Uhm... you could have went with many things, but the Saturn V could put roughly the same amount of payload in GTO as a Falcon heavy for the same amount of fuel. Where the Falcon shines is its cost as the Saturn V (understandably at the forefront of research) costs many times more for the same payload.
@@kirishima638 He's talking about the flame inside the SBRs, not about the exhaust plumes. There is no air pressure inside the boosters, you are correct about the exhaust though.
Errrr.... all the physics are wrong. Space Shuttles don't got from 0-100km/h in 1 second after the engines fire, if you ever watch a shuttle launch they don't move for the first couple of seconds because it has to turn thrust into forward inertia for millions of kilograms of weight. Then when he had engine separation the engines simply fell off the side like they were feathers caught in the wind, ignoring the fact they were providing all the thrust given to the shuttle and the shuttle only has inertia until the secondaries kick in. What really happens is the explosive bolts that hold them on blow and make the engines slowly peel away from the shuttle while moving at relatively the same speed and when the second stage kicks in the shuttle pulls away from the primary engines.
Just wait for Super Heavy. Three of its Raptor engines have about the same thrust as a single F-1. The first one will have 29, later ones will have 32. That's about twice as much thrust as the Saturn V.
@@christopherjuhasz4204 Of course you're right, but I guess Elopeous meant gas like Americans say gas short for gasoline, petrol and fuel in general. So, since the rocket engines are fueled by LOx and RP1 it is their "gas", figuratively speaking.

@@galactic-guy In my understanding adding height won't make it burn for longer, since it burns from the center outward and not from bottom to top What they'll do is make it produce more lift
I considered it as a rough representation of the last parts of the atmosperic gasses forming zephyrs in the vacuum. Basically, the air becomes vacuum, and the remaining gasses become the 'clouds'. That was my take, anyway :)
It’s one of the things sadly the shuttle program never gets enough credit... for all intents and purposes, the boosters and 3 integral mains lifted 135 tons (maximum) to LEO... there was no reason why another payload (other than a shuttle) couldn’t have been lifted in exactly the same way. Or even a refueling tank devised to launch into orbit in place of the shuttle. Then Dock, and have more than enough fuel for perhaps a mission to the moon? Certainly the 30 ton cargo bay could have held all types of lunar equipment. And with the abundance of fuel available, capable of a “braking” return orbit to earth.
Well no, this shows the massive INefficiency of a rocket based on a hydrogen sustainer engine. Look at the massive tanks the Shuttle and especially SLS have to carry nearly all the way to orbit. Results in massively excessive cost. It's like, maybe, the out and out worst way of getting to space.
I bet in 2050 we will still be using old good Soyuz. (If I wrote this in 1990 that it will happen in 2020, nobody would believe it.) Imagine instead that ecologist activists will finally calculate the CO2 mass needed to deliver 1kg to low orbit. I bet in 2050 there will be no manned missions to orbit (automation will progress, robots will be cheaper). I bet in 2050 Hollywood space movies will be even more stupid than today (I expect the plot to be like the self-pity thoughts of child trans-gender captain), so less people will be even interested in space. I bet in 2050 NASA budget will be further cut. I bet in 2050 USA will sanction China and Russia with "toughest sanctions ever" for doing space exploration as it "threatens American interests".
If your wondering why the fire from the engines gets wider as it gets higher it’s because there is less pressure from the atmosphere as it gets higher. Since there is less air keeping the fire in a line, it starts to fray outwards.
Amazingly well done! Loved that the fuel levels decreased, it was shown in real-time synced with actual audio, all separations were shown, and even the relative camera angle changed gradually throughout the whole animation!
Black Moon Knight the one on the far left. That specific one was using audio for Apollo 11 the launch that brought astraunauts to the the moon. Also their flight trajectories are completely different the creators just showing how fast they used up fuel. Also the on the far right I don’t think that ones been made yet since it’s the SLS that NASA intends to use to return to the moon.
In theory it's efficient and works very well, but that assumes there's no mechanical malfunctions in the system. And the more boosters you add onto asparagus staging, the more mechanically complex you get, to a point where it wouldn't be safe or reliable anymore due to the number of moving parts.
This does a good job of showing just how much less dense hydrogen (orange) is compared to Kerosene/RP1 (red). It's one of the major considerations when choosing a fuel for a rocket. Hydrogen has more energy per unit mass, but lower energy density (in terms of volume). This means larger tankage. Plus it's cryogenic and a pain in the ass to manage compared to kerosene.
@@christopherjuhasz4204 May seem like this at first View as their Manned Programm really isn't to much. However, they are BIG in the unmanned Exploration and Arianespace-from which the European Rockets are-are currently the second largest Commercial Launch Service and used to be Number one until SpaceX got their reusable Rockets going.
I agree! I would love to see how Starship with the currently planned 31 engine Super Heavy compares. An improvement would be to have some number stats alongside each. Us engineers love data.
This is art. It's not just the rockets that are "transparent", but we're also listening "through the walls" to the guys talking their way through it, as it happened.
@@burggerbig102 size of the tank is one thing, but the density causes the thrust to be much lower (otherwise you'd need combustion chamber with very large volume, in order to push out lots of mass), hence combining efficient hydrolox with inefficient solid boosters to compensate for this lack of thrust.
If you compare the Falcon Heavy to an Delta IV Heavy, which doesnt has those big SRBs, the burn times get closer (FH: 187s, Delta: 328). Still about double the burn time for HydroLox, but a much smaller ratio, than with the SRBs
So sick. I’ve always loved space. Born in 86. The early 90s had so many great things going on. Shuttle Missions, Hubble, Mars Rover, Voyager, Manned Mission to mars was being talked about often, the early plans for the ISS, Mir, just amazing!

