In this video from Destin Sandlin and Smarter Every Day, they discuss the inner workings and the technology behind the Saturn V rocket—the very rocket that escorted Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins in the legendary Apollo 11 mission that brought us to the Moon for the first time. Destin’s video features Luke Talley, who back in 1969 was a senior associate engineer at IBM in Huntsville, Alabama. (The video also features Linus Sebastian, from Linus Tech Tips.)
