Being a firefighter, I have been to some crazy structure fires and such. All of them put together pale in comparison to a single second of this video. Lol!
@budmeister Could be.. But he still had a history working with the Nazis.. But then again, USA wasn't the only ones who grabbed a few nazi-scientists to work for them. The Soviets did that as well..
Slow speed really brings out the details, especially the fire/smoke imploding and the tongues of fire all over the launch pad. Music totally adds to the video -- kudos!
comander niel armstrong took manual controll of the final landing farther away from all the world the crew and ground controll held their breath,mr arrmstrong comander sir .the peopleof the good earth give thanks to you salute
@aramhampson You`re dead right.When some people ignore the evidence and swallow the idiotic conspiracy theories about Apollo,they ignore the great bravery of Armstrong and the rest.I`m a Brit but everyone should recognize what an achievement it was to put men on the moon and how brave these heroes were.Truly one of mankinds greatest feats!
these engines are rocketdyne F-1 engines on the first stage of the apoolo launch vechile. There are a total of five arangened in a star pattern..the middle engine turned side to side (gimballed) for steering. The engines alltogethwer weighed 50 tons, used a combined 6,750 gallons of fuel a sec., developed 160 million H.P. and lifted 125 tons of dead weigh to 5,800 M.P.H.,42 miles up in 2.5 minutes.
The statistics of the Saturn ist stage are mind boggling. Can't get over the audacity that anyone would even consider building something like that .... but they did and after much problems during engine development they got them to run sweet in the end.
One correction though, correct me if I an wrong. I am sure the middle engine was fixed and the outers gimballed. The middle was shut down as fuel load reduced to prevent overspeed. These engines could not be throttled back.
The F1 engine burned kerosine and liquid oxygen. It is the most powerful rocket engine ever built by human beings. There are *five* of them in the first stage of a Saturn V, five of the most powerful rocket engines ever built by human beings. It is an achievement we could surpass if we wanted to, but never have. Apollos 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 are the greatest engineering achievements in human history. And we threw the remaining rockets away instead of using them.
@MrHankyTheXmasPoop if im right (some one with another comment may correct me) its due to the compression of the cockpit, de-oxidising of the rocket or simply making sure it doesnt blow up leaving the atmosphere
@tutorialcomedydude It's ice and paint chipping off, but mostly ice. There's ice because the engines ran off of kerosene (fuel) and liquid oxygen (oxidizer). The liquid O2 is -200+ degrees F. Even with the insulation and the metal skin of the rocket, ice forms due to the skin of the rocket being so cold after fueling. Then you light 5 - F1 engines and all that ice shakes off.
That was ice that formed around the outside of the liquid oxygen tanks between the time they were filled and lift-off. When the engines started there would be a lot of vibration as the rocket was held captive for a few seconds until all the engines reached full power and most of this ice shook off during this period.
The particles falling are ice sheets from the Saturn V itself. With all the Liquid Oxygen and Hydrogen used to fuel the Saturn V, the rocket itself is like a giant refrigerator standing in the high humid atmosphere of Florida. With that combination, ice forms on the outside of the rocket. During launch it all breaks away from the forces invoked on the vehicle.
@Antsuw He's right. You have to remember back then they didn't have SRBs. They used liquid fuels that had to be kept at an extremely low temp to keep in a liquid state. Because of that ice built up on a rocket. Almost like a nitrogen container when your teacher brings it into the classroom. The edge of the lid is covered in a shell of ice.
@Jacen230 They were encased in special housings with thick glass that protected them from the heat and flames of the lifttoff. The camera is running at 500 fps.
These pilots were trained as test pilots and tested this stuff to the limit- with computers with less capability than a digital watch or old TI calcuator- there are tons of handwritten notes in the archives associated with each of these flights.

