If you like NASA history, you may enjoy this rare footage.
Apollo 12 Multilateral to London, from T-21minutes to Meco.. Features heavy thunder boom seconds after launch when the Saturn V was struck by lightning. President Nixon in attendance. Note audio switching between music circuit (high quality) and backup, telco line. Archive release from undergroundvideouk personal collection. Note this is a PAL Feed from Washington, so the early NTSC to PAL Conversions shows how bad US TV was in Europe.. Low chroma and soft image slightly corrected.
A great launch despite the weather. Apollo 16 from T-16, with James Burke BBC science correspondent on site, to follow.
