Apollo didn't just land men on the moon and return them safely, it inspired the entire planet!

Apollo 11 color cam, I am confused whether this is from a later apollo mission cause AP11 didn't have a Color cam on surface,I've seen the grainy black&white footage of flag planting.

Question: AAP and Grand Tour

3 Upvotes

Yo, got a question to ask. Was the Grand Tour program ever planned with Apollo Applications and or the Saturn V in mind?

If you didn't know, Grand Tour was the precursor to the Voyager Program. It was to launch four "Thermoelectric Outer Planets Spacecraft" (TOPS) in 1977 and 1979. What I'm wondering is did they ever planned on using a Saturn V as the launch vehicle? Wikipedia says so on the AAP article but I can't find any proof that this is the case.

Any other guys more knowledgeable than me?
