Books what I wrote, yo ► tinyurl.com/ycnl5bo3
More spacey stuff and some recommendations below ►
Enormous liberties have been taken with this one; some of the footage isn’t from Apollo 11 (the mission we chat about here), but subsequent missions to the moon. Footage was really quite difficult to find, so hopefully you can forgive me playing a little visually loose with the truth.
Also the Soviet space program was barely even mentioned in the video. I’ve often thought it’s a bit sad that the Soviet Union got the first satellite into space, the first doggos (let’s not discuss it), the first man, the first woman, the first probe to the moon, the first spacewalk, and the first robot on another celestial body - yet the winner’s medal generally goes to the US for reaching the moon, and doing it so brilliantly. (Which they did, and which it was.)
Not in any way meaning to discredit the US here, I’d just like to urge you to spare a thought for those other clever men and women a continent away who were - at the very same time - also taking marvellous and brave strides into space.
I’ve had quite a fascination with the Apollo program over the years, and space in general. If it’s something you’re interested in too, here’s the stuff I really, really enjoyed reading and watching. (No one’s paying me for this, I just dig them. The audiobook versions are great too.)

Before uploading this video I had a fairly long conversation with a meme-knowledgeable friend about whether dabbing would be appropriate in a thumbnail. I wasn’t sure what dabbing is.
She assured me that since an astronaut’s doing it, it’s fine.

God I always imagine what would have happened if instead of “A small step for a man, a giant leap for humanity” he said something like “Holy fucking shit we actually did it”
Beautiful
We can still say that when we get to Mars
I saw a reddit where someone said "what if the first words Neil Armstrong said was this "One- Wait what is that? wait no-no AHHH" and cut their radios out... It was pretty funny
Aniket Vishwakarma first of all, most of what’s written in that article is bullshit. Second of all, the article you’re presenting disagrees with you, since you say we will never do, and the article just says “not soon, but sometime”
@@pabloserranogarcia7557 and by sometime the article meant several thousand years later and we most probably will be extinct in few hundred years lmfao.
I was lucky enough to not only be alive during the moon landings, but to actually watch Apollo 11 lift off over the trees and buildings of my house in Cocoa, Florida, just miles away. My nine-year-old self repeated, "I have to remember this". And I have, so many years later.
i mean, it was a rocket launch, it was apollo 11, id imagine thatd be quite memorable
@@chickencurry69420 I'd seen several Apollo launches, both before and after 11. 17 was probably the best, because it was the only night launch of a Saturn V. Amazing. I also saw the Challenger explosion with my own eyes in the skies above my house. I won't forget that one either.
I was alive to watch discovery blow up in front of my fellow 3rd graders in class. The silence was absolutely hilarious as the teacher quickly walked over to the tv to turn it off, speechless.
From Cocoa Florida, you were how far away, and could you have a fairly quiet conversation or was it like 80db? I was 15 in my grandmother’s house in Orange, Ca. There were no decent TV remotes, so my grandfather built a finished table with TV controls wired to it.
@@jedgould5531 It's less than 20 miles in a straight line. Once the sound wave reached you it would rattle the window panes (if they were cranked open). The Saturn V's were much louder than the Shuttles, but you could still converse with someone next to you. The sound is similar to an earthquake.
Dude there has never been a youtuber or section of media that makes me feel so good as a human- as a weird thing exploring reality and virtual reality- just trying to figure shit out. Thank you for breaking down the internal thoughts and ideas and guiding them in such a pretty way. You mean so much to our weird timeline.

@@FormerGovernmentHuman The flat earther thing is hilarious when you realize that anyone can stick a video camera to a modern drone or giant balloon or whatever and just fly it up and look :p
@@Reelix extreme cognitive dissonance
I think one of the astronauts punched a guy who did exactly that, didn't he?
Reelix I don’t think any flat earther has a drone tbh
My dad was an aerospace engineer in the 60s. He worked for Martin Marietta, designing ICBMs, when I was born in Denver (no shit, it says "Father's place of employment: Missile Plant" on my birth certificate). He got hired by a NASA subcontractor in 1966, and we moved to Huntsville Alabama, where all the Apollo design work was done. My daddy was a spaceman, all the kid's daddies were spacemen. He worked there all the way through the Skylab missions, then in 73, it all wound down, and he found work in the nuclear field, and we moved away.
I have a coin from him, they gave one out to all the key people, made from the metal of the Apollo 11 spacecraft, and stamped with a caption and picture of the event.
It was a strange and exciting time to be alive.

