My father who is a airline pilot James Savage, had met Neil Armstrong when he flew him to I think Florida, months before his death in surgery. He will never forget
My dad met Martin A. Armstrong of Princeton Economics and likewise will never forget him either. I'm feelin ya, babe!
Not sure which is the bigger Fraudster.
@@yomommaahotoo264 My dad had really strong arms, and I’ll never forget him.
my father was an airplane
I have a daddy too!
It's a lie.
They landed on December 11, 1973, my 9th birthday. I still remember it like it was yesterday, my father took me out in the front yard and we both looked up at the moon knowing there were 2 men on it, still gives me chills. R.I.P. Commander Eugene Cernan
TheJer1963 in 1969 As a 5 year old In England I watched Armstrong and Aldrin on a tiny black and white TV next evening my Dad and I looked at the moon and he told me 1 day you could be there son'. Sadly he was wrong but I still remember how much I admired all those who went to space, I still do
This right here is the perfect example that regardless of the proof presented, people who have nostalgic memories surrounding the "moon landings" will never accept the possibility, and the all-in-all likelihood, that it was staged.
lmao, stop you literally were fooled.. don't remember a false moment in time
neil armstrong himself admitted they never landed it was faked
Christ, the whole _me and my father_ shtick is getting really old. But here's one for you; I remember asking my father how far you could throw a rock on the moon and he said something about 6 times further than on earth. But unfortunately NASA were more concerned with spending a million dollars on a space pen rather than using 2 dollar boxes of pencils and spending the rest on... picking up a rock. So guess what, there's no film of any rock throwing on any Apollo mission. Because it was apparently too expensive to pick up a rock, or _congress and the public had lost interest_ in seeing 1200 yard rock throws.
Yeah, or maybe it's because in 1969, faking such a trajectory on a sound stage with wires and cranes would not have been in any way convincing. Don't even talk to me about that proven fakery with the bloody golf club.
Ultimately the whole thing was just a very evil con designed to steal your fathers tax dollars and give them to the shareholders of companies like Exide and Westinghouse.
I was 10 at the time of the first Moon landing. I could not have been born at a better time to enjoy and be inspired by the Apollo missions. Seems like yesterday.
I was also too young during the moon landings to have had any part of them. But, as for "could not have been born at a better time for Apollo" ... well, my asperations would have been a bit different than yours. I'd have wished to have been born at a time to BE one of them, not just "be inspired" by them.
I was 9 at the time of Apollo 11 and completely captivated by the space program. From Mercury to Apollo, all these men were my heroes.
@@rockethead7 Thank you for your input.
In July '69, I remember going into my backyard - I was 8 - looking up and the Moon and saying to myself with wonder, "there are _people_ up there."
I also remember watching Apollo 15 rover footage and by then being kinda bored by the whole Moon thing. It seemed really slow and dull - nothing exciting was likely to happen.
However I was obsessed with Major Matt Mason - an astronaut doll that was like a cross between a Gumby & Barbie, with a very cool helmet. My favourite toy when I was a kid, hands down.

