It’s astonishing the rocket stayed intact for as long as it did knowing the aluminum skin was so thin. I really thought it’d blow immediately after first +/ deviation.
Ps, like the “projector” effect. I didn’t realize it was artificial until viewers posted about it negatively. Not only is it a nice touch, I appreciate the effort you made to make videos like this available.
The flicker noise jumps from scene to scene without hiccup, showing it's fake, just to add to your "effect" ! Good film, doesn't need your personal 'touch' . We're not watching MASH here!
What goes up must come down. Max chemical rocket velocity is 6660 mph. Can't get to 17,500 mph. No low Earth orbit. Parabolic arches only. No thrust in a vacuum. Sorry to burst your high altitude bubble.

I've always known the Atlas program had a rocky start, and seeing it in detail is awesome. Thanks for posting this series.
Every rocket program has a rocky start. But it was uncharted waters for everyone back then
That C6 pad explosion was brutal!
That was Lyle Lovett at 12:08 before he hit it big on the country music scene.
William Conrad narrates, beginning at 7:45.

My Dad James Winston Fowler built Hangar J
James Winston Fowler built the Block House for Pad 11,12,13,14.
Well done, value added. The SDASM footage is a treasure trove but yours helps to tell the story. Centaur next?
Awesome Dude!
8:00 Robert Conrad narrating...
Can you repost these videos without the annoying flicker film projector noise you added in?
Nice
Uh, Roger, liftoff and the clock has........................exploded

I like the sounds. Reminds me of the 60's and 70's watching worn out old films is class.
Dumbass
my dads ten rockets were in coffin launchers , un-fueled that lay on their side
Why did you add that flicker noise? You cheesy bastard!
Hope there's a good engineering history book to read because these movies don't satisfy, have gaps in sequence worthy of politicians!
The flashing light effect...
*makes this geat historical footage, unwatchable.*
well i guess the peace on earth wish didn't last long! :D
@17:20 here starting
Hitler and Von Brauns dream weapon.
genocide is the mother of invention
I never see convincing information.
Shyte
