really puts things size-wise into perspective, huh? : )

my thoughts exactly.

Me too!

+Collin Wys Apparently He's Very uneducated on the Apollo missions. If these guys would watch one of the ENTIRE missions, which they are on YT, they might change their minds. The 3 TV networks of the time ran 24 hr a day coverage of Apollo11 & they had a constant feed to mission control & the astronauts were clearly in zero G for days. NO camera cuts or different scenes, but one long , running scene. They were not in suits so they cant say it was in water. Its all so stupid. All the ridiculous shit about it not being possible even now is all misinformation that is passed continuously around from one dummy to the next. Not possible my ass. The Van Allen rad belts are no problem at the speed they were traveling. And the thermosphere which they've learned is 2,000 degrees is a very deceptive thing! While the molecules Are that temp, they are spread so thin , its not actually hot there. The temp is still below zero. But it takes someone with a bit of a science background & a bit of knowledge of thermodynamics & that type thing to understand it, & all that is WAY the hell over their little heads.

+NASACrooks I hope you are infertile.

***** Again the usual NO ANSWER, just the smart comeback "Quip". All the little smart cut downs, & all an empty sack except for bullshit.

***** You're the idiot, apparently. You never answer anything, therefore, I'm finished with this "Talk". So Long.

ellis dee You're exactly right. Why dont we just shorten that name & call him a FUCKTARD! haha.

Yeah same here. I just always assumed the last Saturn to fly was a V. Looks like a 1-B instead

That's beautiful. Thanks for your comment!

sam signorelli p

A 1b was the last Saturn that flew.

@@spaceflightsimperson3352 KZfaq::: ("Simple-Experiment-Proves-Apollos-FAKE") & stop fooling yourself

You do know that his widow and son 100% believe that he was a sacrifice and that it wasn’t an accident. He was the only one out of all the 33rd degree mason astronauts to openly criticize all the huge faults and problems with the program and submit inquiries to congress. He literally hung a coat hanger with a lemon on it outside of the module that would be his fiery coffin. No one has been to the moon walking around playing golf and falling all over the place. It is so obviously fake that if you can see it for yourself you might just be too far gone to save. Look at the faces of Apollos hero’s at the press conference. They all know what they are saying is a lie and you can see it all over their faces and in the body language they display. Neil by far seems to be the most disillusioned and saddened having to lie to the world. Jack parsons who had no formal education created the formula of rocket fuel . He was also best friends with elron Hubbard and practiced sex magic in a satanic freemasonic cult that he ran out of his house. Why don’t you read the Bible verse that’s on warner von Braun’s grave and then try and tell me that that he believed in any of this. The only thing that’s gone to space is your imagination. And the only black hole nasa eve found is the one we all throw our tax money into. Nasa is a branch of the D.O.D. That is a fact and if you don’t understand what that means you should just not engage in any intellectual conversation pertaining to the space program.

Those Giants had balls!! They actually already paved a highway to the moon and back for us, and we still just hovering the face of this earth? Those giants must think our astronauts are either pussies, or fucking stupid ..........

We will miss this true Hokie, Virginia Tech class of 1944.

not really he ruined Scott Carpenter's career

Why? Because of all the millions of women and children Obersturmbannführer and mass murderer Wernher von Braun has killed? Sorry, but I can't watch this. It turns my stomach.

Ernst Stavro Blofeld : Without Von Braun, man would have never gone to the moon in the first place, and the United States, would have become a plain, ordinary nation without a space program. Von Braun is NOT a murderer. HITLER, forced him to build his powerful V-2 rockets to bombard London and many other European nations during WW-II. And if he refused, then the fuhrer would have ordered his Nazi troops, to go and murder, Von Braun's entire family. So for the sake of his wife and children, Von Braun had to obey Hitler's orders, or else his family would have been murdered, and maybe even himself included. So please, don't blame Von Braun for what happened during WW-II. It was HITLER, the REAL murderer of humanity.

Fred Jamison : You are crap, and full of it.

Fred Jaminson : According to my experienced professors who taught me the subject in high school, and various scientific experts whom i have met personally, INCLUDING ASTRONOMERS, the APOLLO capsules, had sufficient bullet-type speeds, capable of passing by the Van Allen Belts, virtually UNDAMAGED. That is how our astronauts were able to travel to the moon safely, and return home unharmed . Better start taking science courses soon, because the way i see it, you flunked miserably on the subject in school, during your young, teenage years.

The giant SATURN V moon rocket, was 10 times the size of the Empire State Building, capable of taking the Apollo spacecraft, ALL THE WAY to the moon and back.

Harald Jan Dahle : Mark is currently unemployed because his company SPACECRAFT FILMS, went out of business 2 years ago.

Nobody knew what the fuel would do in weightlessness. And with the SIVB stage having to restart after coasting they needed to know. It's easy to forget, how much was just unknown.

Even more awesome kowing that these were cameras with film in it, and had to be recovered after the stage came down.

Josh That is cool, and they monitored the tanks with live television fed back to the launch site in real time, not film cameras. Look at 8:27 . I had no idea.

