My dad woke me up 15 minutes before they landed to watch it. I was almost six years old. It was a thrill to watch. I have been a big Apollo fan since. This was such an excellent series to watch. It’s a shame that most of humanity did not care about any of the further Apollo flights other than 13 after the oxygen tank blew up. Even during the J missions when they were driving on the moon, most of humanity never cared. Crazy. Apollo 11 was representative of humanity’s greatest binding moments Apollo in general was the pinnacle of humanity’s technological achievements.
I was the same age. It was my earliest historical memory that I can pinpoint to a specific date. I've been a space nerd ever since. I hope to live to see us set foot on the Moon again, this time to settle and stay!
I watched them all. Less and less coverage, but Apollo 15 had a lot of video shot from the rover, so I got to see a couple of astronauts skip away toward a split rock, get smaller, and smaller, until they were tiny below this gigantic broken rock larger than a house. Then the went all the way around it. Try building that on a soundstage using 1960s methods.
I was 9 yrs old at the time watching it on TV with my late father. I'll never forget this day no matter how long I live. After Armstrong's ," Houston. Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed," Dad and I shook hands, laughed with joy and hugged. An amazing moment!
I KNOW YOU WONT, BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY KNOW IN 2023, BUZZ ALDRIN CONFESSED(Live) to a 8 you girl. "We didn't go...and that's the way it happened." -Buzz Aldrin Search - then come back to Earth.
oh..you loved Kubrick's Movie set. And NASA with the red snake tongue, it's an anagram 4 'satan' See for yourself. Oh...buzz admitted to an 8yo girl, they never went. Search that too. Didn't want to ruin a memory, but the govt has done more lying, and any and all evil is by them. Earth is Satan's Domaine. Hmm...I wonder why the new voting machines, that can do whatever the programmer wants. Everyone believes whatever they see on t.v. - Richard Nixon, 1970.
I was 17 when these events took place. I was sitting in the living room with my Mother and sister along with an Aunt and Uncle and 3 cousins. They were at our house because we were the only members of the family with a colour television. When they landed, my family all cheered but I didn't. I just sat quietly and thought to myself, I will remember this day for the rest of my life. I'm 69 now and I still remember that day with clarity. It was the day we told the universe we are here on our little rock.
@@diezgp Biggest adventure in our lifetime.....Up till today they dont achieve anything similar to that.. For me its a very precious jewel what man can and could achieve if they have the unboken will to achieve something
I was 24 years old teaching Science at Usi -Ekiti, Western State of Nigeria during the landing, listening to BBC World Service..... A magical experience And a magnificent American achievement.
I was 16 years old on a school camping trip in the Boundary Waters area of Minnesota on July 20, 1969. We had a transistor radio with us and it was a full moon while we listened to the voice of Neil Armstrong. A time I will never forget as long as I live.
Many people do not know this but Neil and Buzz left a lot of commerative items behind on the moon and one was the official patch of the Apollo 1 crew who died in that horrible tragic fire. They were supposed to be the first crew to go to the moon. Let us never forget the bravery of Virgil I. 'GUS' Grissom who was the second man into space aboard Liberty Bell 7, and command pilot for Gemini 3. Let us not forget Edward Higgens White II who was aboard Gemini 4 and who was the first American to walk in Space. And let us not forget Roger Bruce Chaffee, naval officer, aviator and aeronautical engineer for NASA.
also coins commemorating cosmonauts who lost their lives in pursuit of these milestones. buzz almost forgot to leave them until neil reminded him as he was climbing the ladder to the LEM before taking off.
Gus Ed and Roger weren't the first moon crew, that was Apollo 8. The crew rotations were already set by Deke. They were to be the first manned flight of the Apollo spacecraft in general. It was to be essentially what Apollo 7 did.
A mere 65 1/2 years from Kitty Hawk to Tranquility Base. When you think of the thousands of principles, facts and things that had to be discovered, invented, tested and perfected in that tiny space of time, it's all a miracle.
It was a miracle. Most of our tech was very primitive. A great many thongs had to be invented, even new concepts had to be conceived. That we made it there and back 7 times without losing any of them is a huge miracle. I was a little kid and obsessed with space, these guys were my heroes. I grew up in a very rural area in the Cherokee Nation east of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. All the other boys were playing cowboys and "Indians" but my best friend and I used to pretend we were astronauts that landed on Mars. Astronaut Tom Stafford, also from nowhere, Oklahoma, was touring to promote the space program. He had been on Apollo 10 and been within 9 miles of the moon. He visited with me for awhile. I went to see him at 2 different places he spoke at (thanks, Mom, for taking me). It was a highlight of my childhood. He told me that contrary to the non-stop commercials, that astronauts did not drink Tang (a sour powdered orangish foul -tasting drink). He passed away recently and I posted what he had meant to me as a young abused boy on his memorial website. Fly high Mr. Stafford, I'll see you soon. (I have 6 terminal conditions.) 🚀 🧑🚀🌛🌠🌌
Wow. You know, being an Apollo hoax believer doesn’t make you smarter than everyone else like you think. It just makes you willfully ignorant. Like the kids in special class, you’re so far behind, you think you’re ahead.
And here's one that's very appropriate for you Rocky... "The idiots have taken over the Asylum". (Don't think about it too much....you'll strain yourself).
the best part: Bryan Cranston and Tony Goldwyn are acting in a GENUINE Lunar Module; LM-13 was partially complete and was going to fly on Apollo 18 but never did when the program was cancelled. fortunately, it was never scrapped and was used for the series. you can see LM-13 fully restored and on display at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Long Island, NY.
How could you, and why would you want to get goosebumps watching a remake of the landing with actors.. when you can get goosebumps watching the real thing, which is also widely available on UA-cam.? A little bit backwards ain't you.
Yep. I don't understand how people felt or reacted, what they were thinking as this all went down. I can't imagine it. I can't understand. As long as I've been alive, it's been common knowledge that we went to the Moon. I can't remember ever not knowing it, so it's easy to take for granted. To witness the impossible happen must have been extraordinary.
I was almost 4 years old, and my parents woke me up and brought me into the living room to watch it on TV. I remember my mother telling me, "There's something we want you to see. It's very important." Been in love with spaceflight ever since.
@ they had 6 apollo mission how can all be faked? But one thing I'm also wondering that they never showed sun from the moon.. I wonder how does the sun look like from moon?
My whole family was watching the TV that afternoon, and I vividly remember hearing the phrase "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." As a very interested soon-to-be sixth grader, I had watched almost all of the prior Gemini and Apollo program launches when our school teachers showed them in class on the TV. In 1967, I remember being so sad early one morning at breakfast when my Dad broke the news about the tragic Apollo One fire. But on that July, 1969 afternoon, everyone was all smiles. And later that evening, there was no early bedtime as we all stayed up late to witness the moon walk. My 69 year old Nana was sitting there with us, and I remember looking over at her thinking how amazing a life she had lived being born before the Wright Brothers had ever flown and now seeing two men walk on the lunar surface! I'll never forget this moment if I live to be 100. Thank you for producing a great mini-series! Best,
This event took place on my fourth birthday. 53 years later, this scene chokes me up, especially Buzz Aldrin's simple message to the world and taking Communion. It's such a human moment . . . he wanted to move beyond the controversies of the day and remind everyone--including himself--to put things into perspective.
At that time, everyone in Hungary clung to the live TV screen and we excitedly followed this event. This is one of the fundamental experiences of my life.
@third And that would mean that recovering film in a landing capsule isn't possible? Then somehow we recover humans, but you say can't do the same with film? What hinders sending low frequency radiowaves from big antennas beamed towards the Moon, and have the landing module pop out the television camera from the side, with signal beamed back to Earth... Saying that something can't be true because of your limited knowledge and from it following low understanding is foolish. With such thinking you can as well wrongly claim that we can't calculate area under curves to any precision.
I was a week short of my 10th birthday, watching it with my parents, we were visiting their friends' house, and I had to beg my parents to ask them to watch. Mom and Dad didn't want to, it wasn't important to them but I persuaded them that it was history and their friends had no problem, so we all watched. I was glued to the screen, and they'd every so often asked a question, since I was the "space nut" of the family, I had been following the space program since I was able to read. It was so exciting I practically passed out.
I was 8 years old and was in the summer between second and third grades. What a wonderful time that was in my life to watch this live on TV! Something I will never forget!
Crazy. You were 8 years old and watched the moon landing. I was 8 years old and watched 9/11. Two very different things that both changed the world and had everyone glued to the TV.
Same here! I was between 8 and 9, heading into third grade. I remember watching it with my grandmother. This was a few years after watching JFK’s funeral on TV. (I was too young to understand it, but I can remember watching it.) I had Revell’s full length Saturn V model kit with a carrying case, a Lunar Module model and a Command Service module combo model!
The comments on this video show that there is hope left for mankind. In these days of insecurity, war, political debate, flat-earthers and people who don’t believe we ever went to the moon, we still have people who know that on July 20th 1969 Neil Armstrong took that one giant leap for mankind. And I thank you all for that. And the thought of mankind returning to to the moon gets me even more hopeful. It brings tears to my eyes. Because we are going back.
@ We are going back to learn more. We are going back to provide the opportunity for future generations to be better generations than what we are. It is the first step of travelling to other planets and beyond. The future generations of scientists and eager minds will be the ones throwing papers off the balcony shouting ”EUREKA!” thanks to the eager minds of today, who have created means for us to go back to the moon.
I was 6 when it happened... my father woke me up in the middle of the night (which it was in Europe) to see it live on TV. I could not really grasp the impact of what I was seeing, but I will always be grateful to my dad for letting me see it.
My father was a young man when the Wright Brother first flew at Kitty Hawk. I was 30 when man first stepped onto the moon. Can you imagine looking up to see the entirety of the Earth?
Even though I am 60 I still remember this event like it was yesterday. I still get chocked up by it even though this is a recreation. We need to go back, and soon.
I love science, when I feel like humanity has forgotten themselves in the modern day, something like this makes me realise what incredible things we can achieve when we all work together.
Those guys had nerves of steel. If anything went wrong, that was it...no way to get help...no way to get back home. God bless our brave men and women who risk it all to make America the great nation that it is!
In ships about as rickety as an old Curtiss biplane. One solid kick and the LM would have fallen apart. It takes some serious cojones to fly a crate like that. Armstrong was probably the best pilot NASA had at the time. THAT man had nerves of steel and NEVER lost his cool.
I was 16. Just got my drivers license 7 months earlier. I listened to Mercury and Gemini in grade school, then Apollo about the time I hit high school. I knew what the objectives were, and why, but until this happened it really didn't hit me, What a moment! I am so grateful to live in this period of time in a country as great as ours. Truly grateful.
I still remember when Armstrong landed on the Moon very vividly. I was a Japanese middle school student at that time. It was just like a dream because I could witness such a historical moment of humankind during my lifetime. Hopefully, I wish I could man`s landing on Mars while I`m still alive.
Fun Fact: at 1:02 you see the LM undock from the CM. There was some residual pressure in the docking area that added a few feet per second velocity to the LM. This is the reason Apollo 11 'landed long ' (at 6:19) ie a few miles down range from where they intended to land. Later missions took this into account to more accurately target the LM to the desired landing site.
Fun fact the moon landing was fake and the space race was won In Hollywood. Fun fact. The is not one picture showing earth as a ball but all pictures show flat earth
This is one of my earliest memories. I wasn't quite two years old and I don't remember the landing itself, but I do remember being with my parents and grandparents and everyone repeatedly telling me to pay attention because we were watching history.
The crowning achievement of mankind, bar none. Despite two program alarms during the critical part of the descent and his heartbeat racing, Neil Armstrong was as cool as a cucumber, one of the reasons he was chosen to be the first to land the LM. Switching to manual control in order to avoid the boulder field was a very bold move, and very well could have saved them from crashing or even flipping the entire LM over upon landing. I will never forget watching this live on TV as a kid. I was inspired by what I saw then and have been addicted to studying Apollo ever since. I am hoping to live long enough to watch us return to the moon, and watch the first humans land and walk on Mars.

