I remember watching that launch live on TV. I had been an avid follower of the space program starting at age 7 with John Glenn's flight. I remember getting goosebumps watching that first launch of what was our new Moon Rocket.
A great summary and detailed flight plan of the very first and completely successful test flight of the Saturn V. Thx for posting. The only negative, Apollo 4 was too successful - it did not experience the dangerous F1 engine vibrations that Apollo 6 encountered. That test allowed engineers to solve the problems and clear the path for 10 crewed flights and the launch of Skylab. Btw, filmakers used ground footage of the rollout and launch pad prep of the Saturn V test vehicle, not Apollo 4. Of course, the Nov 4th launch video was completely authentic and absolutely amazing. Once again thx for posting.
Back in the early 2000's i admit that i believed NASA faked the moon landing. Fast track to 2023 i know the truth. Always admire the bravery and ingenuity of the americans. Cheers from your friends here in philippines. Hoping for all of your success!
I was reading a description of this flight a while back The only man made thing louder than a Saturn V launch was a nuclear bomb detonating. At the time, don't know if any of the new rockets exceeded it.
The new SLS is more powerful than the Saturn V*, therefore logic dictates it should be louder than it. *Note; Wherein the SLS is more powerful than the Saturn V it uses external solid fuel boosters similar to the one's the Space Shuttle used, this means that the Saturn V remains the most powerful rocket ever to fly in space in the category of rockets that contain their own fuel and everything else utilized within themselves, ie the SLS can only claim that it's the most powerful rocket in history because it's cheating.
Apparently from a few kilometres away the Saturn V was 120 decibels. The SLS from the same distance was over 130. Apparently with rockets like these they have to wait until there’s a clear sky, otherwise the sound waves might get reflected and break windows.
@@franciscodanconia45 Might want to go watch some off the iss videos where you can clearly see their suspended from wires. And you really think someone would just float around in a space walk at around 30,000klm an hour? Landed on the moon 😆😆😆 sure bud 😆 Also, why did wherner Von Braun have Psalms 19,1 engraved on his headstone?
@@franciscodanconia45 Also, just to put things into perspective. At that speed, any space dust would absolutely sandblast that suit clean off him, skin and all. I mean really, there comes a point where you just have to question shit.
The space shuttle was such a let down, it never should have replaced the Apollo program series of spacecraft. And the irony is that after 86' each shuttle launch was as expensive as a complete moon shot. Cost savings was one of the shuttle program's many unfulfilled selling features.
IIRC, Homer Hickman said the shuttles biggest problem was strapping the people down with the exploding stuff, instead of putting them on top of the stack, as far away from the exploding stuff as possible. Suppose the US Government standardized on the Saturn V as their heavy launch vehicle. How much would they have cost if we had ordered 30-40-50? Then designed a larger X-20 to put people in earth orbit? Typical US thinking. Just about the time that we get something near perfect, they decide to round file it, in place of something "better" "Perfect is the mortal enemy of "good enough".
What Congress was sold, search for _"SpaceShuttleGroundProcessingVision"_ What taxpayers bought, search for _"SpaceShuttleGroundProcessingActual"_ I loved the shuttle, but wow could we have made a heck of a space station out of S-IVb hardware.
If you were really curious about that, you can easily look it up online. Since you did not do that, it's obvious that you are not curious. Do some work, you lazy sod!
They launch their rockets towards the Bermuda triangle The rockets do not go to "space", they crash down in the ocean, anyone who witnesses this gets blown out of the water or captured by the US Navy This is why they created the myth about people and ships mysteriously disappearing in the Bermuda triangle Nobody has ever been to "outter space"
It’s spelled “outer space”. And you’re correct. Man has only been to near Earth orbit and to the moon. “Outer space” is beyond our reach due to the vast distances. Notice how these people deny scientific proofs, photos of lunar modules on the moon, and confirmation from our adversary that the U.S. made it to the moon and back. They never have evidence, just conjecture, rumor, and speculation.
Yes, and Nazi Kurt Debus was the Director of Apollo. But Kurt had nothing to do with Rocket propulsion. His thing in Nazi Germany was electrical and plasma.
Great historical footage! Thanks for posting!
Our pleasure! Thanks for the comment.

This is the best channel on the platform. So much history is preserved through this!!
I love films like this. So much information.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being a sub!
Me too!
Great old time
Big shot indeed. Also, it was beautiful to look at. For a moon rocket, it's proportions seem just right to me.
Fantastic!

Seen in the experimental hangar of one of the aerospace OEMs:
"The time comes when you need to kill the engineers, and start production".
I was 2 years old when this happened
Me to, born in 65.
".. we destroyed that technology and it's a painfull process to build it back,"
Haha exactly. This should come under the category of Comedy 😂🙏
@@James-kd7dcthe funniest thing are the idiots who pretend that we didn’t go to the moon
Nope,never heard of; ULA,Rocket Dyne ,BlueOrigin,or SPACEX

The savings of cash of using just one O-ring instead of two looked good on paper....

The “space race” was won because America captured better Nazis than the Soviets did.
