Well said Lenny! I just turned 2 and wish I had the experience you had. I can never watch the launches enough and never find enough power in a sound system to replicate the feeling I am sure you and million other people felt on that day July 16th 1969. I agree with you it’s the single greatest accomplishment in human history.
@@markp.9707 Well, you have another chance come 2024 when NASA's Project Constellation will be sending astronauts to the moon and hopefully we will both be around to see men step foot on Mars.
@ThomasG10mtn Don't worry, the 2024 plan is a pipe dream. It was just Trump making noise. The Chinese will be there next before the Yanks. You can adjust your conspiracy paranoia then to deal with that. Unless, of course, you also think China is a hoax, and nothing exists other than a flat "Murrica floating in the void with Uncle Sam watching from above.
Such a thrill to watch again. I worked as a software engineer for IBM, a contractor to NASA, at the Kennedy Space Center and can remember the incredible launch experience watching the liftoff from 3 miles away from my perch on the side of the VAB, where I worked.
I am a great fan from the Apollo Missions, I was 14 years those days. Great to hear you was there at KSC as software engineer. I admire this great project in history. Al, you was privileged those days to be part of the team. Kind regards, Ed Bouwman from the Netherlands.
Panther74 Escaping It was my very first model I ever did and when I put glue to the little thruster rockets that are on the side one of those slid down a bit before drying causing the four and a half foot model to appear bent , so I had to rotate the whole rocket so the bent pointed to the rear so you can't tell by observing straight on from the front. Gravity had its day even on that small part and this was long before Houston we got a problem..
Not many things in life impress me , but the Saturn V rocket leaves me stunned. I once stood near the airstrip at Beale AFB and had a SR-71 Blackbird fly over me to come in for a landing , that dropped my jaw as well.
it suddenly occurs to me due to the comment bij bigrigJim : The coolest peaces of equipment (Saturn 5, SR71) were designed and built in a time where Computer Aided Design was virtually non-existent!!! Of course, there were computers : The programming that was required there was real programming : Every bit and byte needed to be accounted for like weight on a rocket.
@@merijn0301 I grew up in the era, but remain impressed by what could be accomplished and fully understood in a few thousand bytes. We have no ability to replicate that simplicity and coding precision today.
I was there! My Dad worked at NASA back then and was a higher up that got us access to one of the lesser VIP sections. We had a second home on Anna Maria Island, Florida and I remember driving from there across the state in our brand new red '69 Mustang 428cj fastback. It was my brother's birthday but I was the only kid that was thrilled about it. I've been to space shuttle launches watching from Cocoa Beach, but DAMN the Apollo was so much louder.Yeah, being closer made it louder, but I would think it would still be louder if I sat in the same spot for both launches. What a memory
RIP Michael Collins. Mike may have never walked on the moon but with the Apollo 11 mission he certainly was part of a history making event.. God's speed mike 👍
When the world was simpler, we were able to achieve really complex feats. Sadly today over 50 years later it seems impossible to repeat these amazing feats. We are de-evolving!
We're less willing to accept risk as we once were, technical systems are vastly more complex than they used to be, costs for everything have skyrocketed, the political will and impetus is no longer there, and the public interest has waned. I'm surprised that the Artemis program has even gotten as far as it has, in today's climate.
@Raw Space don't be so sure. It's just T minus away, we are in preliminary stages and our goals are way beyond the Moon distance of about 238,000 miles. Sincerely, we are going to Mars, cynicism will be left to the cynics. I believe more strongly today this is truly a mission in the works, in my lifetime or so, we are targeting Mars and we will get there and safely home again.
One of the tracking cameras from around that time ended up on ebay for about $33,000. but even those dont even hold a sparkler to the modern tracking cameras.
Curious Droid has a really interesting video on NASA's cameras. What gets me is that the Apollo and even early shuttle launches were filmed before the introduction of electronic tracking and stabilisation. That 30 mile range shot of the staging was done by a person!
What is also interesting is that Clyde Tombaugh (discoverer of Pluto) developed some of the tracking and optical technology when he worked at White Sands AFB in the 1950s.
I watched this live in 1969 at the cape with my parents. The roar of the engines are unreal and it felt like someone beating on your chest. Still have pictures of the launch made off slide photography.
I remember all of the Apollo missions. We visited Cape Kennedy a few weeks before Apollo 11 blasted off. My uncle worked at Grumman with the team that designed the life support systems for the LEM.
I had just turned 9 years old and this was huge, everything came to a stop, wether you watched on tv or listened to radio broadcast it's one of those moments I'll never forget. Thanks for video. 🙏🇺🇸
Amazing - close to 49 years since I first watched this launch, and I still found myself clenching fists and holding my breath, willing that thing aloft.
All over the world! Even TV wasn't in every world household back then and all over Eastern Europe, even the USSR, people watched from storefront windows. My wife & I were between 9th & 10th grade in high school. Oh what a mighty time!
C Walden Whilst I find your comment almost too intellectually overwhelming can I suggest that the rocket appears to pass through the cirrocumulus cloud layer at 105 seconds. You being of course an intellectual will know that cirrocumulus clouds are found at 25-30000 feet. At 105 seconds the rocket was reported as being nearly 80000 feet. My question is: Why are NASA fans so aggressively defensive?
