@@Nisar_clips NASA engineer? Don Pettit?

Yeah to see these conspiracy answers that NASA is too professional to face.

Probably either 2016-2017, since they're promoting his new (at the time) book No Dream Is Too High (2016). Might be old-ish but the latest interview I've been able to find. Probably not easy to get interviewed after 90.

It’s quite clear he meant there wasn’t a scary moment, not that they didn’t go to the moon

there's a documentation for that?

The problem is that disinformation merchants love to get unintelligent people biting on any old conspiracy idea by throwing out a clip or quote taken out of context. ..and then add the context that they want you to believe. . and those idiots ...believe it.

@@0nshore The 'It' in the sentence meant the journey (to the moon). Read again.

He meant he wasn't scared.

Why does this even need explaining? O'Brien claimed to have watched *_the landing_* live. Aldrin was being his typical facetious and pedantic self pointing out that no one watched the landing live as there was obviously no camera on the lunar surface to capture it which is why TV networks/stations used animation to supplement for it. The landing was filmed from the interior of the LM via a 16mm data camera, but this was not broadcast live at the time.

It's already been answered, but, I'll add: Conan said that his family watched the landing live on TV. Aldrin correctly said that Conan was wrong, because there was no live TV camera during the landing. They only had a 16mm DAC film camera facing out the window for the landing. This means that you can't watch live, because you need to wait until the film gets home to get developed before anybody can see it. So, what did the broadcasters do? They played the live audio, but, for video, they created landing animations ahead of time. Go watch a few of them. They're right here on RU-vid. They are cartoonish animations of the landing sequence, which they played during the landings. The live TV camera wasn't set up until after they landed.

That’s what I’m saying!

Then you would have to join a long queue of idiots wanting to ask him lots of equally stupid questions.

​@@eckyhenright, like the little girl that asked him why nobody had been back to the moon in such a long time? His response? Because we didn't go there, and that's the way that it happened. Keep believing in fairytales, even when they put the truth in plain sight. Lol.

No, Aldrin still would have flamed the MIG's ass

Buzz would have dusted a Russian with a blink of his eye .

Right an experienced well trained Russian would been bigger challenge.

Yep manned experiments can be done in orbit for much less and the rest can be done by space probe

You can’t smell in space either

Because soil and rock samples were returned to the LM which was subsequently pressurised. Also, the suits were covered in regolith. Why is it even necessary to explain this?

I presume because when you get back in the LM you inevitably have the static-charged lunar dust all over you

The astronauts all commented about the smell of the rocks and dust. First of all, their suits were covered in it when they got back inside the lunar module. Once they filled the cabin back up with oxygen and removed their helmets, yeah, they could smell it easily. Secondly, all of them had a chance to later handle the rocks back on Earth. Not all of them. Some of them still today remain in vacuum chambers. But, some of them were removed from their air-tight containers and handled.

because it never happened. if he had dust all over him, the lunar lander would never even seal

It means they usually have left school at 14 or 15 years old and now work as construction labourers, food service workers or are unemployed.

I live here in Sydney Australia. 33 years. I am Australian more than a New Zealander now. Believe me it's hard to live here , i am getting very angry about the situation here, there are statistics about Australia and its DNA structure, and how it reflects in how so many are on an internal level, and knowledge base that is highly questionable. Anyone from other countries who move here find its hard, the storys of endless people coming here especially by themselves to live and try to start a new friendships, especially now, forget it. You can search for personal information about this subject.

Funny how buzz says that the moon smells like charcoal , and ash ? Because you can Smell that even with breathing apparatus. The war that they had millions of years ago, is a massive graveyard. No one is allowed to return

@@grantbailey6748 They could smell the dust in the Lunar Module when they removed their helmets.. There was no War on the Moon, give up the crack

I’m Australian & proud to be one and where do you get your facts?

Lahey you drunk again?!

@@TheBronzeCookie say you're pretty handsome. Know where a feller could get a little drinky poo around here bud?

Because his conscience for telling lies was eating him m apart!

Total fraud and liar.

@@skittlesdawnlane6506 Easily said.....Now provide the proof.

