Watch 'Apollo 17 - The Last Men on the Moon' here: • Apollo 17 - The Last M...
On Christmas Eve 1968, one of the largest audiences in television history tuned in to an extraordinary sight: a live telecast of the moon's surface as seen from Apollo 8, the first manned space flight to leave Earth's gravitational pull and orbit the moon. The historic journey captivated people around the world.
As this documentary reveals, however, the mission's success was far from assured. The Apollo 8 astronauts had just four months to prepare for the risky lunar orbit, and catastrophic failure would have brought a halt to America's goal of putting a man on the moon before the end of the decade.
This film recounts the flight many consider to be NASA's most daring and important. Interviews with Apollo 8 astronauts, their wives, mission control staff, and journalists take viewers inside the high-stakes space race of the late 1960s to reveal how a bold decision by NASA administrators put a struggling Apollo program back on track and allowed America to reach the moon before the Soviets.

Wrong. Yes people tuned in to false information. Stop Lying.
No one went to the moon 😊.
@@bluesky6985 Is that because the Earth is flat?
I remember watching this live. I followed James Lovell's history in space fight. Little did I know that his niece was in my class.
I found out his niece was in my class during Apollo 13. Our whole class went down to watch the splash down on the largest color TV in the school.
@@TheLittlered1961 Apollo 13 was a scam
I was 18 at the time, a top science student and an insufferable nerd. It never crossed my mind back then that anyone could doubt this happened, because it seemed obvious that we had the technology, the money, and the will to do it. I've since chatted with many Apollo deniers, and most of them are either too young to have experienced it live, or have so little understanding of physics and technology that their opinions are worthless.
I was a teenager during Apollo, and a science nerd as well. Became an engineer, recently retired. It's sad that with so much information at your fingertips today that people are seduced by TH-cam conspiracies, accepting them at face value without any verification. And you are right, listening to many of their comments makes it obvious that they do not understand science and technology, nor do they know anything about the Apollo program. Yet they speak if it with great confidence. They are a small minority, but I fear their numbers may be growing, as we get farther away from the events.
Well! I saw it on telly IRL....but we never went. Sorry to say!
@@SPDATA1 So I guess you fit in the second category. How did they fake the Moon rocks? Or being tracked to the Moon and back? Those are unfakeable even today.
@@SPDATA1 "I saw it on telly IRL...", and that's the extent of your knowledge on the subject, so in your mind it never happened. Maybe you shouldn't comment on things you know nothing about.
Funny, studying physics and engineering in college is what helped me get over the cognitive dissonance and realize this is all a huge lie! In what field is your degree?
I was 8 years old and spent Christmas vacation following the flight. What a time it was. Yes, Apollo 8 saved 68.
I was also 8 years old.
To be honest, I can’t remember watching the Apollo 8 mission, but I can vividly remember watching those that followed.
I remenber it well. My oarents had just replaced our old black and white TV, with a brand new RCA Color Console. We had the family over for Christmas, with a dozen grandkids running about. We kids spent our Christmas watching Color, Cartoons and Cronkite. Since liftoff a few days earlier, my parents, my 4yr old sister and i had been glued to the broadcasts whenever they were on.
Yes I remember this so well - I was 13 and it was Christmas day here in Australia as far as I remember - we all held our breath as Apollo 8 disappeared behind the moon. What a time for a teenage boy to be alive!
I had the privilege of being at the Cape for this launch. I was a (very) young USAF Information Officer taking a group of VIPs from Eglin AFB to see the liftoff. My chest vibrated when the rocket roared to life. I recently came across the slides I took, and am still in awe of the technology that was evidenced that day. It did indeed save 1968!
awesome story and wow how cool is that?!
How true is this story?
I'm not going to
Believe much anymore?
I was there. I felt it. I saw it. I heard it. Thousands of people around me saw it, heard it and felt it take off. I have photos that I took with my camera. It was real. @@ben8405
it's was just showtime...fake ...
@@Vic-hl7wm Try and prove it, then you might convince someone.
The Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronauts were real heroes. Very brave men, particularly those that went to the moon. If anything went wrong on the surface, that was it!
It had to been a mental sacrifice, days of time to work on the mind , the challange to ignore the tremendous anxiety wondering if you are at the point of no return.
@@Accumulator1 I also believe that Slayton and Shepherd had a real grip on the astronauts. If they didn’t like you that was you finished. I know that Slayton disliked Aldrin and he tried his best to get him off 11. He wanted Lovell to be the LMP. Armstrong dug his heels in and insisted on Aldrin. Armstrong stated that Lovell was too experience to be his LMP.
Because Slayton got on with Cernan, he was willing to forgive Cernan crashing a helicopter. McDivitt said according to the flight rules astronauts are stood down if this occurs. This didn’t happen and McDivitt resigned from his position.
It was the same with Cooper. He was back up for 10 and all of a sudden when Shepherd was declared fit for flight, Cooper was dropped. Cooper was a far more experienced astronaut than Shepherd. A bit of gingery pockery going on.
Superb documentary which brought back wonderful memories of when I was a young teenager and watched theses events as they happened. Nothing can compare with those magic days of the Apollo Space Program. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
I remember the flight like it was yesterday. What shocked me was how audacious it was. NASA was driven by an engineering culture which demands incremental steps towards reaching a goal. Apollo 8 went to the moon after the first Apollo flight which was a test drive of Saturn V and the systems in the command module. ( This, after almost two years of reengineering the command module after the Apollo 6 fire.)
The "Space Race" was still real which motivated the decision to try for the moon.
How high were the risks? Lovell's wife asked Gene Krantz head of mission control. He told her that it was a fifty percent chance that the astronauts would make it back alive. Apollo 13 verified how dangerous this new technology was.
RIP to all the astronauts that have paid with their lives 🙏
Three were murdered. 🚀☠☠☠
RIP you your mental capacity thinking anyone was actually inside any of those model rockets
@@David-cv1se just showing my respect to all the astronauts that have lost their lives all the fatal accidents that have occurred in the past, nothing wrong with that is there 🤷♂️
Thank you for the very interesting video please keep the great videos coming from Scotland 😊
greetings to Scotland and we will!
I remember it well as a young man, stayed glued to all the updates, and it was around Christmas😊
I listen fo radio abaut Apollo-11 on loon in 1969 wen a will in Mikolajv Ukrayn. This vil bi fantastik.
Must be true then if you can remember it was around Christmas.
As a 8 year old I watched the launch and Christmas Eve message on my 12 b/w Tv.
Me too, in Belgium
Great documentary of an extraordinary historical achievement. As young as I was this made me so proud to be an American.
Great Doc.
I grew up with this program.
Any Boomer who came of age during this time went forward throughout their career with this spirit of excellence in mind.We are are pretty much done now...
...I wish current younger generations are able to find an inspiration for their lives that is similar to what we had.
Gen X here and ib take quite a lot of inspiration from the early space program, especially Apollo 8 and 13 and the great Commander Lovell. Who's still alive by the way.
Whenever I need a good laugh, I just come watch N.A.S.A. videos!
When this happened, I was 10 years old and a believer in the bible, etc. because that's how I was taught.
Nowadays, I'm not even close to being a religious man but the reading of the creation story is still over-the-top poignant for me!
I wasn't born yet but seems awesome
I remember this mission so well. Fabulous documentary.
No np no!
No!
@@ben8405 Triggered much?
yes, it would be nice to get to the moon one day.
I love that near final line "Thanks, you made 1968". And I remember Japanese reporters who'd never heard the Genesis story ask about where to get a copy. They were told in the Bible in each of their hotel rooms.
Very moving documentary. Brought me to tears.