@@johnmaclean8136 You're full of it, as usual. First off, the cloud layer you're referring to isn't even seen in this video. At 105 seconds all we see is the view from the infrared camera. The clouds you're talking about can be seen in another video, but at 64s, not 105s: czcams.com/video/qT2sN7Oe7JA/video.htmlm35s Here is the timeline of the linked video. 12:40 (T - 0) Launch 13:35 (T + 55s) Altitude 2 miles (per commentator) 13:43 (T + 63s) Rocket visibly breaks the sound barrier 13:44 (T + 64s) Rocket punches through thin cloud layer 13:51 (T + 71s) Altitude 4 miles (per commentator) 14:25 (T + 105s) No clouds At T + 64s, the rocket was almost 3 miles high (~15500 feet). That falls within the "alto" cloud stratum, rather than the "cirrus" cloud stratum above 20k feet. Furthermore, "cumulus" clouds are lumpy or fluffy by definition. The clouds we see in this video are best described as a very thin altostratus layer. Incidentally, the timing of the rocket passing through the cloud layer at 64 seconds also corresponds within ~3 seconds to the view from the uncut tracking camera video, linked here: czcams.com/video/p8fLjC3gNTk/video.html *In summary, you're wrong on the timing, you're wrong on the rocket's altitude, and you're wrong on your cloud classification.*
the difference between half-assed research and full research. our pal John read that clouds were at a certain height and saw clouds were in the video but at a different height. Raw Space knew enough to determine they were in fact a different cloud layer. Well done @Raw Space
I wish i could’ve experienced this. Hopefully i will get to see the Artemis mission in 2024. Can’t wait! But nothing compares seeing this historical launch.
I saw Apollo 15 in person. The sight, the sound, and the feeling of the power is something I have never forgot. There is nothing more breathtaking and spectacular.
Hi people, I was a drafted airborne infantry soldier, landed in Burn HOA air base, Saigon Viet Nam on Jan 03, 1968. In August 1969 I was in my second year of being stationed in camp Eagle, Hue, Viet Nam. I was in the Ash u Valley on a patrol when Apollo 11 launched. We didn't know it happened. Three weeks later while in base camp Eagle, I was able to read about the historic event in the Stars and Stripes papers. We were told about it by pilots and crewmen on our supply choppers. It was an historical mission and I was amazed to read about it. I left the 101 camp Eagle on November 30th 1969. I just today watched the entire mission from launch to splash own on youtube. I'm 76 yrs old and the entire Apollo mission still gave me goosebumps! Those brave men flew to the moon in what I call tin cans. And back home. All of our astronauts had huge cohonnies!! The Saturn 5 was astounding huge, and American made!! Proud of them God Bless America!!!!
I agree with you 100 % on that Jack King was by far the best person ever to call a rocket launch such as the mighty Saturn V. There has been no one yet who's come close to Jack King could do it. In fact I'd say today people seem to lack of any kind of effort in calling a good count down of launch verical that's why I called Jack King the count down king.
@@billjensen401 I was 4. Mostly I remember my father pushing me down in front of the TV. "Watch this. It's history!" I was mesmerized a couple of days later when Mr. Armstrong stepped off the ladder. Thanks Dad for your persistence.
I am a physicist and part of our contract is out reach work at schools. The kids in school love everything to do with space and they ask question after question after question about it. The questions are always about other planets and aliens though! When I ask them about the moon landings it is something they take for granted. They accept that we have been to the moon but lots of them think that we go there all the time. They are amazed when they find out that only 12 people have walked on tbe moon. The younger ones sometimes ask if I was one of those people, they can be very sweet. I tell them no bit it is my only regret in life that I wasn't there to watch the moon landings on TV. It must've been magical. There must have been a split second when the whole world momentarily forgot all of their differences and disagreements. There would have been the briefest of moments when no one cared if people were black or white, gay or straight, left or right, male or female, Christian or Muslim or any other damned division that plights our species today. For the briefest of instances the world was transfixed on the image of a human being performing an act of magnificent bravery, creativity and wonderment. For that fleeting time humanity must have felt connected as a single species, entranced by what we can achieve. How wonderful and how lucky you were to be there.
Amazing to relive the excitement - I was a teenager in 1969. Even more amazing is there are folks that refuse to believe this happened. It happened, move on. Incredible technology and effort to make Apollo 11 a reality. Thanks for posting.
Thru Apollo 17(13 had an emergency landing) 6 times to the Moon and back... truly incredible feat. Now they can't even get the spacesuit right 🤷♂️ but they should in due time
I watched this in real time! I was 8 years old! I woke up on a beautiful sunny July morning and walked out to see all of my siblings watching this on our color TV! To those that say it "never happened." screw you! You weren't even alive yet!!!
I highly recommend visiting Johnson Space Center in Houston. There is a complete, un-flown Saturn V rocket in a massive shed, and you can go into mission control.
The summer of 69' was probably one of the best of the last century. It was a few years shy of me being born but so much happened that year at least in the United States. Apollo was an ambitious project that pushed the limits in so many ways. It was only 66 years after the Wright Brothers first flight , had to be an incredable time for those alive who were alive for both events.
