I quite like being proved wrong... Thanks guys!

I always assumed that the footage used in the famous launch tower shots (also seen in Apollo 13) was slowed down. I guess I was wrong there too.

thrust is apparently somewhere in the region of 35 MN (Mega Newtons) which is an awful lot, but doesn't result in massive acceleration right off
