Even though he’s gone, Gene’s love of life still inspires me today. Rest In Peace Commander.
After reading Gene Cernan's book, his description of the absolute and eternal silence that enveloped him and Harrison Schmitt after they shut down the descent engine has never left me. The awe he felt in that moment was transcribed so simply, and so eloquently, hard to believe it's been 46 years since he and Schmitt left the moon.
The silence was after all his annoying talking.
I don't think he was taking it that seriously, one might say he was over acting.
It's not just the DPS and the RCS shutting down and becoming silent. It's the realisation, I think, of accomplishment. The realisation of culmination. Everything you trained for, everything you could, up to that point, only imagine, has become real. Combine this with ultra high levels of focus, attention, and sensory awareness and then, at that moment, movement stops, and it...has become real. You are...safe and sound...on the moon.
It must be overwhelming. Especially when flying over there for the second time, knowing it is the very last shot, and you've got only one try. The silence cried out victory. Truly epic.
@@erikbakker1531 Beautifully stated.
You mean he left hollywood right?
"Epic moment of my life"
That had to be incredible, I followed the space program from Mercury to today and the moon landings were the most amazing thing they ever did.
You mean epic lie 😂
I really admire the astronauts. Going to the moon was dangerous and aside from Apollo 13, all went well. What a heroic venture. One day in the future new landings might be close enough to survey all 6 landing sites. Fortunately, the sites are preserved for ever.
Even the Russians admired us for our bravery in going to the Moon. "Those crazy Americans", they would say, (in a good way)!

@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 your kidding right?
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 Stanley Kubrick really did direct all the Moon landings. But since Kubrick was an auteur and a notorious perfectionist, he demanded the moon landing be shot on location. 😅
Still remember reading the story of a guy that was developing a PC game called Lunar Lander 3D (Think that was the name). He was on vacation with family in Colorado showing off the game on his Alienware laptop when a group came over from the bar to check it out. A guy asked if he could give it a try and the developers face turned white when he saw who it was :
Gene Cernan.
Talk about getting a perfect play tester. It's like being a harpsichord maker and having Mozart walk in and testing them out.
That'll be Ron Monsen's rather excellent Eaglelander 3D! :-) I showed the same program to David Scott once. Not very well, though. My laptop wasn't really up to the task.
Great job,now if we can get TH-cam to go after the fake news,hoax video's etc,maybe your video can get 500,000 views it so deserves,I 'm not against free speech, I just don't like the idea of people lying , making false accusations,good guesses,lying about the Apollo moon landings,calling NASA a bunch of crooks,murders,cheats etc ,while making up phony stories,using flawed scientific testing,bad math ,all to make a buck.We have enough brain dead folks in cyberspace,,lets at least make them post a disclaimer,and a list of references to the data they're claiming to be true,especially if it goes against historical ,scientific facts.Lets say your making a video claiming the Moon rock are fake ? well then,give us references to the scientist [ phd geologist ], who examine those rocks,can you list a science paper,book,etc , references to those claims .That's what I want to see,but I doubt will ever see it,until enough people complain .Keep up the great work!!!
Friend of mine used to work at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. He got me in to see the Discovery Channel Telescope a few years back...this was just before the thing went first light, it was still brand spanking new. So there's a guest book inside the building that you can sign. I couldn't resist signing it of course. There were four names above mine. Three Discovery Channel executives, and Neil Armstrong. My name is right below Neil Armstrong's name. I can just see people 50 years from now looking at that and going "Oh look, Neil Armstrong...and who?"
@@Godscountry2732 You can present all the evidence in the world to someone who denies it all, but they will most likely keep denying. I am not bothered to invest my time into this anymore.
People who claim the moonlandings were fake are a waste of time in most cases.
@@FastbikkelFastbikkel your right, ignorance is alive and well.
The main reason some people think it's fake is because they can't realize how vastly superior to them some people are. I've met a few who worked in major aspects of the moon mission, they were so utterly brilliant. The best of the best... And those astronauts, were true skygods. That's why they pulled it off... The top of the top with a blank check! That's what comes out... Just mind boggling... Stay humble and understand, some humans are in another league.
exactly, you nailed it
Exactly. I have a phd from a regular university and I work with other guys who got their degrees from the ivy league, chicago, MIT, etc. They are truly top shelf. I'm a doorknob by comparison.
@shillslayer I hope no one else is deluded by what SpottedSharks said. First of all, no respectable university would grant someone who states he got a "phd" when the term is spelled properly as Ph.D. Secondly, a Ph.D. recipient is required to be able to write and use the English language. SpottedSharks writes and spells no better than a four-year-old. He doesn't capitalize "Ivy League, nor the city of Chicago. No reputable university would give a Ph.D. to someone who can't even write a Ph.D. theses. He isn't even smart enough to download the free program "Grammarly" to make certain his spelling and grammar are correct. What a fake, phony and a fraud, as Bob Grant would have said: "Get off of my phone".
I once worked for a large oil and gas company who was having several processing vessels built; At the round table there were several Engineers (with Phds), COs, Managers, OH&S, QA/QC ... I had ALL contacts and I know ALL their credentials... There were many challenges on this project.. but the one (two) which stuck out the most was: the first two vessels built in-doors could NOT be moved out through the doors... TOO BIG.. This where I came in to figure out how to get them out of the building... AND MY TEAM DID…the funny part was that I had an apprentice welder / grinder prep guy tell the Engineers HOW;
Secondly, these Same Engineers of these massive vessel decided they wanted to build the rest of the vessels outside...
Can you imagine IF the Rockets were TOO LARGE for the launch pad...?
Yup, this is what happened...the Phd Engineer devised a way to build the vessels outside. One small detail was overlooked; and all it would have taken was a look at the drawings (or measure the foot print of the vessels already built) a good tape measure...
The pads were near completion, SO, I when I went out to the pads constructed for these vessels, something in my mind said they looked small..I measured the diameter... YUP ... SEVEN FEET TOO SMALL.. Worse was THREE PADS WERE ALREADY BUILD…
@lostman33 YOU SAID: "What kind of rockets engines were they using because from what I understand all these engines need oxygen, and a lot of it to operate? No oxygen in outer space. Just asking"
== Rockets bring their own oxidizer with them. There are/were various oxidizers. The big Saturn V boosters used liquid oxygen (about as simple as it gets). The lunar landers used N2O4 as the oxidizer (more harmful and toxic, with less energy return, but it's hypoergolic with Aerozine 50, which is what they wanted).
The Man said...Epic moment of HIS life...of OUR life! Great job guys.

