@newastroupdates: 🚀 Fueling the giants of spaceflight, just how much power did it take to leave Earth? In this video, we break down the liftoff fuel capacity estimates for both the Apollo 11 Saturn V rocket and the Space Shuttle. 🌑 Apollo 11 (Saturn V): Over 2.8 million kg of propellant, with the mighty F-1 engines burning 12 tonnes of fuel every second. 🛰️ Space Shuttle: A staggering 2 million kg of propellant, with its Solid Rocket Boosters and main engines gulping fuel at a breathtaking rate. Both machines lit the skies with raw energy, one taking humanity to the Moon, the other building our future in orbit. But which one was the true king of liftoff power? ⚡ #nasa #apollo #space #rocket #engine
