In July of 1969, America sent the first humans to the moon. Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin, and Michael Collins were aboard the mission named Apollo 11. The launch vehicle they rode, the Saturn 5 rocket, is still the most powerful machine ever built. It generated almost 8 million pounds of thrust and even after nearly 40 years, it is the only vehicle that has carried men beyond earth's gravity. Watch it now, as you would have seen it on July 16, 1969, at 9:26 AM EDT. T-minus 00:5:59 and counting.

A clip from "From The Earth to The Moon", a miniseries chroncicling the United States space program, mainly the Apollo era. These men who died in the fire during a routine test for the Apollo 1 mission, Gus Grissom, Roger Chafee, and Ed White, will always be remembered as men who gave their lives not only for the United State's mission to the moon, but also to the dream that humanity will one day be not only a citizen of Earth, but a citizen of this Star system, this Galaxy, and this Universe.

TV footage of the Apollo 11 launch with simulated altitude and velocity data overlaid for reference. In metric system units, naturally. The simulated figures should correlate pretty well with actual flight data with maybe the exception of the first few seconds when the hold-down arms slowly release the vehicle and the actual acceleration might have built up a bit slower than in the simulation. Watch those numbers build up... Теги:apollo11launchtvtransmissionsaturnmoon

What you are about to see is the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission. While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it's the real reason we've never gone back to the moon.
