Friday the 13th

Sorry for the lack of posts, got real busy this week.  Being born on friday the 13th, I look forward to these days.  Most people think its a bad luck day.  Not me, these are usually the best days of the year for me.  I will try to update the blog when I have a chance.

The Saturn Rockets, what was and what might have been

Almost everyone has heard of the Saturn V, the Rocket that sent men to the moon.  It was and still is the largest, most powerful booster ever flown.  Over forty years ago, the american space program was able to design, build, and fly this monster in less than a decade.   The Saturn V development, done at a time when much still needed to be learned about launch systems, took only 4 years to complete (Contract awarded in 1962, first flight in 1966.)
