Artemis SLS vs Apollo Saturn V Lift Off to Tower Clear

Note - These approximate lift off times only. Each Saturn V had a different clear tower time (as will SLS) due to load weights, timing, etc.

However, we can see how the SLS with the two Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) and four RS-25's is significantly faster than the Saturn V with it's five F-1 engines.

Artemis SLS Footage is my own taken November 16th, 2022 at the 1:47AM launch from the Apollo/Saturn viewing facility at Banana Creek, Cape Canaveral, FL.
