I am so blessed to be alive and old enough to understand the missions and to experience the the awe and wonder of the moon landings. I never tire of watching any Apollo or Saturn V documentary. We visited KSC in 2009 to watch STS-125 launch from Titusville, FL. Took the Cape Kennedy tour and I had tears in my eyes when I saw the Saturn V F-1 engines for the first time. I'm going on 66 years old and am still a hard core space geek. What a glorious time to be alive.
I love Apollo 11 just like anyone else, but no one barely cares enough about those Apollo 1-9 & 12, 14-17! They all deserve the acadalades for the size of courage they had to literally do this!
I agree, and they matter a great deal in understanding what made Apollo 11 possible. I've encountered many people and a few friends who believe Apollo 11 was staged. Even more frustrating, each friend of mine has a different version of how the supposed hoax went. I'll list some examples below... - Friend 1: Apollo 11 was staged and Apollo 13 was the first real attempt (which is why it failed). This is admittedly a fun take but easily debunked if he would just sit through a few progress report (films which are actual able on YT). - Friend 2: They didn't have the technology, perhapsnrhey landed on the moon 10 years later but it wasn't possible at the time. Perhaps if he had learned more about the foundational work done on prior Apollo missions and prior NASA programs, he might not have arrived at this erroneous conclusion.
I am 66 years old. I watched the space program from Mercury through the shuttle. On my buclet list is to see this monster in person. I am going to see something that was 363 feet tall.50 feet wide at the fins. Weighing six and a half milliom pounds at lauch. And produced 7,500,000 of thrust. Yes, I was a space geek.
I’m 47 and cannot get enough of watching everything about the space race and shuttle program. I got to watch a shuttle launch in person and I can only imagine what watching the Mighty Saturn V takeoff. I can’t even fathom how our younger generation thinks it’s all fake. How we let these youngsters believe some moron on TH-cam than our real American achievements is baffling to me. I mean how could a half a million people that engineered and built these awe inspiring machines keep it a secret all these years let alone the Soviets would have had to been in on it is completely impossible. They would have been the first to expose anything fake about it. They just seem to get dumber and dumber. Japan and China as well as the Soviets have pictures of every single landing site from our Apollo missions. They’re as bad as the idiot flat earthers…I also live 30mi north of Virgil I. “Gus” Grissoms hometown of Mitchell, Indiana. There’s monuments of him everywhere around here. Including one of his early capsules that has been in space at a small museum as well as one of his original space suits. Pretty cool stuff!
It was my wish to see this Rocket too ! I fulfilled my dream twice : First time in 2002 at KSC Florida Second time 2017 at JSC Houston TX . How huge it was ! When I was 8 , I missed school to see the first Apollo ´s missions . I was glued to the small black and white TV at home , wondering what I saw . This strange and so powerful machine had captured my minds for ever . I don’t believed the launch of Skylab in 1973 was is last flight . It was so costly to developing this rocket to never launch again . It was …. When we saw now how it cost to recreate this kind of rocket , with computer assist . It was unbelievable to think that Saturn was conceived with people using pen and paper and slide rules !!! And helped by bigs computers capable of made what a single lap top do today . When I was older , I realized how incredibly , the humans can do something so wonderful to overpasses what it do so badly in this world. When we want , we can …..
I'm a handful of your badge of living honor. I to am that Geek. Nothing has come close, behind and closing, Russia. They we're all brave men and woman on both side's. They opened the doors to space, they are the gate keeper's. Hope you have a ball, something to tell the grandkids One 🌏👆 ❤️
I'm proud to be a space geek, even a space nerd, in 1975 I got to see an Apollo launch live for the Apollo Soyuz handshake, as a 15 year old I had no option but to become a space nerd. 47 years later I still bore my friends about it. The absolutely visceral feeling was epic.
Dear Space Geek, Make sure you do it. My uncle help design the escape tower for the command module. We went to the Johnson space flight center, the Smithsonian and the Kennedy Space flight center. To see the mighty Saturn rocket and those massive engines up close is a sight to behold. The Johnson Space Flight center is amazing. They actually had to tell me to leave because they were closing and I didn't want to go. There's nothing wrong being a space geek. I'm a 64 year old geek also. Hopefully you'll get the chance to go. Safe travels...
At 33:57 - Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom uttered his famous quote weeks before the fire: If we die, we want people to accept it. We're in a risky business, and we hope that if anything happens to us it will not delay the program. The conquest of space is worth the risk of life.
Just thinking about what could go wrong frightens me. Every part was frightening, my biggest worry was them getting back of the moon. Imagine them stuck, the lander not firing to get them spacbound. They were the bravest met that ever lived. They stared death in the face and came back. 👌
6 under-rated miracles...that single ascent stage engine with no backups!! Then that single SPS has to get them out of orbit...🚀 Truly the right stuff!!
@@danielgregory3295 I wouldnt call it a miracle. As quoted in Apollo 13, "we just decided to go." Once America puts its mind to something, we can do anything.
One of my earliest memories from childhood is watching astronauts walking on the moon. Ive waited over 50 years to see that again. I can't wait for Artemis ❤
I've been to NASA space center in Houston it was a truly amazing tour my next goal is to go to Cape Canaveral and tour the facilities there and hopefully get to watch a rocket launch from Cape Kennedy space center
DO IT!! I just made a 2 week road trip with a fellow space nerd buddy. We saw Chantilly air and space, Huntsville space and rocket, Kennedy space, Houston and Johnson space centers. Also saw a falcon 9 launch and the 2nd Boeing starliner test atop an Atlas V. Incredible thing to experience, everyone should see it once
I absolutely love the music for this amazing documentary. Does anyone know where I can find information about the score? Who wrote the music? I love the sense of awe and wonder the music makes me feel. The Apollo missions are one of America's greatest achievements.
What is amazing is where do you start when they say ok lets build it. What was the process like to organize such a undertaking. Joe were gonna need some wire, and lots of it. Frank you go to Home Depot for some white paint. Ted, your on the press brake? Would love to see micro details of every step in the building of these dream machines.
this might sound stupid to you, but the saturn V, especially the mighty mighty mighty f-1 rocketdyne engines are a point in where i take proud in being a german. it makes me happy that germans helped to achieve a dream of mankind (:
ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE NEWS PAPERS ON THE DATE MAY 25th 1961 IT WAS PRESENT KENNEDY SAYING WE WILL PUT A MAN ON THE MOON IT WAS THE DAY I WAS BORN ALSO AND NOW 61YEARS LATER SO MUCH HAS HAPPEN WITH NASA AND MR MUSK SO MUCH OF SPACE WE HAVE LEARN ABOUT SPACE AND SO MUCH WE STILL WILL LEARN THANK YOU TO ALL WHO BRING US ALL THE NEWS ABOUT SPACE. ROBBIE. FISHTOWN PHILADELPHIA PA
