Cool footage of Apollo 11

We've had the video of the behind the scenes cameras from the Shuttle launches, but I'd never before seen this video from the Saturn V with interesting commentary.

If you haven't seen the shuttle video, it's very impressive as well.

WOW!

I have been having a dream since I was a kid that I was standing on the platform watching the Satyurn V launch. I am under the 5 nozzles looking up.

Unbelievable power. I still get the chills after all these years.

Thanks for sharing.

Here's one with real audio. I'd love to have seen one of these launch. Maybe the SLS will give me a reason to visit Florida.

The "full" Constellation will have a lot more power than the Saturn V did (a little less than a million pounds of thrust more, and more than a half million more pounds than the shuttle).

Hopefully will not get killed due to budget - about 4-5 years away from operational launch testing (manned). They're now saying early 2018.

I really hope to be able to get down to KSC for that one.

Very cool. I used to see it come in to FL on the back of the 747 sometimes back when I was doing flight training in FL. Always a treat to see that from the air. We used to shoot practice approaches into the shuttle landing strip pretty regularly too - damn big runway. I've often wondered how many touch-and-goes I could've done in it's 15,000' length (probably at least six or seven), but we never got authorization to actually land / t&g - had to be "low approach" only. Still fun.

That all has to be fake since we faked the moon landings!

Back in the early and mid 1960s before Apollo my dad was part of the Air Force Presentation Team. He went all of the country giving speeches with several other Air Force officers about the coming moon landings and "state of the art" airplanes.

One of the lines in his speech was something like "One day soon you will sit in front of your TV and watch hand held color video as Man walks on the moon."

Lots of people did not believe it then. If you have ever seen the size of TV cameras in those days of the early 1960s they were HUGE and rolled around a studio only. Almost everything outside was shot on film and transferred to video.

When I was in the 5th grade for show and tell I presented my dad and a team of officers with movies that the entire school watched in the auditorium. They had great films of the early days of rockets blowing up at launch. And then he told the crown how we were going to land men on the moon. Yea, RIGHT!

Do you have a link to the pictures of the aliens they saw when they got there?
