Wernher von Braun and his son are driven around the courthouse square in Huntsville, Madison County, during an Apollo 11 celebration in July 1969. Saturn V booster rockets, developed in Huntsville under von Braun's direction, lifted the Apollo 11 spacecraft out of Earth's orbit during its historic journey to bring the first men to the moon.