Most powerful rocket ever launched. And this, nearly 50 years ago. Still unmatched today. Proof of American superiority in space travel/technology. Awe inspiring, beautiful. God bless.
The most powerful rocket ever launched - successfully. The Soviet N1 Moon rocket was far more powerful, but was too complicated. Each of the four test flights lasted right up to the explosion.
Yes, you’ve got SLS, Starship and other heavy rockets to get you out there. Of course, they are significantly more technologically advanced than the Saturn V, but take my word: nothing will defeat the beauty of the Saturn V lifting off the pad.
@@louisrobitaille5810 For me actually the boosters landing in synch ist the most beautiful thong… and when super heavy get caught by mechazilla for the first time it will be incredible
Wonderful people, technicians, scientists, controllers, planners, all of whom made all the astronauts world famous. The most marvellous time to have been a teenager. Though a Brit I am so proud to have lived through these historic and truly riveting times. I thank you all for your contribution to the world of science and space travel. May god bless you all!
Can we stop and just take a moment to honor everyone who worked on the historic rocket that was Saturn V? And also the historic commentary, "3..2..1..0.. All engines running! Liftoff, we have a liftoff! 32 minutes past the hour! Liftoff on Apollo 11!" I just really enjoy the enthusiasm and just plain joy that he has.
I am now a 69 year old man and remember this day as if it were yesterday, as an 18 year old the principal of our aeronautical college took all aeronautical students into the TV room telling us on this day you will see history being made we sat there amazed, a few days later my dad burst into my bedroom saying they've done it they are on the MOON ! This was when America knew where it was going, now statues are ripped down its so crazy America seems to have lost its way and needs to wake up. I am glad i saw this launch LIVE the memory stays with me.
america does need to wake up. realizing the Apollo missions were faked is like kindergarten, unfortunately, many like you are still strongly under NASA's spell.
@@hauntified9060 LMAO i hear that all the time from you matrix dwelliers. no it wouldn't, if that were true if they would actually launch into space to film movies instead of doing it in a studio.
Watching the recent test flight of the Starship is truly stunning, as it reminds us of the Granddaddy of modern rockets that paved the way for this historic moment. Back in the day, humanity was pushing the limits of what was possible, and the Saturn V rocket was a magnificent piece of engineering that made the impossible possible. Even in 2023, we continue to build on the achievements of the past and reach new heights. It's a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance that we are able to witness such incredible feats of engineering and exploration.
I was in 1st grade when the whole school watched the Challenger blow up. Sad day. Wish I was old enough to witness the Apollo program in person. At least we have CZcams to see what many of you got to see back in the day.
Just turned 7 earlier that month. Watched the moon landing on a b&w portable tv while camping with parents and friends at Caroga lake, NY. So lucky memory for a boy who would have a GI Joe Mercury space capsule for Christmas!
This July 2019 will mark the 50th anniversary when "mankind" first set foot on the Moon. What I find absolutely astonishing is that out of all the time people have been on this Earth agaze at the moon only a small few of us were lucky enough to have been born just at the right moment to have been witness to one of the most extraordinary events anyone has ever experienced. To be alive and witness the first person walk on the Moon. One would have a greater chance of winning a jackpot lottery than having been born just at the right time in history. That thought never ceases to amaze me.
Everything about the Saturn V leaves me stunned. The sheer size and power of that thing has been seldom matched by any other vehicle we ever made since. Even a good distance away blastoff must've been overwhelmingly loud. The exhaust is so bright it screws with the camera's exposure. Such a beast of a rocket.
This happened as I was approaching my 10th birthday, and though coverage was nothing like what is available today, I was glued to the telly for all broadcasts available here in Sweden. I was not old, but I definitely realized that this was history in the making.
Wow that was incredible, last time I watched that I was 9 years old watching on a black and white TV and I remember being mesmerised seeing it blasting off. It was almost as exciting as it was then.
I was 2 weeks old the day this happened. What an amazing accomplishment for the human race. I am so inspired to see NASA (along with Spacex and the other private companies) once again heading to the Moon, Mars, and beyond ... to be alive during a time when the human race took our first steps toward becoming an interplanetary species is cool (to say the least).
I know it's secondary to the significance of this event, but I'm impressed by the quality of the live coverage. There were 4 video cameras on the tower, one at the launch mount and there was even a trench cam. And commentary by the Voice of Apollo. (And then there was the amazing footage from the 30+ film cameras too.)
The moonshot skeptics don't have much to say about this leg of the mission. But to hear them tell it, the same entity that managed this marvel somehow lost all sense and stages a fake landing with a flag flapping in the wind and a lunar lander made from cardboard and then left a "cameraman"stranded on the fake moon as Apollo 17's ascent module was yanked to the ceiling by a rope. These are their beliefs and I am not exaggerating much, if at all. This would not be of any concern except that some of them may be capable of finding a voting booth and some may be capable of loading and discharging a firearm and a few manage to reproduce.
I was living in Macon Georgia in 1969. I remember my dad waking me up and taking me to the living room when the landing took place. I remember watching President Nixon talk to the astronauts on the moon. Dad took pictures of the tv screen with our Polaroid. We still have the yellowing black and white photos in an old album. I remember the darkened livingroom, the glow of our tv in its massive wooden cabinet. I also remember thinking that things would never be the same again.
