On The Business End Of A Saturn V

Apollo 11 Saturn V Launch (HD) Camera E-8 from Mark Gray on Vimeo.

(Be sure to click the little half-asterisk thingy netween the bars and the "vimeo" to get the full screen version.)

The mobile launch pad takes quite a beating under the full fury of five F1 engines churning out 7.5 million pounds of hellish thrust.

The narration explaining what you are seeing is awesome.

Humans made all this stuff.

Americans made all this stuff.

But now we don't know how to make it anymore because politicians are pandering pussies who don't understand science or engineering and can't take a long view towards human civilization.

Fuckers.
