Awesome. Thanks for preserving and posting this.
@@yomommaahotoo264 but history does...maybe try studying .....
I stood across the bay and watched Apollo 13 launch. The ground shook and the crackling roaring sound pounded against my body. That is a life experience I will never forget.
I saw STS135 launch but, damn, I would like to have seen a Saturn V fly!!!!
Unlike an experience had it not remained intact until half way to the moon...
Spectacular, Fran. Absolutely fantastic. Apollo still gives me goosebumps. Thank you so much for these priceless and beautiful memories.
I grew up in that era, but hadn’t seen this film until now. Thanks for your work Fran!
Thanks for posting this Fran. I can’t believe you actually own this film. To me it’s priceless. John Young to me was the real thing. Landing on, and exploring the moon was just one of many of his accomplishments. He went on to be the first to take the Shuttle Columbia to orbit. He contributed to the improvements made to the solid rocket boosters after the Challenger disaster. He retired in 2004 after 42 years at NASA at 74 years old. He was the real deal if you ask me.
Oh my Fran what a legacy of films.
I was six years old, and clearly remember watching Apollo 16's mission on tv.
Absolutely interesting!
Gives a few tips for problem solving too :)
Yeah, those MIT professors sure are smart! They make the 480,000 mile journey seem like a walk in the park.
Hi Fran. What a stunning piece of film! So glad you are preserving its contents and sharing. Thank you!
Takes me right back to the days. I miss them. Sure, things are happening but a lifetime has gone by.
I was 4 years old when Apollo 16 went to the moon. It is one of my earliest memories. I have been fascinated with space ever since. Thanks for sharing this with us Fran! It means more to me than you know!
This film 100% rules. It made for warm bath time watching as I await a Covid-19 test.
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this, Fran.
Thank you Fran all the good Memories of the time.
Nice surprise. Thanks Fran.
At the time I was a freshman in high school and turning into a hippie.. One of the things I had in common with my father ( who was like Archy bunker) was the Apollo project. Thanks Fran..
Absolutely brilliant. I'd seen excerpts but that's probably the first time I've seen that film from beginning to end.
0:30 … and I still have that Coleman burner!
GOOSEBUMPS !!
Wow, what a great video and what a great feat all those people delivered during and leading up to the Apollo program!
😍📺 🚀🌑
God.. to see that rocket lift off must have been incredible.
Not just seeing it, but feeling it too; there must have been a lot of bass. I wonder what a launch smelt of?
@@euansmith3699 Kerosene?
@@euansmith3699 it smelled like . . . . . . . Victory ✌️
@@bcre8v Okay, Lt. Col. Kilgore. Which brings to mind the strangeness of the 1960s. How plausible is it that we waged war in SE Asia while at the same time managing to pull off the 480,000 mile lunar mission with relative ease? Boggles the mind, much like the JFK and RFK assassinations still do.
Thank you Lt. Col. Kilgore. Viet Nam demonstrates how the U.S. can achieve great success on many fronts. The Apollo missions are just the icing on the cake. The Tonkin Gulf Incident really happened, didn't it? Maybe we can ask a real Martian some day. We're going there next. Is that why we need a Space Force?
That was awesome. I remember watching it on t.v. when I was 11yrs old. 😃🇺🇲 Thanks Fran!
This is an amazing film--possibly the most exciting outer-space adventure ever made. Thank you, Fran, for bringing it to light!!!!
The fact that I watched it on TV too makes it 100% authentic and believable. They don't call it the "boob tube" for nothing.
@@alexfunke214 More exciting than "Spaceballs?"
Ha" 72 ! what a vintage year for space travel.Music, and good living !!
I remember these like yesterday, Thanks Fran!
Thanks Fran
Very good. Remember it like it was yesterday!
I stood in the back yard as we lived in Titusville,Fla.My brother and I watched many a launch.My dad worked at Cape Kennedy for Lockheed in the 60's. What great memories.THX.
I remember my brother commenting on how when visiting the Air & Space Museum and looking at some of the equipment from this era, how crude some of it looked to him. He said, "You see simple exposed brackets with machining marks still on them." I guess too many science fiction movies created the expectation that everything would look like the interior of an airliner or something. Then again, I recently heard a comedian quip, "I went to the Air & Space Museum. There was nothing there."