This video came up in my recommendations. Was at school here in Australia the day of the launch and although I don’t remember a great deal like then watching this is really cool and shows when you think about how far we advanced in flight in such as small amounts of time. Thanks so much for sharing.
I love videos like this because I can relive the fascination I had with the space program when I was a child! But lately, I have felt so terrible for the deniers. They will never know how wonderful the universe really is, the way God created it!
I was six years old when watched this. I've seen it so many times AS HISTORY that I have trouble remember what I actually watched live. The Saturn launches bring so many memories to the surface. Even the communications beeps are triggering. This was my childhood. I can remember when men had NEVER walked on the Moon. For someone six years younger, man has ALWAYS walked on the Moon.
During a "typical" Apollo launch, Jack King wouldn't be talking continuously during the final six minuets of the countdown. But this WAS the first manned lunar landing mission, so it's understandable for the extra narration in the minuets before launch.
This was such a HUGE event back then. The whole western world was watching. I was a kid and did not think it was important but my dad had his eyes glued to the tv
This is the coolest video ever, I was a young boy and about a foot from a huge B&W Zenith console TV. We were visiting friends of the family in PA and the local Esso station was giving away cardboard models of the lunar module. Of course we obtained one and quickly built it. The Saturn V was the greatest rocket of the day, no doubt. Such exciting days for the world !!
So very very awesome!....I remember being 9 years old and seeing this.....nothing, I mean nothing has beat this achievement by mankind to date!...Fucking Awesome!
I watched this on a little B&W crt at our new high school. They did a summer open house to display the new media center. My Dad made components for the F-1 engines and the exploding bolts on the capsule hatch.
The Saturn V was the height of a 36-story building, about 60 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty. The LEM alone was huge, most people don't realize that building a Saturn V was a little like building the great pyramid at Giza.
363 feet from bottom to top . And at launch with millions of gallons of fuel on board weighed as much as a light battle cruiser. 2,950 metric tons,or 6.5 million pounds. !!!! It developed 7.5 million pounds of thrust. Truly mind bending.!
I watched this live on TV as a young boy. It's amazing to watch and a huge achievement. Ir proves to me that mankind can achieve anything once they commit and put their mind to it. This was 1969 - incredible.
35:27 I remember watching this, for 20 seconds nobody knew if the rocket had exploded or not .. then Apollo 11 slowly rises out of that enormous smoke / fire cloud ... and everyone watching started smiling and yelling ...
Well, "they" knew but those of us at home, not so much. Sure seems SLOW compared to the Shuttle and Space-X. Glory Days. All done with slide rules and amazingly primitive computers.
I think it actually was slower to rise off the pad, had a lower thrust-to-weight ratio than other designs. Impressive to watch it rise out of the smoke cloud though.

Don Moore Got me the four and a half foot tall model. I was 10 years old.
Panther74 Escaping It was my very first model I ever did and when I put glue to the little thruster rockets that are on the side one of those slid down a bit before drying causing the four and a half foot model to appear bent , so I had to rotate the whole rocket so the bent pointed to the rear so you can't tell by observing straight on from the front. Gravity had its day even on that small part and this was long before Houston we got a problem..
yes it is amigo it is ;-)
Don Moore so 1 the goi ,việt nam l love U S A
I watched the Apollo launch as a kid and watching it again as a old man. Still as exciting today as it was back then!
Oh that's awesome!
It is one thing that never gets old, even-though it is....No internet, beginning of color TV
Somerthing isnt it? same here. I was fortunate to give them 32 years from said inspiration. Very gratifying.
Thats awesome!
Burning 20 tons of fuel per second and moving at 9000 ft per second ...... The Saturn V ... awesome !!
Not many things in life impress me , but the Saturn V rocket leaves me stunned. I once stood near the airstrip at Beale AFB and had a SR-71 Blackbird fly over me to come in for a landing , that dropped my jaw as well.
it suddenly occurs to me due to the comment bij bigrigJim : The coolest peaces of equipment (Saturn 5, SR71) were designed and built in a time where Computer Aided Design was virtually non-existent!!! Of course, there were computers : The programming that was required there was real programming : Every bit and byte needed to be accounted for like weight on a rocket.
@@merijn0301 I grew up in the era, but remain impressed by what could be accomplished and fully understood in a few thousand bytes. We have no ability to replicate that simplicity and coding precision today.
Exactly, 2 of the most amazing feats of engineering in this century, both mind boggling in their scope.
I heard SR-71 is drawn by hand on ruler without any assist from computer but flew higher and faster than any other
@@anonymousstout4759 true
I was there!
My Dad worked at NASA back then and was a higher up that got us access to one of the lesser VIP sections. We had a second home on Anna Maria Island, Florida and I remember driving from there across the state in our brand new red '69 Mustang 428cj fastback. It was my brother's birthday but I was the only kid that was thrilled about it. I've been to space shuttle launches watching from Cocoa Beach, but DAMN the Apollo was so much louder.Yeah, being closer made it louder, but I would think it would still be louder if I sat in the same spot for both launches. What a memory
tscooter22
That would be way-cool if you still have that '69 Mustang.
