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.
You borrow a little fuel and oxidizer (little in a relative
sense) . . . and use it to turn turbopumps to help push it down those
large fuel lines. Awesome machines when they are being well cared
for.
