- none of the music is mine. NASA footage is public domain
Music from John Williams, the soundtrack of First Man, Civilization VI, Field of Dreams, etc.
Re-uploaded because I figured out how to fix the rendering stutters.
Apollo 14 footage available at Spacehistory.TV
Great job on these! Great to see these all strung together. Makes me feel closer to my grandfather!
It is an incredible honor to know that a member of the Roosa family saw this. Thank you so, so much. I have the highest respect and admiration for your grandfather and his generation. Great Depression-era country kids who grew up in the dust bowl..perhaps as far removed as you could possibly be from technology, ended up flying to the Moon. What an amazing time to be alive.
He’s a hero we are all thankful for your grandfather Stu and astronauts alike
Man can you imagine being a family member of an astronaut..nevermind an apollo astronaut. How could you possibly live up to that? My head would explode from the pressure lol. Mindboggling.
I have always thought the world (and beyond it!) of Stu. So classy, the way he educated young people like myself on the TV broadcast during the return portion of the flight. He was a fine person.
What an honor to have Stu as your granddad. How proud you must be. One of my heroes!
I was a 7th grader and got up at 3 am on a school morning to watch one of the moon walks. That day, I noticed a handful of kids at school looking just as tired as I did, and figured those were other true space fans.... Apollo 14 was magnificent. Having no Rover and assigned a steep climb with deceptive sun angles, Al and Ed did more with their own feet than any other two human beings.
Me too. I was in the 4th grade. I think at least one of the EVA's was Friday going into Saturday so no school that particular day, but the networks wanted no part of a broadcast anywhere near Prime Time, so 3 AM was fine with them. The first steps & EVA was during the school day and I remember them bringing a TV into the classroom so we could watch. I think it was the last time they gave full coverage to the moon walks, and, unfortunately, the TV camera was terrible. They had it fixed by Apollo 15, but by that time it was hard to find on TV. I'm going by pure memory, and it's a long time ago and I was young, so can't swear I remember right.
These are great documentaries created by someone who really knows their Apollo history
That's high praise, friend!
@@JacksonTyler I was six years old when man first stepped onto the Moon. I was rivetted to the program then, and have never stopped cherishing that unique time in history. I've seen so many docs about the moon missions, but have never learned as much 'new stuff' as I did while watching this one. So great that all the minutia of the problems encountered and solved is revealed. Loved it!
@@alexboon9035 Yes. Same here. Thanks, Jackson.
Uhhhhh he knows ALL the history
Man. Imagine what it was like to be one of them, on the *moon* for the first time, and feeling the gravity right after landing. One of the only humans in history to feel the gravity of another world.
I'm so glad to see the heroes of my youth get such love they deserve. Moves me to tears.
I just found these after watching air disasters so i guess they steered me to this. Great.
DANG AND I NEVER KNEW ANY OF THIS.. ITS ALL CHINESE TO ME.. INTERESTING TO SEE IT NOW THO..
These are without doubt some of the best documentaries I've ever seen, EVER!!! This is what the History Channel should look like. Not Bigfoot, UFO's
and Oak Island.
Ancient aliens?? That’s history isn’t it? “Conspiracy theorists say yes”…= history apparently….
Don't forget that he has a Patreon account now. I talked him into that. I'm also his first and highest Patreon, and damn glad to do it !!!
He really is good, there is no doubt about it.
He didn't believe me when I told him just how good he really is.
So keep sharing these videos of his, he's a great and talented kid and will no doubt go long distances in his upcoming career.
I'm just so glad to have been one of the first to find him and get his name out there.
I'm a lifelong, really long time space nut and watched all this stuff growing up in the 60's and the 70's.
He's absolutely spot on with all his work.....
Good job Kid !!!
Please don’t ever stop doing what you do Jackson . All your documentaries are masterfully edited and narrated. What also sets you apart is the footage you present, I’ve seen every NASA/Apollo documentary and they all use the same old footage over and over. I don’t even know where u find some of this stuff but it’s awesome. Big fan!
