Description
Brief view of the White Room as the crew board the spacecraft. Top shot of the Command Module at the top of the rocket stack. Wide shot of the Saturn V on the pad as a flock of birds take off. Shots of the Launch Control room. Man turns around in his seat and takes a look at the pad with his binoculars. Close up shots of the main engines from the flame trench. Spectacular ignition shots from this camera view too. Shot from the gantry as a swing arm shifts away and the rocket starts to move - passing the camera as ice falls away from its side. Jack King - the voice of Launch Control provides a running commentary. "We are go for a mission to the Moon at this time. Tom Stafford reports they are GO for coming up on the 20 second mark.

Launch commit. We have lift off. Lift off 49 minutes past the hour."
