@@jthutch81 Oh heavens no. I don't think many (if any) aspects of the X-15 program were classified. Not like the X-1 that got classified top secret after it broke Mach 1. The X-15 and its records were newsworthy items - including a special article in National Geographic.
Folks, this exactly how this was watched on television by hundreds of millions of people, and this little boy. All three networks broadcast this and every Apollo flight.

Apollo 4's mission was to test the three stages of the Saturn 5. A secondary objective was to test the Command and Service Modules in an extended orbit, and to test the Command Module during a re-entry at the same speed as for re-entry from a lunar mission. The third stage fired twice, as it would on a lunar mission. To have continued by sending the CSM all the way to the moon would have been a test of the CSM, unnecessary for testing the Saturn 5, involving a mission of 5-6 days, instead of the 8 hours and 37 minutes of actual flight time of Apollo 4. At this stage, no Apollo lunar mission was planned until the third manned flight.

That’s not an LM. That’s a simulator for safely training the astronauts in landning. As You can see, it even has a ”bubble” from a Bell 47 helicopter as ”cabin”. Willfull ignorance on your part.
Eric Kaminski And No, the Lunar Module couldn’t fly on it’s own on Earth, since it was built to work in vacuum and 1/6 gravity. You seem to think that they just built the stuff , put astronauts in it and sent it to Moon. In reality, they had to test and train for every moment. You really need to study the Apollo program before coming here to complain.

It takes money, political will, and public support. All three existed in abundance in the 60s...mostly due to fears of the USSR taking the high ground in space (which they had for several years). Once Apollo 11 returned, tho, public support waned -- after all, why spend the money to go back? We beat the Russians! (Never mind the missed scientific opportunities). Plus the war in Vietnam was still in full swing and the difficulties of the Civil Rights era turned people's attentions away from the space program. Political leader had already cut the budget for future landings...remember that Harrison Schmitt was supposed to land on Apollo 18, but Apollos 18-20 were canceled, so he eventually got on 17. Plus the money. You always hear the GOP of today bitch about how much money NASA spends, but in reality, their current budget is MAYBE 2% of the overall....hardly a drain on the country. Without the fear factor of the Russian space program like 60 years ago, I doubt we'd see the public support for an Apollo-like budget today. The tech exists...it's the public will to spend the money that doesn't.

Glynn Lunney is clear as day as well. Two giants of the MOCR.
One minor correction, the LM descent engine was not the first throttleable rocket engine. That honor belongs to the XLR-99 engine in the X-15.
I was about to comment the same thing, then wondered was the X15 program top secret when this was filmed?

Anyone know why the pad support umbilical design changed for later launches?
I'm curious why NASA launched so early in the morning in November? It was still a little dark.
Did they already have life support systems, inside of the command module for this flight?
They probably utilised boiler plates.
Apollo 4 used a Block 1 Command Module, which would have been fitted with an environment control system

Very jolly music.
There were camera's inside the stages to record the separation - how did they get the film ?

The cameras would fall and parachute to the ocean. They recovery teams would find the camera capsules with a radio signal.

Why did it only go to 11,000 miles altitude, with also a service module burn?
The 3rd stage can take it all the way to the moon.
The module atop apollo 4 was a test module, and it was propelled to that altotude to test systems, and re entry for the real thing
Think of it as a test flight
