SaturnV,
Are you aware of how INCREDIBLY LOUD
a multi-million pound thrust rocket motor is?
The Saturn V and the Space Shuttle approach the theoretical maximum for SPL (i.e. 2 atm peaks - 0 atm troughs). Not only that but, it is bandwidth unlimited white noise (fractional Hz subsonics - high ultrasonics). These sound levels are lethal!!!
They could have worn ear plugs. Duh!!!
First, ear plugs would be useless at those sound levels. You would need more sophisticated ear protection.
Second, it's not just about sound levels. It's also about large, rapid pressure changes where any type of sound protection would have little effect.