Well this is the most awe-inspiring thing I have seen in a good while. Looks like an atomic bomb going off on the launchpad - only the blast is sustained for what seems like an eternity of fire. Oh, and the score fits perfectly. Marvelous.
I was just at Space View Park in Titusville last week (Nov 5) for the shuttle launch. As you know by now, the launch was scrubbed. Just a block from the park is a free space museum. The museum had these beat up and pitted glass disks on display. I asked what they were. A retired NASA engineer told me they were the camera lens covers used to protect the launch pad cameras. You can see in this video why they were needed. Cool Stuff!
Can we please keep the conversation to rockets in this video. You people are all the same. No matter what the video is, you always seem to end up talking about politics, religion and conspiracy theories.
@AlcoholLevel I didn't slowdown the footage, I found the vid (without sound) on YT and downloaded it & I added the soundtrack, only after did it seem to "fit". The launch was filmed using several high-speed cameras.
Last year I was able to save some copies of YouTube videos beause as they got played, they were downloaded by the system into individual files in the "temporary internet files" folder. But they have apparently done a software "upgrade" in which the videos seem to download into a database.
should give you a bit of an idea. they have nearly the same view for a few seconds, where the engines are started. that tranquil black smoke and flame that comes up and is then sucked down? Not even a second.
I know where in the height of a recession. And Project Constellation has been scraped. But I get the feeling if China puts a man on the Moon or atleast announces that it atleast plans to go to the Moon. With any luck it would re-ignite a 1950/60's style. Space Race. Only this time it will be between the USA and China. And Constellation will be reunstated.
Constellation. What a crap name. I would stuck with Greek theme of Apollo. And called Hercules.
Who seriously cares if china announces they put a man on the moon? The only legitimate reason to re-visit the moon would be to set up corporations on the moon to provide resources. A government won't just "do it" to show their might because the good 'ol US of A did it 50 years ago. I would like to see a re-visit.. don't get me wrong.. but there are much more important things going on down here. The future is in unmanned missions.. cheaper.. further.. and less dangerous. As sad as it may be..
I know you're right, but that is just so depressing. Sending another fucking probe to (insert name here) is about as exciting as watching the evening news. Full of information, but ultimately you are just sitting staring at a screen wishing you were somewhere else with something to do.
Good point. War does seem to be create the necessity of technology. The UK invented RADAR during the war. Hmm? Sad to think that war is the driving force that gives birth to so much good or greatness as you say. Or at least as you have pointed out, the drive behind the funding. Money makes the world go around. Maybe if oil were discovered on the Moon or Mars we might have been there long ago.
Von Braun was the worst kind of war criminal., He stuffed himself on his rocket man dreams while not giving a toss about the 30 or 40 THOUSAND slave workers who were worked to death making his bloody rockets. He was a full member of the SS and a senior officer. No excuses for the bastard please.
It was actually Americans that invented liquid-fueled rocketry in the first place. Google "Robert Goddard". Werner Von Braun himself based his early designs on copying Goddard's work.
Funny how you jealous Canadians say stupid shit like this. You say without Von Braun we'd be using sling shots... when without the US Canada wouldn't even exist. You've never invented anything of importance.
@punishr36 Um. Well... they don't deserve to be reprimanded, it wasn't that bad of a comment. It wasn't offensive or uncalled for, just kind of stupid. I've heard quite a few people say that exact same thing and it irritates me because it's so hilariously inaccurate, usually designed to rob the US of credit by deliberately rewriting history... so I kind of snapped.
@ladylejean215 The science excels itself with facts and NOT with theoretical ideas. It is not important if Goddard I use ideas of the Chinese, or if von braun of Goddard. The question is that von braun real made the tenuous primitive ideas of goddard. The technological developments in engineering rocket of von Braun is THE ONLY AND THE FIRST. Goddard was playing with small rockets that it was making, but von Braun that was the father of the project apollo of the fishnet, already tape
I doubt they will rebuild a Saturn V because of the huge costs and waste involved.
Only the tiny three man command module right ontop of the rocket ie the UFo shaped craft with parachutes we always see landing in the ocean returned from space.
The entire 365ft tall Saturn V was destroyed.
In today's cash strapped society NASA couldnot afford to be so wastefull as they were in the late 1967-72 era of Apollo.
I don't think that expendable rockets are necessarily wasteful. What matters is the overall cost, not what percentage of a rocket comes back. We've tried the reusable approach and found that it's not so cheap after all, nor is it acceptably safe.
You never heard his early rockets until they suddenly rained down and blew you and your London home out of existence.... I don't think he should rest entirely in peace!
Yes, dun. I am aware of that. But thats in the past. And you must admit he was a genius. Irregardless of what he did in the war. If he was British/American he would have done the same thing to Berlin . He died of Rectal Cancer btw. So maybe that was his cumupence.
@dunavuk Yes in fact he was jailed by the Gustapo for a while for saying it and almost faced execution. Von Braun wanted nothing to do with the war but it was something so unavoidable. War was everywhere and he was thrown into weather he liked it or not and was even forced to join the Nazi party. He had no problem with Jews and was friends with many of them before the war. Hitler screwed Germany up. They are a great nation of great people but were forced to follow the wrong maniac... continued.
@dunavuk ....America...my country has part of a shameful history also . Von Braun became an American and got to fulfill his dream of going to the Moon. Too bad Hitler wasn't killed in WW1 or maybe we might be colonizing Mars by now.
