The launch you feel in your sternum before you hear in your ears

Put this on at reference and the room changes shape. Saturn V ignition isn't a sound effect — it's a sustained pressure event that loads the floor and your sternum for minutes, holding through staging without ever thinning out. Mission Control breathes around you: ventilation hum, console clatter, the soft weave of overlapping chatter in the rears. Then the oxygen tank goes and the bang hits like a struck bell, ringing into a cabin that suddenly feels too small. The CO2 scrubber sequence trades on tiny Foley — tape, cardboard, breath — and you lean forward for it. Reentry is the trick: plasma scrubs the ceiling, then silence, then chutes, then ocean. Radio voices stay deliberately pinched and period-correct. Heights are accents, not architecture — the 1995 bones show — but the LFE and dynamics are reference, full stop.
