Speechless. It's no wonder some people insist that ancient aliens built the pyramids. Today in the early 21st century, it's unfathomable that humans could have made something like the Saturn V rocket. It seems so far beyond our ability yet of course humans built the Saturn V. I wonder if in another generation or 2 people will start doubting that we ever built the Saturn V. We can make Ipads and cell phones and webcams, but we can't make anything GREAT anymore. Can't afford to...
@HambaTT In answer to my own question, it turns out it's also off the soundtrack to BSG Season 2, Bear McCreary - Roslin and Adama. It's looped twice during this clip.
I got the opportunity to visit the Saturn V museum in Huntsville Alabama. Absolutely stunning piece of history. As an AE major and space vehicle science hopeful, this kind of videos touches my soul. I get a lump in my throat at the idea that perhaps within my lifetime I will have the opporunity to watch with my own eyes as we take the next great step into space.
@underscoreisnotvalid So is the computer you're bitching about this on. Not only that, but the plastics that your computer was built with also represent things like the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico. If you're not prepared to give up most of your creature comforts, including things like your cell phone, etc (much of which came out of the space program) then quit your bitching.
@CEVOrion: Please tell us the name of the first piece of music in this wonderful video? Also please consider uploading a higher-resolution version. Thank you for this!
@VoxReason The music here - the entire video - is "Baltar's Dream." It is found on one of the Battlestar Galactica soundtracks. If you do a YT search, you'll find lots of videos with this music on it. I think it suits this video perfectly.
We, the human race, can do just about anything. I am hugely optimistic - I say we can build great machines like this, and we can also take care of the needy among us, and we can ensure that our children are educated well, and we can achieve justice among ourselves, and we can do so many things that SEEM impossible. If we could all pull in the same direction....there's no stopping us. We are awesome. We can do it ALL.
Is there a way to optimze this for mobile viewing? Please, please....if there is, do it. I'm on my knees here. This video is like a spiritual experience, with this delicious music. It is a testament to light, and truth, and knowledge....it lights a fire in the hearts and minds of all who view it....let us see it on mobile so we can share it more easily with our friends.
@CEVOrion Thank you so much. Seriously, this should be used by NASA and the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. Captures the imagination so powerfully. Makes us all stop and reflect on what could be possible...
Enjoyed reading your comment and agree the video is "like a spiritual experience". I did ask CEVOrion too if there was a HD version coming too...its amazing to be sitting somewhere quiet and watching this clip on the iPod. I do hope you got the transfer done as its well worth the effort.
seeing this is sad, the space mission being cancelled aswell. Usa being the giant in space travel is falling behind due to its stupid govenment, we would be up in the stars if the world didnt spend money in weapons and war. if we would spend all that billions of dollars on trying to see how this world was formed we would be up there right now
The first two and a half minutes of this film are simply fantastic. As someone else mentioned, Goose bumps every time. As many times as I have seen the launch of the Saturn 5, the part that is truly awe inspiring, to me, is the shear power exiting the nozzles at initial take off. Seven million pounds of raw as it can be, power.
We spent 800 billion of throw away on stimulus. Just think how far we could have gotten with that. Our priorities are entitlements, not research. Eventually, we will snuff out as we feast on our own golden egg.
God I miss those days. A time when I really felt proud to be an American. We also have to give credit to where it is due. The Saturn V was German engineering at its best.
In the meantime our space program did a 180 degree turn and has become shit
@032490mf Honestly... I don't like too much the USA, not the peopble but the politics and predative nature of his corpotations... BUT things like the space program (russian one too), make me felt proud to be human...
One of the wild things I read was that the pilot (collins i think) said he had his hand on the abort switch but the shaking got so bad he took his hand off it. He said I would rather die than abort the launch. Thats how important it was to those guys back then.
What happened to the men who created this? Did their breed just die off never to be seen again? What does our future in space look like or is there a future? The Chinese are now working to build their own station. Is it over for NASA and the USA?
I watched this liftoff as a kid and I just knew that one day we'd be out there...I was wrong!!!

