Thanks for posting
An historic photo with the German genius standing proud
Me standing behind a Saturn 5 with 5 x F1 engines at the Kennedy Space Centre back in 2018 ( my wife and I spent 3 days at the KSC , part of Canada / US / Hawaii retirement holiday )
I said to myself how on earth did they get this monster off the ground ( in the mid 60’s too ) Saturn 5 test flights started in 66’ I think ?
It’s a mind boggling site standing next to one, I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life
Cheers

Sydney Powerhouse museum has (had?) one of the engines tucked away in a corner. Yeah, it's insane how big they are - standing under it was like standing under a church dome.
