Moon Machines - The Saturn V Rocket

The Saturn V rocket was the launch vehicle that carried the Apollo spacecraft and its crew to the Moon during the Apollo missions. It was developed by NASA in the 1960s as part of the Apollo program, and it remains one of the largest and most powerful rockets ever built.

The Saturn V stood over 363 feet tall and had a diameter of 33 feet. It weighed over 6 million pounds at liftoff and was capable of generating over 7.6 million pounds of thrust. The rocket was powered by five Rocketdyne F-1 engines, which burned a mixture of liquid oxygen and kerosene to produce the massive amount of thrust needed to lift off from Earth.

The Saturn V was launched in three stages. The first stage, which contained the F-1 engines, was used to lift the rocket off the launch pad and accelerate it to a height of about 42 miles. Once the first stage was depleted, it was jettisoned and the second stage took over. The second stage used five J-2 engines to accelerate the rocket to a speed of over 15,000 miles per hour and a height of about 110 miles. Finally, the third stage, which contained a single J-2 engine, was used to place the Apollo spacecraft into orbit around the Moon.

The Saturn V rocket was a remarkable engineering achievement and a testament to the ingenuity of the scientists and engineers who designed it. It was a critical component of the Apollo program, and without it, NASA would not have been able to land humans on the Moon.

Beautifully done - Saturn V was something so special and stunning it gives me goosebumps when I see it. A+ Doc!

[izzad]

I cant believe i got to live through these guys' experiences through SpaceX. Thank you guys!

[kevinbaird]

The music that was composed for this documentary is fantastic! It's not something that I usually pay attention to, but in this case it just adds so much to the story.

Such a sensitive and intelligent wondrous documentary. Thank you.

[jannoort]

Deep respect for this rare breed of beautiful and brilliant people! Heroes!

[andrevaudrin]

every single episode of that truly wonderful series (interviews, music, editing, archives, etc.) are fascinating and so much instructive.
i understant that every man involved in the apollo missions must be proud and they deserve our admiration
thx for pubishing that series

This is simply one of (if not) the best documentaries I have ever watched. Truly epic in scale and realisation. I have deep adoration towards these engineers, wonderful people every one of them. One can still see the *same excitement* in their eyes what they had upon the launches.

Can’t believe this video doesn’t have more likes ❤

Fabulous story! From the eyes of the protagonists you can understand the great emotions lived.❤💪🏻💪🏻❤️

The 2nd stage devider was the biggest problem we had to solve. But we did it because engineers can solve everything. Great line.

[erickieffer]

Excellent documentary. Where is the one on the navigation computer?

[apollosaturn]

10:51 Well, that explains what happened to the Starship launch pad during it's first launch. Why didn't SpaceX used deflectors, especially with a vehicle almost twice as powerful as the Saturn V, is beyond me.

Watching these films I still find it hard to believe that some people believe this was faked. Far too many people from all walks of life were involved in this amazing project. How on earth could you make all these people cover up a hoax.

[Reserch.and.question.everthing]

Wow what a time back then ..a president says we will do this and we can do this and it gets done..

[hawkeye]

Can you imagine…. A vehicle that weighs as much as a WWII destroyer…. Goes from a standing start to 5000 mph in about 2 minutes…… designed by slide rules….
Only in America!!!! Im sooo proud of these guys. And we did it for the world to Not hiding a thing like the Soviets did.
