This week, on 16 July 1969, spaceship Apollo 11 started to the Moon, with 3 astronauts onboard: Neil Armstrong, Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin & Michael Collins. Two of them became first people, who made steps on the lunar surface. "This is small step for a man, but a giant leap for all mankind", - these words Neil Armstrong said 50 years ago! #NASA #Apollo11 #Space #ManOnMoon #NextGiantLeap #Аполлон11 #Космонавтика #ЧеловекНаЛуне (at NASA - Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Gwz1lFw5_/?igshid=tfneoo2dvbbc

Apollo 11, Saturn V Launch Vehicle Rollout

“One wonder to me was that no Saturn V Rocket ever blew up.” - Michael Collins, Apollo 11 Command Module pilot

In preparation for the Apollo 11 mission launch, the 363-foot-tall, 6,400 pound Saturn V Launch Vehicle is literally rolled out to the Launch Pad.  

Super chilled LOX and LH2 fuels powered the Saturn V.  The material was difficult to manufacture, store and transport.  But had an extremely efficient ratio of propellant weight to firing power.  

The fuel would cause all 30 stories of the missile to wheeze and groan like a living “monster”.  The cryogenic tanks caused dew to freeze on the rocket’s skin; falling like snow during launch.  

The Saturn V had 6 million parts.  A week before launch, a leak was discovered. The leak was traced to a manifold.  It would take four days to replace the manifold, canceling the launch date.  A tech carefully tightened a nut, fixing the problem.

The Saturn V was good to go for the Apollo 11 mission launch on July 16, 1969.

I used to wonder who took a bite out the sweep's hat, but then I notice the moon's guilty face. 🌛⭐️🎩 #SweepSaturday #ManOnMoon #Soundsational (6.18.16)

The Charles Duke family (c. 1970) still there on the Moon's Descartes Highlands, where their astronaut dad left the snapshot 43 years ago. (Why does this make me want to cry?) #whiteyonthemoon #apollo16 #uncannyvalley #nonfictionheroes #manonmoon (at The Motherf***ing Moon)
