I can't recall, but either Amazon Prime or Netflix had a nice documentary on about the Saturn V.

the HBO miniseries, From the Earth to the Moon, is pretty good
Netflix dvd has it, not sure about streaming. I think Amazon still sells it too.

Isn't it incredible how quickly technology seemed to advance after world war II.....

When I was a kid I constantly read like popular science and technical type publications. Now it seems more people are fine with their kids staring at their smart phones.

What I find fascinating is NASA saying it would take years to go back to the moon. Can’t we just pull out the old plans? All the computer power could fit on the pilots wrist.

Yeah, but now you have to do it in a politically correct manner....the lunar lander would have to have a safe space so that some snowflake millenial astronaut would have a place to go if Mission Control spoke to him stridently. All equipment design would have to recognize the cultural needs and differences of the astronauts and system designers. We’d have to make sure that re-entry doesn’t upset the ozone, contribute to global warming or hurt the goddamned snail darter or some other theretofore unheard of creature. Plus fighting lawsuits brought by every hairbrained lawyer in DC over the rights of potential lunar life forms. All of that for starters...
