Once I saw a short movie on TV. It was about the daily activities
of a family, IIRC, where everyone was following his own business,
everyday things. For some reason, near the end of the movie, they
gathered into a car for some unknown reason and drove away. At the
end one saw that they had travelled to some point where they were
then able to watch a start of what seemed to be a Saturn V.

Please let me know if anyone knows the title of this movie! I might
have seen it in the 80s, certainly not after the 90s.

Just a note: Apollo 11 launched on 16 July 1969, landed on 20 July 1969.
On 15 July, they were still in transit to the moon.

Oops. They were in pre-launch quarantine at Cape Canaveral.

Yeah, I realized the date error and sent a superseding message
correcting the error. But of course group moderation messed that up.
