Sitting in a camping chair on the roof of your Plymouth Satellite to get an even better view. Meyerowitz recorded this young couple at one of the most memorable moments of the 20th century. Four American astronauts left earth in a spacecraft headed to the moon. The couple drove to Cape Canaveral to see the rocket launch from close by.
