Скачать или смотреть Apollo 11's Journey to Space: A Real-time Altitude Visualization

Experience the historic Apollo 11 launch like never before! This unique split-screen visualization places the original launch footage beside a digital altimeter that tracks the Saturn V rocket's incredible ascent in real-time.
What You'll See:

Left screen: Original NASA footage of Apollo 11's powerful liftoff and ascent
Right screen: A precision altimeter displaying real-time altitude, velocity, and acceleration data
Key milestone markers showing atmospheric layers and the Kármán line (100km/62mi)

Watch as the massive Saturn V rocket slowly clears the launch tower, then rapidly accelerates through the troposphere. Marvel at how quickly it punches through weather systems in the lower atmosphere, encounters max Q (maximum aerodynamic pressure) at around 12km, and then dramatically picks up speed as it reaches thinner air.
The altimeter clearly shows the rocket's journey through each atmospheric layer:

Troposphere (0-12km): Where our weather occurs
Stratosphere (12-50km): Home to the ozone layer
Mesosphere (50-85km): Where temperatures plummet to -90°C
Thermosphere (85km+): Where the atmosphere becomes extremely thin

The moment Apollo 11 crosses the Kármán line at 100km (62 miles) is highlighted with a special marker—this is the internationally recognized boundary of space! But the journey doesn't end there...
Follow along as the Saturn V continues its acceleration to orbital velocity, eventually reaching more than 28,000 km/h (17,400 mph) to achieve Earth orbit at approximately 190km (118 miles) altitude.
This visualization puts into perspective the extraordinary engineering achievement that was Apollo 11—demonstrating just how quickly and powerfully humans first reached for the stars. The entire journey from launchpad to crossing the boundary of space took less than 3 minutes!
