Wow. That was some combustion going on there. I am amazed at how quickly the new ships get up into the air from the time they move from ignition to liftoff.
That video was four minutes long - and from the time it took Apollo to lift off to the time it was no longer viewable on-screen was seconds. Now, they are much quicker into the air, and the cameras can see much farther along.
Yet, it was better television 40 years ago.

No...that was Carl Weathers who played Apollo. Nice try though.

And here I thought it was Karl Rove who manipulated the weather.
Huh.

for a while there, Mike Eisner controlled the florida weather. i'm not sure who controls thhe weather there now. might be one of the Bush boys.
