My Uncle worked on and help design the second stage of the Saturn V
He loved the work, but we know what happened in the end. A lot had to move on.
He said they could swing the Gimble or bell so fast, you could break the rocket in half. So instead, what you have is slower moving gimbles, thrust bells or what ever, that move slower, and are always constantly correcting.
We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
