  • Thanks for posting these vids.....I remember all of the Apollo moon launches and missions....Those were some very exciting times!!!!.....And they never showed anything except the whole vehicle shots.

  • Rats still survive there, anywya..

  • Or a CME

    

  • From 1:10 to 2:30 i would imagine thats prob what it would look like in a Nuclear Blast....

  • Holy fuck.

  • The Dislikes are People that expected that f#$% song!!!!!

    And i am so happy that the uploader did not put anything

  • Este video define la palabra "Poder".

    This video defines the word "Power".

  • Light Anyone  ???

  • I bet that's what Hell is like, except your trapped there forever. No thanks!

  • @fasthonda I had the exact same thought.

  • Somebody asked why doesn't it all burn up, well some of it does, even though they pump about 300,000 gallons of water, mostly for sound dampening, but for a cooling effect as well.

    Also, that close, you probably would go deaf, and looking at it, go blind as well, if you survived the intense heat.

    Then somebody else said, 'their teacher' was around then, oh bugger - I'm old, I was around for the moon landings and was stationed at the cape during the space shuttles, 83-86 watched the Challenger.

  • wait!........how did the camera lens survived that intense temperature underneath??

  • talk about fire retardant

  • "Oh bugger, ive left my sandwich on the launch pad"

  • Why doesn't the metal melt? How hot does it get? The sound of the launch, can it make you def, or blind? both?

  • This really is awesome. I wish I could go back in time and see one of these take off. I had a teacher in High-School that actually saw one of the Moon launches. Thanks for sharing!

  • It looks like a nuclear winter after the vehicle leaves the frame. Just stunning.

  • I wonder how hot is it at that shaft

  • @TheEL337dude well i see the paint being peeled of at a rate that suggest somewhere in the area of 1650-1700° ~ with all the motion localities will vary widely over 100 ms

  • I wonder what advanced alien civilizations would think of how cumbersome we send these vehicles into space. They probably remote view our launches for a hearty laugh.

  • @StanleyKu They can have their Prius. I'll take the Cadillac of space flight any day!

  • @StanleyKu They would review their archives and say - oh yeah, that's what we did starting out.

  • @StanleyKu they have probably been through this too

  • Still a rowboat compared to the ocean of space. The day will come soon enough when nuclear fusion powers launches and this will look quaint. 

  • the lame as chuck norris comments just. wont. stop!

  • @hempartist420 i bet the next comment would be"yeah, will it blend?"

  • Smores anyone?

  • This is coming from someone who is agnostic, but if I could imagine what hell on Earth would look like, it would be this...

  • incredible physics and engineering,,,to think that we where just like apes couple of billion years :)

  • Keep in mind that was a slow-mo...

  • Please excuse Chuck Norris for farting.

  • they should use this at can you microwave this haha

  • wow.. power blast

  • MUMMY!! The marshmallows have blown off my stick..

  • Drink more NOS

  • Pure energy.

  • God at the massive power , Its like everything else in the Picture is like a rag in a tornado and its just being tossed around like nothing at all. Science is by far the best subject ever to be created . Granted i cant rule out math because they go hand and hand but just the science aspect of it is just so mind boggling in so many Indescribable ways its unimaginable . Anyone that enjoys this should watch Through the Worm Hole with Morgan Freeman on Science Channel.

  • @Sajin688 Also i may add , Sorry to seem to be rambling but one last thing i must say . I know it may sound so obsessive of me but i wouldnt go that far as of my feelings towards science . But what i wanted to say is that if every subject i had through school i would have been an hour early everday and got in trouble just so i could get detention and stay over and keep studying . Just wish i had that urge that boost to get me back into the books . I always felt i had alot of potential .

  • Comment removed

  • stupendo

    

  • 1:15 i wish i were some iron guy from xmen and do light my cigarette in this scenario. after that i'd say: "wow sry, i think i pooped"

  • What temp ?

  • This is what hell looks like! O.O

  • Damn. I keep coming back to this video every couple of weeks, that kind of power is just incredible

  • (Continued)

    ...liquid oxygen for the main engine. The cooler gasses from the compressor-exhaust are led along the walls of the combustion chamber, so that they form a barrier between the extremely hot gasses from the main engine and the walls. This way, the combustion chamber and the exhaust nozzle are protected. The bright stream below the dark band is the exhaust from the main engine.