Hey, this one was great! Love the excitement in the voices of the astronauts, you can tell they were into it all the way!
Wonderful video. The crux of the most successful and grand Apollo moon mission! And the glossary of terms popping up was so helpful.
That was beyond informative. That was MASSIVE COOL!
Apollo era Speedmaster chronographs: moonwatchuniverse.tumblr.com/archive
You gotta give credit to Omega for making the Speedmaster probably one of the most iconic watches since the space age. I've owned a Speedmaster Professional since just before the first Apollo 11 landing on the moon when I got it as a birthday gift when I was 16 or 17. I still wear it today. I received it as a gift in 1969 and had it serviced once or twice since then. It surprises me that the crystal did not pop off from the internal pressure inside the Hasilite Plastic face cover when taken outside the capsule by Ed White (God rest his soul from Apollo 1 disaster).
I often wonder how David Scott's (Apollo 15) Speedmaster crystal popped off during the trans-lunar trip, thus allowing him to rely on his private back-up watch, a Bulova, that he recently sold at private auction for 1.625 million U.S.D. (See Bulova replica insert pamphlet). The Speedmasters were government property and had to be returned to NASA where they now are on display in various space museums. Private watches were the property of the astronauts.
Ed White was the first U.S. astronaut to "space walk" and the Omega Speedmaster was the first watch worn in outer space, by an American. Although Wally Schirra was the first astronaut to wear an Omega Speedmaster in a rocket during his October 3, 1962 spaceflight which remained with him onboard.
It was also the first watch worn on the Moon's surface, by Buzz Aldrin. Neil Armstrong left his Speedy hanging on the LEM's instrument panel for reference.
In later missions, they used a strapless Speedmaster to hang on the instrument Panel of the LEM with either Velcro or a tape of some sort. There is a video somewhere here where the Speedmaster is transferred from one place on the panel to another without a strap, being filmed at high speed.
I love my pre- Moonwalk Omega Speedmaster from 1969. It doesn't even have the "first moon watch" logo on the back because I got it a few months before the first Lunar landing. Sorry if I'm bragging, but I am, because I can. DPA

