The lunar lander, in the eyes of some observers, was the most critical part of the Apollo vehicle. The many things that could doom the crew made ground-testing all the more important, so the company built a 150-foot-high Impact Test Facility. It looked like a gigantic playground swing and checked the module's structural integrity and impact loads by drop-testing it on water (shown here), sand, gravel and boulders.