The most amazing part is that they were explosion proof! A live electrical unit inside a LOX tank! WOW!!!!

RANDY MILLER : History connoisseurs regard to this proud period as AMERICA'S GOLDEN ERA OF MANNED SPACE FLIGHT. You can still see many of the classic mission highlight films, taken directly from the NASA ARCHIVES, right here on KZfaq. I have them all downloaded on my own personal video file.

​@@georgevila2777 They've also add Elon Musks candy apple red roadster........ doing burn outs around the earth..... in HD too!!! They've come a long way baby.

As a Brit, I think they're nazi scum who built rockets that were fired at civilian targets in London. Many innocent people died because of those scientists. They should have been tried for war crimes and executed. If that's your idea of the pride of America, you should set your heights a little higher.

Just imagine what could have been if NASA had been given the go-ahead to continue the Saturn program via the Apollo Applications Program. We might be on Mars already. It's still a real shame that they just through away all that research and development just to fund a war in Vietnam and Johnson's Great Society programs...

Politicians SUCK!!!

Dear God, tell me they no betern spellings then u

You read the Eyes Turned Skyward's alternate history too, didn't you?

Apollo couldn't have transported the modules and other large equipment to the ISS. Without the Shuttle, we wouldn't have had a space station.

YDDES you do realize we could have used the same rockets that carried Apollo to lift the ISS modules to orbit, righy? Because thats exactly what the Russians did.

+Matthew Seligman So, what about the truss and all the outside details and equipment, mounted by the help of the "Canadarm" crane? Apollo had no crane and room for it. And, apart from the building of the ISS, the shuttle transported whole laboratory modules up and back in its cargo bay, complete with experiments. Something Apollo could not do.

YDDES it simply would have been built in a different way.....look at Mir, which was HUGE, and built without the shuttle. the Esa, Russia, and the US are not going with shuttles again for a reason. laboratory modules can be returned in other ways as well, including removal of the experiments to a return craft the shuttle was dangerous, over complicated, and inefficient in extremis

rikerdodger : YES, PART II IS AVAILABLE.

You aren't the only one... I never received multiple dvds that I ordered. Some have been in "preorder" mode for years and 1 was even released but I've never gotten them and can't get a reply to email inquires. No valid phone number to be found on the website, which, by the way, doesn't even list some of the dvds that I ordered anymore....

route66lv and T Kerrig: Spacecraft Films is OUT OF BUSINESS, permanently for ever because they defrauded many of their loyal customers, including myself. All the dvd sets from Project Mercury, the Apollo 10, 12, 13, 14, 16 and 17 missions, plus Skylab and the early Space Shuttle flights, are completely DISCONTINUED.

@george vila : I'm not from Russia if that's what you mean. I'm from Bulgaria. But yes a true space fan will like it indeed.

It reminds me of the Apollo 13 movie which I enjoyed, so I have no problems with the music :)

Steve Dunch It sounds a little overcooked.

430zack : Which bird are you referring to ?

I I would like to see future rocket scientist think outside of the box we've reached the theoretical level of what we can do with conventional Rockets remember nothing is impossible the future belongs to those who think outside the box

why?is it secret lol

@@georgevila2777 LOL!!......He's dying to get back, turns out NASA canceled all future flights there, till they rediscover their lost technology. Their top german hostages/prisoners working on it are close. Now that they've switched from windows to MAC.

And they surrounded a Jupiter first stage in the middle. Redstone was four fuel and four oxidizer, the Jupiter was just oxidizer.

T Kerrig: SPACECRAFT FILMS, IS BEING OUT OF BUSINESS PERMANENTLY, FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS NOW.

akoni20091 : Facebook is lying to you.

@@georgevila2777 I suspect Mark Gray has stolen quite a bit of money from the folks who supported and believed in his Spacecraft Films DVD business.

They used the relatively cool turbopump exhaust as a shield to keep the main combustion gasses away from the nozzle. Those guys were geniuses! Or maybe that was VonBraun's idea. I'd like to see one of these idiot deniers tell an Apollo engineer he's a liar to his face. We'll see who's in orbit then!

Fernando Mendes The only manned Lunar project the USA has had to date, Apollo.

+Fernando Mendes He was THE designer of the Saturn 5 rocket that took us to the moon. My father worked with him at Redstone Arsenal, here in Huntsville, Alabama, in the 60's. My fathers job had something to do with the first stage engines called the F1. There were 5 in the first stage. The second stage had 5 smaller J2 engines & the third stage had 1 J2 engine.

+STEVE SIMMS Hi Steve. My dad was with IBM at Redstone Arsenal in the 60's also. Di you live in Huntsville also back then? I was born there in 67.....

