It was a bold concept to push the technological envelope of rocket propulsion in order to put massive payloads into Earth orbit. Few realized at the time that the F-1 would one day propel American astronauts to the Moon. In The Saturn V F-1 Engine, Anthony Young tells the amazing story of unbridled vision, bold engineering, explosive failures during testing, unrelenting persistence to find solutions, and ultimate success in launching the Saturn V with a 100 percent success rate. The bookcontains personal interviews with many Rocketdyne and NASA personnel involved in the engines design, development, testing and production; is lavishly illustrated with black-and-white and color photographs, many never previously published is the first complete history of the most powerful rocket engine ever built.The F-1 engine remains the high point in U.S. liquid rocket propulsion - it represents a period in American history when nothing was impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51824342073632,"sku":"NEW0387096299","price":73.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/6153cX2zPTL.jpg?v=1781210849","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-saturn-v-f-1-engine-powering-apollo-into-history-springer-praxis-books-0387096299","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