I don't think he was chosen to be the first. He was chosen to command Apollo 11 and it turned out to be the first landing. It could just as easily have been Apollo 12 if the landing had been delayed. At least, that's what I have read.
I remember reading about this in school. It fired my imagination and made me realise that even though humanity has seen its issues and troubles. Wars and plagues, We never lost the pioneering spirit that drives us forward every day to seek out new things and new challenges to overcome. The way the moon landing was described to me, It was a moment when everyone in the world held their collective breathes, Waiting for Neil Armstrong to put his foot down on the moon and utter his now legendary line. I wish I had been alive at that time but I know that someday we will land on the moon again, or mars and we will once again be captivated by the human spirit.
I was 7 when Neil and Buzz landed. I had been enthralled with the space program from the beginning. I made it a point to never miss a minute of the missions. They would let us out of class so we could go to the cafeteria to watch the moon walks. Dad let me stay up and watch Neil and Buzz walk around on their very first walk. For one of my science fair projects I built a model of the LEM. Our family happened to be at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago during the Apollo 15 mission. They had a Lunar Rover set up in the main entry area along with a TV where we could watch, LIVE, the first use of the Rover on the moon. Design engineers were also there to answer any questions we had. They really gave us kids that were gathered around special attention because they knew we would be the next generation to keep this going. It was an incredible time to be alive.
One of, if not the apex moment of my life watching this happen. Glad I was alive when human beings first landed on a celestial body apart from earth.......spectacular!
Yep, me too. I was out for my lunch break in Melbourne, Australia. I joined crowd watching it on TV through the window of a a bank in Swanston St. That image 'belongs' to me now. ... along with you and everyone who also watched it live.
Wow, must have been something. I get brain explosions thinking about it. Nothing can come near that. Not even if we landed on Mars tomorrow. Because they did something that should not have been able with the tech and knowledge available at the time. They simply made the tools and components come into existence with pure willpower. Imagine what we could create today with the same willpower from that time. A space elevator in 5 years max! That would be the equivalent
My school had just one B&W TV, and couldn't guarantee that we'd get to see it live, so my mum kept my sister and I home from school that day (landing was daytime here in Oz) so she could be sure we'd see it as it happened. She was a science and sci-fi nerd way back then, and I have carried on her tradition. RIP Mum.
The moment when Armstrong finally touched the moon and the background music made this stone-hearted 18 old teen into tears. Lost my mom at 15, I'm too ready going to become an Aerospace Engineer for human exploration and advanced-sustainable technologies to make these landings more usual.
The reason for the 1202/1201 alarms is that Buzz Aldrin left the rendezvous radar on, so they could quickly locate the CSM, in case they needed to abort. This overloaded the computer, causing the alarms.
Actually the Flight Control crews had already experienced the same alarms during their endless simulations & knew it wasn't necessary to abort...on the video of the actual landing, when the alarm sounds, you can even hear one of the Controllers state "Just like the sim"....
The rendezvous radar shouldn't have caused this problem, but the powers supply for the antenna director and the computer interface hardware weren't specc'd to be phase locked - so if you were unlucky about the timing you could end starting up the antenna system out-of-phase with the rest of the computer hardware and it threw erroneous data about the antenna position to the computer. This resulted in the computer sending corrections, but none of the corrections worked, so the errors just stacked up and eventually caused the program queue to fill up.
This was an incredible moment in history. I was in Vancouver Canada at the time as an 8 year old. We were on a family outing from the little town of Sunnyside Washington the home town of astronaut Bonnie Dunbar. We were staying with some friends and we saw the thing on TV and we cheered when the astronauts of Apollo 11 landed on the moon and you could hear people everywhere cheering.
This blows First Man away. It’s a crime that people probably think that’s the best portrayal of this incredible achievement. Those dudes were animals. Brilliant, brave and beyond great pilots.
@@williamsplays8528 first man got many fundamental things wrong about spaceflight, starting with the opening scene. it was not an accurate movie in the slightest.
I was 16 days old when man landed on the moon. My grandfather was alive when the Wright brothers first flew. The twentieth century was the most innovative one hundred years in the history of mankind. All thanks to 2 world wars and one cold one.
The bit about your grandfather being alive at the time of The Birth of Aviation just hits different and HARD! I was born Dec. 12, 1969 myself. My dream has been to go into space.
I was 3 yrs and 4 months old and watching on a small TV, in Sydney, Australia! My mum said, Sit down and watch this, it's history! I still remember it to this day! What a glorious achievement, made all the more astounding, that it happened with such raw and nascent technology! And that even now with all our modern advances, we would still struggle to repeat the feat!!! God was right when He said, "Nothing will be impossible for them!" I'm greatful that they saw fit to include Buzz taking communion, as he did it on behalf of all of us!!! And to read John 15 "For without Me, you can do nothing!" Great pride in our achievements, great humility in our success!!!
I was 9 years old that night in Houston and my mom also forced me to watch. I think I had my own TV in my bedroom and it was time for Sea Hunt and I wanted to watch that, but my mom insisted I come to her room and watch the moon landing. I didn't even know it was on the agenda, so I was no space nerd. I told her I could just catch it later....they would be rerunning it, but she countered that no...this is happening right now, this is making history right now and you need to watch this. Needless to say, I'm so glad she did.
I was five days past my fourth birthday. One of my first memories. Definitely shaped the trajectory of my life. I'm not a man of faith, but even so the scene with Buzz taking communion was incredibly powerful and moving. Like you put it: on behalf of all of us. Thanks for sharing, and be well.
You don't remember anything from when you were three! Nobody does. Human brains rebuild themselves completely starting at about age 4. The film of Armstrong stepping off the LEM has been shown and reshown so many times in the intervening years that you're probably remembering that. I was four at the time too and I am told that I was allowed to stay up to watch it live. I also know I remember nothing of it.
Due to lack of gravity, would be interesting to know if perhaps Buzz had the wine in a tiny plastic bag. I didn't know he was Catholic. But then, other denominations did (and do) the Eucharistic Communion.
Mine too. In learning about historical events, it’s often the prelude to the event that is even more interesting than the historical event. Not only that, but Spider has a fair amount of humor in it, such as, “Sending a man to the moon is easy, so we’ll just keep sending him supplies, until we find a way to get him back.” That line always cracks me up.
I saw it all when I was 21. This was an excellent dramatization of what happened. It shows and tells details we weren't privy to back then. Thanks guys.
the actual landing was so smooth that Armstrong and aldrin barely felt a thump. It also occurred about 10-12 seconds after Charlie Duke's call of 30 seconds, not at one second left
Stupendous series from the late 1990s. Quickly covering Mercury and Gemini programmes, but including the Gemini 8/Agena rendezvous incident, involving Neil Armstrong in his first flight, where he saved Himself, Dave Scott and the mission, the Apollo 1 fire in decent detail, and all the way, through every Apollo to the last Apollo 17 mission and the 'orange soil', that we all got really excited about. Just great. Time for a re-watch, I think.
It seemed to be a labor of love. I really liked the series too. It helped me to understand a lot of what was going on that we never knew at the time, or I was too young to grasp.
This was such a remarkable event, that even in my small village in India, there was so much amazement that even I remember it even though I was only three years old!
Had I known, I would have too. Im 46 so the space program for us was everything. I recall sitting in Art Class in Middle School; watching Challenger and what was supposed to be the first teacher in space Christie M... we know how that turned out. My whole family adored the space program. I attended space camp. And My grandfather, this big burly Marine actually cried when they stepped onto the moon, so my grandma says. She as told not to tell anyone.