The Saturn V and the Apollo program were the absolute pinnacle of the ingenuity of mankind. Hard to believe it's almost been 44 years since its first flight. The human race has fallen and can't get up.
If anyone can answer: Now that Nasa don't have (as far as i know) a spesific plan for a new rocket system, would it be such a crazy idea to start producing the saturn v again? Maybe they would want to modify it a little, i don't know, but it was a hell of a rocket, wasn't it? And, they wouldn't have to design a whole new system.
@aigg Yes Nasa has a new rocket in the works, its called the Space Launch System, it is just as powerful as Saturn V. Doesn't anyone read the news anymore???
What happened to the men who created this? Did their breed just die off never to be seen again? What does our future in space look like or is there a future? The Chinese are now working to build their own station. Is it over for NASA and the USA?
I watched this liftoff as a kid and I just knew that one day we'd be out there...I was wrong!!!
We have fallen so far ;That's all I can think of when I watch this...........The thrust from the first stage of this monster rocket,if converted to electrical power, would light the entire eastern coast for the 2 mins. and 39 secs. if fired for. Each of its first stage engines gulped 3 tons of fuel/oxidizer per second;......Multiply by 5 engines and we see that each second the rocket became 15 tons lighter burning fuel at this rate.
I was 6 then too..Hard to describe what life was like then compared to now..Our kids and we have seen many changes since. Here's to what happens next, hopefully!...Mars is not that far away :>
With pride but great sadness, I told my boys that there was a time when men had aspirations and took to the skies.. Now we look up to illiterate footballers and their wags...
@ve2zzz The dark band below the engine bell is not actually the rocket exhaust. There are turbo pumps (2 I think) to pump the rocket fuel into the combustion chamber. These are driven by jet engines. They use the exhaust from these pumps as a sort of temperature buffer between the Very hot rocket exhaust and the engine bell. This "low temperature" exhaust is funneled out along the inner skin of the bell to protect it. It appears black here because the cameras are heavily filtered.
The F1's propulsive jet, at the precise moment it leavest the bell nozzle, seems to be just lightly incadescent.. It is only around 10 ft under the bell that it becomes white hot.
I don't understand... It's like having the gases igniting AFTER they have left the engine... Logically, the combustion would have to be made INSIDE the engine to be efficient.
@ve2zzz That's an interesting observation! But the propellant IS combusted inside the rocket engine, that for sure. The gases are highly compressed and have a high velocity when they leave the nozzle, maybe it has something to do with the volume of the gas increasing and the speed decreasing. I'll ask my professor about it (student aerospace engineering) and report back here.
@ve2zzz The F1 dumped excess kerosene into the nozzle to keep the nozzle cool, creating a shroud of cooler kerosene around the central exhaust. This would not ignite, since there wasn't any oxidizer present in the exhaust at the point of injection. A short time after leaving the nozzle, the kerosene ignites when it finally mixes with atmospheric oxygen.
@ve2zzz I think it's afterburning efect of more oxygen supplied by the atmosphere. Notice at 3:12 - how re-ignition threshold alters its line along with voritces of air.
@ve2zzz The fire is darker just after the nozzle for the same reason sun spots are darker.
That is, they are areas not quite as hot as the surrounding areas.
The camera filming this, has its aperture set to the minimum size, since filming the fire from the engine is like filming directly into the sun almost. So, the cooler areas look dark.
The reason they are cooler is because they are closest to the nozzle, and the nozzle is cooler because the fuel is circling around it as coolant. :)
@ve2zzz It's the turbine exhaust getting injected into the engine bell, which mixes with the flame and makes it dark for a few feet out by cooling it off. They did that with the F-1 to keep it from melting itself, sort of like how on hydrogen/liquid oxygen engines they run the LH2 through little pipes in the nozzle to keep it cooler.
First we learned of Fire from the thunderous lightning... then man evolved that into pit or open pit fires for warmth, cooking, ritual, safety and tool making.
Now, as I watch that beautiful fire burning as the rocket flies upwards to space, unknown, I can not help to imagine the beauty in that wonderful flame.
My God, look at what we were and look at us now. It makes me sad. Once NASA reached out to the Heavens and now NASA's main goal is to reach out to Muslims.
