For a moment I thought the advertiser link said Shea Thunderwear. Same difference, I guess.
I really, really don't care about your underwear.
Please do a video on your own AI calling the moon photos from Apollo 11, fake. Please. People need to know this. Plus, no mention of the VAB ? That's relevant because one of those astronauts, the fraudster Allan Bean, didn't even know what they are or where they are. Watch his ridiculous interview where he virtually calls himself a liar, its hilarious, but you won't of course. You people making money from this now disproven charade don't want the truth.... do you ?
Can you not see through the lies, they lost the telemetry? Video ? Technical data? The moon rocks are fake, VAB, ..... with one millionth the computer power of your phone ? You don't seem stupid.
365 miles above Earth, that's our limit. Your misinformation is helping no one.
No response, typically, because you know now, that the moon men are dusted. Buzz needs to be behind bars for his involvement with.....you know who, 3 letter word. Its over now, thank God.
A rubber room.
A rubber room with rats.
And rats make me crazy.
Crazy?
I was crazy once.
They locked me in a room.
Sane? I was sane once. They locked me in a room. A regular room. A regular room without rats. The absence of rats made me sane.
@@WyattOShea I miss the rats, they were my friends while I was crazy.

This is what I came here for
Was I the only one that thought, because of the thumbnail, that Simon was gonna tell us about a rubber room ON the shuttle just in case of people going insane while in space?
I thought it might be a training room to get astronauts used to isolation/silence.
I thought mite be his basement where he keeps the writers.
@@Joe_Dirt82😅😂
Probably because most people know that the Shuttle wasn't part of the Apollo programme.
For whatever reason I just assumed it was on the ISS.

Appreciated!
The last piece of footage you used is pretty awesome too.
The vertical pan was controlled manually from the ground. The operator had to send the pan command before the ascent module engine fired, as he had to account for the several second time delay. He also had to guess the rate of the pan as well because it would be double the time before he saw anything and was able to correct it, but by then the shot was basically complete.
As we can all see, itvall came together and worked out perfectly!
It was a 'tilt' command, not a pan. (pan is left and right, tilt is up and down)
Will you please wake up for God's sake. AI just confirmed what anyone with a normal functioning brain already knew, the moon photos are fake, no one has been through the VAB and you really need to wipe your eyes. Please, use your bloody brain.
He was not even looking at the monitor (to avoid distraction)
Well, they got it on the third try, which was Apollo 17, because on Apollo 15 the tilt mechanism malfunctioned so they kept the camera stationary and on Apollo 16 the astronauts parked the rover too close so the tilt rate couldn't keep up... Which was lucky, considering that was the last Apollo mission to land on the moon.
the hot mic's have got to be one of my favorite parts of the missions, beside the technological marvels themselves. it really humanizes the men that went up there in a way that a speech or textbook just cant. like sure, i know they were people like you and me, but you never really acknowledge that mentally until you hear one of the most badass men ever say "ive got the farts again"
You need to stop watching Disney and wake up. No man has been on the moon. Ever. VAB prevents this.
Apollo 11’s landing spot on the Moon was called “Tranquility Base.” But Apollo 12 commander Pete Conrad was somewhat more prosaic and named where he and Alan Bean landed “Pete’s Parking Lot.” The NASA robotic lunar lander Surveyor 3 (which was sent to the Moon in 1967) was just a few dozen meters away from where Conrad and Bean set down, so the name seemed like a good idea at the time. Maybe not quite as historic as where Armstrong and Aldrin landed, but a name you couldn’t forget.
Excellent!
NASA did not land men on the Moon. They did not have the technology. Why do you think no country including Russia, China & America has launched modern manned Moon missions 50+ years later? NASA claims to have lost the records & tech it used for Apollo & to have misplaced the “Moon Rocks.” The 1969 “landing” was staged on a Hollywood set. Proof is available if you look. Or you can continue to be gaslighted.
Conrad was a character, to say the least. He performed a “Navy landing” on the moon; hence Tom Hanks’ version of Jim Lovell saying he would land “way better than Conrad” when telling his son how he would land on the moon in “Apollo 13.”
Hahaha you really believe this, don't you ? That they went there ? Hahaha 😆
@@deanhall6045 Man, that is really sad. We all have a very limited time on this Earth and here you are wasting yours denying one of humanity's greatest achievements simply because you can't wrap your head around it...
