What is the thrust power of a Saturn 5 rocket?

[RumpleTumbler]

Well?

[MacAllister]

That would be better suited to Story Research, actually...

[bluntforcetrauma]

In the 1 to 1.5 million thrust class.

[IceCreamEmpress]

Well?

African or European? ;)

[kellytijer]

Thrust 34.02 MN (7,648,000 lbf)

[Expanding Ink]

African or European? ;)

Hmm . . . It would have to be European. The African ones aren't migratory.

It's a trick question, the Saturn V (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_V) rocket was composed of various stages, each with its own engine or engine packs, that had different thrust ratings.

That was one of the famous "information" questions for those of you old enough to remember "information."

For those who aren't you used to be able to dial what is now "directory assistance" and they would say "information" when they answered the phone.

Those were the good ole days. :)

I can't imagine why they changed their greeting.

Darn, you beat me to it. :tongue

[davids]

depends on the bean count!

[benbradley]

Is it a fully laden Saturn V?

[RumpleTumbler]

It's whatever you want it to be Ben. We don't want more questions. We want answers dammit!

depends on the bean count

[Bufty]

Is it critical that you get this correct, Rumpy?

[RumpleTumbler]

lol....no I'm just being silly. When I posted the forum hadn't yet been defined. It said something like Have a question or something along those lines....no sub forum etc.

[Bufty]

I meant I was concerned about the rocket misfiring or toppling over onto your caravan!! These Saturn V's can be awkward blighters to get upright. :snoopy:

finally a touch of reasonable insaneyeity which again is entirely dependent on the bean count!!!!:flag:

First stage 7.5 million pounds from a cluster of 5 F-1 engines. Second stage 1.5 million pounds from a single F-1.

Sadly that was from memory, though I can't remember the third stage thrust.

Have you ever worked for the phone company?

[Dave.C.Robinson]

LOL, sadly the answer is yes.

I worked for AT&T and Cingular.

No clue, but I did just hear something rather relevant on some science show. By 2018 the US is planning to send another manned mission to the moon, which hasn't been done in decades. China also plans to do this, for the first time, by 2020. Maybe this time they'll find something interesting up there instead of just plain ol' rocks.

2020 is also the target date for man on mars mission...According to NASA

Oh, and did you know that three people have acquired mining rights on Mars?

I'm procrastinating again, darn....

Mars? Wow! That'll really be something.
ps A "tyop" sounds cute.
