Apollo 11: 50 Years Later 

RIP Neil Armstrong. You were and still are my hero and my prince. You would be 89 today and wish you a happy birthday with the Lord! For me you still are that humble, very intelligent, quiet, courageous, gentle, practical and etc...My hero for ever!

This was truly Mankind's finest hour

Carl Sagan said: 'We have created a world that profoundly depends on science and technology, we've also created things so that no-one understands science and technology, we might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces'

I have been lucky enough to have met 11 of the 24 astronauts who travelled to the Moon, both those who landed and those who did not - Jim Lovell (Apollo 8, 13), Tom Stafford (Apollo 10), Gene Cernan (Apollo 10, 17), Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11), Alan Bean (Apollo 12), Dick Gordon (Apollo 12). Fred Haise (Apollo 13), Ed Mitchell (Apollo 14), Dave Scott (Apollo 15), Al Worden (Apollo 15) and Charlie Duke (Apollo 16). These men accomplished a feat that will probably never occur again but will always remain the best engineering feat that humans will ever do. One slightly sour note about the landings was that as far as I know no plaque or memorial was placed on the Moon commemorating President Kennedy and his speeches which inspired the Americans to go to the Moon in the first place. Whatever the reasons for his decision to go to the Moon, Kennedy was more responsible then anyone else for the Apollo program, and I find it strange and sad that no memorial to him was placed on the lunar surface. It is ironic that Richard Nixon’s name was placed on the descent stages of the lunar modules, a man who had nothing to do with Apollo whatsoever and who had he beaten Kennedy in 1960 would have ensured no Moon landings would have taken place At all. I know Nixon was the President at the time of the landings but it would have been more appropriate to have put the names of Kennedy And Lyndon Johnson instead of Nixon.

Michael Collins constantly brings his sense of humour and humility to this the geatest adventure of Apollo 11 that makes me feel like we were all a part of the crew.

This was pretty good, but it falls into the main trap that short form documentaries on the Apollo program fall into: They did not take into account the incrementation that was involved. The true American space program extends all the way back to Operation Paperclip at the end of WWII. Once the challenge of the space race was issued, the first steps were tentative, with Explorer 1, through Ham and the space chimps, to Mercury, then Gemini, then finally Apollo. It was truly the culmination of decades of constant progress, but documentaries like this one seem to imply that it sprang forth fully formed, and all that does is lend voice to the claims of the unintelligent who decry the entire thing as having never happened... To truly do justice to Apollo, you must include all that came before.

Tranquility base here .. the eagle has landed !

Excellent video! Many thanks!

RIP Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins I saw Buzz Aldrin speak for an hour here in NZ in 2010 about his experiences ON the Moon.. amazing achievement.. thanks from NZ🇳🇿 👍🌍

"People love conspiracy theories... they are very attractive. But it was never a concern to me because I know one day somebody is going to go fly back up there and pick up that camera I left." -Neil Armstrong in 2012

In memory of 50 years ago tourism USA Neill Armstrong shop till ya drop guys 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

Eighty-five halfwits and flat-earthers didn't like this video. What an amazing achievement. Watched it on television like everyone else. Marveled at it like everyone else. Listening to Armstrong's historic pronouncement sent a chill up and down my spine. Utterly fantastic!

Loved it! The audio is a little spotty during certain times of this broadcast.

0:52 "American ingenuity" yes of course :)

Amazing, yes.

I don't understand how millions of idiots hate America. America is unique and full of opportunities for everyone. There is no reason for being poor in America. There is no reason for being homeless in America. I arrived to America in 1975 from Spain after leaving communist Cuba one year before. I brought seven dollars and fifty cents in my pocket. As soon as I kissed the American soul I looked for a newspaper to look for a job, any job... Next week I was working. I borrowed $175 for my first transportation and paid the money back in two paychecks. Today I am a happy retired engineer and live in my own home in the place I love: Appalachian Mountains. The opportunities exist but they usually don't come to us. We must walk onto the opportunities. God Bless America!!!

Does anyone know who checked out Neil Armstrong in gliders?

My Elementary school opened in 1969, Named ..” Neil Armstrong Elementary School. ”I was one of about 50 kids that went from kindergarten to 6th grade, .In 1976 we graduated from Neil Armstrong Elementary School. . It is in San Ramon, CA. Back then if you called the police, you got a sheriff a hour later. Now days it is a City and tons of traffic, a Walmart, etc. And no place for big trucks to park, and the people will cut you off left and right , but they do that everywhere, so.....

