This ridiculously large vehicle being pushed up by 5 nozzles that first spew a dark band before giving you a prime vision of what Hell looks like on a *really* lively day. Yes, I know that dark band is made up of cooler gases, I know a fair bit about the physics behind these and later launches - but there's something about the Saturn V launches that still simply defies rational belief and logic. Absolutely phenomenal.

Still very difficult to conceive how humans built this enormous giant! I know how everything works on the Saturn V , the tanks, the pipes, the valves, the turbo fuel pumps, the exhaust chamber, the pre-burner, the gimble hydraulics, the accumulators , the fuel injector plate with it's baffle , the guidance computer, etc. But man, all those 3.000 parts must work on time and precise. Like Von Braun said once , "In rocketry there is no 99.9% successful operation, it must be 100% to be successful". And that monster of a rocket worked all the time every time! Damn, it is still incredible what we built back in the 60's. A 3000 ton 111meters tall rocket, with the most powerful engines ever built outputting almost 8.000.000 lbs/f of thrust, that produced a small earthquake and all that under control , and steerable! Crazy to think about it. It is the most amazing thing that we have built as in terms of a machine! Respect to the Saturn V and Wernher Von Braun who conceived the idea long time ago,, way before 1960's.

I grew up following the moon landing from Mercury to the landing in the 60s. When I was in junior high school, I built (from scratch) a five-foot tall Saturn V with moon lander and all from tin cans and cardboard. 1st and 2nd stages were made from coffee cans, so that set the scale. The LEM even had tiny folding legs to fit into the fairing on top of the third stage. I wish I had taken pictures. I also built a smaller Saturn V seated on the crawler with maintenance tower made of bamboo sticks I got from a roll-up window shade and cardboard.
