I like this take. Its hard to wrap your head around just how scary this really was. Riding a 160 million horsepower explosion into deep space, and then landing on an airless dusty irradiated hunk of rock that is, at minimum, days away from home should we need to return in an emergency. And then, at that, getting home is extremely treacherous. Reentry into the atmosphere is extremely taxing on a spacecraft and its occupants, and it requires some god tier engineering to ensure a safe return every time. Space and the moon are no place for a human, going orbital speeds is insane and slowing down enough to land is extremely dangerous, but humanity *did* these things. It's just incredible.

The most misunderstood underrated film of that year.

[@breecepancake7014]

If I'm ever feeling a bit down, blue or anxious I find that watching this and The Launch from Apollo 13 has the effect of re balancing my equilibrium. It is an intensely emotional experience where I actually feel as if I'm drawing power from those rockets ... surging through me and leaving me in a state of remarkable calm. Strange isn't it ? ... I know that I'd never measure up to these astronauts. Their professionalism, dedication and bravery only highlights my inadequacies yet that doesn't knock me down ... it builds me up.

[@ArkamasRoss]

2:41 The Cold War irony of the effect similar to the detonation of a nuclear bomb. They portrayed the absolute, mind-numbing raw power and engineering marvel of the Saturn V perfectly. That rocket reflects the will and determination of everyone and everything that it took to do it.

[@mangothemagnet27]

Was it really that bright?

[@ArkamasRoss]

I mean it's probably pretty accurate to the effect of a night launch where they portrayed it as early morning in this movie, but the actual Apollo 11 launch was during the day. Watch the 2019 Apollo 11 movie sometime. It uses actual footage and audio from the mission and the lunch scene in that one is very well done too. I think both movies have very well portrayed launch scenes in their own right. This one sets it more in the darkness of the Cold War era whereas Apollo 11 obviously portrays the actual feel of the time of the launch with the actual footage.

[@BenJewer]

@@richs7062 Ion engines are extremely efficient in terms of fuel usage but they are very low thrust compared to chemical rockets. The X3 is nowhere near the power in terms of thrust as the F1 rocket engine used on the Saturn V first stage, and no other engine has ever reached that level of thrust.

Heard it for real, from about 2 miles away. Not just loud; you FELT it, and it made a peculiar popping noise as it ascended. I had no idea, at five years old, that I was witnessing the first actual mission to land on the moon, but I remember seeing that launch because it was the most spectacular thing I'd seen in my life (and it remains so today). It was only a couple of days later, after we'd returned home from our Florida vacation, that my dad woke me up late at night to see on television the results of what I'd witnessed.... the grainy, ghostly black and white images of men standing and walking in a place never before visited by human beings.

[@jmarston1043]

@ 2:22 "ignition sequence start" then "BOOM" i have just watched this with the audio playing thru my surround sound and it sounds absolutely awesome but also gives me a sense of how incredibly frightening this must of been for the astonauts too, the "BOOM" when the engines ignite, the intense shaking, the metal groaning and all the other sounds starting up in the background during the launch - the Saturn V was truly a monster not seen the whole film but i think this clip with the music is the finest bit of film ever produced, the bit @ 3:27 where the Saturn V rises from the cloud is simply breath taking

Most incredible launch scene in a movie. The way Neil Armstrong walks way ahead of the two crew mates on the bridge goes to show how much he is into this, completely onto the task, in the zone, and also deep within himself with the family tragedy. Not sure if many of those watched the movie noticed this but the director likely deliberately pictured it this way. All three astronauts are heroes and so are everyone involved who made this flight happen.

[@simonrano8072]

You skipped Apollo 13 some how. The only things that scene is better at is scale sense and image resolution. The whole movie looks like they re used Apollo 13 props or even actual early 70s equipments, stuff were new at the time of the events not worn out and rusted.

My father said he watched Neil Armstrong take the first step on the moon with his grandfather. His grandfather said, after Neil's famous words, "When I was a boy I drove horses on the family farm.

[@Shadowfax-1980]
