Finally!!! Finally...a video that talks about the Apollo 11 Command Module and only mentions Mike Collins..and doesn't mention Armstrong and Aldrin. It is about time, seeing as we are talking about the Command Module. It was Collins' ship after all. He was the Command Module Pilot. Collins doesn't get the credit that he deserves. The Apollo missions were 3 person missions..with all guys playing an equally important role. He had the most stress of all of the men, imo. He was the 'ride home'. Just imagine his thoughts when driving home alone if something had gone wrong... Fortunately, lunar landing, takeoff and rendezvous were all successful and the team made it home in one piece! Yay!
Everyone talks about Armstrong like he developed and designed everything, funded the whole project like he was going to the North pole or something. There were 15 astronauts who came BEFORE him....three who were killed......all testing and proving the ships, systems, techniques and procedures. Armstrong just happened to be in the right spot in the flight rotation and lucky that all of the previous mission types were successfully completed prior to the first landing attempt. ANY one of the astronauts could have been first. We should attribute the accomplishment to ALL of them.
As much as I admire Armstrong and appreciate Aldrin’s contribution, Collins really is the most engaging storyteller of the three. His accounts of his experiences are truly inspiring and relatable. He’s damned funny, too.
@@DougWittrock Yup Did this lump of junk look like it survived the 3,000 degrees of heat from the friction of the atmosphere?? Plus 3 people came out unharmed??? You fucking simpleton!! I would forgive your stupidity..if you were not so quick to insult others !!

My grandfather worked as a machinist in landing and recovery in clear lake. I have a picture of him inside what appears to be a prototype apollo command module, inspecting work in mid construction, with a partner and a pen light in his mouth. I also have one with him, kneeling by a large model of a shuttle prototype, along with what apart to be drafts men. Beyond that, i have no idea what he has contributed to. His name, ronald h rhodes. I wish i knew more. I know he would have greatly appreciated seeing his work translated through your gorgeous scan. Great work.
"... inspecting work in mid construction, with a partner and a pen light in his mouth." I'm sorry, I just got this image of your grandfather with a partner in his mouth :-)
It is on display in Pittsburgh right now I went to see it on Saturday AMAZING I stood no more than 3 feet away from it with no glass between me and it since the very first people on Earth looked up at the moon and asked themselves "what would it be like to go there" here I was thousands of years later standing just an arms length away from part of the vehicle that took man there I'll never forget it

This is great, finally we have the command module interior dimensions, to picture ourselves as the pioneer astronauts inside the space ship. Once this module is in zero gravity, plenty of room will be available for the astronauts.
Based on the size and shape of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo spacecraft, I can definitively say that there is no way I could have been an astronaut. I couldn't deal with those small and cramped spaces. Kudos to the astronauts of all those programs.
I mean if those freak one out on earth I can only imagine how scary it would be to know outside this tiny thing was nothing but inhospitable outer space for a long, long distance.

Solid waste was collected in plastic bags that were taped to their rear ends. Then the bags were stored in the empty food lockers, where after all the poop originally had come from. Liquid waste was discharged into a funnel connected to the outside so the urine was dumped overboard.
When the Module returned, it was temporarily stored in a hanger on Hickman AFB. I was 12 at the time. My friend and I were wondering around the hangers and came across the module sitting unguarded on a flatbed. We climbed up and all over the module. We tried to get inside, but no dice. Good thing as we would have been in some serious trouble. Might have needed to quarantine the entire base.
Wow! Very nice work! Could the Smithsonian/NASA add Apollo 4 to it's future list of Apollo CM's to scan? It would help in my restoration of Apollo BP A28 024. I'd love to be able to share a photo of my restoration facility....you'd be surprised to see the challenges some of face with a "limited" budget.
There are a couple of Apollo Lunar Modules on display. Obviously neither was even flown in Space, and you can only look inside, you wouldn't be allowed to enter one of them. But here's where they're located. One is at The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. The other is at The Cradle of Aviation Museum, Mitchel Field, Long Island.
You put on the hugs space suit with the huge head piece, then you can move around. I am more inclined to ask about the batteries that powered everything including the rover, using 60s battery technology.
@@Pippy_Pappy Hi PP, hope that you are well. You wrote that "batteries ...powered everything". This is not correct. The main source of electrical power in the Apollo Command Module was from a set of three fuel cells housed in the Service Module. As for the Lunar Rover electrical power was provided by two 36-volt silver-zinc potassium hydroxide batteries developed by Eagle-Picher with a charge capacity of 121 A·h each giving a range of some 90 km). These were used to power the drive and steering motors and also a 36-volt utility outlet mounted on the front of the LRV to power the communications relay unit or the TV camera. These batteries were non-rechargeable and prohibitable expensive for general sale. Take care.
amazing project and great detail still after clicking link was greatly disappointed. you cant see any numbers or text, all washed out, average graphics. good enough for video game and saying oh thats cool but no more :/ I understand most of us anyway dont understand those numbers and what they mean but i think it would have been cool to see anyway.
