Re: Some Apollo related questions
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?
The answers to the other two questions are correct. Yes, some damage occurred on the Apollo 11 launch, but it was minor -- broken pipes, etc. Mark Gray's excellent DVD series includes the inspection film shot after the launch. Nothing that can't have been easily fixed.