I'm 49 years old and I swear by Duck Tape. Seriously though. My home town (Leicester) and Coventry were blasted by Von Braun's rockets. My grand parents told me of the horror these things created. So England paid the price for NASA's success. I love and respect space exploration, but without war, it would have taken them a lot longer to achieve this. Such is the many sidedness of the human psyche.
Rocketdyne, which was owned by North American Rockwell, designed and manufactured the F-1 Engines, not Boeing. Boeing later owned Rocketdyne, but not during the Apollo program. My dad worked as an Industrial Engineer at Rocketdyne from 1956 - 1984 as did many people where I grew up in the West San Fernando Valley. Rocketdyne would periodically test the F-1 engines in their Santa Susanna Mountains facility near Chatsworth in the Northwest San Fernando Valley and the noise it made was incredibly loud, even many miles away from the test site.
it's a shame that we waited so long that there's no one left that knows how to build those F1 engines anymore most of the technology of the Apollo program has been lost to time the people who worked on it have long since retired and expired we should have kept going after Apollo building bigger and more powerful rockets to go even further into space
At 31:30 - see below for a walking tour of the 22 foot diameter control section. *The Computer that Controlled the Saturn V* th-cam.com/video/6mMK6iSZsAs/w-d-xo.html
Any idea what the music is starting around 11:20? Tried to find it myself. It's not Kevin McLeod according to my search results and I didn't find anything useful on the other names listed in the credits at the end.
Well isn't that the wonder of the internet. I'm trying to find the same thing and can't find a Kevin MacLeod track that matches nor does it seem to be listed on imdb. Did you find out?
@@RustyITNerd Same ... one of the credits is wrong spelling. Should be Gari Biasillo but been through his stuff. Cleanest is probably at 39.35 but narration defeats Shazam etc
To spend thousands of years to let teckknowlegy get to a point where we had to go as fast as we could is to this day hillarious. I'm 64 and I watched in aw
Great film and soundtrack, except for the dreadful music, which is far too loud and distracting, and not even in keeping with the subject. Turn the music down by half, please.
But why is the thumbnail a Saturn I demonstration rocket? Also, at 1:14, the person says that the Saturn V is the most powerful ever built, but the Soviet N1 is truly the most powerful rocket ever flown (unsuccessfully). And after that, the Soviet Energia made it to orbit in the late 80s, becoming the second most powerful rocket ever flown and the most powerful rocket to take a payload to orbit. SLS Block 1 and Starship haven’t flown as of the time of me writing this comment, so they can’t be counted. It should say highest payload to orbit. At 16:44, “With the most powerful engines ever built”, the F1 is only the most powerful single chamber engine. The RD-170 engine (which powered the boosters of the Energia launch vehicle mentioned above) is the most powerful liquid fuelled engine ever flown. Those are the only factual errors I could find, and they’re pretty petty because most people don’t even know much about the Soviet program with the exception of Sputnik. Everything else is mostly, if not entirely spot on. Great documentary.
Don't you think an engine needs to successfully fly in order to be considered built? Lest half finished projects which are very common would now have unearned records?
The American "German rocket scientists" were better than the Russian "German rocket scientists." The Soviets couldn't make a large combustion chamber, so they made 4 smaller ones. steve
After 47:17 The horizon on the right is far too low for a natural landscape. This is only possible in a studio where we only see the illuminated floor and a black wall that is sold as outer space. Recommended reading: Apollo 11 - The Real Story
Why do we have to have music with videos like this? It is always distracting and makes it harder to hear the people talking. Remove the music all-together and that will allow everyone to focus on what the video is about and not the music.
The musical score for this documentary is well put together and assists in setting the tone and mood for the different events throughout the video. I suggest muting and turning on closed captioning. Merry Christmas
Everything has to be sensationalized, to the extreme In every documentary, that’s what they think people want, instead of facts and information, I only made it to 2:14, (an unlikely source, and 1940 London did it for me), pause dislike and moving on after this comment. Yes we got a lot of technical information and people from occupied Germany, but there weren’t any V-2s hitting London in 1940, so why start a doc about the Saturn rocket like that something so impressive it doesn’t need drama and bull ****. Get your clicks and spew your crap whoever made this but you should be embarrassed.
@kipling1957 Falcon 9 can be considered somewhat as a modern Saturn Ib, in terms of thrust and lifting capability, while Falcon Heavy, if in fully expendable configuration, is somewhere around a Saturn INT-21 in the configuration of the Skylab launch (but the lifting capability of that rocket wasn't fully exploited). SLS, in the current configuration, is a bit more powerful than Saturn V in therms of raw power, but slightly less in terms of payload capability. If will works, Superheavy/Starship will be more powerful than Saturn V and with more lift capability. With the bonus of be reusable. Well, sixty years have passed... This will not diminish the uniqueness and the majesty of the Saturn V.
1965 to 1968 we designed and buiilt the SVF1 platform from scratch. Built all 18 SVs and the S1. We may never match this accomplishment in my lifetime.
_Saturn_ V has been designed in 1960s, using 1960s technology, one that is not in production anymore. Advancing tech means you leave old methods behind. A few years ago a _Saturn_ V first stage engine (from the Smithsonian) was fully disassembled by a NASA team. Among the interesting findings, that engine was absolutely filled with exotic types of obsolete welding. Welding that only a handful of people knew how to do in 1960, and nobody on Earth’s done for over a generation. Every one of the thousands of turbine blades in the turbopumps were hand-positioned and hand-welded, taking hundreds of times as many man-hours as would be required for an equivalent engine designed today. It’s not just that we can’t do it that way anymore; we’d never choose to! The whole rocket is made from steel and aluminum. State-of-the-art stuff in 1960, but incredibly heavy and wasteful to build large rockets from today. A modern rocket’s fuel tanks aren’t just lighter, but dramatically lighter. The metals we use today in rocket engines are so superior the engines don’t even have to be cooled anymore. Watch video of a SpaceX launch; modern rocket engines retain their strength even glowing yellow-hot.
@@Jan_Strzelecki another doubt? Why NASA is developing SlS rocket?? which cost more than spacex starship and not reusable ?? And why they were using two rockets ,one for carry astronaut to the lunar orbit and another for moon landing , but they used single rocket in Apollo program?? Insted they could use starship for both because it more capable than SLS and reusable, and it reduces the cost ?? Clarify me🙋🤷🤷
@@sunilkonatham4482 _Why NASA is developing SlS rocket? which cost more than spacex starship and not reusable ?_ Because only the SLS rocket can actually reach the Moon at this point. Also, reusing parts of the rocket of this size and capabilities is not cost-effective. _And why they were using two rockets ,one for carry astronaut to the lunar orbit and another for moon landing , but they used single rocket in Apollo program?_ Because they're doing it in a different way. _Insted they could use starship for both_ Why? You have already explained why this wouldn't be cost-effective.