Still haven't had solid proof that they did, they are still working on a space suite that actually works on its own without umbilical tubes in a vacuum chamber let alone back in the 60's, which would be mandatory before you send people to walk on the moon, try and look it up folks there isn't one. There are plenty of clips showing how the spacesuits are made and how awkward it was to fit into them requiring 2 men, virtually impossible to climb into a space suite and fit the gloves and helmet on your own, worst still in a capsule don't you think. There are plenty of clips on the various Apollo trips of astronauts in their capsules not wearing their spacesuits, but no clips showing how they attempted to fit into them, a few clips of stupid things like brushing their teeth or showing weightlessness. There are some clips of blue sky through the porthole when they supposed to be approaching the moon. lol
@@MrPhil4jazz First of all, provide a source, second of all, please demonstrate a basic understanding of how any of this works, and btw they do have spacesuits that work without an umbilical. They've used them rarely in zero g because a cord connected to the spacecraft itself is far safer in zero g. They have made and tested such suits, before the apollo program. Before you make such claims maybe you should do some quick googling to confirm them?
Phil Ellis look at third party proof of the landing sights google will make this easy. It all was real and it all happened. You have what’s called cognitive dissonance. Judging from your lack of intelligence you’ll probably need to google that too. With your thought about needing an umbilical is the same principle as divers don’t need one when diving underwater especially with a re-breather creating a closed loop system. Essentially the same but with less risk as underwater is far more dangerous than the vacuum of space. I’ll assume you’re a “it’s a hoax” person and everything is a lie. I heard sams club has great discounts on tin foil in bulk... stock up now
My mum remembers this moment. The Moon Landing took place in the late morning / early afternoon in Australian Eastern time and teachers ended classes early for the day. Everyone was instructed to go home and find a television that had the Moon Landing on it. Some feat for a small country town.
Imagine it, traveling 240,000 miles, totally reliant on the onboard systems to keep you alive and no hope of rescue if anything goes wrong. Then while coming into land, the plan goes out the window and you have to land the thing manually to avoid landing on rocks and with fuel running low. Technology may be great but humans can think outside the box. Gotta hand it to those guys, having the balls to land a glorified tin can on the moon. I always wonder what it would be like after placing your feet on the surface, that moment when you shed your fear of it and be like, ok here we go. Hats off to ya guys.
I've got this entire series on DVD - well worth the investment. I love this! And I love that a lot of the same actors here were in Apollo 13, albeit in different roles. Apollo 12 is the most fun episode! :)
@@patfer1189 I agree - that's the one where they're designing it, right? If so, the humor in the episode. Though, I got an icy feeling in my middle when they messed up and the boss is like "This is so bad, I can't even laugh", and when he berated the young engineer, but then gave him the chance to fix the mistake. I know that feeling all too well. LOL
@@RossComputerGuy this may not help (because I'm not sure it tells me anything) - but "Flight controller John Aaron solved the problem with one recommendation, “Flight, try SCE to AUX.” The Signal Conditioning Equipment (SCE) could resolve the instrumentation issues in auxiliary mode (AUX), preventing mission abort for Apollo 12."
How we as human beings are still fighting with one another when something as spectacular as the moon landing is such a human achievement is such a conundrum.
I was age 16 when we landed on the moon. I wanted to become an astronaut and was even accepted at FIT's Space Technology program back in 1970. Too bad Congress cut off the funding for Apollo 18, 19 and 20. Just think about what we could have learned about the Moon if those missions had proceeded on schedule! Nixon, you made a huge mistake when it came to our Space Program. You said all of those great things when Neil and Buzz were on the moon and you gave them a surprise telephone call to congratulate them, but in the end you cancelled the Apollo space program. What a huge mistake history will remember about you regarding the Apollo Space Program. You will be remembered as the person who cut off lunar science in the 1970s.
With the renewed interest in travel to the moon of late I have been searching for all the Apollo related videos I could find. I found this one very well done. As a child when the first moon landing occurred I was smitten with all things related to space and space travel. Videos like this refresh that excitement in me and like so many others, I get chills and a lump in my throat when I relive those moments.
I love this series to death, but looking at it now that I have recently listened to the actual comms from the Apollo 11 flight, it's really hokey how everything is so Hollywooded up. Everyone over reacts to everything. Apollo's greatest strength, a result of all the extensive simulations, was that nobody got emotional about anything, ever. Here it's all "Oh my god, the eagle hasn't replied yet!!" "Oh my god, it's a 1202 alarm!!!"
Not nearly as bad as First Man. However, I will say that there WAS a lot emotion - just not outwardly. Armstrong's heart rate was 156 in the moments before touchdown. But when you listen to the actual audio, it all sounds fine. This was an attempt to strike a balance between staying true to the actual recordings and making clear what was a big deal that you wouldn't understand from the real audio.
@@jeffmaxwell8297 It's the nature of it being entertainment. Reality is often boring. In The Right Stuff, they have the press conference introducing the Mercury astronauts and the guy is almost hysterical-I presume it was supposed to depict Cold War "hysteria." I've seen newsreels of the actual news conference and it was nothing like that. Same in Apollo 13, where they are doing a burn in the LM and screaming and yelling. In reality, it was nothing like that. At the end of the day, it has to be entertaining.
So true. The reason why they were successful was they were professional. Things like 1202 alarms had to be just dealt with. Over reacting was going to help nobody. That's how someone with absolutely no idea would handle the situation. (like me) Fortunately, these people had a handle on it, they trusted each other implicitly.
Simply epic! What an amazing achievement. A mere 66 years between the Wright brothers first powered flight to Neil Armstrong stepping on to the surface of the moon. It just goes to show what we can achieve. This beautiful moment still fills me with wonder, awe and hope for the future of the human race if we can all just work together in peace.❤
NASA's manned moon landings are the greatest technological achievement of mankind. But don't forget that two world wars accelerated technological progress disproportionately. Without those hot wars and the following cold war 66 years wouldn't have been possible. Sad but true.
Amazing that they showed Buzz taking Holy Communion. It’s true, it happened but it’s the first time I’ve seen it in a film/documentary of the Apollo 11. So much has changed in our values today.
@Brian Fulsom ... nice choice of Scripture, on his part. Was also mindful of him to keep it personal this time (within the craft) and not say it to the world.
So proud of Bryan. There was a time where I couldn't believe that he can play anything else than a goofy dad, but boooy did he prove me wrong over and over again. Extremely talanted.
Unfortunately Collins barely ever gets mentioned. And by all rights, history should still remember Conrad, Lovell, Shepard, Scott, Young, and Cernan. Lovell gets recognition because of a mission that didn't even land, but Young is forgotten. Yet he remains the only man in history to fly Gemini twice, Apollo twice, and the Space Shuttle twice, as well as being on the very first flight of two of them AND having walked on the moon.
@Ben Carlson And what would it take to convince you otherwise? What proof do you require? If (for argument sake) it actually DID happen, what evidence would you need to see to finally accept it?
Me too Gyuri. I was 11 years old with my family, in our living room in Minnesota. Seeing this brings it all back like yesterday. What a magnificent adventure it was.
I remember (I was 8 y.o.) watching this live on TV, then running outside to look up at the moon in the sky that night, it was about 3/4 quarters full. I'll never forget it
"I hope Neil puts on clean underwear before going out tonight." "I don't care where he said he was going! He'd better get in by midnight or he's going to be grounded!"
I was 14, but was already aware that I am witnessing a historical moment, the significance of which I might never witness again in my lifetime. So I kept the newspaper from the next morning with the headline announcing 'Man on the Moon'. I still have it and treasure it. Today, at 67, I think I was right. There was nothing that happened in the following 53 years that captured my imagination the way the lunar landing did. An official announcement of contact with aliens might still prove me wrong.
@@Cuban7thst No, no it isn't. It was an American accomplishment. Americans built it, flew it, died in it, landed in it. Why cant you admit it? What if the USSR beat the Americans? Would you still say it was a human accomplishment?
I met Bryan Cranston briefly on the set of this series (I was an extra) along with Tim Daly (they were playing Aldrin and Lovell during Gemini). I had a great time during my 2 days in Orlando playing a MOCR (Mission Operations Controller). About as close to going to the moon as I will ever get.

