Launch of Saturn V, the archetype for all phallic rocket designs, for the Apollo 11 mission. From every angle. Keep in mind that this rocket is over 110m tall and 10m in diameter. That’s approximately the same height as a 35 story building, bitches. The rocket weights ~3k tons or 6.7 million pounds and it could carry a payload of an additional 50 tons to the moon.

Design of the rocket begun in 1961 and it was first launched in 1967. The construction phase alone took nearly 1.5 years. My latest box design took nearly that long. In my defense, it does have nearly seven sides. NASA was pretty fucking awesome back then.