It would be totally unfeasible. Remake the Saturn V with current technology, materials, security standards, would have been no different than designing a totally new rocket. No advantage at all. Look at the SLS: superficially it is derived from the Shuttle, but is a totally different beast that required an enormous amount of developing and testing. And consider that at least it can use some existing SSME and RL-10 engine. In the case of the Saturn, The F-1 and J-2 engines are gone. The rocket would have cost even more than the SLS.
@@sunilkonatham4482 SLS cost so much for a plethora of political and bureaucratic, rather than technical, reasons. His development must also follow the strict procedures of the public administration. NASA cannot proceed for trial and error like SpaceX, blowing up rockets built with taxpayer's money on the ramp. Anything must work perfectly, and this takes time and money. Speaking of SpaceX, I tend not to blindly believe Elon Musk. Starship has yet to prove everything. In fact, Starship, in its final form, does not yet exist. SLS at least is ready to launch. And reusability is not profitable, if the flight ratio is not high enough. This decisive factor is still disputed, for a rocket that size. Starship simply may not have enough payloads to keep the flight ratio high enough to make reusability a real game changer. We'll see. Sure, it will take years for a human to fly on that rocket. Why two rockets for the new lunar architecture? Well, to doubling the payload. We don't want to go on the Moon, plant a flag and return, like in the '60. We want to stay. And one rocket is not sufficient.
I, as one, thought "Great" the navy is going to let us catch up with the Russians. Even though I was a big fan of Warner von Braun, I was hoping the navy could do it. To my agast....when the navy's rocket set back down on the launchpad I immediately thought of Warner Von Braun, but I didn't know if he had any kind of rocket avaliable??? Aside from reading a lot of sci-fi, I was into a lot of "speed of sound stuff" and reading whatever the military was doing about going faster. That's how I came across "Warner Von Braun" early in his career, even when he was still in Germany he wanted to send a Rocket to the moon. When he got the chance he certainly proved that he had the right stuff for sure. Michael said that. Bye for now my friends.
@@kipling1957 Hmmm, and that's interesting as it's what I expected. So it may surprise you to learn that I'm a passionate dog enthusiast - in addition to my space flight interest. And you may also be surprised to know that I revere Laika as a hero - because that is what she was. Without her flight - 4 years before Gagarin, Humanity would not have discovered that space travel was possie.at all. Belka and Strelka followed in Laika's path, and returned safely, but Laika was the pioneer. Her sacrifice led directly to the magnificent work achieved in this modern age, and she should be remembered as the single Most important. Space traveller there has ever been.
Easily gets a thumb down, just because it's at least about three years old, maybe more, easily found with a quick search, and yet uploaded as if it was new. BTW the original has obvious problems, but that's the lesser deficiency.
The fact that this film may be over three years old is totally irrelevant. Any sensible, informed commentary on the subject is very welcome, among the sea of inaccurate rubbish that floods TH-cam these days.
@@ronaldgarrison8478. OMG. All I'm saying is that as the Net is full with rubbish and inaccuracy, film like this is useful, even if it isn't recent. There isn't much new to tell, and for any youngsters or casual viewers, it is useful. We may know the subject well, but many today simply don''t. And insults? Really? I would've expected that from the likes of flat earthers and conspiracy idiots.
Saturn 5 isn't the most powerful rocket ever built, even at that time. The n1 moon rocket was much more powerful. The Saturn 5 was the most powerful rocket to successfully fly. But now the sls rocket is the most powerful rocket from nasa. The starship is way more powerful.
Getting out of Vietnam within the decade would've been a greater promise than putting a man on the moon. The acceleration of the space program made it unacceptably expensive for very little gain. Unmanned craft could've done the same, at a much lower price, within an acceptable timeframe. Getting to the moon was not going to win the Cold War, or any war for that matter. People tend to forget that their dollars paid for this, and future generations are now paying the never-ending interest via the forever increasing monumental national debt. Yes, everyone seems to forget that someone has to pay for these extremely expensive programs, and that virtually all of the funding comes from working class citizens, while corporations attached to the programs reap spectacular profits.
Are you a troll? The need for miniaturized computers for missiles and especially for the appollo program gave companies like Fairchild their necessary boost to get off the ground and to lay the fundamentals for the layered MOSFET technology. Without the space/weapons program, the very technology you are using to comment would either not exist or would be decades behind. The civilian market could only be reached because of the millions the military poured into this technology. That is just the computer part. The welding of the fuesliage needed to be so precise it need to be automised, leading to the technology used now in every automobile factory. And yes nowadays most of the profits go to cooperations, but in the 70's the wealth gap was way less devided. Without these programs, you would not have a car that is as safe and cheap as it is now, you would have way less things of computer automization. Anything with GPS not there, less communication equipment, healthcare equipment like MRI rely on AI algoritms which can only run on advanced Hardware. Oke that was enough, Goodbye dear stranger. Have a good one. It was fun.
I'm sorry, but this dramatization that the United States was shocked when Sputnik was launched only applies to the general population. The technical community within the US knew it was coming, which is why von Braun and General Medaris were begging WDC to 'let them fly'. As for the delay, there is much reason to believe that Eisenhower wanted the Russians to fly first. By "violating" our airspace they then could not deny our satellites overflying the Soviet Union. Up until then, the Russians had rejected every overture for Eisenhower's "Open Skies" policy. And while this video is making von Braun out to be a guru, they can't even mention that the second stage Wac Corporal was the brainchilc of Frank Molina and newly created Jet Propulsion Laboratory - WITHOUT the help of any Germans. Don't get me wrong, I admire von Braun. but there were American rocket experts coming along - another of note is Robert Truax.
Don't forget that von Braun was directly *inspired* by Dr. Robert H. Goddard ! 😉 . . . Wernher von Braun stated: " Don't you know about your own rocket pioneer ? Dr. Goddard was *ahead of us all* ! " " Goddard's rockets ... may have been rather crude by present-day standards, but they blazed the trail and incorporated many features used in our most modern rockets and space vehicles."
This marks the high point of the American Federal Government......we went downhill from this, to the marxist dystopia that is America today. Thanksgiving 2023
A highpoint of governmental cooperation, sure. But they still had their messed up ways. If you lived then, you would see waterfountains, bathrooms and restaurants which said "Whites Only." And people thought it was normal.
