The REAL APOLLO
All about great Apollo people, their achievements, fun, superhuman deeds and most of all--GOING TO THE MOON!!! It took 400,000 AMERICANS 9 years to put our Astronauts on the moon!
This is the greatest achievement of mankind. Apollo was the first mission to leave Earth and land on another heavenly body. Like Columbus,there will never be a "first".
APOLLO The real deal about the Saturn V
This is a funny and light-hearted book about the life of one of the women engineers who worked on the Saturn V.
"Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Moon".
This book is in the Smithsonian Library and many other libraries. People in over 12 countries have bought this book. It is in paperback as well on Amazon Kindle, B & N
Book Nook, Google Books and more. The information contained in this book is being taught in Houston Community College
and in Arizona State University.

Sara, why did you post this video? The second guy is an idiot. You and I both know that the black exhaust was the exhaust from the turbopump. --Mark
ReplyDeleteWhich Mark are you? There must be a great debate going on somewhere because I received another email claiming it was the kerosene. It couldn't have been the LOX because that was our oxydizer.
ReplyDeleteWow, let's have a spitting contest between the turbopump and the kerosene as if anyone cares after 40+ years.
The second guy is indeed an idiot. The turbopump dumps it's exhaust into the wall of the engine bell and gives it the discoloration. If combustion instability wasn't solved why were they able to set off bombs inside the chambers to induce it and then watch the engine stabilize? I belive the fellow's name was Castenholtz who was assigned the monumental task of making it work.
ReplyDeleteWell, that is so cool. I didn't know that about our engines. Apollo was so vast that teams, crews, techs, etc. did not work on the same things. My team worked on the S-IC stages. We tested many things on the static firings. There were 900 points that we tested. We test fired the engines. If there was a problem, teams from Rocketdyne fixed it. We were not privy to the intracies of the F-1s. Did you know that when we tested the S-IC-6 for Apollo 11 that 2 F-1s burned up and had to be replaced?
ReplyDeleteI like your comment, though. I learn something new every day. Thanks.