“Or if you prefer speeding around the earth at about 17 times the speed of a bullet”
Ah, there’s those American measurements
Back to back World War Champs baby!
Brother that was such a good one
Lmao god bless us and our autism
It’s not even helpful.
Bullet speed is measured in feet per second “fps.” You’re plenty welcome to criticize that in it’s own right.
Average bullet speed is anywhere from 900-3,500 fps depending on caliber etc. So 17x faster than that is a HUGE range.
TheSpaceBetween bruh it was a joke
*First words on mars*: “this landing is brought to you by RAID SHADOW LEGENDS”

First words on Mars or M.A.R.S.?(Mankind's artificial relocation system) If you plan to go on that trip better make sure you know where you are going.
"If that doesn't unify us, nothing will."
... you're right.
As goofy as you can be somtimes , i started tearing up when you mentioned stepping onto mars. Just the idea that our species has literally endless potetional to explore the universe if we could just figure out how . That my ancestors after me would possibly be a space traveling civilization…it’s beautiful
😂You ppl crack me up, royally!
We haven’t been back in 50 yrs. and you all still beLIEve we actually went there!!
Like WTF folks!
How did Don Petit the astroNOT put it, “ I’d go back to the moon in a nanosecond, but we don’t have that technology anymore, we used to, but we destroyed it, and it’s a painful process to build it back again”!!😮😂😂
They claim they taped-over some of the telemetry and lost the remainder of the info used for the guidance systems!
You’re telling me the most paramount thing human beings has ever done in the history of the world, and ‘they’ lost & taped-over what!?!?!?
😱🧐🤨….🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
Exurb1a: maybe I don't want to be the existantial crisis - inducing guy anymore
If you look at the whole picture, he still is.
Are you kidding me? This brings me more sorrow than anything else.
I admire Exurb1a for his optimism for humanity and our species, but knowing that this is the age where we will only begin to explore the universe is utterly crushing for me. How many things will we miss? Exploring Mars, exploring the solar system, hell, even exploring the galaxy. We're alive at the gate of progress for our species, and we won't live long enough to see us cross it.
@@bojackhorseman4176 progress issa lie
Bojack Horseman Rather be the pioneers than!
@@vsatonthebeat4101 ok boomer
I’m going to have to use that quote: “we choose to go back to the moon and do those other things not because they are easy, but because they are cool.” That’s just such a good summary of why we make scientific progress if we are being honest with ourselves about it
JFK would have approved
a little too naive
That’s not the only reason though, countless advancements would not exist without space exploration, political boundaries could not be broken, profit exists commercialism lies in any new territory. Innovation, exploration, policy, politics, global warming, scientific theory. Hundreds more that make it a crime to just say, “because it’s cool.”
Space travel is the coolest thing humans will ever do.
It is a jfk speech but he replaced hard by cool.
You should really listen to his moon speech. It is one of the greatest speech to have ever existed.
Imagine working your ass of to go to the moon and facing death every second just to come back and have some people not belive you
And claim that you (a scientist) are actually a government-employed actor hired to disinform people, what a sad world we live in.
@@mister_bomb7777 ok and lets say i if were a scientist and lied to people about my acomplishment of stepping foot on the moon what would I gain by spreading misinformation to the the world for status. Recognition . There no point in lying about that .
@@_The_real_karma Yes, there is absolutely no point in lying about that, but some people just want a boogie man to blame all their problems on, in this case they chose the government.

2:22, Bonus Urine Fact:
Yuri Gagarin was of course the first human in space; a soviet union cosmonaut. During the bus ride out of to his rocket, - Vostok 1, he realized he had to pee. He decide to relieve himself on a black tire of the bus. For the cosmonauts who came after, it was considered bad luck not to do this on one's journey out to the launch pad also. The tradition continues today. (Given to anatomical constraints within a spacesuit, ladies generally prepare the urine beforehand in a small bottle or bile and deposit it with a throw.)
Apparently there was a somewhat similar tradition before US shuttle launches of playing poker until the commander lost a hand, thereby using up all of the day's bad luck.

