Apollo 11 launch, video of engines at 500 frames per second

This version of the same video includes informative narration of what are the first 30 seconds after Apollo 11 liftoff:

I actually contemplated posting this narrated version, which offers a great explanation of what is happening technically.

But I ultimately chose this one because there's something very inspiring about watching the raw footage in silence.

Not your typical news, this video is 47 years old. But to witness for the first time such an amazing achievement in human history, at such an intimate level of detail... it certainly feels new.

That was amazing. The coolest part is around 2:15.

Yeah, definitely amazing.

Have to disagree about the coolest part though, because there's a massive amount of heat expelled at that point in the video! :)
