Saturn V Launch Views - High Speed Cams

An absolutely remarkable feat of human engineering. Wonderful video.

What about the wheel...? Or penicillin? They're pretty momentous.

What is the music on this?

A very spectacular video. I've also seen it many times. Arguing about money spent on this program is like saying we should have used less coal during the industrial revolution. Space exploration is our future. Increasing seed diversity doesn't need much money, and should be done as well. The argument is useless. The wasted money that went up in flames due to lack of regulation on Wall Street in the last two years would have been enough to colonize Mars.....and increase seed diversity.

the point of coal is exactly what you should understand is what my whole point is about. just because something works doesn't mean we should justgo ahead. every engineer knows this. if you build an inferior system and use your resources in doing so you are stuck with that system ( such systems are even dangerous and non reversable) If apollos money was spent on plasma drive, today you been on mars in 50 days or less at 1/10 the cost of chemical rockets. Apollo was an expensive mistake

@9nine91 werent plasma drives created specifically to travel in space? the initial thrust from required to launch a rocket into space cannot be done through plasma drives it has too low of a thrust to weight ratio. Although I agree with you that we should have invested money into researching and creating plasma drives I am pretty sure it is necessary to have the initial thrusters to launch the rocket into space before we utilize the plasma drive.

I normally despise the human race for all the wrong things we do, and when I feel the worst I just watch this video, it brings a tear to my eye and has the power to bring me faith in our people. Maybe, after all, we may be worth saving

This is, 200 million Horse Power lifting , the most powerful machine ever created

AWESOME! I have seen it a million times and I never tire of it!
