Apollo's Historic Voyage: The Saturn V Rocket Story |Apollo Mission Documentaries

Used during the 1960s and 1970s, the Saturn V was the most powerful rocket that had been flown successfully in its time. Used to take mankind to the moon from Apollo mission 11 onwards, and to launch the Skylab space station into the Earth's Orbit. The Saturn V was a pivotal part of the Apollo Space Missions from Apollo 4 onwards.

I was a kid watching these missions and being enthralled. Now I'm 70 years old, and still am. What an achievement.

[johnvrabec]

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.

It's just incredible... The mighty Saturn V...

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!

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 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!

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...

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. 👌

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.

[WayneNiles]

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 ❤

[marksilver]

Correction: The F-1 engines were manufactured by Rocketdyne, not Boeing.

[sanjeevcast]

these are the memories of our lives to tell our children and grandchildren in the future.

[juliancrooks]

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

The Saturn V ; the most beautiful man made object in the entire history of mankind.

[steveskouson]

The Nova rocket wasn't built, because the Michoud facility
didn't have a high enough ceiling. The Saturn V was pushing
the limits.

[homerp.hendelbergenheinzel]

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 (:

[Deluca-Piano]

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.

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.

[pjngilt]

This guy von braun was born talented.. i appreciate
