Artemis vs Saturn V Liftoff Comparison - SLS, Apollo, Launch, Camera Views, NASA, Apollo 17

Multiple camera side-by-side views comparing SLS to Saturn V liftoff. Two night launches are shown: Artemis 1 on October 20, 2021 and Apollo 17 on December 7, 1972

Sequences are presented at approximate real scale, and synchronized visually to the timing of Solid Rocket Booster ignition. Camera angles were also matched as possible. Audio from SLS is played on the left channel, and from Saturn V on the right.

========================================

The Space Launch System (SLS) is an American super heavy-lift expendable launch vehicle in development by NASA. As the primary launch vehicle of the Artemis moon landing program, SLS is designed to launch the crewed Orion spacecraft on a trans-lunar trajectory. The first SLS launch was the uncrewed Artemis 1, which took place on 16 November 2022.

Saturn V is a retired American super heavy-lift launch vehicle developed by NASA under the Apollo program for human exploration of the Moon. The rocket was human-rated, with three stages, and powered with liquid fuel. It was flown from 1967 to 1973. It was used for nine crewed flights to the Moon, and to launch Skylab, the first American space station.

Never ceases to amaze that the Saturn V was designed and built in the era when the slide rule was king and drafting was done by hand…

[ChicoStopMotion]

The Artemis launch was a hell of a show to watch. So grateful I got to watch it.

1:37 "Artemis, Houston you're go at throttle up."
"Roger, we are go at throttle up!"

[frankgercas]

The Saturn V was an engineering marvel, and a magnificent launch vehicle!! I never get tired of watching these launches. Thanks for posting!!

[rocketdyneF]

I’ve got the Lego Saturn V. I hope they make the SLS too.

[GapsxeGewehr]

No matter how modern SLS is, that launch could never beat the Saturn V punching its way off the ground and through its own smoke cloud and into the air.

[lothareberhard]

The SLS/Artemis launch was on 16. November 2022!

[Sonnell]

"BOOSTERS INGNIDSDSiNNN!!!" never gets old.... :D

[thomasdonlin]

Still can’t beat the Saturn V liftoff!!!

[SlightlySaturated]

The SLS is more advanced and more efficient no doubt about that but the Saturn V has a different awe and magnanimous energy as it steadily and initially slowly rise up like a king commanding attention and respect.

[topsecret]

0:07 Artemis 1 was November 16th 2022, not the date you posted.

Saturn V was hand-built lot of changes were put in on the fly as they didn't have time to go back to changing the plans and republishing.

[leokimvideo]

Maybe the N1 Russian Moon rocket Vs Saturn 5 is needed. Strange to compare technology that has 50 years between them

[ClausB]

They say SLS is more powerful than Saturn V. So why can't it throw as much mass toward the moon? Sure, it has more thrust at liftoff, but those solids taper off as they climb, where the Saturn first stage thrust increased with altitude. Considering the whole flight, Saturn delivered more power where it counted.

Great stuff! The thing I loved about the early launches - always filmed on 16, 35 or 70mm film which has a wide dynamic range and they used up to 4, 000mm focal length lenses. Not what was seen on TV as film needed to be developed, but awesome quality video after the launches. Shuttle launches at these distances I believe were just broadcast video except those high frame per second film cameras on the pad which were developed and analyzed after the fact. Now we’re up to 4K or 8K HDR, but I’m still not sure the quality is as good as film. Close though. I believe the distant film - the “Recording Optical Tracking Instrument” (ROTI) had focal length of up to 12, 700mm, and enough magnification to follow the launch for up to five minutes. Not sure if that was used during STS as much. At least not for broadcast.

[foxmccloud]

Retro Space Hd, do you have any videos of STS-7/Challenger with Sally Ride?

[Nghilifa]

Nasa has got to get rid of that clown who did the commentary of SLS right before liftoff. A PAO should report the events without excitement, and as matter-of-factly as possible.

[Leo.Wirabuana]

its too bad that clark kent impersonator f*** up the historic launch, I mean after 50 years Man. So F up. To change the voice would be silly.

[briansmith]

Artemis is a joke compared to the Saturn V liftoffs. It's designed to be.

[MrMisterock]

God bless their souls, it was not their faults.
