Apollo 11 Launch at 500 Frames per Second

 

This amazing video by Spacecraft Films shows the July 16, 1969 launch of the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first humans on the moon. The camera was rolling at a whopping 500 frames per second, allowing the first 30 seconds of the launch to be slowed down into this 8-minute narrated video of pure awesomeness.

    yeah it’s better to let the asteroid just hit earth than risk anyone blowing up on earth.

    Its already been discussed to hell it seems. But just to add on to it. 

    People back here on earth were able to observe “urine dumps” ( Thats right! Piss being dumped overboard ) from the Apollo spacecraft, using a comparatively small telescopes.
    Many other mission events were tracked and photographed by numerous independent entities. Some amateur radio enthusiasts weer even able to record the audio transmissions.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_evidence_for_Apollo_Moon_landings#Apollo_missions_tracked_by_independent_parties
