Horsepower and Rocketpower
Fifty years of history and 31, 999, 99 horsepower mark the difference in these two pictures taken at the front of Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) in New Orleans, Louisiana. The top image shows a 1915 horse and buggy passing in the front of the old Michoud Plantation. The bottom image is a 32 million horsepower Saturn I booster passing over the same road. The brick chimneys, the remnants of the Antoine Michoud Plantation built in the mid-1800s, still remain as in 1915. Michoud Assembly Facility built the stages of Saturn I, Saturn IB and Saturn V vehicles under the management of Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC)

Horsepower and Rocketpower - A Journey Through Time at Michoud Assembly Facility
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the stark contrast between two eras, separated by fifty years of history and an astonishing 31,999 horsepower. The top image transports us back to the year 1915, where a humble horse and buggy gracefully pass in front of the old Michoud Plantation in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is a nostalgic glimpse into a simpler time when horses were the primary mode of transportation. Fast forward to the bottom image, taken on the same road but half a century later. Here we witness an awe-inspiring sight - a colossal Saturn I booster soaring through the sky with an unimaginable power of 32 million horsepower. This remarkable feat of engineering showcases how far humanity has come in harnessing technology for space exploration. The remnants of Antoine Michoud's mid-1800s plantation still stand tall as witnesses to this incredible transformation. Today, they serve as silent reminders that progress can coexist harmoniously with our historical roots. Michoud Assembly Facility played a pivotal role in shaping these advancements by constructing stages for iconic vehicles like Saturn I, Saturn IB, and Saturn V under Marshall Space Flight Center's management. Its contribution to space exploration cannot be overstated. In this single photograph lies not only two contrasting images but also an encapsulation of human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit to push boundaries beyond imagination – from horse-drawn carriages to rocket-propelled dreams reaching for the stars.
