A few news stories recently suggested that NASA might be trying to find a home for an early Saturn I first stage rocket booster(https://www.cnet.com/news/nasa-is-giving-away-a-free-apollo-era-saturn-rocket/). It’s not the massive Saturn V, but I think the Saturn I was a fascinating design, a hastily assembled plan to build a heavy launch vehicle using the parts the designers had sitting around.
I’ve got a nice level patch of field… We just need to brand it “The Warren Field Museum” and run a kick starter to cover transport. ;-D

ULA
Man, I wish I was a museum.
how do i enter the giveaway may i ask
6:01 – 6:06
?
push it to avoid shipping costs. the british might be out of luck though, you’ll need a ship or a HUGE atlantic tunnel
Edit: im british myself.
Scott : This is a medal given to Chernobyl liquidators.
Everyone : Are you holding that bare handed?
Picard : *_facepalm_*
Wait you have proven you can land Elon Musk Style, so maybe they can just fly it over somewhere, I’m sure Jeb wouldn’t mind simulation
Quick, found the Scott Manley institution!
I have one of those medals as well….
I just rolled my eyes, reading through these comments.
Scott, you ARE an institution.

How do I enter the giveaway?
The Saturn I block 2 fins were in part to keep it stable when flying Dynasoar
In my youth in the 1970’s I wish now that I had thought to build a Saturn 1B model with a cluster of eight B14-0 boosters in the first stage. 112 newtons peak thrust with burnout in a 1/3rd of a second.
I’ve already got a Saturn IB in my garage. I don’t have a need for an outdated Saturn I.
I live on a hill top. Count me in!
been wanting to get me one of these mate
Would love to have that as a guest house behind my trailer.
What happened to the old intro? i liked it lol,keep up the great videos.
I grew up during the Space Age and the Saturn 1b was my favorite rocket. The launches were spectacular, especially at stage separation.
I’m old enough to remember watching the Saturn 1 launch on television. Very cool. Fingers crossed Houston, or Smithsonian gets it.
Von Braun was Kerballing his rockets together since the ’50s!
Red Dwarf style intro
Reminds me of the film “Mouse on the Moon”.
Love the intro
Why did Von Braun’s Rockets have fins?
Those intros get better every time
This Saturn I would look very impressive on top of it’s milk stool on a hillside. We have the technology!
Loving the new intros
The 1B was really cool
Hey Scott, thanks for your videos, you do a great job!
I was wondering if you have done, or could do a video of 3D printed rocket engines and parts? Techniques, usuage, advantages, erc…
Thanks
Saturn: both started and ended on Saturn 1, basically. Much appreciate this video! Thank you!
Great episode. Love the classics!
I thought there was a smudge on the top right of my screen. Awesome vid. Love from India
Just wondering what my HOA would say.
Hey Scott!
I feel the same way! I happen to live on 9 acres….so I have plenty of room to put it, just don’t have any money! But if they are desperate, they can always place it here to get it out of their way!
Wayne
Heck Scott, I remember the three Pegasus satellites back in 1965.
GoFundManly!
I’m tempted to get it just to have Scott Manley come to my house to talk about how cool it is!
I’ll sell my house and buy it.
*Elon Musk’s eyes begin to glow*
Did Scott move? I’ve been away.
Give ME THat Rocket!
It’ll be a bit large to fit in my living room.
If I could get my hands on that Saturn 1, I’d refurbish, fuel, and fly the damn thing rather than let it rot.
I suppose Scott would love to own a Saturn I rocket, anyway I wonder when he’s going to put up his rather impressive vinyl collection (You really need to make a video about it, Scott)?
Free to a good home!
I remember the Saturn 1B very well.
So, have you decided in which corner of your garden the Saturn I should be displayed yet? 🤔
I remember the Saturn 1 launching way before I’ve seen the Saturn V.
I’ve been driving past that thing at work for years. I wondered how long it was going to sit there before they finally did something with it.
Wow! Another giveaway!
Adds to my collection!
I use to live on 3 acres next to an airport.
WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT!!!! 😊
Just to follow-up on your last video, Norway did detect nuclear isotopes from the Russian explosion.
“Clusters last stand”!
I want one! To give to this space thing in the netherlands
As a lover, like you, of all things awesome, Scott — I just wanna say you’re my kinda creator. Thanks for the fun and smiles.
