Estes Saturn V launch on Apollo 11 50th Anniversary July 16, 2019

Estes scale model 1:200 Saturn V (pre-assembled) launch, shot with a GoPro 7 in 720p/240 fps mode. A gust of wind just before launch tilted my homemade launchpad, so it looks like a Saturn V being launched in an earthquake!

Nice launch but I had tears in my eyes watching the "tower" sway in the wind and the "pad" tip at the last second!

Your Walter Cronkite impersonation was pretty good!

[@justrelaxing1501]

Perfect, just like when I was a kid when all the fins on my rocket fell off at liftoff. The rocket spun around a million times and finally smashed into the ground. I laughed as this one barely made it off the launch pad before falling over. Hey, it's still fun.

I did an Apollo 11 anniversary launch on that same day. Thats also the last rocket launch I did. But I launched the larger 1:100 scale version from estes.

Awesome launch. Remember that day long ago. And days later man stepping foot on the moon.

Single stage. Rocket clearly lopsided. F-

The one I had 57 years ago I think had 5 engines.......B6-4’s

You had to slow down the video because that model rocket launches very fast.