Are you inferring we never went to the Moon and back 7 times?
@AB Yes, and the play on words is clever. I was more questioning the crudeness of the actual hardware that made the 480,000 mile journey. I can't quite get my mind around it is all, and in no way am I belittling your comment.
THANK YOU FRAN
Wow. Great wide shot of the launch that shows the relative slow speed of acceleration. Didn’t know about the gyroscope problems, and the telescope and seismic test. Thanks Fran.
I bet there is a lot we don't know about these launches...sadly.
Excellent Film .....really like the conversations between the folks in mission control.
Checked the timeline. Apparently this happened exactly at the same time, I was born:
"CSM checkout showed no rate feedback and SPS engine Position indicator gimbal showed yaw oscillations. Planned cirularization maneuver at 97:41:44 cancelled." 097:40 | 1972 20th April 19:34 GMT. ( Apollo 16 definitive guide, p. 499 )
This is some hardcore footage, sweet channel.
Thanks Fran, awesome film. We never got to see any prolonged footage from those missions.
UA-cam recomended me this channel and I am loving it. What a great video archive! Singing in now! Keep the great job.... Hi from Brazil!
Fantastic job, surprisingly good, thankyou.
This is fantastic... thank you for sharing it.
Sensationell!!!
I was surfing, looking for VU circuits using opamps... when I suddenly noticed a grin that would make an opossum blush, worn by none other than Mr. Gene Kranz. Personal Hero!👨🏼✈️It certainly takes “extra right stuff” not only to Direct the flight, but to also “Maestro Apollo” 🚀 with the Engineers, from a new office building on the Southside Houston circa Space Race!🇺🇸61🤘🏼🌚🤘🏼
A page in history was made that day and it showed through on the success and excitement. It's nice to see the unformal side of those astronauts and mission control people.
It is truly remarkable how much detail regarding issues in other flights are missing in most documentaries. Frankly, it is unreal. I would really love to know more of these details and if they even did troubleshooting on Apollo 17 even though there would not be an "18"
19:43 Wow. I'm pretty sure that's where the eponymous speech sample in Cosmic Gate's 2001 trance hit "Exploration Of Space" came from! That's so awesome!
I never realized how easy it was to go to the moon and back. I guess that accounts for how we did it 7 times between 1969 and 1972. Too bad the Space Shuttle never escaped low Earth orbit. Makes perfect sense to me.
Brilliant! Thank you Fran.
This squeezed a tear out of my eyes.
That is Awesome Fran, Thank you :)
Just wondering if there are films about the other Apollo mission's, it would be so wonderful to see them. I was 5 at the time of Apollo 11 and I can still vividly remember my dad waking me up in the middle of the night with the words wake up, there's men walking on the moon ! I have been hooked to everything about the moon ever since.
That was bangin'
TODAY IS 16/04/2022, 50-YEARS SINCE APOLLO-16 LAUNCHED FOR THE MOON. CONGRATULATIONS TO NASA, THE CREW & ALL THOSE WHO MADE THIS SIGNIFICANT EVENT IN HUMAN HISTORY HAPPEN!!.
Fascinating
You have a awesome film library..
Very nice!
Wonderful- brings back wonderful memories. Thanks so much Fran.
Thanks for video some parts i could nt tell what i was looking at
I was almost 4 when this event occurred...it's really nice to be able to see it...thank you Fran!
Thank you, Fran, so much for posting! I love all things Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. As a child of the late 60s, it made for some wonderful childhood memories, despite the bitter sadness of it all ending so soon.
Thanks Fran, this was great to watch.
this is great
Loved it.
Fantastic! I was only 10 days old when they landed on the moon!
Thanks so much for making that available, Fran. So much fun to see ‘goal oriented teamwork’ at literally the highest level. ;- )
Lots of technology. Lots of guts. Lots of team work. But I think even more luck.
@@IanCdnMerkaba I don't think skeptics are permitted to voice their opinions. Considered yourself reported.🤣
firing explosives on the moon, can't stop giggling, imagine watching the whole footage that was recorded un-edited, think i would die from laughter 😂😂😂
These were "steely eyed missilemen" for sure.