@@garnet4846 Easily said.....Now provide the proof.

@@TheWokeFlatEarthTruth it's in the video with the little girl. "Why has nobody been back to the moon in such a long time?" Boozy buzz " Because we didn't....go there, and that's the way it happened." Truth in plain sight.

what

@@adamblair8775 The Radio Telescope used to broadcast the First step and EVA was located in a town named Parkes, it's in Australia

...that would be jewelery. rings and arm bands that he's wearing.

All astronauts say the same thing. They all smelled the same smell of burnt charcoal as soon as they took off their spacesuits and everything was covered in moon dust. Inside the lunar lander, of course.

@@wimkuijpers1342 i wonder how the vacuum of space didn't suck up the air inside the lunar module when they opened the door. or is there an atmosphere on the moon even though it doesnt have trees? or it's all a big Lie

@@coryleblanc In the same way as divers exiting or entering a submarine.

@@coryleblanc the moon doesnt have an atmosphere, the gravity is too weak to hold gas molecules to it.

@@adamblair8775 you know there's dust in space, right? allegedly

Because rock and soil samples were transferred into the LM. Why is it even necessary to explain this?

@@yassassin6425 didn’t happen though did it

@@kennysinclair3851 Yeah it did didn't it. The fact that you know absolutely nothing about it is neither here nor there. Doesn't stop you people commenting though.

@@yassassin6425 hahaha lovely. You people.

@@kennysinclair3851 hahaha lovely. You people.

You're absolutely right, that quote mining is hilarious. Would you like me to place it in context for you?

When the entirety of your understanding of the world's biggest single program in human history is boiled down to less than a minute, yeah, of course you'll "ahahahaha" over it. But, watch out, your stupidity is showing.

If you are genuinely begging to know, then don't seek your answers in junk conspiracy theory. Well first of all, they didn't go inside a 'tin can'. Saying that, alpha particle radiation can be blocked using a piece of paper. Secondly, they are belts - since there are two, with a third that is transitory. The belts consist of diffuse toroidal volumes around the Earth's equator within which radiation levels are elevated by the planet's magnetic field trapping charged particles from the sun. The inner torus is populated by energetic protons which they passed through in mere minutes and against which the hull of the CM was an effective shield. The hull of an Apollo command module rated 7 to 8 g/cm2. The craft took an hour and a half to traverse the more extensive outer torus but this region has mainly low energy electrons and so was less of a concern to mission planners. Also the inclination of the trajectory being in the plane of the Moon's orbit avoided the strongest regions of the belts near the equator. The Van Allen belts are no threat to astronauts passing through them at tens of thousands of miles per hour. Early probes enabled us to calculate, whilst Apollo dosimeters confirmed, that astronaut exposure from belt passage was roughly the same as a chest x-ray. Exposure for the entire trip to the moon was equivalent to from one to three mammograms, or half the annual exposure of residents of Denver CO. Thirdly, what do you mean "less technology than a common ordinary everyday cell phone"? What technology was lacking? Cell phones don't get you to the moon. Regarding computing alone, the AGC was a brilliant piece of kit. It was purpose-built, and did what was required incredibly well. It also could handle overloads by resetting itself without losing the instruction stack it had, which was prewritten onto rope core memory and would re prioritise those commands on the fly. This was also supported by the Real-Time Computer Complex (RTCC) which was an IBM computing and data processing system at NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. The mainframe collected, processed and sent to Mission Control the information needed to direct every phase of an Apollo/Saturn mission. It computed what the space vehicle was doing and compared that with what it should be doing. RTCC worked in real-time -- so fast, there was virtually no time between receiving and solving a computing problem. IBM 7094-11 computers were used in the RTCC during NASA's Gemini program and on the first three Apollo/Saturn missions. Later, IBM System/360 Model 75J mainframes, plus peripheral storage and processing equipment, were employed. Two computers were used during a mission: one was primary; the other operated identically but as standby. So everything that you are "begging to know" you could have established for yourself had you either the will or the capability to do so. And what do you mean "we are all"? Don't project your ignorance onto others.

