Okay the take off not as momentous as the landing but quote Buzz Aldrin "When you are sitting on top of the most powerful rocket mankind has produced, built by the lowest bidder, it focuses your attention!"

Not as momentouos. The Saturn V is to this day the most powerful rocket ever to fly anywhere. It's launch must have been absolutely unspectacular.

With the distance you have to sit/stand with the mark 1 eyeball it looks a bit unimpressive.

Tell the russians who flew directly to the moon without a capsule when this thing[^] blew up with the force of a small nuke. At least this rocket looked really good.

Well they had just lost the 'Chief Designer' and went for the easier smaller is better approach with the motors... I wonder if that blast is still the largest non-nuke in history...

Certainly not when you count in some larger or smaller asteroid impacts. Only recently I heard of one that exploded over South America with the equivalent of a few kilotons.

I think that quote was from Alan Shepard - the first American to travel into space.

You are right, I am sorry! His actual quote was: Quote: It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract.

Actually, there's a town here in Texas called Erath. Everything I do is Texas-oriented by default.

Don't do that. It makes me hungry[^]. What better place than Texas to be oriented to when you want a good steak?

I'm assuming that it's produce named after its place of origin (which has rather sent my brain into a ferocious cheese frenzy).
