Today is the anniversary of the #Apollo11 Moon landing!
At Kennedy #Space Center’s Visitor Complex, it’s possible to visit the #Apollo / Saturn V Center, where a #SaturnV #rocket is on display, with its stages separated.
These are the 5 J-2 engines that powered the S-II stage that was the second stage on the Saturn V.
They burned liquid hydrogen (#LH2) and liquid oxygen (#LOX). This high-energy combination of propellants made it much easier for the United States to build a successful #Moon mission, whereas the Soviets were forced to stick with hypergolic fuels or kerosene, making lunar missions impractical.
