My arguments against the existance of the saturn v are as follows
1. it was the smokiest rocket ever even smokier than more powerful russian rockets which used the same fuel(the more powerful the more fuel burned the more smoke isn't that logical
2. the saturn had only five nozzles and russian rockets had over 30 because of extreme temps created by the fuel the bigger the nozzle the more likely it is to burn through
3. acoustic vibrations resulting in burn anomalies causes the thin metal walls to burn through makes rocket explode thus the saturn was just an light empty shell which was used to convince people a rocket did blast off even though it did not carry a spacecraft
4. the pogo effect was probably the reason the saturn had to be faked using smaller more proven rockets
5. the saturn rockets blew up on numerous occasions in the testing stage and as we learned with challenger sometimes rockets do not divulge their problems until it was to late
6. If the scientists and engineers as you say were confindent that the rocket would not blow up why were they hiding miles away from the launch site why not right next to the saturn
7. The saturn had hydrogen tamk leaks plague building the program because hudrogen was so untried and dangerous
8. all the apollo contractor reported problems making welds in metal so light like the saturn was made of
9. insulation was yet another grand problem
10. Problems with the contractors. Mainly North American, but also Boeing, Douglas, and Lockheed.
11. The Baron testimony
12. Walter Schirra article in Bill Kaysings book
13. Gus Grissom
14. Von Braun
AN EXPLANATION OF NUMBER SIX. WHAT I MEANT IS THAT IF THEY WERE WILLING TO PUT THREE GUYS IN UNTRIED MACHINERY WITH A BAD HISTORY AND THEY WERE CONFIDENT IT WOULD FLY AND NOT BLOW UP THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE HIDING MILES AWAY. BACK IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE AIR FORCE THEY HAD A POLICY THAT IF YOU BUILT AND DESIGNED SOMETHING YOU WOULD BE THE FIRST TO TEST IT NO MATTER HOW DANGEROUS. THEY DID NOT DO THAT.
By the way did anyone see the tonight show with Jay Leno? If you did not this is what he said "we are the only country in the world that thinks professional wrestling is real and the moon landings are fake."
