I have only seen the ones in Florida and Mississippi! They are unreal in size when standing next to it, especially the engines! The KSC Saturn Center is my fav part of the tour.

The most amazing fact about the Saturn V is that the vehicle represents technology approximately 60 years old. To think in the 20 years transpiring after WWII the world went from the V2 to the Saturn V and in the last 60 years only now is the world beginning to exceed the capabilities this vehicle achieved.

Yes, engineering at its finest! Goes show when people put their minds to something you can go to the moon. Just imagine if we set a goal like the moon today. Yeah we have our minds set on mars, yet its taken us forever now it seems even with several space programs said to go there. Apollo and the moon will always be known as one of our greatest accomplishments.

And only a little over 60 yrs since the Wright bros first flew... It occurs to me that humanity couldn't have gone to the moon any earlier as there were so many developments that had to come together. Rocketry obviously but also materials science, manufacturing capabilities, navigation and satellites, computing and integrated circuits, radar and lasers, the list goes on...

To me the most amazing thing is that we kinda fizzled out over the last 50 years.

This is an absolutely incredible machine. It is also weird to think about that when my great grandad was born in 1900 the Wright brother's first motorized flight was still 3 years away. And when he passed in 1972, it was 3 years after the first manned mission to the moon.

I would have loved to see (and hear) one of those launch!

Absolutely amazing Paul! It’s difficult to appreciate how huge this rocket is. Thanks for the tour! ♥️

Oh, wow Paul ! That brings back so many memories watching these missions during the 60's and 70's on my Mum's little Astor Black and White TV. The numbers for weights , fuel used, etc...are quite staggering in real terms !

Excellent tour of the Saturn V rocket. I recall building a store-bought plastic model of this as a kid in the early 70s. And now at 58yrs old the excitement is back waiting to see Musk's starship take flight.

As a kid in the 60's I went to the Kennedy Space Centre they had all kinds of rockets and capsules, a great thing to see in person! 🤗

Absolutely awesome, the various amounts of fuel involved is mind boggling

Now I can't wait to build my Lego Saturn V

Saturn 5 is only slightly taller than the N1 Russian moon rocket. But the N1 had higher thrust per stage Vs the Saturn 5. Sad they haven't got a Luna Lander in the area where it should be to give the empty area a purpose.

It's a shame they had to enclose it, due to the elements slowly deteriorating its condition. When I was a little kid all the rockets were in an open field. Having the comparison of the Saturn V to the other rockets in the field really made you understand the gargantuan size of the Saturn V. Now that it's enclosed, it still looks big, but without other rockets next to it for reference, it loses its impressive "size" a bit.

Thank you, Paul! In the 80s and 90s, I was very interested in the history of the development of space programs of the USSR and the USA. In my collection, in addition to books and stamps, there are articles from Soviet newspapers of the 60s and 70s about the flights of American spacecraft under the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs. Articles in the Soviet press of that time were always written kindly to all NASA programs. In the mid-90s, I wrote letters about my passion to John Glenn, John Young and Neil Armstrong, and to my delight they all personally replied to me. Your videos and comments are very interesting.

In my opinion, the moon landing was by far the greatest achievement and greatest engineering feat in the history of human kind. To get from a short 20 minute hop to a moon landing in just over 8 years is simply incredible. Just shows that no problem cannot be solved if you just throw billion of dollars at it.

Amazing

I grew up in the 60's and I wanted to be one of the "lucky guys" who got to ride in one of these things. So enthusiastic about the Saturn V was I at the time, I wrote to the director of the Apollo program in Huntsville Alabama, Dr. Werner Von Braun. I really had no idea of his association with the V1 rocket or Peenemünde or the "wunderwaffen" or "Die Glocke" and all the rest of it. Von Braun actually sent me a brochure and a letter which apparently he hand signed, thanking me for my interest in the rocket and encouraging me to get good grades in school etc. I took his advice and ended up as an aerospace engineer in my early 20's. But, I was 13 at the time I wrote to Von Braun and excited by the Saturn V. As I got older, I saw one of the actual command modules. I started asking stupid questions like "what happens if I have to go to the bathroom ... before the two week trip is over???" Now I look at that thing and realize that the Saturn V is one big bomb that could blow up a city if things go sideways and who is nuts enough to want to sit onto of that thing when it lights. Not me! I ain't gettin' in that thing even if it's empty! LOL! Anyway, great video!

You forgot that Kennedy Space Center has a Saturn V as with Marshall Space Center, there are 3 complete Saturn V's left, Apollo 18 is at Kennedy, Apollo 19 is at Marshall, and Apollo 20 is at Johnson, NASA was funded up to Apollo 20 but back in 1972 the program was funded until Apollo 17, Apollo 21's Saturn V (NASA and the DoD liked having spares around in case something broke) was used to launch Skylab, and the rest of the Apollo CSM's was used to fly to Skylab and the very last Apollo was used for the Apollo - Soyuz mission then it to flew to Skylab. My father worked on the Apollo program from 1967 to 1970 and he kept up with all of the events and happenings that NASA was doing for that program, he then went to Viking, Magellan then Galileo before he retired from the space race, I too was part of the space race but I only worked on Magellan & Galileo programs before I was laid off from the prime contractor because of Budget cuts from Congress.

Like I said my father worked for NASA during the first moon missions and he was totally into what he was doing and kept up on any fragments of information about that program, but in 1970 he left NASA to work for Martin Marietta (they offered better pay and upward mobility over the Federal Government back then) and he got on with the Viking Program soon afterwards

We have the blueprints but the people, build notes, companies are mostly gone.

Its not anymore, Spacex is now

Crazy thing is they took such a massive hiatus regarding the technology of rockets. This thing was made like 60 years ago… then they basically had a huge gap, and we then faded out public spending and research and entered the era of a private profit driven industry of space X… which yeah is just starting to some progression of technology. But to me, I still think it would of been better keeping it a public funded program and never taking a break, we’d probably be much further along. After all, space X uses loads of old nasa equipment and facilities that was basically given to them, it’s not as if they just started from ground zero and made a successful business. To me space exploration shouldn’t be a business. But we all have our opinions on politics. It is what it is. Me personally: a business can never put exploration and technology first if they have to put the business first. The main goal of a business is to profit maximize and cost minimize. That’s it. Bottom line. Especially in the capitalistic world of the U.S. so how can you really advance in the most effective way, if your main goal is profit. With space exploration having that many challenges, there’s too many opportunities for cutting corners and risk. It’s not like opening a pizza shop. Federal programs have flaws, but at least they always have the option of simply spending more if they “have to” by running more tax etc etc, so they don’t sacrifice results based on money. To me, money and balancing a checkbook shouldn’t be the priority of a space exploration group. Even nasa cheaped out at time with the wrong leaders in positions and people literally died because of it.