People say hats off to engineers who managed to launch 4 rockets or to the camera man, but I say hats off to scientists and engineers who were able to create absolutely transparent, lightweight, and strong material that can withstand high loads during rocket launches. Also imagine how much dyer that had to use to make different gases and liquids visible to us.
"I say hats off to scientists and engineers who were able to create absolutely transparent, lightweight, and strong material that can withstand high loads during rocket launches." I think I saw something about that in the documentary "Star Trek 4". ;-)
@alxxpspqr well, actually the N-1 takes the title of power, the most powerful thing on the Saturn V was it's engine, the Rocketdyne F-1 engine is the most powerful rocket engine created, each unit produced 1.5M pounds of thrust, that means its first stage, with 5 of those units, delivered 7.5M pounds of thrust, but the N-1's first stage of 30 Kuznetsov NK-15 engines, each delivering 394K pounds of thrust, brings a total of 10.2M pounds of thrust.
To be fair, saturn was hailing huge payload to the moon. Space shuttle went only to the LEO and FH carried only a car. (its about 1/10 of the mass of the lunar module)
W0Ndr3y to be fair, FH has three launches, the fist beeing the roaster into interplanetary space, the second beeing the Arabsat 6A into GTO (geostationary transfer orbit) and it was 6465 kg, about 14000 lbs for the imperial folks. And the third were 6 USAF satellites + a bunch of cubesats (more or less 2000 kg). And of course recovering all three boosters on the last two launches.
@@W0Ndr3y Indeed. The LEM and CM weren't the only things the Saturn V hauled into orbit. It had to haul the S-IVB, loaded with fuel, up into orbit so that IT could send the rest to the moon. In a comparison like this, you have to consider everything above the S-IB as payload, and that's a lot of fuel weight. Skylab was only launched into LEO and it did so using just the S-IB and S-IVB. It's amazing how exponentially the size of a rocket grows the more weight you add to the payload.
And it is also interesting to see that with the exception of the quickly burnedout low velocity SpaceX vehicle, all other engines on both upper stage engines and booster engines for all three of the other vehicles were all Rocketdyne engines running on hydrogen
@@c.g.4392 Well, I think the Falcon heavy is accelerating faster than the others, and that is why it's engine was shut of earlier. The M-Vac engine is actually an extremely powerfull second stage engine, so It's not low velocity.
@@assarstromblad3280 There is no side by side comparison. The Saturn is launching for a trajectory to the moon meaning at the same height it needs to be going much faster. Dragon is going to Orbit, Saturn is going for the moon. As a result the relative burns are kinda irrelevant.
@@KevinRhoads Saturn V launched into a parking orbit and did the Moon transfer one orbit later. It actually launched into a _lower_ orbit than most rockets.
Could have shown the speed and distance/altitude coverd by each of them. Doesn't feel accurate like this. Other than that. That's some amazing piece of work u have shown.. Kudos
That would be a hell of a ride! Cool visualization! It's amazing how long the SLS engines are expected to fire. That's a lot of work for an old set of re-furbished rocket engines
Awesome depiction! ... I hung in there for every minute, and half expected to see a shuttle OMS burn ... very cool demonstration. Blessed to work for the 30 year shuttle program at KSC. Thanks!
@@benjaminmontenegro3423 SLS is complete failure, starship with falcon heavy with 33 raptors engine in first stage and 2 and 3 engines in starship is complete beast and with that quality and being reusable makes it the best choice I wonder when you have better option why they are investing on saturn v or other rockets. Starship will be launched successfully in a few days after hopefully they can accomplish their goals