I recognized around 4 years ago that there was a huge hole in the "market" if you will for mission-specific videos of historic spaceflight. All TV/streaming documentaries present summarized looks at an entire program. The only mission specific documentaries I could find were the ones produced in the 1970's by NASA themselves -- mere months after the flights had ended. These all used pretty rough scans of the in-flight footage, and none of them aged too well, albeit I love them and still think they're fantastic.
I felt I had seen and collected enough footage to try and do one better -- to present these missions by showcasing the ACTUAL footage, not the same sequences we've all seen again and again from 11, and so on. It's been absolutely nothing but fun and worth every single second. I don't monetize these videos, either -- thanks to the music I've been using. I wouldn't want to charge people to watch public domain footage, anyway.
I know for a fact that dozens of 1980's/1990's space shuttle missions have entirely undigitized film rolls, just sitting and collecting dust somewhere at JSC. Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz, even Mercury and Gemini. I'm not quite sure how I can get good quality scans of this footage, but you can be guaranteed that if I do, I will use it to make more of these videos.
Thanks for watching, and stay tuned!
@@JacksonTyler NASA is civilian, as you know, and they are obliged to make all information (at least on civilian missions) available to the public. Perhaps you could get access by offering to digitize their footage via a public access request?
Drat, no conspiritards to laugh at. (Excellent work.)
Didn't realize A-14 had so many challenges of its own. I've done hikes where the destination appeared "just over the next ridge", but alas, terrain can be so deceiving that way, understand their frustration, so close, but no cigar. Very cool Shepard got to the moon, a real tribute to the original Mercury astros. Thank you for another great space doc, so educational!
That had to be so disheartening, not just for the astronauts but for the scientists and mission planners back home. It probably taught NASA the lesson that too many travelers and hikers here on Earth have learned: Maps and aerial views are deceiving. This also shows why the lunar rover was critical for future missions, they could make course corrections without wearing themselves out pulling a heavy cart the whole way. For Shepard, a 47-year old man to do this even as well as he did was no small feat.
FOR THESE KINDS OF ENDEAVORS A PAPERCLIP BEING OUT OF PLACE ON THE TABLE CAN SPELL DISASTER.. WE REALLY NEED TO RING IT HOME WITH THESE PEOPLE THAT ACCIDENTS ARE UNNACCEPTABLE.. CHECK IT ONCE.. CHECK IT TWICE.. CHECK IT THREE TIMES.. CHECK IT FOUR.. A MISCALCULATION IN THE PAINT COLOR COULD MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. AND THERE AR SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE PART OF THESE MISSIONS AND WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH THEY LIKE TO MONKEY AROUND THAT I FEAR DISASTER IS JUST INEVITABLE.. AND I THINK THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED IN APOLLO 13.. EVERYONE WAS TAKING SO MANY LUDES THEY FORGOT WHAT WAS GOING ON.. I WISH I COULD LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THAT WAS THE WAY THINGS WORKED.. BUT IT ISNT. THINGS HAVE TO BE PRECISE.. THEY HAVE TO WORK 100% OF THE TIME.. ONE LITTLE THING OUT OF PLACE AND THE WHOLE THING DOESNT WORK.. GREG IN SECTOR 4 BEING A DUMBASS SIMPLY DOESNT CUT THE MUSTARD.. @@thunderbird1921
This is SO much more thorough than the NASA docs on these missions! More please!!...
Jackson, I just have to tell you how special your documentaries are. I have a 2 year old grandson that loves your videos. He is rambunctious, full of energy and just won't sit still (which is awesome btw) but as soon as I show him your videos he sits calmly and watches intently. It's one of the few things that captures his attention for any length of time. He loves watching the launches over and over. He points at the rockets and says "look Ga Pa rocket ships go up and up and up." He sits quietly and listens to your voice and watches everything, even all the Nasa technical stuff. It's truly amazing watching his eyes light up as he watches and learns. Your documentaries are encouraging a new generation of exploration and science.