Would we though ? Was it not the war, as always, that accelerated technology, missiles, computers.
Without Hitler and WW2 would we have even got to the Moon? Would the funding have been there? Would Von Braun have been able to achieve what he did in a post WW1 Germany without it's military expansion due to Hitler?? Your last but one statement sums up America, you even use the two words ...American dream . Going to the Moon showed how great is your country.
This is amazing. Watch this one very carefully and you'll see a small object crossing the screen, bottom of left side. The object appears to be flying exactly at 2:18 and returns 3 second later. Really odd.
@spitfirepimpson Not the most powerful, the N1 had a good deal more thrust. Look up facts , the Saturn V is the most proven HUGE rocket ....Von Braun was a true rocket master and genius. His designs true workhorses.
BONGOMONKEY- go sit in a corner and spank you micro monkey- use the results to make a nice sauce to flavor your pot! ( BTW- never used it-ut I'm OK w/ legalizing it never tried it- ) You conspiracy nuts- get a job and a life!!!! BTW- a good friend of mine is a consiracy nut and you'd hit it off good. Still.... we landed on the moon- pure and simple- deal with it!
The US did NOT put a man on the moon, and there is NO god!
BTW, what does gop stand for?
Group of perverts? Gang of pedophiles? Gaggle of pederasts? Grand ol' psychopaths? God only poses? I could go on, but I'm having TOO much fun, and god wouldn't like that!
You're right, "Mars" does work here. The movie "The Right Stuff" also used parts of it for John Glenn's Mercury Atlas launch.
I've always been a little amazed that launch pads can survive these events. The movie cameras that took these clips were bolted down inside massive armored boxes. You wouldn't know it by how the whole image shakes when the Saturn starts to move.
after the mission was over the only part of the Saturn V to come back was the tiny command module...every other part of the rocket was used once and disgarded - what a waste of machinery and money!...if that were now the USA would never be able to afford to do that.
After Apollo, we TRIED to make a rocket that you didn't have to throw away after each mission. It was called the Space Shuttle. It was supposed to make space ultra-cheap and safe, and even replace all our other rockets for launching satellites. It met NONE of its promises. Now we're returning to the Apollo model for human spaceflight with Constellation, and I think it's the right thing to do.
The Space shuttle met plenty of its promises you fool. It was meant for orbital flights only. Never deep space. We are returning to Apollo type rockets because we want to return to the Moon and eventually mars.
Really? Promises like a launch rate of one per week? Launch costs 1/10 that of expendable rockets per kg? Payload costs would plummet because they could be brought back for repair instead of being overbuilt to last on their own? Launches into polar orbits? A reliability so great that there was no need for a launch escape system for the crew?
Remember how the shuttle was the STS (Space Transportation System) and all the expendable rockets became CELV (complementary expendable launch vehicles).
Guess which reigns supreme now? The Titan 3 was also supposed to be a high flight rate system also.
Exactly. What we need is cheap access to space. Cheap doesn't necessarily mean reusable hardware.
I think too much emphasis has been placed on booster reusability. Yes, a shuttle SRB is big, but it's basically just a steel pipe. I think the real key to an affordable lunar program is in-situ resource utilization. It seems silly to discard a perfectly good LM and build and launch another one all the way to the moon just because its tanks are empty.
Hate to say it but none of that is right. We werent trying to make a disposable rocket just to save money blah blah blah the SRB (Solid Rocket Booster) Was designed to be reusable to make the funds better for future endeavours in space and it was designed simply to carry cargo and to be MORE SAFE than the rockets not ULTRA SAFE so please keep the facts correct dont be like the news and the Orion project which will be used to reach the moon IS NOTHING LIKE THE SATURN Bless those who died in space
Huh? Are you saying that the shuttle greatly lowered launch costs?
That's how it was sold - to save money. The very name was chosen to suggest something routine and cheap. It was neither. It killed 14 people and lost two orbiters in only about 100 missions.
Given current rocket technology, the basic Apollo design is still a good way to put humans into space with reasonable safety. That's why Constellation is adopting it, with technological upgrades.
America! What the hell happened? We went from this to importing those tiny American flags made in Chinese factories because apparently we don't know how to make tiny American flags. WTF?
Ya !! Es tiempo De Que la humanidad Concentre Su Potencial Fisico Tecnologico, Y Economico Para Salir Del Planeta En Busca De Su Destino,Existen Un Sin Fin De Planetas Esperando Ser ConquIstados Y Colonisados.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The rocket was launched, but they never made it to the moon. in the Apollo XI press conference, Collins, Armstrong and Aldrin claimed they didn't see ANY star in ALL their mission. ¿why did they avoided mentioning stars? this is a key question. Google: Hufschmid, Apollo hoax, Bart Sibrel
Funny.. cause the Crew did several star fixes during the flight. Collins in particular had do do a number of star fixes while he was marking time in orbit at the moon.. so dunno where you and Hufschmid got your story from?
It took three brave men to srtap themselves into a module less than thirteen feet square ontop of a 33 storey rocket which STILL remains the greatest manmade firework ever to be lauched.
To stand alongside a Sturn V Space rocket with nearly 3000 tons of fuel aboard was and still remains mans greatest achievement.
We only have to see what happened to those poor souls onboard the Space Shuttle Columbia to see what could have happened.
Many think the launch was real but they looped the earth a bunch of times and then just came home and also felt sick from radiation on this flight or waas that another...
All that crap in the description about the music, and I muted it after 20 seconds lol.