David Kea Hey David. By 67, I had moved across the state line to Tenn after my dad died. He was working unreal hours at Redstone & died of a heart attack at the end of 63. But I lived there until about 66. And even after my mom remarried, we still lived only about 30 miles from Huntsville over the state line. Ended up back down here by 80 though, & now we live outside Florence in Northwest Alabama. But my dad was working with a team as an engineer with Von Braun on the first stage Saturn 5 engines. Got to hear a test once & Man was it loud! But, I got a comment back from a guy named Steve Fowler that was born at Redstone in 57. I was born in 58 when my dad was there & we think they probably knew each other because of the Fri nite Von Braun meetings they both went to. You still around here these days? Let me know, we might know some of the same people.

Hello again Steve. Thanks for taking time to write. We left Alabama in 1972 at age 5. IBM (I'veBeenMoved) us to Rhode Island where pops worked on the Trident sub programs. We stayed there 5 years before heading west to current home near Vandenberg AFB. Dad worked on the shuttle program for another few years til he retired early and then went to work part time at Martin Marietta/Santa Barbara Research. We are about 10 miles away from missle silos and 15 miles from the main launch pads. I never was able to witness any of the big ones launching at the Cape but I do remember touring the facility. The VAB stands out in my memory. Sure do wish I could've been there for a launch of the big boys down south. I am certain the missles launched out our way couldn't hold a candle to the sight and sound of the Saturn rockets. It would have been great if NASA had launched Space Shuttles out here as they had intentioned.

MK3424 Looks complete to me.

smart451cab With part II i mean by the Saturn V, they where bundled.

MK3424: PART II IS ALREADY AVAILABLE HERE ON KZfaq. I EVEN DOWNLOADED IT, MYSELF ALONG WITH THIS FILM.

Yes, they had 8 H-1 engines in the first stage, compared to 5 F-1 engines for the Saturn V.

Yes but the satirn 5 engines are way more powerful

Yes. The two stage S-1s had fourteen engines - 8 H-1s in the first stage and six RL-10s in the second. The S-1Bs had 9 engines total with just the single J-2 in the S-IVB stage. The S-V had 11 engines: five F-1s in the first stage, five J-2s in the second (S-II) and one J-2 in the third stage (S-1VB)

Same way they put the "milkstool" on top the mobile launch pad by using cranes in the vehicular assembly building then craned the Saturn 1B onto the "milkstool".

@@mako88sb Thank you. No video exists of that procedure.

@@TomTimeTraveler And remember, when it's empty it weighs about 1/10 of its liftoff weight. And they don't lift the entire thing at once either . . . stage by stage and then lunar module adaptor section and finally the Apollo spacecraft. Easy for a fifty ton crane.

The sad reality is that the US public grew jaded, and the huge expense of throw-away, one time use rockets, is prohibitive. The shuttle was supposed to be able to turn-around, get launched again, in just a few days. It ended up being months to patch, repair, re-launch. So the shuttle idea was fine, the execution was flawed. Space-X and similar civilian ventures are probably the future for the USA.

@butchtropic I was referring to the Saturn 1b not the Saturn V. The 1b was 8 jupiter missiles bundled together. Mmmkay?

@@scottjustscott3730 Even so, the V1 was the pulse detonation 'buzz bomb'. You meant the V2. Having said that, these engines were well beyond the V2 powerplants.

@Brown Paw gotta move with the times... Metric is the international unit of science. I'm from the UK and we use miles and some people want to go back to using pounds and ounces etc but those days are gone. Metric's so much easier anyway! Ah well, you're right though. There is an American flag on the moon and you should, rightly, be very proud of that. It was a phenomenal achievement. The USA has led the way in space exploration and the future looks very exciting as well. Gotta go. I need to get to the gym. I have a few kilos I need to shed!

@Brown Paw The measurement system used is irrelevant. There is zero correlation between a measurement system used and whether a mission will be a success.

@Brown Paw Oh btw The U.S. does use the metric system extensively by scientists, engineers, and technicians.

@CipiRipi00 No, the mistake was not specifically because of the system used think about it. There is zero correlation based on the system used. The mistake was because of an assumption.

@CipiRipi00 You don't get it. It is not the measurement system itself which determines probability of success from another system of measurement.

Yes.

You could take the vast majority of conspiracy nutcases to the moon and show them all the landing sites plus the deployed ALSEP's, Apollo 16 UV telescope, rover tracks, and footprints, and they would simply say "nope, sorry, still not convinced". It doesn't make any sense to do anything to try and convince them that the landings happened since they are too irrational to ever admit they might be wrong. The Saturn rockets were fantastic machines but pretty limited in their mission parameters. The SLS/Orion are being designed for missions that could possibly last for months/years and they are using some new manufacturing techniques to maximize their potential. For example, look up friction stir welding. Using this innovative process has saved about 800lbs of weight on the Orion capsule simply because they can use thinner material than possible with the older welding methods because there's much less heat distortion.

The blue prints exist. The problems are the manufacturing methods employed then don't exist now nor do the engineers and technicians. It would probably be easier to do today than just 20 years ago with the advances in 3D printing removes the need for traditional machining.

@@mako88sb ha ha! You're right! If you took them to the moon they'd start saying that Earth is a hoax... Anything to feel clever and important!

I agree with you !!!. Sure glad they chose not to use it for apollo 11 and the moon landing.