Thank you...
Oh, my. What a hidden gem this channel is. And as so many have already said, these are simply the best vintage space era documentaries that I've found on UA-cam. Masterful choices in clips, dialogue, and most of all--editing.
Amazing to learn of that “Earth” meteorite ...48 years later !! Thanks again for a great show !!
Yeah that meteorite from Earth was a blast for me!
This documentaries are incredibile on so many levels, they are art!
Luv these ReMastered Apollo & Mercury Space Program Documentaries. I was 15 when Neil & Buzz set foot on the Moon. I remember the Whole World stopped for Apollo 11 & 13, it was an amazing once in a lifetime experience that these Documentaries do a Real Justice to. The Post-Apollo era people will learn how important these Space Programs were by watching them. Great Job ! !
These documentaries are fantastic. I truly drives home what Jim Lovell said in that, "There is no routine mission to the Moon."
Absolutely amazing documentaries! Wonderful job. As an Apollo junkie, it was great to see the explanation of the drogue capture system. Some of the best documentaries of the Mercury and Apollo missions was created by one person? Amazing and cannot wait to see what you do with Gemini!
These shows are so good. I've watched them all, totally out of order, and they have made the man in space a major focus. I have felt closer to the people in the spaceship than I have watching anything else. Genuine legends one and all and after these Documentary's , in my mind at least, more real. The open Vox moments are priceless.
I am typing this 50 years to the moment Apollo 14 Launched. Good documentary.
"You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch'."
-- Edgar Mitchell
Still so relevant today that comment
@@eldavieo do we have to give them a space suit?
@@fuzzblightyear145 definitely not 😂
The documentaries you make are pure gold. The music is the icing. Thank you.
Your documentaries are better than any other Apollo documentaries I’ve seen, primarily because you’re not afraid to go into minute and nerdy details. I love it!
Crazy that so few people have seen this. It's excellent!
This video documentary is absolutely brilliant ....one of the best I have ever seen! The backdrop educational material was very informative and provided rare insights into the collective contribution of the men and women who made the Apollo lunar landing missions possible. President Kennedy would have been very proud indeed.
Your videos are so rewarding and you have an excellent narrator's voice. And let me say how good your music selection is. I notice things like that and it's excellent.
Thank you sir!
I just today realized that you're a Pitt student--your world-class documentaries are what got me through my last few months at neighboring CMU! Thank you for the incredible quality content, Jackson. Keep it up, I'm loving every moment!
Thanks!! Curious…how did you find out?
I’m sure I posted it somewhere, but I can’t specifically recall!
@@JacksonTyler Oh on your Patreon! I was looking into signing up, and thought it was really cool that another Pittsburgher is making these! ☺️
Oh, I see! Yeah it’s a neat area out here. I must admit I’m not from here originally. Moved all over because of parents. Born in Virginia, raised in Arizona, finished school in Connecticut, and here I am now going to college at Pitt! It’s a cool place and the people are very nice. Plus, I kind of _really_ love hot wings. It’s my one true vice…and having spent most of my life in New England/the southwest, it wasn’t considered a “staple” of the local diet. This area is quite flush with pubs and wing joints…I’m in culinary heaven. The hotter, the better!
@@JacksonTyler Me either, I moved out for grad school too! But oh man the food (and museums!) are definitely the best part of that wacky city! I'm a California boy who just moved back (graduated in May) but man do I miss the pierogis... 😂
What a great storytelling!!! No pompous music, no cheap drama narration...
Apollo, by far, is Americas most amazing achievement.
You certainly get into detail for each of these flights that I've just not seen in other really good documentaries as well. Yours provides a unique perspective and really appreciate being able to see and hear the stories behind these that you have put together. Look forward to more of these on other aeronautical topics if you go that route.
You have done an extraordinary job on this documentation! Thank you very much for letting us live through this amazing feat of engineering once again!
