Photographers in front of NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Orlando, FL. Image taken on launch day of Apollo 11 (first flight to put humans on moon), July 16, 1969.
Taken at the Press Site at NASA's Launch Complex 39 at the Kennedy Space Center. Building in background is the Vehicle Assemble Building (VAB), where the Apollo Rockets (1966-1972) and Space Shuttles are stacked together. It is the largest single-story building in the world, covering 8 acres. The building is so large that it has its own weather; rain clouds form just below the ceiling on humid days. Moisture reductions systems are used to take care of the "rain."
The location for this image and all of the Morton Apollo 11 and 14 images is technically Cape Kennedy; prior to 1963 the Cape area about 45 miles east of Orlando, Florida had been known as Artesia (1893-1954), Port Canaveral (1954-1962) and Cape Canaveral (1962-Present). But in 1963, following the death of President Kennedy, it was renamed Cape Kennedy to honor the fallen President. In 1973, the residents voted to return the name to Cape Canaveral. And at that point the NASA space center was given the name Kennedy Space Center (KSC).
