It really is a sin and a shame that IMAX didn't exist quite early enough
to film a Saturn V launch...


....Henry, wasn't a prototype for IMAX demonstrated at the '67 Expo?
IIRC, the original proof-of-tech concept was conceived in '65 or

around that time. Wasn't Hemisfair '68, because I was there.
