Added 2021-12-09 15:26:26 +0000 UTCThis short and very worn fragment of 16mm film is from NASA and details the upcoming launch of Pioneer F (Which would be re-designated Pioneer 10 after launch) in 1972. Enjoy!

Thank you for this, Fran. I was 9 when Pioneer 10 was launched. Back then the best coverage of the NASA missions was in National Geographic magazine. That was an excellent decade with a) becoming old enough to grasp and be amazed at what was being discovered, b) home computers becoming a thing and soldering mine together in '79, and c) close-up pictures of Jupiter (!) and Saturn (!!) and ON SURFACE pics of Mars (!!!).
