  • The Saturn V rocket, the most powerful ever built at the time, was developed to meet the challenge of the lunar mission, pushing science and engineering to its absolute limits. Our story goes back to WWII-era Nazi Germany, where the V2 rocket, the world's first ballistic missile, laid the groundwork for future space exploration. Now, we follow the making and launching of this historic rocket.
    From the World Wars and the atomic bomb to the Space Race and digital revolution, The Modern Age explores the world-changing events and people of the 20th century. Every week we’ll be bringing you award-winning documentaries that journey into the century that defined our way of life.

    I grew up watching the first rockets all the way to the end of Apollo, the men walking on the Moon, the Apollo 13 suspense, to the Space Shuttle. I remember when the announcement came of Sputnik and the speech of President Kennedy to put a man on the Moon. I watched the first Mercury flight with Alan Shepard to John Glenn's first American orbit of the Earth. And then the Gemini rockets. I had a toy Gemini that would launch the capsule up about 40 or 50 feet. They would let us stay home from school to watch the Mercury and Gemini launches if they were going to be early or we would watch them in the classroom. This was history. This was the pride of the Nation. Then came the Apollo launches. I watched the first ones orbit the moon, then descend part of the way down until finally landing on the surface . The first time the astronauts orbited the moon no one knew if they would come around or just keep going out into space. I watched the moon landing from the living room in our house with my father and my family. The first step onto the moon by Neil Armstrong. The entire thing defined a generation and shaped the way we thought about the United States of America, that we could accomplish anything we set our minds to.

    OK, OK, Fantastic, I love watching the Saturn 5 with the music in the back ground and get this, when I watched the STARSHIP 4 take off I was VERY CRITICAL at first because of the lack of camera angles and perspective shots like the Giant ARMS holding the Saturn down popping open, unlaching its self from the botton of the ship for instence, and setting Saturn free. But they did not get the practice of filming the launch as many times. But from what I saw of the STARSHIP launch it WAS actually replicated to a degree I believe on purpose which, is the best idea for a start. The shot ,of the STARSHIP LOOKING DOWN AS THE SHIP raises up past the camera, probably a drone from that high up, that when launched the ship could be seen raising off the pedistal and coming twards you and up from the starbourd side of the vehicle, was very cool with kimd of a fish eyed lense effect but minimal.

    About a quarter of the way through this quite wonderful documentary and I am struck by The comparisons that are being presented to the audience, not directly through comparable reference, maybe more through my own imagination/and the facts from the past and those of the present. What I’m thinking about is SpaceX and the combination of other companies that are working towards a vision that is seemingly so unsurmountable that it feels like science-fiction. The notion of, or the reality of, the majority of the goals and aims that Elon Musk’s company and the people that work tirelessly for it, have placed upon their collective vision - for me really draws a lot of comparisons to this amazing period in (not just in America - note I am not an American) but in overall technical, engineering, aeronautical, computational, life sciences etc. Etc challenges (I am no expert in these things.) minds and actions of people working on it - there are really a lot (in fact SO MANY - just that I know of & have read about) of components that make up the whole that are similar in not only there/their vision as well as audaciousness - just to get through massive levels of experimentation, the feats and the failures.
    I am only up to 1963, the Mercury Period in NASA (and all those other groups and companies) and the assassination of the American president, Kennedy at the time - who set the goal of putting Man on the moon by the end of the decade of 1960. Also to mention at this point that I was born in 1969. - the rolling joke over the years being when Men was on the moon I was in the womb.😊

      In fact the Apollo program did exactly what it was designed for: Beat the Soviets to the moon.
      Afterwards the problems were #1 Reaching the moon ended the Space Race. #2 No ambitious follow space program (because of #1) we got Skylab and the space shuttle. #3 The public was thinking in the early 1970s yesterday the moon, tomorrow Mars, next week the stars - forgetting that going to the moon is like putting your big toe in the ocean and for Mars and the rest you really need to learn to swim.#4 More and more funds going into the Vietnam war and getting nothing in return.

    Just a little note. Alan Shepherd wasn't the first American in Space. It was really John Glen. Alan and Gus were both sub-orbital. Meaning they only reached the edge of space. Their final altitude was roughly 116 miles. John Glen rose to 162 miles. Still, an amazing feat which spurred on NASA. It's sad to see the decrepit condition of NASA today.

      Shepard did not reach orbit but he did achieve an altitude of 187 kilometers so yes he was definitely in space, way above either Nasa's definition of it or the official Karman line of 100 km. Both are a bit arbitrary really. By the way a German V-2 rocket reached an altitude of almost 175 km in 1944, going straight up.

      What you are saying about the SLS is true, but the Saturn V isn't the most powerful rocket anymore. SpaceX's Starship stack makes 16.7 million pounds of thrust compared to the Saturn V's 7.75 million. I remember seeing the Saturn V in person and thinking that was huge and that we will never see another giant liquid fueled rocket like that again, but fast forward to today and Starship is even bigger than the Saturn V! Exciting times.

      SpaceX may have a more powerful setup, but until they successfully complete a full mission in its entirety, they still cannot hold a candle to the Saturn V. You can make all the claims in the world about better designs, but until the rubber meets the road, and the rockets return for reuse (as many as 15 to 20 times for a moon mission, and a preposterous 500 round trips to put enough fuel and oxidizer into space for a mars mission) you have nothing but a useless pile of scrap. Enough with the "learning". We did this in a few decades back in the 50s and 60s. That we can't even return to the moon speaks volumes about the skills and knowledge which were lost, and may never be rediscovered. We have the ability to design, model, and simulate with some of the most advanced tech that folks with only slide rules could only dream to have. And we have advanced no more in the direction of the moon, or even mars. The moon was always about politics and always will be, but in my mind there is no reason to go back, and Mars is a death sentence.