Thank you Ph. There ought to be a "D" after your first name. LOL. Thank you again for all the fine pics. They are amazing. DPA
Nope, it's delayed damage control with a love for numerology ;) Why would any sane person ever believe that the program codes were memorized, when in fact all telemetry data is officially 'lost'? Besides, the Apollo travelled 24 to 36 hours in no inertial system at all... neither the Earth's, nor the Moon's... how come the impulse for the Earth's and Moon's paths remained? Inertia? But why wouldn't the Sun overcome this residual inertia, and pull them directly towards itself? The more you think about it, the more a giant hoax becomes obvious!
Great videos. your efforts are much appreciated. Purchased your book prior to Christmas and have found it really well written and understandable for a layman. I grew up watching and reading anything concerning the Apollo program. Thanks David
The excitement in Cernan’s voice is palpable! Fascinating film. The mountains on the moon are mesmerizing! I’ve never seen this in such detail. Thank you.🙏🇺🇸
Mountains are unreal 😂
That was a really awesome job on making this video. You really don't give much thought to how much work went into the landing. It's really amazing how they did it with the days technology.
Super cool - my favorite part is when you can see the shadow of the lander @ 12:30
Mission control wasn't celebrating the way they did when Apollo 11 landed. It was just quiet....like, ho hum, no big deal.
You'd have to have a very limited brain size to believe this is real.
@If you laugh you sub!, you once watched a movie? wow what a lucky clown you are.
You have a limited brain size. Do you think the US made the Saturn V for fun or dropped the Apollo spacecraft in the Atlantic? You are an IDIOT!

Really interesting how much assistance the computers gave and the amount of comfort they give to the astronauts. This was just awe inspiring. Thanks for posting it.
ALL of the Apollo astronauts were passionate about the project and what it meant to the world but Gene Cernan always came-off to me as the most passionate. Right up until his death he carried a full-time schedule of speaking engagements and keeping the lunar explorer torch burning. Honestly, if you ever wanted to meet a moonwalker, Gene Cernan was the easiest to find. He made himself very accessible.
Beautiful! It was an exhilarating watch.. thanks for the upload 🚀
Amazing. Still gives me goose bumps today
Great series of videos. The shadow of the LM,at around 800 ft, looks fantastic. Thanks for posting these.
Those who went to the moon and worked to get them there are incredible. Being there had to be the epic moment in anyone's life.
Was a Kid watching this on TV. Now I get to see what actually happened... Thank You!
I remember being 6 years old when this happened. I was sad that it was the last moon mission. I could tell as a kid that the public had grown use to astronauts going to the moon.

one hell of a commentary from eugene. The man is gold. RIP
Thank you for the written comments explaining every part of the descent and what Cernan and Schmitt are doing and saying :) I wish you had uploaded more Apollo 17 videos !
At some point in the near future, I intend to upload all the Apollo 17 16-mm film magazines.
That would be awesome :) I watched a few videos about Apollo 17 and it looks like Cernan and Schmitt were making jokes and laughing all the time. About the Rover repair, singing on the Moon, about throwing hammers, singing 'Happy birthday' :D
Note that the 16-mm film magazines are mute - no sound. Just in case you were not aware of it, the absolute best site to follow the antics of the Apollo 17 crew on the Moon is the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal. The Apollo 17 page is on www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a17/a17j.html and there are surface journals for all the landed missions.
I can't even imagine the euphoria you must have when you're landing on the moon and you know you're going to walk on it!!!
nice comment!
Greetings from Germany...
Keep imagining. No one has or will ever walk on the moon. Sorry to burst your space bubble. Speaking of which th-cam.com/video/r6IZUq6v92I/w-d-xo.html bubbles in space.

They did it, and very well. Proof enough. Who cares about conspiritards today? They are the losers of society, can't handle reality, only ridiculize other people's dedication to whatever they do.
Id be fucking scared for my life! Quite happy here with both feet on earth.

