I was born 50 years too late.

My dad was one of the engineers on the LM (Lunar Module) project, so I remember it too, although I won’t say “I remember it well.” The first mission I have direct-but-fragmented memories from was Apollo 8. Apollo 11 I remember more clearly, Apollo 13 more clearly still.

Me too!!!

He was friend with Wernher von Braun, who convicted him that his German engineering will be able to bring man to the moon

CIA was too power hungry ....

John Kennedy, not Jack 😂

@@700tbm Jack is short for John my grandfather was named John and went by Jack his whole life. JFK was called Jack often

His name was John F. Kennedy

No computers, no social media, no tiktok

They got lucky. They had nasty oscillation problems of different kinds on many of them that could have torn the rockets apart.

​​@@Jay-jb2vr Saturn V had an on-board computer and Apollo spacecraft had several. Plus many mainframe computers on the ground supporting the missions.

@@ClausB252 Whoooooossshhhh

Well I see we have a NON engineer here. Yeah luck, the most powerful, complicated machine known to man and they just lucked out. Remember it's better to remain silent and have people think your a douche then open your mouth and prove them true. I'd advise tattooing that on your forehead 😎

You are right, it really was too expencive. But it was not achieved, to serve science, but to win a battle in cold war - and there s always money für war......

his name John Houbolt the LM landing gear, still on the moon, built in Canada by F Marchand at Heroux machine parts ltd.

OK, LOR was crucial to the Apollo mission! BUT, this video chose to not mention John Houbolt! Wonder why? (At least, they didn't show ALL of that classroom video shot. EVERYONE uses that same shot of Houbolt standing at a chalkboard.) steve

You're correct. They do get it right in Episode 2.

Because he had the final say in which one was going to be pursued..

Dr. John C. Houbolt

It was probably an instant flash of light and heat inside, very sad.

As a kid, I did my drivers test in a Saturn. 😊

Yes, while it's hard to overstate how smart and integral he was, boiling the space race on the u.s.'s side down to one person (or even 3), is way too simplistic, and overlooks the contributions made by countless, unnamed engineers who don't get the glory. Getting a man on the moon took millions of man hrs, technicians, engineers, project managers, politicians, etc. They all made a contribution, and with the drive we had to beat the Russians, if von braun didn't exist, you'd be saying someone else was the visionary. That's not a criticism of von braun, it's a testament to our will. I get your point, im not trying to give you a hard time, but this is like saying Robert Oppenheimer is the Manhattan Project.

Yes, but there's that niggling little detail about von Braun bearing the equivalent rank of major in the SS. The media back then ignored that fact plus the uncomfortable histories of the other nazis in our rocket programs. The American public would have called the journalists everything from unpatriotic to commie collaborators had they brought these facts up. So von Braun et al were presented as German civilian scientist who just happened to get caught up in a war.

Rest in piece Sir!

Recording history and major awards? C'mon man. You lost all credibility there alone, but then you went on a nonsensical political rant about God knows what just so you could take shots at one side of a political party... I think you may have smoked some bad granola there, buddy.