I never considered myself to be claustrophobic....but when I saw this and imagined being secured in my seat, with a huge suit on, with 3 other guys, and unable to open a window or a hatch....yeah, i might have a hard time with this.
Certainly, and the Apollo module was even big in comparison with the cramped Soyuz module, where also 3 double-folded cosmonauts are squeezed in ... Soyuz is still in use today.
But guys this is a piece of scrape material, like looking inside an old cave ! But really some piece of evidence of what we are and are ready to go through just to shine.
yes It was indeed, quite amazing. Well worth reading up on the whole history of the program - look at how small the craft were in the Mercury, and Gemini program, too. Those were small...
Imagine staying in that tight ass space for a week pooping and peeing together. The technology confirms for me at least it wasn't possible. With no attitude control those guys would be like whipped cream. The command consuls couldn't have withstood the van Allen belts no way.. also something I never really paid attention to is the fact that there are only one set of doors. How are they able to control internal atmosphere. What do they let all the air out when the doors open. That's ridiculous I thought recycling oxygen or making use of it would be essential or at least practical for a number of reasons. Lastly have you ever tried staying seated for 3 days your legs would be like mashed potatoes
Felton Mitchell So much to cover. When weightless, they could float around. They did have 2 doors. Your comment betrays an utter lack of research. Sad, but not surprising.
I meant to say there should have been an enter and outer compartment in the event the door malfunctions this was clearly a design flaw that was omitted. By not decompressing before returning there would be space dust everywhere and that could possibly get into your command controls destroying those 1960 controls.
Allan Needell aged a whole lot since he refused that journalist from NYC to measure the hatch of the lunar module in "Was it Only A Paper Moon?" documentary. Appears he has loosened up since that time and allowed a whole team to measure and recreate the command module in a 3-D scan. Or maybe it's just the recreated lunar module he's cranky and protective about.
Maybe because this was a professional team that knew WTF they were doing, rather than an amateur with an attitude and something to prove? Just a theory!
You are a conspiracy troll, who does not even believe your own BS. Like all You Tube conspiracy trolls, you lie and lie and lie, for no reason other then to find an excuse to spam and harass. PS: I worked at JPL 1974-1986.
Why would it be radioactive? Oh you mean the passage through the van Allen belts? Wrong sort of radiation try looking up what the VAB are and how they bypassed them.
No it is not radioactive. This module orbited the moon while the Lander transferred the two astronauts to the surface and back. There are a couple of types of radiation. In space almost all radiation comes from charged particles produced by the sun. These are mostly electrons and protons. Some of these are held in the earth’s magentic fiels producing the Van Allen Belts. These do not make other materials radioactive. Radioactive decay is a process that occurs in unstable atomic nuclei. The instability results in an emission of: - alpha particles (2 protons and 2 meutron bound together). These can be blocked by a t shirt but cause damage to whatever they impacr - beta particles which can be positive or negative depending on the parent material. Beta negative is produced when a neutron in an atoms nucleus transforms into an electron a proton and an antineutrino. Beta positive is when a proton transforms into a neutrino a positron and a neutron. Beta radiation can be stopped by a few millimetres of aluminium - gamma radiation often follows the nuclear decay when the nucleus now left in an excited state sheds energy by emitting a gamma ray. Gamma radiation is the most penetrating and require several centimetres of lead to stop them. Materials become radioactive when the nucleus becomes unstable. It occurs in high energy fusion processes in tje sun. We can producs it by lacing an object near a source emitting beta positive radiation and it absorbs enough neutrons to make the nucleus unstable. Radioactive carbon can be produced in the atmosphere by the interaction between cosmic rays and atmospheric nitrogen. The command module did not become radioactive during the moon mission
Had air filters in both the command and lunar modules. However they were used to absorb carbon dioxide. And since farts are composed of carbon monoxide. That might be somewhat of a problem for the air filter system on board Apollo.
I want to know what it was like to take a dump on the way to the moon. After all you are shoulder to shoulder with two other guys. Must have been a hoot for the odd two to be right there. And to think no ventilation, and you can't open a window!!!! Must have been like going to the moon in an outhouse.....
Read that was the thing they hated the most. Basically had to do it into a plastic bag that sealed around their anus (hopefully) they nicknamed the ass-gasket. And with no gravity to facilitate separation when exiting from the body, the bag had built-in finger inserts (like fingers of a glove) for the astronaut to move it along into the bag. They then had to add a bactericide into the bag (to prevent ballooning) seal it, squish the contents for even distribution of the bactericide, roll it up, then store it to be brought back to earth. They were truly dedicated.
The command module is one of the most important & incredible machines ever created by mankind. This space capsule is comprised of thousands of moving parts, switches and gauges that required one human (not computers) to manually maneuver and pilot it in a new dark and cold place known as earth's outer orbit and beyond (moon), amazing for 1969!!! Fast forward, only 50 years later & private company's such as SpaceX demonstrate the vast technological advances with their autopilot everything space vehicles. Then, they top that by making their vehicles re-useable everything with extra gas left over! LOL! truly AMAZING!!! Next 50 years... humans will be a multiplanetary race. To mankind & the wonders of space and beyond. If we humans survive outside of earth, it will be because of humans like Mr. Michael Collins & Mr. Elon Musk!
