Talk:Saturn V

message: Shouldn't we highlight the fact that, though Boeing was chosen as the manufacturer of the S-IC, MSFC chose to build the first stage test articles and the first two flight stages itself, and that the flight stages after this were built by Boeing? (This is verified by the color coding in the recently added diagram.) I'm not quite sure where the best place is to insert this. What say you all? JustinTime55 (talk) 13:35, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  First stage manufacture 

message: The text says:
 For the first two uncrewed launches, eight solid-fuel ullage motors ignited for four seconds to accelerate the S-II stage, followed by the ignition of the five J-2 engines. For the first seven crewed Apollo missions only four ullage motors were used on the S-II, and they were eliminated for the final four launches.
I can't find any mention of the ullage motor being removed in the subsequent missions, in the reference given a few sentences after (https://web.archive.org/web/20150326211327/http://history.msfc.nasa.gov/saturn_apollo/documents/Second_Stage.pdf). LexisVD (talk) 12:44, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Ullage motors are afaik reserved entirely for space, they are intended to move liquid propellant to one end of the tank so that it flows correctly. Only used in freefall. I don't know of any time it has been used on launch, it just wouldn't make any sense.User:Pedant (talk) 09:34, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

message: As the vehicle that launched Skylab was radically different from the other vehicles (two stages v.s three stages (also the "third stage wasn't even based on the S-IVB 500)), should it be labeled as a different version, similar to the Falcon 9 page?

replies: text: This article is about the engine not the vehicle stack.Not the right article for that issue I think.User:Pedant (talk) 09:38, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The vehicle that launched Skylab didn't have the third stage. So I think this is the right article. Redacted II (talk) 12:39, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Skylab 

message: Currently there are 3 rockets listed as comparable to Saturn V; N1 (never operational), Energia & SLS. Could/should we add "Starship (not operational)"? Considering N1 is on the list and it was never operational, I think it's reasonable for Starship to be on the list too. Chalyls (talk) 20:01, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

message: Why is there no mention of Apollo 7?  It was an honest-to-god mission, not one that was skipped or discarded for some technical reason. 2601:18F:700:307:8CAC:4D51:9DCA:85D (talk) 13:40, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Apollo 7? 

message: Hello everyone,
As you have probably seen, I recently submitted this article for GAN. However, it was quick-failed because I did not have enough authorship on the article, a criteria I was totally not aware of.
So, here's me tagging the contributors with more authorship on the article: @The4lines @CactiStaccingCrane @Enceladus @JustinTime55
What do you guys think? Would one of you like to resubmit Saturn V to GAN? I really think all the criteria is met, and if there's anything that needs to be improved, please mention it below . Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 11:05, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
