The Saturn V Story - The Rocket that Flew Man to the Moon | History Documentary Watch 'The Moon Landing - World's Greatest Hoax?' here: https://youtu.be/DxW__ZtZApo With the accolade of flying 24 men to the Moon, the Saturn V will always be considered one of Mankind’s greatest technological achievements. This film reveals the colossal challenges NASA faced to make it fly. In 1961, when President Kennedy pledged to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade, no rocket existed with the power or capability to rise to the challenge. In order to win the race to space, the United States would need to establish a multi-billion dollar space program. One man, Werner Von Braun, believed he had the knowledge and vision to make Kennedy’s dream a reality. With the American public galvanised and the expertise of over 200,000 scientists and engineers, Von Braun masterminded the development of the Saturn V. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe to Free Documentary - History Channel for free: https://bit.ly/2FjRPgV Facebook: https://bit.ly/2QfRxbG Twitter: https://bit.ly/2QlwRiI ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #FreeDocumentary #Documentary #History #nasa #Saturn #moon ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary - History is dedicated to bringing high-quality documentaries to you on YouTube for free.

Too bad, not one mention of Grumman Aerospace and their construction of the Lunar Module. Was proud to work there in the 80's.
That Genesis 1 reading from Apollo 8 always gives me goosebumps
All the flat earth and moon landing conspiracy theorists out there: do you really believe that a "lie" from the 1950s would have held on until now, today? 70 years. Without anyone busting the myth and telling the truth? Yeah, also the ISS, China's achievements of the last decades and the Artemis missions are all made in Hollywood? NASA, ESA, Russia, China, Japan, India all telling the same lie simultaneously....? You're even too bad to be used as dogfood.
How? Simple. With Wernher Von Braun.
"This" was the US that the world admired, respected and even envied. Not the woke lunacy of nowadays... Hello from São Paulo, Brazil 🇧🇷.
I personally think that this was a beautiful piece of amazing technology. I wish I could have seen this in person 😢. It just looked and sounded amazing, I know it's not as powerful or as tall as the new Star Ship rockets, but Saturn 5 just looked the part, and it took our American friends to the Moon 🌙 and back - well done 👏 😊
On September 3, 2002, astronomer Bill Yeung discovered a suspected asteroid, which was given the discovery designation J002E3. It appeared to be in orbit around the Earth, and soon discovered from the spectral analysis to be covered in white titanium dioxide, which was a major constituent of the paint used on the Saturn V. Calculation of orbital parameters led to tentative identification as being the Apollo 12 S-IVB stage. Mission controllers had planned to send Apollo 12's S-IVB into solar orbit after separation from the Apollo spacecraft, but it is believed that engine burn lasted to long, and hence did not send it close enough to the Moon, so it remained in a barely stable orbit around the Earth and Moon. In 1971, through a series of gravitational perturbations, it is believed to have entered in a solar orbit and then returned into weekly captured Earth orbit 31 years later. It left Earth orbit again in June 2003.
This was a time an American history where we got the witness mankind at his finest
Спасибо за Историю! В личной библиотеке журнал ,,Америка"(на русском языке) о полёте ,,Аполлона-11". Хорошо помню полёт ,,Союз --Аполлон). Есть такое замечательное слово: сотрудничество!
41:33 — “The challenge was not only to get to the Moon, but to get back.” Yes, but another big challenge — one that few people appreciate — was _orbiting_ the Moon once you get there. That requires that you slow down into Lunar orbit, and then re-accelerate. That requires a great deal of fuel and engine weight, as well as exceptional timing precision.
No other engine ever produced had the earth shaking crackle and roar of the Saturn rocket, even today. 🇺🇸🙏
I grew up in Houston, visiting Johnson Space Center fairly frequently. Seeing those massive F1 engines as a little kid was unbelievable
Very thankful to have witnessed all of this ...
great documentary
The Mighty Saturn V and the incredible moon program is still breath taking today ✨️
I miss the days when NASA completely managed the space program..not others such as SpaceX etc. It was just so much better.
Why is the thumbnail AI when you have actual footage you could clip from? AI is sad 💯
I guess Von Braun was never tried as a war criminal, huh?
The story that will never grow old.
Von Braun was there to execute.