It's funny the average dip shit who doesn't believe we went to the moon has no problem believing in Adam and Eve and the world being created in 6 days.
Steven M I remember Apollo11 like it was yesterday. My dad got me into the space program in about 1963 when I was 4! I was 10 on July 20th 1969. I can’t for the life of me understand how idiots think that it was fake! Is the Empire State building fake? Is the Hoover dam fake? Is the Golden Gate bridge fake? NO! Apollo 11was an incredible engineering achievement just like the the others.
Jerry Perry One, ONE, reel of telemetric data was overwritten (not destroyed) from the Apollo 11 flight. Yet, somehow, that bit of misinformation is proof that we never went to the moon. And, it isn’t that NASA has forgotten how to get to the moon, it’s that most of that human experience and hands-on skill set that built the rockets and calculated the data has been lost as those craftsmen die and that knowledge is lost. It’s like how we’re not entirely sure how the pyramids were built. We know they were, we even have written records and the structures themselves, but we don’t have the minds of the architects.
Wasn't the Apollo 11 command module sunk in the sea? I mean it was the time when everyone was scared of some lunar bacteria or virus that would cause an epidemic....
No it was not sunk. The astronauts did have to go into quarantine for two weeks to be sure they didn't bring back any moon germs but no germs were ever found.
@@MIMALECKIPL You might be thinking of "Liberty Bell 7", which was Guss Grissom's Mercury capsule. It did sink and was lost in the ocean, however it has since been recovered. I've actually seen it. As far as the Apollo 11 command module "Columbia", it never sank. I've personally seen it as well.
@@joevignolor4u949 No that's not the thing. Liberty Bell 7 was an accident at recovery, and I mean Apollo 11 command module. EDIT: OK, I had the bit different info - now I learned that what was sunk was raft a with decontamination materials. OK, case solved.
Has anyone been wondering how the astronauts were able to enter this module before they returned to Earth with so little room and impossibilities if you were to visualize and imagine and measure each scenario, and consider the room required for parachutes and mechanism to deploy the parachutes and heat shield... There is not enough room for anything, but when you want to believe in something, all impossibilities disappear. As Mark Twain said, "it is easier to fool people than convince them that they've been fooled."
Why? Because you say so? Saying it is one thing, let's see you prove it. Good luck with that. As for this moon hoax nonsense, hoax believers have been bringing forth supposed evidence of faked moon landings for years now and every single bit of it has been debunked. Most of it with very little effort because most hoax believers have little knowledge about the topics involved such as radiation, thermodynamics and aerospace engineering. Something doesn't look right to them so instead of actually doing research about it. Meanwhile, there is lots of irrefutable proof that the scientific and engineering communities from around the world have had access to for the past 45+ years and they have never come forward with anything that could be interpreted as proof that the landing was hoaxed. Here is some of it: -> There's the live TV coverage that would have to somehow convincingly fake 1/6th G movement in a vacuum, Google "Irrefutable Proof for Moon Landing - Lunar Gravity" and explain how experts in the field of kinematics for 45+ years have never come forward with proof that the astronauts are not in an environment that they say they are. There's also the fact that any attempts to do filmed mock-ups of the eva's on Earth would have to be passed off as live TV broadcasts which would have to fool telecommunications experts around the world. Google "Moon Hoax Not" and "For Jarrah" to get a better understanding of how much would be involved to pull that off and how the filming technology back then was simply incapable of such a thing. -> There's all the moon rock and core samples that would have to somehow be able to pass scrutiny with geologists who can readily spot whether it's something that has passed through our atmosphere or not. Google "How do we know that rock came from the moon?" -> NASA has made these samples available to scientists from around the world and every year 500-1000 samples are sent out. Google: "NASA lunar sample request" -> There's the Apollo 16 UV telescope images that no astronomer in 45+ years has ever found fault with. Google "onebigmonkey apollo 16 UV telescope" -> Another thing that astronomers would be able to spot are pictures of the Earth that don't match what they should look like. Google "Apollo 11 Earthrise - How One Photo Proves it was Real" for an example. -> Another one to google is "Apollo 11: Fingerprints in Deep Space" that shows obvious handheld TV footage from the Apollo 11 CM looking at Earth from far enough away that they are clearly beyond the VAB's. -> Then there are the LOR images. Lots of hoax believer nonsense about them being faked but the transmittal data for them can be downloaded by anybody with a computer and so far, nobody has proven anything about them being faked. You can guarantee a smoking gun like that would have been heavily scrutinized by people with the required computer science expertise to determine its authenticity. -> Here's something else you might not know. Apollo 12 landed close enough to Surveyor 3 that Conrad & Bean were able to do an Eva to it and removed the camera and sampler scoop from it to be returned back to Earth. They wanted to see what the harmful conditions of the moon had done to those parts after 2.5 years: Google "Analysis of Surveyor 3 Material ad photographs returned by Apollo 12" -> 5 plutonium-238 powered ALSEP's were left behind that transmitted data from the experiments back to Earth right up till 1977. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, they were shut down but they did send back enough information that storage of it became a real problem as detailed in this article: Google "the-long-road-to-alsep-data-recovery" -> Starting with Apollo 13, they purposely directed the spent S-IVB's to crash into the moon so that the Apollo 12 seismograph could record the seismic waves generated to help determine the moon's crustal structure and makeup. Of course, as each successful mission added another ALSEP, they were able to expand on the info derived from these man-made impacts. They also did the same with the lunar module ascent stages. The Apollo 16 LM ascent stage data isn't shown because of difficulties during the de-orbit phase. They were able to derive a lot of info from these artificial impacts. Google "The Description of Apollo Seismic Experiments darts" -> Another great site to check out has some pretty thorough crater and boulder analyzing to prove the landings happened. You can check out all six of the landings this way: Google "onebigmonkey apollo sights landing" -> There's also the 93-page pdf titled: "NASA’s Recommendations to Space-Faring Entities: How to Protect and Preserve the Historic and Scientific Value of U.S. Government Lunar Artifacts". There is lots of nonsense from hoax believers that the USA is trying to make the Apollo sites inaccessible which is ridiculous seeing as these are only recommendations designed to limit harmful effects of spacecraft landing too close or the altitude of hopper type craft flying at too low of an altitude. The fact is, the USA has no issue at all with visits to the sites by manned or unmanned means. They do request the Apollo 11 and 17 sites are accorded with the proper respect due to the obvious historic value. Also, there is an Appendix B in the pdf that gives a lot of recommendations from NASA as to what type of investigations at the Apollo sites would be most beneficial for scientific purposes. As I said, irrefutable proof that has withstood scrutiny by the relevant experts from around the world in all the specialties involved for 45+ years which in my book proves beyond a doubt that the landings happened just the way they were documented 45+ years ago and which easily trumps people like you with your "it's fake because I say so" nonsense.
To Stanley Meyer: go to amazon.com and get W. David Woods' book, "How Apollo Flew to the Moon." As you read this book, you'll realize only geniuses were allowed to work on Apollo. Unbelievably complex; then you need to catch the next landing to one of the Apollo sites, and you will be ashamed of your doubts.
Doubters are mentally ill. Space X will probably televise the entire mission to Apollo 17 landing site via live TV. The doubters will still yell "hoax." Kind of scary to be that dumb.
Thank God Trump is President for this 50th Apollo 11 Anniversary! He has the right passion, patriotism and charisma needed to get America motivated to want to go back to space. 🇺🇸❤️
Did you notice that the outside boundary of the moon is just as bright as the moon’s center (at full moon)? Moon has uniform luminosity across its surface. Now, if you shine light from a light source onto any ball (and the light source is behind you), you will distinctly see the brightness decreasing as you look from the ball's center and toward the ball’s boundary. This is because most of the light reflecting from the ball’s center is toward you but very little light reflects toward you from the boundary. Yep, moonlight is not from a ball that’s reflecting light from the sun.
So you believe the moon is flat? Oh my this new generation of fucking idiots... Look at the phases of the moon. Hold up a ball and circle it around a light source. Only a sphere can make the phases like they have. Are you really this ignorant or are you a troll? Seriously? Open a science book and turn off the video games.
And don't forget the Gemini capsule, when 3 "astronauts" sitting next to each other, together in that tiny module, put on their space suit, depressurised the capsule, opened the hatch, and let White go out for a space walk. How fantastic. Even Disney would dream about it. And sadly, no scientist to even question that hoax.
You are correct, laser scanning was not required to see the calendar, but that wasn't implied. The notes and calendar were not seen until this digitization project was undertaken, because the Command Module was protected in plexi-glass for the last 40 years. They were photographed during the project. Laser scanning usually produces a point cloud which does not show the textures and color on the surface.
There is also a rule that no one is allowed to physically enter the spacecraft to prevent disturbing or damaging the interior. As such no one has been inside the crew compartment since NASA handed the spacecraft over to the Smithsonian. That being the case there was no way to see what was written on the walls until now. Notice that the boom that went inside was constructed and used so that it never touched anything inside.
Finally!!! Finally...a video that talks about the Apollo 11 Command Module and only mentions Mike Collins..and doesn't mention Armstrong and Aldrin. It is about time, seeing as we are talking about the Command Module. It was Collins' ship after all. He was the Command Module Pilot. Collins doesn't get the credit that he deserves.

Where did they take a dump?
Solid waste was collected in plastic bags that were taped to their rear ends. Then the bags were stored in the empty food lockers, where after all the poop originally had come from. Liquid waste was discharged into a funnel connected to the outside so the urine was dumped overboard.
Pretty amazing how well the heat shield held up...I've been up close to Apollo 10, and its heat shield is trashed
Apollo 10 came in at the highest speed ever for a manned craft...higher speed = higher reentry temps = more damage to the heat shield.
The heat sheild was made of ablative material, it was designed to burn away. A use only once solution, but it worked.
When the Module returned, it was temporarily stored in a hanger on Hickman AFB. I was 12 at the time.

How did the astrounots move from the mouel into the lander?
The docking port on the top.
