They were portrayed in the book and film Hidden Figures. The smoke from the rocket is made up of actual equations from one of computer Katherine Johnson's technical reports. The rocket is the Atlas LV-3B carrying the Mercury capsule Friendship 7 with John Glenn in 1962.

Description: Saturn V was an American Rocket used by NASA between 1967 and 1973 for the Apollo Program. It consisted of three stages, each fueled by liquid propellants. There were five Rocketdyne F-1 engines used as the first stage. As of 2020, the Saturn V remains the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful (highest total impulse) rocket ever brought to operational status, and holds records for the heaviest payload launched and largest payload capacity to low Earth orbit.