In 1959 there were no CNC "machines" One of my sisters was married to a guy who worked on the special effects for the filmm "2001" he pointed out that there were no computers used, it was all mechanical effects. Kubrick could not have faked the moon landings withh computers even had he wanted to do so, which he didn't. Oh, by the way, there was no Photoshop then either.
If you compare.the Saturn V ( V as 5 stages), to Starship, 2 (two) only stages, you see a gab between inspiration hipe, and serious design. Saturn V, barely had enough to reach the Moon, Starship is attempting to reach MARS 👀. The *Beast* barely can take, nor park the upper craft into exo orbit velocity, thus may require an added stage craft to avoid the gap of T-minus weather delay scrubbs of orbital abandonment life support risk. Stage 2 (like S20 example) barely can reach MARS, causing a very dangerous critical land on that planet, thrre is NO added mid stage for solar orbit cruise, like a nuclear vessel, THAT will be needed vers the full starship refuel round, waste of safety time risk.
Wow, it's amazing how you accomplished to show lack of any kind of logic, understanding, knowledge, physics nor hardware video's about. Some made-up crap, out of reality and common sense. Hilarious. Like some flat-earther arguments , stories, proofs and "research" about the Globe.
Your criticisms might be valid except for one fact: It was built without computers, CAD, CAM, any modern technique and almost everything was analog. Everything today came from the seeds provided by those early efforts, without them we would now be inventing it all over again. It was a mammoth effort that took millions of people to collect and assemble. It worked. 12 Saturn 5 rockets were launched, almost without flaw. We can no longer do such a huge effort. Times have changed.
The Starship is not configured to reach Mars by itself. It is intended to establish orbiting tanker-depots, at which Mars-bound Starships will dock and refuel. It will take a couple of tanker-Starships per Mars-bound Starship to do this. Thus, we can think of the orbiting depots as a 'third' stage, as it were; or even a fourth, since they must themselves be fueled by launched propellant tankers. The crewed Starships to Mars will _never_ return to Earth. They will land on Mars and stay there. Each Saturn/Apollo launched was a complete launch and return package in itself. Went to the Moon, landed a descender to the Moon, brought the ascent package up, brought back every astronaut safe and sound with nary a scratch. As of this writing, no starship has actually even reached orbit; The first _suborbital_ attempt is scheduled for this coming Monday. The first Saturn-V launch was an all-up package, and it succeeded to orbit _on the first try_ , an accomplishment that SpaceX has no intention of trying to replicate.
Not true at all. There were many, many American engineers that worked on the Saturn V and it wouldn't have been possible without their ingenuity and expertise. Start by familiarising yourself with Rocco Petrone.
@@yassassin6425 They were on the sidelines. Germans were the true first engineers . I know its kind of hard to accept. Many ,many devices that are used in the US are not US made. They have always used the brightest minds ( from other countries ) to advance their tech. Read .
So if this is all true......🤔.....why did they have a studio set up, which is now a widely known fact.....in case they didn't make it, so they could make it look like they did? I don't believe the earth is flat, but I call bs on this
"They," nor anyone else could've made it look like they made it. There are number of reasons for this, one big one being 1/6 gravity. Zero atmosphere conditions can be created in an Earth environment, but not 1/6 gravity. The closest we can come is 30 second intervals in a plane doing parabolic maneuvers. Even with today's video editing technology, a convincing fake of what we see in the Apollo footage could not be made - much less circa 1970. The only way to procure such footage is by flying to the Moon (or some other planetary body with 1/6 gravity/near zero atmosphere) and filming there. That's it. There is no other way. It's case closed; no other evidence is required.
The Apollo program included a large number of uncrewed test missions and 12 crewed missions: three Earth orbiting missions (Apollo 7, 9 and Apollo-Soyuz), two lunar orbiting missions (Apollo 8 and 10), a lunar swingby (Apollo 13), and six Moon landing missions (Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17). Two astronauts from each of these six missions walked on the Moon (Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin, Charles Conrad, Alan Bean, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, David Scott, James Irwin, John Young, Charles Duke, Gene Cernan, and Harrison Schmitt), the only humans to have set foot on another solar system body. Total funding for the Apollo program was approximately $20,443,600,000.
*_"Anyone who has investigated the matter clearly knows we didn't land on the moon."_* Allowing a series of crap conspiracy videos to tell you what to think about a subject that you have absolutely zero understanding of whatsoever is not "investigating the matter".
when are you going to come clean and tell the truth that you believe the earth is flat, gravity is faked and we all live under a gigantic plastic dome...
Credit President Kennedy with throwing down the gauntlet by setting a deadline for the goal of putting a man on the Moon. Nobody would take a contemporary president seriously regarding massive goals.
What a motor! Reminds me of the C-65 that Estes made. I wonder if Dr. Von Braun worked on those too. Werner Von Braun was not only a tremendous scientific genius but also an unceasing inspiration, and the face of NASA for all practical purposes throughout the 1960s. Probably nobody more important to the Nation's security or the end of the Cold War and obviously attaining the stupendous goal of the moon landings. We were blessed to have gotten him on our side. While we were in bed with Stalin and busy inventing napalm and perfecting the art of firebombing cities full of civilians in both theaters and inventing nuclear weapons to follow to burn people alive-- Wars and propaganda sweep over everything and the winners write the narrative. The better story is that the Saturn 5 and innumerable other historic technological and political breakthroughs became reality and ironically, largely due to Dr. Braun. Thanks to John F. Kennedy for putting it on the front burner and the can-do spirit that existed in those days.
I was a kid watching these missions and being enthralled. Now I'm 70 years old, and still am. What an achievement.
Wow
I'm right there with you at 70, Craig. We saw this from the start. And it still blows my mind!
I am so blessed to be alive and old enough to understand the missions and to experience the the awe and wonder of the moon landings. I never tire of watching any Apollo or Saturn V documentary.
We visited KSC in 2009 to watch STS-125 launch from Titusville, FL. Took the Cape Kennedy tour and I had tears in my eyes when I saw the Saturn V F-1 engines for the first time.
I'm going on 66 years old and am still a hard core space geek. What a glorious time to be alive.
I am with you. I am 71 and understood the importance of each mission. I am glad I lived during that time.
It's just incredible... The mighty Saturn V...
Yes Men did that A Decade Ago that's just Incredible.
My mom worked for one of the subcontractors who helped build the Apollo guidance computer. So she had a close connection to the moon landings!
Correction: The F-1 engines were manufactured by Rocketdyne, not Boeing.
The first stage, where those F-1 engines were mounted,
WAS built by Boeing.

