Saturn V scale model rocket launch 480p
This is a video of a Saturn V scale model rocket launch in Price, MD. The rocket was built by Steve Eves. All questions can be answered here: www.popularmech...
The music is "Also sprach Zarathustra", composed by Richard Strauss, performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, and conducted by André Previn.

I started as a model rocketeer back in 1967. This brought tears to my eyes. The perfect flight of the ultimate model rocket. It does not get better than this.
If you are wondering what the parachutes are for, some are for equipment but there's 2 for the co-pilot and pilot, who are trained squirrels.
The synchronization of the music and the video is BEAUTIFUL!
I lived in a little town called Arab, AL and was in high school during the design and testing phase of the Saturn V rocket that was built and tested in Huntsville, AL. at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). On many occasions when the rocket engines were tested the windows in our house in Arab would rattle and there was a very low frequency rumble that could be heard. It was the testing of these engines about 35 miles away. In January or 1970, I was very fortunate to go to work for NASA in Huntsville. I left there in 1976 for White Sands Missile Range. Never got to see the Saturn V launch but I realize now just how fortunate I was to work there during those years. That is an awesome rocket you guys built - keep up the good work. God Bless America.

The most awesome thing i ever seen on a launch pad. Thats the true essence of scale model rocketry. Congratulations.
Looks like the first flight everyone has in Kerbal Space Program, but with parachutes. Scott Manley would be proud.
Absolutely amazing....I could watch that a thousand times and still be amazed that it was "only" a model. Congratulations to the builder!!!
At first I was a little underwhelmed about it's height when it launched...but the landing upright actually got some applause out of me XD

Why did it rise so fast? DIdn’t the real Saturn V rise slowly?

A question of weight, density so thrust to weight ratio, the real Saturn was very heavy and even with all this power, majority of the power was used to fight gravity. The smaller rockets tend to take off very fast due to their light weight and engines still being quite powerful compared to the weight. But here, the idea was to make a minirocket spend its fuel very fast, so it didn't go high and it was not the purpose of this event. Look at what the Japaese Space Agncy launched a few days after Space X's Falcon Heavy, the smallest orbital rocket ever launched, ten meters high, just like this one, takes off very fast as well.

Ha, there kids landed a rocket years before Elon Musk or Richard B
Put it on your resume
as an amateur rocket scientist, i really love the idea of scaling down a real rocket to more than just a couple feet long. This will definately inspire me further to keep creating rockets the way ive been doing. My last launch took place on April 23rd, it was a succes and with accurate calculations, i was able to mark exactly where it would land. And it touched nozzle end down right on that mark. :)
Even though this is two years old, I have to applaud the effort that went into this. Actually brought a tear and a laugh at the same time. Wonderful!

Fulfilling the dream of every kid that ever built an ESTES rocket. OUTSTANDING. Rocket on dudes.
I just got back from the Cosomosphere in Kansas and took a class on space exploration. This was one of the videos they showed us. I have to say, that was pretty cool.
Dang... Got a whole bunch of rocket scientists commenting on this video. The videos get 'em here. But the REAL entertainment... Is in the comments. Refugees from first grade science class. ROTFLMAO!
I came here from someone who tried to make everyone in a prison nude.
I think you just left the "scale model" zone as soon as you have to climb a ladder to reach the top of your "model" lmaoo
IMPRESSIVE! Congratulations to those responsible for that amazing project!
The very best video of 'amateur / non-NASA' Rocket Science video I have ever seen on You Tube. America really is the 'land of the free' (and from an English man). Awesome!!!
Wow! That was absolutely incredible.
That was truly awe-inspiring ! Huge congratulations, and looking forward to many more videos of this amazing rocketship !
it would be great to get the engine to lift it at a scale speed too ... the original Saturn V didn't take off as quick as that one does ... maybe experiment with less powerful burning engines

+Delphic, you're a dummy, the Saturn V had a TWR of 1.15 at launch, this is one of the lowest amongst any launcher, with only the shuttles as far as I know in some configuration going for as low as 1.1, that's only 15% of a G at launch, the videos are not slowed down...
Nice coordination with Also Spracht Zarathustra! Well done.
I first built and flew model rockets in 1967. It was during the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo periods. This flight of yours was a heart rush of the highest order!!! Just threw me right back to 50 plus years ago, flying rockets at Andrews Air Force Base. Wow, I’m blown back by this, fabulous work. Does this bird still fly?

I was there (model rocket-ing in 67) and yeah...this is the stuff dreams are made of. I would have literally lost my mind seeing that thing just sitting on the launcher? Watching it fly...well, I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying. Vern Estes would have been so proud!! The absolute ultimate model rocket of all time.
Fantastic launch. It looked so real esp when the rocket was shooting skywards. Fantastic....
Well done. Considering how hard it was for NASA and the rest of the world to get it right, it's amazing you got it that far successfully.
Unreal. Where did he come up with the knowledge to build this thing. Well done Steve
When I saw the words "1:10 scale" I was sure that it was an error or a typo! Then I saw the rocket, and couldn't believe my eyes. Holy smokes, that was cool.
I will forever love this video!
This is such a great hobby. I wish that the excitement in rocket launching today was more than just a hobby...
I'm from Maryland but had to look up where Price was. Fortunately you guys are out in the sticks with lots of flat farmland. We are inside the Special Flight Restriction Zone protecting DC and this would never be allowed here. GREAT rocket and great video.
You guys are crazy - in a spectacular, inspirational and joyous way. Bravo!
Thumbs up for both the idea and for the music.
that was the greatest, most awe inspiring thing ive ever seen. bravo, sir.
Excellent job synchronizing the music to the video. Well done!
This is simply one of the best videos on all of KZread. Super!!!!!!
wow!!!! i love the chutes delay, made look like it was in space for a few seconds!
Who ever did this is an absolute legend!
This was the most beatiful thing I've seen in a long time.
beautiful launch, no wobble at all-perfectly straight

@fucKdaRicers "for that big of a rocket" is exactly what kept it that low. It weighed 1600 pounds, It's hard to get that much weight very high...
Brings chills watching this!!
I came back here after seeing the SpaceX Starship launch. It's bigger than the Saturn, I guess...more powerful too. But it looked like a toy or a cheap 50's prop. Nothing...ever...will match the grandeur and awesome power of the Saturn V. And Steve Eves's flight is the greatest model rocket launch of all time.

Really cool. Didn't know models Could be made that large. Enjoyed the video!
Wow, they7 finally came up with something worth going to Maryland to see!
Nice and I love the sound that makes too.
Great flight, but there's another KZread video of this rocket that I think is better. It doesn't have the music, yet you can very clearly see and HEAR all the action, with NO interference from other noises.
I think this is a great example of what people can do when they follow their dream. Well done to all involved.
What size motor? More info, please.
This was the most awesome, exciting video I have seen in a long time. I have dreamed of something like that, but I didn't think anyone could do it--congratulations! Did you need clearance from nearby airports before launch? It looks like you achieved a pretty decent altitude. Also, it looked like solid fuel--were they homemade engines?
I'm speechless. That was amazing.
Man, that's just outrageous... Would like to see this with about 4 cameras on it, up close, etc, and then slow the video down about 1/4. I bet it would look like the real thing!!
Anyone know what happened to the video of a large 30 foot Saturn 5 rocket cato'ing? Had some really cool on board videos of the poster coming apart
Holy shit! When I clicked the link I thought it would be hobby-rocket size, but I was impressed at the 10:1, and then when I actually saw it, I was gobsmacked!
One Word "Epic" Thank you for your time and goodnight.
