Steve Eves' Saturn V Launch

This never happened. It was staged by the CIA and NSA to undermine and Impress the Islamic world.

If you look at the angle of the shadow from the board in the foreground you'll see what I mean.

Also, I'm sure I noticed JFK mooning from a car window driving down the road in the background.

It's all a setup.

I was at the toledo expo when I saw that that was nice very impressive. and alot of fire power was under that

I don't understand why such a huge rocket was so under-propelled. Clearly, enormous effort went into this launch and it's a very impressive (at least size wise) craft. Why not go for a much higher launch?

i dont kno if u understand but the FAA has regulations on how high it can go and how much solid is needed to launch this. FAA has steped up on regulations of almost every thing because of the 9/11 incident. this rocket wasnt in and event so he had to go under regulations of FAA. if this were in an event and he could of loaded this rocket to were it can reach space almost. but understand that this was built in a garage lol . he is a good guy

I think you're thinking of the Apollo 1 disaster. 1) The rocket in that case was a Saturn 1; 2) the rocket itself didn't explode. What killed the crew was a fire in the command module during a dry-run rehearsal/training exercise. I believe the rocket they were scheduled to use did eventually fly.

AWesome launch AND recovery.

Fantastic! Very impressive and flawless! The trajectory and stability,....wow!

You know. like the real mini-jet replicas that fly, might it be possible to build a working 'real' replica of Apollo-Saturn with the intent of getting something actually on the moon? Mini F1 engines, real staging, modern computers for proper sequencing of events. Wouldn't have to bother with the lunar rendezvous stuff, just get something that looks like a LEM onto the moon's surface. All 1/10th scale. The ultimate achievement in backyard rocketry, and a few other amateur
categories.

Im only an amateur myself but that would seem to me entirely waaaay to complex!!! LOL good comment though!

1/10th scale jets can't carry fuel to fly the a/c ~2000 miles. Smaller scale stuff deals with different physics, often to its disadvantage.