Really enjoying these documentaries, so well put together. These guys really were pioneers. Thankyou so much for making and sharing these.
Thank you for all the work you've done on these documentaries....there really is nothing out there that goes into this level of granularity on each Apollo mission.
I am slowly working my way through these superb videos. Your clear easy to understand , yet concise technical descriptions of the problems that occurred on each mission really add to the depth. Once again you pull out fantastic film I’ve never seen before. Beautifully crafted. I get emotional watching anything to do with the Apollo program. These docs have the same effect.
Well done.
Brilliantly done and HUGE history that isn't taught anywhere as far as I know. Thank You!
Your channel and all the work you do is a GEM
I am having a great time enjoying all of the extra detailed explanation, audio, and footage included of these missions. Very exciting for me! Thank you so much for this
That was brilliant Jackson, thank you so much for this. Fantastic detail and a mission not covered to well up until now.
Thanks for watching and for your kind words!
Great job on all these documentaries Jackson. I’ve listened to all of these documentaries during work countless times when I need something to inspire my imagination.
Another stupendous video--thank you! BTW, I had the pleasure of meeting Ed Mitchell at his home in Florida on two separate occasions. We talked about the mission, quantum mechanics, ESP, and his current activities at the time. He also enjoyed telling me about he and Al's "Lunar Olympics," which included not only Al's golfing but Ed throwing a lunar scoop handle as if it were a javelin (you can see this at 1:22:45). 😀
the past couple mornings ive gotten up extra early to watch these docmetaires. i cant freakin stop man. these are so darn good. pls dont ever stop!
These are the greats documentaries I have watched on the Apollo missions!! Great job editing and piecing together history with the videos.
You have a gift for these; they’ve all been incredible
Sub'ed. Avid nasa buff since '82. Read all the books, watched all the shows, witnessed many launches and shook some astro's hands. NEVER BEFORE has anyone explained so fully (that I could really understand): CM/LM soft dock, A14's new DOI, Core Rope Memory, recycle the landing radar...whew!, and Big Bertha. One bone to pick - Al had a Endolymphatic Sac shunt, not a modern Cochlear implant, albeit by the same pioneer implant Dr., his was mainly a drainage tube, not a electrical hearing device. Well done sir! Off to Paetron to send you money. Best docus ever! Best account of A-14 ever! Hey, how bout a fresh deep dive into the X-15, NF-104 and those competitive days at Edwards - how bout teaching the world about Dyna-Soar? Much respect.
This has been the greatest binge weekend I've had on your Apollo mission videos
Very enjoyable documentary. I particularly remember the difficulties with transposition and docking on the way to the moon. Your film brought back all of the tension that I remember when I watched live as a young boy. Well done!
You've done an excellent job putting these together. I believe I have watched every one. These videos take me back to my earliest memories. Thank you❤
This is another excellent presentation from your channel. I’ve watched a few documentaries about Apollo 14, but this was the best. Very informative and interesting.
Cannot tell you howmuch I enjoy your exceptional documentaries.
Wow, such in-depth analysis. You really get a feel for what was actually going on at both the cutting edge and behind the scenes. A really well written documentary, more like this please. Liked and subscribed. :-D
Really well put together documentary - from the flow of the story, the explanations, the mission highlights, the music... Condensing the mission duration to a succinct, yet informative, 90min film. Very impressive! Watched this on the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 14 launch, January 31, 2021.
These are some of the best space docs out there. Well done to you! Would love to see Gemini part 2
You make these documentaries an adventure for us. Thank you.
Got to say that I had intended just to skim through this video---bouncing through different scenes, and knocking it off pretty quickly as I had other things to tend to. Well, that didn't happen. I couldn't deny myself a moment out of this great work. An hour and a half presentation that felt like ten minutes!
Thank you for your efforts with these videos, and the BUNCH of intense back-story items that I'd never heard of!
Kim
Your work is fantastic! You blend new information to all of your documentaries… I like the way you weave in actuarials a nd your terrific narration, great, music…. Just really well crafted and produced.