A nice tidbit about Apollo 12 is the prank by the backup crew. They left a couple of playboy pictures and doodles in the primary crew's lunar cuff checklist. They didn't realize it until they were on the moon's surface. Best prank ever.
These days, they would leave pics of farm animals and crossdressers.
Fascinating video. My dad worked in the Air Force on the fringe of the astronaut training program at Edwards Air Force Base in SoCal from 1969 to 1973. As a 6-7 year old, I met a couple of the astronauts, Alan Bean being one of them. I love this stuff, thank you!
That's really sad mate. Allan Bean has been proven to be a liar, he didn't even know what the Van Allen belts were or where they are. Watch his interview, it made me throw up. He is a liar, a grifter, and should be in jail. If you think that's unfair or inaccurate you should check before commenting.
@@deanhall6045Well, Mr. Bean walked on the moon with Apollo 12. What else do you need to know?
@@deanhall6045 Wow, you have a real hard-on for the guy. Are you a jilted lover? One of his kids left out of the estate? Just an all-around crappy guy with a crappy attitude? What's your deal, man?
@sartainja no he didn't. You didn't even see his bullshit interview when he admitted he didn't even know where VAB is. Such a disgusting liar, how do they sleep, all of them ?? Would you like me to directly quote some of his words of wisdom, because that would help you realise what a liar he truly is. AI just called it anyway, they should all be in jail soon. Give Buzz the small cell, he's the main grifter.
My job during the Apollo 4 (Saturn V 501) launch was to man the launch computer in the mobile launcher. As such I received escape training which involved sliding down the escape tube to the "rubber room". I only got to do it once but it was a memorable ride. The tube is lined with teflon and it was quite fast, hence the need for the rubber lined landing area. It was only the landing area that was rubber lined, not the whole room. BTW no rats.🙂🙂
"Beautiful view, magnificent desolation." Best quote, hands down
I'm this old: I watched moon launches on a TV in my elementary school classes.
My dad worked on the Apollo missions. He let me stay home from school to watch it. I was 6 years old and remember it clearly.
I was 24 and worked on the Apollo missions 11 through 17.
@@robertlathe2165 Very cool! My dad was 31 and worked within the astronaut training program from 69-73. Now, I don't want to steal any valor here and want to be clear - he had other duties while stationed at Edwards AFB, but he did do a lot of stuff directly with the program.
A rubber room? That's crazy.
I was crazy once
They locked me in a room.
Apollo was "lunacy."
@Iamthelolrus 😂 very clever
@@bonnster2745 A rubber room.
Judith Love Cohen was an Engineer that worked on the Abort-Guidance System of Apollo 13 and is credited in helping to save them. She was in labor with Actor Jack Black while working on the the problems and schematics of Apollo 13. She called her boss to let him know that she had fixed the problem and come pick everything up. She then delivered Jack Black.
Jack Black was born in August 1969 and the Apollo 13 mission took place in April 1970. He was born a month after Apollo 11 had concluded and three months before Apollo 12.
His mother no doubt did important work while pregnant with him and when he was an infant, but that story is just another lie you read on the internet.
I don't want to be lax in stacking facts as I react, but that doesn't diminish the fact that Jack Black can act.
@@haggismcmutton4702yeah exactly, she wasn't in labor with Jack, but she did make the abort guidance system
175mph winds?🤔Were they taking off during a Cat 5 hurricane?😳
I caught that too. Total nonsense, but then Simon and his crew don't really care about details and facts in most of his videos. They don't even bother to post corrections which is sad. I've really backed off on watching much of his stuff because of this.
Wind speed versus direction and knot versus kilo. Screwed up conversion they did!!!
@@lijohnyoutube101 Shades of the early Hubble screw-up!
I'd love to see similar coverage of the Gemini program, which was extremely important to the success of Apollo, yet is often overlooked when history of manned spaceflight is discussed.
Another interesting fact about Apollo 17: Eugene Cernan almost lost his life before the beginning of the Apollo project. He nearly died during his flight on Gemini 9 during an EVA (spacewalk). While outside his capsule, he overexerted himself while trying to find something to hang onto while floating by his tether, and almost couldn't get himself back inside. The situation was dire enough that Mission Control was-at one point-discussing how to get his body back to Earth if he didn't survive his spacewalk .
Fortunately, Cernan managed to get back inside the Gemini capsule and close the door. By the time he returned to earth, he dumped standing water (from profuse sweating and condensation inside his suit) from both of his boots, and was found to have lost 20lbs of body weight during the flight.