Happy birthday to your brother!
1 lucky guy
hot
DAMN what a life you’ve lived.
Saturn V gives me goose bumps every time i see it reach the sky , the most insane creation by man ever, insanely impressive
RIP Michael Collins. Mike may have never walked on the moon but with the Apollo 11 mission he certainly was part of a history making event.. God's speed mike 👍
Was the loneliness man for awhile...nearest human, 200.000 miles away.
Mike was a national treasure
@@johncitizen3927except for Neil and Buzz on the surface up to a few thousand miles away
@@johncitizen3927 Wrong. The nearest human was on the Moon. About 100 kilometers away.
This Saturn V launch is one of the most remembered event which never fade away from the mind of mankind.Cheers for NASA
I remember Saturn V launches when I was a kid. Still brings goosebumps to me. What an incredible achievement.
When the world was simpler, we were able to achieve really complex feats. Sadly today over 50 years later it seems impossible to repeat these amazing feats. We are de-evolving!
We're less willing to accept risk as we once were, technical systems are vastly more complex than they used to be, costs for everything have skyrocketed, the political will and impetus is no longer there, and the public interest has waned. I'm surprised that the Artemis program has even gotten as far as it has, in today's climate.
@Raw Space don't be so sure. It's just T minus away, we are in preliminary stages and our goals are way beyond the Moon distance of about 238,000 miles. Sincerely, we are going to Mars, cynicism will be left to the cynics.
I believe more strongly today this is truly a mission in the works, in my lifetime or so, we are targeting Mars and we will get there and safely home again.
It was faked
That camera tracking the flight had one helluva zoom lens to catch that staging at 30 miles down range. Impressive.
One of the tracking cameras from around that time ended up on ebay for about $33,000. but even those dont even hold a sparkler to the modern tracking cameras.
Curious Droid has a really interesting video on NASA's cameras. What gets me is that the Apollo and even early shuttle launches were filmed before the introduction of electronic tracking and stabilisation. That 30 mile range shot of the staging was done by a person!
What is also interesting is that Clyde Tombaugh (discoverer of Pluto) developed some of the tracking and optical technology when he worked at White Sands AFB in the 1950s.
They used a Nikon P1000.
@@kevinhodges1862 yep definitely Nikon
Wow, just wow. I watched this live as an 8 year old boy, I've seen it a 100 times. It will never get old, unlike me.
It's hard to beat one of the greatest moments in human history!
I watched this live in 1969 at the cape with my parents. The roar of the engines are unreal and it felt like someone beating on your chest. Still have pictures of the launch made off slide photography.
I remember all of the Apollo missions. We visited Cape Kennedy a few weeks before Apollo 11 blasted off. My uncle worked at Grumman with the team that designed the life support systems for the LEM.
That is awesome, @8avexp.
I had just turned 9 years old and this was huge, everything came to a stop, wether you watched on tv or listened to radio broadcast it's one of those moments I'll never forget. Thanks for video. 🙏🇺🇸
Amazing - close to 49 years since I first watched this launch, and I still found myself clenching fists and holding my breath, willing that thing aloft.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one.
I’ve seen this 15 times today and watching the Rocket peak out of the cloud of smoke still gives me chills. Knowing... they’re off to the moon
PhotonBread There is a question about the time that the rocket reaches the cirrus cloud layer. Was the rocket under powered? Was anyone aboard?
It was amazing than on a black and white 📺 it took 10 minutes to warm up ha
I remember watching this lift off. This mission was talked about from beginning to end. Everyone kept up with it.
I turned 7 yrs old in july of 69 and i remember watching this and the lunar landing with total amazement!....remember it like yesterday!
All over the world! Even TV wasn't in every world household back then and all over Eastern Europe, even the USSR, people watched from storefront windows. My wife & I were between 9th & 10th grade in high school. Oh what a mighty time!
There is so much material to read on Apollo and it's absolutely fascinating. No hoaxer ever lived who was educated on this incredible achievement.
You gotta see apollo 11 in theaters now. It's the next best thing. The launch is incredible. IMAX if you can.
Please, use a bit of analytical thought. Don’t just accept what you are told.
C Walden Whilst I find your comment almost too intellectually overwhelming can I suggest that the rocket appears to pass through the cirrocumulus cloud layer at 105 seconds. You being of course an intellectual will know that cirrocumulus clouds are found at 25-30000 feet. At 105 seconds the rocket was reported as being nearly 80000 feet. My question is: Why are NASA fans so aggressively defensive?
@@johnmaclean8136 You're full of it, as usual. First off, the cloud layer you're referring to isn't even seen in this video. At 105 seconds all we see is the view from the infrared camera. The clouds you're talking about can be seen in another video, but at 64s, not 105s: czcams.com/video/qT2sN7Oe7JA/video.htmlm35s
Here is the timeline of the linked video.
