Brilliant comment. Exactly!

I think this moment inspired George Lucas.

Average age of NASA Mission Control.... 28 years old.

"I know all your lives' work is finally complete, so is mine, but we still have PEOPLE on the MOON and if there is any miscommunication, they might DIE so please be so kind as to SHUT UP" Except, you know, with more tact.

@@leatherneck818 One of them sounds about 14!

SimplyReg I'm not quite as old but I agree this track is fucking awesome.

SimplyReg I am the same age as you and also an old punk. Listen to "The Other Side" - it will transport you back to the last 60's sitting in your living room watching the first manned lunar orbit on TV and it will make you cry,

bigHCTID I'm only 18 but it makes my eyes water every time I listen to it!

SimplyReg I'm 53 and love this song.

SimplyReg 53 here and absolutely love this!

That sound like a perfect moment in time to be a part of that!

I saw these guys randomly at a festival here in Australia, and was so suprised when I heard their sound

I love it! It's so atmosphericial😊

@Jon Clark me too.

I wasn’t alive

Too young yez. Shivers from the quality ofmusic.

Oh brilliant stuff. Please play this in 2024 when Artemis returns to the moon!

+Matt Jackson LOL - same here. :D

+SimplyReg Agreed!

That's Steve Bales, in charge of guidance. He had to deal with several problems that arose during the landing and make some very last minute decisions on the "go no go". Also, check out the website First Men On The Moon (dot com) for a live collection of the different audio and video recordings of the landing (as well as Neil Armstrongs heart rate)!

I'd be excited, too!

Guidence officer!

The only film that reliably makes me cry is Apollo 13.

I'm embarrassed to say, it brings tears to me, also, *every* time.

Same. I think this was the pinnacle moment of human achievement and it’s been very sadly all downhill from here.

Well said. I must have listened to this track dozens of times but always evokes that emotion.

It is the best of our species isn't it. A testament to what we can do if we co-operate instead of fight. We need to be reminded of what we're capable of achieving, at the moment.

This is fantastic, and indeed worthwhile. Don't forget yourselves.

I was born just a bit too young to see it, but old enough to live with its immediate impact on the world - so they'll play it at mine too - there's probably no afterlife but if there is me and your grandad can rock out to it together

So was mine he used to play a 16mm film of it for me on his home projector 😢😊

Steve Bales is the guidance officer in this audio if I'm not mistaken!

Everest is very hard to stop listening too aswell

@@revenevan11 Fun fact: As guidance officer, he's also the one who had to make the hard choice a little bit later in the song, regarding the 12 02 alarm.

Hogan Lerman delicious!

well said nogah armstrong

"Houston, Tranquility base here. The Nogah has Lermaned." What? - what?

This track is awesome because it sums up ...... being on it, positive, courage, risk, TEAM, belief, energy, intellect, humankind, evolution, and our desire to venture out there ... and we GO

Oh, I agree. Incredibly well done.

didn't the moon landings happen in part due to the posturing of rival superpowers?

@@davidtaylor4717 Yes and that's an irony - one of the greatest feats of cooperation was born of competition. It's worth noting though that NASA's Russian counterparts also celebrated when Armstrong sent his famous "The eagle has landed" message. For them it was a victory for mankind and science, not a loss for Russia: even though they wished it had been them, they were glad that *someone* did it, and the truth is that they never really stood a chance of getting to the moon first - their program had suffered too many setbacks, most notably the death of their genius Chief Designer, Sergei Koryolev, the man who had put Russia in space first.

There's a photo of me as a 15month old watching the landing. I've been listening to this song for nearly 7 years. It still makes me tear up, if not flat-out cry every single time. Usually at the 2:50 mark.

@@tostare Good point. It can also be argued that the Soviets had a small "victory" in the competition (like the rest of humanity), because although it was two completely opposing world-views between the USA and the USSR, it wasn't some billionaire entrepreneur like Elon Musk who put an American on the moon, but a space programme that was using public funding instead (in a similar way to the Soviet space programme). Obviously it's more complicated than that, but if you wanted to prove to the Russians that "our way" is better, it would be done in a purely capitalist way by some private giant corporation with its own space programme. So in a sense the Soviets got their point across: to achieve big things you do need people to come together to work towards a common goal.

You're damn right, chum.

Me too

Check out their other stuff if you haven't yet already. Public Service Broadcasting are great. "The Other Side" from this album is ace, and earlier stuff like "Night Mail", "Spitfire" and "The Now Generation" are among my favourites.

Likewise,terrific music top class chaps,i cant wait to see them in Dublin again. Friendchip.

