Apollo 11 Saturn V takeoff.

I came across this on the internet and found it rather cool. It is a film taken during the liftoff of Apollo 11 with the camera running at 500 frames per second versus the usual 24 frames for a movie. The super slow motion shows the ignition and lift off in minute detail. The film runs for 8 minutes but in real time it is only 30 seconds.
