The Mighty Saturn V. What a machine!

Still love watching those Apollo launches to this day

The Saturn V was a magnificent launch vehicle. I never get tired of watching these launches. Thanks for posting!!

I was 13 years old at the time. I remember watching them orbit the moon Christmas Eve evening as my older brother and his buddy put a race track together on our living room floor that they got us for Christmas. I remember thinking I'll never forget this. I never have.

The only launch video that truly captured how bright the flame from the I-C booster really was. It basically looked like a flying blowtorch.

Reynolds,Bergman and King. Doesn’t get better than that!

I was just a 9 year old kid, and I can still remember Jack King’s voice at launch control. Those were the days when boys were boys, and men were men.

I met Neil Armstrong in 1993. He autographed my logbook. I met Frank Borman in 2000. Both were super nice guys. I got to talk quite a while with Frank and his wife, Betty. They had matching blue flight suits with their names embroidered on their chests in white. They taxied onto our ramp in their gorgeous P-51 Mustang.

At Christmas, these three gave us a splendid send off to 1968, a much welcome blessing after that very difficult year.

I remember those 2 gentlemen doing the 1st 6 space shuttle launches @ launch pad 39 A at Cape Canaveral on ABC TV!!!!

The announcers back in those days were just plain bad a@@. Their deep booming voices were amazing.

I was 8 years old...got up...Christmas vacation..turned on the TV...and saw humans leave the Earth for the first time( meaning who would leave Earth orbit and go out there)...wow...what a memory...and a Christmas Eve...

I watched this from the beach at the cape. What a beautiful, exciting event it was! Thank you for sharing this. Lots of great memories.

A magnificent piece of history for our country! I just wish I was old enough to understand what was going on when it happened. I was like 3 years old at that time. This went to show that the astronauts of Apollo 1 did not die in vain! Kudos to these men and all of the men and women who worked together to make this happen!

Try to imagine a present top network anchor as competent at merely speaking as these 60's field reporters.

As an 8 year old my network of choice for the space program was ABC with Frank Reynolds & Jules Bergman. I put in a lot of hours watching these guys.

Thanks for uploading. Great footage of a truly historic event.

This technology is 50 yrs old and it still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand. This is why all 12 yr old guys wanted to be an astronaut.

The most dangerous mission ever. Had the same thing happened on Apollo 8 as on 13 they would not have come home.
