Awesome series of development films.
Send this to Jeff quitney for video correction the blinking is kinda severe
UA-cam 86'd his channel..the pricks!
@@Mark_Ocain Crap - why?
23:45 that sustainer engine tho...
that was beautiful
Since this film has been digitised there is software out there to clean up the sound and image quality problems.
If the failure shown at 9:51 of this clip had been on a manned Mercury-Atlas mission, this is how it would have sounded on CBS-TV:
Walter Cronkite (anchorman): We're less than minute away from the launch of John Doe into orbit in his Harmony 7 space capsule.
John "Shorty" Powers (Mission Control spokesman): This is Mercury Control. T-minus 30 seconds. The umbilical is out....T-Minus 20 seconds. All systems are go. T-Minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Zero..Ignition.. Liftoff!... Anomoly!.. Abort initiated!
Cronkite: The escape tower is yanking Harmony 7 away from.the rocket, which is flying erratically.
Powers: The escape tower has yanked Harmony 7 away from the rocket....Destruct command initiated..
Cronkite: The Atlas has exploded but John Doe and Harmony 7 were pulled away...
Powers (interrupting): Escape tower jettisoned.. Drogue chute out.
Cronkite: We're switching to a shot if the rocket, the flaming remains of which, have just crashed on the beach near Complex 14.
Powers: Main chute deployed. Medical sensors indicate John Doe had a brief jolt of 13 G's during the abort but is back to normal vital signs and reports he's A-OK.
Cronkite: That's great news! You see the capsule descending under it's main parachute, landing bag deployed, and is about to splash down. Depending on how close it splashes down,it may be tower ashore or Colonel Doe will leave the capsule after splashdown, be hoisted into the rescue copter, then the copter will lift Harmony 7 out of the water and take both Doe and the spacecraft to the Forward Medical Area.
Powers: Harmony 7 is approaching splashdown and Colonel John Doe reports he is find shape despite the abort.
Cronkite: Splashdown us imminent...
Powers: Splashdown! Colonel Doe reports he's fine and will be rescued by helicopter while Harmony 7 will be towed back to shore..
Cronkite: A failure in an attempt to put Colonel John Doe into orbit, but the abort system worked perfectly and he's safe and sound. When he arrives at the Forward Medical Area, he'll be checked out, get a short debriefing with Project Mercury management, and will probably hood a press conference later today.....I've been told we will be able to show you the aborted launch of videotape, using a new technique of slow motion replay....
Looking at the electronics assembly area, most likely some AZUSA transponders.
One second after my post they actually mention AZUSA transponders, one of my early design tasks starting in 1958 in building 4.
Time stamp 18:20... very close to the "Vela Incident" LZ?
Rnager 4 did not impact on the far side of the moon. If it had, we wouldn't have gotten back any photos because the moon would have blocked the radio waves (just like during Apollo)
"An onboard computer failure caused failure of the deployment of the solar panels and navigation systems; as a result the spacecraft crashed on the far side of the Moon without returning any scientific data."
@@104thDIVTimberwolf At 22:48 it implies that the photos we are seeing are from Ranger 4. Obviously that is/was not the case.
5:16, Mugu Rock!! It was bigger then =)
Nice
And now comes WD-40 by the barrel.
I'm sure the Soviets were very much aware of these activities at that time.
Piss off with the artificial audio/visual flicker! You're just trying to make your film look historic.
The artificial flicker makes this film fairly unwatchable.
200 yards from target, if true then it's a total fluke
The fake flicker might be the dumbest digital artifact of all time. Good job ruining an interesting film.
You don't remember 16mm film, apparently.
@@104thDIVTimberwolf well i do & have 100's of 16 mm color home movies, doesn't flicker like this.
Fake flicker and prijecter noiseisreally bad
22:15 Said::: Soviets reached the Moon in 1959, and it shows the 10th USA attempt to do the same !!! USSR obviously pranked USA into faking Atlas, and then, Apollos to the Moon, in the next decade!!!
Pranked you into writing that bs, even after it croaked.
@@xandervk2371==PRANK"???
@@xandervk2371 this simple experiment proves all those "ROCKETS" were pure fakes, in YT:::("Rocket.Thrust.to.Weight.Ratio")("TWR")
@@kareemsalessi As you said.
Atlas bombs atlas bunkers . Do the math .
unwatchable
