Apollo 11 landing from PDI to Touchdown 

ICE COLD

Neil, Buzz, and Michael are God tier individuals

Doesn’t it seem strange that the lunar module left no marks on the surface when landing using propellant?

@@lukerosie6121 no, why

@@lukerosie6121 Yes, lots of strangeness, okay for no torch marks on regolith but should be clean of dust, thous no bootprints nearby.....

Slight correction: Virgil Grissom was the second American in space, not the second man in space.

There's a good chance it would have been Grissom making that landing and not Armstrong. Grissom was about to be the first "three-fer" US astronaut (i.e., flying on Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo) at the time of his death.

They were assassinated

Yeah because they wanted to carry the rock samples that's why they threw all the trash outside

And so many random useful things came about because of this, like velcro. They came up with the idea for velcro to keep things in place in zero G, you can't anticipate the kinds of randomly useful things that will come out of a space program like this.

And don't forget the feat of swearing more than 175,000 engineers, scientists, janitors, nurses, electricians, office managers, kitchen and metal workers to perpetual unbroken secrecy!

@@AlanCanon2222 Yeah that was would be totally plausible and possible. I do hope you're being sarcastic..

@@RoxusRemo Yes, of course I was being sarcastic (I understand nowadays you can't be too careful). The moon hoaxers really piss me off. Yes, we went the f*ck to the moon, nine times, six landings!

@@AlanCanon2222 I feel the same way about the Moon hoaxers. The stupidity I see in their "logic" when they try to state what they consider facts is just mind numbing!

Aramis7 How calm they seem. Probably wearing brown pants, just in case.

@@hopelessnerd6677 These guys are ace pilots, they really have a fundamentally different psychology that allows them to dispassionately remove themselves from the excitement of a situation and just methodically do their tasks like they have done 1,000 times in training. Straight up ice in the veins.

@rod auger Indeed.emotional. Now to your question: Most of them are idiots who think the moon landing was staged.They dont even watch the video,they just leave a dislike,write a stupid comment in their own low level IQ language and then they move on.

Flat earthers. Ignore those idiots.

This is also one of the better proof of the autenticity of the landing. There was no way that they could possibly fake 15 minutes of continuous scrolling of the lunar surface, let alone the dust that escapes in straight line as it can only do in a vacuum.

@@andreabindolini7452 They could have sent up a spacecraft up to the moon with cameras and camera men to fly within a few hundred feet of the surface so they record some film of the moon and then flown back to earth and used that footage to create a fake moon landing film.

@@OriginalgEd anyone that think such an absurdity is in real need of a psychiatric treatment.

At least they acknowledge the flub. Can't fault him for it, but it shouldn't be denied either.

Only Duke, Armstrong and Aldrin knew the name "Tranquility Base" would be used. Duke was told so he wouldn't be taken by surprise but the tension, relief and emotion must have been unbelievable!

In theater we say, "He forgot to act." Any actor can do it (I know I have). Imagine being CAPCOM sitting there contemplating the magnitude of what you yourself have just helped humanity accomplish, and then a second later remembering that it's still happening and you're front and center. These people were the best of the best, but no human being could be unmoved by what was happening, and this recording is proof. I was too young to remember this moment in history (only 8 months old), but watching these videos as I have done my entire life never fails to give me chills. WE know that everyone who went to the moon came back alive, but they didn't know it, not a bit of it.

Three wives also began breathing again.

On CBS’s live coverage with Walter Cronkite and Wally Schirra, Schirra lets out a great exhale when he hears “Engine stop.” He knows then that they made it.

you gave us an exact address?

I was only 7 months old, but watched it. I likely filled my diaper in celebration! haha

amsedelm Same here. It never gets old. My brother & I built all the Revell models, watched all the launches and we belonged to the “Man in Space” club. It was a great time to be a kid!

amsedelm how is this in real time??

The news had the audio live as it happened with a visual simulation. If that's what you mean.

@@Folma7 this viusal was never shown live. It was recorded on film and shown much later. All we got at the time was the audio. This was a film camera and not a tv camera.

I just want to know how can be live in 70 years ago according to technology.

Lunar liftoff is even more amazing...what if the button did nothing ??? Too bad is not very documented;)

srinitaaigaura I’ve noticed that before. You think they still must be at significant altitude just before they touch down, due to all the small craters that on Earth would have smoothed over through weathering. Another thing I’ve heard Apollo Astronauts say is they found it very difficult to judge distances when on moonwalks or in the rover. This was due to the horizon being so much closer because the Moon is so much smaller than the Earth. There’s all these subtle cues that you’re conditioned to use when navigating the world.