At 3:31 you can see a tunnel in the bottom of the picture, that's where the lander connected.
Smithsonian is a remarkable institute, I was lucky I could visit the exhibition once in a lifetime in Washington 🥰
It wasn't designed to be pretty, it had one job, get them safely back through re-entry.

It's so small.How on Earth did 3 guys fit in there? It amazes me.
They also had the LM. You want to see something small? Strap on a Gemini capsule.
much more imporessive is to look at the tiny gemini spacecraft and imagine two men spend 14 days inside it. Gemini 7
Where and how did they take a dump?
They just taped plastic bags to their rear ends and collected the solid waste that way.
Cool! If you don't mind I would like to see inside the Lunar lander if there's one laying around.
There are a couple of Apollo Lunar Modules on display. Obviously neither was even flown in Space, and you can only look inside, you wouldn't be allowed to enter one of them. But here's where they're located.
One is at The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. The other is at The Cradle of Aviation Museum, Mitchel Field, Long Island.
Wait inside the Apollo 11 model, how do you move around??
You dont
@@farel9476 no never mind, I figured out you have to click that earth thing and the arrows to change views.
You put on the hugs space suit with the huge head piece, then you can move around.
I am more inclined to ask about the batteries that powered everything including the rover, using 60s battery technology.
@@Pippy_Pappy Hi PP, hope that you are well. You wrote that "batteries ...powered everything". This is not correct. The main source of electrical power in the Apollo Command Module was from a set of three fuel cells housed in the Service Module. As for the Lunar Rover electrical power was provided by two 36-volt silver-zinc potassium hydroxide batteries developed by Eagle-Picher with a charge capacity of 121 A·h each giving a range of some 90 km). These were used to power the drive and steering motors and also a 36-volt utility outlet mounted on the front of the LRV to power the communications relay unit or the TV camera. These batteries were non-rechargeable and prohibitable expensive for general sale. Take care.

Awesome! I still have the daily news showing it.

They could make one better, but they could never make one cooler
I wish this were available in quest VR, perhaps on a platform like 'puzzling places" #puzzlingplaces
I hope you also do Gemini and Skylab!
Umm... Skylab burned up. So there's nothing to take measurements or photgraphs _of._
Gemini would be awesome... Skylab might be a problem
WOW - Respect, GREAT! I would fly with them again ... now!
amazing project and great detail still after clicking link was greatly disappointed. you cant see any numbers or text, all washed out, average graphics. good enough for video game and saying oh thats cool but no more :/ I understand most of us anyway dont understand those numbers and what they mean but i think it would have been cool to see anyway.
They are in process of doing it, you fucking stupid dumbfuck.

I never considered myself to be claustrophobic....but when I saw this and imagined being secured in my seat, with a huge suit on, with 3 other guys, and unable to open a window or a hatch....yeah, i might have a hard time with this.
Certainly, and the Apollo module was even big in comparison with the cramped Soyuz module, where also 3 double-folded cosmonauts are squeezed in ... Soyuz is still in use today.
This thing is saint.
Last of Us II anyone? :) ND actually collaborated with the Smithsonian on the design of that museum segment!
1:54 God bless AutoDesk ReCap
Absolutely Amazing!!!!
But guys this is a piece of scrape material, like looking inside an old cave !
But really some piece of evidence of what we are and are ready to go through just to shine.
so three guys flew a quarter million miles in an outhouse with the computing power of a calculator? shit, Ill go wit dat!
Yes they did
yes
It was indeed, quite amazing. Well worth reading up on the whole history of the program - look at how small the craft were in the Mercury, and Gemini program, too. Those were small...
Imagine staying in that tight ass space for a week pooping and peeing together. The technology confirms for me at least it wasn't possible. With no attitude control those guys would be like whipped cream. The command consuls couldn't have withstood the van Allen belts no way.. also something I never really paid attention to is the fact that there are only one set of doors. How are they able to control internal atmosphere. What do they let all the air out when the doors open. That's ridiculous I thought recycling oxygen or making use of it would be essential or at least practical for a number of reasons. Lastly have you ever tried staying seated for 3 days your legs would be like mashed potatoes
Felton Mitchell So much to cover. When weightless, they could float around. They did have 2 doors.
Your comment betrays an utter lack of research. Sad, but not surprising.
I meant to say there should have been an enter and outer compartment in the event the door malfunctions this was clearly a design flaw that was omitted. By not decompressing before returning there would be space dust everywhere and that could possibly get into your command controls destroying those 1960 controls.
Also they found 28 wads of Collin's gum and 4 boogers from Buzz stuck under the seats
I could crawl under the chairs. Awesome.
A3Kr0n That's what the astronauts did. And they folded the center seat out of the way
"...but because they are HOD." - Kennedy
If I said I have a recording of my grandfather describing building the bottom and windows, would you believe me? I do.
Allan Needell aged a whole lot since he refused that journalist from NYC to measure the hatch of the lunar module in "Was it Only A Paper Moon?" documentary. Appears he has loosened up since that time and allowed a whole team to measure and recreate the command module in a 3-D scan. Or maybe it's just the recreated lunar module he's cranky and protective about.