maxsmodels They never go to the moon so you are even. NASA is full scam and cost more than 20 Billions $$$ in 2019
They have already made such a mess of it with all the wars and nuclear tests. Not to mention the damage to people, the birth defects and the neurological damage is out of control. Documents declassified by Trump show the military have been exposed that they have been controlling the weather. The reason they say we never went to the moon as the footage was all destroyed. Apparently more to come.
@John Titor I would say unless we change all fossil fuel vehicles with electric ones, and all industrial machinery with electric, and able to control our waste process, and do reforestation in an accelerating rate, we will never save the earth.. the global temperature keeps increasing and in 50-100 years coastal cities would be submerged..
What an amazing time to be alive. I feel so lucky to have been born at a time when I could see this. Seriously, Bryan Cranston wasn't nearly as well known in '98 as he is today and it was a privilege to see him work.
Having watched it live, and so many documentaries, this is the one that gives one the feeling of what its actually feels like to have landed on the moon.
@Rockwell Rhodes Lol. Still getting a laugh from hoaxies like you. Still, you're entitled to believe whatever you want. But thoughts in your head don't make it fact.
I remember this, I watched it on a 405 line black and white tv, I was in awe of America and its confidence to embark on such an amazing, risky adventure. The only electronics we had were transistor radios, no computers, no internet, and only science fiction about space travel. I feel America has lost its way, in the future, we will be looking at the accomplishments of the Chinese to pull us into the future.
What a great time to experience! When they initially said it would be HOURS before they went outside the LEM, I thought I would die of excitement! We need this today!
My dad woke me up 15 minutes before they landed to watch it. I was almost six years old. It was a thrill to watch. I have been a big Apollo fan since. This was such an excellent series to watch. It’s a shame that most of humanity did not care about any of the further Apollo flights other than 13 after the oxygen tank blew up. Even during the J missions when they were driving on the moon, most of humanity never cared. Crazy. Apollo 11 was representative of humanity’s greatest binding moments Apollo in general was the pinnacle of humanity’s technological achievements.
My mom turned 20 on that day. What a birthday gift!
I was ten and my brother woke me up; it was about 1 in the morning.
I was the same age. It was my earliest historical memory that I can pinpoint to a specific date. I've been a space nerd ever since. I hope to live to see us set foot on the Moon again, this time to settle and stay!
I watched them all. Less and less coverage, but Apollo 15 had a lot of video shot from the rover, so I got to see a couple of astronauts skip away toward a split rock, get smaller, and smaller, until they were tiny below this gigantic broken rock larger than a house. Then the went all the way around it. Try building that on a soundstage using 1960s methods.

