Description
The swing arm at the top of the second stage detaches and swings back - the yellow gantry obscuring the view of the rocket which rises past the camera beyond in a storm of vapor and debris.

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.
