Man, still love this scene. People who like to deny we've been to the moon always like to remark that we didn't have the tech to make it. They are right...they just didn't let that stop them.

The astronaut portrayed by Gary Sinise - TK 'Ken' Mattingly - died 10.31.23 age 87. He became the command module pilot (CMP) on Apollo 16 and commanded two space shuttle missions.

The 90s were the best time for films for my generation. This film is a masterclass example for filmmaking, editing, direction, music, writing, acting, effect (CGI PLUS PRACTICAL). Now what is left? I rewatch old movies instead of new ones.
-
I know the mission failed to do its objectives but every astronought who rode the magnificent Apollo rocket has my undying respect.
-
The music makes the whole movie, a fantastic soundtrack.
-
I must have watched this sequence hundreds of times by now... It never gets old! 🚀❤ Ron should have got an Oscar for this masterpiece.
-
My earliest memory at 4 years old was watching the liftoff. My mum was ironing my dads shirts, and she had yellow trousers and a blue top, and she said to me “look David, men are going to the moon!”. I’ll never forget that memory.
-
The music is well done and really adds a lot of emotion to this
-
We were one of the first houses with a home theatre complete with an active subwoofer. I would play this scene on a laser disc THX sound system on an old 36 inch CRT... the whole house would shake and the dishes would rattle upstairs. It was fantastic!
-
Kudos to the cast and crew for creating a film that not only entertains but also leaves a lasting impact. A true testament to the power of storytelling.
-
When you watch this film you realise the bravery of the astronauts, the professionalism of Mission Control and the brilliance of all the engineers and ground crew , all 400,000 of them . Proud that I’m an engineer as well and the Apollo missions inspired me to become an engineer 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍
-
My favorite part of the whole film...never ceases to make my heart hurry. Absolutely beautiful in all its elements!
-
If this movie ever shows up in the theatre again make sure you see it in an Imax theatre. I still get goose bumps decades later when viewing this launch clip.
-
This stuff makes me cry, because it actually happened and it was fucking spectacular.
-
The launching gave me chills!
-
I like the fact the Surgeon is a smoker. Only in the lates 60s and early 70s would you see this.
-
Now with the Artemis program going on with NASA it was only fair to watch this one again to know where this all began just getting the biggest chills.
-
Am I the only one dropping tears lke crazy watching this?
-
RIP, Ken Mattingly. They don't make em like you anymore...
-
One of the best scenes ever 🍿 🎬
