Made during the Apollo program, “Assembling Apollo” is an official NASA film produced circa 1968 that tracks the numerous pieces used to create the rockets and spacecrafts that took man to the moon. The film opens with the various parts being brought to the Kennedy Space Center via all sorts of airplane, ship, and vehicle, as engineers carefully assemble the various stages of the Saturn V rocket. Workers attach communication and fuel lines at mark 02:10, and at mark 03:15 put the “brains” of the rocket — the instrument unit — in place. Starting mark 03:35, the film checks in on the assembly of the lunar spacecraft (including the lunar module, service module, and command module) in the Command Spacecraft Operations Building at NASA before showing it lifted atop the waiting Saturn V at mark 04:40.