Fitting that he was the last Apollo astronaut on the moon. He definitely earned his spot in the history books.
Check out the Homemade Documentaries program, as well as Retro Space HD. They're chock full of very-well-assembled presentations of the Gemini program.
" (from profuse swearing and condensation inside his suit) "
I guessing you meant to say, (from profuse *sweating* and condensation inside his suit).
But we understood what you are saying.
@@im1who84u yes! Fixed. Although I imagine he also had a few NSFW words to say during the ordeal as well!
@@technick6418 I understand.
I really appreciate the fact you say the units in both archaic medieval Imperial but also in neat modern Metric. Thank you.
Haha archaic medieval.... you're not thinking straight or you're trying to sound clever. Either way, it's not working for you.
He's using the units that the moon landing program used. Once anyone else walks on the moon, we'll think about going to metric.
@@kevinrusch3627 I am talking about the very same program. And you only went to the moon because of Nazi scientists. You guys are such a farce and a joke.
4:24 had the amazing fortune to have Alan Bean at my house for dinner when I was a little kid.
He gave my brother and I freeze dried ice cream, mission patches and signed Apollo screen prints.
I was too young to understand how cool it was to shake the hand of a man who had been to the moon.
The transcriptions of the banter from Apollo 10 are absolute Mad Lad compared to the serious nature of Apollo 11. Some highly amusing content in there. If you're a space nerd and have no life.
I was crazy once
They locked me in a room
A rubber room
A rubber room with rats
And the rats made me crazy
Perhaps one day, Simon will make a video on humanity's first moon colony?
Perhaps one day, his writers and handlers could make a video not rife with factual errors.
Curious mark has been restoring the communications systems used on the apolo missions ( spares and backups) for a while now good watch but pretty technical
John Aaron is my nerd hero. "SCE to Aux" is my go-to phrase when everything is going to hell 😂
I thought that the Apollo missions were and still are America's greatest achievement. Well done all those involved in it. Remarkable.
The achievements of the Apollo projects were of the most innovative and logistic feats. This was from getting astronauts to the moon and then to land on the moon and return the men to Earth. Also the mission changed from an expedition to the moon, to a rescue mission then the Apollo 13 capsule was damaged in an explosion while moving away from Earth. That was one of the greatest achievements of NASA as everyone worked to bring the three astronauts home safely.
Think again, but please, you need to get a grip first. It never happened, AI just busted your big, fat lie and to keep perpetuating this fabrication is getting to the point where you are now arguing with the latest, most advanced, American, neural AI, and good luck. Moon story is finished and you must get over it. Your choices now are to admit that you were duped large to varying degrees, or call AI misinformation,but as it improves, that increases in difficulty..... but your call, cheers.
@@westzed23 that's a beautiful story but about as true or believable as Peter Pan. Cheers.... actually, Peter holds more weight than moon man who is a fraud, all of them, they disgust me.
@@westzed23 instead of mentioning the 3 they rescued, why not talk about the 3 they murdered because they called Apollo a 'Lemon' ? Good question, I bet you don't respond.
@@deanhall6045 I don't forget Apollo 1. The space program did not always listen to the astronauts. After Apollo 1, the astronauts insisted they be heard, and changes were made.
Thanks for this video I knew about the escape systems and everyone was fortunate the never needed to be used.
It's worth pointing out that at the time Apollo 12 was hit by lightning, the actual device that was controlling the vehicle was the Saturn V rocket's instrument unit, about 80 feet below the Apollo CSM. The lightning didn't bother it at all and it was happy as a clam. The CSM was, at this point, practically along for the ride, and while it could have taken control of the rocket if something went wrong, it didn't need to, and in this case, they merely had to "reboot" the whole CSM while the rest of the vehicle was doing its job normally.
I was crazy once, Ryan George just, put me in a room for a while, and then I did a backflip and broke the bad guys neck.
Super easy, barely an inconvenience
Now I want a "First guy to walk on the moon" video.
I need you to watch SmarterEveryDay about that "core rope memory". that was literally copper sewn by hand into functional computer parts.
IMO thew best snoopy cap moment is Alan Shepard's "Dear God, dont let me f*** this up"
I wanted to extend my gratitude for your inclusion of the Customary system in this video. Being a US resident, Metric units remain a rather academic unit of measure, and as such videos using only Metric measurements tend to be less tangible for me than those featuring their Customary conversions.