So? How badly were you "begging for an answer," if you got your answer, but ran for the hills? Somehow, I think you weren't expecting an answer at all. And, you proudly were putting emojis into your post, as if you thought the entire world's aerospace engineers couldn't figure out what you think you figured out. Right? You weren't really begging for anything, were you?

So tell us what else you don't know about Apollo

So the Apollo missions were on ballistic trajectories, you know that don't you? Well because of this they passed through the belt extremely quickly, not enough time to damage human beings but they were extremely worried it would effect the controls but they passed through that quickly it didn't even damage any controls. When you are going that fast, it does not effect anything. And there is the answer. Now you are going to scream and shout because you never did any research on this. All you have done is watch conspiracy video's ( I doubt you even read books) that ignore facts and only say what you want to hear. Sorry pal but that's the truth. No conspiracy.

Go back to school and try to catch up on all the stuff you apparently missed.

i'm guessing depressurizing the ship before they opened the door to match the pressure outside as much as possible to prevent that.

There is no pressure on the moon since it is essentially a vacuum and has no atmosphere. Before the LM hatch was opened the cabin was depressurised.

"Lunar module Cabin Relief and Dump Valves." There were two of them, one on the front door, and one on the docking door. If you look at the images, you'll find schematics for how they worked, and you can see the yellow and black handles. They "slowly" (relatively) released the pressure. Then, they could open the door once all of the oxygen was released.

Lies

@@kyragerber7468 What precisely are you referring to? and could you point out where? Thanks.

Probably all the guilt from lying about going to the moon.

​@@ShaniTheBurningTreeThey made it to the moon. There was no lie. You probably believe the earth is flat and that we live in the center and there is a firmament. 😂😂😂😂

Probably from being forced to keep secret seeing aliens lol but for real maybe. On a side note who are you to judge?

Well, your view is a little bit slanted, but, probably about 80% accurate. Note: one insignificant thing you got wrong is that Aldrin was in one of the Transformers movies, as well as about a dozen other bits in various sitcoms or movies. So, you were incorrect about him having only one screen appearance. But, that's not really important. As for being disliked, yeah, there's no secret there. Virtually none of the astronauts liked him. He had Lovell and Armstrong as his two commanders because Slayton thought they were the only two that could handle him. "Overbearing" was one good adjective to use about him. He almost undoubtedly has Asperger's, which makes him socially awkward. He didn't have ill intent, but, yeah, most of the astronauts felt that Aldrin thought he was better than everyone else. The thing is, yeah, he was indeed awfully darned good, probably the best technical astronaut they had. And, you could say that he let that go to his head, and yeah, it probably did. His arrogance was pretty dominant. And, yeah, Slayton nearly kicked him off of Apollo 11. But, he figured that Aldrin would be the best man for the job if they needed to navigate back home without functioning computers or something. My wife and I were having breakfast with him once at an astronaut event (I'm not an astronaut, I was just attending the event), and Jim Lovell walked up and asked to sit down. I got the vibe that the two of them hadn't spoken in a long time, and Lovell was reaching out to eat with us as a sign of peace, being that they were old Gemini crewmates. But, that turned quickly. Aldrin started gouging into Lovell for the mistakes in the "Apollo 13" Ron Howard movie (Lovell was technical advisor). And, yeah, pretty soon, it was a one-way conversation with Aldrin arguing about gauge readings and stuff (I know the details, but, I'm skipping them here), saying that Lovell was advising Howard wrongly. And, all Lovell could say (repeatedly) was "that's not how I remembered it." But, ironically, I think Aldrin was probably correct, and Lovell was wrong about his own details. In subsequent times I've met Lovell, I never asked him about Aldrin, nor did I bring up that breakfast. Nothing really had to be said, but, yeah, I pretty much assume Lovell regretted sitting down. Yeah, the word "tact" isn't in Aldrin's vocabulary. Well, at least not 15 years ago (that's about the time that this breakfast happened). Personally, I cut the guy a lot more slack, a bit like I cut Michael Jordan slack for treating people like he did on the basketball court. Having the "I'm better than you" attitude is indeed pretty annoying, but, when they can back it up (like Jordan on the basketball court), I don't get as annoyed. Not that I'm saying Jordan (nor Aldrin) are "nice guys." No, that's not what I'm saying. But, personally, I don't hold ill will, and, I've always been extremely grateful for the amount of times Aldrin has sat down with me to answer my million questions, etc. I don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Cool story bro, and that's all that it is.

