The pound-force or simply pound (abbreviations: lb, lbf, or lbf) is a unit of force.
The pound-force or simply pound(abbreviations: lb, lbf, or lbf) is a unit of force.
The pound-force is approximately equal to the gravitational force exerted on a mass of one avoirdupois pound (0.45359237 kg) on the surface of Earth.
One F-1 engine burned two short tons (1.8 t) of liquid oxygen (LOX) and one ton (0.9 t) of RP-1 (kerosene) each second generating over 1.5 million pounds-force (6.7 meganewtons) of thrust.

You know, i think the Apollo age was the highlight of humanity.Too bad it looks like we will just choke in our own garbage on this overpopulated Earth instead of focusing our recources on leaving the cradle. There was great potential once, but it's all squadered and now we will just die off right here.
"Tut, tut, that space is a nasty, dangerous place, you might get hurt, and you haven't even cleaned your room!"
There are a few of us out there, though ... once the current intellectual retrenchment passes, we'll get back to work.
Aerospace technology is monopolized by Boeing, EADS, Rockwell, NASA.
Werner Von Braun was the key to that program. He didn't let things like Hitler and Churchill disrupt his plans to explore space. The Sat V was just a hopped up V2. Who runs NASA now ?
People from Thiokol who get paid by the kg (or lb...lol)?
O'Neill and Sagan had great ideas--read them.
And Boeing, EADS, Rockwell, NASA (which isn't a company and sells no products), and Lockeed Martin/Northrop Grumman (which you left out) have no monopoly. It's just that small companies can't compete with Boeing's Launch Services and the Delta IV Heavy Lift rocket.
The purpose? Learning.
Nothing can ever diminish the supreme triumph of the Apollo program. I was too young to remember it so I look forward to the next wave of exploration.