@@benjaminrapp7418 And you have credibility telling a, dual Grammy,, Emmy and Soul Train Nominations, not credible, eh? And a Second Grammy Nomination. Under Best Engineered Category. But whatever you think, sure. Talk about credibility LOL. And political rant? You guys don't? Pot calling the kettle black perhaps? Really you guys are a riot. And you're going to cause one or two may be many. And for what? To dictate to other Americans how they should live their lives? Are you that screwed up? Of course you are. You're a Republicunt. And I definitely don't like you guys. You guys screwed me up real bad here in Texan Ville. Which I really didn't need.. From your conservative Christian Republicunt wackos. So yeah, Rant. Like Alex Jones doesn't rant? You know he destroyed my Sunday Brunch one day? They sat him right down next to me at Sawyers Restaurant. On East Cesar Chavez in Austin, Texas. And I did want to get caught many crossfire with his 2 bodyguards cocked and loaded. I got up paid my bill and left. Dead children a hoax? What the hell is wrong with you man? What kind of drugs have you been taking? Jesus drugs? Donnie drugs? Trump Enemas? Trump Enemas! Of course! And do not light any flames there that.. They are both full of methane and hatred toward Americans you don't like. Who are pissed-off with being hated by lamebrain Americans. And for what? I mean really. Pathetic. Since you obviously can't see what the hell's going on here in our country. Because it's not Your Country. It's Our Country. Where we get to agree to disagree. But you Republicunt's don't think so. What the hell man? What country did you come from? America? I don't think so. So you're damn right I go into Political Rants. Because my life has been directly affected. By right just wacko extremists called Republicunt's. That's why,, buddy boy. It's okay. We are to November yet. Nikki and Ron DeSantisepsis, will be the only ones on the ballot. Donnie boy castrated himself. He's a self entitled screwball whack job. And you are into Hitler Worship. Celebrity Worship. You are a lemming. Maybe a Rat? Certainly a sheep. But maybe a black widow. Oh that's right you don't like black either. As you also refused to be Woke. Which is the I Hate Americans Club. Good for you! Yeah and it only took Hitler a few years.. To get followers like you. So nice your family raise you to hate Americans. You all Don't Like. And so what business is it of yours? What goes on inside a different Homo Sapien species', body? Precisely, what? Why should you make decisions for a different species called women? Jesus called you on your smart phone and told you to? Of course.. I forgot I didn't think about that. Well tell him I said hi because he's my brother not your brother. I'm a Jew. You are not a Jew. You don't like Jews. But you worship a Jew. Great! Good for you! You certainly have your head screwed on right.. You are thinking clearly. Well you didn't get a chance to work in the White House with Ronald Reagan and George Herbert Walker Bush like I did. You got to masturbate pretending you wear them. I mean were them. Maybe both? After all you want to get inside some other woman's body. Have you considered seeing a psychiatrist? I got my sex change surgery decades ago. How about you? Most Americans don't hate other Americans. Even if we know you do. But you don't have to go. You can wait for us. As we have had enough. Of Thuggish Tough Guy, Godfather, Bullshit. Enough! You have my permission to start acting like an American now. And get drunk. I would join you if I could. But I'm taking care of my 100-year-old mother. Good thing I'm now retired. Maybe you should retire yourself also. I'm just saying. Happy new year and vote for the right guy. Because you don't want to be a loser again. Like you were the last time and didn't believe it. And so if it happens a second time. Maybe this time you'll be able to believe it? No that's impossible. It's whatever you make up. It's what emotional four-year-olds do. It's okay my friend. You will soon fall on your face. And break your own teeth out. So we don't have to.

part 191

Statistical variation. The pogo problem may have caused the first J2 engine failure.

It could also be that humidity levels on the first flight were higher allowing more ice to build on the fuel line which helped isolated from the vertical vibrations.

I think the Starship has 2 stages, the first stage uses 33 raptor engines so they are smaller than Saturn 5's 5 F1 engines. Starship's 2nd stage uses only 3 engines but since it's already high in the atmosphere they are not nearly as powerful as the Saturn 5's F1 engines.

@@erichaynes7502 So the Saturn 5 is still the most powerful engine ever built. Thanks.

@@marcdb1412 Yes,k it was brute force back then..they would never build another F1 in today's world as today's engines have way less parts. The F1 is the most powerful rocket engine but the Starship is by far the most powerful rocket ever built. Hopefully Elon gets it to work if so it will be a game changer.

No. Not until a successful launch. Then the baton will be passed. As it is, Starship has a way to go - the Stage 1 burn was a dismal failure but hopefully provided the telemetry needed to prepare for a successful launch either this year (2023) or sometime early in 2024. Until then, it is just an heir apparent to the title.

@@davidgapp1457 In this documentary it says the Saturn V is the largest rocket ever built. Starship today is the largest rocket ever built, and it was successfully launched.

Yes finally 50 years later 50 years later

@@musicbruv One successful launch it did, @davidgapp1457 did not see it ? Now he gests a second change, witness it, remember it.