I was 9 yrs old at the time watching it on TV with my late father. I'll never forget this day no matter how long I live. After Armstrong's ," Houston. Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed," Dad and I shook hands, laughed with joy and hugged. An amazing moment!

Many people do not know this but Neil and Buzz left a lot of commerative items behind on the moon and one was the official patch of the Apollo 1 crew who died in that horrible tragic fire. They were supposed to be the first crew to go to the moon. Let us never forget the bravery of Virgil I. 'GUS' Grissom who was the second man into space aboard Liberty Bell 7, and command pilot for Gemini 3. Let us not forget Edward Higgens White II who was aboard Gemini 4 and who was the first American to walk in Space. And let us not forget Roger Bruce Chaffee, naval officer, aviator and aeronautical engineer for NASA.
already knew that
also coins commemorating cosmonauts who lost their lives in pursuit of these milestones. buzz almost forgot to leave them until neil reminded him as he was climbing the ladder to the LEM before taking off.
Gus Ed and Roger weren't the first moon crew, that was Apollo 8. The crew rotations were already set by Deke. They were to be the first manned flight of the Apollo spacecraft in general. It was to be essentially what Apollo 7 did.
These were good men who gave their all in the pursuit of going to the moon. Heros... One and all!
@SHKEVE that's interesting I never knew that. Thanks for the info
A mere 65 1/2 years from Kitty Hawk to Tranquility Base. When you think of the thousands of principles, facts and things that had to be discovered, invented, tested and perfected in that tiny space of time, it's all a miracle.
Makes you wonder if war had never broke out how long it would have taken
It was a miracle. Most of our tech was very primitive. A great many thongs had to be invented, even new concepts had to be conceived. That we made it there and back 7 times without losing any of them is a huge miracle. I was a little kid and obsessed with space, these guys were my heroes. I grew up in a very rural area in the Cherokee Nation east of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. All the other boys were playing cowboys and "Indians" but my best friend and I used to pretend we were astronauts that landed on Mars. Astronaut Tom Stafford, also from nowhere, Oklahoma, was touring to promote the space program. He had been on Apollo 10
and been within 9 miles of the moon. He visited with me for awhile. I went to see him at 2 different places he spoke at (thanks, Mom, for taking me). It was a highlight of my childhood. He told me that contrary to the non-stop commercials,
that astronauts did not drink Tang (a sour powdered orangish foul -tasting drink). He passed away recently and I posted what he had meant to me as a young abused boy on his memorial website.
Fly high Mr. Stafford, I'll see you soon. (I have 6 terminal conditions.) 🚀 🧑🚀🌛🌠🌌

And unfortunately we lost this as one of the things that could help us grow together instead of drifting apart like we've been doing.
Yep. I don't understand how people felt or reacted, what they were thinking as this all went down. I can't imagine it. I can't understand. As long as I've been alive, it's been common knowledge that we went to the Moon. I can't remember ever not knowing it, so it's easy to take for granted. To witness the impossible happen must have been extraordinary.

