Who Was Behind The Apollo Space Program? (Feature Documentary) | Spark 

All the respect to all those contributed to Apollo program. ... 'Apollo' is a memory in the history of mankind on Earth. ... Well done.

If these people knew for the next 50 years we would go no further than a earth hugging space station they would not have believed you.

"Just the excitement every time I go through the gates of Kennedy Space Center, and show my badge I thought I was the luckiest person in the world." I'm glad it is not just me. Four years in and I still feel this way every day

A great documentary, so well put together, the interviews, clips & soundtracks. just brilliant! I love listening to it. 👌

Brilliant !!! I’d not seen anything on the subject with so much new material since quite a while !! While there are some historical shortcuts, it’s really an awesome piece of work !! Love the final words, too 👍

I am very thankful to these men and women. And to Spark. Such wonderful documentaries can not be found on any TV channel

Excellent documentary. It's fascinating hearing the personal perspectives of these dedicated individuals for the benefit of our country.

This is an achievement..that I still can't believe that human beings achieved. And for as long as humanity exists. It will still be astounding.

I just love watching Sparks videos. Well done for uploading a great collection of documentaries.

Grew up 30 miles away from Redstone and often felt the ground shake from engine tests.

Fantastic documentary on the Apollo program.

Excellent may the truth always prevail

I disagree with one statement that was made toward the end of this video ... that a focus on the individual is not going to cut it. It was the work of visionary individuals like Isaac Newton, Konstantin Ziolkovski, Robert H. Goddard, Wernher von Braun and countless others which laid the groundwork that made the Apollo Project possible. When the time is right the work being done right now by individual thinkers and doers will launch the next grand achievement of humankind.

Pretty awesome documentary

"once there is hope, you can get things done!" Think about that!

I am glad that Cape Canaveral reclaimed its name. Cape Kennedy was an overreach.

Nice documentaire

I really like and think this is a great way to tell a exc. story..Plz skip the music. It doesn't fit .. it ruin the greatness of the subject.. THX

❤️

Engineer in 1969: “hey Siri, what’s the ...” : “shit” The fact they did this without the internet and resources and technology and science we have now, competent blows my mind

Happy I'm from Huntsville Alabama

I wonder when "Spark" reflect about audio normalization or just boosting volume levels. I understand problems with 1-2 videos, but come on... Hilarious...

Mr.Braun was behind the Apollo mission. It was his dreams.

This documentary has opened my eyes to so much. I was born in 1970 so all the excitement had died down before I was aware of the enormity of what was achieved. It has just been in recent years that I have given thought to how extraordinary those flights to the moon were because it happened so long ago. We have the internet, we can communicate with each other face to face on a hand held device while being thousands of miles apart. That was Star Trek technology just a few years ago. And I believe those missions were the beginning of our technological advances. We were lit like a fire for the advancement of science ever since.

@ 18:16 this guy words and JFK words gave me chills

This was such a important thing for our world, it's still wild that even 43 years no women have yet walked on the moon!

i still get misty when I remember the Moon Landings

💙

we your show & love spacex & we just got our S dual motor fsd while the tri/4? motor fsd cybertruck gets here. i'm all in TSLA & i love all Elon Musk does & will keep doing..we've drove from California to Boca Chica to see the Star Ship & it was so awesome to see it getting built in person!! we have LOTS of SOLAR & backup battery system to charge them both

To all the African Americans, who led the way,thank you,i see all of you as heros to a generation,mine ,the future thanks you as well.

Fuck, I love this channel.

Does somebody know at what time in Germany the liftoff of mars 2020 is

I want to acknowledge whoever produced this video in an aspect ratio format I use with 4:3 footage, that being 14:9. Lose a little on the top and bottom to gain a wider image.

The story between Wallace and von Braun (the former Nazi) is fascinating in itself. You would never have guessed without context. He went head to head way more than it was politically wise. Fair to say the two weren't friends. Von Braun is a fascinating historical character when you dig a bit deeper. As many are of course.

One giant leap for mankind that was A.I. will do the next great leap

...van broawn looked at peace at the end of the war, sckewshy

If Kenny had lived, 90% say he would have cancelled the moon shot after reelection in 64. Like civil rights, Johnson was only able to push them thru "for the dead president"

The answer to the question at 55:24 is COMMERCIAL CIVILIAN FUSION ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION.

How flexible morale is when it plays to your advantage (Operation Paperclip).

I think buzz lightyear ,was buzz aldrin,in real life.thanks buzz.

We have failed as a culture and society in so many ways... the worst part is that few even fought for it. Cynicism won!

That was excellent.Thank you. I'm fortunate to have lived through those times. Sputnik really caused a big hoopla, even in the rural area where I grew up. I remember standing in our living room having spent 14 hours working a tractor in the fields, family huddled around the TV, as Niel Armstrong made his epic step onto the moon. Today there is no market for the products from the fields and we can't provide enough organizational and technical expertise to even make and distribute enough face masks and protective gear for health care workers in the midst of a pandemic. That is pathetic. It is largely the targeted loss of scientific and technical expertise, along with an utter incapacity and failure of leadership which has brought us to our current tragic and criminally induced death count from Covid-19. It takes people with expertise and professional integrity to solve complex problems for the country at large, not ill-prepared buffoons as we have in today's administration.

