Apollo Saturn V staging (at aproximately real speed)

These images were taken on the Apollo 4 and Apollo 6 Saturn V test flights. They are often mistakenly attributed to Apollo 11. They’re iconic, but when seen, they are usually played back at about 1/4 the speed of the actual event. The cameras were running at 4x normal speed (About 96 fps). Here’s what it would look like if you were really there and saw it happen in real time.
