59 years ago, Apollo 4 was the first launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center

On Nov. 9, 1967, a huge milestone happened in NASA's goal of landing on the moon when the first flight test of the Saturn V lifted off as the uncrewed Apollo 4 mission. This was the first launch ever from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

"At liftoff, the vibration from the Saturn V showered us with dust and debris from the ceiling of the Launch Control Center, which was brand new at the time," NASA's Public Information Chief Jack King said.

It's said the rocket’s power led to 7.5 million pounds of thrust.