Just here to remind you that you commented on this 7 years ago

Please check out, inform educate entertain, from them. So amazing too

OK, you've taken your time, but welcome to the club! Their Prom will be shown on BBC4 on Friday evening, but you really must make it your mission to see them live yourself!

I'm really glad BBC used them, it's criminal how overlooked these guys are. I'm saying this as a lifelong metal fan too!

Its usually the emotion of the event/thing in question, I do the same when I see a Super Marine Spitfire, and they do that song too LOL.

I think it's because NASA spent a long time trying to be very sober and serious about space travel, and accidentally stripped away a lot of the romance, something that only got rediscovered recently. Because romance and awe is NOT a lesser reason to do something! There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that sense of wonder, that thrill of what's over (or above) the horizon. I feel that same sense of awe when I read or see videos about exoplanets, the Cassini or New Horizons missions, or seeing that first aircraft on Mars. It's millions of dollars being spent on optimism, in a world where billions are spent on cynicism.

@@paulgibbon5991 I really wish I could have seen the space race, I think there was a really strong sense of hope and excitement going on during it that I would have loved to see... Not to mention all of the toys and movies and so on that added to the fervor and excitement

You're not alone. It's the endeavour, the bravery, the vision. With a decent band giving their take.

Ye wanna see them live,terrific! Friendchip.

Amazing 👍🏻

I usually don't like sampling, but this stuff is great.

you should check Microfilm's works. It's a french group, with the same concept. Dunno if PSB got inspired by them, the sound isn't similar (more post rock for microfilm)

They're playing the album live, with orchestra, at the BBC Proms this year. July 25th, 10pm london time. You can listen to it live via internet at BBC Radio 3. www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/proms/bbc-proms-2019/prom-10-public-service-broadcasting/

They also played at Apollo50 at Goonhilly Earth Station on Saturday - my first encounter with PSB and I loved it!

They played the whole album at Goonhilly Apollo too. Cracking show. This track had so much more energy live.

@@MrY-mc7uv was very tempted to go, wish I had now 😔

Omg....same. Thank you Spotify for introducing me to this gem!

Go and see them..

Yes same, what a tune, its just so epic👍

Same, never heard about them and now life is better :)

Heard this for the first time on my commute on Monday morning on Radio 6. Absolutely superb 👌

You have great taste in radio choice. 6 music is the best.

Nerd!

What language do Kebals speak, mate?

My Ltd clear vinyl arrived on Monday: just bloody lovely. Both the physical album itself & what's in the grooves. Hope you get as much pleasure from it as I've had.

YES! Prof Brian Cox brought me here too. It literally stopped me in my tracks. An exhilarating piece of art. White Star Line is also great. PSB have a new fan.

@@allybaba67 Me too!!!!! I love The Professor and this brought me here too. Fabulous!

Me too. Ken Bruce probably the only good presenter left at R2.

100% - the main reason I found it

That's what got me here

I forgot who did this track again. Fortunately this time I searched _race for space._ That works so much better than typing "go" into the YT search bar.

It does now! ;)

1m plus now :)

It’s great to see a fellow Tim here

Hi Tims!

March '21, over 2m! 😎

Come and listen again my friend

Downs Master SmarterEveryDay Destin brought me over here as well!

Downs Master Same here, awesome video!

Downs Master SmarterEveryDay Bump!

same here

Downs Master Ditto! Thanks, Destin!

Is anyone else who has got the clear vinyl finding it hard to get the inner sleeve into/out of the cover due to the thickness of the vinyl?! #firstworldproblems

thompsonarty So are you thumbs up or thumbs down on this track?

Love this track!

SendTheWolf3man I was one of the first to thumbs-up this one, thankfully the Go's are leading the No Go's by a big margin :)

thompsonarty or go / stay

yep

What did that first second do to ya?

Lindsey Wood, moon hater.

It was an amazing set- loved it!

He does it with feeling.

Ciaran Damien Bradley This tune is tremendous, heard it same time as yourself

Ciaran Damien Bradley yes that's where I heard it and fell in love with it, such a great track

Had exactly the same Idea...

harry bhoy I agree, me either :)

Hous - Houston, Tranquility. Do you have a way of showing the configuration of the engine arm circuit breaker? Over. The reason I'm asking is because the end of it appears to be broken off. I think we can push it back in again. I'm not sure we could pull it out if we pushed it in, though. Over.

@@lyrimetacurl0 OK now I am just Drifting, damn she sure looks beautiful from up here .

Actually they said Inverness settle at there gig here as we were given them the usual Highland welcome

Brilliant hope you’re safe.
