and a quick note here:
I realize that Apollo 17 technically launched during a new moon...the statement that "all Apollo flights launched when the Moon was in first quarter", while largely accurate, IS a generality and should be taken as such. There were nuances to each flight trajectory, in terms of the amount of midcourse burns and inclination north/south.
Special thanks to Lunarmodule5 for his excellent Apollo 12 audio, please go see his channel, it's THE place for Apollo content on UA-cam.
Apollo 12 footage available at Spacehistory.TV
Alan Bean was a client of my company when he began his art career. The employees always let me answer the phone when he called in. I finally gained enough courage to tell him about my space/astronaut fascination and he mailed my sons some signed memorabilia. Such a nice guy. Well done documentary. Thank you.
now THAT is cool
Apollo 12 has always been my favourite. It was a bunch of friends who decided to go to the moon together. While they were always the utmost professionals, you could tell they were having the time of their lives.
This sentiment is nice, don't get me wrong, but they didn't "decide to go to the moon together". The crew of Apollo missions was decided by someone else (Deke Slayton). Of course camaraderie plays a small role in Deke's decision, but this notion that three guys got together and decided on their own to go to the moon is not how it happened. Really the entire corp of astronauts and their families were all friends aside from a few outliers. I think any crew might have had the same sort of "fun" together on Apollo 12. It wasn't necessarily a matter of closeness, but of the astronauts becoming somewhat complacent. They had Apollo 8, Apollo 10, and Apollo 11 under the belts of the program and missions to the moon were becoming somewhat "routine", so the tension over these missions was starting to dissipate right around Apollo 12. Of course, they still took the mission seriously, and they were as professional a crew as any other - but a lot of the totally unknowns that prior missions had as a backdrop just didn't exist, so perhaps that manifested itself as what you would call a playful "time of their lives" sort of vibe.
they also were the only mission to visit a lunar probe
Pete to Alan: “I’m like the guy waiting for his wife at the market, holding the bags.” 😁The Apollo 12 astronauts were so much fun!🤗👏🇺🇸
I had the honour of flying a Hughes 500 around Sydney Australia with Pete Conrad when he was McDonnell Douglas Senior VP for international business development. He was a quiet low profile kinda guy who was very gracious and engaging …. Then out would pop his underlying love of life and his sense of humour. He could fly basically anything created by man. I am proud to boast of that aviation highlight in my life.
@@willoughbykrenzteinburg Not "quite" right. Deke would start selecting a commander and then provided him with a choice of options, if there were any. Since Pete and Dick, who had known each orher for years, and had formed a well-matching couple on GT-11, Dick was kind of a natural choice. Note that C. C. Williams wss the original LMP in Pete's crew. After he had been killed in a T-38 crash, indeed it was Pete who opted to have Al as his LMP. So in effect, they were a band of good friends who had the joy of flying together. And you won't find any Apollo crew that would have that much fun together.
Btw., you'll notice there are four stars onthe mission patch. The fourth stands for C. C. Williams.
Clear, straight to the point, without useless and silly CGI eyecandies, no actors, only real footage, real people, and pretty accurate descriptions. This is how a professional documentary should be. Discovery and History Channel should learn from you! Good job man.
Thanks Deimos!
Perfectly said, Deimos.
Agree
CGI only used to show what couldn't be shown.
I watch these docs over and over. I cry, and laugh, and think "Thank you, Homemade Docs" ❤ Just beautiful.
This is THE absolute Apollo documentary in existence. I started it on whim and found myself riveted to my seat until the end.
So glad you liked it! After a string of negative comments, this means a lot.
Ur in for a treat....so many great documentaries...enjoy.
Just finished Apollo 16 which came out 2 week ago. It’s HBO documentary quality. Go in order !!
@@JacksonTyler man amazing job loved it and dont let the neg comments bother you keep being yourself and keep doing you very good job screw the haters have a good man keep ya head up and just ignore the haters
My favorite thing about the early space missions from Mercury through Apollo is hearing first time astronauts exclaim about the rumble, the g, the views, and just the feeling over comm - these are all top tier military men but they still feel like they've got to report it over the radio.. maybe for the public but you don't see that anymore. Really brings home how absolutely insane the first people to strap themselves to a massive rocket must've felt when they were rocketing at hypersonic speeds out of the atmosphere... thank you for including so much comm it's the best part to me.
*"SCE to AUX."* One of the greatest and most intelligent things anyone has ever said.
Thank goodness for John Aaron.
