Launch ground crew members erect a U.S. Flag in front of rocket builder Steve Eves' one-tenth scale Saturn V rocket (rear) in Price, Maryland during the early morning hours of April 25, 2009. The 36 foot high rocket, which was a three-year project costing approximately 25,000-30,000 U.S. dollars to build, is the largest model rocket ever successfully launched. Eves' rocket commemorates the 40th anniversary of the July 16, 1969 launch of the United States Apollo 11, which put the first man on the moon. (Xinhua/Reuters Photo) |
