Describing any form of technology in simple English can sometimes be tricky. But try describing a space craft, and suddenly things get much, much harder.
Today’s XKCD attempts to describe the construction of Saturn 5 using only the thousand most commonly used words in the English language. Take a read by clicking on the image below: the result is pretty amusing. [XKCD]
Saturn 5 you really were the greatest sight.
I have a scale model of the Saturn V and I saw it at Cape Canaveral in 1999. Good times.
Absolutely classic, thanks for sharing
My thing started to point to space, I wasn’t having too much of a bad problem but still did not go to space
Awesome. Be good to see a version of this explaining how a thermonuclear bomb works. In a way, this is how we talk to children. And dogs.
This was more difficult to read than it would have been had they used the actual terminology…