Wake up!!! Open your eyes to reality!! Stop believing everything you see on TH-cam!! Try some critical thinking for once in your life, question everything instead of mindlessly believing totally unreliable sources!! You FLAT brains are so ignorant it's comical!! The funny part is that you've brainwashed yourselves and you don't even know it!!! Get up, get out of your mom's basement into the REAL 🌎 world and learn something about the SPINNING SPHERE EARTH that you live on!!!
Those two lucky bastards! And I say that with the utmost respect!
Hear the excitement in their voices. Do you really think they would be that excited in a simulator?
They're getting desperate because the film footage is very accurate. The south massive which you can see in the distance is around 7002ft according to some lunar contours I have seen for this area. If you relate that to the heights they are reading out during the descent then you will see it's pretty accurate.
The Lucky Bastard Club.
onemoremisfit Haha 😂! I'm joining. Just incredible footage; absolutely amazing!
Buzz Aldrin's ma committed suicide a mobth before Apollo 11 went up, because she knew it was fraud and Buzz was commitd. And folks like you made fraud lies murder inevitable! Shame n yall
A superb compilation with so much information packed into this, FANTASTIC!
Incredible footage, great commentary. Thanks for sharing.
This was a fun one. Watching it as it descends. Fun. Fun. Fun.
The landings were a high point of my youth. I pray for the day when mankind will return and humans walk again on the surface of the moon. I don't think it will happen again in my life time which is a shame. We were supposed to be on mars and beyond by now.
I recommend you a small rocket start-up called SpaceX.
They will fly maned missions to moon and mars before 2030.
don't you guys get it? it keeps getting pushed into the future and pushed into the future because it will never happen... human space travel is a joke. we cannot leave low earth orbit just as NASA themselves will tell you. this one fact alone discredits the moon landings. we did NOT land on the moon...period.
Mark
Can you give me the link to were NASA admits this?
What NASA will tell you is that we (U.S.) don't have any man-rated craft flying today. We also don't have any *reason* to have astronauts leave low-earth orbit. What they *won't* tell you is that the Van Allen belts would stop us if we had the craft or a reason to go. Because it didn't then, and it's a known hazard rather easily dealt with, both then and now. No spacecraft, satellite, or manned, ever has intentionally spent more than the absolute minimum time traversing the more intense portion of the Van Allen belts, and none ever stay in orbit at those altitudes, either. The whole issue is the silliest red herring the idiot space-deniers have ever advanced. However, it at least lets you know right up front just how intelligent and truthful its proponents aren't.
Red Fish Incorporated Dude, no one has ever set foot on the moon.
RIP Eugene Cernan
Amen.
Of course. We have countless hours of video material, we have thousands of photos, we have satellite photos from only recent years made by space probes which flew to the moon. We have the science which can provide the explanations from the scientific point of view why the moon missions were real.
You maybe should just look at some of the site where these things are shown, or read the appropriate books.
typical tech support. turn it off and on again. that should clear the problem.
And it worked, especially so in the case of Apollo 14's landing radar.
As a side note: Grumman had actually wanted to put the next generation of radar equipment in the landers, which wouldn't have locked up as much. But, NASA had been drowned by requests to make more and more changes to the LEM, and put a stop to any more design changes. So, the Apollo missions flew without the best radar equipment available at the time.
Still, it is understandable. A new radar would probably require a lot of work, training and redesign that the project already lacked both time and finally also money for (in the light of the three last missions being cancelled over time).
Awesome! What a ride that must have been! That is dedication and bravery at its finest! The Moon is such a hostile, yet serene and beautiful world! I just wish we would go back soon, especially with the technology we have today!
I agree, and I would love to shut those conspiracy nut job mouths out there!

Excellent work! Perhaps the best depiction yet of what it's like to land on the Moon, something humans haven't done for almost three generations.
That the Americans landed on the Moon in 1969 is one of the most uncontested facts of 20th century. Even Russian history books attest to this fact. It has nothing to do with an agenda.
These men definitely have the right stuff, we don't have inspirational men today who have the same qualities.
Outstanding video thanks.
Jill, Yes we do. They work for our armed forces. Some are jet jockies, some are radar controllers, some are chefs and some are nurses and doctors; some guide our jets onto the ship and others monitor our airspace for the likes of Kim. All are on our vessels are ready to go to war for us at a moment's notice. These are all people of honor. They just never got the chance to fly to the moon, like Frank Sinatra sang.
The most spectacular of all the landing sites..I am always in awe of what those guys did!
America, be proud of your heros
Like Wernher Von Braun, for example.

