Also, it seems like the video is slightly behind the sound on this one. Staging occurs a couple of seconds after it is announced, and it also appears to break the speed of sound and pass through maximum dynamic pressure slightly later than other videos. regardless, it's an excellent video...i just wish that part where the camera loses sight of the rocket due to intense sun glare wasn't there.
Am I the only one who sees a bird approaching the rocket from the right just seconds before the engines are fired up? I would imagine that bird ended up either permanently deaf or possibly suffocated in the fumes of the rocket...I would think that being right next to a Saturn V, or for that matter any rocket when it lifts off is an almost certain guarantee of permanent hearing loss or death. If the shuttle was loud, which I know it was, I can only imagine how loud a Saturn V had to have been.
The fact that there are people at the top of that rocket is just incredible. I really wich I was born 40 years earlier so I could have lived to see this!
@sail027li As much as I disagree with the space shuttle being crap, I have to agree with RCKTBOY7 that the shuttle is shit compared to the Saturn V rocket. The Saturn V is the largest and most powerful rocket ever built even to this day. The engines of its first stage alone were 1.2 million more pounds greater in thrust than the shuttle with all of its engines and its two assisting rockets on launch combined. However, the shuttle's accomplishment was its ability to be reused.
never seen a condinsation cloud like that, holy crap.

@bonan960623 It was incredible - I watched it on TV (I was 7), and it remains one of the most magnificent sights I've ever seen.

The speed that rocket achieves in 3 minutes is incredible..nearly two statute miles per second!