That steeley eyed missle man
"The Earth is indeed round" What a profound statement :)
Wow, I had no idea the legendary "SCE to AUX" call was made so fast. There was only 50 seconds from the lightning strike to John Aaron's suggestion to the Flight Director, which means he figured the problem out in *less* than 50 seconds. WOW!
John saved the mission. He had seen goofy telemetry in his early career dealing with missiles. When he saw what happened he gave the famous command! They should not have launched, l believe later flights would not go up in same conditions
I think there was an interview with him where he said that he had some experience with using the SCE to AUX switch. It was amazing that he recalled it during a stressful time.
@@garylucas6511 this is correct
He saved the entire Apollo Program in 50 seconds. 🎖️🎖️
Steely eyed missile man
Another masterpiece. Congratulations! I met Alan Bean, Gordon Cooper and Pete Conrad when they came to Venezuela after their flight. I was 14 years old and already an expert in all things Apollo, so I was invited to the press conference to ask them a question. I gave them a replica of the LEM made entirely of cardboard and they signed it for posterity. A few years later I received the moon rock that NASA donated to Venezuela from the hands of Jack Schmitt. Your documentaries have brought all these memories back. If you ever want to see the pictures I took of both events, let's talk. Congratulations again!
Alan Bean was a real gentleman.... I miss him a lot. RIP Beano .
Wonderful piece again by the producer.
Thank you !
Got to meet him once! Real nice man.
My brother met that literal artist too. I recall a quote of his. In old age in retirement, eating a cup of ice cream and people watching in the mall, observing behaviour, then going outside to feel the cold wind on his face that he could not behind a helmet on the Ocean of storms in 1969
For sure. I got to meet Bean in 2009 at a 40th anniversary presentation. I was outside, and he came over to me and we looked up at the moon and he pointed out and described their landing site. It was such a cool moment! Very nice guy, and also had a great sense of humor.
@@erac5855 THAT is so cool !!
The Best depiction of Apollo 12 that has ever been made. The graphics, stereo sound , and over all quality really capture the scope of this endeavor. Thank you homemade for creating such an important account of history.
the crew chemistry is awesome. sounds like a way more fun time than 11
Well, they also didn't have the entirety of humankind on their shoulders.
ya exactly, apollo 11 was shooting a dart at the moon and hoping it sticks intact and then get off, with the future of the world behind em, this one was a "well we already did it lets do it better"@@kinderfett5259
Way more fun than 13.
No no no, you can’t fool me. You’re a professional. Absolutely perfect doc. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Greetings! I was in high school when I made this! I Swear.
@@JacksonTyler Man you are incredible. And you can do and have anything you want in life.
hey it doesn't say amateur, just homemade 😆
pro in my book.
@@elen5871 Totally agreed! Keep on going your magnificent work. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
@@JacksonTyler Say again? You were honestly in high school when you made some of these? Man, I guess high school has changed since my days. College now? Either way, you have done marvelous work, and many of us are the benefactors. Thank you!
Beautiful, clear film. 'Pete' Conrad was the glue that kept this crew together. But his greatest achievement was saving Skylab.
Watching this for the third time. I wish the pro's would take after this format and top-shelf level quality. I get more enjoyment, entertainment and knowledge from your content than the commercial and corporate media sources. Cheers.
Hands down the best series of space documenteries ever. Well done.
Still cant believe how brave the three guys were. The gravity of their balls actually almost shook the orbit of our moon.
Again, so much better than most of the documentaries broadcast on TV. I felt like I was in there with them. Thanks again.
@@Jeff_11B my thoughts exactly, he does a fantastic job of showing a ton of what is usually missed, just watched the Apollo 16 one and it blew me away
instaBlaster
It's not often I watch a clip on YT, being more than one hour long, but what a pleasure this was : well put together, informative, entertaining, even inspirational and with a pleasant voiceover - I'll be comming back to watch all your others clips during this summer - thanks for this fine work 👍
Thank you!
I'll watch hour long space and science clips !!!!
His documentaries are amazing
@@kegyen Magnificent!
@@JacksonTylerI second that sentiment. These are some of the best documentaries on any topic, not just space flight. Please keep up the great work ❤
Outstanding quality as always. Well edited with concise and constructive narration where appropriate. These should be aired on TV
These remastered series are great, I have seen most all of his work but I review them over and over because Jackson pours information with the video that none of us has heard before! Thanks again for your hard Work!
Pete Conrad was such a character. Amazing doc!