"It looks good babe!" - gotta love Cernan!
I loved this ...I was really upset thinking that they had lied about landing on the moon ....I didn't want to believe it ....this makes me happy.
Thanks. See the video's description for links to similar videos of the other five Apollo landings.
It actually was a lie. The Apollo 15 photos and transcript are completely contradictory. The transcript says the dust was so thick they had to use instruments to land. But you can look at the high res photos of the lander and see not a spec of dust on the entire vehicle. And not a hint of a blast crater. Supposedly they hit so hard the rocket nozzle hit the ground and crumpled. Not a mark on the ground, with the nozzle sitting only 1 inch above. No combustion residue whatsoever n the nozzle. The whole underside was wrapped in tinfoil and scotch tape (I'm not kidding -- in one photo you can see where the transparent scotch tape is coming off). Not a single mark or smudge on the tinfoil despite being only a few feet from a rocket engine kicking up huge dust clouds. The only marks on the tinfoil are the wrinkles from when they wrapped it on the vehicle, and literally used that scotch tape to fix some tears from rivets going through. The photos are totally hilarious.
And yet, they landed.
Things don't happen in a vacuum on the Moon the way they do on Earth. When one understands that, there is no contradiction. There were no dust clouds the way we get dust clouds on Earth because there was no atmosphere for the gas from the engine (and the dust it carried) to interact with. Each particle simply got blown to the horizon to then immediately settle on the ground far away. On Earth, the atmosphere would get in the way and cause the dust and gas to billow. It would stay local and the dust would likely settle on the footpads. But it didn't because it got blown to the horizon. Given the very high exhaust velocity, it is possible that some particles even got blown into lunar orbit during the landing.
As it happened, the Apollo 15 crew didn't get a clear photo of the effect on the ground beneath the engine, but the 14 crew did, in AS14-66-9261:
www.flickr.com/photos/projectapolloarchive/21692794731
The way the high-velocity wind from the engine scoured the surface is clearly seen.
Concerning combustion residue, the propellants used (hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide) burned with a transparent flame. This wasn't a sooty petrochemical reaction. Its main combustion products were nitrogen, water vapour and hydrogen with a bit of ammonia and it was these gases that swept the lunar dust away. Once the top few centimetres had been removed, the much more compacted subsurface was exposed.
Not a lie. Just another world where things happen in a different way to what most folk expect.
@@apollo17-apolloflightjourn42 Have you seen the Apollo 15 photos? They are here:
www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a15/images15.html
Look at images 11839 and 11841.
What you are saying is not consistent with these images. They clearly show a thick fluffy dust covering the ground. Therefore the engine did not blast away the dust down to a hard layer as you are suggesting. There is no evidence of a blast crater, certainly not one so violent where particles were ejected into orbit! And if one was to instead argue that the dust settled back down from above after touchdown to somehow obscure the blast crater, then that contradicts both the complete lack of dust on the lander (how did it accumulate UNDER the lander?) as well as your assertion that the dust was blown horizontally.
I see no reason why the exhaust would have expanded only horizontally from the ground. In a vacuum the gasses would be expanding in all directions including up. The expansion would have been violent (and the gasses hot) which would have damaged the tinfoil held on by scotch tape.
These inconsistencies cannot be explained away with "well things behave differently on the moon". To me it looks like the lander was carefully placed there by a crane in a movie set after the lunar surface had been simulated.
@@mark2073 : If you look at landing video, you'll see that a lot of dust is blasted away. Mostly horizontally and very fast.
Problem of conspi, is that they usually don't know anything about physics and make empty claims like "there should be a crater".
But tell me:
- how deep?
- How large?
And show me the computations you used to prove that.
Then I'll start looking at your words.
Here you see the effect of the blast:

