[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

If we can travel at very close to the speed of light then proper space exploration is possible.....but only for the people on the spaceship, because relative time will have almost stopped, whereas thousands of years will have passed back on earth.

Most powerful jet engine ever built, 134.000lbs thrust. Rocketdyne F1 1.500.000lbs thrust. Over 11 times more powerful,  and the Saturn five Assembly produced more power than the whole of Spain at blast off, and burned 13.4 tons of propellant per second. But still just a spark🤣

I had the Airfix model of the Saturn V, complete with lunar module at the top.

Did you make rocket noises as you lifted it into the air?

And to think that just one of the Rocketdyne F1 units of the Saturn five Assembly on the Apollo programme had 55.000 BHP fuel pumps to supply it!  They were incredibly powerful but not even like a candle in the realms of space.

We all knew Saturn 5 was a opps off big machine, but when I went to Kennedy and saw the one they have on display, it made the hairs on my neck stand up.  Enormous and epic.  Anyone going to that part of America with even the slightest interest is science or space, I'd recommend a full day there - get there when it opens, you'll be unlikely to see everything before closing.  Far better than any of the stupid gay parks in Orlando by a country mile.

They had a capsule that the crew touch down in the sea there as well. Piddly little thing

   Yes I’ve been there it’s such a shame what we can achieve yet still have wars. I think the most crazy thing is the tiny thing they had to get home in after all they started off in a 365ft tall vehicle

And it needed to be as 90% of the things weight was fuel🥴
