Here because I’ve just heard of the passing of USAF Colonel Frank Frederick Borman II at 95; he has passed away on 11/7/23. Will be forever grateful for the immense bravery of Borman and the rest of the astronauts.
Without in any way trying to diminish the amazing achievement of Apollo 11, Apollo 8 was the one that took most guts to pull off. Those three men must have balls so big, they find it hard to walk.
No backup spacecraft to serve as a lifeboat if the Command-Service module failed. Software to send the spacecraft out of Earth orbit and into lunar orbit developed in just a few months. Trusting the Saturn V to do the job after just one successful flight and one glitchy one. A truly gutsy decision to send Apollo 8 around the Moon. Rest in peace, Commander Frank Borman.
They did. In fact, Anders' balls were so big, even to this day, that it weighed down his vintage plane and caused him to crash recently. RIP, Bill Anders. I'm pretty sure he was the last one around from 8 😕
HOW IN THE BLOODY BLAZES OF HELL, DID THE FOOTAGE OF THE APOLLO - 16 LAUNCH, SUDDENLY WAS ADDED TO THIS FILM ? I SURE LIKE TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS WEIRD MYSTERY.
Cool. I remember Apollo 8 and that iconic Earth Rise photo. Heady times indeed. As a child of Apollo I feel fortunate to have witnessed all of it. We don't do great things anymore, things that unite a nation. That's too bad. I think when you stop doing great things, you stop being great, but that's me.
Almost too much for words. Just amazing. One of my most prized possessions is a photo I have of me standing between Jim Lovell and Frank Borman taken in a corporate tent at a California air show in the mid 90s.
Well keep in mind, there was still problems at this time. These same people had "whites only" bathrooms, waterfountains and businesses, and "Colored" areas in the back of the bus. I say that yo say, dont romanticize history, take it with a grain of salt 😊
@@MrGraceThe Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were in effect. There were no segregated water fountains, lavatories, restaurants, etc. when Apollo 8 orbited the moon. I was a teenager back then and had enlisted in the USMC in the 70s. Race relations back then, at least among younger people and those in the military, were infinitely better than today, where identity politics and the cult of wokeness is destroying the country.

I feel like some of these interviews with people are cut from random videos and cut together, or stitched together out of order. When talking about the Saturn V, the S1-C ignited first, which used RP1 and Lox, not LH2 and Lox. The S-II stage and S-IVB of the launch vehicle used LH2 and Lox. Not a huge deal, but it's worth noting.

What I don't get is how the moon landings work the first time with little technology and the hubble didn't work the first time with all that technology 🤔 something doesn't sit right with all this
Example. There are modern car models that are being recalled due to manufacturing defects and mistakes. At the same time, there are models from the 50s that weren't recalled because they had no issues. It doesn't matter how modern and advanced your technology is if you just mess something up. Hubble at the time was cutting-edge technology with manufacturing precision that was never required in the Apollo missions.
Al Worden, a member of the Apollo 15 mission, described the sky as "awash with stars" while on the far side of the Moon. - Yes. They did see stars. Here is an excerpt from the Apollo 11 Transcript. 02 23 59 20 CDR: Houston, it's been a real change for us. Now we are able to see stars again and recognize constellations for the first time on the trip. It's - the sky is full of stars. Just like the nightside of Earth. But all the way here, we have only been able to see stars occasionally and perhaps through the monocular, but not recognize any star patterns. What do you mean by the rest of the universe?
Hi P, hope that you are well. You mentioned the Van Allen Belts. While travel through this region of space requires careful planning, it is not the insurmountable obstacle that many reality deniers, in their ignorance, imagine it to be. The Van Allen Belts is a region of charged particles originating mainly from the solar wind that are contained by the Earth's magnetic field. The capsule walls and equipment shielded the astronauts from much of the particle radiation. The radiation dosage received by an astronaut while passing through the Van Allen Belts will depend on factors such as speed, shielding, trajectory, time spend in the region etc. The aim of the Apollo missions was to minimise the time spent in this region of space and thus reduce the exposure to a minimum. Here is quote from James Van Allen himself in 2004. "the outbound and inbound trajectories of the Apollo spacecraft cut through the outer portions of the inner belt and because of their high speed spent only about 15 minutes in traversing the region and less than 2 hours in traversing the much less penetrating radiation in the outer radiation belt. The resulting radiation exposure for the round trip was less than 1% of a fatal dosage - a very minor risk among the far greater other risks of such flights. Take care.
This is a very good documentary however it is slightly diminished by the mention and notion that god played some part in it. The mission was a success because the US had a more stringent and accountable education system than today. Of course, at the same time, the Vietnam War was in a downward spiral with civil unrest at home as a negative feeling at that time. On the upside, the music was legendary. The turmoil of the US during the late 60s shaped a generation that seems to be missing in the 2020s. The US was at it's finest from 1941 to the early 1970 , in my opinion. They have a lot to be proud of and a lot to be ashamed of. To return to these great times will not be in the near future, sadly.
Whoever came up with the idea of producing this fine documentary, certainly made a terrible blunder on the entire project. Didn't the individual himself, realized that he was making a documentary on the historic Christmas journey around the moon, achieved by the crew of APOLLO-8, back in December ' 1968 ? If this is the case, then why in God's name did he used the footage of the APOLLO - 16 LAUNCH, that took astronauts JOHN YOUNG, KEN MATTINGLY and CHARLIE DUKE, on their journey in April of 1972, to be included here in this film ? That is ONE WEIRD MYSTERY, that many space buffs like myself are eager to find out, someday.
I believed all of this for five decades. About twenty years ago I began having second thoughts, after much study of the engineering and state of the world at the time. Fifteen years ago I met a young woman at a dinner party whose father graduated from the Naval Academy, flew for the Navy in Nam, and flew three STS (space shuttle) missions. This woman told me that her father said that the moon landings were faked. Hearing this, I was stunned. She said it several times; the landings were faked. Now, I believe it. It was all BS to bolster the mindsets of Americans and keep thoughts from the Viet Nam war and the assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and MLK.
The engineering of the time was up to the task. One easy way to confirm that is by consulting the engineers and scientists of the present day, who are hard at work on _current_ lunar missions, of which there are several - more than any other time in history. Not just NASA, but also numerous private companies and space agencies from other countries. The work of those present day engineers and scientists draws, to varying degrees, on the accomplishments of Apollo. As does the curriculum of courses in orbital mechanics taught in several universities around the world. People who understand intimately how Apollo worked, who themselves work in aerospace - of them, you won't find a single one who doubts the veracity of the Apollo program.
A press conference could be held in which the president of the United States, the head of NASA, and the surviving Apollo astronauts all go onstage and say, "Apollo was fake!" But it still wouldn't change anything. That's because Apollo is _objectively_ proveable - it doesn't matter what anyone _says,_ the science speaks for itself.

The question I have is what did the Astronauts say about seeing the Stars, the rest of the Universe from orbit and from the Moon?
Al Worden, a member of the Apollo 15 mission, described the sky as "awash with stars" while on the far side of the Moon.