  • @leisulin & @airborne360 & @RadPal9:

    RadPal9, I think you are confused with the SRB's from the Space Shuttle. First of all, the solid fuel of the SRB's don't react with the oxygen in the air, they have a built-in oxidizer: mostly oxygen bound to iron, as ironoxide.

    The Saturn V didn't have a solid fuel rocket, but burns some kind of kerozine with liquid oxygen. The dark band you see on top of the exhaust stream, is the much cooler exhaust from the turbo-compressors that compress the fuel and...

  • Kamehamehaaaaaa!!! BOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

  • let me give you guys a hint on how hot the fire is coming out of there if you notice that the metal is on fire even after it is gone it only takes 10 seconds for the shuttle to leave the launch pad if you were to put a blue whale under it there would be nothing left of it not even the bones in less than 10 seconds

  • @theiopl22 lets do it! or a brand new mustang...ah that'd be the day

  • Maybe we can imagine now how much power it need to defeat the Earth's gravitation.

  • This remind anybody else of when they opened the Ark in Indiana Jones?

  • Like the beginning of Koyaanisqatsi.

    So, what's the remnant smoky substance? Water vapor? Concrete vapor?!

  • @d00kiebird Water. They pour thousands and thousands of gallons of water through the launch pad under the rockets to dampen the shock waves. TYPE: "Sound Suppression Water System on MLP1" into the Yoututbe search engine for a good idea of what's going on. :o) More Nerd Porn.

  • Anyone know the exact temperature there?

  • @zeljkofurlan 4200 degrees celsius...

  • @35 thats the sight of the terminator coming back 

  • wow! im definitely going to watch the space shuttle Atlantis take off July 12th or 15th whenever they decide to make a choice. haha it will be my first and last literally

  • is that sped up? coz the rocket looked really slow, but the fire and air looked too fast?

  • anybody want a well done burger, lol. imagine if u cud hear the engines that close

  • i didnt knew anything could burn like this

  • someone once told me that the lock heads {glowing red} weigh more than a ton each of super hardened alloy steel wow that takes some kinda heat to make them red that quick ..serious weenie cooker ... obama kabobs anyone???

  • damn

  • go baby go

  • free hugs in da hole !

  • Cuuuuttt cut cut, the camera man needs a cold drink.

  • How is the camera kept safe? Even some kind of heat resistant box, it's hard to believe it wouldn't fry the electronics

  • @Impess99

    Somebody said somewhere that the camera is in some kind of little enclosure behind a quartz window that's a couple inches thick, or something...

  • @Impess99

    The camera was safe below several feet of concrete and was attatched to a periscope arrangement. The top end was heavily shielded and the image viewed through a thick heat resistant window.

  • If hell were real, I imagine the conditions there would be a lot like the way it looks at 00:30 - 00:40 into the video.

  • @leisulin my thoughts exactly ... fearsome power indeed

  • a good way to cook barbeque

  • Please, please put some sound.

  • @StanleyKu I'm sure I already know the answer, but was Chuck Norris really standing there?

  • @StanleyKu he needs that much heat to cook off the crust outa his undies cuz hes so old he farts liquid dust that has coated the brains of the norris comment crews

  • @StanleyKu hahahahaha ur funny :D

  • @TheWwweee Thanks!

  • NASA! Two launchpads medium rare, please.

  • @hyperthreaded

    They don't do medium-rare, only WELL done. :)

  • 0.32 Looks like the end of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

    "Don't look at it Marion!!!!! Don't LOOK AT IT!!!!!"

  • @TheHockeyCentral so THAT's where the ark of the covenant is.

  • wtf blue flames

  • That is Amazing :P:P I LOVE tthis :P:P

  • that is so cool. :O

  • how on earth does the structure survive! lol.

  • now we know where and why the slogan "its toasted" is written on all the lucky strike packs ;) 

  • omg. they have a camere that can withstand those immense heats?

  • @Dangermind88 of course they do.. now how they house it.. i have no idea! id think even if you had a pyrex type glass feet thick youd still have deformations in the face disrupting the video.. now it also prolly way off site, but even then id thought the shaking of the ground would be too immense to record. NASA is americas test bed for all important technologies.. and our current administration has cut funding.. its important!

  • is that water or smoke???

  • @mahhmeatloaf

    Water sprays wet down the launch tower and platform after the booster is safely away. So that is mostly steam you are seeing there.