12:40 (T - 0) Launch
13:35 (T + 55s) Altitude 2 miles (per commentator)
13:43 (T + 63s) Rocket visibly breaks the sound barrier
13:44 (T + 64s) Rocket punches through thin cloud layer
13:51 (T + 71s) Altitude 4 miles (per commentator)
14:25 (T + 105s) No clouds
At T + 64s, the rocket was almost 3 miles high (~15500 feet). That falls within the "alto" cloud stratum, rather than the "cirrus" cloud stratum above 20k feet. Furthermore, "cumulus" clouds are lumpy or fluffy by definition. The clouds we see in this video are best described as a very thin altostratus layer.
Incidentally, the timing of the rocket passing through the cloud layer at 64 seconds also corresponds within ~3 seconds to the view from the uncut tracking camera video, linked here: czcams.com/video/p8fLjC3gNTk/video.html
*In summary, you're wrong on the timing, you're wrong on the rocket's altitude, and you're wrong on your cloud classification.*
the difference between half-assed research and full research. our pal John read that clouds were at a certain height and saw clouds were in the video but at a different height. Raw Space knew enough to determine they were in fact a different cloud layer. Well done @Raw Space
The voice you are listening to is Jack King (d. 2015) who was called the Voice of Apollo. His job was with NASA Public Affairs.
I prefer his technical and matter of fact voice. When I hear some of the callouts from SpaceX it just seems so lame in comparison.
leftcoaster67 yes I totally agree,listening to this guy today(2020) it’s like actually being there,brilliant
He performed this task from Gemini through the Apollo lunar program. He was THE BEST!
I wish i could’ve experienced this. Hopefully i will get to see the Artemis mission in 2024. Can’t wait! But nothing compares seeing this historical launch.
SpaceX launching rockets like crazy. Check out the live streams
Just pray that one day we would launch humans for Mars. Hopefully this decade 🤞🏻

I watched this launch on TV as it happened. Now as a grandparent it's still thrilling.
What I would give to see this in person...
I saw it live. Was amazing. I was 8
William, from what I have read, it is absolutely incredible to *hear* it in person.
I saw it with my own two eyes, at 7yrs old
I saw Apollo 15 in person. The sight, the sound, and the feeling of the power is something I have never forgot. There is nothing more breathtaking and spectacular.
I saw this live and I was 8 years old. Still remember it like it was yesterday.
Hi people, I was a drafted airborne infantry soldier, landed in Burn HOA air base, Saigon Viet Nam on Jan 03, 1968. In August 1969 I was in my second year of being stationed in camp Eagle, Hue, Viet Nam. I was in the Ash u Valley on a patrol when Apollo 11 launched. We didn't know it happened. Three weeks later while in base camp Eagle, I was able to read about the historic event in the Stars and Stripes papers. We were told about it by pilots and crewmen on our supply choppers. It was an historical mission and I was amazed to read about it. I left the 101 camp Eagle on November 30th 1969. I just today watched the entire mission from launch to splash own on youtube. I'm 76 yrs old and the entire Apollo mission still gave me goosebumps! Those brave men flew to the moon in what I call tin cans. And back home. All of our astronauts had huge cohonnies!! The Saturn 5 was astounding huge, and American made!! Proud of them God Bless America!!!!
Jack King - "The Voice of Apollo" Very cool, and easy to listen to.
Jack had an easy tone to his voice. But also spoke with authority at the same time. Very very cool.
I agree with you 100 % on that Jack King was by far the best person ever to call a rocket launch such as the mighty Saturn V. There has been no one yet who's come close to Jack King could do it. In fact I'd say today people seem to lack of any kind of effort in calling a good count down of launch verical that's why I called Jack King the count down king.
watched this live in Australia i was in high school aged 13 at teachers house with all the class across the road .
Amazing time! 6 years old and still remember; with the whole family infront of the tv...and watching...
I was 6 yrs old too, but I remember the landing more clearly days later.
@@billjensen401 I was 4. Mostly I remember my father pushing me down in front of the TV. "Watch this. It's history!" I was mesmerized a couple of days later when Mr. Armstrong stepped off the ladder. Thanks Dad for your persistence.
Sixxxx
I was 9 years old and glued to the TV watching this.
I as well! I was 9.
Man, I envy you. That was 4 months before I was born. I would love to see this.
I am a physicist and part of our contract is out reach work at schools.
The kids in school love everything to do with space and they ask question after question after question about it.
The questions are always about other planets and aliens though!
When I ask them about the moon landings it is something they take for granted. They accept that we have been to the moon but lots of them think that we go there all the time. They are amazed when they find out that only 12 people have walked on tbe moon.
The younger ones sometimes ask if I was one of those people, they can be very sweet. I tell them no bit it is my only regret in life that I wasn't there to watch the moon landings on TV.
It must've been magical. There must have been a split second when the whole world momentarily forgot all of their differences and disagreements. There would have been the briefest of moments when no one cared if people were black or white, gay or straight, left or right, male or female, Christian or Muslim or any other damned division that plights our species today.
For the briefest of instances the world was transfixed on the image of a human being performing an act of magnificent bravery, creativity and wonderment. For that fleeting time humanity must have felt connected as a single species, entranced by what we can achieve.
How wonderful and how lucky you were to be there.
38 minutes of my life I do NOT want back, beautiful
As an 11 year old I 'grew up' with the space race, and remember how cool those cameras set up like an anti-aircraft gun were.
