Soviet poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko, the first Soviet dignitary to accept an invitation
to watch an Apollo launch, described his reaction to the Apollo 16 launch:
"It was beautiful, it was poetry. It was a great impression...It's really a beautiful show, this white tender body of a rocket,supported by the clumsy but sometimes tender hands of the red gantry tower. I absolutely had the feeling of one big brother embracing his sister before a long way, a long road. It was wonderful. Silence, not people. No press. Nothing. The sky, the ground, the rocket. It was so beautiful." |

At about 30,000 miles out the
Earth changes from three-dimensional to flat, like a picture on the wall.
