This is something that not many people have seen: A close up of the fiery engines of the Saturn V rocket starting up July 16, 1969. The eight apocalyptic minutes in HD are simply awesome.
We covered the 36-foot Saturn V model launch back in April, but that video was pretty bad. This one—clear as restored Moon landing footage—is thrilling, specially for its deafening noise. Yet another way to celebrate Apollo 11.
