This very-slow-motion footage of the Saturn V taking off is one of the more impressive pieces of footage I've ever seen. The entire launch process is described in detail, too.

Watching the entire launchpad engulfed in a fireball is crazy enough. Watching that fireball reverse direction and get /sucked/ down the exhaust hole as the F-1 engines quickly ramp up to that incredible 1.5M lb of thrust is, for me, up there with the photos of Sandia's Z-Machine as evidence that the Cool Sci-Fi Future has indeed arrived.