Here's the dream scanario.
I know where in the height of a recession. And Project Constellation has been scraped. But I get the feeling if China puts a man on the Moon or atleast announces that it atleast plans to go to the Moon. With any luck it would re-ignite a 1950/60's style. Space Race. Only this time it will be between the USA and China. And Constellation will be reunstated.
Constellation. What a crap name. I would stuck with Greek theme of Apollo. And called Hercules.
JONNOG88 1 year ago
Who seriously cares if china announces they put a man on the moon? The only legitimate reason to re-visit the moon would be to set up corporations on the moon to provide resources. A government won't just "do it" to show their might because the good 'ol US of A did it 50 years ago. I would like to see a re-visit.. don't get me wrong.. but there are much more important things going on down here. The future is in unmanned missions.. cheaper.. further.. and less dangerous. As sad as it may be..

Good point. War does seem to be create the necessity of technology. The UK invented RADAR during the war. Hmm? Sad to think that war is the driving force that gives birth to so much good or greatness as you say. Or at least as you have pointed out, the drive behind the funding. Money makes the world go around. Maybe if oil were discovered on the Moon or Mars we might have been there long ago.

@barthoedemaker
Von Braun was the worst kind of war criminal., He stuffed himself on his rocket man dreams while not giving a toss about the 30 or 40 THOUSAND slave workers who were worked to death making his bloody rockets. He was a full member of the SS and a senior officer. No excuses for the bastard please.

It was actually Americans that invented liquid-fueled rocketry in the first place. Google "Robert Goddard". Werner Von Braun himself based his early designs on copying Goddard's work.

What a visionary, can you believe he drew up the Saturn V as early as 1945.
JONNOG88 2 years ago 2
@JONNOG88
I doubt they will rebuild a Saturn V because of the huge costs and waste involved.
Only the tiny three man command module right ontop of the rocket ie the UFo shaped craft with parachutes we always see landing in the ocean returned from space.
The entire 365ft tall Saturn V was destroyed.
In today's cash strapped society NASA couldnot afford to be so wastefull as they were in the late 1967-72 era of Apollo.
llandudnoboy 2 years ago
I don't think that expendable rockets are necessarily wasteful. What matters is the overall cost, not what percentage of a rocket comes back. We've tried the reusable approach and found that it's not so cheap after all, nor is it acceptably safe.

