How does it feel knowing it was one of the largest hoaxes pulled on human species ever? If you'd do more research than just trusting government to do it for you, then you'd see why we haven't gone back to the moon, why we CANT go to the moon and why NASA states we are Unable to return to the moon. It's all one giant compartmentalized show for the masses to absorb a facade of workmanship and intellectual achievements, thus creating billions of dollars of income for the government to provide nothing but some pictures and some depressed ex astroNOTS who repeatedly tell us the truth when they can(i.e. interviews, albeit extremely rare) but those astroNOTS also tended to live pathetic lives after their amazing "accomplishments" supposedly completing one of man kinds greatest achievements. Ask yourself why Neil Armstrong said what he did during debriefing and during the one press conference after they "returned". They couldn't even keep their lies straight, some saw stars and some stated stars are not capable of being seen. They were depressed, alcoholics, solemn and didn't represent the type of men who actually went to the moon and accomplished something never done before of such magnitude. It's sad that even 10 year Olds can see through the B.S. that Nasa promotes as reality. Grown adults are so indoctrinated they will go to their graves actually believing we can go into "space". Get a telescope and look for the 28k satellites flying around us, you won't find them. Do some research please and then seek answers to the reasons why they would do such a thing as to cause this belief system for billions of humans. They control everything you think you know and they always will with such intellectually ill-equipped individuals within our society.

@@AlbertLebel Exactly. Although it wasn't seen as such at the time, the space race turned out to be a friendly rivalry. It's part of the reason why Apollo-Soyuz was most important mission in my opinion; it was the point where the rivalry ended and space exploration became a joint effort.
I am 74 years old and this bringes back big memories. I had been drafted to light combat duty in Vietnam and listend to the landin while stationed in Pleiku. Light combat means I quarded the forward maintenance facility. We routinely receivied 122 mm rocet attacts, never more then about 35 in a row. These would make a hole 4-5 ft deap and maybe 6 ft accross. I never new anyone injured but had several VERY close calls!
hi , I'm 66 , was in the 8th grade in '69 , I remember us all getting sent home at lunchtime to watch the moon landing , I must have been the only kid in my class that actually watched it lol .......everyone else decided playing football was the go . That was also the one and only time in my life I ever bought a news paper , for the front page and the center lift out on the moon landing , I still have them in a folder somewhere , must get around to going through the drawers and find it , history right there
This historic Apollo program was the most incredible achievement our nation has ever accomplished. We had every right to be proud of what we did and to this day, it is still a huge part of our history that will never, and should not, be forgotten! God bless all of the men and women who took part in this remarkable chapter!
1:19:15 It wasn't a software engineer that solved the 1202 problem. It was a flight controller named Jack Garman. The term "software engineer" didn't even exist at that time because the person who coined the term "Software Engineer" was the woman who wrote all of the software for guidance computer - Margaret Hamilton... the first actual software engineer. Other than that ONE little detail this was a great documentary; well done.
Why do male feminists always try to turn females into Mary Sues? No important piece of software was EVER designed, implemented and tested by ONE person. She was an influential engineer on the frontier of IT but not a singular genius. Your white knighting is bad for women in STEM.

I remember how happy we were when the Eagle landed and how proud of our astronauts we were. Still one of the great memories of my teen years 53 years on.
Same here. That was a time to remember forever. A very proud moment for sure. I think many of us were shocked when they stopped the shuttle program and decided to hitch a ride with Russian Cosmonauts. I am so proud of E. Musk for getting us back to space and back safely and for less.
@@jmpayne333 Are you sure? I recall hearing the "One small step" comment in the faculty lounge of Northwestern U in Chicago, in late afternoon [oops! -- it was evening!]
I would love to see a launch some day up close. It must be an awesome sight. I can only imagine how fantastic it must have been in these earlier days when it all started. As they mention on this video, so many things must operate flawlessly for a safe flight. My hat is off to all that made this possible and to those that continue to make it even better.
My friend witnessed a couple and she said it was awesome, with the rocket rising, the ground shaking and the roar of the engines. I would love to witness a launch myself.
@@harrietharlow9929 It's Unreal. We are lucky to live here. I watch the launch online and 15 seconds after lift off i can see it out of my bedroom window.
The idea that the LEM was 'short-fueled' on mission 10 is not as I've understood it. I gather that Grumman had a LEM they could get TO the moon, but not a lander which could then take off. It was too heavy. Still, since 8 was not to actually land, the lander available was fine for dress-rehearsal. For 11, obviously the LEM was the lightened, lunar-rated vehicle. There were no efforts to prevent an unauthorized landing except the full knowledge on the part of the astronauts that the lander was overweight , a suicide if used.
Oh ok, so this is news to me. Thank you. Ya, I always read that they made it short on fuel so the astronauts would not be tempted to try and land on the moon since they were so close.
@@Technoid_Mutant I believe the Apollo 10 lunar module was too heavy to land on the Moon, it had been built before Grumman's super weight saving programme.