What would President Kennedy think of this once proud space program? Will we ever be great again? I for one do not know.
So we captured a Nazi scientist at the end of world war II who launched bottle rockets at Britain, put him at a desk, and then he pretty much made this thing get us to the moon. And this was over 40 years ago. You think by now I could catch a flight to Mars or somethin....what happened?
I never understood the size of this thing until I went to the Kennedy Space Center last week...Pictures will never give it justice...its something that really needs to be seen in person to appreciate fully. Amazing
awesome - did you get the bit where it was "trying " to break through the sound barrier - but because it was rapidly ascending into thinner air ( where speed of sound increases!?? ) it took its time - did it a few times -
speed of sound is actually slower the higher up you get - fastest in air is at sea level. The Saturn V broke the sound barrier pretty early, and the halo effect is just a function of the continuing supersonic shockwave causing water vapour to condense - the size and shape depending on the humidity at that point, and the current velocity.
I love this video with the music. I sure miss those Apollo days! I was only 12 when they landed on the moon. There was such an excitement about the adventure and exploration of space. I sure thought we would be much farther along by 2011. Low earth orbit is so unimaginative and boring.
The Saturn V should never have been discontinued. It should have kept evolving. I could see it now: interconnecting Skylabs, orbiting lunar bases, and the construction of the manned Martian vehicles in earth orbit. From the glorious Apollo days to hitching rides on Russian rockets...sad.
I get emotional when i watch this, It makes me wonder will we ever make something that can top this? Or will mankind fall into chaos before we get the chance?
@CEVOrion if you touched the minds of the people who made that documentary like you did all of us, then yes, i would say your video and music did in fact influence their choice :) i still watch this all the time. i dont even need the video anymore to get the 'feelings' that this video evoked!! i just imagine where we can go
Possibly a hint to say upload a HD version of your amazing video vid that like so many others continued to watch since first seeing last year over and over again.
I have watched this far too many times, absolutely awesome in every sense of the word. Have you ever considered re-uploading this in HD? (720 or 1080p)
magnificient video of course.. but the music omg, i drooled over the first two minutes twenty.. i know that battlestar galactica music was used in the second portion of the video (after 2:40) but i rlly want the stuff before that... anyone know the name?
@CEVOrion We can only hope CEVO. Still the best music video ever made. I've seen this vid one a week since '09, and still get misty every time. Molto Bello!!
I read something once about how being in the vicinity of a Saturn V launch left you in absolutely no doubt that this machine was leaving the planet. :) Wish I could find the exact quote.
It's really a great video. LarS1963 is right, this video shows that we could be so great if we wanted to. One must only imagine how much power is there unleashed by those engines - and man can handle it! Also the music is great here.
@CEVOrion agree.. I cut tv since more than a year, and use that time+money more wisely. I believe human can still achieve their dreams with hard work and sacrifice.
It's chilling to see the fire move like water around :30. And then the pure awe at 1:52 seeing how quickly the booster is ejecting exhaust/propellant even when filmed in high speed. Its amazing we did these kinds of things decades ago. Like LarS said, its a shame that all we care about is the lowest common denominator.
It is very sad to know that NASA lost the material to built the Saturn V...no one even know how to re-built it....almost 50 years later, NASA just does not know.....Regards, Sergio.
@profesorsergio A myth, a false one at that, the plans are easily available to them. I suggest reading up on these things rather than believing the first people who tell you.
Sorry my friend that is completely wrong. Blueprints are on microfilm at the Marshall Flight Centre.
Also NASA still has a few complete Saturn V rockets on display, so if they really had to they could reverse engineer them even if there were no plans.
Speechless. It's no wonder some people insist that ancient aliens built the pyramids. Today in the early 21st century, it's unfathomable that humans could have made something like the Saturn V rocket. It seems so far beyond our ability yet of course humans built the Saturn V.

