The marvellous rockets of Wernher Von Braun!
My mother taught me that rhyme with that extra first line. That, and a song about the Nazi high command not having enough balls.
If you have a chance to visit I recommend the museum in PeenemĆ¼nde, Germany. It taught me a lot about an engineer without a shred of a conscience. Dude wanted his rockets up, that was all.
Kennedy Space Center in Florida has the 1:1 of the Saturn V on its side much like this one inside a building with the stages broken apart. Itās pretty neat
don't forget to include that these were built by Chrysler Corporation Space Division in Huntsville AL
Chrysler missiles and boosters reportedly never suffered a failure. It was still the time when Chrysler led the world in quite a lot of engineering stuff.
No, they took it to Kubrick to fake, but heās such a perfectionist he insisted in shooting on location, so they launched a whole movie crew to the Moon and spent a month shooting the scenes on the lunar surface.
He said yeah, we didnāt keep going to the moon. Pretty simple stuff. Did you know you can shine a laser at the reflective panels on the moon yourself?
Just weird that we had the tech so long ago and dont have now b/c it was ādestroyed by Nasaā all of it is just so wierd
My pen lazer doesnt go the miles needed to reacb the moon, sorry i dont (and many dont) have that kind of lazer
The actuators that move these engines around for course correction during flight were powered by the same kerosene it used as fuel in leu of hydraulic fluid. A super impressive engineering feat to avoid added weight.
Touring the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL is totally worth it.
Yeah big explosions and sending shit into the sky is a perfect summarization of what it takes to put things into space and onto the moon. The high ranking Nazis notoriously had low iqs and thatās why operation paperclip happened because space flight is a low iq field and they couldnāt find that anywhere else in America
Are you referring to POW camps? Jewish expulsion? Like all the other instances of that throughout history not native to the third reich? I was more so referring to space flight though.
Ah, yes. Wernher. The chief Nazi rocket scientist, personally appointed by Adolf Hitler himself to create the Wunderwaffe.
Couple years later and he was one of the most applauded scientists, ensuring the USA would win the space race. His previous entanglement with the hierarch of evil all but forgotten.
The 20th century was crazy.
(If you don't know what I'm talking about, Google "operation paperclip")
Honestly, this is an incredible achievement from this evil person. One Americans celebrate heavily but most have no clue the people/person they hated most Nazis were behind this tech.
One hundred percent agree though, that man shouldn't have even been walking or standing there
Ackshuially those engines didn't even get us out of the atmosphere... Just did the heavy lifting off the pad and got them to around 2km/s(still 5 left to go for orbit). The upper stage(s) ran on hydrogen and were optimized for use in vacuum, they could also be restarted.
Technically, these engines only took the astronauts partway to orbit on their way to the moon. S-II stage got them the rest of the way to orbit and then the J-2 engine on the S-IVb stage took them to the moon.
Theoretically, yes. But first ask the soviets why this approach didnāt work (N1 rocket - the first stage alone had 30 engines). Much greater risk of failure, a mechanical problem on one of the engines could spell disaster for any rocket, but the fewer engines you have, you face a lower overall risk of failure. For the record, the N1 didnāt have a single successful flight.
Saying you believe the evidence proving the landings happened comes from the media is a passive admission you donāt understand the evidence. Furthermore, you say that like āevidenceā you believe isnāt media like a bunch of liars on YouTube.
Post whatever āevidenceā you believe proves the landings were faked. Your claim is an easily debunked lie.
No. Not because I can't but because i simply cannot be bothered. If experience has taught me anything it's taught me that it's pointless arguing about things on the internet with people who will never change their stance about something. I've never changed anyone's mind and nobody's ever changed mine and it's all just a fruitless experience all round. We can both do more important things with our valuable time.
What a passive/aggressive way of admitting you canāt back your bullshit.
You canāt because the evidence that proves the landings were faked doesnāt exist. Itās that simple. Donāt bother posting and opening yourself to embarrassment next time.
Not at all. I would have considered and analyzed whatever evidence you believed you had. You didnāt post any evidence. All you proved was that you make baseless claims and then do pseudo intellectual passive aggressive whining when someone calls you out.
But the difference you and me is that I don't need anyone to prove or disprove anything, I just believe what I believe. Also I'm not the one getting angry and insulting because one of us can't stand the other one having a different opinion on this matter. If you believe what you believe then I'm genuinely happy for you and I'm sure you're happy with it too. I'm certainly not trying to give out passive aggressive vibes.