@@projectnightshift6488 What do you mean 'people'? Not on a Redstone there weren't. And there was only one before him - Yuri Gagarin (Vostok 1) atop of a rocket derived from an ICBM, the R7. Shepard would have been the first man in space because MR-3 (Freedom-7) was originally scheduled for April 26, 1960. It was postponed five times by unplanned preparatory work and Gagarin, who launched almost a year later, took the accolade much to Shepard's irritation.
One thing not mentioned about Gemini. A real good reason that they switched back to an escape tower is because if any of the Gemini crews had used the ejection seats, it's probable that after soaking in pure oxygen for hours they would have become two Roman candles flying over the saw grass.
Just to think in less than a hundred years humankind went from the first aircraft to landing on the moon 🌙 true achievement no matter how political some of it really was and sadly politics still getting in the way of a concerted effort without some idiots making it about something else. I applaud all who got us their.
I was 8 in 1968 and watched with my family the moon landing on our black and white RCA with Rabbit ears. Dad smoking his filter less Chesterfield Kings and Mom in her horn rimmed glasses. Dad went from praising American ingenuity and guts on one channel to cussing hippies and Communists on another channel. “Those GD SOB’s are ruining our country”!! I use to laugh at him as a kid and a teenager, then he died one day when I was in college and now I completely understand his concerns and I’m not laughing anymore. He was a Naval officer in WWII and fought in the Pacific against Japan. As soon as he graduated from the Naval Academy he went to war!! A different world from the one he raised me in. He was a tough bastard but I am grateful to him. America is the best place on the planet. Period. 🇺🇸👍

