Thanks, Garrett--that was really insightful and interesting! I just watched your other video, "NASA Astronaut Rates Unrealistic Space Movie Scenes", and you also have a good sense of humor. :)

As a good driver, a powerful car scares me. I can not imagine the feeling of a giant rocket behind me.

Wow

Man astronauts are badass. The bravery and courage they have is insane!

I like to imagine it’s like going up after the drop on a roller coaster or doing a vertical in a fighter jet

You hear the pumps and the pressurization system going on you hear from call it becomes alive and everything is pressurized, valves you can hear the valves opening and closing and all of the stuff before it launches I watched all of the launches that I can

I want to hear what it was like riding on the Saturn V. I have heard a little from Apollo guys who said the first stage was very shaky and loud when close to the ground and the next two stages were much smoother.
