Forty three years ago, on July 16, 1969, and forty two years before the Space Shuttle landed for the last time, three men would travel to the moon, set foot there, take a few photos, and come back. In tribute, I made this video with music courtesy of Burning Star Core using amazing lift-off footage captured from the umbilical tower of the Saturn V launch pad by a 16mm camera that was running at a whopping — but normal-for-NASA — 500 frames per second.
