The BEST TIMED Shot in TV HISTORY?

Mix a super hot curry and a few largers together, release under pressure, you get that.......

'Destination the Moon or Moscow.' british humor always edgy never boring

It's a brilliant moment. But, it was only recently I realised that the preamble, as he walks along the side of the Saturn V rocket, is a separate scene, with the final few seconds edited in at the end.

Connections was the most inspiring show ever

I miss this show.

This guy just made all women’s panties wet.

The BBV sucks!

You mean the nazi

Nazis helped us get to the moon with their technology.There would be no NASA.
Nazi American Space Agency.

British Guy is making it more complicated in a posh way. Just say Compressed Air and Kerosene.

That is not Hydrogen if it was the flame would be Blue and most Hydrogen is made from Natural Gas or Cow Farts.

Best scifi I've ever scean... ERIC DUBAY ... LEARN THE TRUTH... quite following like a sheep a letting them steal all your taxes for sci fi rockets...lolololol

All the pictures of the moon landings are fake

Look up Weiner Von Brauns tombstone, where he apologizes for being part of the lies. 😊😏 Space is fake

They edited the sound to match the rocket, lol. He's still several miles away and the sound would take 10-15 sec to reach him.

He’s a wizard

Did they have the countdown going on? He could have timed himself speaking the words and then hey presto.

James Burke, science history goat. Connections is brilliant.

Operation paperclip

Nazi Germany did wonderful things for the world to enjoy.
Thank you Adolfo

Too Bad Space is Fake 😂!

If only Space Travel were Possible, hey? 🤣

Is James Burke still alive?

Uh, well, no, not quite. The first stage of the Saturn V was fueled by RP-1 (basically a highly refined version of Kerosene) with liquid oxygen as the oxidizer. The second and third stages were indeed fueled by liquid hydrogen with liquid oxygen as the oxidizer. The launch behind Burke was a Titan III-Centaur (Titan IIIE) and what you see below is mostly the exhaust of the two solid strap-on rocket boosters on either side of the Titan II core vehicle.

Still rewatch it

Dear internet, Wernher Von Braun was a top Nazi scientist who built the rockets Hitler used to bomb Europe. He was among the murderers that CIA secretly smuggled into America after WWII to build rockets.

The Moscow comment 😂😂😂

James Burke spoke about the set up of this shot at Bluedot Festival in 2019. He said:

"The great thing about NASA is 99.9% of the time it does what it says it's going to do, like launches.

And so the walk down the side of the rocket is much longer and I wrote that and did that and then that last cut where you cut to a tight shot of, in the distance, an out of focus rocket and I walk in, I wrote ten seconds of words.

It takes one second to walk in, so that's eleven, it takes one second to point, one second to pull focus so that you focus the rocket. And the rocket goes. So it's thirteen seconds. And  we could hear the countdown coming from the loudspeakers, so at thirteen seconds to go I stepped in and did my bit.

We took it home and said to the BBC, "Look what we did!" and they said, "Yeah, it looks like back projection."

(Bluedot uploaded the interview clip to their Twitter channel on 28 October 2019)

Smoother than a babies behind

or destination f***d

Perfect timing 😮!

Wrong kind of rocket for that explanation.

The moon.....or Moscow 😅

Connections Series 1 Episode 8 "Eat, Drink and be Merry!!"

Moon or Moscow. And you tell that the rusians are treathing USA. CIA is a terrorist Organization.

No dude

Yes

Back when we called Beijing by it's correct name

But then… China happened.

Brilliant!

Of course you realize, James Burke, that Wernher von Braun and his Peenemünde German expats landed American astronauts on the moon very close to a mere 25 years to the hour after Baron von Stauffenberg 's unsuccessful coup attempt resulted in his summary execution at the Bendler
block in Berlin on July 20th 1944 about midnight. Such coincidences or synchronicities bring tears to the eyes of us history buffs, don't they?

Except that Saturn 5 was about 30 times that little puny girly rocket. The S5 was built in my hometown and the ground would shake for 50 miles when they tested those engines

Rockets are now obsolete. Good for fireworks and missiles only.

😂😂😂 Destination... .to the Moon. .. .or Russia..

"the moon or moscow" was a terrible joke.

Yes the USA captured Hundreds of Nazi scientists at the end of ww2 and Von Braun was one of these , the US government Made them all US Citizens, that's how the USA got to Space and the Moon , and the USA did not win WW2 the Russian's did , they got to Berlin first and stopped the German's and captured Berlin .

Best take ever.
Burke is a national treasure.

He was a good Nazi, did horrible things to human kind but yet he gets worshipped…

Chaina🎉

Simply amazing. I’ve watched that clip over and over again.