My father was Air Force Air Police attached to the Defense Atomic Support Agency and worked in the Special Weapons Project and was stationed at multiple top secret bases and once certain information was declassified he told us about all kinds of different under ground facilities.
I need to find or make a 'Try SCE to AUX' T-shirt.
I'm kinda surprised Tim from @everydayastronaut hasn't made one yet lol
Space gimp room!?
I won't judge 😉🤘
You forgot that John Young also said that he hadn't that much citrus fruit in years and "in another 12 fucking days I ain't eating no more."
NASA ground teams quickly told him he had a hot mic... He asked "How long have we had that?"
John Watts Young was probably the greatest unsung hero astronaut from that generation!
What some don't appreciate, there were several early-design computers on board. The instrument ring of saturn V had it's own launch vehicle computer that controlled a lot of the saturn v and flight path. The LM both had a guidance computer and a separate abort guidance computer to be used in case they had to abort a landing. Think there were more, but they all had read-only programs in the rope-core memory.
The command module also had a guidance computer running different software to the LM's for its tasks, so there were two AGCs on board for missions that landed on the moon. :)
Bean's a steely eyed missile man
I am big Al Bean fan, but the steely- eyed missle man decloration was for John Aaron, the engineer Simon referenced in the video.
12:56 It’s silliness like that that makes Pete Conrad my favorite astronaut!😂
No views! 5 seconds, fastest I've ever seen a video appear.
When I heard rubber room at the Kennedy center, I imagined something different
Huh. What?
Thanks for the video! Could we get the actual recording for these quotes vs them in a slightly different voice? I think it would add to it.
I would love to know how sea based oil rigs are set up out at sea and how they are moved
They are built in shipyards and floated out to sea.
@glencrandall7051 well yeah but can you put that into a 15 minute video read by simon?
Those tapes probably are in the same file system my company uses. My favorite file is stuff that smells like oranges. Or the one that's named stuff we did on Tuesday.
I remember how James Burke presented this place as part of the Moon landing coverage.
Best timed shot in video history
I love learning about space.
I always taught a rubber room was use to put mad lads so they could bounce off the walls and not do themselves any harm
New game, any time you see Simon's face but don't recognize the channel name, take a shot.
I’ll die.
Yeah Alan Bean, its cool to share a name with the third guy on the moon mission who no one remembers ha
I remember him. He was my favorite astronaut growing up. I actually lived next door his ex-wife Sue until recently. Wonderful and sweet lady.
Simon is such a genius to know all these things. How did you get so smart, Simon?
After the noble final message from the moon Cernan's last words before lift-off were cropped out of the released transmission by NASA. mostly because they were "Let's get this mother outta here!"
Is anyone else concerned how four of the 'verb' commands in the Apollo computer used the word "please"? It's like we were trying not to annoy our future computer overlords :/
Well 2001 (and HAL) did come out just before the landing so.... lol
This "rubber room" was featured in an episode of 6 Million Dollar Man television series in the 1970's
damn i’m sad you didn’t mention my favourite apollo transcript moment - on apollo 10, a couple of turds (yeah, literal poop) escaped containment and started floating around the cabin. the audio is even on youtube now!
No way. I gotta go look this up now.
@@danidavis7912 it’s extremely funny. it’s in the og transcripts and the comms are on youtube. just search apollo 10 turd or something
"lost it" lmaoooooo very convenient,eure thing we believe you
It's hilarious how Simon says, Taco.
The Apollo 12 crew don’t have to figure anything out. Al Bean knew what SCE to AUX meant and flipped the switch. Cmon guys. This is well known.
One of your best vids.
A rubber room? A rubber room with… with rats?
But my question is, with an explosion that large, would the elevator on the launch pad still work?
Volunteer to test your question.
Dude what? Your windspeed 5:15 is WAYYY off on the 14 Nov, 1969 launch. How did you not notice that? You said the wind speed was 175 MPH?!? You also added this text to the screen AND provided a conversion to KPH. How did you not realize this obvious error lol?
It looks like you read the wind measurement (28010kts) as speed instead of as showing direction. The wind was blowing from 280 DEGREES (from the West) at like 10 knots with gusts of 19 knots.
Further, you took the 280 number and assumed it was KPH, but really wind speeds for aviation are measured in knots.
Thank you for also noticing, and saving me a lot of typing.
It's his writers. They aren't particularly good at fact checking and Simon doesn't seem to care. If I cared a little more, I would offer to be a writer for him. My scripts would be much better.
This should have more comments as it sounded very odd!
