Description
View looking down onto the first stage of a Saturn V on the pad during the last minute before ignition and launch. A small explosion of cryogenic fuel boils out from a vent as a swing arm detaches and swings back. Ignition happens at one minute into the clip and the oxygen in the flame trench is suddenly used up sucking in air around it and from above. The vibrations start to shake ice from the outside of the rocket and large white slabs and fragments of it start to tumble into shot. The ice forms on the outside of the super-cooled rocket from frozen moisture in the atmosphere. The restraining brackets in the base release and the rocket rises out of the view, hurling heat and vapor and debris down spectacularly onto the pad as it rises away from the ground.

Historic Context of Clip
Background to Saturn:
The Saturn V, was a multistage liquid-fuel expendable rocket used by NASA's Apollo and Skylab programs. It remains the most powerful launch vehicle ever brought to operational status, from a height, weight and payload standpoint, although the Russian Energia, which flew only two test missions, had slightly more takeoff thrust. In all, NASA launched thirteen Saturn V rockets between 1967 and 1973, with no loss of payload. The three stages of the Saturn V were developed by various NASA contractors, but following a sequence of mergers and takeovers all of them are now owned by Boeing.
