made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate
that:
I just heard on a video that the each of the Saturn V's F-1 engines
burned 2 or 3 TONS of fuel per second. How do you even move fuel that
fast? Those fuel lines must have been huge.
They were.
If you ever get a chance to get to KSC or JSC and stand next to a Saturn
V... or even an F-1 (the first stage engine) you start to appreciate how
FRIGGING BIG the whole thing was.
It's really impressive.
