Brayden CarlsonHOST
[laughs] Number four, Mean Machine, and this one is gonna get us in a lot of trouble.
Brayden CarlsonHOST
Number five, the Saturn V. Ooh.
Brayden CarlsonHOST
No.
ShaneHOST
Not one of us mentioned it.
16 MINS LATER
Brayden CarlsonHOST
Why? 'Cause you don't do the sci- 'Cause you got the skinny legs.
Brayden CarlsonHOST
Or space exploration things.
Brayden CarlsonHOST
You're like, "Oh, Saturn V, boop, that, dude." [laughs] "But the Mars Lander, I'm into it." [laughs] I don't know.
Brayden CarlsonHOST
It's just shaped nicely, you know what I mean? [laughs] Yeah.

"My feelings as a 27-year-old woman madly fallen in love, they're on that record," she says.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Also on the record is an audio essay that starts with sounds from volcanoes, thunder, and other such natural phenomena, and ends with more modern creations, such as the liftoff of the Saturn V rocket.
speaker_2NARRATOR
It's intended to chronologically tell the story of our civilization purely by sound.
speaker_2NARRATOR
The record also features greetings from 55 different languages, including the now famous line from Carl Sagan's own son, Nick.
Casey DreyerGUEST
There's this concept called a paradigm called the von Braun paradigm.
Casey DreyerGUEST
So, you know, Wernher von Braun, our rocket, German rocket scientist, ex-Nazi, who came to the United States and led the rocket development program in Alabama, helped build the Saturn V rocket that took astronauts to the moon.
Casey DreyerGUEST
His whole, you can go back to him in the 19, as a kid in the 1920s.
Casey DreyerGUEST
He was a sci-fi, he's kind of this Elon Musk era, like sci-fi fan guy.
Alex KerstenHOST
Oh, yeah
TaylorHOST
... and a real Saturn V rocket.
Alex KerstenHOST
Yeah.
TaylorHOST
Like, th- those are two things that just baffle my mind.
Ross CoulthartHOST
These are recorded in technical transcripts and some recently released NASA files.
Ross CoulthartHOST
Um, the common explanations, of course, are that it's sunlight coming off discarded Saturn V hardware, cosmic ray hits on astronauts' retinas, floating debris, and tracking lights.
Ross CoulthartHOST
Buzz Aldrin did describe a light that paced Apollo 11 and later said it was almost certainly one of those panels.
Ross CoulthartHOST
He explicitly rejected an alien interpretation and cited Carl Sagan's standard that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, which I think is a load of cobblers.
QuinnHOST
Yeah.
QuinnHOST
Like actual space, the V- uh, the Karman line is about, like, 60 miles, 100 kilometers.
QuinnHOST
Anyway, Albert 2, June 14th, 1949.
QuinnHOST
I want you to keep track of the years and dates here.
QuinnHOST
Albert 3, September 16th, 1949.
QuinnHOST
This brave monkeynaut had the distinction of the shortest flight of all.
QuinnHOST
Right away, his V2 left the pad much slower than it should have.
QuinnHOST
It didn't have nearly as much thrust, and it likely wouldn't have reached space.
Larry ChappellHOST
When you are aware that something, aware of something, you've heard of it.
Larry ChappellHOST
How many of you have heard of the Saturn V rocket? The Saturn V rocket.
Larry ChappellHOST
A few hands that are raised here.
Larry ChappellHOST
The Saturn V rocket up until Elon Musk's starship.
Larry ChappellHOST
This is the largest rocket ever made.
Larry ChappellHOST
It's an incredible engineering feat, this Saturn V rocket.
Larry ChappellHOST
And some of you have heard of it.
Larry ChappellHOST
We live in the Aerospace Valley.

The Salyut programme continued through the 1970s and early 80s, refining the fundamentals of resupply, crew rotation and long-duration living.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The United States launched Skylab in May of 1973, built from a converted upper stage of a Saturn V rocket.
speaker_0NARRATOR
It was damaged during launch, losing a micrometeoroid shield and one solar array, and the first crew had to install a sunshade to stop it overheating before it could be occupied at all.
speaker_0NARRATOR
It hosted three crews and demonstrated that people could work productively in orbit for months.
Fulcrum DjediGUEST
Um, NASA in Hebrew means to deceive, so not all is as it seems, even with the way, uh, that NASA was even started from Wernher von Braun, who was a, um, German engineer that was brought over with Proj- Project, um, Paperclip.
Fulcrum DjediGUEST
There was about 1,600 scientists, engineers, um, that built the, uh, Saturn V rocket and created NASA.
Fulcrum DjediGUEST
Which obviously, uh, means to deceive.
Fulcrum DjediGUEST
So there's been a, a multi-decade deception that's going on.
AndrewHOST
On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 lifted off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
AmyHOST
The Saturn V rocket carrying them was 363 feet tall.
AmyHOST
That's six stories taller than the Statue of Liberty.
CarolineHOST
And sitting on the very top of that enormous rocket were three people who were about to spend several days traveling to the moon.