The moral of the Story: Don't challenge the USA. Just like for years, most Olympic teams were actually professional basketball players in there countries, but the USA sent kids due to the Olympic rules. The rules changed, and Michael Jordan with Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and the rest destroyed the entire planet. The Russians failed to show up.
You wrong .first person man women animal to space is ussr. First space shuttle rocket is russia. USA use russia rocket engine to fly space. Russia only country own spaces shuttle not USA. Plz read full information
I think nasal owes it to VonBraun despite his past they whent a hell of long way to the moon that they quit posability never have made it with out a lot of lives or a great deal more cost with out whom they never would have kept a dead presidents mission statement. I think something substantial should be named in his honor !
And we Never went back? All the telemetry data disappeared? Virtually no latency in comms? A funny thing happened on the way to the moon (book title). Psalm 19:1 engraved on WVB marker. Maybe he is trying to tell you something.
@@dmann4683 ya that ur a lunatic who refuses to accept history. Do u not find it even remotely strange that the USSR or Russia never once challenged the US on the achievement? Their main rivals and not once did they say a word. Why is that?
They left out the reading of Genesis in the Apollo 8 mission. Also,they left out Gissom's Mercury mission, where he almost drowned. Also, Yuti Gargarin death in a plane crash in 1968.
NASA is operating a program called Artemis right now. Artemis I has already happened. It was an unmanned mission around the moon and back. Artemis II will be that same basic mission profile, but manned. Artemis III is set to be a manned lunar landing. It HAS been a while. It's time to go back. There was a race to the moon in the Apollo era. The U.S. won. The National support for a lunar program dwindled, so congress voted to cut funding for that program. It costs money to send men to the moon, so things settled down for a long time. And now - a new generation who wasn't around to see those lunar landings is excited to go do it again, and there is a public push to do it again, so they are doing it again. The large gap between Apollo and Artemis makes perfect sense if you're not just an unthinking nutjob.
No he was a civilian test pilot. Also reached the edge of space in the X-15 and bounced off the atmosphere so technically Yuri Gagarin wasn't the first human in space.
I think the only flaw i would label "serious", is the inattention to audio levels while playing classical music. One second you're listening closely to the soft spoken narrator, and the next you are blasted with 200 decibels of Russian melodrama. Ouch!
How can anyone watch this and think that we didn't go to the moon? It wasn't just test a few times then fly to the moon, it was extensive, slow, expensive, painstaking, incremental testing that eventually ended in the most historic technical accomplishment of our species. It's so offensive to say this didn't happen.
It's not offensive really if you understand that they are just uneducated. It's like a grown adult being offended because a 3-year old calls him a "poo poo head". Meh, he's just a toddler. That's the level we're talking about here when it comes to moon-landing-deniers.
For many years I did not know that the U.S. was behind the Russians in the race . When I learned that fact I was very surprised . If it hadn't been for the great explosion of one of the Russian space vehicles the race could have been closer and who knows which country would have been first on the moon .
It was always a race to the moon. The goal of every single NASA mission was to further advance the program on the ultimate goal of putting a man on the moon. Both Russia and the U.S. had their share of firsts - and nobody denies Russia's firsts. It was back and forth for a while, and the U.S. started pulling away, and then ultimately won by putting a man on the moon. That was always the finish line. The "space race" was the whole journey. The finish line was always putting a man on the moon. It's why to this day Russia still hasn't put a man on the moon. I can assure you, they could have if they continued running after the United States crossed the finish line, but they stopped running - - - because the U.S. crossed the finish line first, and the race was over. The finish line was absolutely landing a man on the moon. It's why Russia stopped running.
No, they lost the Space Race but moved the goal post to become the Moon Race where they would win. The goal post of the Space Race was to enter outer space's official boundary and return to Earth safely, which USSR won. For the moon landing, the US won the Moon Race doing the same thing but with the surface of the Moon and heading back involved. These are still magnificent achievements of mankind, but we can’t just erase the accomplishments of rivals, just swallow the bitter pill and establish the new race upfront, like I just retroactively applied “Moon” Race.
Had to laugh at the title, how America won the space race. Yeah, maybe, but only because they defined the finish line!! The USSR beat the Americans in almost every aspect of the human races attempts to explore beyond our planet!! And who said the race is over?? China, The European union, and now India might beg to differ on the idea of the race being over!! America trailed all the way, and only "won" because they decided going to the moon would be the finish line!! But regardless of my little pet peeve on the video title, great video!! Very informative, I have read a few things on the exploration of space, but lots of new information here for me!! Great work to all involved in creating this video!!
Every program NASA operated, every mission - had the ultimate goal of putting a man on the moon. Every mission had a goal to achieve some aspect of a final mission profile to the moon. That was ALWAYS the ultimate goal. Every mission's goal was putting a man on the moon. The finish line was always clear. The Russians were trying to put a man on the moon just the same. They knew what the finish line was. Why have they STILL not put a man on the moon? It's not because they couldn't have - because I can assure you, the Russians could have put humans on the moon by now, so why haven't they? Because they stopped running toward the finish line when the U.S. won the race. That's why. And saying the USSR beat the Americans in almost every aspect is absolute nonsense. They BOTH had their equal share of firsts. It was very much a back and forth race until the Apollo program started, and then the U.S. started pulling away pretty fast, and then crossed the finish line with Apollo 11.
It didn't. They simply declared victory after continuously losing the space race. First man? Soviet First satellite? Soviet First animal? Soviet USSR won the space race in every single aspect but the moon. The US then decided everything else didn't count because only the moon counts(bc that's the only one they won)
Even when I was kid, I always thought one of the most fascinating aspects of the space race was how openly embarrassed the US was by the Soviets and that even to me as a child with literally not an ounce of bias towards Russia thought that ourselves crowning our own country as the victor was just blatant historical revisionism and propaganda.
@@1911acolt1 Your only example is seriously just docking maneuvers? They launched and built the first space station that required docking maneuvers for start, they sent the first probes to the moon, Venus, and Mars, and not to mention designed the most reliable and common use rocket that's still used today, the Soyuz rocket which had it's first launch over 50 years ago. They also actually made more astrophysics discoveries and breakthroughs than the US. They didn't just do "flybys" lol. You say the US came up with better rocket designs yet the Soyuz launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome was the only way for US astronauts to get to the ISS for almost 20 years. Not to mention the pride of US rocket technology (the Saturn V) was designed by Werner von Braun, not even an American.
@@triscuitbiscuit7173 do you realize how many thousands of ppl it took to build and operate the Apollo program? So tired of ppl acting like von braun himself built every peice of the components
@@John_Redcorn_ He literally helped design the critical components of the Saturn V. Another Nazi, Arthur Rudolph was the project director of the Saturn V. There were also other Nazi engineers that worked in all sorts of other fields in relation to the project. There was absolutely notable Americans, but If it took thousands to build and operate the Apollo program, why did they need to outsource their top level designers to former Nazis? The answer is that without them, the US would of no doubt achieved far less in the space race, possibly even losing the moon landing to the soviets. NASA themselves have deemed these individuals "crucial" to America's success in the Apollo program.
@@triscuitbiscuit7173 the program had over a dozen companies and almost 400,000 ppl working on various parts. The lunar module was designed and made by Grumman: von braun had no part in that. GM made the ‘moon buggy’, IBM made most of the computer systems, and Black & Decker made tools. Another company whose name i forget made the space suits. Once you look at how vast the Apollo program was youll see how narrow-minded it is to think the rocket was the only aspect that made it possible.
this a historical documentary about humankind's modern ambition and first known successful steps off the planet and into the beyond. There's no know telling of the advancements ongoing in some classified southwestern desert hanger these days, regarding super advanced designs and systems. However, be it space and then possibly time itself within reach. The question might soon be, apart from the unending wealth and ambition of governments even collaboratively, who can do it best for the least expense, ie most efficiently?
1. Moon landing HAPPENED in July 1969 (Apollo 11) 2. The space race was a result of cold war paranoia 3. The USSR was the world's second superpower due to nuclear weapons 4. Both countries sought out missile technology, with USSR having a lead 5. In 1957, the Soviets sent Spotnik to space 6. In December of 1957, America tried a similar mission and failed. 7. In 1958, the US succeeded 8. Later in 1958, NASA launched (8/10 launches succeeded) 9. The Soviets successfully sent the first person to space 10. Three weeks later, America sent the first American to sub orbit
Can someone tell me the formula for calculating the distance of the moon from earth. I am not looking for a googled fanboy answer of 240,000 or 252,000 miles, but how the distance is calculated, and specifically how it was calculated in 1950.
There’s no formula, since it’s not a fixed distance, but constantly changing. The Wikipedia article “Lunar distance” has a good segment on history of measurement. By the 1950s they used radar, and got the uncertainty down to less than a mile.
@kitcanyon658 I know how radar works. There is no way you can measure the distance of an object *in space and 240,000+ miles away* from earth using radar! 😃😆

