Saturn V Staging, Asteroid Deflection and Hearing Rocket Turbines - Supporter Questions, Episode 17

Another Batch of questions from my supporters over at my Patreon page, https://www.patreon.com/posts/57890530 Questions are selected in the order they appear, some questions are repetitions of questions that have been previously asked, so I skipped those. The Questions are answered from memory rather than with research, expect mistakes.
