[Virtual Presenter] Good morning everyone, Today we will be discussing the history and current use of rockets as a means of space exploration and commercial launches. Specifically, we will explore the Saturn V, Falcon 9, and Ariane 5 rockets and their contributions to these fields. Rocket technology has been at the forefront of space exploration since the first manned missions, and they continue to play a crucial role in launching satellites into space. But their uses extend beyond space exploration. They are also used for commercial launches, such as the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket by SpaceX. So, today we will be taking a closer look at these three rockets and their contributions to space exploration and commercial launches..

[Audio] The Saturn V was a massive advancement in space exploration. It played a crucial role in the Apollo missions. The first stage of the Saturn V was powered by 5 powerful F-1 engines, which provided the initial thrust needed to launch the rocket into space. Once the first stage had burned out, the second stage was ignited, featuring 5 J-2 engines, which were used to put the Saturn V into orbit. Finally, the third stage was launched, providing the necessary boost to escape Earth's gravity and reach the moon. The Saturn V was truly a giant leap in space exploration, paving the way for future missions and advancements in space technology..