Thank you Humans, let s move forward for a better evolved TERRA😉😉

H Anniversary 50. Mike quotes were the best part I,m not sure about nama but he did have the over watch and is also responsible for infallability of how tragic it could have been due to that rather early flight control problem which still is the greatest human exploration so far. Also enjoyed the interview about the launch and how it really feels physically to fly 5 F1 beyond all spectral optical illusions or not and understand Armstrongs engineering of the publicity which also creates the NEO mythos that it does make the visual share of his and the programs achievements to give our species her and other species of better longevity and hopefully he's re juvinated too about the celebrity and probably if we know so far Earth women the same presiding objectives.

I thought Steve Bales prevented the mission abort from the 1202 alarms.

Michael Collins. Hero. And very humorous and humble. Well, tomorrow the 20th of july he and Buzz will celebrate mankinds greatest achievement and have Neal on there minds. Makes me humble.

My only wish or hope in life!! Is that us the human race can someday recover from this..!

This is America!

This has got to be the most Badass most suicidal mission in History of mankind that some james bond mission right there

Great humans with NASA station.😇👏 #NASA

Amazingly fast communication time with Nixon on that telephone... Indeed quicker than my WiFi signal.

Why is no one on the moon right now? I will Tell you: Sorry I lost the information

11:26 EEUU did not "won" space race just because of that, Russia was and still are the main nation into space explotation, they were the firts ones in everything else. By the way Ms. Hamilton made a huge part of the software, but she was not the one who said after the alarm "keep going", that was a guy who knew at that moment every number code errors, HE was the one who took the main decition in that moment not Ms. Hamilton...

My teacher made a study guide for this video and put the questions out of order.

Depends of the sort of Leap, rocket competition & political supremecy, as a far travel.

The Moon , the fucking Moon !!

Amazing fifty years later and still people believe this really happened . Our handlers are happy.

We should use this public attention of the 50 th anniversary to get public support for a Mars program. If we don't do it now, public support may be less if we wait. The population today is not as adventurous as it was 50 years and the politicians are only interested in reelection.

Do not be offended by the pathetically ignorant deniers and/or trolls. Consider the advent of smartphones, and an increasing number of truly ignorant people from remote places gaining access. People no longer need be smart enough to use a computer in order to post here, obviously.

Mid 1961, NASA administrator talking to a NASA engineer on the telephone: ADMINISTRATOR: "Buck?" ENGINEER: "What?" ADMINISTRATOR: "We're going to the Moon." ENGINEER: "What?" ADMINISTRATOR: "President just said we're going to the Moon." ENGINEER: "Are you kiddin' me, Joe?" ADMINISTRATOR: "No, Buck. He said it on TV...we're going to the Moon." ENGINEER: "What in the hell!?!! Goddammit! Joe, we can't even get a guy to orbit the Earth more than one time, never mind fly to the goddamned Moon!" FFWD>> Mid 2019, Skype conversation between NASA administrator and NASA engineer: ADMINISTRATOR: "Buck?" ENGINEER: "What?" ADMINISTRATOR: "We're going to the Moon." ENGINEER: "What?" ADMINISTRATOR: "President just said we're going to the Moon." ENGINEER: "Are you kiddin' me, Joe?" ADMINISTRATOR: "No, Buck. He said it on Twitter...we're going to the Moon." ENGINEER: "What in the hell!?!! Goddammit! Joe, we can't even get guys to go beyond Low Earth Orbit, never mind fly to the goddamned Moon!" Some things hardly ever change, do they? ;-)

they were traveling 25000 mpr , earth orbit is 17000 mph

Oglądałam , wtedy myślałam, że w 2000 roku na księżycu będzie już baza.........

I like how they weaved in the identy politics bit. If they were weight down with the bogus "diversity" mandate - it'd still be in the hobby stages. It's not about male, female, shemale. It's about all man kind getting to the moon period.

Awww, come on, get the landing leg deployment correct! - 9:55

Besides the huge expense to go back to the moon, the main reason why we haven't returned is we found what we wished to discover. The genesis rock. The genesis rock itself proves we landed on the moon. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_Rock

Just a question...with all the amazing features on the moon, why would NASUCKA want to land in such a desolate nothingness part area?

We never went to the moon. 50 years after proves that no one went back in the meantime. According to Nasa actors, they would go to the moon in the nanosecond but they don't have that technology anymore and it's very difficult to build it. Technology of one calculator must be very hard to build according to Nasa.

Best hollywood movie

Sad story how the Kennedy might landed in the darkside of the moon ... because of this...

Wasn't a 'dream' but political posturing

How comical can you get? This is better than Disneyland. They should make a ride like this at Disney World in Orlando, Fl.And do not forget about all the urine and feces that must have made the cabin smell like a cesspool, this odor would be a great added touch ! What a fantastic ride it would be !!

The story of German intelligence and technology.

Good Documentary. It answers common sense questions with more detail that other 'TV' documentaries don't/didn't.

