Very cool Saturn V / Apollo-LM cutaway

Very nice! (although I found a few mistakes)

Wow, this is really neat! I'm always fascinated by the sheer number of parts, a subsections that encompass vehicles of any variety. Thanks for posting this.
 
I'm curious, which ones ?

Let's see:
>> the retro rockets at the base of the S-IC are firing the wrong way;
>> the separation plane between the S-IC and the interstage is not where it is indicated, but is actually the "line" above (what is indicated is where the S-IC was bolted to the interstage/S-II during stacking);
>> the interstage between the S-II and S-IVB doesn't separate from the S-II.
 
I recognize this artist's work. I used to have a book of his stuff, and there was always a little green alien and/or a flying saucer somewhere in each of the cutaways in that book. It was a little game to see how many of those you could find. Can't remember if this one has the alien in it, though.
 
Brings back so many memories of pictures of that era. Thank you

I believe that the artist's name is Stephen Biesty. At least, this looks a lot like his work. I had about three of his books when I was a child.
