Subject: RE: [newmellotrongroup] other Apollo 11

Hi Tony,
 
That is amazing.  I know a few people that have seen the Shuttle launch from many miles away and they described the sound as incredible.  How close were you and what did the Saturn V sound like?  Kind of a dumb question because probably indescribable, but I imagine even several miles away it was felt as well as heard.

I am fortunate enough to have seen Apollo 11 launched in person, July 16, 1969.
Guess they managed to pull off quite a trick indeed!