Err America didn't win the space race. The Soviet Union won the space, they did everything 1st apart from the moon landings. America won the moon race.
" they did everything 1st apart from the moon landings" wrong. America first returned a geological sample from the moon; accomplished the first terrestrial rendezvous and docking; first lunar rendezvous and docking; and the U.S. never had a man die in space. the Soviets had three die in space.
The first intercontinental ballistic missile - USSR The first artificial satellite of the Earth - the USSR The first animal-cosmonaut - USSR The first artificial satellite of the Sun - USSR The first device on the Moon - USSR The first man in space - USSR The first man in outer space - USSR The first on Venus - USSR The first on Mars - the USSR And "America won the space race"?! Are you kidding? It seems that Americans have their own history.
They had a lot of other firsts in low earth orbit and on the moon too. And if not for the death of Korolev and the political infighting before and after that, they might have gotten people there too, if not even getting there first too. However, they almost always went with quantity over quality, and with Soyuz 1 and 11 in mind, it might not have ended well.
In which America responded by like a few weeks and months. First Icbm-America responded with the Atlas and Pershing Icbm, First satellite-America WITH explorer 1
I agree that Kennedy made a mistake when he issued a deadline. and sadly, three Americans were killed in the Apollo 1 capsule. there were also three Russians killed in the vacuum of space. but, yeah, about the deadline--i'd never thought of it that way until i read your comment.
Soviets won the space race since they were the ones who put the first man into "space". Or does it mean, when another nation puts a man on Mars, that nation is the 1 dethrones the nations B4 it?
obviously the leader in space exploration can change over time. the Russians were in the lead from 1957 to 1966 and the Americans have been in the lead for 60 years and still are.
Will America win the biotech race? In this race the goal is to find the cure for cancer and other diseases, while fighting pandemics, develop the technology for human life extension and rejuvenation.
Considering how people like Bill Gates are creating both the problem and the solution in biotech to line his pockets, I’d say HE is the one who’s winning.
Won the space race? First to the moon, I'll give you - First satellite - USSR, first man in space - USSR, first woman in space - USSR, first space walk - USSR, first ship to orbit Mars - USSR, first ship to orbit Venus - USSR, first ship to land on Venus - USSR....are you getting the pattern here? The Soviets knew they could get a man to the moon, but were unsure they could get him back, so their program was abandoned....
When you lose so bad you run off towards a new direction and declare victory after having lost everything else Americans are just as blind and nationalist as north koreans. I wonder if it's a full on delusion or simply manipulation and propaganda
@@John_Redcorn_ Do you believe it is a spinning ball with upside down continents and boats floating upside down bc of a theory of gravity?

