"I'd go to the moon in a nanosecond. The problem is we don't have that technology anymore. We used to, but we destroyed that technology and it's a painful process to build it back again" ~Don Pettit, NASA Astronaut. Too bad they recorded 2001: A Space Odessey over the telemetry tapes. shucks.
@@jefffuhr2393 Oh that smarts.I think I’ll join Collin’s in the module.I believe they’ve just finished the iTune clip so he must be feeling great,old,but great.What a great job…………
July 20, 1969, memorable because the Apollo 11 crew of Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin landed The Eagle on The Sea of Tranquility, but also because it was my parents 12th Wedding Anniversary. We had to rent a TV to watch the landing, and Neil's famous walk down the ladder, but Michael Collins was also in our thoughts as he solo circled the Moon. He was the unsung hero of the journey to our nearest celestial neighbor, and he did his job perfectly. So well in fact, that he hardly got noticed. Like being a good referee in a football game. If they do it right, no one notices.
He seemed to me to be the biggest creep the other 2 never wanted to speak looked angry embarrassed ashamed that's how I knew they never stepped on the Moon they might have done now However not then
@@Elfrida-ls2mo no , they still haven't , did you get a chance to watch the top N.A.S. A scientist when he gave a talk a few yrs. ago about going to mars?, in short he basically said they would have to "rediscover" the secret of how we went to the moon first, pretty cryptic speech if you ask me , in other words they don't know how they managed to go thru the van allen radiation belt , their public appearances were a dead giveaway that they were hiding something they were forced to not say , being basically honorable men .
How clever of God to have Theia come along at just the right time. He's so thoughtful that way. Maybe someday he'll get around to doing something about the 14,000 children who die each day from sickness, malnutrition, and misadventure.
If you started placing one dollar bills on top of each other, the US debt stack would reach to the moon and back ten times. So you don't really need spaceships to reach the moon, all you need is the US debt and to be a good climber?
Unlike a cell phone, it re-booted immediately to resume flight navigation such as descent speed. Today's phones, the astronauts would be dead waiting for it's OS to load.
Not true. The number crunching was done on the ground by super computers (super for the time). The computers on the LEM and CM were, largely , I/O devices capable of limited calculations. They had some Nav issues due to the turnaround time needed to number crunch the telemetry.
At that point in time and as far as we know, Collins was the first human that traveled the furthest from Earth ever. Did I miss the answer to the question, The moon is not what you think? What is it then?
Mr. Collin’s was a true hero behind the moon landing. He was in total control of the Columbia, one little missed calculation would have been the end of all Three men. Imagine being all alone while 2 of your friends were on the surface of the moon. And you were in charge of getting them back on board safely. Wow. Just imagine that time alone??
So wierd how they just haven't been able to make it back up there since the 1960s because technology hasn't been improving year by year at all or anything.
@@wingmannj they literally say they just cannot do that anymore. how about tourism? better shots? experiments? money laundering? wtf you're talking about
Let us stop wasting millions and million of dollars trying to go into outer space where we could not really exist. Let us start using that money to start fixing things here on earth that really matter and help mankind.
So the space shuttle loses a little piece of exterior heat tile and disintegrates but that old beer can from the 60’s made it through the radiation, landed on the moon, took off, had no problem with the reentry heat and splashed down in the water exactly where it was supposed to. The second greatest story ever told.
Michael "Mike" Collins (October 31, 1930 - April 28, 2021) was an American astronaut who flew the Apollo 11 command module Columbia around the Moon in 1969 while his crewmates, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, made the first crewed landing on the surface. He was also a test pilot and major general in the U.S. Air Force Reserve.
I remember within months after the Moon landing someone pointed out the first three men on earth were Adam, Abel and Cain. The first men to go to the Moon were Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins...AAC. Interesting how God works out those details.
