North American Aviation - What does it take to hand-carry the American flag to the moon?

Apollo-era Advertising, from Time Magazine.

 

This is from a 1965 issue. North American built the Apollo's Saturn V second stage, their Rocketdyne division built the actual main rocket engines on the first stage, and North American Aviation built the Apollo Command Module and Service Module (CSM).

 

North American was acquired before the moon landing by Rockwell, who briefly used both names. Rockwell went on to be prime contractor to build the space shuttle.