It was a real “come from behind” win though. Korolev and the Soviets had the edge for the first two decades of space exploration.

Same here. That was a time to remember forever. A very proud moment for sure. I think many of us were shocked when they stopped the shuttle program and decided to hitch a ride with Russian Cosmonauts. I am so proud of E. Musk for getting us back to space and back safely and for less.

I would love to see a launch some day up close. It must be an awesome sight. I can only imagine how fantastic it must have been in these earlier days when it all started. As they mention on this video, so many things must operate flawlessly for a safe flight. My hat is off to all that made this possible and to those that continue to make it even better.
Oh mee too!!! And I agree 100%
It's something you wont ever forget. I still remember the sound and the rumble of the Shuttle launches. Can't wait to watch SLS and StarShip.
My friend witnessed a couple and she said it was awesome, with the rocket rising, the ground shaking and the roar of the engines. I would love to witness a launch myself.

@@EvilSnipa That sounds super-cool.
The idea that the LEM was 'short-fueled' on mission 10 is not as I've understood it. I gather that Grumman had a LEM they could get TO the moon, but not a lander which could then take off. It was too heavy. Still, since 8 was not to actually land, the lander available was fine for dress-rehearsal. For 11, obviously the LEM was the lightened, lunar-rated vehicle. There were no efforts to prevent an unauthorized landing except the full knowledge on the part of the astronauts that the lander was overweight , a suicide if used.
There was no LM on Apollo-8.
Oh ok, so this is news to me. Thank you. Ya, I always read that they made it short on fuel so the astronauts would not be tempted to try and land on the moon since they were so close.
That was Apollo 10.
@@liquidbraino Oops. I do believe he's right. I stand corrected. I did mean 10.
@@Technoid_Mutant I believe the Apollo 10 lunar module was too heavy to land on the Moon, it had been built before Grumman's super weight saving programme.

What do you mean 'people'? Not on a Redstone there weren't. And there was only one before him - Yuri Gagarin (Vostok 1) atop of a rocket derived from an ICBM, the R7.
Shepard would have been the first man in space because MR-3 (Freedom-7) was originally scheduled for April 26, 1960. It was postponed five times by unplanned preparatory work and Gagarin, who launched almost a year later, took the accolade much to Shepard's irritation.

We do it not bc they are easy, but bc they are hard.
One thing not mentioned about Gemini. A real good reason that they switched back to an escape tower is because if any of the Gemini crews had used the ejection seats, it's probable that after soaking in pure oxygen for hours they would have become two Roman candles flying over the saw grass.

Just to think in less than a hundred years humankind went from the first aircraft to landing on the moon 🌙 true achievement no matter how political some of it really was and sadly politics still getting in the way of a concerted effort without some idiots making it about something else.

I was 8 in 1968 and watched with my family the moon landing on our black and white RCA with Rabbit ears. Dad smoking his filter less Chesterfield Kings and Mom in her horn rimmed glasses. Dad went from praising American ingenuity and guts on one channel to cussing hippies and Communists on another channel. “Those GD SOB’s are ruining our country”!! I use to laugh at him as a kid and a teenager, then he died one day when I was in college and now I completely understand his concerns and I’m not laughing anymore. He was a Naval officer in WWII and fought in the Pacific against Japan. As soon as he graduated from the Naval Academy he went to war!! A different world from the one he raised me in. He was a tough bastard but I am grateful to him.