The video is correct -- the vast majority of shuttle flights used "direct insertion" trajectories which omit the OMS-1 burn. "Standard insertion" trajectories were used early in the program due to uncertainty in SSME performance in flight conditions and later when the required destination orbit would result in the ET impacting over land.
You did a great job keeping the ratios of fuel to oxidizer in the tanks right. It looks odd for the fuel tank to be so small on the Saturn V first stage. But this is correct, as the first stage used RP-1, a type of kerosene and a much more energy dense fuel by volume than liquid hydrogen.
@LordGroyper Depends on the engine really. Some engines use ablative cooling for their nozzles and that's what you can see, because some of the nozzle's material gets mixed with the exhaust.
They expand cuz the air pressure outside gets lower relative to the exhaust pressure. That's another reason to use stages, since engine bells are designed with specific curve, which matches some pressure range. FYI, it's bad if exhaust expands to sides, since it is not contributing that energy to rocket's speed
Whad do you mean? It shows more like the difference between RP-1 and Hidrogen + really efficente engines. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And it would've been awesome if there was an indication where is the point when the wehicles in orbit. Because Falcon heavy was in orbit quite a while before the other crafts and still was going with them.
@@viktorb2688 I don't mean between craft. I mean between stages on each craft. The initial boost phases require tremendous thrust, but as they get toward the edge of the atmosphere, it turns into more of a sustained burn for delta-v
I'd never noticed the nose cone release of rockets before. Seems obvious in retrospect but interesting to see it animated, along with so many other little nice details in this video.
Really neat video of real time flight. A couple of suggestions: 1) It'd been nice to see the rockets turn over the earth as they reached altitude as real rockets don't go straight up, which kinda is implied by the really long cloud flight 2) KM flown for each rocket to show how much farther one over another flew.
@@thebeaniestbeanboys5735 if you accidentally tip to the side the exhaust fire thingy can reach up to like 50 meters or less is you saw the sks srb test idk i have no sense of distance
Great idea, but I would have added a grid (or several) in the background so that we could better understand velocities and altitudes (especially when there are no clouds
Why is this so satisfying to watch? Great work! It'd be great if you could colour the exhaust-plume to match the output mix. Just for aesthetic reasons.
It’s interesting to see the Space Shuttle and the SLS together. It really shows how similar they are and yet how different they are even though SLS is based on Space Shuttle in many ways
FYI: The Space Shuttle has 2 more engines located on the top back on both sides called "OMS Rocket Motors". The OMSR is used when the main engine is cutoff (a.k.a: when you detach the external fuel tank) thus makes the Space Shuttle's 3 main engines the Rockdyne RS-25 engines a deadweight throughout the whole mission.
Toboter XP...what’s remarkable is falcon heavy has twice the deployable payload as the shuttle ( since the shuttle itself is most of the payload). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_heavy-lift_launch_vehicle
Nice. I saw that too but just attributed to viewing angle. I figured it was being obscured by the left & center stage so I ignored it & didn't think to look for them later. I then saw a post stating they weren't there & a response stating they are visible when the fuel is nearly gone. I decided to check this claim. This not a factual claim. 02:40 Here is where they say it's visible Clearly the left & center have them but I don't see any legs on the right one.
@@travissmith2056 actually i see them too. They are not so big as those of the left and center boosters. They are reddish almost transparent smaller legs, but they are there. And I watched the video on mobile phone's screen.

