Saturn Five
Saturn Five lifts an Apollo spacecraft into an 8 1/2-orbital flight from Cape Kennedy, splashing down in the Pacific. It renews hope that American astronauts will be on the moon by 1969. The giant rocket's lift-off makes Cape Kennedy tremble with reverberations. A black screen reads, "Moon Flight - Saturn V Blasts Off." A distant shots of the rocket from a fare. The grandstands from which sightseers will watch the launch. Close-up of the rocket and tower during ignition. It's a night launch, and the fire causes the area around the launch pad to glow. Continuing footage shows the rocket blasting into the sky. The capsule from the rocket floats in the ocean. A man stands on its' outer rim. Workers drag the capsule aboard a ship.
