July 16th, 1969. Where were you?
Watching this video is spellbinding. As the time counts down the tension builds and when the announcer marks the 60 second point a tingle ran up my spine. When the 10 second count down started I almost was having trouble breathing it was so exciting for me. When the engines ignite that giant Saturn V rocket lumbers off the launch pad like a drowsy giant getting up from the dinner table. Compared to this beast the shuttles are thoroughbred race horses; they almost leap off the pads.
Watch the video and relive those exciting days. It doesn't get much better than this.