The tragedy of this program is how the lack of interest from the American public ended it. "Keeping up with the Kardasians" has held the public's interest longer than humans studying the moon.
It's a sad commentary on human curiosity.
But if there was nothing new coming from the flights, it is perfectly understandable. Don't forget how insanely expensive it is to send such large manned spacecraft .... to the moon! In "My Opinion".... "Public Interest" had nothing to do with cancelling the program, the US gov is not in the entertainment industry, but they are very much into national security. Most likely, the US gov needed that money to build more better nukes to stay ahead of the USSR of the day.
I agree with you 100%, Gary. I don't really understand the need for NASA at all anymore. However, we, human beings, have become so crushingly dull and stupid these days. The fact that a show called, "Keeping up with the Kardasians" remains on the air is a sad testament to the lack of curiosity in people.
The fact that MEN LANDING ON THE MOON held less interest to us than a group of women that are famous for nothing is depressing to me.
Lack of public interest WAS a factor. It gave the government an excuse to kill the project and move onto more efficient uses of tax dollars. You are correct. However, if the public held its fascination with the landings and the discoveries attained from that, the program would have lasted longer.
All you have to do is look at the current discussion over minimum wage to see government's willingness to pander to public interest. There is no such thing as a "living wage", yet politicians use that phrase constantly to win over their constituency. You could also look at the professional sports. Almost all professional teams have to be subsidized by the local government to keep afloat. But the public LOVES their team so they pay the tribute.
Official line is money. There wasn't much point after 17, and the 1966 NASA budget was $40 Billion in today's $$. Double the current budget.
@@Ganderco Well said old chap....
No Bozos - NASA never stopped dude, they just stopped doing the outrageously expensive manned exploration. Do you have any clue what we have done in just the past few years or what is already on the slate to come? To be blunt, manned missions are now rather stupid from a science perspective as they are many many times more expensive than unmanned probes. You would know all of this but I think you must have a "lack of interest" because NASA is no longer sexy prime time television. The science should be what excites you and Apollo was never really about the science it was about the race. Races are exciting until someone wins and no one wants to just watch victory laps. The science, however, has never been more exciting, it's just a bit too hard to spoon feed it out like sports.
Do I think NASA needs more funding and that people should care more about what it is doing? Absolutely! Do I think we should spend eight trillion dollars for some astronaut selfies on Mars? Absolutely not! Not at this point, anway. We could learn so much more from the two hundred unmanned probes we could send all over the solar system for the same investment.
Don't love NASA for what they did. Love NASA for what they are doing. Look into it, I guarantee you that it is much more than you think.
This is the most incredible program I've ever watched... How this is not more recognized completely blows my mind...and its funny that the scientific aspects of the mission get dwarfed by the possibility of world peace that was in the minds of these incredible astronauts... I was eight weeks old when this mission happened, and all these years later,I can't believe that this program was scrapped after this mind-blowing mission...God bless those astronauts and everyone at NASA...had this program continued, I think it would be a much better world to live in today...
Yep, I was 2 years old when this mission happened.
I remember this very well, was in grade school and we got "the day off from school" to watch this at home and then write a report on it. These were good times in our world during that era. Sorry to say, we have went so far downhill since this time. I really miss this era of time, it was so positive and moving forward for the whole world to see...🤔
@@thisisme3238 interestingly, my generation all gathered around to see the world trade center get demolished during my grade school days. Some things never changed ..whether it being fed with awe inspiring moon landing or complete destruction of our countries major landmark. Similar in tactic, yet such complete different message
@@justinhur9468 nope, not even vaguely similar.
Because only dumb sheep believe in Moon landings
I was there as a 6 yr old w my family watching the launch live. It was late at night I remember mom waking me up to see the blast off. My first ever memory was Apollo 11 landing on the moon. Those were unique times for me. God bless these men and their families for they risked everything to make the impossible possible.
Wonderful days & such excitement for a child. These deniers have no idea what they missed
How gullible you lot still are
@@leecattell6548 If you study this subject and understand the science, historical perspective and the equipment and procedures used you will come to the conclusion, unless you are wilfully stupid, that limited spaceflight was perfectly possible in the late 1960’s and that the United States did in fact put men on the Moon.

Nice to hear Jack Schmitt, I met him 10-15 years ago.
nice!
I met him too in my dreams 🤣
An excellent production! I learned a great deal from this program!
I work at a retirement home in Scottsdale Arizona and Jan Evans the wife of Ronald Evans lives there and I speak with her often about her husband and the space race and all the things she experienced during this this time and It is truly an amazing to hear her side of the story and she has incredible pictures of from the mission and of her and many of the other astronauts and their families and it's truly an honor to speak with someone who was so close to all this, although Ronald passed away years ago, Mrs Evans is very kind I really enjoy hearing her side of everything even though she was only the wife of an astronaut it's so interesting to hear she handled it and how crazy that time was, 50 reporters at her house every day during the mission, this mission was so detailed and science oriented and such great footage, Mrs Evans doesn't usually talk about the missions and many people at my work dont even know her husband went to the moon, but i always let her know my generation will never forget how amazing this was and her husband was a hero, this was truly incredible
That's awesome
I didn't realize he was gone. What a loss. Tell her thank you, please.
Her husband didn't go to the moon. She was IN on the LIE and she will be judged for the deception.

