Forty years ago today. It brings tears to my eyes thinking about it. An 11-year space nut followed the mission all the way from lift-off to splashdown, in utter wonder. Still sends tingles through me thinking about that day and that night.
I remember this like it was yesterday....I was a teenager at the time, and I was so happy that my grandmother got to see this! We watched this together. She died some time ago....not long after seeing this....but she got to see it!
It stands as one of my most memorable events ever. I didn't sleep, from liftoff until they landed back here on Earth. As this anniversary approaches, and this footage reappears, some of the original emotional impact comes back with it. I was just one person, a microscopic part of the enormous team that made it happen, but I've never been so proud of anything else in my life.
The man that delivered my child was a part of the team. He he is one of the most wonderful, honest and intelligent people I'll ever have the honor of knowing. I don't think he would have all the awards and mission patches on display in his office just to keep a lie going for 40 years. He's proud of them and has every right to be. He is a true Scientist and a commendable man.
Take a little time and read about the procedures of the Apollo mission. If you did, you'd know that on the "porch" - the flat platform at the top of the ladder, was a pull handle, Neil pulled the handle which activated a side panel on the side of the Lunar Module to lower and turn on the camera pointing at the ladder.
yeah, my wife mentioned that, he almost made it kind of a weird coincidence he died so close to the anniversary, RIP Walter, and congrats on 40 years of apollo I took my kids to see IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON, a GREAT documentary, and the amazing thing is my kids sat through it without whining, and at the time they were about 6 and 10
@TheStormchaser1 If You just take the trouble to get some facts abot the Hubble telescope, You'll find out why it can't take any high resolution pictures of the equipment left behind on the Moon (it doesn't magnify as much as You might think, and the most sensitive camera demands a too long exposure-time to photograph a fast moving object like the Moon).
I was with you in that experience, how could I not be there with them? This experience has so colored my expectations for the shared exploration of space and the expansion of our consciousness to a more profound and shared sense of humanity. I am so saddened by the loss of Walter Cronkite, he was the father figure that never let me down.
Man ! What a special Day in our History I would Love to be in there shoes on that Day walking on the Moon looking up in the sky at Earth seeing how small our planet is compare to the universe it must have been a breath taking moment. My hats off too you guys Job well done.
The Eagle Has Landed Impressive,this is truly a "One small step for man One Giant Leap For Mankind" Amazing,i wish my country(Malaysia)Would send one of our citizens to the moon.Great job U.S.A and NASA! Keep up the good work and we might find Extraterestrial Life!
Wow. This is probably the greatest achievement ever so far. I think what NASA has done is incredible. It's indescribable great, and other nations has begun to follow. 40 years ago.. My oh my. I, for one, salutes Apollo 11, the whole of NASA, and especially Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and of course Michael Collins! -Norway.
modelmaterial you are by far the most sane person here back then computers were huge it took large scale rooms for these dinausaures weve come along way
Why would they put it on the moon? Do you have any idea how long it would take a missile fired from the moon to get to Earth? And how much harder it would be to be accurate?
I am not american but I fell pride each time I see the Saturn V climbing, my admiration to Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins and all that great people who made this dream came true. I was a child when we all saw this in the only one tv in my home village here in South America.
The blurry pictures of Armstrong descending the ladder of the LEM were taken by a remote camera on the outside of the LEM. After he stepped off ("one giant leap for mankind") he removed the camera from the LEM, focused (thank god) and the remaining pictures were taken by one of the 2 astronauts. They left the camera on the surface, focused at the LEM, in order for us to see the launch FROM to moon.
@TheStormchaser1 All frequencies used by non military spacecraft, both American and Russian, were made public by an international agreement. I don't have the Apollos frequencies available in front of me, but I happen to have some others in an older publication: Sputnik 1: 20.002 mc and 40.005 mc, Explorer 1: 108.00 and 108,03 mc, Ranger 1: 960.1 and 960.05 mc for example. Anyone could listen in on the Apollos just as any other non-military spacecraft. You are just guessing that no one could...
i personally salute all the people that made this possible greatest line in history: "that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." i hope i achieve such a groundbreaking thing like they did..
what's the diference i don't get it?now we can landon planets even further than moon and what's more important then DID they land is WHERe will we be able to land
compare the video qaulity when they left the moon to when he stepped on the moon, big difference in qaulity, and hang on a sec, isnt there supposed to be stars? because i didnt see one start in that whole video
July 20, 1969 I was so amazed at what I saw on the TV. I went outside, looked at the moon knowing that 2 men were on the surface while another orbited the moon. Later on, there were 5 more moon landings and I even watched the moon walkers on a Saturday morning, in color on the TV in our den. Imagine that! Sci Fi was out the door. We made it to the moon. What a cherished time it was and still is.
anyone know where to find the vid of jim reading genisis or whatever the bible verse is about god creating the earth and moon and stars from the command module?
The reason for the perfect footprints was the fact that earth dust gets worn into small round prices that tumble off of each other. This is due to long exposure of wind, rain, and constant rubbing. Moon dust is constantly undisturbed. Under a microscope, each grain is sharb and jagged. When pressed together, they stay like puzzle prices. A boot was pressed into replicant moon dust inside of a vacuum tube in a mythbusters episode. It left a perfect indention.
What did I do? I designed guidance systems at the time. I was on the design team for the Saturn 5 system, and project engineer for the Command Module stable platform. An exciting, and unforgettable, part of my life.
@TheStormchaser1 You forget one thing: These men were all the top of the top military test pilots. Very proud of their profession. They almost never screamed "horray" or boasted about their accomplishments. That would have looked bad in front of their colleagues. Cool and calm in the face of imminent death risk. Also: If one knows that what one is about to say will be historical, one think it over a little, I think. And what about the radio transmissions from the way to, and on the Moon?
