Slow-mo Saturn 5 launch

[kittypie070]

Holy frak who could dislike this? I love it! If I could put this in a bowl and eat it every day I'd eat til I popped.

[dkmann1987]

@kittypie070 Bart Sibrel was here...

[kittypie070]

@dkmann1987 -- well if he was here I hope he had a cow :D

[IASOU2005]

I want more of this is my life

[tonyrosam]

I hope to God our country can still make one even greater in near future. Maybe private corp?

[sciencoking]

one retard didn't realize how extremely and totally awesome this footage is.

[faronthefiddler]

The music and the video go perfectly together.

This rocket is the reason America got to the Moon before anyone else. The Russians tried to build a giant rocket like the Saturn V but never got it to work.

All 4 launches ended in disasters.

[overheadcam32]

Our nation united to acheive such awesome feats during this program. Its sad to see the state of our nation now. We are chasing our tails with no goals.

[chronius9]

We won't see this power again until ares V. Buran project tried to cope with such thrust capability, but whole program failed.

[faronthefiddler]

Werner Von Braun is the man who made it work.

how can this have a rating of 2 stars this is kick ass rate 5 stars

[llandudnoboy]

Forget the cost im sure if a special Saturn V fund could be launched there are not many people in the world who wouldnot love to see another live launch of one of these monsters.

The last one was in 1973 with the Saturn V Skylab.

This is the most beautiful video i have ever seen!

Long live the Apollo!

[rtonb]

Beautiful, what is the soundtrack?

[manny4life]

The most powerful machine to have ever existed

[chriscass1982]

the best song/ footage combination that I have seen for a spacecraft video yet!

[chriscass1982]

the 5 engines weighed 10 tons a peice for a total of 50 tons just for the engines! the weigh helped to stabilize the rocket in flight...the fuel pump for these engines was a little bigger than a 350 chevy motor and had 32,000 horsepower!......Magnificent design, so powerful yet so majestic

[TheHiddenOne347]

so how could it end up with all together? 6 million hp?

[chriscass1982]

Facts about this rocket you are watching....it is a three stage rocket.the first stage (shown) has 5 f-1 engines that consumed 1,350 gallons of fuel a second..thats 6750 gallons for all a second..total horsepower 160 million. could lift 125 tons of dead weight into earth orbit...thats a small parking lot of cars...the first stage disengaged at a alltitude of 42 miles up and about 300 miles downrange...speed 5,800 miles per hour in only 2.5 minutes!

[llandudnoboy]

Have you been reading the superb Haynes manual on Apollo 11 aswell.

If not its brilliant and costs less than a tenner from amazon.

[o0Spyder0o]

beautiful, thanks

[ftucyk]

Super !!

[vermeculit]

One of the best vid I have ever seen! Thanks a lot for the upload.

[midshipmanwest]

Can someone identify the second song in that video?

[slvjm1]

The music comes from the soundtrack to the TV show "Battlestar Galactica", the new one not the 1978 one.

[ekowings]

It's called Roslin and Adama from the second season of the new Battlestar Galactica I believe.

[sentzeu]

@midshipmanwest I think its called Roslin and Adama.

[jwelchyj]

[slvjm1]

I "borrowed" this video from another site (LiveLeak). The original source is from the NASA archives.

[CEVOrion]
