Something to Watch

Other than the stock market crashing, that is:

[Embedded video removed after several attempts to get the thing working correctly failed.]

Each of the five first-stage Saturn V engines produced 1.5 million pounds of thrust. The most powerful machine ever built by humans.

Assuming I can get the video to imbed correctly in Blogger.

Which, of course, I couldn't do, so just click here.

Some day, I'll figure out how this whole intertubes things works....

I totally just watched that video the other day. It's just so incredibly amazing! Beautiful even. I stood underneath one at the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL when we went down there. It just awe inspiring.

The Saturn V was truly amazing. Too bad we've forgotten how to build one. But it looks as if the Chinese are replaying the entire history of American space exploration in fast-forward. In a decade, we will see the Saturn V again with Chinese ideograms on the side.

There is no rule of the universe that says the first lunar colony will speak English.