The air is best on uncharted worlds where sexy new skies simply hypnotize
And marbled metallic shores stare up to where opaque pointed peaks rise
Leave me be with my septillion children to search out each celestial home
To grow infinitely in knowledge and wisdom as the depths of space I roam
Someday I shall return to Terra Firma and stand firmly on earth once more
But for now a black hole beckons me pass through event horizon’s door

Spheres of Influence Part 1
By da Voce, 2010
Star light, star bright, first star of crimson blue azure light I see
May you be, forever be, an enchanting and fascinating lure to me
There is a cosmic deep space smile in that quiet void found out there
And a glow in the arms of my heavens no earthly joy offers to compare
Seeing galaxies dance a serene waltz while nebulas swirl at their heels
Shining a whimsical ageless grin setting my heart in motion to each reel

Mans most beautiful, elegant, reliable, mystical, and powerful invention ever imagined and realized.

What would President Kennedy think of our space program today?
Would he smile or shed a tear??

My God, look at what we were and look at us now. It makes me sad. Once NASA reached out to the Heavens and now NASA's main goal is to reach out to Muslims.
What would President Kennedy think of this once proud space program? Will we ever be great again? I for one do not know.
gekko14 6 months ago
So we captured a Nazi scientist at the end of world war II who launched bottle rockets at Britain, put him at a desk, and then he pretty much made this thing get us to the moon. And this was over 40 years ago. You think by now I could catch a flight to Mars or somethin....what happened?

@shannon5467 Yep, and you stood under it, in the Saturn V center, and said something along the lines of "HOLY SHIT!"
ladylejean215 3 months ago
awesome - did you get the bit where it was "trying " to break through the sound barrier - but because it was rapidly ascending into thinner air ( where speed of sound increases!?? ) it took its time - did it a few times -
woayerrrr 7 months ago
Completely awesome - we need something like this again - all our eggs are still in one basket for the next rock to fall.
@woayerrrr
speed of sound is actually slower the higher up you get - fastest in air is at sea level. The Saturn V broke the sound barrier pretty early, and the halo effect is just a function of the continuing supersonic shockwave causing water vapour to condense - the size and shape depending on the humidity at that point, and the current velocity.

I love this video with the music. I sure miss those Apollo days! I was only 12 when they landed on the moon. There was such an excitement about the adventure and exploration of space. I sure thought we would be much farther along by 2011. Low earth orbit is so unimaginative and boring.
darbyandquimby 8 months ago
The Saturn V should never have been discontinued. It should have kept evolving. I could see it now: interconnecting Skylabs, orbiting lunar bases, and the construction of the manned Martian vehicles in earth orbit. From the glorious Apollo days to hitching rides on Russian rockets...sad.

@CEVOrion if you touched the minds of the people who made that documentary like you did all of us, then yes, i would say your video and music did in fact influence their choice :) i still watch this all the time. i dont even need the video anymore to get the 'feelings' that this video evoked!! i just imagine where we can go

@CEVOrion We can only hope CEVO. Still the best music video ever made. I've seen this vid one a week since '09, and still get misty every time. Molto Bello!!

"The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean.
Recently, we've waded a little way out, maybe ankle-deep, and the water seems inviting.
Some part of our being knows this is where we came from.
We long to return, and we can, because the cosmos is also within us.
We're made of star stuff.
We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."

It's really a great video. LarS1963 is right, this video shows that we could be so great if we wanted to. One must only imagine how much power is there unleashed by those engines - and man can handle it! Also the music is great here.

MOHAIRBORNE 11 months ago
It's chilling to see the fire move like water around :30. And then the pure awe at 1:52 seeing how quickly the booster is ejecting exhaust/propellant even when filmed in high speed. Its amazing we did these kinds of things decades ago. Like LarS said, its a shame that all we care about is the lowest common denominator.

@profesorsergio A myth, a false one at that, the plans are easily available to them. I suggest reading up on these things rather than believing the first people who tell you.

Sorry my friend that is completely wrong. Blueprints are on microfilm at the Marshall Flight Centre.
Also NASA still has a few complete Saturn V rockets on display, so if they really had to they could reverse engineer them even if there were no plans.
