Saturn V: The Most Powerful Rocket Humanity Has Ever Launched

It generated 7.5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff — more power than any machine humans have ever successfully launched, before or since. It stood 111 meters tall, taller than the Statue of Liberty including its pedestal. It was the vehicle sitting on top of the Crawler-Transporter we covered earlier in this series, carried at one mile per hour toward a launch pad it would leave in under three minutes flat. The Saturn V remains, over fifty years after its final flight, the most powerful rocket ever successfully launched into space. In this video, we go inside the Saturn V — the engineering race that built it, the physics of generating that much thrust without tearing itself apart, and why, despite everything that's been attempted since, nothing has matched it.
