It dawn, the three-stage passenger rocket, sitting on a movable platform has just been rolled out of its assembly hanger. The 265-foot spaceship is a monster rocket - as tall as a twenty-four-story building. It is 65 feet in diameter at its base. The fat, bottle-shaped rocket weights 7,000 tons, as much as a light naval cruiser and more then twice the weight of the Apollo program's Saturn V rocket. The Ground crew will work around the clock for the next three days refueling the rocket with 5,250 tons of nitric acid and hydrazine. Check out this cool still image of the launch site from the air.