Project Artemis sends its regards.

Because it never happened

@@realeyes3j125 Oh look, what an original account name. No conspiratorial clichés there then. Yet another self-proclaimed online 'truther' that wouldn't recognise the truth if it stole their wallet, slept with their partner, burnt their house down, shot their dog and slapped them around the face while doing it. What "never happened" precisely? Go on, enlighten us all.

@@yassassin6425 you know so much you should already know. And your name is any better? Like it has to do with anything. You just have a hateful soul, go on with your self.

The whole Apollo programme was shut down because it was costing the American taxpayers billions. All the contractors who were supplying the tens of thousands of different parts needed stopped making them so the technology was lost I just don't get why some people can't understand this.

The same reason flags on the Earth don't float off into space.

@thefriendlyranger5718 sounds like a brainy for u know what,, don't attack me for what scientists said,, attack them if u don't have proper answers

The moon has gravity, and for this reason the flag (or any other object) doesn't float upward.

Name the "scientists" who ever said that the flags on the moon should float.

Scientists don't say that, you just made it up

No moon denier.

Dr James Van Allen was asked how the astronauts got through it. Do you want to read his answer? Three astronauts did swear on a Bible that they walked on the moon. Do you know who they were?

Hahhaa.. Enjoy your paranoia.. If it didnt happen the Russians would have exposed it.

You must be very smart..... you dont die from going through the van allen belt, it takes 20 min... You go on the beach right? Did you die from radiation? No?.....

Dont think a Christian would do that, 3 Atheists did, Alan Bean was not sure of passing those deadly storing belts, unlike beach good idea to chose your path.

What did you expect to hear? More of what you already believe?

@amandagoodman7547 Why he should waste his time for some trash?

prove it

​@@geoffbirchall7552 no the burden of proof is on you to prove you are not a liar.

If you're going to accuse someone of being a liar the burden is on you to provide proof otherwise you are guilty of defamation.

did he fixate on humans living abroad?

yeah conspiracy

They all took their helmets off when inside the lunar module. After being on the surface, their suits were covered in dust, and the smell was very clear to all 12 of the moonwalkers, who have all commented on it.

You are absolutely correct, you are a blockhead

Mr BlockHead is having a DUH moment. 🤣

Mr Antonio ◁==== Vindictive troll. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Maybe it went thru the ozone layer remember when that was a big issue 😂another lie we were told 😂funny how they don’t talk about that anymore

Newsflash! Radio transmission...it's a thing. Bloke called Marconi, 1895, may have passed you by. Landline + Existing microwave network + radio patch + giant f**k off radio telescope dish = signal to the moon. Why is it even necessary to explain this to someone in the 21st century?

@@jax993 *_"Maybe it went thru the ozone layer remember when that was a big issue 😂another lie we were told 😂funny how they don’t talk about that anymore"_* What the hell are you on about? The ozone layer isn't a barrier to spaceflight. The 'big issue' that you refer to was its depletion. However since the inauguration of the 1987 Montreal Protocol to phase out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances such as CFCs, it is expected to have fully healed within the next two decades. And yes, there is a large volume of scientific literature and current discourse dedicated to the ozone layer.

Surely you can't be that stupid. OK I know it is meant to be sardonic but maybe you should find out how the telephone call was patched through to the radio link from Houston to the moon. What makes it so difficult for you to understand. I know moon hoaxers are not the sharpest tools but really?

You do not understand how a phone call can be patched into a radio network?..............Seriously???? Also please explain how the frequencies used in the Unified S Band system of 2025-2120 MHz (uplinks) and 2200-2290 MHz (downlinks) are going to be effected by the radiation between Earth and Moon. Also please enlighten us on what "technology" do we lack "for a man to survive leaving Earth's orbit". Please give us your evidence and do not post and ghost like so many others do. Take care.
