Launch of Apollo 11 (from Gantry)

An atomic bomb has a decibel level of 245

The shockwave from the sound alone could kill you.

ArmoredPanther, it is possible to use in 2017, after Launch Complex 39A is modified, to use a Saturn V, the Ares V is bigger than the Saturn V.

The US govt. said "All rightey, done with that!" and took away all NASA's funding (there was supposed to be Apollo 18,19 and 20) and put it into a little country called Vietnam. Same thing is happening today with Iraq. Now pass me a milkshake, please

what u wanta go deaf? really, the only thing louder than that is a Nuclear Wepon

The only thing louder than the Saturn V rocket is a nuclear bomb going off!

Despite a widespread belief to the contrary, the Saturn V blueprints have not been lost. They are kept at Marshall Space Flight Center on microfilm.

The problem in re-creating the Saturn V is not finding the drawings, it is finding vendors who can supply mid-1960's vintage hardware (like guidance system components), and the fact that the launch pads and VAB have been converted to Space Shuttle use, so you have no place to launch from.

Awsome stuff, I wish I was there to see it. The birth of space exploration.

My guess is because they got to the moon, and once they did that, they were like "Woo hoo, mission accomplished, lets all go out for some frosty chocolate milkshakes."

PLEASE DON'T READ THIS!!!!! in 1964 13 year old Elisa Johnson was raped and murdered in North Carolina, her body was found with multiple stab wounds, and now that you've read this, every night she will come to your house and hang from your closet with glowing red eyes, the only way to stop this is to post this to 10 other videos

BubbaUK, the answer is easy. We have to spend more and more money on social programs like welfare and all the other bullshit programs that keep people dependent on a bloated govt. It's very sad because back then the computers they used to control the spacecraft can now be found sitting on your desk. Computing power I mean, so just think how far modern technology would take us.

I wonder why all the apollo missions were from 1967 to 1973. Why didnt they continue the lunar missions till today like the shuttle-space missions

Ok ok, but I`m still impressed by Astronauts.

It never impresses me what they say in programs. I'd rather see an objective test. Sure formula 1 drivers and pilots have certain skills, but usually it's because of 2000+ hours of experience rather than genetic talent. Astronauts used to be recruited from a pool of test pilots because they were used to fly new stuff, that's your best approach for a qualified employee to fly a metal cigar.

Saw a program, where it was said that Formula 1-drivers are amazingly quick and bright etc, fighter-pilots allmost unhuman... What about those guys on the top of Saturn 5..?

id love to explain it, only i fear that ill be here for several years

about what?

Rent the movie for sound.

I don't think this is Apollo 11; the video looks too crisp; might be Apoloo 13

As I understand it, von Braun had the aim set on the Moon all along, even when he had to design rockets for the Nazis.

lol and whats ironic is that Von Braun was the engineer behind hitlers V2 rocket program... makes you think

Yes, from V2 to Saturn 5, Wernher von Braun.

Where's the sound?

Beautiful. Thanks for posting.