These Homemade Documentaries are really marvellous! I just found them recently; I am delighted with them.
As a space nerd child in Ireland, I read, followed & watched all these launches & flights. It’s wonderful to be able to relive those unbelievably exciting & brave days we watched LIVE & felt we were all part of something important & vital.
Thank you so much for these precious memories.
Please keep them coming.
Watching EarthRise live with my late father is always a precious memory - I can watch it again here.
Thanks again.
These are my absolute favorite documentaries on UA-cam. My son and I enjoy watching them on our TV at night. The remastering of these wonderful historical films are amazing. We look forward to seeing more in the future. Thank you for the great work!!
Ah, man. The details. So good. Hit by lightning, landing next to Surveyor, burning out the camera tubes. Crashing into the surface so they seismic activity, if any, could be recorded... and the Moon rings like a bell. The bunnies in the wristband checklist. So good. I think this is my 5th of your Apollo series. Each one has it's own thing, cause you love it so much. Bravo.
My favorite Apollo crew. Everything was fun to them.
And too hot for TV
SCE to AUX. Best call ever.
Beautifully put together doc. World class. All kids should learn about the legendary Apollo missions and you've help make that possible. Thank you.
Wow, I couldn't put the video down until I finished it. I was age 13 at the time and I remember the mission to find Surveyor. It felt like I was there. Amazing how Surveyor landed on side of a small crator and now has a buddy near by..the descent stage of Apollo 12. Its high time to return and visit them again. Thanks for this video.
These videos are great. They not only chronicle historic events, they capture and preserve the very essence of mind, body and spirit that defined those moments. A humble thank you for your exceptional work Homemade Documentaries.
Whenever I think or see Apollo 12 docus, the first thing I always remember is "SCE to Aux".
A great moment!
“I know what it is” chirped Al Bean several octaves higher than usual!
John Aaron, the original steely-eyed missile man
" I know what that is!"
@@abbaszaidi8371 "..and you were aweful quiet I might add!"
Some of the best documentaries I have ever watched. Fantastic job, again. Apollo 12 was always my favorite of the moon missions. The obvious fun this crew had was infectious.
My dad recommended I watch these and he was right! These are amazing!
Glad you enjoy it! I certainly had fun making it.
Great job on this video. Lots of fresh info. I was 15 y.o. for Apollo 11 and followed the entire Space Program. In the midst of Vietnam we had NASA to keep our hopes alive.
What a stellar documentary; the production values are just marvelous! Things like stereo sound with liftoff coms, the writing, fascinating details, graphics, beautiful and precisely on-point music, wow! 💛🙏🏽
When every body ignores the gorilla in the room. 7:52
Wow, from13:18 to 16:00 I was almost holding my breath due to how you managed to catch the intenseness of the situation. Listening to it via headphones gave a bit of the impression of beeing in the room with these guys. Great job!
man I gotta say after watching a couple of these docs it gives me a whole new appreciation for what these men were like and what they accomplished. Incredible
So nice of you to acknowledge LunarModule5 in your description. Its a brilliant site but yours is right there with them buddy, this stuff should be remembered for all time and For All Mankind. I thank you.
I get chills hearing the soundtrack to "Moon Machines" play throughout this episode. I've watched the series about a dozen times before finding your playlist. It fits so well here. Thank you!
I just love your work, Jackson! Not only do your videos bring back great - and sometimes quite sad - memories, but from a technical point of view, they are excellent in content, pacing, editing, and narration. Yours truly is outstanding work and I honestly appreciate it. Well done. 🖖🏼🤙🏼
Stefani,
I’ve been enjoying your kind and heartfelt comments as you have worked through my body of work here. I wanted to give you my thanks and let you know I’ll be uploading an Apollo 17 film hopefully by the 19th.
@@JacksonTyler Thank you so much! 😊 I really do applaud your work and appreciate it both from a personal and a professional perspective. I look forward to seeing your newest production - and anything else you create - with eager anticipation. Please keep up your excellent work! 🖖🏼🤙🏼
Thank you so much for putting all these awesome documentaries together. Your work blows the mainstream documentary production companies out of the water. Please keep doing what you're doing because it is greatly appreciated!
Deeply thankful for your appreciation.
@@JacksonTyler My dude, you deserve all the kudos you get. All of your Apollo docs are above top shelf, you put 'professionals' to absolute shame. You've found your calling my friend.
As incredible as all your other videos! They really deserve many more views, the quality is fantastic
How can I sleep? I just keep watching your videos, which are the best of the best.
