Thanks.
Always fun to listen to that private in cabin/on board conversation in the command module whilst they hit 3G and MaxQ on the meter....

The short version here:

The only thing better than that was Cernan's description of flying through the fireball of second stage ignition "In the Shadow of the Moon"

Thanks. I'd seen an F-1 rocket engine in person at Redstone Arsenal Gate Nine. We had special access with an ex-NASA employee through like half of the facility on a college group years ago. Never heard an F-1 cluster ignite. That was incredible footage, Winston.

Did you get any building tips like how a fillet is made?
