The Apollo 11 Launch in Super Slow Motion, July 16, 1969

On July 16, 1969 Apollo 11 blasted the first humans to the moon.

 

COMPOSITE PIC: 5 frame shot of the gantry retracting while the Saturn V boosters lift off to carry the Apollo 11 astronauts to the Moon.

 

The exciting countdown to blast off and the thrilling sight of the rockets leaving the ground can be seen in this great video which stretches 30 seconds of action to over eight minutes of viewing time.
