The 212-foot rocket component operated ‘exactly as intended’ during around-the-moon launch
And NASA paid more for one of the four main engines than it does for an entire Falcon Heavy launch. Boeing to the rescue!
I helped build the Saturn V’s F1 main engines at Rocketdyne division of North American aviation 60 years ago. I can appreciate the complexity of what it takes to build a launch system this complicated.
There are thousands of people involved to make this work as designed.
Everyone sees the talking heads on TV but those who do the real Work are just as important in the final product.
I congratulate Everyone who made this a sucess.
Hey, at least it didn’t explode!
