All I know if that I would have loved to have seen a Saturn V launch. My old man remembers when they tested all five engines at once at Stennis. You could hear them and they would rattle the windows all the way to Abita Springs.

They used to test out the engines at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, and they relocated the testing to Stennis because they were blowing out windows in people’s homes as far out as Decatur.
Dude saying the Sat V is an empty shell is dumb enough to give me Ebola.

One of my earliest memories was seeing the Apollo 17 launch just past midnight in person. I was four but it made a big impression.

My dad worked for NASA at Stennis in 1969. I was 6 and he took me to watch them test fire the engines. The loud roar, massive fire and smoke, and the ground shaking like it was an earthquake. That rocket engine was powerful angry and I remember it like it was yesterday.
