Saturn V briefing

On that same day, Kennedy and others get a briefing on the Saturn V rocket program in the Complex 37 blockhouse. (The president is in the center of the front row, with his left hand to his chin.) At that time, the Florida facility was known merely as the Launch Operations Center. But just one week later, Kennedy was dead from an assassin's bullet, and on November 29, the facility was renamed the John F. Kennedy Space Center.
