One of the most haunting things I ever watched and heard. The Qatsis, Chronos, Baraka... such masterpieces !

"Opening" shows a close-up of the Saturn V rocket from the Apollo 12 mission during liftoff. "Ending" shows stock footage of a rocket lifting off and then exploding. (The film is actually two separate events — the first moments of the launch is a Saturn V rocket, while the rocket shown clearing the tower and later exploding is the first Atlas-Centaur, which was launched on May 8, 1962). The footage follows a flaming rocket engine as it plummets to earth.

@818ironmaiden I think it was an early Atlas-Centaur rocket. The movie is from 1982 btw.

@botticelli375 wasnt that the "Challenger" that blew up on January 28, 1986 that was shown in the film?

@botticelli375 pretty good botticelli, Saturn 5 launch, how did you know the date of the Atlas launch? I would say it could be 62 or a bit earlier in 60 or 61 when they Atlas's were still failing in tests, though others failed in later years... it may have been detonated by range safety deliberately.. The Atlas went on to have a 40 year sucessful program.. I love how this was used when I first saw this on PBS in the 80's..

I once bought the LP for the sake of the title track. Now I´m way much older and this is really breathtaking - the clips from the movie with the music and all.