If KSP has taught me anything, it's that your shadow is your friend. It's not exact, but it sure helps give you an idea of how high up you are.

I was thinking "woah, the craters are self-similar. Fractal..."

@srintaaigaura Because it's fake.

I believe that was actually part of the criteria for landing windows, was a requirement for the sun to be near the horizon rather than directly above so that shadows on the landscape would be more pronounced to help with the landing.

Cause theorists are plain stupid and ignorant

welcome back :) see you in 2020 x

@@robmccluskey6906 Holy cow you timed that down to the minute! You must have set a notification alarm in your command module uhh I mean your iPhone.

bible history science - I sense a great deal of inner conflict/confusion.

Mr Curly, sorry to hear that. I hope you get over it soon.

In your name I mean. You have the bible and science in your name!!! Which is it?

Mr Curly, Claims that one needs to choose between faith in God and adherence to science because they’re in conflict is a recent novelty. If you believe the Philosophy of Religion and Philosophy of Science are mutually exclusive in some way, then perhaps you don’t understand them well enough because they’re not. Basically speaking, science concerns discoveries in the physical universe, religion the spiritual universe. You may choose to become an adherent of either or both disciplines, but whatever you choose it’s necessary to study demarcation or else you’ll certainly cross the line and mix the two. Many atheists make that mistake when they choose science and reject religion because they believe the one has falsified the other, what some people refer to as “scientism” which is ironically a religious cult. In fact, it’s as impossible to falsify the religion using the scientific method as it is to verify the scientific method using the scientific method. The books of the Bible contain sacred, revealed eternal truths and requires God’s assistance to even begin to understand. On the other hand, scientific research papers contain facts, hypotheses and theories which are so transient that some things that are now claimed to be nearly indisputable would have been laughed at a generation ago and will be laughed at a generation from now (which is as it should be).

AND LYING TOO. MICHAEL COLLINS SUPPOSEDLY ORBITING THE MOON DID NOT SEE STARS ? THAT'S WHAT HE SAID AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE AFTER RETURNING? WHAT KIND OF BULL SHIT IS THIS ? WHEN HE WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOON ( DARK SAIDE ) HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE STARS FROM CSM FOR THE SUN WAS NOT AN OBSTRUCTION TO THE INTENSITY OF STAR LIGHT. UNLESS HE WAS IN EARTH ORBIT AND NEVER GOT CLOSE TO THE MOON. ephemetherson

Couldn't agree more, and to think how common this occurs with other engineering marvels and scientific breakthroughs. One can only simply ignore these folk. "Do not argue with a fool. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience."

Especially Russian patriots consider all flights fake

I’ve done a ton of research into this. It seems impossible to fake but there are some seriously sketchy details including how this thing landed without leaving a mark on the surface, and who was controlling the camera left on the moon when they launched from the moon back home? E.T perhaps??

@@lukerosie6121 The rover filmed the ascend. Not sure if you’re trolling but clearly you didn’t research enough.

@@suganmn right okay and who controlled the pan and zoom of camera in real time? Also you forgot to address how something can land on a dusty surface and leave no marks whatsoever, then when a human steps on the same surface he leaves a big footprint. I’ve done plenty of research thanks. Maybe you should take your head out of your ass. Herd mentality springs to mind here

In every group, you need a joker to lighten the mood, I believe that's how they portrayed him in First Man too

If you haven't seen First Man yet, that will give you lots of chills too!

I just hope that the audio was edited. How did Houston respond so fast when it takes light (and radio waves) 1 1/2 seconds to get to the moon? 14:33 There definitely was not three seconds between "Tranquility Base here, The Eagle has landed" and "roger Tranquility, we copy you on the ground". What's up with that?

@@hyperluminalreality1 the audio was recorded on the ground (Earth). Therefore no delay since it is recorded from our perspective.

Check out "13 Minutes to the Moon" podcast. It is insane! Just finished hearing again recently.

Yeah I remember but it' was fake now that i come too see 55 years later because if we do the math The Apollo 11 could not have reached the moon in four days and come back after eight days Orion estimated for 2022 will take 4 to 6 weeks to complete the mission☝️

It's amazing isn't it? We need to start doing that again.

If and when we do go back to the moon it won't be done using fifty year old technology that's for sure.

... with slide rules no less.

Sir, I hate to disagree with anyone. However, you've erred in that Columbus did not burn his ships, that action was by Hernán Cortés, and it wasn't for any of the projection you've made, it was to make a second mutiny a pointless exercise. At this point in history the concept of "Burning Your Ships" is quite the opposite of your point. In the case of Cortés it told his men that the decision over what they were doing was finished, and that there was no turning back. As to your comment about Columbus journeys being "effortless" I believe that's either poor understanding of what took place, or exaggerated hyperbole.