And was it he who said that his early rockets landed on the wrong planet? I think it was...
dunavuk 2 years ago
@dunavuk Yes in fact he was jailed by the Gustapo for a while for saying it and almost faced execution. Von Braun wanted nothing to do with the war but it was something so unavoidable. War was everywhere and he was thrown into weather he liked it or not and was even forced to join the Nazi party. He had no problem with Jews and was friends with many of them before the war. Hitler screwed Germany up. They are a great nation of great people but were forced to follow the wrong maniac... continued.
whathoney73 1 year ago
@dunavuk ....America...my country has part of a shameful history also . Von Braun became an American and got to fulfill his dream of going to the Moon. Too bad Hitler wasn't killed in WW1 or maybe we might be colonizing Mars by now.

Would we though ? Was it not the war, as always, that accelerated technology, missiles, computers.
Without Hitler and WW2 would we have even got to the Moon? Would the funding have been there? Would Von Braun have been able to achieve what he did in a post WW1 Germany without it's military expansion due to Hitler?? Your last but one statement sums up America, you even use the two words ...American dream . Going to the Moon showed how great is your country.

Dear All,
I have some questions about sociology and culture:
(1) Why do we have a preception that aerospace is closely related to America?
(2) Is that because Amercans' culture of freedom?
(4) Why do Americans love flying so much that they put lots of money and effort on research?
I would guess that it is about Americans' values including hard working, creative, bravery to chanllenge, freedom, and liberty.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

You're right, "Mars" does work here. The movie "The Right Stuff" also used parts of it for John Glenn's Mercury Atlas launch.
I've always been a little amazed that launch pads can survive these events. The movie cameras that took these clips were bolted down inside massive armored boxes. You wouldn't know it by how the whole image shakes when the Saturn starts to move.

After Apollo, we TRIED to make a rocket that you didn't have to throw away after each mission. It was called the Space Shuttle. It was supposed to make space ultra-cheap and safe, and even replace all our other rockets for launching satellites. It met NONE of its promises. Now we're returning to the Apollo model for human spaceflight with Constellation, and I think it's the right thing to do.
philkarn 2 years ago 2
The Space shuttle met plenty of its promises you fool. It was meant for orbital flights only. Never deep space. We are returning to Apollo type rockets because we want to return to the Moon and eventually mars.
NJRocks281 2 years ago
Really? Promises like a launch rate of one per week? Launch costs 1/10 that of expendable rockets per kg? Payload costs would plummet because they could be brought back for repair instead of being overbuilt to last on their own? Launches into polar orbits? A reliability so great that there was no need for a launch escape system for the crew?
Do you get my point?
philkarn 2 years ago 2
Remember how the shuttle was the STS (Space Transportation System) and all the expendable rockets became CELV (complementary expendable launch vehicles).
Guess which reigns supreme now? The Titan 3 was also supposed to be a high flight rate system also.
artwleb 2 years ago
Exactly. What we need is cheap access to space. Cheap doesn't necessarily mean reusable hardware.
I think too much emphasis has been placed on booster reusability. Yes, a shuttle SRB is big, but it's basically just a steel pipe. I think the real key to an affordable lunar program is in-situ resource utilization. It seems silly to discard a perfectly good LM and build and launch another one all the way to the moon just because its tanks are empty.
ApolloWasReal 2 years ago
Hate to say it but none of that is right. We werent trying to make a disposable rocket just to save money blah blah blah the SRB (Solid Rocket Booster) Was designed to be reusable to make the funds better for future endeavours in space and it was designed simply to carry cargo and to be MORE SAFE than the rockets not ULTRA SAFE so please keep the facts correct dont be like the news and the Orion project which will be used to reach the moon IS NOTHING LIKE THE SATURN Bless those who died in space
Insommnniac 2 years ago
Huh? Are you saying that the shuttle greatly lowered launch costs?
That's how it was sold - to save money. The very name was chosen to suggest something routine and cheap. It was neither. It killed 14 people and lost two orbiters in only about 100 missions.
Given current rocket technology, the basic Apollo design is still a good way to put humans into space with reasonable safety. That's why Constellation is adopting it, with technological upgrades.
