Have a slow motion video of the launch pad with commentary explaining what is going on. I know this has been posted before on here, but I'm not sure if it has been posted today or not. Either way, here is 8:43 seconds of Saturn V / Apollo 11 awesomeness. And for anyone who is going to be in the Houston area, take the time to ride out to Johnson Space Center and take a look at the Saturn V they have there. It is well worth it, even if you don't get a chance to make it to the museum. It is the most amazing, awe inspiring machine I have ever been in the presence of. I'm not ashamed to admit that at one point my eyes got a little dusty being that close to it.