ᚱᛰUᛠӖᚱ ᚦᗩӖϻᛰᚤ They just dismantled the rockets. Getting 250,000 miles through a vacuum environment is a little different from getting a couple thousand miles over ocean with breathable air.

Probably more. The lander experienced excessive slosh in its propellant tanks which is thought to have triggered the low-level light early. When they landed, they had 20 seconds remaining in their count to the 'Bingo' call. That count had been planned to give them 20 seconds remaining at the call, using the more conservative measurement system on the spacecraft. That means they had about 40 seconds by their early call and likely had a lot more had the slosh not occurred.

he didn't do much controlling really. the LM was fly by wire and he was just able to add some external input to the mostly computer controlled descent.

@@Agarwaen That was only true in P64 mode down to about 600 feet. Below that they switched to P66 mode at which point the commander was in manual control and he flew it in for the landing. Autothrottle was the only thing that the computer was controlling at that point, the commander had full control of the attitude and thus the direction of the spacecraft. There is also a misconception that Neil Armstrong was the only one who manually landed, actually all six of the commanders did.

And you know this because?

I was 16 and three quarters :) I watched it in Hertford, England at my sister's house. I rode off on my Lambretta scooter in the morning, sun shining, no helmet, cos you didn't have to then and of course at that age I was immortal.

I was 8 years old, and I felt awesome, just to be witnessing it!

I was about 20 when I woke up to the fact that man can't reach the moon alive.

@@codypolar6593 correction, you were 20 when you gave up all of logic and reasoning that was left in your pitiful life.

Shut up, it was easy to deceive folks in 1969 because there was no high tech in those day's and ya got fooled easily, my grandpa saw this in 69 and even he said to me years later before he passed, that broadcast didn't smelled good to me, a lot of things didn't make sense to me, grandpa said.

@@jedistreaming4006 I DON'T GET FOOLED BY NASA OR MUCH MORE BY YOU ! ephemetherson

@@erickaminski1472 it wasn't ment towards you, I know you don't believe this illusion by NASA.

@Erik Kaminski, goddamn you’ve spent a lot of time bullshitting in the comments. Just stfu already. Millions of people will remember Neil Armstrong for centuries to come. I doubt very many people will remember you.

you might have seen this on tv, but not during the actual landing.

They had more than 20 seconds of fuel left. It is still "down to the wire", but what is actually the case is that mission protocol would have forced an abort of the landing had they used another 20 seconds of fuel. It's not like the engine would have stalled out at that 20 second mark. What would have happened had they used 20 more seconds of fuel is they would have started the abort sequence which would have required burning more fuel in the descent stage and ultimately firing the ascent module up - with a full tank of fuel and aborting the landing to get back into orbit and rendezvous with the command module and come home. There was no real danger of "running out of gas". It never would have gotten to that point (per planning anyway).

Further to Willoughby Kretzeinburg's explanation, it was determined after the flight that excessive sloshing of propellant had likely triggered the low-level sensor early. It seems likely that they had much more propellant available to them than was indicated by the Bingo countdown.

True. As I recall baffles were added into the propellant tanks on the LM for Apollo 12 to prevent the propellants from sloshing around.

Joe Vignolo, the baffles that were retrofitted to Apollo 12 (think ship in a bottle) proved not to be very effective and that mission's descent also had excessive slosh. The result was a lot of RCS firing during the descent which Pete Conrad commented upon.

@butchtropic Not just for sloshing - they had two inside the LOX tanks, one focussed on the top (for surface effects and sloshing/harmonics) and another at the bottom of the tank where the drains were, to make sure that any turbopump failures could be diagnosed after the fact, and to monitor swirling at the inlets. It was also used to help diagnose the POGO issue, which was solved by the secondary valves at the tank rather than the turbopump end of the drain tube.

they're the best of the best. i highly recommend reading "The right stuff" by Tom Wolfe

Neal Montgomery Many thanks for your good words. For your information, I'm David Woods, a Scot who was just bowled over by the whole Apollo story. I created the Apollo Flight Journal (AFJ) as a companion to the astounding Apollo Lunar Surface Journal. I also wrote a book on Apollo packed with stories with a more technical leaning - How Apollo Flew to the Moon, now in its second edition.

Apollo 11 - Apollo Flight Journal I loved your book and have read it 4 times. Thanks for teaching me so much and in such an interesting way.

Me too. One of the highlights of my personal interest in Apollo was meeting Gene Kranz in person about 10 years ago. While everybody was mobbing the astronauts (including Neil Armstrong), I noticed Kranz standing almost entirely by himself. I went over, introduced myself and had a great conversation.