Duct tape on the moon! Absolutely fixes everything...
Bureaucracy, and even money itself, don't fix *anything* in space, but duct tape might be useful from time to time.
So, which is the more significant invention? :)
don't forget their tinfoil... NASA loves their tinfoil... 🙄😆
Very credible!
Looking at the LEM close up, I saw lots of duct tape and cardboard, looked like them military boys had some fun constructing it for the photo shoots, didn't see any blast crater and no evidence of the LEM stopping with any horizontal speed, the round feet covered with mylar looked like carefully placed there by crane, LEM opening of the hatch looked like too small for Neil or Buzz able to fit through, apparently the design crew didn't think they should make it bigger in case people are going to notice that with spacesuit inflated and backpack installed, the astronaut would be too thick to fit, I'm just telling it as it is, honestly, because i am a Christian.
@@stanleymeyer9936 I can see that you share the same doubts as myself.
This is a fantastic documentary.
I wish I had words to describe this documentary and this mission. It is just pure science. Pure human exploration and discovery. They did a great job with the simple presentation and soft music here.
I have always thought the worst thing this country has ever became apathetic about is our space exploration. We should never have abandoned the Apollo missions when they did, and what bigger boost to our technology would have come from more missions. The fact that NASA has limped along since then simply playing about in near Earth orbit has not really gotten us very far. If JFK was alive today he would be shaking his head sadly at the fact that we had not yet at least orbited Mars and Venus and that our space technology has not had the national support it needed to truly thrive.
Pam Duncan unmanned probes already beyond our solar system, mars got various rovers with Huge footage, with all the current activity in planning colonizing mars by late 2020's...But sadly a lot of ignorance from the public.
While that is true. manned flights stayed in near earth orbit. I know they were 'learning' from that but much of what they learned actually was thing that would benefit Earth not manned flight elsewhere. I am not discounting the rovers and the unmanned satellites but back in the days of the Apollo program while they were sending unmanned craft as part of what lead up somewhere to manned flight the only step away we have mode from eath is in the basic protection of the Earth in basic close add orbit and mots of what they have done on those flights has been to confirm other things they already had proven. If NASA had the support now ad it did in spirit of the days of the first Lunar Landing, we would have already sent modules to Mars so they were there for when the first manned flights arrived. If we still had the momentum and support and belief that we should look off out planet for some answers what we would be doing in space now would be more than traveling up there to do demo's of what space living i all about and what its like living on the ISS, which we really discovered after 2 of the flights to the station and some experiments. If we still have the government backing and the support by the government that we had in the late '60's and early 70's we would have a manned station on Mars. Humans are fickle, so its not are to understand that unless your doing something radically different than what has been seen before its hard to get them to even to pretend thy are interesting. If we still had the financial incentives and the political support we would be on mars with a manned mission by now. I am all for working out the kicks and issues that will be occur with long time confines in a ship heading across space to Mars but they have had all that info for a long time and I Don't see new stuff that would apply to a manned flight to mars even being experimented on now. What I do see is a space agency that is now relying on the country we once were in competition with for a manned flight to moon as having the only real vehicle that get into space and we are nowhere nearer the mars then where we were in after Apollo 17 and that was where we were supposed to turn our eyes too. I am not a conspiracy theorist but from time to time i wonder about such a radical change in what NASA saw as the plan for the agency after Apollo ended which was a stead march to mars was literally cancelled for the space stations near earth orbit tests almost like maybe we were contacted and warned about yet exploring our galaxy.
Fair questions, but I don't think the situations surrounding the answers are that simple. Sadly, I believe the thing that advances technology more than space or anything is military tech.
I agree. I'm now near 75. I was an aerospace welder back in the 60's. I worked on the Luna landing gear and welded lots of Bellows for the space program from 1966 through 1988. We didn't build the Saturn 5 rocket to make a fake movie
@Pam Duncan - Well said. I agree with you. The Apollo missions should start up again.
With the interest & understanding of science, being much more now.
Plus, our ability to share information via the Internet.
We have to start dreaming again! But as a whole planet, not just one country. 🤗🍁
Sadly, these comments show the repercussions of moving out of that incredible era by forgetting it and the incredible drive towards innovation and dreams. Stunning, in a very unsettling way.