I fulfilled my dream twice : First time in 2002 at KSC Florida
Second time 2017 at JSC Houston TX . How huge it was !
When I was 8 , I missed school to see the first Apollo ´s missions .
I was glued to the small black and white TV at home , wondering what I saw .
This strange and so powerful machine had captured my minds for ever .
I don’t believed the launch of Skylab in 1973 was is last flight .
It was so costly to developing this rocket to never launch again . It was ….
When we saw now how it cost to recreate this kind of rocket , with computer assist . It was unbelievable to think that Saturn was conceived with people using pen and paper and slide rules !!! And helped by bigs computers capable of made what a single lap top do today .
When I was older , I realized how incredibly , the humans can do something so wonderful to overpasses what it do so badly in this world.
When we want , we can …..

I'm proud to be a space geek, even a space nerd, in 1975 I got to see an Apollo launch live for the Apollo Soyuz handshake, as a 15 year old I had no option but to become a space nerd. 47 years later I still bore my friends about it. The absolutely visceral feeling was epic.
Dear Space Geek,
Make sure you do it. My uncle help design the escape tower for the command module. We went to the Johnson space flight center, the Smithsonian and the Kennedy Space flight center. To see the mighty Saturn rocket and those massive engines up close is a sight to behold. The Johnson Space Flight center is amazing. They actually had to tell me to leave because they were closing and I didn't want to go.
There's nothing wrong being a space geek. I'm a 64 year old geek also. Hopefully you'll get the chance to go. Safe travels...

