Apollo 11 Saturn V Launch (HD) Camera E-8
I have always liked looking at the stars and dreaming about going into space. I wish we had continued the amazing strides that we made when we landed on the moon. So it has always been very interesting to me. I found this video at petapixel.com it shows the Apollo 11 launch in super slow motion with an explanation of what is happening.
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. Even more excellent footage is available on our DVDs at our website at http://www.spacecraftfilms.com
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.
