James Burke looks back on the Apollo Moon landings. Now that ten years have passed, the full story of how and why the United States sent men to the Moon 'for all mankind' can be told.
Featuring exclusive interviews with many of the people directly involved, and access to hitherto unheard NASA audio communications from Mission Control in Houston, the dramatic real-life adventure story of the Moon landings is told more frankly than ever before. Among other things, it is revealed that the pinnacle of the Apollo program's achievements - the famous Apollo 11 Moon landing of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin - was far closer to disaster than was admitted at the time.
James explains some of the most challenging technical aspects of spaceflight, with contributions from Apollo 8 astronaut Jim Lovell, Apollo flight director Gene Krantz, Apollo 11 guidance officer Steve Bales, and Apollo 11 Capcom Charlie Duke.
Clip taken from Project Apollo: The Men Who Walked on the Moon, originally broadcast on BBC One, 20 July, 1979.

James Burke was a very rare television presenter - he actually knew what he was talking about. A very clever guy. Even NASA liked him! He's still with us today, now in his late eighties, and continues writing books people take notice of. Without doubt, one of the best presenters of science and technology the UK has ever had.

@richardvernon317 7 дней назад

And the thing was, he wasn't a Science guy, but got his degree in English!!! When he was put on the BBC Apollo team he read up on every NASA document that he get his hands on and taught himself rocket science. He said in an interview that it was the hardest thing he had ever done.

That whole James Burke PBS Series called "Connections" was among the best Television I've ever watched. For a STEM Fan, J. Burke managed to keep your attention while you learned of some obscure or little known facts within the "6 degrees of separation" realm. You couldn't always see where he was taking you, but you were All In for the answers that all came together at the end of the story. For my second point, my source is a Rocket Scientist Manager, whom is a very good friend, that worked at TRW (the contractor for the throttleable Rocket Engine that enabled the Landing & Takeoff of the LEM. TRW was later absorbed by Northrop Grumman, the builder of the LEM). What I was told was that at least One of the Computer Overload Alarms, the 1201 and/or 1202 alarm, that occurred during Apollo 11 landing was later found to be generated when Buzz Aldrin switched on the Altimeter Radar without following prescribed training procedures. IOW, he didn't tell Niel Armstrong or Mission control what he'd done until after theye'd returned and done an investigation.

Probably the clearest recounting of the landing procedures and the personal experiences and the landing itself that there is. One quibble, however. 0:15 The explanation of the hand controllers is wrong. The right one, a conventional looking joystick, controls roll, pitch, and yaw, like the one on a airplane. The left one controls going front, back, and sideways. It doesn't control power like the throttle in an airplane. A movement from each controller causes a single burst from one or more of the reaction control thrusters. The number of bursts applied determines the "oomph". That's the closest thing that's analogous to a throttle.More bursts means a faster roll rate or faster movement in whatever direction, etc. Opposite bursts are then used to arrest this motion.

SLIM lost an engine at an altitude of 50 meters, and STILL managed to recover enough that it could do science after landing. IM-1 didn’t have a working altimeter because they forgot a pre-flight check, so it came down too fast, exceeded the structural strength of its landing gear and came to rest on its side.

Yes you’d know all about how difficult it is landing on the moon sideways 😂😂 learned from fake NASA propaganda. Definitely jabbed.

@@atmakali9599can you provide any proof that the moon landing was faked? And what do vaccines have to do with this?

@canister6344 4 дня назад

I think that might be because those unmanned landings have to be almost entirely automated. A slight mistake in the code can cause a mission failure.

@@canister6344 you do want it all to be true don’t you. How disappointed and shocked you’d be to own the truth. Best stay asleep and get on with making allowances for their mistakes in the lie.

Landing on the moon in 1969 with the technology available back then is truly the greatest achievement in the history of mankind. God bless the USA 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

Careful now... there are lunatics out there who are adamant it was all faked and done in a television studio! 😄