Rocketdyne, which was owned by North American Rockwell, designed and manufactured the F-1 Engines, not Boeing.
Boeing later owned Rocketdyne, but not during the Apollo program.
My dad worked as an Industrial Engineer at Rocketdyne from 1956 - 1984 as did many people where I grew up in the West San Fernando Valley.
Rocketdyne would periodically test the F-1 engines in their Santa Susanna Mountains facility near Chatsworth in the Northwest San Fernando Valley and the noise it made was incredibly loud, even many miles away from the test site.
Does anybody know the music at 36 min.
The photo used in the title cover of the video is a SATURN 1 B
18:07 But weren't the F-1s made by Rocketdyne?
Yes, the manufacturers in that diagram are reversed: Rocketdyne for the engines and Boeing for the first stage.
it's a shame that we waited so long that there's no one left that knows how to build those F1 engines anymore most of the technology of the Apollo program has been lost to time the people who worked on it have long since retired and expired we should have kept going after Apollo building bigger and more powerful rockets to go even further into space

But why is the thumbnail a Saturn I demonstration rocket? Also, at 1:14, the person says that the Saturn V is the most powerful ever built, but the Soviet N1 is truly the most powerful rocket ever flown (unsuccessfully). And after that, the Soviet Energia made it to orbit in the late 80s, becoming the second most powerful rocket ever flown and the most powerful rocket to take a payload to orbit. SLS Block 1 and Starship haven’t flown as of the time of me writing this comment, so they can’t be counted. It should say highest payload to orbit. At 16:44, “With the most powerful engines ever built”, the F1 is only the most powerful single chamber engine. The RD-170 engine (which powered the boosters of the Energia launch vehicle mentioned above) is the most powerful liquid fuelled engine ever flown. Those are the only factual errors I could find, and they’re pretty petty because most people don’t even know much about the Soviet program with the exception of Sputnik. Everything else is mostly, if not entirely spot on. Great documentary.
Don't you think an engine needs to successfully fly in order to be considered built? Lest half finished projects which are very common would now have unearned records?
The American "German rocket scientists" were better
than the Russian "German rocket scientists."
The Soviets couldn't make a large combustion chamber,
so they made 4 smaller ones.