I’ve always love the ‘little’ SI/SIB too <3
Man: I wanna chart-order this.
Seller:What options do you want?
Man: MOAR BOOSTERS pls
I’d love to see you do a video on the UK rocket “black arrow : lipstick”
3:12 Saturn I gets blushed
I see rocket giveaway. I want it now.
Scott, as a German myself, it hurts me how you pronounce von Braun‘s name. A bit.
It is pronounced „fonn Brown“, not Brawn.
Hope it helps. Keep it up man, you‘re doing great!
Thank you for purchasing a saturn booster. You have chosen *NASA EXPRESS DELIVERY*
Launch in t minus 5
Also known as “Clusters last stand”
3:06 Me in KSP when trying to minimize fuel usage during launching ships into space
Just texted my mom-
Me: NASA is giving away a Saturn 1, want to know how much shipping is?
Mom: Uhhhh…Bring your own 18 wheeler??
Me: About $250k
Mom: Cheaper to buy the 18 wheeler and pick it up!
Me: Probably
At the beginning I expected the theme from “Roger Ramjet”…
Scott Manley always has explosive content lol.
Keep Mary Boas on the shelf. You never know when she will come in handy.
Every space nerd among us would love to have it on our backyards lol.
There’s a character in the movie ‘Coraline’ (Sergei Alexander Bobinsky) who wears a Liquidater medal
There is a design for a Saturn 1B and skylab for that matter: Lego Idea Skylab 3in 1 build
anytime human space programs do something exactly the same as in Kerbals is always awesome
I think I’d be tempted to wave a Gieger counter over that medal….
Put a flat earther in it, and force them to pay for the fuel. I actually haven’t seen a flat earther in a while, did they go extinct?
Google had this on there front page yesterday and I was like “hell ya I’ll take a saturn 1 in my backyard” …
…then they explained that one would have to pay $250k transportation fee…..yeah I said “hell no, that sucks”
Imagine the intro Scott could make with this rocket
At today’s prices, how much would it cost to fill the tanks? Asking for a friend…
Here is a tip: If you pronounce Von Braun just like “brown” (which it means) you are much closer to the proper pronounciation than with your tongue-knot attemps.
And the v in von is just like the F in the most famous english word.
HOW DO I ENTER THIS COMPETITION !
I want to restore it, then go to the ISS.
You just need a milkstool…
Anyway. Wouldn’t it be nice to help guests?
“Hey, Scott! I’m nearly there. Which house is yours?”
“You will know…”
I like how the Saturn I / IB was jokingly referred to “Cluster’s Last Stand”.
Hey it’s free!
You know, unless you want to move it…
UPS:
Uhm sir…..
We can’t send this.
NASA:
Eh who cares
This would be a good background for your video
“Just add more boosters.”
~W. von Braun
Ran when parked. Free for haul away.
I’m going down to Huntsville this weekend for the ham radio festival. Lemme ask my roommate if I can borrow his pickup truck
No purchase necessary to enter. Some assembly required.
3:06 When you’re not tall enough to go on the rollercoaster
I always thought that your YouTube channel WAS an institution. You should reconsider getting the rocket
Plop it on a conspiracy theorist’s doorstep
Hey Scott, I have the DC-X intertank and avionics bay in my backyard, next to my log barn! It has the end-domes from the aluminium-lithium oxidizer tank! I have also seen the Saturn I first stage that’s been lying on its side for decades at the Marshall test area. I work in building 4203 at Marshall. So If you are ever in the area look me up and I’ll show you what’s left of the DC-X. I also have my HARC CATS Prize solid fuel grain and a Patriot Missile test nozzle on my back porch! We could also have a pint at the Straight-to-Ale Brewery where you could see my High Altitude Lift-Off (HALO) Sky-Launch 2 Hybrid Rockoon rocket hanging from the ceiling!
“I think the Saturn I is cute.” It takes an enthusiast to call an awesome machine capable of lifting thousands of kilos ‘cute’.
If everyone of his subscibers contributed 25 cents were almost done!
Scott Manley (at his local permit office):
I would like to apply for a permit for a “milk stool” for my backyard please.
County Official:
Sir, you don’t really need a permit for a “milk stool”
Scott Manley:
Umm… yea, I think I might.
Somebody start a crowdfunding so we can all collectively buy a saturn 1 and assemble it in scotts backyard