@TheStormchaser1 The astronauts didn't point the cameras at the sun. They photographed the Moons surface. And sunlight doesn't destroy cameras using film, only electronic ones (TV and digital). All stills from the Moon were caught on film. Now, what about the stars? Do You still state that there should be stars in the sky above the brightly illuminated surface?
It's as amazing to see now as it was when it all happened, seeing the liftoff on TV, seeing the footage...even I as a five year old then realized the magnitude of this event. I wanted to be an astronaut then. I hope I can live to see man set foot on the moon again. Or even Mars, that would be better, to set foot on yet another new frontier.
I dont really care if this was real or not but why can the material of the flag survive in such conditions? just wondering, was it specialy designed for space?
Its easier some some people to look for faults or believe conspiracy theories in any event that is rare or so incredible that is seems unbelievable. Many thousands of people worked on Apollo, Its an inspiring achievement, lets just be inspired!
I meant to include them, yes! "Workers" covered a broad number of people but Apollo was indeed one of the greatest engineering feats ever, if not the greatest.
Evidence? What do you think the moon rocks, and the mirrors left there? This was the greatest achievement in the human history. ¡Celebrating 40 years, I salute you NASA! :D
@TheStormchaser1 No, but since I've worked with the public radio in Sweden, I know that Swedish radioastronomers followed the Apollos from "Råöobservatoriet". To the Moon. And back...
@TheStormchaser1 The radio frequencies were no secrets. No problems there. Australia was used as the recieving point only when the Moon was at that side of the Earth, and couldn,t be reached directly from USA. You are wrong about those "first words". Actually, Armstrong was chosen to step out first, because he was formally a CIVILIAN (but had been testing military aircraf before being an astronaut). Also, the plaque left on the Moon said: "for the whole world".
"The eagle has landed, we copy that on LAND" ... amazing ... "We are number one for takeoff (from the moon!) " .. Awesome awesome ... just brilliant !!
Fantastic video. How I would love another space race to motivate our country once more... to help us rediscover that "can do" spirit within us all....to inspire us to believe again that ANYTHING is possible,....ANYTHING CAN BE! I can't wait till that time comes once again! Today's youth need it.....believe me, they need it!!!
President Kennedy's dream became a reality..And to think the price tag of this event was 24 billion was considerably high in '69 was a very astonishing event that was beyond monumental. My family and I were on a camping trip that summer in Canada and we all gathered around the small B & W TV to view this event...Seems like yesterday to me..Peace.
sgtpepper, I suggest you check out Tom Hanks' wonderful mini-series "From the Earth to the Moon" as well. Though the Apollo 12 episode has some moments and language your 6 and 10 year old might be too young for.
The planning originally called for the Lunar Module pilot to go out first, not the commander. Aldrin actually got a bit "p****d off" because they changed that. At least that's what I heard and read back then.
Western Australia received their coverage in a different way to the rest of the World. They were the only Country where there wasn't a delay to the 'live' transmission. Bill Kaysing says 'NASA and other connected agencies couldn't get to the Moon and back and so went to ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) in Massachusetts and asked them how they could simulate the actual landing and space walks.
It's upright because there was a wire inside of it to make it that way. I remember this being covered way back in 1969 when they showed the live video. Shouldn't even be an issue 40 years later.
Yeah, the first pocket calculators were put on the US market for sale almost *TWO WHOLE YEARS* (whoa!!) after the moon landing. They, along with numerous other advances in large-scale integration that made things like home computers possible (improved CPUs. integrated circuits) were made possible by advances developed specifically for use in the Apollo navigation computers./
Where are the stars? is the space complete black? No. The stars do not show on the film because the camera aperture has to step down so as not to over expose the film due to the bright ground.
There's no dust on the landing pads. There's no blast crater beneath the lunar module. There's the battery-operated life support systems to alternately heat & cool the thin-skinned module...I was around in 1969, there were: no hand-held calculators, push-button phones, radial tires, plastic soda bottles. It was another era, quite primitive when compared to the present day.
Wow, now I am really impressed at your ability to be so articulate in presenting your facts. Facts are only facts when they can be verified. Just because you say so doesn't mean it is true.
Can anyone then explain why wouldn't they send other people up to the moon again after this many years? (Please dun tell me that you just dun wanna do it again) Can anyone then explain why the "flag which they left on the moon then" cannot seen by any astronomical telescopes?
What did you get that line from a red hot chili peppers song? I mean honestly that is just ridiculous to say that it's fake. Just because someone does something that seems impossible does not make it fake and them a liar. It's either they actually landed on the moon, or it's the largest most elaborate international cover up in the history of the world. Which is more reasonable? Once ARES is done we'll be back to put up a second flag and take all the HD video you could ever want.
man or oreo the context in which i mention the scape looked like white sands was merely to say that it couldve been theres alot of dessert out there that could be representative you are like a dingleberry you find a hair and hangon
Roggen, The surface of the moon is extremely fine, like powder. Therefore, any impression made on them (with the boots they were wearing) would have left visible marks. Since the moon has almost no atmosphere, the footprints remain.
Why would you need a man holding a camera for the camera to work? The camera was attached to the door of the storage compartment, which Armstrong opened before descending the ladder. This is a pretty well-known fact.
👏👏😍Am so in awe of these men and NASA's capability of the time ...Respect! Thanks for sharing this footage. Happy 50th🚀
So many decades after the fact and it still blows my mind. Mankind, you're magnificent. I luv ya!
Happy 50th anniversary! Today is July 20, 2019 Will pop a cork today at 4:17pm EST.
Forty years ago today. It brings tears to my eyes thinking about it. An 11-year space nut followed the mission all the way from lift-off to splashdown, in utter wonder. Still sends tingles through me thinking about that day and that night.
those mitical words by Armstrong always give me the chills and/or bring a smile to my face :D

