I was sitting on the seawall on the other side of the river for this, about 10 miles away. I could see the sonic blast from this travel across the water to me in the light of the missile, but you felt it first through the ground. This lit the sky up from horizon to horizon like orange daylight and you could feel your innards rattle from the noise. I skipped whatever school was required to see every Saturn launch they did, as I figured it was better to witness history than study it. Good call

In 1972, I was 10 years old. My mom worked for NASA and got tickets to attend this launch. I was there! To this day it is one of the memories that I can still visualize in my mind. Seeing this video enabled me to relive this memory all overy again - thanks!

They should rebuild and launch the saturn 5 so we can add todays modern hardware to it and also have some kickass HD filming.

Love the on-board crew recordings: they really cheer me up, and they sound so heavy under high Gs, the first time I have heard that kind of thing. Came around here, I think, due to a Gemini 6 Atlas-Agena failure coverage video, c/o CBS News: been doing my best Walter Cronkheit voice all day. You are a great inspiration for YT membership names, too. Thanks again for your Apollolove. Out. Feet wet out here, too, one of rare SCalif rains.

@JMChladek I heard the same thing. I don't think it was quite gallows humor as they were in pressure suits that would have kept them alive had the cabin not sealed, giving them time to work the problem. But it would have been impossible to have a normal mission without a sealed cabin.
The chuckling might have been because he was supposed to make the call earlier but forgot.
-
"BTW, the cabin sealed" LOL. I think that was just something of a gallows humor reference to maybe they should have checked that earlier (making sure the cabin pressure was at about 5 psi, flight pressure). It is nice to hear Ron Evans being the wide eyed CMP on his first flight (Jack is chatting too, but not quite as much).

I'd like to be able to see if there is full news coverage of Apollo 17.

@ lunarmodule5 ... thanks for including the audio from the crew in this video. I agree with many other post here that it is tremendous. I'm also curious as to what that joke at 7:13 was all about. Inside joke obviously, and the mention of it sure had the crew laughing. They sound like they were having a good time !

@ccblack1 You are welcome - glad you liked the video! I will try and do the same for the other apollo launches when I get time!

The audio sounds like it's coming from the CM's tape recorder. We hear the astronauts talking to each other and Houston as they heard them over the radio. The uplink Quindar tones sound distorted and weak because their only intended function was to mute the uplink when the Capcom wasn't talking, so they were (partially, in this case) notched out at the uplink transmitter.

@ApolloWasReal - As I explained on the description......the audio is the countdown as would have been heard on the networks via NASA to T-0 then I have added in the on board voice recorder as I think it adds a new dimension to the launch sequence. Hope that helps!
