The Saturn V

The upright Saturn V in Huntsville at the U.S. Rocket And Space Center. April 12, 2016.

@WHMP sixsixsix no shit. I thought they moved the real one. Thanks

[@cdpond]

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.

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.

[@yassassin6425]

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.

[@paulmoffat9306]

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?

[@maxi4251]

@@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.

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.

[@christopherwilliams4265]

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

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.

[@ckdigitaltheqof6th210]

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.

[@MarsFKA]

Interesting. I was at the KSC Visitor Complex a year ago, this week, and when I stood under the Shuttle External Tank and Solid Rocket Boosters that they have there, I finally realised just how big the Shuttle was. Then I went inside and saw Atlantis. The last time I saw that Shuttle Orbiter was as it disappeared into Earth's shadow above my house. It re-entered for the last time on the next orbit. PS: the Shuttle's main engines and boosters developed as much power as the Saturn's first stage.