I took my kids to see IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON, a GREAT documentary, and the amazing thing is my kids sat through it without whining, and at the time they were about 6 and 10
What an incredible achievement. Surely this is the greatest thing that ever happened. I hope mankind still has the courage to do even better.
I was born in '71 so I can't even imagine what it was like to witness this on tv. 40 years ago today! :)

where you there when this one was launched?
Simply beautiful, sniif! Thank you Apollo 11
"Born to Fly Airplanes" is the greatest air action vid on youtube. You've got to see it. No disappointments.
I remember it so well. Amazing. Any way to save this to an iPod?
Amazingly said, my friend. That's what people need to realize.
An open minded person....God bless u mate !....I like you ppl even more than ppl who agree with me . Respect
Simply, Amazing!
there are programs to take videos off youtube in an .avi I think.
Man ! What a special Day in our History I would Love to be in there shoes on that Day walking on the Moon looking up in the sky at Earth seeing how small our planet is compare to the universe it must have been a breath taking moment. My hats off too you guys Job well done.
how many years already?
The Eagle Has Landed Impressive,this is truly a "One small step for man One Giant Leap For Mankind" Amazing,i wish my country(Malaysia)Would send one of our citizens to the moon.Great job U.S.A and NASA! Keep up the good work and we might find Extraterestrial Life!
and how do you know that? Please tell us.
For how long did you go to school? How old are you? I just want to know
Wow. This is probably the greatest achievement ever so far. I think what NASA has done is incredible. It's indescribable great, and other nations has begun to follow. 40 years ago.. My oh my.