Apollo 17 looked like a fun crew to work with! Much respect to them. And I hope we can go back soon to explore more.
haha...funny is right
I wish there would be published simple information, documents or books detailing all the test or experiments conducted in every space explorations. It would be great lessons learnt or discovery to the public learning what sciences or new sciences was discovered from each explorations. I think we have had great detailing of projects and humans morale, heroism and perseverance learning from all the explorations but that eventually bores the public. I also think that such new scientific discoveries and its benefits shared with society would back then keep the interest going. Lacking of those simply makes the public perceived the projects as just “Going to the moon and coming back”.
"documents or books detailing all the test or experiments conducted in every space explorations"

6:05 Glad to hear old Asmongold's impressions on WoW's future
Tell the world we found oil up there. Then see how fast we return.
Like Elon musk said It's so fake it's real 😂
How did they endure the heat of the sun, camera without any heat protection, camera film totally ordinary Kodak film that would’ve melted in 120’F and no heat protection for astronauts that could’ve possibly worked, how did they endure the heat if their spacesuits didn’t have a functional cooling system? it couldn’t cool off the heat by just fanning off the air around. It was impossible to cool off without refrigerant or ability to exhaust out the hot air after sucking in cooler air. You’re ur laptop computer can’t cool off the internals if you stick it inside of a plastic bag even if the fan is working, especially if you put it on the dashboard of a hot car in the sunny day of an Arizona mid summer afternoon. That’s how hot it would’ve been inside of the Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit. There are dozens and dozens of other major mistakes made in the design of the Apollo hoax moon-landings.
The lunar module’s 32-inch hatch wasn’t designed to accommodate the bulk of an inflated spacesuit with backpack, they couldn’t possibly be able to come out of the lunar module. That’s why at the Smithsonian Museum, the 3-D printed Neil Armstrong in a spacesuit (still not inflated) is without the backpack life support system, because then it would be too obvious that he couldn’t have possibly been able to exit the lunar module.
Sending analog tv signal to Earth from a tiny transmitter such as that on the lunar rover, powered by two tiny batteries that powered the lunar rover’s motors, couldn’t be done. Even if you dismiss the harshness of the Van Allen Belts which is so electromagnetically powerful that it traps gamma and x-ray, the weak radio signal would not have a chance of survival, when here in Earth we can’t transmit analog tv further than 60 miles, even with the megawatt powerful transmitters that tv stations had prior to the digital tv invention. Here in Earth we get interference if we turn on the vacuum cleaner, but the Van Allen Belts, not only they didn’t cause any interference or distortion of the analog color,tv signal (engineers out there know what I’m talking about), but the signal arrived faster than the speed of light. Just listen to the audio and measure the delay (or lack there of) and again, the engineers out there know, but patriotism and fear of admission of guilt, is like expecting St. Peter at the heavens gate, but you see it’s a Buddhist and they tell you you’re not allowed because you chose the wrong religion.
Look how huge these actor astronauts are, and ask yourselves, is a 32-inch hatch enough? Who helped the geared up if they both had gloves on? Who installed the diaper? Who installed the piss reservoir which was situated above the groin? Look at how fast they drove the rover without any worry a wheel might come off. The moon covered with meteorite hard and big rocks covered by the fine powder Neil Armstrong described, all it takes is one volleyball size rock break off one of the wheels. Did they have any worry? No, because they were on a freshly plowed field, as described in Apollo 16 rover joy ride. Look at the hills in the background, clearly evidence of water erosion and wind.

i get really sad when i think i'll NEVER be able to go to the moon. Face it, it's not gonna happen. But watching these videos and hearing the astronauts reactions and emotions in real time while they experienced it is the closest I'm going to get. It's an amazing thing to experience nearly half a century later
And, there are only 4 left alive who have walked on the moon, only 1 of which was a commander who flew the lunar module and drove the rover. Nobody lives forever, and, if they don't keep Artemis on pace to put more people on the moon, we could be in a position where we'd have to say that there's nobody alive who walked on the moon.

@@rorywatson5176 damn the stupidity is real here
The one thing that's always puzzled me about the Apollo footage, is no matter where the astronauts are on the moons surface (in any of the 5 successful missions) the horizon never appears to be much further than around 20 or 30 yards away - and often a lot closer ?
The horizon is indeed closer than on earth, but a lot further out than 30 yards. The reason the horizon appears so close is because the moon is only 1/6 the size of earth
@@theswagman1263 So the horizon should appear roughly a mile away (taking into account the moons smaller size) Why then does it often look to be no more than a few football pitch lengths away at best ? Also, I assume they would have used relatively wide angle lenses to video it - and these should have accentuated the distance effect, making the horizon seem further than it really is, instead of closer - another anomaly.
@@nosherz it's a matter of the moon's surface looking odd, and overexposed. You can see hills miles off in the background. Your personal view on the photos doesn't determine their integrity.