Excellent cinematography for the time
It’s all fiction …. Don’t be sad
come on grow tf up not even small girls cry to this 🤣
I remember that Christmas Eve, exactly where I was, and the exultation I experienced as an eleven year old boy sitting on the floor in my uncle's living room. And when they read from Genesis it deeply moved my heart. And I can still hear, like it just happened, their sign off: "Good night, good luck, merry Christmas, and God bless all of you, all of you on the good earth."
Great doc. Uplifting. Thx. So proud of everyone involved and so honored to be alive during this window of time in the Earth’s history. -Shows what we can accomplish when we focus and pull together. Cheers.
Rembering the contribution of Katherine Johnson [NASA mathematician]
Lots of us are glad she got recognized.
Apollo 8 is NASA's boldest mission till this day!
As a Canadian, the reason this mission still resonates with me to this day is not only was it an American achievement but you brought the rest of us along with you.
In my opinion it had an even greater impact on our civilization than Apollo 11.
And that Christmas Eve telecast was one for the ages.
I was thinking the same thing. the crew of Apollo 8 were the first to get to the Moon. Apollo 11 only went one step further than Apollo 8 and landed on the Moon. Apollo 8 crew were pioneers.
Agreed. It was almost spiritual the Apollo 8 mission was.
Still tear up a little when I see the vid of them doing the Genesis broadcast.
Mankind achievement!
@@Scottocaster6668 A plaque on the descent stage of the Eagle reads, "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot on the moon, July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind "
Very good documentary, thank you for posting it
The most epic space mission ever
One of the best documentaries I've ever watched.
🤣
Thank you - The memories of this event and the moon landing were indelibly etched on my mind as an 11 year old boy from South Africa following it all on radio (no TV). I will never forget the emotions it brought forth. Feels like yesterday to me.
fake
@@Vic-hl7wm Nope.
My question -- Why can't we do great things like this again? The Apollo program may not have solved all the problems in the world, but it brought people together, if only for a short time. We could use something inspirational like that now.
"Again!" 😅 We can't do these things because the earth is a flat, infinite plane with our "world" bound by the ice wall beyond our local sun's influence, the "firmament" of heaven above us separating the "waters" above that from us, and God knows what beneath us, and other "worlds" with their own local suns, at various points on the flat infinite frozen plane. Maybe! Why not? No less proof of that than the NASA B.S.!
I'm glad they got home safe.

Amazing Journey 👏👏🙏🙏
To those who disbelieve, I would simply say, that’s your right to think so. But, for the remainder of us, we can enjoy knowing what we believe to be so. I don’t believe in God, but I’m happy to let those who do to carry on doing so. See? I don’t need to make comments to them, I happily exist side by side with them. Try it yourselves, you will feel less angry and frustrated. ‘Cause you know what? We just don’t care what you say 😊
Nasa going nowhere since 1958.
You never went there. You can't physically verify that ANYONE went there & you can't physically prove your fantasy land of space exists

The crucial technologies, rocketry, radio, and computers, had been invented decades earlier.
"Good Stuff," merci.
I am still mesmerized how inspiring Kennedy's words obviously were, resulting in the USA actually achieve the goal before the decade was over. Goes to show he was loved and admired by everybody. And he deserved to be. In my opinion he was the best human being ever to have been president, with Obama a very close second. I write this from the hart, not motivated by any political point of view. I'm not even American. I am from Europe. Ok, the will to beat the Russians definitely was a very strong motivation, but still...
I was six years old when on vacation in Italy, together with my father I watched on a portable black and white tv how Armstrong made his first steps on the moon. Something I will never forget as long as I will live.
I think you lost a lot of people at Obama.
@@eq1373 Are you in this for popularity reasons? I am not, so your comment is pointless. After the Trump disaster every other former president has gone up significantly on the popularity scale. Besides, if Obama is so unpopular according to you, how come he was elected and than re-elected? And how come most of the TH-cam videos on Obama to this day go viral? Moreover, assuming to be speaking for other people is a sign of narcissism. I don't understand your urge to politicize matters. I was clearly reffering to the human beings, not the politicians. Are you MAGA? If you are going to respond please do not litter the comment area with conspiracy theories. I am resting my case no matter what, so you might want to save yourself the bother and potential (further) embarrassment.