Why are all of your videos so damn good? How much time does all this research take? The detail, the little facts, S tier stuff man.
"Bigger than Pluto by the way, well most things are..."
Sad Pluto noises
I bet Pluto is the reason they had to rename the condoms
Don't be sad Pluto, I know one thing for sure and that's the fact that you're definitely bigger than my PP
Hot dog hot dog hot diggity dog :((
@@e.k.o5412 its a brand new day what ya waiting for? :((
I suggest the first words on mars should be “Hello there”
Or "Ah shit here we go again"
First words will be "haha,,, we fooled them again"

NASA is total BS !!!
First words on Mars:
Me: weed
Mars, like the Moon, is a Luminary.
They are not solid objects that one can land upon.
Research Tesla and the Firmament.
Google image Egyptian sky dome
And Mars replies “General Kenobi”
Mate…you make some incredible vids!! Honestly they’re just… 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Awwww, you were having an optimistic day.
2:21 I swear that's the first you've ever laughed in a video
Not just in a video

SCIENTIFIC FACT : "The more you know about astronomy the more humble you'll become "
Then how come neil degrasse tyson is so. not-humble
@@littelcreatchure506 maybe he is not a real scientist! Or you misunderstood him !
Sorry but that is not a scientific fact, that is just your opinion
@@lowkey_entertaining9723 // Now now don't be so pessimistic, there are some points to what he said despite the world-views present here. Most likely, he's talking about all things a person can find passion in.
A person who can be passionate about astronomy will most likely turn humble at the realization of how insignificantly small the each of us are.
This most likely will apply to astronauts who have been to space.
Those who made it to the moon will leave all semblance of history that our world made, into a place entirely unknown, a place more harsh than the place we're all born from; to leave behind earth and travel to space, is to subsequently realize and acknowledge the many subsequent miracles that happen in the earth.
And anyone who is passionate about Astronomy, will at some point want to see this kind of view that captivates the hearts of astronauts alike; just breathing in a place outside of the planet is already making history itself.
But it doesn't have to be exactly that example only, nor does it have to be astrology in its entirely, it can be creative writing, singing in the music industry, dancing in a place vastly different from home such as a ballroom.
It's really just passion about this and that, someone who is passionate over something will have changed for the better, and become more assured; whether that change is good for others or not.
Neo Bilal might be wrong, but he's certainly not mistaken.
@@horence2360 this is really what I wanted to tell him, but I hadn't enough time to write all these magnificent words . Thank you .
I just can't stop watching this guy's videos help me
13:14 gave me the vibe of "apes togather strong"
Here's my monthly dose of existential crisis.
There's no existential crisis. What's going on?!
Maby he just forgot to add the twist, something like 50 years later this epic mission will be remembered as a lie and impossible and staged by unimaginative and angry hairy apes
SOOOOOOOOOOORRY
Ikr?
@@Exurb1a As the video is about part of the history of spave travel, I am fine with not having an existential crisis.
In short: Thanks for the video.
@@yama123numbercauseytdemand4 You're very welcome indeed. Thanks for bothering with my stuff at all!
For those who were wondering at 2:22, some words appear they say.
"BONUS URINE FACT
Yuri Gagarin was of course the first human in space; a Soviet Union cosmonaut. During the bus ride out to his rocket - Vostok 1, he realized he had to pee. He decided to relieve himself on the back tire of the bus. for cosmonauts who came after, it was considered bad luck not to do this on one's journey out to launchpad also, the tradition endures today.
(Given to anatomical constraints within a spacesuit, ladies generally prepare the urine beforehand in a small bottle or vial and deposit it with a throw.)
Apparently, there was a somewhat similar tradition before the US shuttle launches of playing poker until the commander lost a hand thereby using up all of the day's bad luck.
Humans."
Yes it‘s a free fact
@@rascalcreeper3472 Thank you, very useful!
Was just about to comment this!
Good eye! I had to go back and look for myself 😂
Thank you 🙏🏻
Why does the headline sound like a title to a science fiction novel? I love it. Made me watch the video.
Wow. the production is amazing
Me: wait... why is this wholesome..?
Exurb1a: Flirts w/ moon, and calls us monkeys
Me: Ah, thats the Exurb1a we all know and lover
and flirting with the moon isnt wholesome?
2:05 imagine being the astronaut to have picked small and then having to explain to nasa that changing the name hasn’t resolved the problem
Impossible... the massive balls required to sit on that much explosive makes the new naming system far more appropriate. The small was actually 10.5"
@@charpsteve36 I am convinced that rocket fuel is nothing more than concentrated big dick energy
Exurb 1a (?) is one of the best platforms I've run across on You-tube. Please continue to take the piss because we need it!
Man. I love this, thank you.
Love the use of phonix in ur video's! Truly magnificent! !
!
"... And then, we will learn to run"
That was the most impactful line in the whole video. Fantastic writing
i got goose bumps
2 centuries later: lol imagine going to the moon and it being like a big deal
True, but, like a baby taking their first steps, those first steps are crucial. The moon may not be far galatically, but it will always serve as the biggest first in all of human history; the first time we left Earth and went to another celestial body.
We may be able to run miles or hundreds of miles, but nothing (other than taking your first breath) is more important as an accomplishment as that first step.
At one point it was thought that travelling with the speed of a shitty old steam engine would destroy the human body as a long term effect.
Laughable as balls today.
May our current reality be laughable as balls in the future
It should be like a petrol station rest room by now
@Mister Physics you aren't supposed to have water in your lungs in the first place. You don't get far if you've already doubted something you aren't even doing yet.
mommy I don't wanna go to the moon!! It's soooo boooooring. Can we go to disneyland instead please please pleaaaaaase??
Now honey, you know the people of the 21st century dark ages only dreamt of going to the moon...
oh fine...
Yayy!!!
When people first step on the surface of mars I hope the words are like thus.
Today we walk amongst the stars; never further from home, never closer to a new one.
God, I love this video! Makes me cry every time.