Thank you Fran. I haven't seen this since it happened. Really appreciate it.
Brilliant, Fran.
Fran another great video. It amazes me that with the limitations of 70s technology it still allowed seasoned ground control personnel to solve problems that could challenge such a series of problems. GREAT HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT!
God, I love this stuff!
I commend your faith.
Quite simply awesome
'I'm sure glad they got ol' Brer Rabbit, here, back in the briar patch where he belongs.'
I was at university at this time. I think it must have been this film a few friends and I had an opportunity to watch one evening in one of the lecture theatres. I'm not sure because I remember being impressed at the time by the much better resolution of the 16mm film compared with the video transmitted live from the moon. However, this now looks comparatively blurry to me. Perhaps I've just got used to seeing the high resolution video common on the Internet now.
Anyway, nice footage of the lunar landscape.
What a harrowing story. I know that these days we all know that only one landing failed and that resulted in no loss of life (Apollo 13) but in those days I'm sure everyone was biting their fingernails and sweating profusely. Especially when they were going around the back side of the Moon.
Even these days going to the Moon would be scary.
There’s an awful lot of lead-in on that 16mm. film reel there, but I like it! 😁
I miss the joy of converting 8mm. Super 8mm., 9.5mm., (from the 1922 French amateur film format system called “Pathé Baby”) and 16mm. home films for customers. Usually for whole days, even weeks on end during spring time. 😅
I have spent hundreds of hours hovering over both the Elmo TRANSVIDEO TRV-R8, TRV-S8, and TRV-16 Telecine iris control, plus the red and blue gain knobs. (Red + blue gain was not present on the TRV-R8.)
The home films of (admittedly more wealthy than average) families always fascinated me..
Watching material completely void of Faux News, QAnon, and Alex Jones type nonsense. Just ordinary (mostly Scandinavian) people doing ordinary family things, it was very satisfying work! 😌
Fantastic!
Thanks Fran!
Totally Awesome Fran, Thanks Soo much for this. :)
The word "awesome" is so overused that it's lost it's original power. " Awe-Struck" is a better description after viewing this film. As with so many, I only wish it was longer. Two of the people in the Apollo program I admire most, John Young and Gene Krantz, both seen actually enjoying themselves. Both have tremendous stories attached to their names, but to see them here is really special. Gene Krantz with a big smile on his face was worth seeing, right there.
The whole response to the secondary nav system failure, and producing (in very short order) a lunar orbital re-docking, with calculating & executing the "we just invented right now" docked burn was a triumph all by itself, scarcely remembered today. OK, something like it had probably had been tried in Sims, but still. . . There was confidence with the specialists, the Mission Control team, and the astronauts that they could do it - using skills and knowledge gained from previous flights. There was complete confidence that the spacecraft could not only re-position and re-dock without problems, and that the needed extra delta-v was available without compromising any other part of the missions.
If something like that had been suggested during the Apollo 12 mission, several sets of kittens might well have been born - in management, with some of the MER "back room" experts, possibly even with the Apollo crew. The experience and confidence simply wasn't there yet.
I think even we who are Apollophiles may have forgotten some details of the lunar surface features, such as a deep crater with walls having a 60 degree slope - no way they'd want to chance falling in, as much as they'd have liked to see all the way to the bottom. John Young's repair of the damaged rear fender on the Rover isn't even mentioned - but they just figured it out and did it.
The real-time radio traffic description of the "house rock" (I think Jim Lovell nicknamed it that), along with pictures from the camera on the Rover - Fantastic. Young and Duke in the "astro-mo-bile" sounding like they'd just taken an afternoon off from a NASCAR event - that leaves a big smile on my face, "The John and Charlie Show," as one wag described the pair's remarks. Some 'interesting' audio that didn't get into the "official" film record - "Hot Mike and Orange Juice." Perfect.
