I got to see the Saturn V rocket at the Johnson Space Center on Saturday. It is the most incredible piece technology i have ever seen. Luckily I was standing next to a guy whose father worked on the apollo space program; while the astronauts got all the glory. The pride of everyone involved is immense and should be celebrated.

Look up the documentary series "Moon Machines" - it does an amazing job of telling numerous stories of the engineering feats behind the Appllo project, with first-hand accounts and some pretty awesome B-roll from the archives
