As we draw nearer to the 50th anniversary of mankind taking the first steps on the surface of another celestial body, other than Earth, I wanted to post a video I made a few years ago to commemorate the very machine without which that feat would have been impossible. I needn’t say anything else. As of this writing, it is STILL the most powerful rocket ever to be put into service. That could change in a few years but hey, 50+ years isn’t a bad run.
As a side note. I was working on remastering this and remixing it a bit but I have to be honest, the more I tinker with it, the further away it gets from the sound I wanted. This is the sound I wanted. If you want to hear a wee bit of the inspiration behind the tempo and beat of this song, listen to Royksopp’s Keyboard Milk. One of the most powerfully written, mixed and mastered songs on the planet. I’m not being subjective either. It’s textbook in how you want to construct a song from start to finish. Obviously, not everyone will like it, but the methods are flawless.
The artsy cool music video version
The “holy crap we’re all going to die” version (this is where I first heard it)
