"I recognize that there are still areas where we are behind - at least in one area, the size of the booster - this year I hope the United States will be ahead." -John F. Kennedy, regarding this launch
Saturn I Saturn-Apollo 5 (SA-5): NASA Countdown Manual Dated
December 6, 1963. An 8.5" x 11" comb-bound manual of 100+ pages

Saturn I would fly in two stages including the S-IV second stage
and also the first orbital flight in the Apollo program. It
successfully launched on January 29, 1964, finally proving that the
United States could build launch vehicles as large as the Soviet
Union, an important step toward Kennedy's goal of landing a man on
the moon before the end of the 1960s. The first of these we have
