Ya good find Bob.
Ron Howard Looks like a movie who's time has come. Those guys are not going to be with us much longer.
I still love to see old clips of the Saturn V launching.

I was firmly on the "it was fake" bandwagon untill I saw the vid of buzz aldrin knocking a guy out for calling it fake.
That made me reconsider

Of all the, well you know, the moon landings are the hardest ones for me to swallow as far as faking it. It would be a lot easier if it was done only once.
Capicorn 1 is an interesting movie. I saw that way before I even hear it was fake. I dunno man, I'm staying quiet on that one.

The biggest mistake NASA made was splicing movies and photo's together to make better looking images....

I maintained the systems in the Shuttle Avionics Integration Lab at Johnson Space Center in the '80s - we went to the moon. I have nothing but the highest respect for anyone who would sit in a capsule on top of a Saturn V rocket. They have a Mercury, Gemini, and Saturn V in front of JSC Those first 2 stages of the Saturn V are the hugest gas tanks you'll ever see. Also, you can't help but nervously laugh about how one of the Astronauts responded to the question, "What are you thinking about as you're sitting there during the countdown waiting to blast off?". The Astronaut's response was "Everything went to the lowest bidder.". Talk about Hoonus Maximus!

Diesel ( Kerosene )
The combined propellant flow rate of the five F-1s in the Saturn V was 3580 gallons per second.

Yes, you are correct; RP1 (highly refined kerosene) and oxygen in the lower stages. But the upper stages used cryogenic fuel that consisted of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen same as the space shuttle.
Sorry for the hijack, but did you see the video of the Ammonium Perchlorate plant in Nevada that went up? Ammonium Perchlorate is part of the fuel in the solid rocket boosters in the Space Shuttle. Once you light it, it goes until it's all gone. One of the explosions ruptured a 16 inch natural gas pipe line buried underground.
