for years this saturn 5 was laying on its side in florida near the vab on display, you could crawl all over the thing, stick your hear in the f1 engines. touch it, really experiance it. i feel lucky to have gotten to be so up close to this bird.
The first time I was there, which was over thirty years ago, the Saturn V was laying on it's side for display. Trivia moment. Each of the three NASA facilities (Houston, Huntsville, Cape Kennedy) all has a Saturn V laying on it's side for display. Truly humbling when you see how large it is, and then fully appreciate the bravery of the crews who rode up over 300 feet of fuel to sit down in a cramped capsule and wait for the pipes to light. Phenomenal.

“Ten, Nine, Ignition sequence start, Six, Five, four, three, two, one, all engines running. Liftoff, We have liftoff! Thirty-Five minutes past the hour, liftoff on Apollo 11.”
Since this video was posted, the rocket has received a facelift, and is much cleaner. The finish really gleams in the sun. Also, inside the museum, is the true Saturn V rocket, with all the stages separated, so that the structure of each connection is visible. That one actually sat on the pad, and was test fired. The upright exhibit outside is a hollow mockup.
Rockets aren't measured in hp, rather pounds of thrust, newton seconds and specific impulse. Horsepower as a unit of measurement was used to compare internal combustion engines, and even then, no engineer would "measure" HP directly or in a meaningful way. They either want to capture torque and rotational velocity or force and linear velocity.
The liability insurance on that from someone falling 33 stories would be astronamical. (Not to mention that "Saturn V" is just a shell.) They have a complete Saturn V laid on its side next door where you can walk between the stages and get a closer look at all of the components.
Engines are large enough to stand upright inside and not touch any part of it - they are BIG. And during development, they were looking for areas to save weight - removing those 'fins', which are useless of a rocket that large, would have saved almost a TON. But hey, rockets gotta have fins! Right?
@@paulmoffat9306 The fin are indeed useless for controlling the rocket since they have no elevons. However during critical engine failure they keep the rocket stable to give the launch abort system enough time and the right position to safely carry the capsule away.
I went here a few years ago with my school to go to the space camp there, I remember being able to go into the hall next to the Saturn V at night with no one around, a truly amazing experience.
One flight that was fortunate not to be aborted during the initial stage of it's ascent was Apollo 12, as not once but twice the Saturn booster was struck by lightning, induced by the exhaust plume from the F-1 engines, and one unusual command read up to the crew was "Try SCE to Auxilliary" it worked and shortly there after, all their operating systems were restored, Phew a very close call indeed
@@goobynub96 if you were to hypothetically be strapped to the side, I’m pretty sure we would die due to a bunch of shit? I’m no space expert but I’m guessing… high speeds, leaving the atmosphere to no oxygen, I’m sure you would fall off too.
Saw this on my recent trip up there. They have a shuttle, mercury-atlas, the bottom half of a mercury-redstone, an a-12... All are recreations afaik except the A-12. Cant possibly miss the place if you go by!
Huntsville Alabama guys! I live here, they recently just got another one. It’s on display lying on its side with all the different stages separated so you can see inside
I filmed a movie there and had the opportunity to climb the ladder inside to get a shot from the top. The hatch on top is very heavy and I got the climb up through the Truss needle on top to rig a 7D camera on the end of a 12 foot pole. As soon as I got it into position a red tail hawk landed on the end of it and turned out they have a nest on top.
Its an amazing historical craft, when you compare it to the modern concept SpaceX "Starship" , it was also massive, most of its weight was at the bottom booster cones, giving it balance leverage, during those times, the Saturn V had no resource to inventions like a gyrosoptic gear, or a the complex drone navigation robotic controls, it would have made a great modern reconnaissance external, like the base and 2nd phase mounting to any final phase chamber. heading to a long range place like Mars or any Saturn Moons, with newly fossil power advantage.
I used to be able to see this from part of the schoolyard of my old Elem School.....Madison Pike Elementary on Bob Wallace ave,later renamed Louis J.Morris? (Longtime principal)
NASA actually had plans for a rocket so big, it needed to be launched from water because it would obliterate anything below it. It was called the Sea Dragon.
Fun fact: If you go to Florida in the Kennedy space centre you can see the apollo 11 on its side and it has it split into its stages so you can see the inside of the Apollo 11
I’ve seen this first hand and went to the camp there. In fact my profile pic was taken in a field right next to it. 10/10 recommend. Btw the rocket is a fake version, real one is inside
This the U.S. Space and Rocket center of Rocket city/ Huntsville, Alabama? Or the Marshall space flight center? I have free passes here and take my boys, but that landscaping would be new...
I knew a guy in high school named Matt Miller... interesting. I'm surprised you did not mention the standing one is fake but the real one is in the Davidson Center. I'd like to see the other 2 that exist at some point in my life.
This upright one outside is a reproduction. Inside the Davidson Center there is a real Saturn V, but it's made up of test stages, not intended to fly missions.
The Sat V is a beast for sure. Too bad this one is kept outside. The one at Kennedy Space Center is in a building, laid on it's side with all the stages apart.

you should its cool
It would be so cool if they added the service structure that way you can go up to the capsule at the top of it.

Basically it’s a shell. The Saturn at the Johnson Space Center is the only flight rated Saturn 5. If your ever in Houston I recommend go and see it.
The KSC Saturn display is possibly the most well done of the 3? Unless the JSC one has been updated recently?
No. This is a mock-up built on site in the mid 90s. It was never at KSC.
woow truly amazing.. one of my dreams to see this in real live!! 😜

I remember those engines being tested in Huntsville growing up. Man talk about noise and vibration!! Miss those days
Plot twist: the engines turn on while he's standing under it
vaporized in milliseconds!
This is why os love Huntsville
I remember seeing shuttle and being disapointed that it was way smaller than I thought.
I was researching this for a Minecraft build and now it's in my youtube recommendations.
Having it near those everyday objects like tables and planters really brings out its sheer size.
Yes, just imagine if they had this one actually on a launch pad.

This is 60 year old technology. I can only imagine what the new wave of even bigger rockets such as Starship and SLS are going to be like to witness
NASA actually had plans for a rocket so big, it needed to be launched from water because it would obliterate anything below it. It was called the Sea Dragon.
@@hithere5553 never got past the concept stage, like most cool projects in aerospace do because of funding. NASA needs more funding.
SLS is derived from shuttle hardware, so it's fifty year old technology.
Fun fact: If you go to Florida in the Kennedy space centre you can see the apollo 11 on its side and it has it split into its stages so you can see the inside of the Apollo 11
