BBC News' 57s 🎈(and 90s) Countdowns + Launching A Saturn V Heavy Lift Vehicle (HLV).
🔹 The BBC frequently includes
countdowns in it's News programming. If you Google 'BBC countdowns', you'll see that there are two types: a 90 second countdown and a 57 second one.
Actually, all of the 90 second videos start at 87.
Let's take a pathematical look at 87 and 57(3×19).
▪️ 8+5 = 13 and 7+7 = 14. 14+13 =
27 = 3³ = 333. (I'm only half evil
👹🙂). Also, 27 = 9×3 = 999.
▪️ 87+57 = 144 = 12² = 212ᐊ (👁
🅲2) = 2112 etc.
▪️ 87s - 57s = 30s = 1/2 min =
7.5s × 4.
▪️ 87 and 57 end in the same
digit. And both have only a single factor pair. For 87, we have 3 and 29. And for 57, we have 3 and 19. Thus 87 and 57 share one factor (3) and have two other factors that, like 87 and 57, end in the same digit (9). The sum of 7, 3 and 9 is 19 - the triple prime factor of 57.
Anything else significant about the numbers 19'¹57'²ᐊ¹'²&¹±² (&3'³) and the US (not an acronym of United States and includes honourable Russians along with every other honourable (decent) human being) Space Program?

🔹 ️An alternative name for the Saturn V
is the C-57V. Then you get C-57V.1/2/3 etc for any given particular vehicle. The V can be taken to be a single letter abbreviation of the word Vehicle (or Version). All vehicles before the first C-57D used a letter A, B or C before the V. If you know the type of vehicle, you can often dispense with the type letter. The designation system for space vehicles is similar to the Dewey Decimal system for books.
