I remember the days, and am thankful I got to ride on a saturn v known as apollo 17.  I'm also on some pain meds and wish I could ride it, :-)

@irish89055 How the hell did this jackass get a top comment? The people working on the space shuttle were not "clowns", they were very qualified people who were very good at what they did and ended up giving the shuttles a higher success rate than the Saturn V's. Oh and Cronkite rules.

What a beautiful image at 1:58 when the U.S. Flag enters the frame! This launch turned into history. Thanks for sharing this.

Considering the sorry shape this country is in right now, I'm grateful that I was able to see all this as it happened. When President Kennedy said America would get to the moon we WENT to the moon, even though we had no idea how we'd get there.

I wish I wasn't an infant the last time a Saturn V rocket launched, but I can't help thinking of the very early days of MTV whenever I see a launch like this.