Amazing to relive the excitement - I was a teenager in 1969. Even more amazing is there are folks that refuse to believe this happened. It happened, move on. Incredible technology and effort to make Apollo 11 a reality. Thanks for posting.
Thru Apollo 17(13 had an emergency landing) 6 times to the Moon and back... truly incredible feat. Now they can't even get the spacesuit right 🤷♂️ but they should in due time
I watched this live on TV. I may be old, but I saw a lot of stuff.
What a nice walk down memory lane. I was 14 at the time and glued to the TV, along with Mom, Dad, and little sister.
I watched this in real time! I was 8 years old! I woke up on a beautiful sunny July morning and walked out to see all of my siblings watching this on our color TV! To those that say it "never happened." screw you! You weren't even alive yet!!!
Still emotionnal 50 years later !
I highly recommend visiting Johnson Space Center in Houston. There is a complete, un-flown Saturn V rocket in a massive shed, and you can go into mission control.
I have been ther it is cool
There's one in Kennedy space center as well. It's mindblowingly huge!
It is _awesome._
And they have a spell binding presentation/simulation of the Saturn VIII launch.
Can confirm, one of the greatest things I've seen in my life.
The summer of 69' was probably one of the best of the last century. It was a few years shy of me being born but so much happened that year at least in the United States. Apollo was an ambitious project that pushed the limits in so many ways. It was only 66 years after the Wright Brothers first flight , had to be an incredable time for those alive who were alive for both events.
Na bro, the best summer in US history was the summer of 41, Baseball gave us that awesome summer.
And the first episode of The Brady Bunch aired on ABC.
For me, one of the greatest moments in history. God speed space exploration.
This is probably THE coolest video on CZcams!
Probably?🙁
What a marvel of science and engineering.
I'am always geting goosebumps watching Saturn V footage.
Most powerful rocket ever launched. And this, nearly 50 years ago. Still unmatched today. Proof of American superiority in space travel/technology. Awe inspiring, beautiful. God bless.
The most powerful rocket ever launched - successfully. The Soviet N1 Moon rocket was far more powerful, but was too complicated. Each of the four test flights lasted right up to the explosion.
@@MarsFKA USSR's N-1L3 had a higher thrust than the Saturn V, but in fact had less payload to LEO (~95t versus ~140t) and was just slightly shorter.

Yes, you’ve got SLS, Starship and other heavy rockets to get you out there. Of course, they are significantly more technologically advanced than the Saturn V, but take my word: nothing will defeat the beauty of the Saturn V lifting off the pad.

Can we stop and just take a moment to honor everyone who worked on the historic rocket that was Saturn V? And also the historic commentary, "3..2..1..0.. All engines running!

This was when America knew where it was going, now statues are ripped down its so crazy America seems to have lost its way and needs to wake up. I am glad i saw this launch LIVE the memory stays with me.

Hope you’re not referring to confederate statues being torn down..

@@codedecode878 faking it would have cost more than the actual landing
@@hauntified9060 LMAO i hear that all the time from you matrix dwelliers. no it wouldn't, if that were true if they would actually launch into space to film movies instead of doing it in a studio.
Watching the recent test flight of the Starship is truly stunning, as it reminds us of the Granddaddy of modern rockets that paved the way for this historic moment. Back in the day, humanity was pushing the limits of what was possible, and the Saturn V rocket was a magnificent piece of engineering that made the impossible possible. Even in 2023, we continue to build on the achievements of the past and reach new heights. It's a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance that we are able to witness such incredible feats of engineering and exploration.
I was in 1st grade when the whole school watched the Challenger blow up. Sad day. Wish I was old enough to witness the Apollo program in person. At least we have CZcams to see what many of you got to see back in the day.
I was in 3rd grade. I remember playing "pilot the space shuttle" with my buddy on the school playground equipment.
I remember being glued to the TV set on this day. My parents were both at work. I was 15 years old.
I was 14 and still remember it like it was yesterday
I was eighteen and spent the whole night of lunar landing in front on the tv set. A wonderful magic night!
thank you
I was almost 8. Missed the launch, but came in from playing tag to see the landing.
Wow, that must of been spectacular to watch!
I was three years old. I remember (vaguely) watching the launch & moon broadcasts but I knew something important was happening!
Just turned 7 earlier that month. Watched the moon landing on a b&w portable tv while camping with parents and friends at Caroga lake, NY. So lucky memory for a boy who would have a GI Joe Mercury space capsule for Christmas!
How did the Saturn V ever take off when it was weighed down by the Apollo crew’s balls?
Jack King's voice just nails this launch!
This July 2019 will mark the 50th anniversary when "mankind" first set foot on the Moon. What I find absolutely astonishing is that out of all the time people have been on this Earth agaze at the moon only a small few of us were lucky enough to have been born just at the right moment to have been witness to one of the most extraordinary events anyone has ever experienced. To be alive and witness the first person walk on the Moon. One would have a greater chance of winning a jackpot lottery than having been born just at the right time in history. That thought never ceases to amaze me.
I watched this when I was 6 yrs. old. Awesome still!
Me too! I was six as well. Watched it laying on the floor in front of my grandparents huge (for the time) new color TV.
Your intellect?