Same with me.....Apollo is a part of my soul
My whole family was watching the TV that afternoon, and I vividly remember hearing the phrase "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." As a very interested soon-to-be sixth grader, I had watched almost all of the prior Gemini and Apollo program launches when our school teachers showed them in class on the TV. In 1967, I remember being so sad early one morning at breakfast when my Dad broke the news about the tragic Apollo One fire. But on that July, 1969 afternoon, everyone was all smiles. And later that evening, there was no early bedtime as we all stayed up late to witness the moon walk. My 69 year old Nana was sitting there with us, and I remember looking over at her thinking how amazing a life she had lived being born before the Wright Brothers had ever flown and now seeing two men walk on the lunar surface! I'll never forget this moment if I live to be 100. Thank you for producing a great mini-series! Best,
This event took place on my fourth birthday. 53 years later, this scene chokes me up, especially Buzz Aldrin's simple message to the world and taking Communion. It's such a human moment . . . he wanted to move beyond the controversies of the day and remind everyone--including himself--to put things into perspective.
Ken...God created. The 🌛Moon and the. ☀️Sun since the begging of time... For Buzz and. Neil touching the. Moon. Was a spiritual experience .....
I'm not religious but that prayer moment is the best moment of the series. It makes me cry everytime I see it. The utter humility and gratitude....
At that time, everyone in Hungary clung to the live TV screen and we excitedly followed this event. This is one of the fundamental experiences of my life.
And nowadays all the uncultured swine are making fun of it, saying it's fake.
If only something *GOOD* could bring all the people of the world together again!
@third And that would mean that recovering film in a landing capsule isn't possible? Then somehow we recover humans, but you say can't do the same with film? What hinders sending low frequency radiowaves from big antennas beamed towards the Moon, and have the landing module pop out the television camera from the side, with signal beamed back to Earth... Saying that something can't be true because of your limited knowledge and from it following low understanding is foolish. With such thinking you can as well wrongly claim that we can't calculate area under curves to any precision.

Mom and Dad didn't want to, it wasn't important to them but I persuaded them that it was history and their friends had no problem, so we all watched. I was glued to the screen, and they'd every so often asked a question, since I was the "space nut" of the family, I had been following the space program since I was able to read. It was so exciting I practically passed out.

The comments on this video show that there is hope left for mankind. In these days of insecurity, war, political debate, flat-earthers and people who don’t believe we ever went to the moon, we still have people who know that on July 20th 1969 Neil Armstrong took that one giant leap for mankind. And I thank you all for that.
And the thought of mankind returning to to the moon gets me even more hopeful. It brings tears to my eyes. Because we are going back.

Hmmm strange... After this mission nasa lost all data for the ship sits and what Ever was collected
Fun Fact: at 1:02 you see the LM undock from the CM. There was some residual pressure in the docking area that added a few feet per second velocity to the LM. This is the reason Apollo 11 'landed long ' (at 6:19) ie a few miles down range from where they intended to land. Later missions took this into account to more accurately target the LM to the desired landing site.
Fun fact the moon landing was fake and the space race was won In Hollywood. Fun fact. The is not one picture showing earth as a ball but all pictures show flat earth

But, Neal also went long manually to find a suitable landing site. Did you take that into account?
This is one of my earliest memories. I wasn't quite two years old and I don't remember the landing itself, but I do remember being with my parents and grandparents and everyone repeatedly telling me to pay attention because we were watching history.
The crowning achievement of mankind, bar none. Despite two program alarms during the critical part of the descent and his heartbeat racing, Neil Armstrong was as cool as a cucumber, one of the reasons he was chosen to be the first to land the LM. Switching to manual control in order to avoid the boulder field was a very bold move, and very well could have saved them from crashing or even flipping the entire LM over upon landing. I will never forget watching this live on TV as a kid. I was inspired by what I saw then and have been addicted to studying Apollo ever since. I am hoping to live long enough to watch us return to the moon, and watch the first humans land and walk on Mars.

I don't think he was chosen to be the first. He was chosen to command Apollo 11 and it turned out to be the first landing. It could just as easily have been Apollo 12 if the landing had been delayed. At least, that's what I have read.
I remember reading about this in school. It fired my imagination and made me realise that even though humanity has seen its issues and troubles. Wars and plagues, We never lost the pioneering spirit that drives us forward every day to seek out new things and new challenges to overcome. The way the moon landing was described to me, It was a moment when everyone in the world held their collective breathes, Waiting for Neil Armstrong to put his foot down on the moon and utter his now legendary line. I wish I had been alive at that time but I know that someday we will land on the moon again, or mars and we will once again be captivated by the human spirit.
Sooner than many think.
I was 7 when Neil and Buzz landed. I had been enthralled with the space program from the beginning. I made it a point to never miss a minute of the missions. They would let us out of class so we could go to the cafeteria to watch the moon walks. Dad let me stay up and watch Neil and Buzz walk around on their very first walk. For one of my science fair projects I built a model of the LEM. Our family happened to be at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago during the Apollo 15 mission. They had a Lunar Rover set up in the main entry area along with a TV where we could watch, LIVE, the first use of the Rover on the moon. Design engineers were also there to answer any questions we had. They really gave us kids that were gathered around special attention because they knew we would be the next generation to keep this going. It was an incredible time to be alive.
We are working on it. Orion is a key part of future missions and it worked well!

JC CR ... same with me. I was a typically confused HS sophomore kid (those pesky hormones). I recall not being emotional. But I was in awe.
The reason for the 1202/1201 alarms is that Buzz Aldrin left the rendezvous radar on, so they could quickly locate the CSM, in case they needed to abort.
This overloaded the computer, causing the alarms.
Actually the Flight Control crews had already experienced the same alarms during their endless simulations & knew it wasn't necessary to abort...on the video of the actual landing, when the alarm sounds, you can even hear one of the Controllers state "Just like the sim"....
@@jeffanon1772 I didn't say in case they needed to abort due to the 1202/1201 alarms.
Plus he was running Safarii, Apple Tunes and Google Maps at the same time.
The rendezvous radar shouldn't have caused this problem, but the powers supply for the antenna director and the computer interface hardware weren't specc'd to be phase locked - so if you were unlucky about the timing you could end starting up the antenna system out-of-phase with the rest of the computer hardware and it threw erroneous data about the antenna position to the computer. This resulted in the computer sending corrections, but none of the corrections worked, so the errors just stacked up and eventually caused the program queue to fill up.
This was an incredible moment in history. I was in Vancouver Canada at the time as an 8 year old.

