Rocketdyne F-1 engine

The Rocketdyne F-1 engine was a powerful rocket engine developed in the 1960s to power NASA's Saturn V rocket, used in the Apollo missions to the Moon. It’s a large, liquid-fuel engine that burns liquid oxygen and kerosene (RP-1) to generate immense thrust. The F-1's design allows it to produce over 1.5 million pounds of force, enabling the massive Saturn V to lift heavy payloads out of Earth's atmosphere. Its reliability and strength were crucial for astronauts reaching the Moon, making it a landmark achievement in rocket engineering.