Nuts that they managed this in the 60s.
They did, but it took a lot of political will, money, and risk acceptance.

Everything about the Saturn V leaves me stunned. The sheer size and power of that thing has been seldom matched by any other vehicle we ever made since. Even a good distance away blastoff must've been overwhelmingly loud. The exhaust is so bright it screws with the camera's exposure. Such a beast of a rocket.

This happened as I was approaching my 10th birthday, and though coverage was nothing like what is available today, I was glued to the telly for all broadcasts available here in Sweden. I was not old, but I definitely realized that this was history in the making.
Wow that was incredible, last time I watched that I was 9 years old watching on a black and white TV and I remember being mesmerised seeing it blasting off. It was almost as exciting as it was then.

@@julesdomes6064 hey . . . Shup up.
I dont believe that
Well kinda
I mean shut up
Ok boomer mic drop
I know it's secondary to the significance of this event, but I'm impressed by the quality of the live coverage. There were 4 video cameras on the tower, one at the launch mount and there was even a trench cam. And commentary by the Voice of Apollo. (And then there was the amazing footage from the 30+ film cameras too.)
The moonshot skeptics don't have much to say about this leg of the mission. But to hear them tell it, the same entity that managed this marvel somehow lost all sense and stages a fake landing with a flag flapping in the wind and a lunar lander made from cardboard and then left a "cameraman"stranded on the fake moon as Apollo 17's ascent module was yanked to the ceiling by a rope. These are their beliefs and I am not exaggerating much, if at all. This would not be of any concern except that some of them may be capable of finding a voting booth and some may be capable of loading and discharging a firearm and a few manage to reproduce.
I was living in Macon Georgia in 1969. I remember my dad waking me up and taking me to the living room when the landing took place. I remember watching President Nixon talk to the astronauts on the moon. Dad took pictures of the tv screen with our Polaroid. We still have the yellowing black and white photos in an old album. I remember the darkened livingroom, the glow of our tv in its massive wooden cabinet. I also remember thinking that things would never be the same again.
"This thing's redlining..." "Ah, it's fine, don't worry."
This video came up in my recommendations. Was at school here in Australia the day of the launch and although I don’t remember a great deal like then watching this is really cool and shows when you think about how far we advanced in flight in such as small amounts of time. Thanks so much for sharing.
I was 5 years old and I saw it on tv this day and I understood what they were going to do !!!
Wow, hair on my neck stood up watching this ...I remember watching this as a kid back in 69
I love videos like this because I can relive the fascination I had with the space program when I was a child! But lately, I have felt so terrible for the deniers. They will never know how wonderful the universe really is, the way God created it!
An Engineers Engineer. Listening to Neil hit the marks spot on. Brave Americans in that ride.
I was six years old when watched this. I've seen it so many times AS HISTORY that I have trouble remember what I actually watched live. The Saturn launches bring so many memories to the surface. Even the communications beeps are triggering. This was my childhood.
I can remember when men had NEVER walked on the Moon. For someone six years younger, man has ALWAYS walked on the Moon.
This was the most best day of i was on that day my birthday was on 2013 so I cna get to watch this and I can also watch this over and over again!
One of the most amazing moments in history...
During a "typical" Apollo launch, Jack King wouldn't be talking continuously during the final six minuets of the countdown.
But this WAS the first manned lunar landing mission, so it's understandable for the extra narration in the minuets before launch.
This was such a HUGE event back then. The whole western world was watching.
I was a kid and did not think it was important but my dad had his eyes glued to the tv
This is the coolest video ever, I was a young boy and about a foot from a huge B&W Zenith console TV. We were visiting friends of the family in PA and the local Esso station was giving away cardboard models of the lunar module. Of course we obtained one and quickly built it. The Saturn V was the greatest rocket of the day, no doubt. Such exciting days for the world !!
So very very awesome!....I remember being 9 years old and seeing this.....nothing, I mean nothing has beat this achievement by mankind to date!...Fucking Awesome!
I watched this on a little B&W crt at our new high school. They did a summer open house to display the new media center. My Dad made components for the F-1 engines and the exploding bolts on the capsule hatch.
I was 12 years old, and so. fascinated with the space program, I gave up a trip to a park to sit and watch this!! 🤓
The Saturn V was the height of a 36-story building, about 60 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty. The LEM alone was huge, most people don't realize that building a Saturn V was a little like building the great pyramid at Giza.

I watched this live on TV as a young boy. It's amazing to watch and a huge achievement. Ir proves to me that mankind can achieve anything once they commit and put their mind to it. This was 1969 - incredible.
I remember that when I was 4 years old! We first watch that Apollo launch at my preschool!
How old are you?
35:27 I remember watching this, for 20 seconds nobody knew if the rocket had exploded or not .. then Apollo 11 slowly rises out of that enormous smoke / fire cloud ... and everyone watching started smiling and yelling ...
Well, "they" knew but those of us at home, not so much. Sure seems SLOW compared to the Shuttle and Space-X. Glory Days. All done with slide rules and amazingly primitive computers.
I think it actually was slower to rise off the pad, had a lower thrust-to-weight ratio than other designs. Impressive to watch it rise out of the smoke cloud though.