It is amazing that the public at large became board with these events.
How could watching any of these flights ever be boring?
I was blessed to have been able to witness them. I was was young, but I had a father that was fascinated with flight and he made sure we were watching as much as possible
Some people back then would've rather watch "Bewitched", "I Dream of Jeannie", "Gilligan's Island", and "The Brady Bunch" instead. Pitiful!!!
Thanks for this great video !
Awesome! Simply awesome! What a ride, riding the meatball all the way down to touchdown. Thanks for posting
Incredible. We should have kept going.
It's time to explore MARS!
such amazing recordings. it's great that we can watch the 16mm footage here but imagine that guys back at Houston who can only listen and watch the data stream.
17 was regarded as the most trouble free mission with only a broken gauge glass basically for the whole mission. Cernan like Armstrong on 11 was a no nonsense by the book serious guy so this mission was last and arguably the best in terms of what it achieved. 16 had a double problem with 2 important systems go bad just as they were about to descend to the moon and they had to wait out a couple of orbits while mission control gave them the go ahead. All this time they were drifted sideways from their landing target but finally could finally proceed and all went well. Charlie Duke recalls this in his book. Other missions 10-15 had usually one major fault and some minor things but they all successful.
The moon dust is so fine that the space suits were very grubby and no amount of specialised cleaning back on Earth could get them white again. The men reported the inside of the LM after a moon walk smelt like gunpowder and the dust had very high resistance downwards but very little sideways . So when they hammered in the pole for the US flag, they tended to fall over and core samples were dug with special drills and even updated for later missions to dig better as the first landings had a hard time taking core samples.
The sun moves extremely slowly across the sky as a day on the moon is about a month earth time so when the later 3 day landings took place you can see the sun only gain some height from the first pic on landing to just when they took off 3 days later. That slow turning is same as orbit period so the same face is locked to the earth and only early probes were sent around back of moon (dark side) to see that sides features are not as flat and more mountainous overall. Sadly no alien bases were photographed ! But with no relay satellite, comms with Earth goes quiet when they on the back side each orbit.
For those that dont believe all this happened. You know its possible to fake this high fidelity footage now but in 1960's definitely not, plus 1/3 of a ton of ultra dry and sun exposed moon soil and rocks returned that were distributed to different labs on Earth for analysis BUT the most proof the world has, is that the communications were monitored by various countries dishes and relayed to mission control in Huston. In fact others could listen that had the equipment and these signals were back and forth and timed for distance and direction always moving away from Earth. That CANT be faked and its the only REAL time proof these took place. Plus you have all the data also being fed to the engineers monitoring systems ect; so many people and computers tracking the craft. Of course the Russians way back landed a probe and successfully brought back a soil sample so they have that just no man landings.
Also finally there are 6 laser reflectors left behind where anyone with laser equipment can bounce a laser off these and time the return time (about 2.5 secs) to prove than man indeed placed these on the moon 50 years ago.
Interesting thanks. Not 13 though

Straight up. Those dumbasses just take one concept and mess with it like children, even doctoring videos themselves, by speeding them up and making things look cartoonish on purpose, especially the docking maneuvers. They have mental problems.
Why don't you watch the ACTUAL lunar launch. th-cam.com/video/9HQfauGJaTs/w-d-xo.html are you seriously trying to tell me that this is real? I can't understand how anyone can watch this as an adult and believe it. Considering how much propulsion it takes to leave earth, you have a lot of explaining to do. Or just cling to your NASA bible like your mother's skirt.
Main objective was to drill into the moon's crust and bring back samples. ALL 6 FAILED TO DO SO. They were able to fall a bunch, play golf, and ride gocarts though. You fools are too gullible.

Amazing and informative. Thanks so much for putting all of these videos together, it really is fascinating to watch. Also, if the editor is the same David Woods that wrote How Apollo Flew to the Moon, I very much enjoyed your book.
Thank you.
Awesome. I've watched these sorts of recordings since the 70s.
After watching all of the Apollo landings, I still can't understand how some people think this was all faked. There's no way to fake all this.
"There's no way to fake all this." That is quite a naïve statement. We don't think it was faked. We know that gas pressure next to a vacuum is impossible the gas would fill the space. We also know that water does not magically bend to form an oblate spheroid. And finally we know without a shadow of a doubt that we are not moving whatsoever. You clearly have no concept of how these events are used to control the masses. What is it that triggers you into not being able to consider these obvious truths? Is it your ego? I feel sorry for you. Let me know if I can help, God Bless You.

As soon as you mentioned the sky fairy what little credibility you had, evaporated.

We know who the dork is. Now go and get an education, then some high level technical training. Then you won’t be a brainwashed dork and you won’t be lost.