And that even now with all our modern advances, we would still struggle to repeat the feat!!! God was right when He said, "Nothing will be impossible for them!" I'm greatful that they saw fit to include Buzz taking communion, as he did it on behalf of all of us!!! And to read John 15 "For without Me, you can do nothing!" Great pride in our achievements, great humility in our success!!!
Wonderful
I was 9 years old that night in Houston and my mom also forced me to watch. I think I had my own TV in my bedroom and it was time for Sea Hunt and I wanted to watch that, but my mom insisted I come to her room and watch the moon landing. I didn't even know it was on the agenda, so I was no space nerd. I told her I could just catch it later....they would be rerunning it, but she countered that no...this is happening right now, this is making history right now and you need to watch this. Needless to say, I'm so glad she did.
I was five days past my fourth birthday. One of my first memories. Definitely shaped the trajectory of my life. I'm not a man of faith, but even so the scene with Buzz taking communion was incredibly powerful and moving. Like you put it: on behalf of all of us. Thanks for sharing, and be well.
You don't remember anything from when you were three! Nobody does. Human brains rebuild themselves completely starting at about age 4. The film of Armstrong stepping off the LEM has been shown and reshown so many times in the intervening years that you're probably remembering that. I was four at the time too and I am told that I was allowed to stay up to watch it live. I also know I remember nothing of it.
@@HO-bndk lol
The attention to detail is outstanding! I'm glad that Buzz Aldrin taking communion was included; we mustn't erase history.
except that its too obvious that there's gravity.
Due to lack of gravity, would be interesting to know if perhaps Buzz had the wine in a tiny plastic bag. I didn't know he was Catholic. But then, other denominations did (and do) the Eucharistic Communion.
@@shannonwittman950 Haha, that's a fascinating question! I'd be interested to know how he did it.
@@shannonwittman950 There is gravity on the Moon at a strength that is 1/6 of Earth's, the wine would still pour from a bottle
This is a forgotten HBO series that should be remembered. "Spider" is my fav!
Same here.
Spider relates with me on so many levels, great stories about engineering work and leadership.
Me too! When he says "This one... this one is the Eagle." I choke up EVERY. TIME.
Mine too. In learning about historical events, it’s often the prelude to the event that is even more interesting than the historical event. Not only that, but Spider has a fair amount of humor in it, such as, “Sending a man to the moon is easy, so we’ll just keep sending him supplies, until we find a way to get him back.” That line always cracks me up.
Love the part in Spider where they pan up to the top of the building and the roof has dozens of balls on it thrown by the project manager.
I saw it all when I was 21.
This was an excellent dramatization of what happened. It shows and tells details we weren't privy to back then. Thanks guys.
the actual landing was so smooth that Armstrong and aldrin barely felt a thump. It also occurred about 10-12 seconds after Charlie Duke's call of 30 seconds, not at one second left
Yes, and Armstrong's heart rate never even went up during the landing either, but that's not dramatic enough for HBO!
Stupendous series from the late 1990s. Quickly covering Mercury and Gemini programmes, but including the Gemini 8/Agena rendezvous incident, involving Neil Armstrong in his first flight, where he saved Himself, Dave Scott and the mission, the Apollo 1 fire in decent detail, and all the way, through every Apollo to the last Apollo 17 mission and the 'orange soil', that we all got really excited about. Just great. Time for a re-watch, I think.
Is this available in scotland?
@@paulwalton8759 It's available to buy as a DVD or BluRay off ebay, etc. In HD Widescreen too.
Yes very good series. First man depicted the Gemini 8 incident well too.
It seemed to be a labor of love. I really liked the series too. It helped me to understand a lot of what was going on that we never knew at the time, or I was too young to grasp.
This was such a great series. One of the most underrated of all time too.
This was such a remarkable event, that even in my small village in India, there was so much amazement that even I remember it even though I was only three years old!
In 1977 When I started my new job at Ford Motor Company I purposely moved to Franklin Road in Lebanon, Ohio to be Neil Armstrong's neighbor.
Me too.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Had I known, I would have too. Im 46 so the space program for us was everything. I recall sitting in Art Class in Middle School; watching Challenger and what was supposed to be the first teacher in space Christie M... we know how that turned out. My whole family adored the space program. I attended space camp. And My grandfather, this big burly Marine actually cried when they stepped onto the moon, so my grandma says. She as told not to tell anyone.
Is that near Wopakaneta ?
So did my father in the United Kingdom, Dagenham

Landing men on the moon and returning them home safely (5 times) has to be the greatest human achievement so far.
9 trips to the moon, 6 of them landed.
Still haven't had solid proof that they did, they are still working on a space suite that actually works on its own without umbilical tubes in a vacuum chamber let alone back in the 60's, which would be mandatory before you send people to walk on the moon, try and look it up folks there isn't one. There are plenty of clips showing how the spacesuits are made and how awkward it was to fit into them requiring 2 men, virtually impossible to climb into a space suite and fit the gloves and helmet on your own, worst still in a capsule don't you think. There are plenty of clips on the various Apollo trips of astronauts in their capsules not wearing their spacesuits, but no clips showing how they attempted to fit into them, a few clips of stupid things like brushing their teeth or showing weightlessness. There are some clips of blue sky through the porthole when they supposed to be approaching the moon. lol
@@MrPhil4jazz First of all, provide a source, second of all, please demonstrate a basic understanding of how any of this works, and btw they do have spacesuits that work without an umbilical. They've used them rarely in zero g because a cord connected to the spacecraft itself is far safer in zero g. They have made and tested such suits, before the apollo program. Before you make such claims maybe you should do some quick googling to confirm them?
Phil Ellis look at third party proof of the landing sights google will make this easy. It all was real and it all happened. You have what’s called cognitive dissonance. Judging from your lack of intelligence you’ll probably need to google that too. With your thought about needing an umbilical is the same principle as divers don’t need one when diving underwater especially with a re-breather creating a closed loop system. Essentially the same but with less risk as underwater is far more dangerous than the vacuum of space. I’ll assume you’re a “it’s a hoax” person and everything is a lie.

@@uwillnevahno6837 everybody is entitled to his opinion. In my case, it's not just an opinion.
@@alexsaptetrei correct, in your case you have an incorrect opinion devoid of evidence about space flight being a movie.
My mum remembers this moment. The Moon Landing took place in the late morning / early afternoon in Australian Eastern time and teachers ended classes early for the day. Everyone was instructed to go home and find a television that had the Moon Landing on it. Some feat for a small country town.
Imagine it, traveling 240,000 miles, totally reliant on the onboard systems to keep you alive and no hope of rescue if anything goes wrong.
Then while coming into land, the plan goes out the window and you have to land the thing manually to avoid landing on rocks and with fuel running low. Technology may be great but humans can think outside the box. Gotta hand it to those guys, having the balls to land a glorified tin can on the moon.
I always wonder what it would be like after placing your feet on the surface, that moment when you shed your fear of it and be like, ok here we go. Hats off to ya guys.