❤❤❤ it looks so real! I love it!
30:06 Oh, silly little lady...THAT'S when the MOON'S out! Now let's get those snacks out there!
17:00 - I'll never forget that Time Magazine cover!!!
I kept our copy of it for years but eventually, I lost it.
Most people forget that we (the U.S.) did all of our spaceflights in full view of the world which compounds the embarrassment of any failures, whereas the Soviets hid everything from the public until they had a success!
Theoretically, they could have sent thirty men on Moon missions with all of them dying before finally having success and shouting, "Look at how great we are!!" when in fact, they were nothing of the kind.
Gagarin didn't fly his spacecraft, it was controlled 100% from the ground, so technically, he did little more than Laika! Still, you gotta give the guy credit! Flying on Soviet spaceflights was the epitome of bravery! I'm amazed that the spacecraft took off considering the size of his balls! He was a true pro and probably could have piloted his craft if necessary, I don't really know how much leeway he was given if things went sideways on him.
.
Alan Shepherd and John Glenn both controlled their crafts and it took amazing piloting skills for their missions to be successful!
One of the reasons, I think, that Apollo 11 was successful, was because we had pilots who could take control and complete missions when a computer was incapable of pulling it off on its own.
All of this was just wonderful and awe-inspiring. Crazy how back then humans had their eyes on the universe and space, and now on their screens and smartphones. @35:00 those were powerful words.
I was born a day after they returned to earth.
Always thing of Filoe Beddoe when I hear the role “FDO” … or Fido the dog… 🐶

Those were my heroes… only to be topped by Apollo 11
1:27 Flight operations director says 50/50 chance of safe return? I don’t believe this could be a complete quotation, while the risk was very high, I don’t believe they would have received the go ahead were the odds that bad. A failure would have jeopardized the entire program.
His wife quotes it word for word later on
40:06 here you go
What was never really clear is if Kraft meant 50:50 about mission success or 50:50 about survival. The latter is what Susan Borman understood, but Kraft in some interviews was more ambiguos, more leaning to the mission success version...
....dah the Decade was running out, as the funding spree...
NASA mission Director had said least 30 would die trying for that giant Leap.
"Threlfall’s was the first official wager in the Space Race, and the odds were not in his favor: Famous bookmakers William Hill allowed him odds of 1,000 to 1 “for any man, woman or child, from any nation on Earth, being on the Moon, or any other planet, star or heavenly body of comparable distance from Earth, before January, 1971.”
What lunar bettors didn’t know was that NASA also gave the moon landing long odds. Only months before Threlfall’s wager, a NASA-commissioned risk assessment had forecast the chance of successfully fulfilling Kennedy’s decreed moon landing at just 1 in 20."
Even positive Crew after "successful Journeys" >>> ”Armstrong told interviewers on the flight’s 30th anniversary, “but only a 50-50 chance of making a landing on that first attempt.” Buzz Aldrin had it about there too. “I think we will escape with our skins,” Michael Collins wrote in a NASA history, “but I wouldn’t give better than even odds on a successful landing and return. There are just too many things that can go wrong.”
Frank Boreman was in charge of the Apollo 1 fire and how to improve safety.
Glynn Lunney born and raised in Old Forge Pa.
Really? Go Penna.!
It was just a slingshot trip in advance of an actual landing for testing
No, it was not a slingshot mission, went into orbit for a lot of orbits.
Sure, but a slingshot over 270,00 miles, designed to come within 64 miles of tge surface. And then hit an imaginary spot in the ocean.
No biggee.
1:35 picture of a family from the fifties, says it all
Late 60's, actually
Thanks for not having Gene Kranz explaining what a great man he is.
