The first stage used kerosene, second and third use Liquid Hydrogen
Ah, gotcha
All three need liquid oxygen as an oxidizer
@The Gwench that's exactly what you asked. You asked how much fuel. That's the answer.
I actually went full stupid and didn’t realize the second and third said oxygen and hydrogen.
770,000 liters of liquid kerosene
1,575,000 liters of liquid oxygen
1,250,000 liters of liquid hydrogen
Ah
I thought both said both, lmao
The tired is kicking in
I asked for the first moon landing
That's the answer Gwench
Sup dudes.
The first moon landing used a Saturn V rocket
How much does that fuel weigh?
👏
Did you read what Werner von braun wrote about moon rockets
2,725,600 kilograms, or about 2700 metric tons of fuel @The Gwench
What size tanks would that much fuel need?
One second
"It is commonly believed that man will fly directly from the earth to the moon, but to do this, we would require a vehicle of such gigantic proportions that it would prove an economic impossibility. It would have to develop sufficient speed to penetrate the atmosphere and overcome the earth’s gravity and, having traveled all the way to the moon, it must still have enough fuel to land safely and make the return trip to earth." Von Braun
@The Gwench
770,000 liters of liquid kerosene
1,575,000 liters of liquid oxygen
1,250,000 liters of liquid hydrogen
Liters is a measure of volume
So what
@gohan read citizens post
Why are you posting fantasy
I did @The Gwench
Z, you realize that the best Von Braun had to work with was ethanol, right?
“It is commonly believed that man will fly directly from the earth to the moon, but to do this, we would require a vehicle of such gigantic proportions that it would prove an economic impossibility. It would have to develop sufficient speed to penetrate the atmosphere and overcome the earth’s gravity and, having traveled all the way to the moon, it must still have enough fuel to land safely and make the return trip to earth. Furthermore, in order to give the expedition a margin of safety, we would not use one ship alone, but a minimum of three … each rocket ship would be taller than New York’s Empire State Building [almost ¼ mile high] and weigh about ten times the tonnage of the Queen Mary, or some 800,000 tons.”
— Wernher von Braun, the father of the Apollo space program, writing in Conquest of the Moon
The V-2 rocket, his crowning achievement, used ethanol and water as the primary components in its fuel
Take a lesson
You're also quoting the guy who sent the first man-made object into space
I find that ironic
Supposedly sent.
Look at his gravestone
Then why would you trust his quotes?
The dimensions of a Saturn V indicate it could hold roughly 8.7 million liters of internal components. Figure I would toss that into the conversation so Gwench could have an answer.
Psalm 19:1
**Psalm 19:1 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<1> The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. ```
If the V2 rocket never made it to space, why would you trust his quotes about space travel?
You are just beliving
