      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.

    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!

      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.

    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.

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.”

    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.🙂🙂

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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 😆

    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.

      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.