  • for all you emo's who want a quick death ... Then stand under that man

  • @leisulin & @airborne360 - the SRB's use aluminum for fuel. [It's actually a mixture called APCP] The entire surface of the APCP bundle ignites at once, inside the rocket! What you see in the video is the result of that explosion coming out of the nozzle. That generates the thrust. The gap is the distance it takes for this incredibly hot 'exhaust' to mix with air and ignite.

  • thats how i cook my marshmallows

    

  • Fire all of your guns at once, and explode into space! LOL.

  • Welcome to the hell created by man.

  • The thing I wonder about: you notice as the thing is first rising up high enough to see the exhaust streaming out of the engines, the first several feet of exhaust below the ends of the nozzles is not that bright at all, you can't even see it very well, but you can see it well enough to tell it's the exhaust coming out of the nozzles, and only several feet below that point does it become incandescent. Is it that it's not fully combusted at that point? Or what?

  • @leisulin I noticed the exact same thing! Glad I'm not the only one wondering about it. I thought it might have been part of the engine itself, but they're not shaped that way, they're not that long. So I think you're right, for some reason the exhaust is not combusted until a certain point. How mental is that?

    Type 'apollo 11 launch' into Google images and you can see that the part we're on about is black/dark orange, whereas the engines are silver.

  • These videos are awesome in the extreme.

    Imagine if you were standing there on that platform next to the thing. You'd be barbecued well done in about half a second.

  • That's some hot rocket porn

  • looks like hell kinda

  • you can only wonder in awe at the power in these engines,and the engineering in the rocket them selves a wonderful machine.

  • taylor gang or get caught under that shit

  • PURE ENERGY.

  • FOR THAT STUCK ON ROCKET EXHAUST USE OXYCLEAN STAIN FIGHTER!

    IT'S FOR THE CAR IT REMOVES SOAP SCUM AND CAN CLEAN UP AFTER A ROCKET LAUNCH IF YOU ORDER NOW YOU CAN GET OXYCLEAN STAIN FIGHTER PLUS ODER REMOVER TO GET RID OF CAT PISS!

  • Dr. Manhattan lying underneath taking a sun bathe.

  • 4 cosmonauts disliked this.

  • That guy in the tower must have protective gear lol.

  • Mother: Son, where did all of this space shuttle gas come from?

    Son: I launched a space shuttle!

  • That's ridiculous! Eat it world! *chanting* USA USA USA

  • the bbq that science made!

  • now run across the platform barefoot!

  • 1:44 is that water or smoke? can't tell...

  • @robloxroxx - There's this thing called "steam"...

  • @terser FEEL DA BERN!!!!

  • 1:01 BURNIN BY DA LIGHT!!!!

  • that's a very tired launch pad after that flogging

  • a fucking fire storm was starting....... lol someone put on night vision goggles and sit through this

  • pure nerd porn

  • @TheSacredSerpent heck yeah!!!

  • @TheSacredSerpent this is SO HOT!!!! ...hot

  • @TheSacredSerpent While I agree there's not much there to enlighten most of us, but using the term nerd to somehow belittle those whose work far surpass, quite likely, anything you've ever accomplished or contributed in your entire life, does little to dispel the reality of where we are today as a nation in America.

    Engineers, scientists, mathematicians, poets have tried to push the frontier of discoveries. Instead, they must overcome people like you who continue on much the same usual ways.

  • @Petionvilloi lol you seriously over analyzed his comment. I came hard when I watched this video. It really is indeed nerd porn.

  • @TheSacredSerpent Put on your glasses and your pocket protectors cause we're going to do some learnin'.

    BSME. 

  • @TheSacredSerpent hahahah... you yankies had for real to much McDonalds and horseshit in yer brains!

  • That is some crazy shit haha

  • Anyone up for Marsh mellows?

  • This is what they called "HD" 50 years ago... lol

  • I guess the last sequence is Apollo 17 night launch?

  • @stoneill1 The title says Apollo 12. Since the exhast is so bright, I presume that they set the aperature of the camera really small so that they could get a good picture of the launch.

  • Hey -- the colonies could have happened... if the politicians hadn't cut the funding for their own pet projects once Apollo 11 landed and beat the Russians.

  • Fascinating! But, were there actually any astronauts on board?

  • @recoveringcultmember Not on Apollo 4, 5, 6, and Skylab 1. All the rest were manned.

  • toasty!

    

  • wow nasa suk dey cant get 2 space witout berning teh erth NASA POLLLOOTS OTS CAUSE FOR GLOBAL WARMIN BECAUSE HOT FIRE GOS INTO ATMOSFEAR WEN LAUNCH!

