The Saturn V really was the pinnacle of our rocketry achievement. That is why this is one of the coolest videos of all time.

I don't remember who said it but they said "The shuttle gets a little aggressive but the Saturn V kicked your ass".

I’ll follow up with a second wild guest - the relief value for the LOX tank failed leading to a rupture of the tank.

>>This one worked.

Yeah but, pointing that out is “offensive and unprofessional” among the L.I.F.E.R. herd in today’s PCU (Progressive Corporate Utopia).

Created by captured nazi scientists and solid American men in buzzcuts who liked cigarettes and scotch.

Quote from NASA: “Something went wrong with the launch”.

It’s all government money, contracted to Space X. Much like most of DoD.

Looks like NASA’s honeymoon with taxpayer-subsidized golden boy Elon Musk may be over.

Looks to me like the manned version of the Space-X Dragon capsule would have safely separated just before or during the Falcon’s breakup. That capability was scheduled to be tested in the Fall with a planned maximum Q separation, but the test will now probably be pushed back.

Amen to that. A failed morality.

It’s a perfect analogy for the country now, we are full of bs’ers who can’t accomplish concrete tasks. But we’re going at making people feel good.

Matter of fact it looked something inside the cargo fairing blowed up real good. —