Wassuuuuuuuup!? Good morning. Although your comments are cool by me, they are contradictory. The gov and nasa and any affiliates have easy access to whatever funds they would need. Degrasse Tyson made the comment that going to the moon would be way cheaper than actually faking it. I disagree, at 7 years old in 1969, I watched the whole debacle on our very little b & w t.v.. Sorry, didn't happen, so the idea of going to Mars and colonizing it inside this somewhat rational mind, the premise does not even compute. I can't get past not going to the moon let alone heading to Mars. Of course I would conclude, what a second humongous waste of money and time. Could not all this wealth be better used elsewhere on this tiny and beautiful planet, to preserve it and help those in need? I have bored you, I know, thanks for the shout and have a great day.

Astronaut Don Pettit's comment about we destroyed that technology has been so taken out of context. When someone says something is destroyed, one would normally think that it was destroyed with malice and intend. Ripped apart or blown up. But it was not. The technology was starved out of existence. NASA till the mid-70s had always hoped that congress would give the funds to allow NASA to resurrect Apollo while most of the equipment, the engineers, the companies and infrastructure was all still
there.
A quick history. The Nixon government cut NASA’s budget to the point where the last 3 Apollo lunar missions were cancelled. The CSMs were used for Skylab one of the SaturnVs was used for Skylab and the other 2 became museum pieces. The shuttle was scaled way down and was
nothing like the shuttle NASA wanted. But NASA had all kinds of plans for further use of Apollo hardware for further lunar exploration and expansion to lunar base(s) shelved. Plans even called to be on Mars by 1981. All the documentation for the cancelled Apollos is still there and the planning for beyond Apollo 20, but plans for beyond Apollo 20 were all drawing board except Skylab 2 which the S4B for Skylab 2 was being converted, but that got cancelled and only 1 other CSM was left and that was used for the Apollo Soyuz in 1975.
As they prepared for the shuttle they were still hoping to get Apollo resurrected through the mid-70s. They were hoping so much that they only converted one of the LC-39 pads at first. Pad 39A was decommissioned in 1974 and converted for the shuttle. Pad B was somewhat maintained for Saturn V and hopeful resurrection of Apollo. But by 1977 it became final that congress would not give approval to get Apollo going again so Pad 39B was then converted for the shuttle. As time went on companies
that built Apollos systems, changed, went out of business, were taken over and all the documentation filed away. Not lost or destroyed as some claim. The people got older retired and now passing on.
When it comes right down to it the bottom line is NASA was not given the funds to go back. They are planning to go back now with Orion which is a scaled down version of Constellation that was cancelled in 2010. Orion has been budgeted such that NASA has to go at a snail’s pace. Sadly it takes money to go back and the congress was not willing to give the money. The plans all still exits and they are the basis for the building of Orion as was the original plan for Constellation . But it does not happen over night. But if funded enough since the start of Orion, they could have been back to the moon by now. They call it Apollo legacy. The launch system SLS is based on shuttle legacy and that is quite evident when one looks at SLS. he first Orion CSM and SLS are at KSC now being prepped and 3 more are under construction at the contractors.
Another lost technology from the same period. December 31, 1968 the first flight of the USSR’s TU-144 SST. March 2, 1969 the first flight of what became Airbus was the first flight if the SST Concord. These were giant a
leap for commercial air travel. Here we are 50 years later and there are no supersonic commercial jets. The last one was built in 1979 and the last
one flown in 2003. Nobody in the world can build or fly one unless they rebuild the technology.