How did all of that spent money help anybody.

I gess thetecnology american astronates had at that time was in 4D🤓

The three astronauts of Apollo 11 - Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins - were all born in 1930. The lunar landing module (LEM) was famously named 'Eagle'. eagle=30=E5+A1+G7+L12+E5 'Coincidence' or Masonic(7,74) Code(4)?

That's it then. The first human on Mars has got to be a one-legged black lesbian.

Annnndddd they had to bring race into it...

No comment.

"Farther," not "further."

let's wait and see what a real moon landing will eventually look like, some day

69

Explain the Van Allen belt please….. that’s what I thought

Hi😜😜😜😜😜😜

2:58 I can see the entire earth.he can only say that if the earth is flat.

I show the hoods of New England on my channel. Boston Worcester ect. Go celtics and stay safe.

I hear they're planning to go back. I wonder if they'll _really_ make that attempt, or will they simply fake it like last time?

The 50th anniversary of a great moment in modern history is this year (2019) on the 20th July. It's the Apollo11 Moon landing event. And there were FIVE MORE ! (Apollo's 12 14 15 16 17) We are beginning to hear the collective 'brain fart ' of the 'flat earthers and other silly duffers. It's going to be good entertainment reading their frantic comments on Utube. And here's another way of thinking about it. This year we salute the 400,000 people worldwide who were involved in 'faking' the SIX Apollo Moon Landings and for keeping their mouths shut about it for 50 years !

1969: going to the moon ! 2019: we didn't return to the moon and still the video from 1969 What a joke lol ^^ #NasaGoingNoWhere

@0:29 so the Hidden Figures women weren't real??

Nine journeys to the moon and the Russians not even one maned journey there and back, not much of a race, history says they had neither the money or the intention to go? Why?

The "historian"can't leave politics out of this. Noticed "only White men" etc. Has to be 2019 And it this video descends into sad political correctness crap

Nixon..... For the heavens are about to have the screws put on NASA yours truly from the President himself.....

RU-vid algorithms shoving memories of the moon landings down our throats. So easy in the 60's, still IMPOSSIBLE in the 21st century. Gotta love it.

Америка и NASA - супер,россия и путен просрали гения Королева и все достижения республик бывшего сср

Do You still believe we went to the moon ... ??? Do You still believe rockets and astronauts can penetrate Thermosphere and Van Allen Belt ... ???

My husband sincerely does not believe we ever went to the moon. Lol he makes a good argument, but I am an intellectual.. I have to believe in the impossible. I find too much awe and wonder in the space program to not believe.

I want to see NASA just fly outside of the earth's low orbit, and turn around and return to the earth's surface.... Not possible..?

@1:00 Greatest leap was Jesus dying on the cross for our sins.

how did he leave a bootprint unless there is water on the moon ? it looks like cement ( dry cement ) which has a microscopic amount of water in it ,if you put a boot in dry sand you get a hole - add water then do it you get a print ....odd no one picks up on the things that dont fit :/ Backpacks - wouldnt fit the doorway of the dimensions of the LEM given to the press by NASA - no one even looks at that Jumping off the ladder ?!?! :o SERIOUSLY ? jumping off the ladder ,no one has an issue there :o Door in LEM opened other way in press release but that interfered with the film footage ( also the fact above that the damn doorway was too small for the stated backpack .)door was changed to left hinge . Im NOT saying we havent been into space but i dont buy this landing whatsoever ,maybe just maybe we orbited if we even got that far but the STS mission that went to the outer edge of the Van Allen fully suited up 3 visors in the shuttle - all had radiation issues n had to turn back .They couldnt fucntion & operate the craft ...Id love this to be true i really would but NASA dont help themselves much really in this department ...Armstrong still a hero in my book as he was a tesst pilot ,gotta respect that ....

ALL The Materials used would have been destroyed while travelling to the moon.

Great presentation. What a pity they had to introduce bloody wokery into it. Being a man or a woman or having a particular skin hue is a qualification of nothing. We couldn't go to the moon now, because we would select the crew using stupid, emotional metrics.

Man never stepped foot on the moon. Not even 500 miles above earths surface.

What I remember the most about the moon landing is how boring it was. Five minutes after blast-off they went into animations. Why didn't they use a telescope or a on board camera. Because they can only fake so much. You're not part of the great adventure of space, you're part of a great lie.

50 years later STILL telling lies.

liars with mortal sin will never get to heaven , their souls must suffer pain and burned in darkness for eternity...

One giant lie

50 years later, Nasa still can not go to the moon, and Nasa needs to keep laying about it. Pathetic.

It was a funny joke. You were fooled.

They forget to thank Stanley Kubrick for filming it