Maybe before you write nonsense, check information on the internet first, huh?
I am feeling like I need to be in a rubber room .
That rubber room is what Simon's basement looks like.
It's difficult to believe that NASA lost any of he moon landing tapes.
I asked for a pair of Sheath underwear for Christmas then I was told the price and it looks like I'll have to treat myself to a pair of Sheath. LOL
My husband says that they are worth every cent.
@@NickanM I prefer panties.
11:10 my half-asleep brain finished this line with ‘of an unladen African swallow’. 😂
SVTSim is really fascinating to me as a computer nerd. I've never worked a computer less than a byte at a time.
You'd think they'd have put those tapes in the vault with the rocks...
I always thought of Gene Cernan as a bit of a killjoy in his response to the song. Harrison sang, "we were strolling through the park one day, in the merry merry month of...December." Gene stopped him and said, "no, May." Dude, he was joking, you know, because it was December? I know he wasn't the most serious astronaut or anything but that remark was a bit condescending 😆
Young also smuggled a corn sandwich during Gemini 3 mission. He was quite a misfit.
As an introvert, I totally identify with Aldrin's quote.
Actually since the Apollo computers we're only programmed to do one thing even though it was difficult they had plenty of computer power. An old flip phone has plenty of computing power for what it was meant to do and that was make phone calls.The only reason we have so much more computer power today besides the quantum leap and computer technology is because our computerized things today are expected to do a whole lot more than one thing.
So you are saying that the only ever recorded instance in human history, of technology going backward, was during the Apollo program ? Get a grip mate. Its a lie and your own AI just called it fake. Wake up.
This. Also, the computers freezing up during a landing sequence or anything like it would have been disastrous, so they were programmed to just stop doing less essential stuff if the workload threatened to become too much so that the essential stuff would keep running no matter what.
I've heard of the Upper Room
When you get put into a rubber room then somebody turns of the lights and starts whipping you back and forth until you throw up🤪
Forget Vsauce, now we've got Vranch
NASA: “eh. The moon landing tapes are here somewhere”
Seen the name and knew exactly what the first comment was gonna be.
Crazy!
People would not be stupid enough to lose those original highest quality tapes of the first lunar walk. They would be smart enough to say they were lost to discourage anyone from trying to steal them!
I would love to see someone like Musk or Gates build a new lander and CM using the same "footprint" but with today's tech inside and see what the weight and controls are like.
The Orion capsule is the CM version of that, and it's flying now.
Did you know there used to be forests on the moon? US ambassador Middendorf gave a piece of petrified wood to prime minister Drees of the Netherlands. That piece of petrified wood was brought back from the moon by Aldrin & co. and is now in the Rijksmuseum.🤓
Ok wait dual pouch what ??? You need to make a video explaining this contraption. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Prove you are wearing the sheaths.
But Simon- tHe MoOn LaNdiNg wAs FaKed!🥴
Its insane to think how much effort went into building that room just to be like ......ehhhh it looked better on paper lol. That was probably someones entire job description for 5+ years... All to be filled with water lol
I thought you were going to break into another sordid tail pertaining to the refurbished basement of Chris D’elia! Stay golden my friend…
Simon mentioning VLC made me feel old cause he's too young to really have needed it lol😅
I was crazy once crazy in a room a rubber room with rats
Science what simon😂😂😂😂did ye mouth go all schloppy..science schliction😂😂😂😂😂at start 😂😂😂😂
It's interesting that the Apollo astronauts all had British accents. hahaha
Things I didn’t know about Apollo program: stanley kubrick
FYI having a text quote in the final moment of the video when you decide to also put an end card up is terrible editing.
Didn't say nothing about old computers also needed hundreds of feet of wires.
You do know that Apollo 11 actually went to the dark side of the moon?
Remember sentinel prime?
Actually,they never left the sound stage they were shooting the "landing" on.
10% of this video is an ad for sheath.
Crazy I was crazy once,they locked me in a room,a rubber room, a rubber room with rats and the rats they make me crazy
Was that the room with rats?
Just to clear up the sce to aux Alan bean knew what it was he was the one who hit the switches Pete Conrad didn’t know what it was but bean knew exactly what to do
Crazy? I was crazy once.
first to view this one never happen to me before
Cool 😎 👍
11:31 Margaret Hamilton!
I thought she died in the Wizard of Oz?
Well, I guess as witches go, maybe she was able to return to work for N.A.S.A..
I hope NASA find some of those tapes.