Why in the HELL did moronic thumb-suckers think that ending this program just when bugs large and small were ironed out, capabilities added and proven, and superbly prepared teams really showing what could be accomplished, was a good idea. What brain-dead drooling grifter could not see the benefits of what was possible with speed, with safety, with brains, eyes and hands on the spot? The things that after many years of work by hundreds of thousands of people, uncounted hours of personal initiative, unparalleled engineering innovation, and certainly the money already spent - to be just tossed aside? What could be accomplished with mission flexibility as well as human thought and flexibility - how everything was coming together on the "large canvas" - "wasteful luxury." Rarely in the field of human accomplishment was so much destroyed by such blinkered ignorance and blatant stupidity. We hear, in the real-time comms - the proof of this achievement really beginning to show itself in so many ways. All of that - the possible benefits of which we can't even guess at - dragged down the sewer of short-term party expediency and political gas-lighting to its premature end? What a travesty. What a waste. What utter nonsense.
Just the few unusual sights and findings seen here prompt opening huge areas full of good questions that needed answering. But the Proxmires stepped in, and Gene Cernan was the last to leave a mark. Nothing short of brilliant accomplished, and nothing short of criminal shortly to follow. Is anything in the world better for the extermination of Apollo? Can even one benefit or positive consequence be found?
Thank You Fran! Thank you for reminding us that there _was_ a dream - a real one leading to a different future.
21:32 - "It may be further (sic) away than we think" - Did the astronauts lack depth-perception on the Moon?
No air, no haze, no graying makes it harder to judge. A mountain sticking up way past the horizon is as sharp and ungrayed as a rock by your foot.
This is awesome!
Interesting that the Plantronics single-ear headsets (7:49 and 22:27) are still in use in the FAA anyway, 50 years later.
The penultimate of anything is always ignored, unlike the first and last.
Do y'all remember Jeff Quitney's channel? It was my favorite UA-cam channel of all time and it was chock-full of stuff just like this. I think it was copyrighted to oblivion though and it's a complete shame.
"I got the farts, Charlie.."
"You saw an example of teamwork in example" - Yes that's true, but what kind of teamwork?
NASA Apollo lunar exploration teamwork.
The so slow jump off the ramp!
Had the rover ceased operating, could they still get back to the LEM?
24:07 Raphael mad because they didn't use his lead space suit design...
Thanks for posting another excellent film, Fran! During his lifetime, René Descartes was known for his dislike of livestock. So people always made sure to never put the horse before Descartes. :P
15:16 cue the Dukes of Hazzard music
Wait! What did that sound like at 1:32?
Sorry if you already mentioned, but how are the transfers from film to video accomplished? It looks great!
She did a video on that a few days ago.
Still kinda blows my mind that we were _driving dune buggies on the moon_ in freakin' 1972. You really can't blame science fiction for having civilians living in plexiglass-domed lunar cities by 2000…
When starting back, who was moving the camera upwards, exactly the right moment? ...ET?!
Ed Fendell, via remote control from Earth. He knew just how long his signals would take to travel and be acted on, and just when liftoff would be. And still, only on Apollo 17's liftoff, was he completely successful.
@@Pygar2 ? So Apollo 16 never returned?! (unsucsessful..) Like to have this remote control these days.
@@DJ-RASH "He", meaning Ed Fendell, was unsuccessful in getting the full liftoff footage he hoped for.
As you already knew.
Doesn't that person @0:29 in the video look like their talking on a cell phone?
13:27 WTF? I was hoping to see what the blasts and fall back of debris looked like in no atmosphere and low G but that must be classified eh? No atmosphere dust should fall like rocks, we could observe this if??? Sure they "went" to the moon. On my 2nd birthday no less. Cusp of power.
get a load of the vid recorder, polaroid screenshots, and selectric typewriter. Whats the keypad looking thing on the typewriter? Maybe a layout key for a different ball??

Did they put black paper on the windows to dock back?!
No, but the LM had blackout curtains to keep out extraneous light.
Homeward Bound jiggity jig it reminds me of what one of the characters on Family Guy says giggity giggity
Лунные модули разные - значит это постановка-сборка из разных миссий -возможно аполло 5 или 6!
Wow Alien??? Photo minute 3:43 / 28:40 stop
Хороший фильм. Спасибо.
А рогозин говорит, что не было людей на Луне. Врет, наверно...
NO stuntmen in the world can survive this hard water impact landing.
Horsefeathers. They were lying on acceleration couches, buoyed up by three parachutes- one would have been survivable.