Maybe because this was a professional team that knew WTF they were doing, rather than an amateur with an attitude and something to prove? Just a theory!
You are right! That is him, I didnt recognize him.
You are a conspiracy troll, who does not even believe your own BS. Like all You Tube conspiracy trolls, you lie and lie and lie, for no reason other then to find an excuse to spam and harass. PS: I worked at JPL 1974-1986.
Why didnt he just get the dimensions online?

whats funny was that i just about did the same
This thing is not radioactive?
Why would it be radioactive? Oh you mean the passage through the van Allen belts? Wrong sort of radiation try looking up what the VAB are and how they bypassed them.
@@ianb9028 You have radioation in whole space.If earth don't have a magnetic field we will be dead.You have radioation also on moon!!!!Think.
No it is not radioactive. This module orbited the moon while the Lander transferred the two astronauts to the surface and back.
There are a couple of types of radiation. In space almost all radiation comes from charged particles produced by the sun. These are mostly electrons and protons. Some of these are held in the earth’s magentic fiels producing the Van Allen Belts. These do not make other materials radioactive.
Radioactive decay is a process that occurs in unstable atomic nuclei. The instability results in an emission of:
- alpha particles (2 protons and 2 meutron bound together). These can be blocked by a t shirt but cause damage to whatever they impacr
- beta particles which can be positive or negative depending on the parent material. Beta negative is produced when a neutron in an atoms nucleus transforms into an electron a proton and an antineutrino. Beta positive is when a proton transforms into a neutrino a positron and a neutron. Beta radiation can be stopped by a few millimetres of aluminium
- gamma radiation often follows the nuclear decay when the nucleus now left in an excited state sheds energy by emitting a gamma ray. Gamma radiation is the most penetrating and require several centimetres of lead to stop them.
Materials become radioactive when the nucleus becomes unstable. It occurs in high energy fusion processes in tje sun. We can producs it by lacing an object near a source emitting beta positive radiation and it absorbs enough neutrons to make the nucleus unstable.
Radioactive carbon can be produced in the atmosphere by the interaction between cosmic rays and atmospheric nitrogen.
The command module did not become radioactive during the moon mission
@@ianb9028 As l say radiation is a fake and space is very friendly.
Is your food from the microwave radioactive? Are you radioactive after an xray? No.
What about someone farting in such a confined space.
David Watts yup. That was a problem...
Frank Borman upchucked most of the way there in Apollo 8. Vomitus in zero g has a way of getting stuck in those nooks and crannies
Hi Abbas, maybe that had something to do with Frank turning down the offer to command the first manned lunar landing.
Apparently the Command Module stunk to high heaven, when they returned to earth. The astronauts had gotten used to the smell...
Had air filters in both the command and lunar modules. However they were used to absorb carbon dioxide. And since farts are composed of carbon monoxide. That might be somewhat of a problem for the air filter system on board Apollo.
Thanks
I want to know what it was like to take a dump on the way to the moon. After all you are shoulder to shoulder with two other guys. Must have been a hoot for the odd two to be right there. And to think no ventilation, and you can't open a window!!!! Must have been like going to the moon in an outhouse.....
Read that was the thing they hated the most. Basically had to do it into a plastic bag that sealed around their anus (hopefully) they nicknamed the ass-gasket. And with no gravity to facilitate separation when exiting from the body, the bag had built-in finger inserts (like fingers of a glove) for the astronaut to move it along into the bag. They then had to add a bactericide into the bag (to prevent ballooning) seal it, squish the contents for even distribution of the bactericide, roll it up, then store it to be brought back to earth. They were truly dedicated.
Because, if it isn't CGI, it isn't real.
Does this command module look CGI to you?
i love it!
fantástic!
Nice Autodesk commercial.
The command module is one of the most important & incredible machines ever created by mankind. This space capsule is comprised of thousands of moving parts, switches and gauges that required one human (not computers) to manually maneuver and pilot it in a new dark and cold place known as earth's outer orbit and beyond (moon), amazing for 1969!!!
Fast forward, only 50 years later & private company's such as SpaceX demonstrate the vast technological advances with their autopilot everything space vehicles. Then, they top that by making their vehicles re-useable everything with extra gas left over! LOL! truly AMAZING!!! Next 50 years... humans will be a multiplanetary race. To mankind & the wonders of space and beyond. If we humans survive outside of earth, it will be because of humans like Mr. Michael Collins & Mr. Elon Musk!
I don't even get it why is it so unbelievable that we went to the moon?
Because some people can't understand the science, and, in their minds, if _they_ can't understand something, then _nobody_ can.
It's funny the average dip shit who doesn't believe we went to the moon has no problem believing in Adam and Eve and the world being created in 6 days.
mostly russian trolls trying to get americans to distrust everything and anything
Steven M I remember Apollo11 like it was yesterday. My dad got me into the space program in about 1963 when I was 4! I was 10 on July 20th 1969. I can’t for the life of me understand how idiots think that it was fake! Is the Empire State building fake? Is the Hoover dam fake? Is the Golden Gate bridge fake? NO! Apollo 11was an incredible engineering achievement just like the the others.
