why would they launch in a thundershower?

I’ve never seen that footage from E5-203 before, from about 16:25 it looks like it’s picked Skylab up after it’s gone through the cloud layer. Had “the anomaly” occurred before then?

Hey Countdown, do you have any launch footage of Apollo 6 the AS-502 second unmanned Saturn V launch vehicle?

Couldn't see much after the Saturn V went into the clouds. But what fascinating footage of the last Saturn V launch....WOW!

First time seeing As-201.

Spactacular! The same way I watch these videos. With e classical music. Keep em coming.

Awesome as always.

The magnificent success of Apollo 11 gave NASA the overconfidence to launch 12 into any kind of weather, and they got bit.

Watching the tracking shots and thinking “Are we finally going to see it happen?” But sadly no! 😁

This channel is killing it. Doing the good work by scraping the NARA archives for the primo stuff.

Very cool... Never seen this footage before. Thanks!

🤩🤩🤩

Wow... Never seen this footage before...Thank you for the upload!

This angle is an obvious hit or miss on different launches. The ones from Apollo 8, Apollo 11(?) and this one are the best as far as the engine startup goes. The Apollo 16 one is amazing for seeing the engines going full-thrust with monstrous white pillars of fire before liftoff.

In the words of the top “space” entertainer, Elon: “it’s looks so fake; it’s gotta be real!”

This the best Apollo 13 launch film I've ever seen, It's stunning, and edited brilliantly. After watching the 2019 Apollo 11 restored documentary without any narration was made, I was hoping there'd be more documentaries. I believe that all of the Apollo missions could be put together in the same restored documentary format. Because Each of the Missions were unique, and became longer and more science and geology was conducted, And generally people don't know much about the other missions and the astronauts. They need to be remembered and celebrated for their greatest achievements. Cheers from Australia.

way underrated video 1 million view count style editing and choreography

Oh wow!

What some people don't realize is that when the Saturn V took men to the moon there were many preceding test flights. Thanks for posting!!

Thanks!

The Saturn V was a magnificent launch vehicle!! I never get tired of watching these launches. Thanks for posting!!

I have always liked watching the flames climbing up and spreading out on the first stage as they encountered less atmosphere and drag.

MAR T - 8

Wow, you can see Jim and Fred’s wives dressed just like in the movie.

The first manned mission with a lunar lander.

Best look I've seen at the controlled release mechanism.

Great footage!

Surely it is either a static fire or a launch. "Static Launch" is an Oxymoron.

I watched it live! I was 8 years old.

We'll never have footage quite this beautiful again, as they aren't ever going to go back to using actual film for launch cameras. We'll have great shots in digital clarity, like the Starship 4 reentry, but these vintage films have a quality all of their own.

I look forward to this, SA-6 was the first Saturn I Block II launch with a boilerplate Apollo spacecraft and amongst the test goals of the flight was testing the LES's jettison rocket-motor (The pitch and abort rocket-motors had an inert propellant filling).

How many times is this slowed down?

Had to make a small correction. Camera E-51 is actually at the 320 foot level of the LUT and not the 360 foot level. Just fixed it in the description.

Incredible! Did they fake that too? I think not. They just did it. Just like the pyramids.

Yeah, baby! Awesome footage.

A thing of Beauty

C'est bien ce que tu fais. Et tu devrais remettre en montage tous les angles des décollages des missions Apollo. Alors continue et je soutiens ta chaîne RUclips 😇😇😇

Wow. Thank you for sharing this! Project Apollo fascinated me as a child, and it has never lost its grip on me now that I am all-too-quickly becoming an old man. I have always found something a bit melancholy about these stage separation films. You see the discarded stage fall away and drift off, while the rest of the rocket keeps going: "Goodbye. Have a nice trip to the moon. Just... go one without me."

The fact that they had ejectable and reentry proof and recoverable film cameras is a testament to the unimaginably complex program. The music adds to the magic of it all.

Nice video, thanks for researching, compiling and sharing. This fulfils my daily NASA geek quota! 🙂

Eight pods were fitted to flights, but there were losses when either the harness and eject system failed or the pod left the stage and wasn't recovered, The three-point spraying you see is the S-IVB fuel system venting as it copes with ullage and pressure changes. Pretty sure there are also films shot inside fuel tanks to record sloshing and inertia effects, The familiar A4 skirt separation film is almost always seen in slow-motion, whereas the actual event is extremely fast on an accelerating vehicle. Pods were timed between the flight time-bases and the multiple abort points, with the computer ensuring that at ullage and staging the vehicle trajectory was stable and straight, irrespective of course positioning. This was key at skirt-sep because the boost sequence timing also had to ensure the skirt didn't immediately cant over into an engine bell.

I always “Gulp!” when the camera jettisons in any of these films, it also feels like you’re hanging on to it!

3:06 - That has to be one of the most iconic staging events from the Apollo programme.