Thank you for making these videos!
At 3:14 the garbled words are "Thruster light." The whole sentence is "Thruster light looks good."
Fun fact: It takes about 1.25 seconds for a radio signal to travel from Moon to Earth, and visa-versa, ofc. Might explain why Houston and the crew sometimes talk "on top of each other".
For those who think that all these missions are fake, do these three things (I doubt you can though...)
Download KSP (Kerbal space program), watch a few tutorials on youtube, build your own mission to land on the Moon (Mun)... learn some physics, then use some modules to let the computer doing the excellent job (like on real missions), and enjoy your "Eagle" landing on the moon. Trust me, the day you'll be able to do that, you will stop to be a flat-earth follower.
Flat earth folloewer???? Im not a fucking flat earth follower, neither a lot of people that thinks the same: big big fake!!!
Not sure how it's called in english, but their enthousiasm is making me enthousiastic as well.
Trying to imagine what it must've been like.
I have always been impressed with this kind of stuff. Too bad there is nobody in my personal environment that is also into this to share it with. :-)
How is your personal environment nowadays?
@@erikbakker1531 Pretty much the same, thanks for asking Erik. ;-)
A buddy of mine was on the ship that recovered the Apollo 17 capsule. He managed to get a small, loose piece of the capsule, mounted it and gave it to his mother. I'm going to show him this video.
Great video. I love the explanatory comments.
You just love fable's.
@@DogSerious Dog Serious you wouldn't know what was real or what was fake if it bit you in your stupid ass.... I'm a troll and you can't out-troll me !!!!
How can you not have a smile on your face listening to Cernan?
Aldrin said once something like..'when someone *finally* decides to land on the moon again, they will discover just how difficult it is.'
These are so fantastic to hear exactly what was going on in the landers during decent thanks for sharing this
Gotta love Gene Cernan, boyish excitement, just like us "normal guys" would be like. RIP Geno.
Why do I keep coming back to watch this descent? The last great adventure of the 20th Century.
so cool to experience it this way. thank you!
These men were REAL heroes. ❤❤
Awesome! I know the truth when I hear it and this was not something they can fake, not with all of those details and excitement ! Very proud for the Apollo missions...
"The most epic moment of my life " - Gene Cernan
Dear Sir: At 5:39, the dialogue you have, 'got the weight building up..' is not correct. The verbage should be 'thrust to weight building up...'. Probably a minor point, but worth a check. Thank you very much.
Hi. Thank you for your comment. Great catch! Yes, you're correct. He's saying 'Thrust to weight', not 'Got the weight'. I'll pass on your correction to the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal, my source for the transcript.
Dave, Eric Jones of the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal sends his thanks. Could you contact him concerning acknowledgement? history.nasa.gov/alsj/
Какая тут чувствуется разница в общении между двумя посадками 11 и 17 Аполлонов.. ощущается какое появилось доверие к системам корабля и уверенность что посадка обязательно произойдет.
yes-
An absolutely unique and unparalleled time in our history when our science and its machines where sufficiently advanced that to some it was all indistinguishable from magic..
The astronauts sounded like they were running a boat up the mississippi for the ten thousandths time. Ez peasy.
practiced it enough times in a simulator.
I was only 2 years old when Apollo 11 landed at 3PM (in France) and I remember it like if it was yesterday!
That is so incredible! I have never seen this before, talk about detail! Sure don't understand WHY there's no more views than 32k!?!? Guess people are more interested in horse crap I'm afraid.
Typed in horse crap on the search bar and sure enough a video has more than double the current 75k views this video has.
That's because most people nowadays realise it was a hoax.
That shadow - it always gets me. The shadow is as big as the LM projected at that angle onto the surface so if you were standing about as far away as where the shadow was but off to one side and looking up at the sky, that's the shape of the descending LM you'd see.
This is incredible. Well done.
Wow. Watching that in real time made me think about just how close Apollo 11's descent fuel really was to bingo.
Yep., Armstrong had to do a bit of manual flying to find a safe spot. He had less than 30 seconds to get on the surface, or they wouldn't have had enough fuel to get back up. That's why Mission Control said that they had a bunch of guys about to turn blue. They were crossing their fingers and holding their breath. That's *real* space drama.
that was the last time human been on the moon :-(
That was GREAT!!! Thoroughly enjoyable.
The epitome of awesomeness....
So wait, how did they fake that descent footage? No CGI so it must be a scale model… but what scale? They descend from 15,000 feet to the ground. The model of the moon’s surface would have to be literally miles across, assuming the lander model and camera are microscopic (impossible even today).
Y'know what that means?
It's not fake, it's real.
No stress in their voices, like they're reading from a script. Tough guys!
Excitable pilots are usually dead pilots. Test pilots, doubly so.
Almostfm: Great point . . .
They had simulated this many times. It was very much like a practiced script, but for real this time.
FYI..they were reading a script..
Mary Clark,
Before every jetliner takeoff, the pilot goes through a carefully scripted checkout procedure. So airplane flights must be faked, too?