More pseudo intellectual rambling š„±
The difference between you and me is I understand the difference between facts and opinions. Saying āthe moon landings didnāt happenā isnāt a belief or an opinion. Itās something that can either be verified with evidence or proven to be a fraud. Itās not a matter of belief or opinion.
Are you going to continue to waste time with more whiny rambling, or stand up and discuss evidence that you claim disproves the landings?
"Once the rockets go up who cares where they come down? That's not my department" Says Wernher Von Braun.
The marvellous rockets of Wernher Von Braun! My mother taught me that rhyme with that extra first line. That, and a song about the Nazi high command not having enough balls.
Hitler, has only got one ball Goring, has two but very small Himmler, has something similar And poor old Goebbels, has no balls at all
Hitler, he's only got one ball. The other, is in the Albert hall. His mother, the dirty bugger, chopped it off when he was six.
Six? Small!
I knew it was wrong, it was from memory!.. apologies.
That's a blast from the past, I'm now humming it.
That's it! What's the tune from? I never knew.
It's the Colonel Bogey March.
Thank you! It's been stuck in my head for a day now...
Same, since I wrote it. Gonna be whistling while I do house chores today!
š¶A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedienceš¶
Well previously they came down on London
"I aim for the stars, but keep hitting London."
Damn you London, stop getting in the way of mein rockets!
āSieg Heil!ā Also Werner Von Braun
If you have a chance to visit I recommend the museum in PeenemĆ¼nde, Germany. It taught me a lot about an engineer without a shred of a conscience. Dude wanted his rockets up, that was all.
What do you think about the conscience of people who employed and rewarded him?
the friend of my enemy is the friend..... I mean the enemy of my enemy is the....ah, fuck it
Kennedy Space Center in Florida has the 1:1 of the Saturn V on its side much like this one inside a building with the stages broken apart. Itās pretty neat
Huntsville AL (city where Von Braun lived) has one standing outside the museum and one inside in pieces.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This guy Saturns
Yeah I shouldnāt have said 1:1 and should have actual. Itās a sight to see for sure
don't forget to include that these were built by Chrysler Corporation Space Division in Huntsville AL Chrysler missiles and boosters reportedly never suffered a failure. It was still the time when Chrysler led the world in quite a lot of engineering stuff.
Took a similar pic of my wife in front of that engine bell. It used to be displayed outside, fully assembled. Would love to see it in stages.
You too can stand next to those same engines in Houston Space Center. The thing really is [absolutely huge.](https://imgur.com/a/mEcEmB9)
Oh shit I've been to that, pretty cool
I need an alarm clock this big.....
Nice suit, Hugo Boss?
Only the best
Did Germans from nazi era at nasa, communicated in German ??
It took the man to the moon
They stuck it to the man!
This is supposed to be the small step for (a) man?? it looks pretty big..
Allegedly
Yeah those retro reflectors put themselves there.
Conclusively.
Only in a hollywood basement
No, they took it to Kubrick to fake, but heās such a perfectionist he insisted in shooting on location, so they launched a whole movie crew to the Moon and spent a month shooting the scenes on the lunar surface.
I like the Bible verse written on his tombstone (wernher von braun)
And? Weird how you act like that means something while ignoring the mountains of evidence the six landings happened.
Sure is wierd, even more wierd is the buzz aldrins comments about all of it
Which comments are those?
https://youtu.be/pY0vRGFUYHE?si=LQeRQ3Jm5pZohkh_ Its just wierd Now, go on, tell me what he meant to say, instead of what he actually just said
He said yeah, we didnāt keep going to the moon. Pretty simple stuff. Did you know you can shine a laser at the reflective panels on the moon yourself?
Just weird that we had the tech so long ago and dont have now b/c it was ādestroyed by Nasaā all of it is just so wierd My pen lazer doesnt go the miles needed to reacb the moon, sorry i dont (and many dont) have that kind of lazer
The actuators that move these engines around for course correction during flight were powered by the same kerosene it used as fuel in leu of hydraulic fluid. A super impressive engineering feat to avoid added weight. Touring the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL is totally worth it.
But if you're out of fuel you can't steer!
I know youāre probably joking but this whole portion of the rocket would separate. It only needs to make first stage corrections I believe.
Oh for sure. There are a million details in these things that go over everyone head but the people in the room creating it.
Nazi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip For anyone who wants to read more.
[https://youtu.be/TjDEsGZLbio](https://youtu.be/TjDEsGZLbio) Classic song on Von Braun for anyone who wants to hear more.
