A photo of the Saturn V Moon rocket during its first launch on Apollo 4 (November 9, 1967), but the rocket has been turned into an illustrated anime girl with dark skin, long white flowing hair, and blue eyes. She is staring at the camera and smirking, standing on the launchpad with her arms akimbo and wearing a white T-shirt with black sleeves and an American flag on the chest, black and white checkered pattern shorts--the same pattern as many early NASA rockets including the Saturn V--and black and white striped socks with "USA" printed on the white stripes. It is a dimly lit early morning with a dark blue sky and clouds, and most of the bright yellow light is emanating from the rocket exhaust emitting from the girl's shoes. There are sparks and clouds of smoke surrounding her body as she prepares for launch.

If I turned a famous space rocket into an anime girl, would that be weird or what?

Been a while since I drew anything. This is a little different from what I've usually drawn, but I'm just happy to get my creative gears turning again! I've always been fascinated by space and spaceflight, so I thought I'd take to drawing my own take on the Saturn V rocket. Hope you enjoy!

The background is based on this photo by NASA, taken during the actual Saturn V launch of Apollo 4 on November 9, 1967!
