Default Saturn V Moon Rocket--50th anniversary of first launch

On November 9, 1967, NASA launched its first mighty Saturn V rocket on an unmanned test mission called Apollo 4, or AS-501. The 7.5 million pounds of thrust from the Saturn's first stage engines produced an enormous shock wave that threatened to collapse the press stand over 2 miles away from the launch pad at Cape Kennedy on top of Walter Cronkite and other reporters. The rocket performed perfectly and sent its Apollo spacecraft payload on an 8-hour flight in an extended orbit of Earth out to 8,000 miles before simulating a reentry at a lunar return speed and successfully splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. Another unmanned test flight, Apollo 6, was flown on April 4, 1968, which encountered a few problems, but ended successfully which cleared the way for the Saturn V's first manned flight of Apollo 8 all the way to lunar orbit and back in December 1968.

Thumbs down victory to slavery

Today, 50 years on the United States couldn't begin to build Saturn V ...it buys rocket engines for it's space programs from Russia.

The thing that burns me heer is the cheering of the crowd in the video celebrating the launch, one of the greatest achievements of white america while being totally oblivious to the fact that the "their" pols in Washington DC were busy completing the sale of them and their children into debt slavery to international finance in those last years of the 1960's.

Today, look around you at the future the tribe has planned for you back then.

As much as I laud what those White NASA guys in the 1960s accomplished, they did live in sort of a bubble the entire time as to what was going on in the country. They weren't the only Whites back then who were clueless about that of course, the Worst Generation (of which many of those NASA guys belonged to) comes to mind. Gene Kranz even mentioned that in his book Failure Is Not An Option, so focused they were on putting a man on the Moon. I actually lost a little respect for Kranz when I discovered he married a mestiza. His kids probably ended up with 10 IQ points less than his own.

I was just reading today parts of a book about "nazi" Von Braun and his team of V1/ 2 rocket engineers who worked here in the US & enabled the moon landings.

An irony not widely noticed by the kwan herd .

Imagine if von Braun and company could have built this: An even bigger Saturn rocket called Saturn C-8 which could have landed an Apollo spacecraft directly on the Moon without the need for a separate Lunar Module. It would have been powered by 8 F-1 first stage engines as opposed to Saturn V's 5 F-1s, giving it 11 million pounds of thrust at liftoff. The vehicle and a similar one called Nova were in early design stages in 1962 when NASA decided on Lunar Orbit Rendezvous mode over Direct Ascent and Saturn C-8/Nova was not needed. Too bad Apollo and all the hardware was scrapped by budget cuts in the early 1970s to pay for the Vietnam war, other jew wars and nigger welfare and breeding programs--we could have had Moon bases and landed men on Mars by now with that system. One can always think, "What if?"

To get an idea how well-built Saturn V was, on November 14, 1969, 30 seconds after Apollo 12 lifted off in a rainstorm to go the Moon, the rocket was struck twice by lightning, but kept on flying. All kinds of alarms in the spacecraft went off and the electrical system dropped out momentarily, but the astronauts got things going and the mission proceeded normally. If something like that happened today, they probably would have aborted the mission, but NASA and guys like Commander Pete Conrad, who was one of my favorite astronauts, were a little less risk-averse than today.
