Same here! For a while I was thinking: "Is it Kennedy Flight Center, I thought it was Kennedy Space Center?". The narrator does eventually say the full name towards the end.
A shame what happened a couple months later...

I find it impossible not to hear 'KSC' as 'KFC'

I learned a new word today: De-erected. [Insert Viagra joke here]

I'm impressed that they included the damage done to the "inner nitrogen bulkhead" {9:00} by a ladder that fell on it due to "bad welds". Very "engineering". The message: We admit our faults and learn from our mistakes. Also, every contractor was identified -- Boeing, IBM, etc., mostly for the great work they were doing. I was truly impressed with the scope of the project as shown here -- the care taken to test, test, test, qualify, qualify, qualify. Makes it obvious why the Saturn program was the success it was.
The film concentrates on what has already been achieved and what's up next, so maybe this was aimed for the government/funding authorities? A detailed film like this would make much sense considering the ever rising budget of the Saturn project :)

I want to show these 1960's TPMs Google Slides and blow their minds. Then tell them we're not on Mars yet.

What would the target auience have been for these report, internal staff? Sounds a bit too technical /monotonous for general public...?

When NASA was moving as fast as SpaceX... The enormity of it all is staggering. Thanks for posting this impressive progress report!

Awesome, but I worry that this could be ripe for a copyright troll to claim. I've seen every channel I've found posting those old info reels get nuked. Maybe make a 2nd channel for these types of uploads?