The moral of the Story: Don't challenge the USA. Just like for years, most Olympic teams were actually professional basketball players in there countries, but the USA sent kids due to the Olympic rules. The rules changed, and Michael Jordan with Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and the rest destroyed the entire planet. The Russians failed to show up.

They left out the reading of Genesis in the Apollo 8 mission. Also,they left out Gissom's Mercury mission, where he almost drowned. Also, Yuti Gargarin death in a plane crash in 1968.

NASA is operating a program called Artemis right now. Artemis I has already happened. It was an unmanned mission around the moon and back. Artemis II will be that same basic mission profile, but manned. Artemis III is set to be a manned lunar landing. It HAS been a while. It's time to go back.
There was a race to the moon in the Apollo era. The U.S. won. The National support for a lunar program dwindled, so congress voted to cut funding for that program. It costs money to send men to the moon, so things settled down for a long time. And now - a new generation who wasn't around to see those lunar landings is excited to go do it again, and there is a public push to do it again, so they are doing it again. The large gap between Apollo and Artemis makes perfect sense if you're not just an unthinking nutjob.
Why was Neil Armstrong the first civilian in space? Wasn't he a military test pilot for the X15?
No he was a civilian test pilot. Also reached the edge of space in the X-15 and bounced off the atmosphere so technically Yuri Gagarin wasn't the first human in space.

How can anyone watch this and think that we didn't go to the moon? It wasn't just test a few times then fly to the moon, it was extensive, slow, expensive, painstaking, incremental testing that eventually ended in the most historic technical accomplishment of our species. It's so offensive to say this didn't happen.
It's not offensive really if you understand that they are just uneducated. It's like a grown adult being offended because a 3-year old calls him a "poo poo head". Meh, he's just a toddler. That's the level we're talking about here when it comes to moon-landing-deniers.
I absolutely love that the Brits did away with the intentional mispronunciation of "Gemini" ... one of my pet peeves about the American space program.

Yeah but they still say "Shedule" instead of "Schedule". They can't even speak their own language right so we fixed it for them.
It was the American's project and space program, they can pronounce Gemini how they choose. Has Britain ever even been to space...?

It's real easy to win a race when you keep pushing the finish line further down the track every time your opponent beats you.
It was always a race to the moon. The goal of every single NASA mission was to further advance the program on the ultimate goal of putting a man on the moon. Both Russia and the U.S. had their share of firsts - and nobody denies Russia's firsts. It was back and forth for a while, and the U.S. started pulling away, and then ultimately won by putting a man on the moon. That was always the finish line. The "space race" was the whole journey. The finish line was always putting a man on the moon. It's why to this day Russia still hasn't put a man on the moon. I can assure you, they could have if they continued running after the United States crossed the finish line, but they stopped running - - - because the U.S. crossed the finish line first, and the race was over. The finish line was absolutely landing a man on the moon. It's why Russia stopped running.
What's the song from 15:00 on?
What about the salsa soundtrack?
No, they lost the Space Race but moved the goal post to become the Moon Race where they would win. The goal post of the Space Race was to enter outer space's official boundary and return to Earth safely, which USSR won. For the moon landing, the US won the Moon Race doing the same thing but with the surface of the Moon and heading back involved.
These are still magnificent achievements of mankind, but we can’t just erase the accomplishments of rivals, just swallow the bitter pill and establish the new race upfront, like I just retroactively applied “Moon” Race.
You don't think Apollo was part ofc the space race?
What is the of the background music ? Anyone please ?