@@carlosidelone8064Are you out of your mind? God is outside of time , ageless and infinite!!! Not only does HE know every time a sparrow falls from a tree but HE knows what every atom is doing in the whole universe at once and from beginning to end, so yes, every minute detail is part of HIS plan. Try to wrap your head around that.
Isn't it amazing that the astronauts went to the Moon and returned to Earth (240,000 miles) - without refueling. They literally achieved the impossible.
once you have a certain speed the gravity is zero und you stay at that speed, you don't need much fuel. The moon has 1/6 Earth-Gravity and no atmosphere so you need waaaaaay less energy to flee from Moon-Gravity.
Collins, being alone in orbit, must have had just as much stress to be there to pick up Buzz & Armstrong upon the return trip. Everyone's job was crucial.
Don't you just love the new CGI images of the moon and the landing module on the moon? Wow, that command module must have had some really high-tech modern cameras on it and in it in 1969, almost as if they were just made last week!!!
You'd be surprised at the tech floating around in 1969. Most of it we never heard of, kind of like a one off. Some, like microwave ovens, got better and stuck around. Some, like mobile phones got way smaller. Other things, like Teflon, had properties that stayed undiscovered for decades. Until we became alarmed about forever chemicals that were showing up in the environment in ever increasing amounts. Others, like GPS were developed before the tech to manufacture it as it is today even existed. And the classified stuff will probably never be known. What you described of the lunar module leaving the moon was a camera on a tripod left behind. The shot of Armstrong descending the ladder was from a set of gimbaled cameras attached to the LEM to film the touchdown on the moon as it landed, one camera on the x axis, and the other on the z axis. No cameraman left behind. There's no air on the moon, but it does have gravity which will cause objects to be given a bit of acceleration within a radius. When one unfurls a mylar flag on a staff, the flag unfurling will accelerate the flag as the moon's gravity pulls it down. When it unfurls completely, it has momentum gained from the gravity and will swing back and forth once, maybe twice and then settle. Like on the film taken as they set the American flag on the moon. Momentum, not air currents made that flag wave just once.
They followed orders...did they see ET artifacts ? and others deduced the moon was a hollow artificial satellite put into earth orbit by advanced beings
That clinches it for me. Having described how difficult it would be to get two objects to meet up while orbitting a huge body, I am now even more convinced that they had no chance with the technlogy they had at the time. In fact I doubt they could do it today.
If they were not jumping around on the moon like a trampoline, and simply walked on it- I'd probably have believed it. Even as a boy i was intelligent enough to know that the moon is not at a 23° angle on the horizon, and having 1/6th earth's gravity, youd be able to walk on it, with no difficulty.
With 1/6 of the gravity, a human being would be capable to jump more than 2 m high from the stand. Even with their spacesuits and backpacks they would still be able to jump more than 1 m high. There is a rare NASA training video where the moon gravity has been simulated on earth by a pull up system. It's an eye-opener. The difference between what we should have seen and what we saw could not be more striking. 🌛
Look for evidence that the conspiracy claims are invalid. It's hard to do this - you risk finding you've been conned by conspiracists, but you may be courageous enough.
Hey, diddle, diddle, The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon. ~ Mother Goose.
THEY RECORDED ALL THAT FOOTAGE BUT DIDNT RECORD THE EARTH RISING ON THE MOON ???? you would think that would be something they would want to get on film!! lol
I can only imagine the loneliness and fear he must have experienced as he rounded the back side of the moon. What would he see? What if something attacked his vessel? What if he crashed?
he was a quarter of a million miles away from his home planet while his two flat mates walked on that planet's satellite. All of them faced the very real prospect of a malfunction and never getting home. Assuming the whole thing is true in the first place. You give us a break.
I've not been to the moon but I imagine it's quite nice. Complete lack of air, huge temperature variations and no trees isn't a big selling point but I would make the best of it.