Jerry Perry
One, ONE, reel of telemetric data was overwritten (not destroyed) from the Apollo 11 flight. Yet, somehow, that bit of misinformation is proof that we never went to the moon. And, it isn’t that NASA has forgotten how to get to the moon, it’s that most of that human experience and hands-on skill set that built the rockets and calculated the data has been lost as those craftsmen die and that knowledge is lost. It’s like how we’re not entirely sure how the pyramids were built. We know they were, we even have written records and the structures themselves, but we don’t have the minds of the architects.
Wasn't the Apollo 11 command module sunk in the sea? I mean it was the time when everyone was scared of some lunar bacteria or virus that would cause an epidemic....
No it was not sunk. The astronauts did have to go into quarantine for two weeks to be sure they didn't bring back any moon germs but no germs were ever found.
@@joevignolor4u949 That much I know about that quarantine, yet so far I heard of capsule being sunk in the ocean.
@@MIMALECKIPL You might be thinking of "Liberty Bell 7", which was Guss Grissom's Mercury capsule. It did sink and was lost in the ocean, however it has since been recovered. I've actually seen it. As far as the Apollo 11 command module "Columbia", it never sank. I've personally seen it as well.
@@joevignolor4u949 No that's not the thing. Liberty Bell 7 was an accident at recovery, and I mean Apollo 11 command module. EDIT: OK, I had the bit different info - now I learned that what was sunk was raft a with decontamination materials. OK, case solved.
Way too small
Apollo
LDUB baby!
So how the hell did this fit inside the moduel ? No way this is real there are so many holes in the storyb
How did what fit in the module?
Did what fit?
They didn’t know that was a calendar before they took these videos?
Why?
The video explains why. You obviously didn't watch it.
Has anyone been wondering how the astronauts were able to enter this module before they returned to Earth with so little room and impossibilities if you were to visualize and imagine and measure each scenario, and consider the room required for parachutes and mechanism to deploy the parachutes and heat shield... There is not enough room for anything, but when you want to believe in something, all impossibilities disappear. As Mark Twain said, "it is easier to fool people than convince them that they've been fooled."
Why? Because you say so? Saying it is one thing, let's see you prove it. Good luck with that. As for this moon hoax nonsense, hoax believers have been bringing forth supposed evidence of faked moon landings for years now and every single bit of it has been debunked. Most of it with very little effort because most hoax believers have little knowledge about the topics involved such as radiation, thermodynamics and aerospace engineering. Something doesn't look right to them so instead of actually doing research about it. Meanwhile, there is lots of irrefutable proof that the scientific and engineering communities from around the world have had access to for the past 45+ years and they have never come forward with anything that could be interpreted as proof that the landing was hoaxed. Here is some of it:
-> There's the live TV coverage that would have to somehow convincingly fake 1/6th G movement in a vacuum, Google "Irrefutable Proof for Moon Landing - Lunar Gravity" and explain how experts in the field of kinematics for 45+ years have never come forward with proof that the astronauts are not in an environment that they say they are. There's also the fact that any attempts to do filmed mock-ups of the eva's on Earth would have to be passed off as live TV broadcasts which would have to fool telecommunications experts around the world. Google "Moon Hoax Not" and "For Jarrah" to get a better understanding of how much would be involved to pull that off and how the filming technology back then was simply incapable of such a thing.
-> There's all the moon rock and core samples that would have to somehow be able to pass scrutiny with geologists who can readily spot whether it's something that has passed through our atmosphere or not.
Google "How do we know that rock came from the moon?"
-> NASA has made these samples available to scientists from around the world and every year 500-1000 samples are sent out.
Google: "NASA lunar sample request"
-> There's the Apollo 16 UV telescope images that no astronomer in 45+ years has ever found fault with.
Google "onebigmonkey apollo 16 UV telescope"
-> Another thing that astronomers would be able to spot are pictures of the Earth that don't match what they should look like.
Google "Apollo 11 Earthrise - How One Photo Proves it was Real" for an example.
-> Another one to google is "Apollo 11: Fingerprints in Deep Space" that shows obvious handheld TV footage from the Apollo 11 CM looking at Earth from far enough away that they are clearly beyond the VAB's.
-> Then there are the LOR images. Lots of hoax believer nonsense about them being faked but the transmittal data for them can be downloaded by anybody with a computer and so far, nobody has proven anything about them being faked. You can guarantee a smoking gun like that would have been heavily scrutinized by people with the required computer science expertise to determine its authenticity.
-> Here's something else you might not know. Apollo 12 landed close enough to Surveyor 3 that Conrad & Bean were able to do an Eva to it and removed the camera and sampler scoop from it to be returned back to Earth. They wanted to see what the harmful conditions of the moon had done to those parts after 2.5 years:
Google "Analysis of Surveyor 3 Material ad photographs returned by Apollo 12"
-> 5 plutonium-238 powered ALSEP's were left behind that transmitted data from the experiments back to Earth right up till 1977. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, they were shut down but they did send back enough information that storage of it became a real problem as detailed in this article:
Google "the-long-road-to-alsep-data-recovery"
-> Starting with Apollo 13, they purposely directed the spent S-IVB's to crash into the moon so that the Apollo 12 seismograph could record the seismic waves generated to help determine the moon's crustal structure and makeup. Of course, as each successful mission added another ALSEP, they were able to expand on the info derived from these man-made impacts. They also did the same with the lunar module ascent stages. The Apollo 16 LM ascent stage data isn't shown because of difficulties during the de-orbit phase. They were able to derive a lot of info from these artificial impacts.
