I never saw a Saturn V launch, but I have seen a Shuttle launch in the flesh and that was pretty impressive. It turned night into day.

I think it was "Challenger"

WHY DOESNT NASA OR SOMEONE DO A sATURN V LAUNCH SIMULATOR
AS AN ASTRONAUT OR A SPECTATOR

AWESOME IDEA....JUST FOR THOSE THAT MISSED IT.

Like you Pete i have seen a shuttle launch and heard it return....funny story there...it was an early morning launch.....jaw dropping how the rockets can even turn early morning to mid afternoon brightness so quickly.

And the sonic booms on re entry so loud and quite frequent due to its speed