Why do we have to have music with videos like this? It is always distracting and makes it harder to hear the people talking. Remove the music all-together and that will allow everyone to focus on what the video is about and not the music.

Yes we got a lot of technical information and people from occupied Germany, but there weren’t any V-2s hitting London in 1940, so why start a doc about the Saturn rocket like that something so impressive it doesn’t need drama and bull ****.

Well I know some people who believe this was all faked. But they also believe the earth is flat and its held up by turtles all the way down.
How does this compare to current versions of SpaceX rockets? Just curious, if anyone knows.
@Bobb Grimley Thanks, and interesting angles. I was looking for numbers.
@kipling1957 Falcon 9 can be considered somewhat as a modern Saturn Ib, in terms of thrust and lifting capability, while Falcon Heavy, if in fully expendable configuration, is somewhere around a Saturn INT-21 in the configuration of the Skylab launch (but the lifting capability of that rocket wasn't fully exploited).
SLS, in the current configuration, is a bit more powerful than Saturn V in therms of raw power, but slightly less in terms of payload capability.
If will works, Superheavy/Starship will be more powerful than Saturn V and with more lift capability. With the bonus of be reusable. Well, sixty years have passed... This will not diminish the uniqueness and the majesty of the Saturn V.

Why NASA is not using now Saturn v rocket, instead they developing SLS for Artemis I don't understand 🤷🤷
_Saturn_ V has been designed in 1960s, using 1960s technology, one that is not in production anymore. Advancing tech means you leave old methods behind. A few years ago a _Saturn_ V first stage engine (from the Smithsonian) was fully disassembled by a NASA team. Among the interesting findings, that engine was absolutely filled with exotic types of obsolete welding. Welding that only a handful of people knew how to do in 1960, and nobody on Earth’s done for over a generation. Every one of the thousands of turbine blades in the turbopumps were hand-positioned and hand-welded, taking hundreds of times as many man-hours as would be required for an equivalent engine designed today. It’s not just that we can’t do it that way anymore; we’d never choose to!
The whole rocket is made from steel and aluminum. State-of-the-art stuff in 1960, but incredibly heavy and wasteful to build large rockets from today. A modern rocket’s fuel tanks aren’t just lighter, but dramatically lighter. The metals we use today in rocket engines are so superior the engines don’t even have to be cooled anymore. Watch video of a SpaceX launch; modern rocket engines retain their strength even glowing yellow-hot.

Why NASA is developing SlS rocket?? which cost more than spacex starship and not reusable ??
And why they were using two rockets ,one for carry astronaut to the lunar orbit and another for moon landing , but they used single rocket in Apollo program??
Insted they could use starship for both because it more capable than SLS and reusable, and it reduces the cost ??
Clarify me🙋🤷🤷
@@sunilkonatham4482 _Why NASA is developing SlS rocket? which cost more than spacex starship and not reusable ?_
Because only the SLS rocket can actually reach the Moon at this point.
Also, reusing parts of the rocket of this size and capabilities is not cost-effective.
_And why they were using two rockets ,one for carry astronaut to the lunar orbit and another for moon landing , but they used single rocket in Apollo program?_
Because they're doing it in a different way.
_Insted they could use starship for both_
Why? You have already explained why this wouldn't be cost-effective.
It would be totally unfeasible. Remake the Saturn V with current technology, materials, security standards, would have been no different than designing a totally new rocket. No advantage at all. Look at the SLS: superficially it is derived from the Shuttle, but is a totally different beast that required an enormous amount of developing and testing. And consider that at least it can use some existing SSME and RL-10 engine. In the case of the Saturn, The F-1 and J-2 engines are gone. The rocket would have cost even more than the SLS.
@@sunilkonatham4482 SLS cost so much for a plethora of political and bureaucratic, rather than technical, reasons. His development must also follow the strict procedures of the public administration. NASA cannot proceed for trial and error like SpaceX, blowing up rockets built with taxpayer's money on the ramp. Anything must work perfectly, and this takes time and money. Speaking of SpaceX, I tend not to blindly believe Elon Musk. Starship has yet to prove everything. In fact, Starship, in its final form, does not yet exist. SLS at least is ready to launch.
And reusability is not profitable, if the flight ratio is not high enough. This decisive factor is still disputed, for a rocket that size. Starship simply may not have enough payloads to keep the flight ratio high enough to make reusability a real game changer. We'll see. Sure, it will take years for a human to fly on that rocket.
Why two rockets for the new lunar architecture? Well, to doubling the payload. We don't want to go on the Moon, plant a flag and return, like in the '60. We want to stay. And one rocket is not sufficient.

Valid syllogism
Getting out of Vietnam within the decade would've been a greater promise than putting a man on the moon.
The acceleration of the space program made it unacceptably expensive for very little gain. Unmanned craft could've done the same, at a much lower price, within an acceptable timeframe.
Getting to the moon was not going to win the Cold War, or any war for that matter.
People tend to forget that their dollars paid for this, and future generations are now paying the never-ending interest via the forever increasing monumental national debt.
Yes, everyone seems to forget that someone has to pay for these extremely expensive programs, and that virtually all of the funding comes from working class citizens, while corporations attached to the programs reap spectacular profits.
Are you a troll? The need for miniaturized computers for missiles and especially for the appollo program gave companies like Fairchild their necessary boost to get off the ground and to lay the fundamentals for the layered MOSFET technology. Without the space/weapons program, the very technology you are using to comment would either not exist or would be decades behind. The civilian market could only be reached because of the millions the military poured into this technology. That is just the computer part. The welding of the fuesliage needed to be so precise it need to be automised, leading to the technology used now in every automobile factory. And yes nowadays most of the profits go to cooperations, but in the 70's the wealth gap was way less devided. Without these programs, you would not have a car that is as safe and cheap as it is now, you would have way less things of computer automization.

What? I agree. All this video is right, as in correct.
David Musser - It wasn't just "right". It was Magnificent.
I'm sorry, but this dramatization that the United States was shocked when Sputnik was launched only applies to the general population. The technical community within the US knew it was coming, which is why von Braun and General Medaris were begging WDC to 'let them fly'. As for the delay, there is much reason to believe that Eisenhower wanted the Russians to fly first. By "violating" our airspace they then could not deny our satellites overflying the Soviet Union. Up until then, the Russians had rejected every overture for Eisenhower's "Open Skies" policy. And while this video is making von Braun out to be a guru, they can't even mention that the second stage Wac Corporal was the brainchilc of Frank Molina and newly created Jet Propulsion Laboratory - WITHOUT the help of any Germans. Don't get me wrong, I admire von Braun. but there were American rocket experts coming along - another of note is Robert Truax.
Don't forget that von Braun was directly *inspired* by Dr. Robert H. Goddard ! 😉 . . .
Wernher von Braun stated:
" Don't you know about your own rocket pioneer ? Dr. Goddard was *ahead of us all* ! "
" Goddard's rockets ... may have been rather crude by present-day standards, but they blazed the trail and incorporated many features used in our most modern rockets and space vehicles."

