With the engine from the Saturn V that took Neil Armstrong to the moon now recovered by Jeff Bezos, I note that NASA engineers are getting interested in the technology of liquid fuelled rockets again. So much so, that they have got one out of storage and started stripping it apart....

A fascinating article on it is at http://arstechnica.com/science/2013/...-back-to-life/

Good find mate.
I am still amazed that three people could spend a week in a can the size of a Ford Fiesta stuck on the end of a giant fire work and get to the moon and back.

I'm amazed that there are still people that think they did.

I had a close look at those rockets on the Saturn V when we had a miilitary tour of Cape Canaveral. Really impressive-they are pretty big too.

Have you any credible proof that they didn't?

CrisPDuk

That's the thing conspiracy theorists, they don't require credible proof of the conspiracy, only of the original incident

Until I have genuine answers to these two questions; If they didn't go, how did the KGB not find out about it? and if the KGB did find out, why didn't they blow the whistle?, I will continue to believe that they did

Guys, this thread is about the interesting article I linked, not about conspiracy theories. Has anyone read the article?

Good read.

cster

Yes.

CrisPDuk

I most certainly did read it, and then I also read several of the other articles on the other links, a most facinating way to make a whole evening disappear, thank you

Nice one, they have some good articles on there. Interesting that basically taking the same engine, and using modern techniques, they have taken the parts from over 5000 to just 40, how cool is that?