Kranz did not work Apollo 8, it was Cliff Charlesworth as Lead Flight, Glynn Lunney, who did the big moment of LOI, and the new guys Gerry Griffin and Milt Windler. So for once Lunney gets the credit he deserves. On console, he was the best anyway as lots of the controllers of the time confirm. He was just mich more humble and never sought the limelight... It was him who did the most important shift on Apollo 13, but as the movie completely focused on Kranz, very few people know, especially as Glynn never bragged about it in public.
Amazin'. Sadly today NASA and corporations, landed a robot on the moon, more than 50 years from this epic journey...
Nothing sad about that though.
well If you say so...@@JonnoPlays
@andrese.castillo8869 what's sad about it?
@@eq1373 connect the dots my friend
The comments on this video made me lose brain cells. Flat earthers out in force these days.
It was an amazing time for the USA. What’s sad is we have thousands of times the computing power and propulsion tech today that we had back then. Why haven’t we gone back? The country has lost the drive and pride and cohesiveness to pull it off! Now Congress can’t even make a decision. Opposing sides can’t be in a room together. Everyone in the media seems to have decided their job is to breed hate. I’m not sure we will ever have the capability as a country to pull something like this off again. I’m so glad I’ve lived when I am and remember these wonderful times for the country.
Well said. The country was at odds back then, but not to the magnitude it is today.
Elon just launched ANOTHER rocket to the moon... The US may not have "it" anymore, but SpaceX sure does!!!
I was going to say the same thing. Wonder why we haven't gone back? Not sure if it will happen again?
I was living in Honolulu and was watching on my small black and white TV when I heard those tremendous words, those true words from Genesis chapter 1
What did the first Apollo 1-7 do?
Apollo 1 caught on fire and killed the Astronauts.
Apollo 2 - 6 were test flights.
I can’t remember Apollo 7
@@Eskimo8888Actually, 2 and 3 never happened when everything was turned upside down after the fire, 4 and 6 were test flights for the SaturnV, 5 a test of the LM, flown with the Saturn IB. Apollo 7 was the first crewed flight, testing out the new, modified Block 2 Command Module in LEO, launched on the Saturn IB as well. Crew was Wally Schirra, Donn Eisele and Walt Cunningham. It was a very important flight for the program, "Return to Flight" after the fire, and the basis for making the final decision to really go "all in" for Apollo 8. But as it was "only" a LEO flight, it is often overlooked nowadays or only remembered for the problems between mainly Schirra and Mission Control.
Collins' book covers the Gemini and Apollo history.
I love how the astronauts read from the book of Genesis in the Bible when they spoke to the world. My respect for them went wayyy past that same moon after that. 🖤🌙
He's working that gum
"Our Germans are better than Their Germans"
They did this on orders of magnitudes less computing power than we have in watches today.
No, they had some pretty powerful programming brought to bear, the problem was the computers took up whole floors of dedicated computer rooms, so they had to stay on the ground. The data was then uploaded to the spacecraft.
During the Apollo 13 crisis they basically confiscated all the university mainframes around the country to crunch their numbers.
Also, calculating orbital mechanics is not all that processor hungry. Any modern computer game requires thousands of times the power.

NASA SP287 " WHAT MADE APOLLO A SUCCESS ? "
" of course , the way we got this job done was with meeting , big meetings , little meeting hundreds of meetings !

WHY encourage every one NO MATTER HOW SHY TO SPEAK SOMETHING OUT !!! IS ULTIMATE SECRET TO
" MADE APOLLO A SUCCESS ? "
you CAN GO TO THE MOON WITH " DON'T SHY TO SPEAK SOMETHING OUT ? "
We actually landed on the Moon with a year to spare. The last year of the decade was 1970.
W0w, I forgot all about the bible verses being spoken during this.
Imagine an alien race listening in on that and thinking what kind of crazy species this must be.
Yes, it is easy to see how a God-less species, one that fancies itself so smart they created themselves using only their own time and materials, would find folly in something that sows doubt that they actually did....

I have a copy of the National Geographic which wrote up the story of Apollo 8. The headline on the magazine's cover wrote, "A most fantastic voyage." I always thought that to be such an appropriate cover headline.😎
