Footage of the Apollo 16 launch on April 16, 1972, with the audio from the official broadcast.
In the final minute of the countdown the spacecraft switches to internal power and John Young announces guidance alignment, the crew's last action before liftoff. After guidance release, the engines reach about 7.7 million pounds of thrust, the rocket clears the tower and Houston takes over control.
The pitch and roll program begins. Around one minute and 12 seconds it is announced that the spacecraft could already splash down in the event of an abort, and at one minute and 41 seconds it passes through max aerodynamic pressure. Everything proceeds normally.