I bet in 2050 there will be no manned missions to orbit (automation will progress, robots will be cheaper). I bet in 2050 Hollywood space movies will be even more stupid than today (I expect the plot to be like the self-pity thoughts of child trans-gender captain), so less people will be even interested in space. I bet in 2050 NASA budget will be further cut. I bet in 2050 USA will sanction China and Russia with "toughest sanctions ever" for doing space exploration as it "threatens American interests".
i bet spcex and nasa would be better than soyuz because of their recent achievements they would be more noticed than soyuz

If your wondering why the fire from the engines gets wider as it gets higher it’s because there is less pressure from the atmosphere as it gets higher. Since there is less air keeping the fire in a line, it starts to fray outwards.

Saturn V : "THIS ISNT EVEN MY FINAL FORM!"
All the Kerbal Space Program fans like - y'all need more asparagus staging.
Yeah, they do
The plumbing for that gets messy irl.
I did really think that asparagus staging was real... it sounded making sense to me.
@Zoldyk Nope, actually Elon Musk decided not to put it on the Falcon Heavy =/
In theory it's efficient and works very well, but that assumes there's no mechanical malfunctions in the system. And the more boosters you add onto asparagus staging, the more mechanically complex you get, to a point where it wouldn't be safe or reliable anymore due to the number of moving parts.
I really like how you added the detail of the underexpansion of the exhaust
Man, the SLS sure carries that heavy escape tower for a looong time before jettisoning it.
That's what I thought! Is that confirmed as part of their launch profile for the SLS?
Wonder how many of those Towers' are in the Ocean!?! Or Do They parachute and Retrieve Them !?!
Is it usable up until then?

I was curious about that too, especially after SRB separation
This does a good job of showing just how much less dense hydrogen (orange) is compared to Kerosene/RP1 (red). It's one of the major considerations when choosing a fuel for a rocket. Hydrogen has more energy per unit mass, but lower energy density (in terms of volume). This means larger tankage. Plus it's cryogenic and a pain in the ass to manage compared to kerosene.

Wow, that RP-1 sure goes quick compared to the HydroLox
Thats hydrolox's big advantage, much higher ISP
@@RandomCommentDue but takes a lot of space which requires a bigger tank
@@burggerbig102 size of the tank is one thing, but the density causes the thrust to be much lower (otherwise you'd need combustion chamber with very large volume, in order to push out lots of mass), hence combining efficient hydrolox with inefficient solid boosters to compensate for this lack of thrust.
If you compare the Falcon Heavy to an Delta IV Heavy, which doesnt has those big SRBs, the burn times get closer (FH: 187s, Delta: 328). Still about double the burn time for HydroLox, but a much smaller ratio, than with the SRBs
Lower thrust and bigger tanks (meaning more dead mass to drag along). There's a reason no one else is bothering with hydrolox anymore.
So sick. I’ve always loved space. Born in 86. The early 90s had so many great things going on.

The Saturn V was such a brutal, awe-inspiring muscle-rocket. Efficiency goes out the door in place of a bigger rocket motor. :)
@alxxpspqr Most Powerful yes, Fastest will be Juno probe, If you read into it you might not agree.
@@andrewfoot4610 Apollo is the fastest manned vehicle ever constructed, though, with Apollo 10 holding the record at just a hair under 40,000 km/h.
@alxxpspqr fastest doesn't really mean much in space. The Saturn V was definitely the most capable of putting massive amounts of stuff in orbit.
@alxxpspqr well, actually the N-1 takes the title of power, the most powerful thing on the Saturn V was it's engine, the Rocketdyne F-1 engine is the most powerful rocket engine created, each unit produced 1.5M pounds of thrust, that means its first stage, with 5 of those units, delivered 7.5M pounds of thrust, but the N-1's first stage of 30 Kuznetsov NK-15 engines, each delivering 394K pounds of thrust, brings a total of 10.2M pounds of thrust.
Steven Francis well if we get into technicalities, N1 never actually did anything besides blow up. In my eyes, it really wasn’t capable of anything.

Gotta get to the moon
To be fair, saturn was hailing huge payload to the moon. Space shuttle went only to the LEO and FH carried only a car. (its about 1/10 of the mass of the lunar module)
funny comment.
W0Ndr3y to be fair, FH has three launches, the fist beeing the roaster into interplanetary space, the second beeing the Arabsat 6A into GTO (geostationary transfer orbit) and it was 6465 kg, about 14000 lbs for the imperial folks. And the third were 6 USAF satellites + a bunch of cubesats (more or less 2000 kg). And of course recovering all three boosters on the last two launches.
@@W0Ndr3y Indeed. The LEM and CM weren't the only things the Saturn V hauled into orbit. It had to haul the S-IVB, loaded with fuel, up into orbit so that IT could send the rest to the moon. In a comparison like this, you have to consider everything above the S-IB as payload, and that's a lot of fuel weight.
Skylab was only launched into LEO and it did so using just the S-IB and S-IVB. It's amazing how exponentially the size of a rocket grows the more weight you add to the payload.
Man.. nasa back in the day really pulled a miracle. Saturn V is still amazing
This really shows off the fact that 90% of the rocket never leaves the atmosphere

