PDF-(BOOK)-Apollo

In 1969 humankind set foot on the moon Neil Armstrong Edwin Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins carried the fire for all the world Backed by the brightest minds in engineering and science the three boarded a rocket and flew through the voidjust to know that we could In Apollo Matt Fitch Chris Baker and Mike Collins unpack the urban legends the gossip and the speculation to reveal a remarkable true story about life death dreams and the reality of humanitys greatest exploratory achievement.

It was as if the Wright Brothers had gone from building their original Wright Flyer in 1903 to developing a supersonic Concorde in 1913. Unimaginable yet in 10 short years the builders of Saturn progressed from the small, single-engine rockets like Redstone to the giant vehicle with clustered engines that put man on the moon. Our Earth-to-orbit weight-lifting capability grew in that decade by 10 thousand times. Saturn was an engineering masterpiece. The ultimate Saturn, taller than the Statue of Liberty, had a takeoff weight that exceeded that of 25 fully loaded jet airliners, and produced as much power as 85 Hoover Dams.We may not soon again face a challenge to match the lunar landing, and it may be some time before we mount the kind of scientific and engineering effort that gave us Saturn. Whenever that next challenge comes, we have in the Apollo-Saturn program the basic blueprint for achieving success. It not only will point the way but will also give the confidence needed to undertake new and dramatic challenges.Among the other lessons learned from the development of Saturn is the evidence of how much a free society can do and how far a dedicated people can go when they are properly challenged, led, motivated, and supported. This is our legacy from Saturn.This book is a technological history. The narrative approach was largely predicated on questions that might well be asked by future generations: How were the Saturns made? How did they work? The bulk of the text is devoted to the theme of technological development. For all the spectacular effects of the Saturn vehicle\'s awesome launch, most of the Saturn story deals with many years of unglamorous research, development, and test. It is a story of prior work: of nuts, bolts, and pyrotechnics-and that is the story told in these pages.535 pages. Over 150 photos and illustrations. Contents hyperlinked for easy navigation. Few launch vehicles are as iconic and distinctive as NASA\'s behemoth rocket, the Saturn V, and none left such a lasting impression on those who watched it ascend. Developed with the specific brief to send humans to the Moon, it pushed rocketry to new scales. Its greatest triumph is that it achieved its goal repeatedly with an enviable record of mission success. Haynes\' Saturn V Manual tells the story of this magnificent and hugely powerful machine. It explains how each of the vehicle\'s three stages worked Boeing\'s S-IC first stage with a power output as great as the UK\'s peak electricity consumption, North American Aviation\'s S-II troubled second stage, Douglas\'s workhorse S-IVB third stage with its instrument unit brain - as much a spacecraft as a rocket. From the decision to build it to the operation of its engines\' valves and pumps, this lavishly illustrated and deeply informative book offers a deeper appreciation of the amazing Saturn V.
