Apollo 12 On-Board Animation 

One fewer than the crew had, lol.

We had a few cardiac arrests down here too Pete.

@@nguyendailam6703 There wasn't time for that up here.

They wouldn't even launch today because of the weather.

@@vulture4117 Nasa: *sees a slight mist in the sky* Also Nasa: scrubbs launch

@@vulture4117 they actually got hit by lightning...

To be clear, they got hit *twice*

@@vulture4117 yeah. As the Challenger disaster showed, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

It's called sharing!

@@psyclonyx true xD

Agree

Well, there it is. Incontrovertible evidence of the big hoax. I mean, geez, you can't argue with that logic.😂😂😂😂

@@Ed-eq8ui How about kicked up moon dust falling in a vacuum with 1/6th earth's gravity? Can't fake that. Not even in a vacuum chamber on earth.

@@Ed-eq8ui Clown.

@@lonegroover FYI, 2nd degree is not just a temperature. Ed even added a few 😂 for.. er... gentlemen like you.

The conspiracy theorists tend to be quite selective in their choice of “evidence” ... like ignoring how you would get the dust under the LEM landing jets to move outwards in neat straight lines.

Te comprendo yo hacia lo mismo. Yo simulaba una misión lunar y preparaba con mapas zonas de alunizaje, recorridos y me inventaba mis propios instrumentos científicos, de echo hice un diario con cada uno de los vuelos e hice participar amigos (11) del barrio y forme varias tripulaciones de misiones que yo les puse Apolo A, hubo 6 desde Apolo A1 a Apolo A6. Fueron desde Junio 1983 a Enero 1985, mis amigos a veces me miraban con curiosidad, llamadme raro pero para mi el programa Apolo me inspiro. Hoy guardo como el oro esos apuntes llenos de datos y los veo con nostalgia. Las 3 primeras misiones llevaban una especie de vehículo presurizado para recorrer largas distancias y las otras tres llevaban el Rover lunar sin presurizar. Si en aquellos años hubiera tenido la información de hoy en día lo habría echo mejor. Lo bueno de youtube es que veo que hay mucha gente que le gustan estos temas. Saludos desde Badajoz.

There it is, there it is, son of a gun, right down the middle of the road!

The animation time to animate the astronauts when the camera wasn't pointed at them would take a long time, though

@@CbassProductions yah didn’t thing of that using rigs is hard still if you ever consider it it might be easier than making a whole new animation

And if more people knew WHY he happened to know what to do when no one else did, he would be even MORE of a hero. The whole story is literally amazing and shows the value of simple curiosity.

@@larryk1865 I get goosebumps listening to him on any interview I can find! Kind of a man crush thing going on! Lol!

@@larryk1865 it was also awesome that Alan Bean KNEW where the switch WAS!

@@steveabq7913 Exactly!! In fact, Gerry Griffin, who was the flight director, came right back at Aaron when he made the call asking him "What panel?" meaning which panel # held the SCE switch. Griffin assumed that if HE didn't know where the damn switch was, it was quite likely the crew didn't know either. Alan Bean was on top of it!

Look for "Failure Is Not An Option A Flight Control History of NASA" here on youtube. Go to 1:06:45

For the most part, all of the early astronauts were test pilots, for this very reason. By training all test pilots are cool under pressure and don't panic - the last thing you want during stressful, life threatening and unpredictable events

They would have been just as cool, calm and collected all the way down into the ground. And giving status reports all the way. That was their training.

Bean did know that the switch was on his side of the panel, but it was EECOM Controller John Aaron who told CAPCOM to relay the switch throw to the crew. It was Aaron who had seen the glitch in training about a year before. It just shows that space missions are a real team effort

There was a small widow in the BPC above the commader's window as well.

@@CbassProductions Oh I didn't know that, thanks :)

@@CbassProductions Another nitpick is that this is what the Master Alarm actually sounds like: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f9INvTu-gOI.html

Yeah, I wondered about that. He was the only one to recognize what it meant.

During Apollo 12 the FDAI (Flight Director/Attitude Indicator) did in fact start spinning wildly. At the same time the ISS warning light came on (the red one on the lower left of the warning panel), which indicates a failure in the inertial measurement unit. Conrad knew he wasn’t spinning and was getting garbage data from the guidance platform to that indicator and reported “I just lost the platform”. The backup 8-ball, known as Gyro Display Coupler (GDC) pulled its data from different systems and continued to function and provided accurate data for the entire launch (“All I got’s the GDC”). Later in the audio recording the astronauts discussed whether they should lock up the FDAI to keep it from spinning before they could reset everything.

@@CbassProductions I stand corrected. Thank you. 😊

It wasn’t actually. The rocket was right on track, it was just the instruments gone completely crazy.

During staging they would have gone from about 4g peak acceleration, suddenly almost weightless, then 0.8g - so pretty difficult to reach over to the circuit breakers and operate them accurately during all that.