It's so heartwarming to see the astronauts having so much fun. I'm scared of space, but boy would I do anything to go there.
I’m glad I’m not the only one whom is absolutely fascinated but petrified of space!
i love the idea of people jumping around and singing on the moon
you can do this in a studio, no risks
@@pasisovi but doing it on the moon was more fun
@@spongedog0013 Yeah.. I they had gone
It was an EVA protocol to talk and vocalize "chatter" as much as possible with no quiet or "dead air" as their space suit radios were set for Auto "VOX" (Voice Operated Transmit). With a 3-second radio delay between earth and moon during EVAs, it helped Houston's flight surgeons verify that the astronauts were always mentally healthy and not experiencing early signs of hypoxemia. As you can imagine, after a while the astronauts started running out of pertinent things to say, so they'd sing just to fill the dead air. Ron Evans transcript of his 65 minute lonesome EVA walk in space was almost nothing but just singing "do-do-dooo... do-do-dooo..." and saying: "Hot diggety dog!"
Very intense!
It showed each and every emotion to the depth
Remarkable achievement of mankind !!
One of the best documentaries I've watched on moon landings. Thanks!!
Watch the movie "First Man"...Armstrong's first landing on the moon. The movie's music theme in this part of the film with Armstrong taking over the landing is just chilling and yet he did not fail. All the astronauts were heroic. Incredible courage and determination of all that contributed.
First. Love the music. Especially for the landing.
Second: The best argument against deniers is not technical. It's the engineers and astronauts "performance". All these "nobody" pulling out an acting performance that no actors on earth, past or present, could ever dream of.
Even in stills like at 32:25 and the comments recorded years after.
Almost cried at the hammer throw.
12:53 was sampled and used on The Orb's adventures beyond the Ultraworld. As, I think, was a Yahoo! From the start of the video.
I remember that hill at the 26 minute mark. It's at the indiana dunes. I used to climb that hill all time.
Those guys were such fun. The best of all the moon missions
How beautiful will it be, if all nations united in coming up with a global space program rather than individual nations? This would be better since these projects are usually costly when working as an individual nation. Globalism shines in areas like this.
Yeah but sadly that’s joy the case most countries would want to have the most power and be greedy
We humans cannot work together, people will never unite , we will always being race, ethnicity and other stupid stuff in between
I wonder how good the world would've been if we were all united as a planet not countries and other stuff

Spectacular documentary---- last human visit to moon in December 1972. Appolo 17.
God bless you
To be a visitor from another solar system, viewing the Earth as I approach from a distance in space, having boundless enthusiasm for the anticipated meeting of intelligent life,to be sorely disappointed by the genetic cesspool that permeates the surface of Earth today, is sadly reality for any interstellar visitors. Perhaps it's time we get our priorities in proper place!!!
In the words of the Monty Python ' Galaxy Song ' , let's hope there's intelligent life somewhere in the universe , cos there's bugger all here on Earth! '
Why do we always assume potential visitors to this planet are better 'people' than ourselves? Technological superiority doesn't = better people.
Great doco. Well done to all who worked on the Apollo program.!!!
🚀🌕Outstanding DocuMoontary
Wow that’s amazing ❤
Apollo11 was the first to land on the moon. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. The astronauts also returned to Earth the first samples from another planetary body. Neil Armstrong said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Space is intriguing. When the space program started, it was always on prime time TV. When Apollo 13's mission had to be aborted, I remember it being so tense and all over the news to see if NASA and the Astronauts could work together to get them home alive. I will never forget watching it on TV. Wow!
too bad some idiots think its fake, apparently they say you were watching a reality TV show and not the moon landing
But they never saw any stars
@@al.k1619 This is actually a common feature of photographs from space, where the contrast between light and dark is extreme. The surface of the Moon reflects the strong sunlight and appears very bright in photographs. This brightness drowns out the relatively dim light from stars in the dark sky, akin to how car headlights can drown out the fainter light from nearby objects. The human eye can adjust and pick out the stars, but unless it’s set to the right settings, a camera struggles with the contrast. Astronauts on the International Space Station today regularly take photographs of the Earth that show a completely starless background, but it’s the same problem of contrasts at work.
...
What's the next question? Van Allen belts ?.....
@@tonyelsom6382 I'm so glad you dropped in about the Belts at the end I had someone bash on to me about those proving we never went to the moon ! Regarding the brightness of the moon it can look bright enough here on Earth on a good clear still night, and no doubt if you're standing in the middle of it all it would be a heck of a lot brighter.
@@xxCrimsonSpiritxx I don't think there were reality shows in that era...
The fish bowls on their heads stopped all radiation absorbtion going through the van allen belt.

