Saturn5! Part Three

[ditheringtandog]

@ditheringtandog As for the Russian efforts, If Korolev had lived, had N1 not blown up taking some of the command with it, maybe they would have made it.There certainly were volunteers for a one way suicide mission, happily they where turned down, probably because the world was watching...

Having a lot of fun and spending all your money isn't sustainable for very long. Sooner or later you have to get real and take care of the bills and think about your children and their children. That's why the era of the Saturn V is over.

[ditheringtandog]

@IASOU2005 mmmmmh, mankind has always wondered what was over the next hill, the more adventurous members had a look. As a result we have the pleasure of being able to sit at our computers talking from opposite sides of the world.

[IASOU2005]

@ditheringtandog Point taken :)

熱とパワーと聞こえない轟音、

物凄い絡繰と絶妙なタイミングで連携し確実に作動するマシン。。

とても美しい。

greats Saturn5

[raleighwoodtgirl]

You should have seen it in person. I did from 3.5 NM in the VIP stands.

[firehauck]

@raleighwoodtgirl I was there for AApollo 13 !! At the VIP area !!! I was 16 at the time !!! I've seen a Shuttle launch and it just didn't do it for me ! :) Jake

[LarS1963]

And this was done fourty years ago, by one nation!

Imagine what could be done today if we, the whole world, stopped spending all our money on bombs and guns and useless reality-shows!

Fabulous video!

[ditheringtandog]

@LarS1963

It was more of an international effort than it would seem at first sight

ie. German scientists and engineers (embarrassingly from the V2 project) British and (ex)Empire technicians and engineers from the then recently canceled Blue Streak etc Telecoms from around the world

Plus many others and not forgeting that big big push from the Russian side!

That whole generation was a generation of heroes for me, whether they actually went in to space or not...

[LarS1963]

@ditheringtandog You are right, of course.

When I say one nation, it was because this particular program was paid for by the USA, even if many nationalities worked on it.

But without people like Sergey Korolyov, Yuri Gargarin and Gherman Titov in the Soviet Union, who knows how long it would have taken for Mankind to even begin to travel into space? And with the ISS being kept alive by ROSCOSMOS, it is pretty hard to forget the Russian part, then as well as now.

[DocMEDICK]

This was our nation,s science project. Too bad Barrack of the jungle doesm't have the insight to do the samething and go to Mars. It would take 20 years at least thiat would create some jobs

[FantasticBob7000]

@LarS1963 A bunch of people would say why waste money on these amazing missions to the stars instead of spending it on sitcoms & reality shows.

[MikeSkanz]

@ditheringtandog dude i want at least ten part of that ! hehe ! so beautiful to watch great job man !!

[MightySaturn5]

...aside from the obvious power there is also incredible technology and creativity here, I'm kind of wondering if this country will ever have enough money and motivation to reach this level of near perfection again.

[jetfreak4]

The greatest rocket mankind has ever designed. 

[tm3rd]

Great compilation and setting to music! I liked Part 3 the best! Very stirring and moving! This should be required showing at all the locations where the Saturn V is displayed/preserved! We'll never see the likes of this again. Thanks for posting and sharing.

[TheSpiritof1969]

Notice how the rocket leans away from the launch tower almost immediately it is loose. Incredible precision.

[ChaoticAnswers]

That rocket had a lot of dandruff.

[Serpico261]

man thanks for this great vid....you have serious talent

[ftucyk]

@CraggyShorrock585

Dunno whether to be flattered or not, guess I'll be flattered, there are cheaper and easier ways to rip this audio, If anyone wants a copy of the orig wav, I'm sure something can be arranged.

@ditheringtandog

CraggyShorrock585 seems to have disapeared, offer still stands though and I'm still flattered!

[MightySaturn5]

this is one hell of a great compilation of Saturn V launches

[klenovsky1]

wow ! ... super !! .. I will come back soon!

[LLorenz100]

Out. Rageous.

I enjoy this piece a lot!

[airdaleva42]

Spactaciular video Many I have see before and some a new views.I never get bored watching the saturn liftoff. Well done sir.

[iloveairfrance]

My favorite statistics about Saturn V is 3000tons, 34 000 000N of thrust, 15tons of fuel burned per second, all the seismography centers in the USA could record the vibrations of the launch

:)

[iloveairfrance]

What are those white falling pieces from 0:38 to 0:44, please? I wonder what it is since I'm 2years old watching Apollo 13, the movie.

[ditheringtandog]

Hi @iloveairfrance

The white pieces you see falling are ice from the liquid oxygen and hydrogen tanks on the spacecraft.

Thanks for watching,

TanDog.

Hi, i'm from the Netherlands and this footage is incredible!!!, its 40 years ago

but its still very powerfull stuff to see.

They build those machines with almost only a ruler and a pencil!

Thank you very much for posting it!

[DonBringer]

it is a HUGE BADASS ROCKET

[bsod4u2]

Incredible footage ! The Saturn V is truly a monster among machines. The SPL must have been eardrum tearing even two miles from the launch pad at launch.

[MightySaturn5]

@bsod4u2 estimated @128 db from 3 miles away

[666xArly666]

wow!! Saturn V was a real monster...

[olympic007]

@ditheringtandog for the amount of money the american tax payer paid for this the footage should be free to americans anyway...

[SPLfish88]

Wonderful. Its amazing how something so big and so powerful can look that elegant.

[RCMan89]

Wow!!! From which DVDs are the launches?

[MightySaturn5]

Beautiful job on this dithering

[ditheringtandog]

Thanks for your positive comment, for information I will be updating parts 3 and 4 soon (found some gorgeous footage).

[NeumannAlfred]
