This scene is just mindblowing and I was in tears. Perfectly encapsulates the Apollo program. "Just a lot of people doing the best they could". Hats off

This was a beautiful scene
Was totally unexpected
I finally saw this film. Stitched together from recently found 65 mm film (I didn’t know there was such a thing). It looks like it was shot a week ago. Unbelievable quality. And I’m on a flight from El Paso to Atlanta and I don’t know if it’s the lack of oxygen (I think they pressurize to 8000’ equivalent?), the glass of wine I drank, or both but when they showed the return trip home and that they were playing this song, I found myself sitting there literally bawling. The flight attendant actually asked if I was OK. That scene really hit home.
lol I cried too
I just saw the film today in an IMAX theater. You're right about the quality-- the footage was gorgeous and so was this wonderful song. "Oh Mother Country, I do love you."
Me too
Yup!
That's because you have a soul, and some pride in what a lot of men and women did to realise a goal, together, for the first time ever, using skill and judgement..didn't always work, but at least they endeavoured to persevere...A lump came to my throat too..I was 13 at the time, and was allowed to stay up until about 3 in the morning, our time, UK, to watch the landing...I could never forget it, and never tire of watching it over again..Magnificent achievement.
Class song . class singer . thanks man . Blessings . Johnny
The biggest day in the life of a 11 years old . Me .
The next biggest say was . my wedding and the the birth of my children .
Mankind realy did take a giant leap that day .
Stay safe .
I cannot get over how many visual puns there were in this scene

Thanks for sharing. I had the chance to witness a rocket launch in 2018. Memorable experience. I posted a pretty cool montage of the trip to my channel.
It is not about "quality". This film shows how a goal unites a nation, how important dreams are and how to strive for a goal. It shows what America was then and that, unfortunately, there is no such thing anymore. It also shows ... the Americans were thin.
"Just a lot of people, doing the best they could."
The _idea_ of America in 10 words.
Agree with you on all points. I’m an Aussie & back then we all looked up to America, the luckiest of countries with aspirational intent, working bloody hard for family, community & country: mother country, we loved you. ❤
Only made it as far as Kabul with its semi-lunar landscape, but it was still far enough away from home to evoke those same feelings.
Os lunáticos.
O filme mais caro jamais produzido entrou no catalágo do Netflix. Ele se chama Apollo 11 e é documentário apenas com imagens internas e inéditas até agora da NASA da conquista da Lua. Além de serem reais, a imagens fazem meu queixo cair pela qualidade. Parecem que tem 5 anos filmadas em ¨7K mas tem mais 50 anos captadas em película. Um dinheiro bem gasto marca a conquista e seus heróis.
Não sei se repararam, mas toda pessoa remotamente ligada ao programa espacial, por mais CDF e calculista que fosse, era um lunático. Suas ideias não tinham nada de pé no chão. Levar o homem à Lua era totalmente impraticável. Os custos eram inviáveis. A tecnologia não existia e não era nada confiável. O Fusca até podia levar você lá, já o módulo lunar Eagle, sei não... coisa mais esquisita era aquela geringonça.
Mesmo com todas as pesquisas feitas, todas as polices e todas as ISOs da Nasa, ir à Lua era uma enorme jogada de dados. Só que os dados da jogada, em vez de seis lados, tinham milhares de faces (e, para ajudar, os computadores eram a cartão perfurado, bah). A lunissagem, por exemplo. Por mais que a Nasa tenha escaneado, radiografado e sondado o melhor lugar para o pouso, ele não era confiável. O ponto exato para abordagem do target podia ser um tipo de poço de areia movediça lunar. Nisso, o Eagle podia encalhar. Já pensaram a primeira mensagem vinda do satélite ser "Houston, manda o guincho"?
Porém esse risco enorme não impediu a conquista da Lua.
Hoje, qualquer zé-mané tem um computador melhor que o dos astronautas e pode escanear o mundo através do Google Maps. Podemos ter um visão bem mais aprofundada de nossos objetivos e temos mais e melhores ferramentas para alcançá-los. Entretanto, covardes ou burros (ou os dois juntos), em vez de lançar foguetes para as estrelas, agora damos tiros de festim achando que vamos longe.
O foguete Saturno 5 tinha a altura de um prédio de 33 andares (comparativamente, o edifício Gothan City em Curitiba tem 25). Era barulhento, poluente, pesado, caro, explosivo, perigoso, mas era o jeito certo para escapar da atmosfera do conhecido, vencer a corrida espacial e dar um enorme passo para a humanidade.
Pense nisso quando traçar objetivos para sua vida ou na próxima vez que analisar uma ideia meio lunática.
São exatamente essas que têm o potencial para levar sua marca à Lua e dar um enorme passo em sua carreira.
Back when America really was Great
Ad Astra!