In the meantime we need affordable loans, land, and less restrictions so we can live our best lives and be righteous. The Rejected Cornerstone Remember to carry the ONE
Yes, the majority of us are like Michael Collin’s…the unsung heroes behind success. We should change are philosophy about humanity’s successful accomplishments.
@@mynameisGail Rumor? has it there is an ancient library of gold books in a cave somewhere. Neil Armstrong went on an expedition to find them. Look it up please.
0:44 The most famous view of earth from the moon. Earth being (taught as) 100 times bigger than the moon would mean that we are too dumb to understand relative perspectives.
Can't believe that 50 plus years later some people are still taking the moon landings seriously. But then 2020 came along and I understood mankind's stupidity and naivety.
The dimensions of the astronaut in the suit are larger than the opening for exiting the lunar module. Kodak, whose films were used by NASA, said that in 1969 they did not have film that could withstand the temperature difference on the Moon.
Kodak said no such thing. Rather, they produced a film specifically designed to deal with temperature issues: moonhoaxdebunked.blogspot.com/2017/07/81-wouldnt-camera-films-have-melted-on.html As for the size of the suits, the astronauts rehearsed every step of the journey and landing, so it would have been obvious on day one! Sorry, but you've looked for validation of your conspiracy beliefs, rather than looking at the facts.
So the CM was traveling at spectacular speed to maintain orbit, we all saw the Luna module lift off, do u honestly think it was able to match the speed of CM?
Michael had the best chance of returning to earth buzz and Neil were on a satellite with an engine that because of its combustion could not be tested then put into the module to return them to the command module, so they were unsure if it would fire up and Michael was told to return to earth himself
Interesting that conspiracy theorists tend to subscribe to almost every conspiracy theory - even when some contradict others! Think about why you need to feel superior to people who know far more than you about this subject.
Why did they do the Orion project if we had really went to the room? The lead engineer said that they were sending that pod through the Van Allen Belt, to make sure they don't hurt or kill the astronauts or damage the equipment. The video is out there don't take my word.
We have a frightening future where the ignorant dominate. When people decide that their views on any subject are more important than all the evidence then we need to be concerned.
In 2003 we 'suddenly forgot' how to transport 100 rich people supersonically across the Atlantic drinking champagne on 1960/70s technology..... Oh actually, we did...
The most silent part of this astronauts journey.... “COLLINS- He was never recognised as the First Human to be the furthest and singularly most isolated Person from the Earth Ever!? And that is a Unique Entry for The History Of Earth Archives. What a hero!? ❤
@@patbrennan6572 Now we cannot for at least another 10 years because we don’t know how to get a man 1000 miles from the Earth. Yet 50 years ago with computer technology 100000000 times less than a cell phone. They did it six times successfully! Seriously who’s on the meds?
What I can’t understand is how anyone could experience the marvel and fear as they float in the dark void of space and not come back with an excited yet fearful respect for God. How anyone could believe all this formed out of nothing is beyond me.
If you are one of gods chosen people, then why did he make the universe? All he needed to create was our solar system, so why create the other (according to estimates) 2 Trillion stars? So either he went "slightly overboard" with his creation or there are many more of "gods children" scattered throughout the known universe. Just curious as to which of those potential possibilities do you believe?
I don't think the word universe is in the Bible. He separated the waters with an expanse. A space between the waters above and the waters below. That water is called outer space bc it is outside of the space. The stars are inside the space along with the moon, sun, and wandering stars, which are called planets. I can look at the sun and moon in the sky together and know I'm being lied to. I can watch a butterfly not affected by gravity, which cannot be proven in a lab, and know I'm being lied to. I can look at the degradation of mankind and figure out that evil is at play.
If you believe Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon's surface in July 1969 then you have passed the conformity test, but failed the intelligence test...
@@jamesdaniels9418you may question this theory but there is a plethora of evidence that points to an ‘un-natural’ origin to the moon. There is a ton of unexplained things about the moon when compared to other moons around the other planets. So make fun as much as you want, but if your wrong, eat crow.