Kubrick could not have faked the moon landings withh computers even had he wanted to do so, which he didn't. Oh, by the way, there was no Photoshop then either.
If you compare.the Saturn V ( V as 5 stages), to Starship, 2 (two) only stages, you see a gab between inspiration hipe, and serious design. Saturn V, barely had enough to reach the Moon, Starship is attempting to reach MARS 👀.
The *Beast* barely can take, nor park the upper craft into exo orbit velocity, thus may require an added stage craft to avoid the gap of T-minus weather delay scrubbs of orbital abandonment life support risk.
Stage 2 (like S20 example) barely can reach MARS, causing a very dangerous critical land on that planet, thrre is NO added mid stage for solar orbit cruise, like a nuclear vessel, THAT will be needed vers the full starship refuel round, waste of safety time risk.
Wow, it's amazing how you accomplished to show lack of any kind of logic, understanding, knowledge, physics nor hardware video's about. Some made-up crap, out of reality and common sense. Hilarious. Like some flat-earther arguments , stories, proofs and "research" about the Globe.
Your criticisms might be valid except for one fact: It was built without computers, CAD, CAM, any modern technique and almost everything was analog. Everything today came from the seeds provided by those early efforts, without them we would now be inventing it all over again. It was a mammoth effort that took millions of people to collect and assemble. It worked. 12 Saturn 5 rockets were launched, almost without flaw. We can no longer do such a huge effort. Times have changed.
The Starship is not configured to reach Mars by itself. It is intended to establish orbiting tanker-depots, at which Mars-bound Starships will dock and refuel. It will take a couple of tanker-Starships per Mars-bound Starship to do this.
Thus, we can think of the orbiting depots as a 'third' stage, as it were; or even a fourth, since they must themselves be fueled by launched propellant tankers.
The crewed Starships to Mars will _never_ return to Earth. They will land on Mars and stay there. Each Saturn/Apollo launched was a complete launch and return package in itself. Went to the Moon, landed a descender to the Moon, brought the ascent package up, brought back every astronaut safe and sound with nary a scratch.
As of this writing, no starship has actually even reached orbit; The first _suborbital_ attempt is scheduled for this coming Monday.
The first Saturn-V launch was an all-up package, and it succeeded to orbit _on the first try_ , an accomplishment that SpaceX has no intention of trying to replicate.

"They," nor anyone else could've made it look like they made it. There are number of reasons for this, one big one being 1/6 gravity. Zero atmosphere conditions can be created in an Earth environment, but not 1/6 gravity. The closest we can come is 30 second intervals in a plane doing parabolic maneuvers.
Even with today's video editing technology, a convincing fake of what we see in the Apollo footage could not be made - much less circa 1970. The only way to procure such footage is by flying to the Moon (or some other planetary body with 1/6 gravity/near zero atmosphere) and filming there. That's it. There is no other way. It's case closed; no other evidence is required.
Child brain.
Just a lot of bad information. Very poorly done.
You forgot about the Nazis
Wehner von Braun was a commission German officer who designed V2 rockets to fall on London.
Anyone who has investigated the matter clearly knows we didn't land on the moon.
The Apollo program included a large number of uncrewed test missions and 12 crewed missions: three Earth orbiting missions (Apollo 7, 9 and Apollo-Soyuz), two lunar orbiting missions (Apollo 8 and 10), a lunar swingby (Apollo 13), and six Moon landing missions (Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17). Two astronauts from each of these six missions walked on the Moon (Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin, Charles Conrad, Alan Bean, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, David Scott, James Irwin, John Young, Charles Duke, Gene Cernan, and Harrison Schmitt), the only humans to have set foot on another solar system body. Total funding for the Apollo program was approximately $20,443,600,000.

When are they going to come clean, and tell the truth, man have never set foot on the moon..
Thry did many times, and installed EASEP, multiple ALSEP installations and LLR.
when are you going to come clean and tell the truth that you believe the earth is flat, gravity is faked and we all live under a gigantic plastic dome...

Saturn V: the rocket that took mankind to hoaxville
The only hoaxes are you people. You pretend to be human.
Get back on the short school bus. This isn't your stop.

Credit President Kennedy with throwing down the gauntlet by setting a deadline for the goal of putting a man on the Moon. Nobody would take a contemporary president seriously regarding massive goals.
What a motor! Reminds me of the C-65 that Estes made. I wonder if Dr. Von Braun worked on those too. Werner Von Braun was not only a tremendous scientific genius but also an unceasing inspiration, and the face of NASA for all practical purposes throughout the 1960s. Probably nobody more important to the Nation's security or the end of the Cold War and obviously attaining the stupendous goal of the moon landings. We were blessed to have gotten him on our side. While we were in bed with Stalin and busy inventing napalm and perfecting the art of firebombing cities full of civilians in both theaters and inventing nuclear weapons to follow to burn people alive-- Wars and propaganda sweep over everything and the winners write the narrative. The better story is that the Saturn 5 and innumerable other historic technological and political breakthroughs became reality and ironically, largely due to Dr. Braun. Thanks to John F. Kennedy for putting it on the front burner and the can-do spirit that existed in those days.
