33.4 million ... ( 2 months ago by langkous)
33.4 million newtons, or 7.5 million pounds of thrust. Thrust (average, per engine, sea level liftoff): 1,553,200 lbf (6.909 MN). The F-1 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.
The pound-force or simply pound (abbreviations: lb, lbf, or lbf) is a unit of force.

@ davidrosenberry
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.

During their two and a half minutes of operation, the five F-1s propelled the Saturn V vehicle to a height of 68 km (42 miles) and a speed of 9,921 km/h (6,164 mph). The combined propellant flow rate of the five F-1s in the Saturn V was 3580 U.S. gallons (13552 liters) per second. The flow rate could empty a 30,000 U.S. gallon (113,562 liter) swimming pool in 8.5 seconds. Each F-1 engine has more thrust than all three space shuttle main engines combined.

Whats the deal with ... ( 2 months ago by povmcdov)
Whats the deal with the way that the exhaust doesnt become fully incandecent until several feet below the nozzle? Is this because most of the fuel/oxidiser burns outside the nozzle or is it a sheath of oxidiser that protects the inner surface of the nozzle hiding the glow in the center?
Sorry for all the ... ( 2 months ago by langkous)
Sorry for all the repeated information. When I tried to post it originally it would not show so I did it again. My apologies.

I'll be back in a bit, I'm going for a burn in my Saturn.

I was wondering ... ( 2 months ago by TreeLuvBurdpu)
I was wondering that same thing. It couild be something that is blocking the fire inside but it would have to be very opaque to keep that hot light in. It could be that the fuel doesn't compust yet. Or it could be that, since the lens is heavily filtered so it doesn't just show white the whole time, that area is not hot enough to shine through the filter. I am guessing that with the naked eye it would still be pretty brite. It's incandessing inside that cone but the camera is set for the plume.
It's the turbo-pump ... ( 2 months ago by tvarad)
It's the turbo-pump exhaust that you see which is a fuel-rich mixture (hence it's smoky nature) and which is directed around the lower periphery of the engine through the toroidal structure that wraps around it. It is at a lower temperature than the main exhaust thus providing cooling for the lower engine bell and re-ignites a little ways from the engine.

WOW this is too cool! They just don't make'em like that anymore.I would have loved to take a ride on one of those no matter how cramped it was.The power of one of those thing is phenominal Excellent video!
The exhaust flame ... ( 1 month ago by wadia581)
The exhaust flame was 300 meters long !! Almost 3 times the lenght of the Saturn intself!

Ahh..., someone has finally explained this in a way I get,thanks...It always looked like the fuel pumps were pushing the fuel out so rapidly ignition happened outside the engine bell.

The Battlestar Galactica music is a nice tough.
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.

I agree. What ever happened to that golden age?
I blame the press ... ( 4 weeks ago by saxonlight)
I blame the press or lack of coverage. The Space Shuttle gets little coverage on the major networks in the U.S. - Ask anyone out there the name of one person on the last shuttle flight, I bet 99% could not tell you. Or name one of the personel manning the ISS? Its shamefull the lack of coverage.

It's what happens when we let the busybody Nanny State take over.
"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.

iawtc. I'm hoping the new moon mission actually works out. I'll be crossing my fingers for 2014 and then 2020. :/
Its like carl sagan ... ( 2 weeks ago by rustygates)
Its like carl sagan said, ever since the last man-reached the moon landing in 1972, like a young todler learning to walk, we have rushed back out mother-earth. For all those years since, all we have gone to is low-earth orbit. But I have good hopes for the future, 2019 and 2020, a moon base, mars....but thats only less that one quadrillionth of the galaxy. Then there is a whole universe itself.... We're probally never going to get there in our existance.
American society ... ( 2 weeks ago by wsmith68)
American society degraded into sluts, rednecks and rapsters ruled by evil people who want the whole world to resemble China.
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.
The Saturn V was ... ( 2 weeks ago by samgod)
The Saturn V was not at all a hopped up V2. It was designed and built mostly in California by multiple contractors. While Von Braun was at the top, he wasn't down in the trenches with the actual engineers working on it.
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.

In that last clip, in real-time, you are watching 3,000+ tons (metric or English) moving. Fast.
The purpose? Learning.
Great Video, ... ( 1 day ago by snoberts)
Great Video, amazing footage.I believe the first Saturn 5 launch (Apollo 7?) holds the record for the loudest machine ever to operate. On subsequent launches the water dampening system was introduced to reduce the shock of the blast.
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.