Jackson, what you are accomplishing with these docs is truly remarkable. the best narration and visuals I've seen and heard. Factual, concise, accurate and accomplished with respect, I am totally impressed. Please continue to exercise your dedication to excellence. You do our Nation's NASA hero's honor that they so truly deserve.
I avidly followed Project Mercury, Gemini and Apollo as a kid and young man. My 6th grade teacher brought a radio into our classroom and we listened to John Glenn's historic orbits around the earth. This was a fascinating series of documentaries.
This is the best sequence and explanation of the docking problem I have ever seen sir outstanding work! I've spent hours watching these Apollo mission documentaries this weekend that you have created and uploaded for us to saviour and enjoy and each one is a work of art, thank you so much
So glad you like them!!!
Its a good video when the viewer is as impressed with the script, pace, editing and cohesive story than the actual mission itself. nice work!
Astoundingly professional for one person to have created. Very well done indeed, Jackson. Thank you
I'm in love with your work. You do such a fine job with the audio/soundtrack, I honestly can't tell how often I just listened to the segment starting around minute 39 going forward. Thank you.
Great documentary as all others. Watching this just a few days after 50 years of happening and still remembering details being a 15 year old boy at that moment is highly emotional. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Paraguay.
Happy 50th Apollo 14. Thank you for this wonderful doc.
I'll just throw my thanks into the comments too! Really great work, and fantastic rare/extended footage that would normally be cut from mainstream documentaries.
Best coverage I have ever seen about Apollo Program. Well done.
This is a very well done documentary, and the best I have ever seen about Apollo 14. Great narration, with info and facts I did not know. Great editing, and music, and paced very well. I was a high school sophomore during this flight, and it remains one of my favorites. Excellent work!
Thank you!!
Thanks for including the little side projects. I find these the most interestting because they dont get talked about enough. Other examples apollo 13 comet and weather pictures.
I love all of the Apollo series that you done and Apollo14 has been my favorite mission. I have always love the background music you proved in the pass which I have wrote to you before, this series is great, you've done great work it fit the mood of the mission thanks
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much for your tremendous work on these documentaries. I always come back to your videos to enjoy the wonder, awe, and inspiration of this great era when humans dared to go to the moon. These documentaries are well researched and expertly presented. Bravo! 👏
I love this channel!! I get a little bored watching Spacecraft Films, this takes it up many notches! Thank You
This has probably been said many times in comments that have been made with many of your docos, but it is the quiet times that make these so very good. You seem to know when to talk and when not to. You let the vision and the commentary made by those involved tell the story. Careful inclusion of the vision taken, acknowledgement of the scientific experiments that were left on the moon and which are still being used today and a small history of those involved make these a joy to watch! Well done!
That’s high praise friend, thank you
Like someone said, masterful. I skipped school so I could watch Al and Ed head for cone crater and sent away to NASA for some brochures about it months later. It was a terrific mission and this video was great. Thanks!
Love these documentaries!! I remember the entire Apollo program, and what a fantastic way to relive those moments!
Jackson, your homemade documentaries have kept me glued to your channel all week. I know you've been told this 5,000 times, but... just wow. Fantastic work on these. What you've done here completely eclipses all other Apollo mission documentaries. Truly incredible work. Thank you.
Thanks for the love - I’m fortunate.
Great videos no matter how many of these I watch I always learn something new!
Lord, what a talented film maker you are. Thank you from an old man.
Absolutely fantastic, i am a junkie for this, watch tons of videos, but I have never seen some of the material you present. These by far are the best documentaries on the Apollo Missions.
Love ur docs, awesome work, this is the 3rd time im watching from apollo 11 to 16
Glad you like them so much! Hopefully when I remaster 16 and 17 they will live up to these ones.
I'd forgotten how good your documentaries really are. Keep it up!
Best Channel/Videos on the Whole UA-cam Platform
If you want to see humanity at its most resourceful, all you need to look at is the apollo missions.