Thank you Reindeer! The truth hurts those who have others think for them.
what about the cameraguy i mean he got a good angle of him coming out so just wondering was is the cameraguy
Dude, such an awe inspiring day
He was awesome! He spoke and seemed to be doing very well. All the Apollo astronauts were there. It was an amazing experience!!!
what about the rocks they took with them home?
at 1:48 when they leave the moon in their tin foil/tent pole spacecraft, why is there no moon dust being blasted into the 'air'?
July 20, 1969 I was so amazed at what I saw on the TV. I went outside, looked at the moon knowing that 2 men were on the surface while another orbited the moon. Later on, there were 5 more moon landings and I even watched the moon walkers on a Saturday morning, in color on the TV in our den. Imagine that! Sci Fi was out the door. We made it to the moon.

I remember seeing this when I was only a little girl and my heart still skips a beat! Amazing!
i have been near this really high security base near whitesands missle range the terrain looks very similar hmmm
What did I do?
I designed guidance systems at the time. I was on the design team for the Saturn 5 system, and project engineer for the Command Module stable platform. An exciting, and unforgettable, part of my life.
at 1.25 why does it look like there is a man behind him?
@TheStormchaser1 You forget one thing: These men were all the top of the top military test pilots. Very proud of their profession.

oh my god after been away from the pc for 3hours+, come back, you're still here lol
I dont really care if this was real or not but why can the material of the flag survive in such conditions? just wondering, was it specialy designed for space?
WOW THIS WAS A SO EPIC MOMENT
its not fake. this is a part of history that we all should be extremely proud of, because no one has ever been brave enough since then.- to go back
Its easier some some people to look for faults or believe conspiracy theories in any event that is rare or so incredible that is seems unbelievable. Many thousands of people worked on Apollo, Its an inspiring achievement, lets just be inspired!

I hope we go back soon and also onto Mars

Yes. Sometimes stars won't show up on film since they appear to the human eye tiny white dots.
President Kennedy's dream became a reality..And to think the price tag of this event was 24 billion was considerably high in '69 was a very astonishing event that was beyond monumental.

Nice lighting in that studio... looked just like the moon.... :p
Amen man...best comment I seen all day
nice landing on the studio~
5yearplan1
It's called exploring the (yet) unknown.. and also, we did go back to the moon and land 5 times after that..

Things tend to move when their touched. Especially with no atmosphere.
Next question.
What did you get that line from a red hot chili peppers song? I mean honestly that is just ridiculous to say that it's fake.

It's either they actually landed on the moon, or it's the largest most elaborate international cover up in the history of the world. Which is more reasonable?

kartsnam are you saying they saw a soda bottle on some of the so called footage
What are you talking about? They both have their helmets on. Check your prescription.
man or oreo the context in which i mention the scape looked like white sands was merely to say that it couldve been theres alot of dessert out there that could be representative you are like a dingleberry you find a hair and hangon
Um belíssimo trabalho, congratulações aos americanos pelo excelente trabalho com a chegada a LUA ...
Godspeed all those who took us to the moon and all those who are working to finally take us back again!
Roggen,
The surface of the moon is extremely fine, like powder. Therefore, any impression made on them (with the boots they were wearing) would have left visible marks. Since the moon has almost no atmosphere, the footprints remain.
Why would you need a man holding a camera for the camera to work?
The camera was attached to the door of the storage compartment, which Armstrong opened before descending the ladder. This is a pretty well-known fact.
I saw Neil Armstrong last night in Dayton, Ohio. I was the coolest thing ever!
Your vid info is slightly wrong... the vid ends with them landing in the ocean... not departing the moon.
its awsome to think that something i heldin my hands is so far tucked away you mean
