Hot, very hot: Saturn V launchpad at T -0 seconds

DateSaturday, April 24, 2010 at 6:46PM

Apocalyptic & beautiful...

This clip is raw from Camera E-8 on the launch umbilical tower/mobile launch program of Apollo 11, July 16, 1969. This is an HD transfer from the 16mm original.

The camera is running at 500 fps, making the total clip of over 8 minutes represent just 30 seconds of actual time. Narration is provided by Mark Gray (me), Executive Producer for Spacecraft Films.