29:30 STILL the Most POWERFULL Thrusters EVER Made!!!

I cannot for the life of me understand or believe how the Lunar Lander worked everytime on the Moon when it failed every test flight on Earth ? How can you fly some craft for the first time without a mishap ? We did get to the Moon i am convinced ! But when it was pointed out the lander hatch appears to small for a fully suited astronaut to exit or enter it at the museum and the blue prints were asked for the blue prints disappeared from NASA ? We know some of the photos from the Apollo missions were training photos on the set ! Could be the film on some apollo missions were also subsituted as well with training film ! One Apollo moon film showed the big letter C on a rock that was a prop label and dead givaway ! What they really did on the Moon is unknown ! Rumors were they were filming structures that we built on the Moon by others there before us humans !

Ay yo Apollo? I'ont know if ya know dis,but,we aint young no mowuh.That aint us no mowuh.. -Rocky 4

At 12:55 , That's gross ! Fits right in with NASA, I suppose.

Von Braun :-/

I was born in the wrong decade.

I still want to know about the Goddard truth. Apollo 9. Leslie Goddard.

I teach Physics and tutor students in Physics, I don't use a science lab for study,....berrrruuuhhhhhh..... even I know she shouldn't be wearing open toed shoes. "MiSs, yOu NeeD 2 YEet thOse NAstY tOes ouTTaHH maH LLLAbEraOORRrrEE"

Nowadays they launch rockets and then switch to CGI

I really do love the whole story about the space race. Yes America ultimately won but the Soviets were more than worthy contenders. This is the way political battles should be contested. A race toward exploration as opposed annihilation. Of course the various figures who held offices in houses of politics on both sides held different views with regard to the space race and it was those very people who halted everything once the perceived race was over but those shallow people aside, what better way to contest ideologies than to pit minds against each other in a way that would in the end be of benefit to mankind as a species. I know there are those who are adamant that man has never made it to the lunar surface and they are absolutely entitled to hold any opinion they wish and I have no right whatsoever to tell them they are wrong, but for me this particular period of time in history will always be a source of inspiration and awe. There were a great many negatives during that time but shining through the darkness there will forever be the brave men and women involved in the mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Vostok space programmes.

Who spotted the black guy in the video?

Complete and utter rocks I feel as though that I’ve just wasted my life listening to all of these lies you’ve gone to the moon and no you haven’t

this one guy seems so proud to have worked for a NATZY

Man never set foot on the moon, never will..

leav it to unkl sam to think nothin of forgiving NATZY sins to harness ther mindes duplisity at its best

Sure feel bad for all the good people who truly believed in what they were doing- Only to be sitting at a computer monitor while listening to the audio made weeks before by Kubrick when the 'actual' landing was filmed. There's a reason why the film footage shown in the documentary "A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to The Moon" shows "Not for General Release" "Not for Public Viewing" (sic) right at the beginning of NASA's own footage... It shows the trickery used by the actornauts in low earth orbit to make it seem as tho they were halfway to the moon... They remove the black out card stock placed in the window and the actual distance to the earth is shown. The footage is real- it came from NASA. The interviews of the 3 Apollo 11 actornauts has been studied and analyzed intensively- Determined that all 3 were not truthful in their accounts, and to have used language indicating they were all lying. Can't fool real science, psuedo scientists can try as hard as they want- Truth is and always will be the daughter of time. Time and errors on the part of NASA has shown it all to be false. Astronauts don't drown in their space suits, nor should they need scuba gear inside their helmets... The latest footage showing them 'outside' the ISS with bare fingers and thumb- the audio heard "You thumb can be seen" There is a 'mock up' of the vessel in a pool in Texas for a reason- because that's where everything except the ridiculous footage of the crazy haired women and red faced men flipping around inside the ISS us filmed. Consider the amount of human debris that is she'd off a body in one day- extrapolate to the vast number of people who have been there for up to a year... Not even considering the menstrual waste of the women who've been in space--- no showers/bathing for up to a year... Pungent doesn't even do that thought justice. Wake up people- learn some real science about vacuum environments and sealed pressurized living spaces... Then remember that a hole to the vacuum of 'space' was repaired using duct tape.... Jokes on any fool who's been fooled. I guess it's easier to want to believe the lie than admit the giant step for mankind was taken on a closed set in am undisclosed location, and all modern footage is filmed underwater in Texas. Anyone who can show the physics behind propulsion in a vacuum or what type of metal/rubber or plastic is used as seals for the many hydrolic and other components to filter air, water, and maintain the integrity of the ISS for any length of time while exposed to the temperature fluctuations of space..is welcome to respond. Haven't met a single engineer yet who can answer these questions- not holding my breath. The idea that molecules are too far apart is idiotic. As soon as the molecule touches the vessel it becomes either super heated or cooled. The physics and explanation given are nonsense. Anyone stopping to think without emotion for long enough to understand the way vacuums and heat transference work soon see the truth.

Please don't say that Trump is now taking credit for that to!

hollywood

And to think each one actually thought it was real 😅 "Astro-nots" to the 🌙 moon, as Nixon famously said "the american people will believe anything as long as they see it on 📺"...lol

Nobody stepped on the Moon ever.

So we “sent” all those mediocre people to “the moon” in what time frame?? Our history is so suspesh

Shame it's all bs lol thunderbirds are go haha