apollo mission movie series must be awarded oscar
Now THAT is worth saying "epic".
Epic bullshit more like.
thanks for uploading
Should’ve been Jim Lovell commanding the final mission
Agreed but his wife didn't want him to go on any more missions.
Naw, Cernan earned his ride.
4:05 "Turning a system off, then on, is a common way to clear anomalous conditions in electronic systems" YOU DON'T SAY?? :D
Notice when Cernan says "engine stop" the dust spray takes a few seconds to dissipate. So the engine doesn't stop instantly but kinda burns out slowly.
That's assuming the film camera footage is properly time stamped to the audio, no?
The dust would take longer to settle due to only one sixth gravity
So, how do the the conspitards think thus was faked? We could not do a good fake NOW, with current graphics tech, let alone back then.
back then......you would need a great Movie Producer and great Stage Set
Watching the shadow from the LEM during descent is so cool. Wish it could have been seen the whole time.
There's no way a Naval Aviator is that good of an actor! Aye, hoaxers? Incredible stuff here.
You are right, of course. The idea that this technical (and at the same time very human) dialogue was scripted, rehearsed and recorded by actors is beyond ridiculous. And this is only a tiny part of the audio record over all the Apollo missions . . .
How are they responding to each other in real time faster than light travels to the moon and back? ISS live feeds claim up to 11 second delays.....
@@buffalobear2641 Moron. The analogue voice signal was going between the spacecraft and tracking station to Huston via landline and the longest distance was to the moon and back. There would have been some modulation of Voice channel on to a multiplexed S-band carrier with the telemetry data each way but the signal encoding and extraction was very fast. All of the ISS stuff is digital and depending where it is around the planet the signal has to be digitally encoded, put on to an up link to a Tracking and data Relay Satellite in geosynchronous orbit (25.000 miles up) and then beamed from that to either another TDRS and the to the ground or directly the ground from the first TDRS. During each phase the signal will be amplified which takes time and you may want to encrypt everything before send it and decrypt it at the end. All of these electronic processes take time. couple of 100 micro seconds here and there over a a large number of hops and other electronic processes soon add up. Don't believe me watch the same live event on the same TV channel on a standard digital TV, a Cable TV, A direct Satellite TV and on a Computer or Mobile phone. They all leave the Channel's HQ at exactly the same time but the difference in time that you will see them on the 2 different screens is measured in quite a few seconds.
@@richardvernon317 lol, this gai believes we went to the moon 6 times in 3 years and then NO ONE ELSE COULD DO IT AGAIN including America despite a 59 million dollar a day budget and every president since Nixon saying we're going back. But nice sci-fi story you wrote there.
@@buffalobear2641 You are an Oxygen Thief. Your Knowledge of electronics and radio systems is ZERO!!!! Mine, built on 36 years of working on this stuff for a living including space based systems. STFU.
So cool how you can see the landers shadow from about 1000 feet
what is this? there was NO moon landing !! ....just kidding, these stupid HB people still crack me up, sorry to hear that gene cernan passed away, he was a great guy
NASA MURDERED GUS GRISSOM. RESEARCH IT!!!
I love it at 12:30 (into this video) you can start to see the LEM's shadow on the near lip of Camelot crater.
You can hear the excitement in their voices when they look out the window and realize... they're on the Moon.... alone.... in a spacecraft made of aluminum foil. Would I have gone? You betcha!
Imagine the hull of your spacecraft made of Reynolds' Wrap......Scary!
Fantastic.. Any chance of an ascent and rendez vous version of this..
You can see the shadow of the LM in some of the frames....their footprints will be on the moon for eons.
there are no footprints on the moon.
...and that landing footage was magic, out of this world actually, mindblowing

We couldn't do it today, and we sure as hell didn't do it in 1969.total hoax
@@teresa67factoid95 lol like I said you really know a lot, just a little correction, we went to the moon 9 times, faking It 9 times is much better than faking it only six times, don't you think?
Amazing radio/audio quality transmission between moon and earth - and no " 8 second " delay. Can't even hear the roar of the LM booster rockets they are siting on during landing. More amazing is the LM lands on the moon without kicking up moon dust all over the place and leaving a crater directly below the rocket engine. Look how dust free and shiny the landing pads are. Must be amazing technology to pull this off.
@jimmyfly not stupid but you must be blind. Look at the moon rover's wheels kick up and shoot dust as it travels and compare it to a landing or launch - too many inconsistencies.
@Jonny Sevent true but it just doesn't disappear.
@Jonny Sevent lm's landing on a flat surface without any signature of deformation caused by the rocket. Does moon duct stick to camera lenses in a vacuum?
@Jonny Sevent how was the lack of any heat signature from the rocket debunked at and after landing and take off? Any proof of scorching of ground below rocket? Scorching of LM landing pods and frame? What temperatures are generated when firing rocket?
@@googtube8938 you seem to be easily amazed, and kind of incredulous at things you don't understand. Your incredulity does not warrant scepticism.
