Hello everybody!

This is my first post here, I've been sitting here mostly reading posts by Hoax believers and ripping out my hair in irritation.

My questions aren't really about the "hoax" so please let me now if i should post this elsewhere. However after reading a LOT of posts in this forum I know that there are a lot of people really knowledgeable about the Apollo program so I thought i'm bound to get a good answer.

Here they come and they are not the usual questions.

1. What was the sound level from the Saturn V when it took of.
Rumours say it was loud!!!

2. What was the temperature inside the F-1 engine chamber.

3. At sometime during the Apollo program, one of the launch pads was damaged when a Saturn V rocket took off. I think it was Apollo 11. Does anyone know what kind of damage? Was it caused by shockwaves? temperatures?

I will greatly appreciate any answers or inputs.

Thanks!
