launch music videos

This is one of my favorite youtube videos:

It's footage of a Saturn V launch - the kind of thing we've all seen before. But what makes it special is the music. Music gives it an unusually powerful emotional impact in my opinion.

Anyone aware of any similar videos?

What about Svector's Lunar Legacy Part 5 with the Apollo 11 footage and Adiemus? Most of this isn't launch footage, but the music does make it more powerful.

Somewhere I have a clip with an F-1 test firing that I set to the "Dies Irae" from Verdi's Messa da Requiem. You want a good Dies Irae, you gotta hire an opera composer.

thanks for the link laurel.

Jay, compare this arrangement of Verdi's Dies Irae with this clearly superior one from Mozart's Requiem.

SpaceX made a video of their successful Falcon 1 flight set to Crystal Method's "High Roller":

Someone worked really hard to Mickey Mouse it (sync video events with musical hits).

Unfortunately my dialup connection is too slow to check out the above links, but you folk have forced me to get out the DVD of the movie In the Shadow of the Moon and re-watch the beautiful slow-motion liftoff of the Saturn-V between 0:37:28 and 0:39:25 with the amazing, specially-composed music. It's great the way it starts out quietly with what sounds like marimbas then slowly builds, and later comes the beautiful folky violin and finally the booming, crackling roar of the five engines. It's a pity it doesn't last longer, but it still gives me the feeling of, "Hey, those guys are taking a small skyscraper and flinging it up into the air with humans on board."

Thanks for sharing that! And I like the emphasis on "Man must explore."

I have a nitpick with the title "Rocking Moon Mission" since the pictures and videos used are from more than one mission, but I do like the energetic song.

Thanks Laurel for posting this one here, I'd totally missed this thread.

The song is one of my favorites too

I'm not so fussed about the mixing of the footage, the video is after all a tribute to the entire program and at least he put the footage in the right order.

Anyone got any idea just which mission footage/photographs were used?

The only ones that came to my head right away is the LM launch from Apollo 17, the shot of Armstrong et al in their quarantine box, the jump salute from Apollo 16 and possibly some of the unscheduled footage from Apollo 11.
