@MightySaturn5 The flames you see licking the covers on the hold down arms and tail service umbilicals are actually due to an ablative paint/coating burning off, carrying heat away to protect the structure underneath.
Wow that is a piece of art! The quality of the film from the Saturn 5 launches is gorgeous, does anybody know how they protected the cameras? I can see there seems to be a layer of (bombproof?) glass in front of the lens. The pad must have needed a few licks of paint before the next launch
musta been pounds?..saw that "million" figure somewhere..Guiness Book of World Records I believe..oh well..was a long time ago but still love the memories..
1,000,000 tons of propellant per minute to launch these suckers..liquid hydrogen and aluminum dust..wanna strap one to my motorcycle and light the fuse..1/4 mile time = one one gillionth of a second..LOL..
thought so too..but being a real "Apollo freak" I checked the wording..and they do say "1,000,000 tonnes"..the fuel by the way..was a combination of liquid hydrogen and aluminum dust..
According to NASA'a press release at the time (just to be really pedantic) the total fueled weight was 288,9763Kg (6,357,480 Lbs). Which is 3178 Tons (US).
You are incorrect. The S-1C (first stage) F-1 engines ran on highly refined kerosene and liquid oxygen. The S-II (second) and S-IVB (third) stage J-2 engines ran on liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.

The moon missions were faked in a studio. Here's a link to some of the evidence.

To make that insanely strong blast hood for the hold down arms to glow like that takes some serious temps.

A million tons/min seems a tad heavy, but it sure would make your motor bike go!