Hope HBO produce a miniseries like this again. It was everything I'd hoped for and more when I finally had the chance to see it.
Thank you so much America for bringing hope to the entire world.
Felt goose bumps for the Eucharistic scene. Catholic from India here . 😊❤️.
Love you USA from India.

I've got this entire series on DVD - well worth the investment. I love this! And I love that a lot of the same actors here were in Apollo 13, albeit in different roles. Apollo 12 is the most fun episode! :)
"BEANO!!! LOOK AT YOUR CHECKLIST!!!"
Episode 5 "Spider", with Apollo 9, is my personal favorite.
@@patfer1189 I agree - that's the one where they're designing it, right? If so, the humor in the episode. Though, I got an icy feeling in my middle when they messed up and the boss is like "This is so bad, I can't even laugh", and when he berated the young engineer, but then gave him the chance to fix the mistake. I know that feeling all too well. LOL
"SCE to auxiliary? What's that?"
@@RossComputerGuy this may not help (because I'm not sure it tells me anything) - but "Flight controller John Aaron solved the problem with one recommendation, “Flight, try SCE to AUX.” The Signal Conditioning Equipment (SCE) could resolve the instrumentation issues in auxiliary mode (AUX), preventing mission abort for Apollo 12."
How we as human beings are still fighting with one another when something as spectacular as the moon landing is such a human achievement is such a conundrum.
There are always more political creatures: unthinking, not learning. Greedy, cowardly.
I was 8 going on 9 years old at the time of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. I will always remember that night!
I was age 16 when we landed on the moon. I wanted to become an astronaut and was even accepted at FIT's Space Technology program back in 1970. Too bad Congress cut off the funding for Apollo 18, 19 and 20. Just think about what we could have learned about the Moon if those missions had proceeded on schedule! Nixon, you made a huge mistake when it came to our Space Program. You said all of those great things when Neil and Buzz were on the moon and you gave them a surprise telephone call to congratulate them, but in the end you cancelled the Apollo space program. What a huge mistake history will remember about you regarding the Apollo Space Program. You will be remembered as the person who cut off lunar science in the 1970s.
With the renewed interest in travel to the moon of late I have been searching for all the Apollo related videos I could find. I found this one very well done. As a child when the first moon landing occurred I was smitten with all things related to space and space travel. Videos like this refresh that excitement in me and like so many others, I get chills and a lump in my throat when I relive those moments.
I got goosebumps with the video
Lol 😂 check out the inverse square law and you will quickly see that’s it’s all BS

@@jimmorrison2657 methinks little jimmy does not understand the inverse square law?
Keep dreaming and put on a coat. We dont want a fone virus as you are texting while getting the chills.😁
I love this series to death, but looking at it now that I have recently listened to the actual comms from the Apollo 11 flight, it's really hokey how everything is so Hollywooded up. Everyone over reacts to everything. Apollo's greatest strength, a result of all the extensive simulations, was that nobody got emotional about anything, ever. Here it's all "Oh my god, the eagle hasn't replied yet!!" "Oh my god, it's a 1202 alarm!!!"
Not nearly as bad as First Man. However, I will say that there WAS a lot emotion - just not outwardly. Armstrong's heart rate was 156 in the moments before touchdown. But when you listen to the actual audio, it all sounds fine. This was an attempt to strike a balance between staying true to the actual recordings and making clear what was a big deal that you wouldn't understand from the real audio.
@@jeffmaxwell8297 It's the nature of it being entertainment. Reality is often boring. In The Right Stuff, they have the press conference introducing the Mercury astronauts and the guy is almost hysterical-I presume it was supposed to depict Cold War "hysteria." I've seen newsreels of the actual news conference and it was nothing like that. Same in Apollo 13, where they are doing a burn in the LM and screaming and yelling. In reality, it was nothing like that. At the end of the day, it has to be entertaining.

So true. The reason why they were successful was they were professional. Things like 1202 alarms had to be just dealt with. Over reacting was going to help nobody. That's how someone with absolutely no idea would handle the situation. (like me) Fortunately, these people had a handle on it, they trusted each other implicitly.
@@rocknral That's show business!
Simply epic!
What an amazing achievement.
A mere 66 years between the Wright brothers first powered flight to Neil Armstrong stepping on to the surface of the moon.
It just goes to show what we can achieve.
This beautiful moment still fills me with wonder, awe and hope for the future of the human race if we can all just work together in peace.❤
Wow.. I didn't know it was as close as just 66 years.. Amazing 😮
And one of the wright brothers said "Flight from new york to paris would happen in 1 million years."
literally (vsauce told me you know its legit.)
Just 66 years wow, I am 67 years old. I was 13 watching the moon landing in Jamaica on one of the few TV sets in my town.
NASA's manned moon landings are the greatest technological achievement of mankind. But don't forget that two world wars accelerated technological progress disproportionately. Without those hot wars and the following cold war 66 years wouldn't have been possible. Sad but true.
Amazing that they showed Buzz taking Holy Communion. It’s true, it happened but it’s the first time I’ve seen it in a film/documentary of the Apollo 11. So much has changed in our values today.
For the better yes.

History will never forget the names, Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins.
Unfortunately Collins barely ever gets mentioned.
And by all rights, history should still remember Conrad, Lovell, Shepard, Scott, Young, and Cernan.
Lovell gets recognition because of a mission that didn't even land, but Young is forgotten. Yet he remains the only man in history to fly Gemini twice, Apollo twice, and the Space Shuttle twice, as well as being on the very first flight of two of them AND having walked on the moon.
@Ben Carlson And what would it take to convince you otherwise? What proof do you require? If (for argument sake) it actually DID happen, what evidence would you need to see to finally accept it?

"I hope Neil puts on clean underwear before going out tonight."
"I don't care where he said he was going! He'd better get in by midnight or he's going to be grounded!"
I was 14, but was already aware that I am witnessing a historical moment, the significance of which I might never witness again in my lifetime. So I kept the newspaper from the next morning with the headline announcing 'Man on the Moon'. I still have it and treasure it. Today, at 67, I think I was right. There was nothing that happened in the following 53 years that captured my imagination the way the lunar landing did. An official announcement of contact with aliens might still prove me wrong.
Such a good miniseries! I remember watching it when it came out, it's really one of my favourites.
Don't care about the rest of Bryan's career however great, for me he will always be Buzz. Saw this show on UK C4 in ~1998. Amazing then, amazing now.

Apparently more to come.

What an amazing time to be alive. I feel so lucky to have been born at a time when I could see this.
Seriously, Bryan Cranston wasn't nearly as well known in '98 as he is today and it was a privilege to see him work.
