October 27th

Johnson Space Center - NASA

I attended the 60th Anniversary Open House at Johnson Space Center - NASA - on Saturday morning.
These are F-1 engines on a Saturn V rocket. Item #40 for the October Scavenger Hunt - Educational.

The F-1 is a gas-generator cycle rocket engine developed in the United States by Rocketdyne in the late 1950s and used in the Saturn V rocket
in the 1960s and early 1970s. Five F-1 engines were used in the S-IC first stage of each Saturn V, which served as the main launch vehicle of the Apollo program.

Cool shot of the business end of this huge rocket. The people give an idea of scale. "V"

I saw that before, in Cape Kennedy, Florida. Quite impressive, and to think they went to the moon and back with it ...

I knew what THAT was before even clucking on the thumbnail. Awesome piece of engineering, the old F-1.