Everyone is allowed to ask questions. Even about the moon landings.
@@charlieotten1367 there is no answer for the van allen belts, hence their resorting to ridicule. its safe to ignore it, just like they ignored the supposed radiation they were travelling through....
TERRAXX l Moron.
apollo you say? to d.c.
What music is playing during the landing?
I was just turned 19 in November 1972 i remember the last apollo landing on the moon’s i think now days some people we never been to the moon there were never born until 30ys later and they believe every thing on social media on their phones well i feel sorry for young people cause they think if it's on my phone it's got to be true.I'm glad Iam getting older now i do not want to see this country really go down hill like it already has.
WE NEED MORE OF THIS INSTEAD OF WARR ! PEACE AND LOVE AND MOST IMPORTANT !! KNOWLEDGE
I'm very curious as to why there have never been any moon missions since 1972! Very, very strange. Also, how could those Apollo astronauts survive passing through the Van Allen radiation belt? Oh well. . . . . . it was on television, so it must be true I guess.

Now the old chestnut the radiation of the van Allen belts. Can they be dangerous, yes. But there is a big but. Apollo and now Orion and Spacex and the Chinese and a few others have already taken care of the protection needed for the short term duration the craft will be in the belts. Show me someone that would argue with the person that the belts were named after. For Apollo passing through the belts was done very quickly, leaving and coming back to Earth about 24,000mph. For that short a stay Apollo had more then enough shielding. The only additional shielding was lead lined bags for the film mags. These are similar bags that became commercially available a few years later as the use of X-ray machines became more common at airports.
The moon hoax theory claim about the Van Allen belts being deadly is false.
February 15, 2001: Fox Network Special - Conspiracy Theory: Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?
"The recent Fox TV show, which I saw, is an ingenious and entertaining assemblage of nonsense. The claim that radiation
exposure during the Apollo missions would have been fatal to the astronauts is only one example of such nonsense."
-- Dr. James Van Allen
The moon hoax guys are literally arguing with the physicist James Van Allen, who the Van Allen belts are named for. How absurd is that?
Cost. No profit in a bunch of rocks and dust.

my question is why the temperature is not being told each time astronauts touch down on moon. adrelin took time in touching the soil of moon in july 1969, and thought the powder soil of moon might engulf him, was it the case like that.
It can't be an untold story if you've told it!

I went to a building that had 3 floors and an elevator. The ele-thingy said, "ding", and the ele-thingy-numby said "3", and the door opened. And there was a thingy that claimed it was the 3rd floor. But I knew better, because all evidence I uncovered informed me that it was the same floor that I got on at. Or at on. In the few seconds this ele-thingy-trippy took, some people obviously moo-ved all the stuff around to make me think I was on the 3rd floor. But I knew better, because I do my own thinking, and I knew better, because I check out the "fax" myself. Or maybe it facts.

Great, great video! This is something that younger generations should see, and try and find alternate ways of funding these missions, because humans are the one species that DOES NOT want to be extinct. We have more knowledge than any other life on Earth, and without a doubt I believe that eventually we shall get humans to Mars, and mabe further eventually. I took in every second of this upload, and was very, very taken by it. Thanks for sharing! And I think that when we do venture back to the moon, in humanity's quest to reach further into space. I vote that Apollo should be the given name. Apollo's return!
Humans are the only species that doesn’t want to be extinct?
Are you sure? Do you know what “life” means?
Damn! look at all those lightbulbs in the blast zone. Amazing. Theres a great slow motion video of the launch where the narrator goes into detail about just the paint needed to coat the hold down arms. How it was special and highly engineered for such a purpose. Now we cant even get into space...
yes, yes we can, SLS, SpaceX, Boeing, Orbital Blue.
Huh?
It was a great achievement of mankind is space science
I feel aggrieved when appolo missions ended too early.
I love space science.
Much thanks to NASA
I'd be willing to bet the hammer throw was just out of curiosity. After experiencing their own weightlessness, maybe the thought crossed their minds, "I wonder how far I can throw this hammer.....".
So who took the pictures of the capsule leaving the Moon they left some one up there? They attached a camera to the buggy you say? How did they get the photos from the camera? They beamed it up to the module, Star Trek stuff.
