Fun filled fact... the chief engineer of this beast had no aerospace degree, just mech and industrial engineering degrees... from backwoods montana, right after ww2. Yet to hear his name in any of these space movies, but had multiple moonwalkers at his funeral
My FIL worked for nasa on the Saturn V project as an electrical engineer.
He gave me copies of the blueprints for a birthday gift one year. Pretty dope.
Also, he was in Huntsville when the Apollo 13 problems happened onboard and he was in their portion of the problem solving effort.
He’s fricking brilliant, but you have to pry the words out of him.

The stage was intended to be injected into a permanent heliocentric orbit in November 1969, but is now believed instead to have gone into an unstable high Earth orbit
Maybe that was the cleaning ladies who did all the differential equations at NASA Houston fricked those calculations up.
We probably won't see a movie about that.

Yea. I think Spirograph was created as overcompensation for not being able to draw a decent circle with etch a sketch

HAHAHAHA nice try g-man. the government has controlled the distribution of telescopes for more than 50 years and automatically insert the 'apollo debris overlay' anytime someone focuses too much on the moon. Don't try & take your telescope apart and look for it; the government spooks are way smarter than your baw arse.

How does that prove we went to the moon. All that proves is we launched a rocket into space. Also, no reasonable person believes we never sent anything to the moon, only that we never sent a manned mission. And if you want proof, try sitting in a microwave on high for a few hours wrapped in aluminum foil and see if it's possible.

Think we’re going to need a bigger level

The Saturn 5 was mainly designed by left over German Engineers from WW2.
The US brought them over here to develope the rocket engines that would eventually Power the Saturn 5.

But do you put the aluminum foil on your head first??

Exactly CAD703X.
I am amazed at the lengths that the government will go to in an effort to cover up the alleged moon landing. Even using the satellites and trying to poke holes in the Flat Earth conclusion.

I saw saw the trailer for that movie and was interested. Then I went down the google rabbit hole.
Basically everything depicted in the movie never happened. Oddly enough NASA was fairly progressive when it came to racial and gender politics. The mark of the quality of 50s and 60s NASA.