Haha! Make sure you get good rest!
Thank you so much for this! Amazing video quality, and a well-crafted document of the mission.
Good afternoon, JT. Todayn I'm cutting out the pieces for two new tunics for my husband. Been binging you all morning, but stopped for a break and thought I'd say hello. Thank you again for the endless hours of wonderful content.😊❤
I am so glad I found you’re channel. My father and I are obsessed with the Apollo missions and you have the best content hands down which shows more than any other I have seen.
I enjoyed the video, very well made with footage and voice recordings I haven't seen before. Thanks!
Incredible work. I came across this randomly and was completely locked in. Quickest hour of my life. So well done, and incredible use of music, had me feeling emotional at points!
WOW, fantastic documentary!! Thank you for posting!
I can tell I'm gonna be addicted to this channel for a while!
Thanks Collin! Glad you like it.
The best part about this documentary is that gerry griffin actually watched this. Congrats on 1000 subs my friend and keep up the fantastic work!
(you can find the proof of gerry griffin watching this video in homemade documentaries latest video near the last 1-2 minutes or so, the 1000 subscriber video).
I think these docs are the absolute best thing out there on the subject. I really, really, really appreciate all the original footage, comms (with subtitles) and letting them do all the talking. You give just the right amount of context, but it really feels like being there and witnessing it. I can't thank you enough for digging deep into the archives and not just recycling the most well-known clips. It's a treasure and I hope it helps more people (like me) understand the absolute magic of these missions. Thanks!!!
You’re channel is so amazing I have enjoyed all of the content you have put together good job!!!
Your documentaries on space exploration are the best I have ever seen. Thank you!
This is so well done. Thank you. Your work is amazing.
Top notch UA-cam documentary!! You sir, deserve millions of subscribers.
So well done as always!!!! Music in this one is perfect. You're a great narrator too. I've seen a lot of documentaries. I mean a lot. Yours rank with the best. Amazing
Thank you, Mark!
What a fantastic documentary......far better than any I have seen in my 68 years of hanging around....growing up 30 miles due west of the Launch Pad, I saw many launches.........and have watched many documentaries......this was the best........Bravo, cheers from Central Florida, Paul
Wow really wonderful footage selection and great summary of the mission.
Apollo moon landings seem to get more amazing with age.
This is what makes America so great, leadership in a new frontier.
Really special.love the channel
Couldn’t agree more!
Beautifully well done. Great work on this production. Thank you so much for sharing. x
Thank you for watching!
You truly make the best documentaries! Keep up the good work
I'm so glad I found this channel and these fantastic documentaries! What a find!
This is a fantastic piece man. Great job.
How on erath do you only have 2800 followers?!
These documentaries are a masterpiece! Thank you!
Thanks Jeff!!
I'm not sure what you're doing now but this is the type of work that you should be doing I've seen almost all of these you have made about the Apollo flights and this is what you should be doing these are amazing and extremely well done
Well, 2 lightnings and thing didn't explode. Good testing people!
Your videos are AMAZING. Thank you, homemade documentaries!
Another great doc! Opening with footage of the Russian rocket lightening strike was a perfect start.
Playboy bunnies on the moon... wonderful!
And the ape at 8 min?!...curiously, only 3 or 4 folks commented on this (less than one percent), imagine others either didn't notice or didn't care to comment. Any idea what that was about? Son of Ham? Practical joke?
Excellent work, as a space and space history fan who grew up with Apollo, I can't get enough of this stuff. Thank you!
Your work is amazing! Keep it up! ❤Love learning about the lesser-known Apollo moon landing missions; 12, 14 and 16, particularly. I think 12 might be my new favourite of the successful landings - it was 17 previously.
(The band-restricted audio recordings of radio transmissions happen to create an amazing retroreflective effect out of the corner of my room. The chances of the conditions being right to create that effect are so slim. Thought I'd add that useless piece of information ... Haha.)
Very nice documentary. So much rare material og put together really nice. Keep up the good work.
The science in this episode is really phenomenal. The angles of the sun on the lunar surface and the Command module is totally fascinating and extremely well presentated. Thank sso much for your dedication to the best journalism on UA-cam. Each episode is more and more engaging. I had forgotten totally about the 2 lightening strikes on launch. Cheers
Thank you a lot for this! It is amazing.
Thank you for watching, Rodrigo!