Rockets though
Visionary and genius
Genius, sure. Visionary? Ehhh... Nazi? Definitely.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Of all the takes, this is definitely one of them.
Yeah big explosions and sending shit into the sky is a perfect summarization of what it takes to put things into space and onto the moon. The high ranking Nazis notoriously had low iqs and thatās why operation paperclip happened because space flight is a low iq field and they couldnāt find that anywhere else in America
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You just donāt see the vision so thereās no point in explaining it to you
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Are you referring to POW camps? Jewish expulsion? Like all the other instances of that throughout history not native to the third reich? I was more so referring to space flight though.
I, uhhh, wow.
Von Braun is a Nazi for sure but the space program is one of humanities greatest accomplishments.
I thought they were Saturn V rockets?
Engine is called F-1, whole rocket is called Saturn V5
Ah, thanks for the clarification.
It's not V5. It just V, as in Roman numeral 5. It's spelled "Saturn V" and pronounced "Saturn Five".
Ah, yes. Wernher. The chief Nazi rocket scientist, personally appointed by Adolf Hitler himself to create the Wunderwaffe. Couple years later and he was one of the most applauded scientists, ensuring the USA would win the space race. His previous entanglement with the hierarch of evil all but forgotten. The 20th century was crazy. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, Google "operation paperclip")
The evil did not die in 45, there were so many afterwards too.
I didn't know, Braun went to the moon. Maybe to visit his friend Adolf on the dark side.
For me this guys past will always shadow his great achievements
What's messed up is that he is there because of his past.
Honestly, this is an incredible achievement from this evil person. One Americans celebrate heavily but most have no clue the people/person they hated most Nazis were behind this tech. One hundred percent agree though, that man shouldn't have even been walking or standing there
It's kind of insane to try and comprehend how much thrust those 5 rocket engines put out. And now the Starship Booster puts out twice as much thrust!
Ackshuially those engines didn't even get us out of the atmosphere... Just did the heavy lifting off the pad and got them to around 2km/s(still 5 left to go for orbit). The upper stage(s) ran on hydrogen and were optimized for use in vacuum, they could also be restarted.
Fuckin nazi
https://youtu.be/UF5RhVBN54k?si=0WpI1sWm88ayT5fY Good video documentary on the man
He had plans to go to Mars. Then they realized how hard it would be. Very.
Alt title: von Braun stands next to his greatest creation
Dr Strangelove inspiration?
Now if only we had those on london
Fuck this Nazi.
Should have put one in his ear as soon as the moon landing was done.
Should've thrown him into the rocket blast
operation paperclip
Awww what a good little Nazi ^wait ^a ^minute .......
I know I donāt follow racing much, but youāre telling me the F1 cars are powered by these?! Fact Of The Day
Technically, these engines only took the astronauts partway to orbit on their way to the moon. S-II stage got them the rest of the way to orbit and then the J-2 engine on the S-IVb stage took them to the moon.
Check out what is written on his tombstone.
And? That doesnāt invalidate the conclusive proof the six landings happened. Are you also a flat earther?
Psalm 19:1
Yup, strange since it mentions the āfirmamentā. He also allegedly spoke on his deathbed of a fake alien invasion in the not too distant future.
Psalm 19:1
What about it?
Couldnāt they have done the same thing with 33 smaller engines?
Theoretically, yes. But first ask the soviets why this approach didnāt work (N1 rocket - the first stage alone had 30 engines). Much greater risk of failure, a mechanical problem on one of the engines could spell disaster for any rocket, but the fewer engines you have, you face a lower overall risk of failure. For the record, the N1 didnāt have a single successful flight.
Lies!!
Didn't happen
Isnāt it weird how, 50+ years later, no oneās ever been able to prove the six landings didnāt happen? Go touch grass.
"Proof" 'whatever the media tells me to believe '

You probably the earth is flat donāt you?
No. I just don't believe anyone got to the moon
Why?
I just don't.
So you reject established science and history just because of vibes? What a wild way to live life.
It's certainly interesting šš
Yeah have fun with David Icke I guess
I'll give him your love š„³
Took man to a hanger in the desert to film a moon landing... š
Nah
And you probably think the earth is flat.
Nazi. Michael Chabonās *Moonglow* has a great look at some historical fiction about said Nazi.
Van Braun went to the moon? That's news to me.
The man to the moon ...right
Yes?
Do you think the earth is flat too?
"Man" went to moon. But "the man" in the photo never went to the moon.
Go read your Bible
Hollywood basement
Cool way to announce you can only parrot what liars and scammers have told you to believe.
There's always an idiot nearby these days
