Why does footage of rocket launches by space agencies look so slow?

621 views

You see video of rockets with munitions in them like surface -to-air and plane mounted rockets and they seem to move so quick. Why do these massive rockets seem to move slow? Is it payload? Do they speed up as they reach the stratosphere?

A lot of it has to do with mass but, If spaceflight rockets accelerated like military rockets did, it would kill the human occupants.