Finally it only took 50 years

Slide rules.

@@b43xoit Ok slide rules and abacus. Lol

No they had computers. Crude, but they could do calculations. They certainly had no CAD or CAM. They didn’t have a means to do complex flow calcs so they relied more heavily on testing. Today they have computers and they still blow stuff up!

Lots of computers. A room full of mainframes for starters

Sorry to break it to, but starshp is not going to work, and if it does, then it will not be man rated. SLS broke launch records, SpaceX breaks starshps.

Most of the astronauts got divorces too and for the same reason.

That’s not what THIS video is about

@@mikealvord55 Did you ask the creators of the video? That very much WAS part of the history. IDK maybe it would have made it too long. but it would have been appropriate.

FYI von Braun was a far dirtier NAZI than we were lead to believe in the use of slave labor. Also, and this is a travesty, he and his team shamelessly stole the patents of the Father of Rocketry Robert Goddard. Fun fact: Goddard's neighbors in Mass. complained about the noise so he packed up and moved to guess where? Roswell NM, FACT. I'm not making any connection but it is true. 😎

Not in this episode.

Named after the Roman god, like Apollo was.

Why not? 😎

Starship.is 2 times the weight with over 2 times the power and will be a lot heavier when it has an interior and life support.

@@bryanwheat9101 you mean the one they flew or the planned operational weight?

First what? First Idiot? Idiot!

Double the size or double the weight?

@@sblack48 double the weight and quite a lot larger as it does not taper down. It’s the same diameter it’s entire length. So by volume double.

I doubt starship wll even work so really SLS the only option to get men back on the moon.

@@EricHamm SLS will likely be cancelled before completing the proposed program. It is far too expensive. The IFT2 launch did exactly what it was needed to do. B9 performed its boost-phase job flawlessly, inserting ancient S25 into the proper trajectory. Hot staging worked. It appeared that B9 propellant slosh prevented a proper boost-back burn. S25 seemed to suffer a structural or plumbing failure as max acceleration phase was reached. All these problems will be addressed, or may already have been considered. Blow it up, then fix it has worked for SpaceX since Day One. I see no reason why it will not continue to be a successful path going forward.

we can , and we're doing it, research the Artemis Program

Are you gonna pay ?

Who said we couldn't?

Correction there has never been a Saturn 5 rocket. It was a modified Titan rocket

Did they name the modified Atlas "Titan"

There absolutely was a Titan rocket. Kinda of a 1 1/2 gen Atlas. And like Atlas started life as an ICBM booster, later modified to fly the Gemini spacecraft. FYI all I'd ignore this twat waffle as he is attempting a disinformation campaign.

And he was locked up by Gestapo for a while for saying that the V-2’s landed on the wrong planet.

We’re gonna make a documentary that is nothing but annoying music and force you to watch it. You won’t even be able to tell what they’re talking about, you’ll have to guess by the pictures and the tone of the music.

Mute it and read the closed captions then 😂

and here again the retard whose mother starred in the back street porn movie where he was created....

*when 3 greatest legendary hero of humanity come back to earth...* What about it kiddo? It was one of many conferences they made, your point boy?

No he didn’t you moron! Only a clueless imbecile would believe this never happened

more than 90% of the saturn V is fuel. most of it is basicly built out of tanks with an extra outer skin.

Them long cylinders is where they keep the fuel what did you think they were for?

It’s nearly all fuel. Back to school for you…

60 years later Big Whoop!!

@@martinr1834 ha ha ha ha drunkard thinking

Shouldn't that be; IF only Russians WERE great and A world superpower

Too much Vodka comrade..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah...These old guys really look like BS artists?

I think it was fully fueled at the launch pad. I know at least all of the cryogenic gas tanks were filled just before launch.

The number I've always heard was 6.6 Million lbs. And frankly I don't think I've had it confirmed if that was with fuel or without, I've always assumed full fueled.

and here again the retard whose mother starred in the back street porn movie where he was created....

So what? If seeing great achievements is upsetting you try and stop watching.
