This is the Ranger 6, a space vehicle that's about to leave.
Like any tourist, its equipped with cameras, six of them designed to send back three thousand pictures of the lunar surface just before it crash lands on the moon.
Five previous Ranger shoots have been failures but it is imperative that scientists know more about the moon's atmosphere and terrain before a man flight.
Thus high hopes go with this launch of Ranger 6, a twenty-eight million dollar trip, two hundred and thirty thousand miles.
The launching is the smoothest of the Ranger series and it follows by two days of spectacular success of the Saturn orbit of a nineteen ton payload.
About sixteen hours after take off, scientists fired a rocket aboard the Ranger to correct the course of the eight hundred pound capsule and put it directly on path to land on the moon at the Sea of Tranquility.
Within a few seconds its estimated time of arrival, the Ranger approached the moon in a matter of such animation shows.
The last nineteen minutes of the flight are the crucial ones.
After a perfect sixty-six hour flight it was supposed to take pictures like this when signaled from the ground.
This was a failure, the cameras did not operate as the Ranger landed within a mile of the target area.
