Event Details

On October 4th, 1957, the Russians took a huge leap forward in rocketry when they successfully launched Sputnik 1—the world’s first artificial satellite. Next, it was America’s turn to respond.

This episode of the Science Channel HD documentary miniseries, Moon Machines, documents the creation of the iconic Saturn V rocket, which was developed to support the Apollo program for human exploration of the Moon. As of 2018, the Saturn V remains the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful rocket ever brought to operational status.

Documentary Discussions is a recurring program featuring a series of documentary film viewings followed by a discussion to explore a wide variety of topics and matters of interest. Held on the last Saturday of the month.
