This is a Saturn 1B rocket at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, in 1985. As far as I am aware, it's still there on display.
Saturn 1B rockets were launched 9 times between 1966 and 1975, including three crewed Skylab flights. All were successful.
Later the Saturn series of rocket designs culminated in the mighty Saturn V which famously transported astronauts into space on the Apollo missions.

I saw these guys comin' my way from a couple miles off, and took some shots of them as they approached. And now that I see the guy's holdin' an automatic weapon, I'm wondering how smart it was to point something at him. Though I have to say the copilot seemed to be more interested in me than the guy with the gun.
And from the looks of the cameras on the bottom of the chopper,
I'd guess they probably have some pics of me too!

Inside the Launch Abort System Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Orion spacecraft that flew on Exploration Flight Test-1 in 2014 has been secured on the crew module transportation fixture. Orion is being prepared for transport to Orion prime contractor Lockheed Martin's facility in Denver, where it will undergo direct field acoustic testing. This is a technique used for acoustic testing of aerospace structures by subjecting them to sound waves created by an array of acoustic drivers. For the test, several electro-dynamic speakers will be arranged around Orion to provide a uniform, well-controlled, direct sound field test at the surface of the spacecraft. Orion will next launch atop NASA's Space Launch System rocket on Exploration Mission-1. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