Google "The Description of Apollo Seismic Experiments darts"
-> Another great site to check out has some pretty thorough crater and boulder analyzing to prove the landings happened. You can check out all six of the landings this way:
Google "onebigmonkey apollo sights landing"
-> There's also the 93-page pdf titled:
"NASA’s Recommendations to Space-Faring Entities: How to Protect and Preserve the Historic and Scientific Value of U.S. Government Lunar Artifacts".
There is lots of nonsense from hoax believers that the USA is trying to make the Apollo sites inaccessible which is ridiculous seeing as these are only recommendations designed to limit harmful effects of spacecraft landing too close or the altitude of hopper type craft flying at too low of an altitude. The fact is, the USA has no issue at all with visits to the sites by manned or unmanned means. They do request the Apollo 11 and 17 sites are accorded with the proper respect due to the obvious historic value. Also, there is an Appendix B in the pdf that gives a lot of recommendations from NASA as to what type of investigations at the Apollo sites would be most beneficial for scientific purposes.
As I said, irrefutable proof that has withstood scrutiny by the relevant experts from around the world in all the specialties involved for 45+ years which in my book proves beyond a doubt that the landings happened just the way they were documented 45+ years ago and which easily trumps people like you with your "it's fake because I say so" nonsense.
To Stanley Meyer: go to amazon.com and get W. David Woods' book, "How Apollo Flew to the Moon." As you read this book, you'll realize only geniuses were allowed to work on Apollo. Unbelievably complex; then you need to catch the next landing to one of the Apollo sites, and you will be ashamed of your doubts.
Space X is sending a rover manufactured by Audi to Apollo 17 landing site next year.
Doubters are mentally ill. Space X will probably televise the entire mission to Apollo 17 landing site via live TV. The doubters will still yell "hoax." Kind of scary to be that dumb.
Stanley Meyer Not enough room for everything? Why do you say that?
Quran: "says if only they knew"
Thank God Trump is President for this 50th Apollo 11 Anniversary! He has the right passion, patriotism and charisma needed to get America motivated to want to go back to space. 🇺🇸❤️
Wow, is alitweird gonna look foolish om Jan. 6, 2021 and afterward!
This didnt age well at all
Did you notice that the outside boundary of the moon is just as bright as the moon’s center (at full moon)?
Moon has uniform luminosity across its surface. Now, if you shine light from a light source onto any ball (and the light source is behind you), you will distinctly see the brightness decreasing as you look from the ball's center and toward the ball’s boundary.
This is because most of the light reflecting from the ball’s center is toward you but very little light reflects toward you from the boundary.
Yep, moonlight is not from a ball that’s reflecting light from the sun.
So you believe the moon is flat? Oh my this new generation of fucking idiots... Look at the phases of the moon. Hold up a ball and circle it around a light source. Only a sphere can make the phases like they have. Are you really this ignorant or are you a troll? Seriously? Open a science book and turn off the video games.
That's because the sun isn't right next to the moon. Scale it properly and place that flashlight a few miles away. The ball will be lit evenly.
And don't forget the Gemini capsule, when 3 "astronauts" sitting next to each other, together in that tiny module, put on their space suit, depressurised the capsule, opened the hatch, and let White go out for a space walk.
How fantastic. Even Disney would dream about it.
And sadly, no scientist to even question that hoax.
They wore their suits the entire time. They just put their helmets on.
Helmuts? I know you meant helmets, but I just had an image of miniture Germans sitting on the astronauts heads :-)
gemini was always with two astronauts only.
@@adventureairinc7355 Indeed. Pascal's math is as bad as his history.
You dumb#ss
Mike Colling is time to finish your soda and get in to the capsule. We are simulating the rescue from the sea.
Really? You couldn't see the notes they wrote or the obvious calendar without the power of 3D scanning technology? Give me a break.
You are correct, laser scanning was not required to see the calendar, but that wasn't implied. The notes and calendar were not seen until this digitization project was undertaken, because the Command Module was protected in plexi-glass for the last 40 years. They were photographed during the project. Laser scanning usually produces a point cloud which does not show the textures and color on the surface.
There is also a rule that no one is allowed to physically enter the spacecraft to prevent disturbing or damaging the interior. As such no one has been inside the crew compartment since NASA handed the spacecraft over to the Smithsonian. That being the case there was no way to see what was written on the walls until now. Notice that the boom that went inside was constructed and used so that it never touched anything inside.

Pretty disrespectful of Neil, Buzz & Mike to graffitti a multimillion dollar govt. spacecraft!
Why, M of T? Were you planning to use the spacecraft later?
