      The opening scene is of a Saturn launch vehicle then it switches to an early Atlas launch vehicle; some combined the two scenes to make the YouTube video.
      Early launch vehicles were not that reliable and two causes of destruction are faulty/non-performing hardware or a launch vehicle departing from its planed trajectory. In both cases the vehicle either self-destructs or is command destructed from the ground.
      Not many people are aware that the Space Shuttle had a command destruct system (the two solid rocket boosters were purposely destroyed on the final Challenger flight).

        The combination of the footage was done in the editing room for the film Koyaanisqatsi.

          Do we think that procedures were followed correctly?
