Apollo 15's S-IC-10 Gallery

These photos are of S-IC-10 in the transfer isle of the VAB. It has been lifted from its transporter to a vertical position for lifting "over the wall" to the Mobile Launcher. The F-1 engines are clearly visible with the protective rubber covers over the nozzles. The nozzle extensions have not been installed yet, so the engines look too short. You can definitely get a sense of scale while viewing these photos, the S-IC is huge!