Chris Blackwell - Kirov Renewed
Had to laugh at the title, how America won the space race. Yeah, maybe, but only because they defined the finish line!! The USSR beat the Americans in almost every aspect of the human races attempts to explore beyond our planet!! And who said the race is over?? China, The European union, and now India might beg to differ on the idea of the race being over!! America trailed all the way, and only "won" because they decided going to the moon would be the finish line!!
But regardless of my little pet peeve on the video title, great video!! Very informative, I have read a few things on the exploration of space, but lots of new information here for me!! Great work to all involved in creating this video!!
Every program NASA operated, every mission - had the ultimate goal of putting a man on the moon. Every mission had a goal to achieve some aspect of a final mission profile to the moon. That was ALWAYS the ultimate goal. Every mission's goal was putting a man on the moon. The finish line was always clear. The Russians were trying to put a man on the moon just the same. They knew what the finish line was. Why have they STILL not put a man on the moon? It's not because they couldn't have - because I can assure you, the Russians could have put humans on the moon by now, so why haven't they? Because they stopped running toward the finish line when the U.S. won the race. That's why.
And saying the USSR beat the Americans in almost every aspect is absolute nonsense. They BOTH had their equal share of firsts. It was very much a back and forth race until the Apollo program started, and then the U.S. started pulling away pretty fast, and then crossed the finish line with Apollo 11.
It didn't.
They simply declared victory after continuously losing the space race.
First man? Soviet
First satellite? Soviet
First animal? Soviet
USSR won the space race in every single aspect but the moon.
The US then decided everything else didn't count because only the moon counts(bc that's the only one they won)
Even when I was kid, I always thought one of the most fascinating aspects of the space race was how openly embarrassed the US was by the Soviets and that even to me as a child with literally not an ounce of bias towards Russia thought that ourselves crowning our own country as the victor was just blatant historical revisionism and propaganda.
@@1911acolt1 Your only example is seriously just docking maneuvers? They launched and built the first space station that required docking maneuvers for start, they sent the first probes to the moon, Venus, and Mars, and not to mention designed the most reliable and common use rocket that's still used today, the Soyuz rocket which had it's first launch over 50 years ago. They also actually made more astrophysics discoveries and breakthroughs than the US. They didn't just do "flybys" lol.
You say the US came up with better rocket designs yet the Soyuz launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome was the only way for US astronauts to get to the ISS for almost 20 years. Not to mention the pride of US rocket technology (the Saturn V) was designed by Werner von Braun, not even an American.
@@triscuitbiscuit7173 do you realize how many thousands of ppl it took to build and operate the Apollo program? So tired of ppl acting like von braun himself built every peice of the components
@@John_Redcorn_ He literally helped design the critical components of the Saturn V. Another Nazi, Arthur Rudolph was the project director of the Saturn V. There were also other Nazi engineers that worked in all sorts of other fields in relation to the project.
There was absolutely notable Americans, but If it took thousands to build and operate the Apollo program, why did they need to outsource their top level designers to former Nazis?
The answer is that without them, the US would of no doubt achieved far less in the space race, possibly even losing the moon landing to the soviets. NASA themselves have deemed these individuals "crucial" to America's success in the Apollo program.
@@triscuitbiscuit7173 the program had over a dozen companies and almost 400,000 ppl working on various parts. The lunar module was designed and made by Grumman: von braun had no part in that. GM made the ‘moon buggy’, IBM made most of the computer systems, and Black & Decker made tools. Another company whose name i forget made the space suits. Once you look at how vast the Apollo program was youll see how narrow-minded it is to think the rocket was the only aspect that made it possible.
They killed this documentary with the music
this a historical documentary about humankind's modern ambition and first known successful steps off the planet and into the beyond.

There’s no formula, since it’s not a fixed distance, but constantly changing. The Wikipedia article “Lunar distance” has a good segment on history of measurement. By the 1950s they used radar, and got the uncertainty down to less than a mile.

Err America didn't win the space race. The Soviet Union won the space, they did everything 1st apart from the moon landings. America won the moon race.
" they did everything 1st apart from the moon landings"
wrong. America first returned a geological sample from the moon; accomplished the first terrestrial rendezvous and docking; first lunar rendezvous and docking; and the U.S. never had a man die in space. the Soviets had three die in space.
50 wasted years not going back, just think how much more we could have learned if we had kept going.
We havent went back because we learned all we needed about the moon. Pretty uninteresting celestial body compared to other moons/planets
They did keep going. The public wasn't informed. That's from Gov. Intel not me. Have a great day

The first on Venus - USSR
The first on Mars - the USSR
And "America won the space race"?! Are you kidding? It seems that Americans have their own history.
They had a lot of other firsts in low earth orbit and on the moon too. And if not for the death of Korolev and the political infighting before and after that, they might have gotten people there too, if not even getting there first too. However, they almost always went with quantity over quality, and with Soyuz 1 and 11 in mind, it might not have ended well.
In which America responded by like a few weeks and months. First Icbm-America responded with the Atlas and Pershing Icbm, First satellite-America WITH explorer 1
There was no way there should have been a deadline. Fortunately no one got killed due to it.