I did not know about the lightning strike. OMG, that seemed like that was it! That was amazing! We need videos like this for every mission! I hope to see more. The fact that we did this needs to be known. There are too many people who doubt we even went there. That is a different subject entirely, they want to think they are smarter than other people, and that they have "special information" but they need to be told the truth. Because people do not understand how we, they do not understand the tech, went does not mean that we did not go. Amazing work!
This whole thing is excellent. Probably the best doc I've seen on any subject. Just wonderful.
Wow, another great doc... these are better than any others i have watched, thank u again...
Glad you like them. This one was a lot of fun
Love the obscure detail in these documentaries. Great edit.
Simply teriffic! Thank you!!
Dude you made these? They are probaly best space documentaries ive ever seen of apollo program. Ive binge watched almost all of them last night. Lol good stuff. Keep it up. I dont understand why these dont have way more views.
Thank you so much! Yep, one man operation here. The feedback has all been really good. I wish I could upload more often but I am juggling work and school. It’s kind of a niche subject so I don’t expect these videos to really blow up in a big way, but it’s awesome to see that people are enjoying them.
@@JacksonTyler well i enjoy them good stuff. They deff could blow up alot more ive watched alot worse videos with less info that have alot more views. Alot of videos about like the mars rovers and stuff seem to have tons of views maybe more current missions would expand your audience a bit. But i enjoy the history more than the new stuff.
He ain't a dude.
I’m a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude?
A beautifully done set of programs my friend. I always loved Alan Bean`s enthusiasm and excitement, man that was a fun crew.
Excellent Documentary. Love all the technical info intermixed.
Wonderful! I love these documentaries! :)
Thankyou for making this, excellent documentary!
Owsome doc as always with homemade documentaries,this dude should have MANY more subs.
Thank you, these docs are great!
Wow this may be the most accurate uncensored documentary on Ap 12 ever made. Great Job, probably have to blur the naughty bits though for commercial use.
Yeah this was funny but I was totally unaware about P______ B______ on the moon, "mounds and protuberance's oh my".
Yes I have scanned thru the comments no one seems to mention it so not going to explain more
Just watched another excellent video 👌😂
Wow, I`m blown away by the quality of this! By your channel description, it seems youre doing this alone.. unbelievable! Instant sub! Thank you for all your work! Incredible videos, thank you so much for providing them. Love from Germany, Finn
Ich danke dir sehr. Prost aus den USA! Thank you.
Excellent quality documentary- best of the Apollo missions I have seen.
Well done again..! I have read all there is available on "SCE to Aux" ... The more I learn about it the more I Love NASA....! Brains conquer braun...!!!!
Just like being there. I remember watching all the missions on TV, before the TV stations got bored of broadcasting the missions. They didn't seem to care that history was being made, and that people might be interested in watching the flights..
I always thought that the camera was inadvertently pointed directly at the sun while he was mounting it on its stand. Now I know. That reflection was a killer.
The one thing that I am curious about is the footage of the Lunar Module in "flight", once it separated from the CSM. Why is the footage reversed? The large tank is always on the right side, not the left side. Pretty much any footage I see of all the LM's is reversed.
These documentaries are absolutely the best representation of the Apollo Missions.
You should be winning an Academy Award for best documentary series.
Excellent! Once again I couldn't turn away or stop the tape. It was just too good.
Incredible work, with lots of mostly unseen stuff... hats off !!! Way more captivating than the 'professionally' crafted documentaries, with all they fancy eye-candies... Thanks for keeping the bare reality at the center of your work ! Yet you make it also incredibly 'human'...
I love these and have watched them many times. So we’ll done! Thanks for making me feel like a kid again!
The best Apollo documentary I have ever seen,you did a fantastic job,keep it up!👍
I liked a lot the part when you explained about the trajectory.The background voice explaining is very understandable and clear.
Thank you,👍
Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
I knew all that but this is nice. This was one of the first flights there ever. Very well done!
It's even better second time. Good job. Thanks again for sharing this great document 📡🇫🇮
I really enjoy your documentaries, they are so well done and I have learned so much that I didn't know before! I'm 65 and I remember these moon missions well!
That’s awesome! Thank you so much
Well done on making a better documentary than any professional documentary-makers I can think of. Bravo!
Apollo 12 was always my favorite. Loved the crew attitude and kudos to the backup crew for one of the best pranks ever. I lived next to Sue Bean for a couple of years, sweet and very classy lady. She makes a mean casserole.
Another excellent documentary. Thank you.
Another great documentary you are really good at these!
lots of useful information