Crazy to think the power of the first stage F1 engine. Producing over 1 million pounds of thrust it could theoretically with just one engine strap to a fully loaded 747 (900, 000 lbs) lift and accelerate it straight up off the the ground !! Incredible 👍🏼
It is till date the most powerful single rocket engine ever, by a factor of 3.
Just a absolutely fine job with this doc. Top notch.
Thank you for a wonderful documentary.
So glad you enjoyed it
These are fantastic Jackson. I love them. Not a talking head in sight telling us how to think and interpret the story. Bravo, a great body of work
Hopefully more to come! Haha
There is absolutely nothing homemade about your documentaries. Great job, and thank you.
Superlative. I see 48 Neanderthals gave this a thumbs down.......and I thought they had become extinct
That's just the local flat earth smooth brain potato contingent.
Phenomenal documentary! Bravo Sir, Bravo! Thank you, and congratulations on a well done piece of craftsmanship.
Soooo interesting about the spacesuits (and of course everything just brilliant). I really don't remember seeing a documentary that discussed this properly before. Everything you do is magic.
There’s an episode of the Moon Machines series focused on the development and manufacture of the Apollo space suit. Excellent episode from an excellent series.
@@SynchronizorVideos Thank you so much - I have now found the series. X
These homemade documentaries are excellent. Just what I want - lots of detail and very well restored film.
FYI, at the age of 21, I saw Apollo 14 re-enter the atmosphere just after 08:00 on a beautiful fine Auckland morning, standing on a sidewalk near where I worked (Pitt St, opposite Poynton Tce, for you Kiwis).
First the service module appeared about 20 ° above the northern horizon, moving left to right at a slow decline. It quickly broke into dozens of smaller globules of all possible colors, each with its own long streaming tail.
A few moments later the command module appeared as a single, steady, brilliant magnesium-white flare with a perfectly smooth tail and no globules.
I watched through medium-power binoculars, my jaw hanging open in awe.
"Are you all right?" an old lady asked, as she passed me, walking up the hill, away from the sight.
"Look, look!" I said, unable to form a sentence but pointing to the northern sky. She just kept on walking.
As far as I know, nobody else saw it but I could be wrong. Some idiot astronomy "expert" called Reid had advised that there would be nothing to see in the bright morning light. Had I know how wrong he would prove to be, I would have lugged my Nikon F, a tripod and a 300mm lens up the hill but I expected to see nothing.
It was the greatest missed photo opportunity of my life. That night I painted my binocular view in acrylics, but it's just not the same.
A great story and memory! Thanks so much for sharing your perspective
Fantastic! You really added a lot to a story I know well. Thank you!
This is such a wonderful Documentary. Well done young man!
This was just outstanding!
It's the little details like in chapter 5 as they are preparing to launch during the countdown the background music is "hard times come again no more"
Incredible the succession of incidents these astronauts had to face and overcome. Being lost in the surface of a small world with such a close horizon, looking for a feature that could assure them they were heading in the right direction... simply incredible they turned back to collect samples. No panick, just simple strength of character and sense of mission.
Amazing people.
Great documentary, one that we don't see on TV anymore. 👌
What a treat they are your documentaries, so detailed, so excellently researched. Like someone said before, I have seen so many Apollo and space related documentaries but yours are fresh and an absolute pleasure to watch, keep 'em coming!!!
Watching Apollo documentaries never gets old. Thank you for this great piece.
Wow, just stumbled across this video and I'm hooked. Thorough beyond belief, your work is stellar, pun completely intended 👍👍
This channel does real, quality work. Very best of luck in your future career endeavors.
Beautiful, great job. Moving and interesting, thank you very much!
OHMYGOD. I laughed hard (and SANG) with The Platters. 😂 On a serious note, THANK YOU APOLLO 14, for everything you did. For never giving up. And thank you HD, for this outstanding documentary. ✨
I love that the launch of Apollo 14 conjures the sentiment that "hard times come again no more"