  • @GigaShotStudios you're kidding right? NASA is the reason behind global warming? A couple of launches wont even come close to the amount of CO2 released by cars and factories.....

  • @Qasimbajwaa I know, I'm just trolling, hoping somebody would reply with an equally stupid argument.

    I'm actually surprised the comments section for this video is intelligent and not rage everywhere.

  • @empyohon Hah, I have a V8 5.9 liter XD

  • Ive always wondered, are these videos slowed down for a better view? "slowmo"? And, can you believe that Obama's new primary mission for NASA is to increase Muslim participation in the program and outreach to Muslim countries?

  • @SARGENTSCRUFY links, or it ain't true.

  • few pounds of thrust there lol

  • One day I hope to have an orgasm that can only be described by this video :)

  • The awesome potential of mankind

  • ummm could i fry a hot dog?

  • HOLY CRAP... Did you see those steel beams at the end of the video glowing red, i mean, those beams are the size of a mack truck and they were glowing red after only 3 seconds of blast head from those saturn 5 rockets.

  • I wonder how fast it takes to boil a can of water, or fry a chicken if you place it right under the engines....

  • 7,000,000 lbs of awesome

  • Good place to get a tan :D

  • It is ice,but the rocket does not get cooled down prior to liftoff. The fuel is kerosene and the oxidizer is liquid oxygen which is extremely cold...and ice builds up on the skin of the rocket. The 5 f-1's each consume 675 gal. of fuel and oxidizer each second. Each f-1 has a device that produces 55,000 hp that is used simply to pump the fuel and oxidizer to the main combustion chamber.

  • @TheMaxwell777 as far i know, that are ice. The rocket gets cooled down before the start.

  • The Saturn V was the most powerful machine ever built by humans. A truly breathtaking display of power and engineering genius.

  • @sritger I would challenge that the Tsar Bomba was single most powerful machine ever built by humans.

  • its liquid oxygen...

  • antiecological

  • i would stand at the bottom holding onto things whilst singing the earth song

  • @SamUKest89 HAhahha

  • NASA; you're SO hot!

  • @honborg 

  • omfg!!!

  • goddammit, I shat my pants.. :(

  • The first stage we see here burned highly refined petrol, known as RP-1, with liquid oxygen. The upper stages used liquid H2 and O2.

  • it's not petrol/gasoline it's refined kerosene.

  • Sorry, different lingo. I meant petroleum for the contraction, "petrol." Not automotive fuel, gasoline. RP-1 is refined kerosene, however, we both know they're derived from crude oil.

  • Not necessarily, you are not aware of the Fischer Tropsch process that kept Nazi germany with afloat after the fuel blockades?

  • Blimey Thor in Valhalla would be dead proud of this disturbance.

  • the iron got red hot. Did you guys see?

  • The Beast tore the pad to crap each time it took off. The first Saturn V launch happened, the power of the launch was underestimated. When those first 5 F1s kicked off at the Cape, it made such a racket that people thought at first the rocket blew up, but then they saw The Beast lifting off with a sun on its tail, roaring and crackling. One reporter put it "it was like it took you by your collar and started to shake you around, all the while spitting the sun at you".

  • Comment removed

  • actually that was over 1000 miles away

  • They're injecting so much super-heated kerosine it's taking like 10 ft until it actually mixes with enough oxygen to ignite!

  • girolle, the engines were fed by oxygen and hydrogen. The dark envelope around the flame is due to super-cooled liquid gas that was used to cool the engines nozzle. The low temperature makes it look dark against the 3500 K flame

  • @laurin1136 Not quite. Yes the nozzles were cooled...by pumping the LO2 through the tubes that actually make up the engine bell. Mid way down the bell you can see a "bump". This is the exhaust manifold of the turbopump that is used to pump the fuel and L02 into the engine (it also burns RP1 and LO2). The gas exhaust from the turbopump , is exhausted through the manifold and this cools the bell extension, which is the lower bell piece below the turbopump exhaust manifold.

  • Although the turbopump exhaust is still very hot (+2000K) it is still cooler than the exhaust from the engine. The darker area is the turbopump exhaust gas exiting the bell extension.

  • wow!!!!!!!!

  • Just look at 1:14 to 2:28, looks absolutely hellish. Amazing sight.

  • I would like to go on the pad ten minutes after to see if there's any damage