Amazing that the Saturn 5 was many, many years ahead of its time.
And it is also interesting to see that with the exception of the quickly burnedout low velocity SpaceX vehicle, all other engines on both upper stage engines and booster engines for all three of the other vehicles were all Rocketdyne engines running on hydrogen
@@c.g.4392 Well, I think the Falcon heavy is accelerating faster than the others, and that is why it's engine was shut of earlier. The M-Vac engine is actually an extremely powerfull second stage engine, so It's not low velocity.
The Saturn V was an incredible rocket but each launching did cost 1 billion dollars.
@@assarstromblad3280 There is no side by side comparison. The Saturn is launching for a trajectory to the moon meaning at the same height it needs to be going much faster. Dragon is going to Orbit, Saturn is going for the moon. As a result the relative burns are kinda irrelevant.
@@KevinRhoads Saturn V launched into a parking orbit and did the Moon transfer one orbit later. It actually launched into a _lower_ orbit than most rockets.
Could have shown the speed and distance/altitude coverd by each of them. Doesn't feel accurate like this. Other than that. That's some amazing piece of work u have shown.. Kudos
Yeah, the falcon second stage just looks like it isn't doing anything, when in reality it just got there in a lot less time.
i thought this as well, adding speed and altitude would add a lot to the differences between the systems
Possibly if there's another overlay showing the location/speed it might help

@@Saeid415 aged like milk
@@obvious-troll lmao
Finally TH-cam algorithm is recommending sensible videos.
The fact that the shuttle didn’t do its OMS burn triggered me greatly
OMS was often not required to reach orbit though.
Alexander it would be preformed so that the ET could be dropped into the atmosphere.
I think the OMS burn happens later during the flight, when it's close enough from its apoapsis.
The video is correct -- the vast majority of shuttle flights used "direct insertion" trajectories which omit the OMS-1 burn. "Standard insertion" trajectories were used early in the program due to uncertainty in SSME performance in flight conditions and later when the required destination orbit would result in the ET impacting over land.
Nominal MECO, OMS1 not required.

Starneness? I don't know that word.
It's really beautiful!
The flawed aspect of the shuttle design was the prone/vulnerable lower position of the orbiter on the launch vehicle.
You did a great job keeping the ratios of fuel to oxidizer in the tanks right. It looks odd for the fuel tank to be so small on the Saturn V first stage. But this is correct, as the first stage used RP-1, a type of kerosene and a much more energy dense fuel by volume than liquid hydrogen.
I love how the rocket plumes(?) expands as they reach upper atmosphere
plumes is correct
I agree.
@LordGroyper Depends on the engine really. Some engines use ablative cooling for their nozzles and that's what you can see, because some of the nozzle's material gets mixed with the exhaust.
They expand cuz the air pressure outside gets lower relative to the exhaust pressure. That's another reason to use stages, since engine bells are designed with specific curve, which matches some pressure range. FYI, it's bad if exhaust expands to sides, since it is not contributing that energy to rocket's speed
@LordGroyper Well yes, but it isn't always invisible, that's what I was trying to say.
This really highlights how “getting up” and “going fast” have vastly different fuel burn characteristics.
Whad do you mean? It shows more like the difference between RP-1 and Hidrogen + really efficente engines.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And it would've been awesome if there was an indication where is the point when the wehicles in orbit. Because Falcon heavy was in orbit quite a while before the other crafts and still was going with them.
@@viktorb2688 I don't mean between craft. I mean between stages on each craft. The initial boost phases require tremendous thrust, but as they get toward the edge of the atmosphere, it turns into more of a sustained burn for delta-v

Really neat video of real time flight. A couple of suggestions:
1) It'd been nice to see the rockets turn over the earth as they reached altitude as real rockets don't go straight up, which kinda is implied by the really long cloud flight
2) KM flown for each rocket to show how much farther one over another flew.

When Starship flies, i hope you'll make an updated video. Absolutely exceptional animation.
I'll just put this here
No accident, No overtaking, no racing. Smooth and balanced. Nice😀
I never had my iPad vibrating that much. The sound makes my fingers tickle
FYI: The Space Shuttle has 2 more engines located on the top back on both sides called "OMS Rocket Motors".
The OMSR is used when the main engine is cutoff (a.k.a: when you detach the external fuel tank) thus makes the Space Shuttle's 3 main engines the Rockdyne RS-25 engines a deadweight throughout the whole mission.
The falcon is pretty much in orbit by the time it’s second engine is alight for 2 minutes
Urmom Connor yes, its a pretty frast rocket
Well it's payload is tiny compared to the others.
In real life, the Shuttle and the Falcon Varients take about 8 - 8.5 minutes to achieve orbit. The animation is just a bit simplified is all.
Toboter XP yes, I mean the space shuttle has to lift itself to orbit! And it is MASSIVE!
Toboter XP...what’s remarkable is falcon heavy has twice the deployable payload as the shuttle ( since the shuttle itself is most of the payload). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_heavy-lift_launch_vehicle

Look closely. When the fuel is nearly gone, you can see them.