i love all this guys videos they bring me joy :)
“For me, the most ironic moment in that moment in history is the plaque signed by president Richard M Nixon that Apollo 11 took to the moon. It reads “we came in peace, for all mankind”. As the United States was dropping 7.5 megatons of conventional explosives on small counties in Southeast Asia, we congratulated ourselves on our humanity: we could do no harm on this lifeless rock” -Carl Sagan
Does anyone really buy that in 200 years in our Star Trek future humans will have evolved into benevolent beings? I say not a chance.
@@clayz1 wel did anyone 200 years ago really buy that we would land on the moon? Pretty sure 200 years ago they wouldnt even believe that black people/woman would have the same rights as all other people. But hey, atleast you can give urself an excuse to call yourself worthless and dont do anything with your life.
@@clayz1 Unless we hit some severe technological stagnation, we'll probably have had to make some huge strides in that direction to've avoided some kind of civilization-ending "oops".
The United States _did not_ drop any bombs on the moon, Ryebread, so we went in peace.
Nikay Mackenzie You didn’t exactly take the high road with that comment.
I just realized that i might witness the time when i look up at the moon and see lights on the night side. I realized that just when i saw that image in the video. We might see that. We all might see that. Not alot of them, but there might be glimmers here and there. The first sparks of humans entering space.
Honestly this video made me feel something i felt when i read about the apollo program as a kid. The magic, the science, the technology. We DID this. This happened. There wheree humans walking on that bright thingy in the sky. This was everything for me when i was a child. And this video brought back this overwelming feeling of magic.
Thanks exurbia
@Prowler Cam you are 68???
@Prowler Cam I think they have plans to go back to the moon soon. Going to be such an experience to see man walk on the moon again.
Prowler Cam you’re telling me you’re 68 years old?
That is a brilliant thought and now Im crying again thanks alot
holy shit dude you're right
That was one of the best things ever! Brilliant, funny, inspiring, delightful!!!!
I love you, thank you for appearing to my youtube recommendations
