Question Mr. Cain Do you enjoy thinking over unanswerable questions, you know, mulling over things, along the lines of Einstein thought experiments ? I'm asking to figure out if posting 1 of my questions is worth the time.
I just want to be the cameraman who is always secretly at a distance filming the moon landings lol! The cameraman always gets to the moon first! 😂😂😂😂🤳🌕🚀
I wish to go to the moon. Traveling through the Van Allen Radiation Belt in a tin foil spacecraft extends a person's life to the 80's as shown by the Apollo AstroNots.
Not sure, but I think that it would be perfectly legal there. But I think that it would be a limited number of people who would be interested in going to space just for taking drugs? 😅👌😎
Video maker says this was “ the most thrilling , action packed landings I’ve been watching in many years ....” . Damn sir , if you have footage of the landings please share it ....
Apollo 8. People who weren't around at the time don't realise that 8 was treated with the same awe as 11. They can't grasp just how stunning the "Earthrise" photograph was to the whole world. A far greater effect on the street than Sagan's Pale Blue Dot.
Yes, I remember watching the Apollo 11 landing with my father. Also pre and post Apollo 11 missions that were televised. He passed in 2018 and inspired my lifelong interests in astronomy and space exploration.
And they expect us to believe that man landed, ran around drove vehicles, and partied on the moon in 1969 . With 8 track tape technology. Then come back. Uhh ok right
"Due to complications with Odysseus internal navigation system the decision was made to power down the EagleCam during landing and not deploy the device during Odysseus final descent." Now they have made a big mistake imo.
I think it's pretty clear that we're in a new Moon race that nobody (at least the public) saw coming. Apollo was getting a man on the Moon. Now, it's can you build a base on the Moon.
@@FeverDreamRemix idiot. Have you not heard of external mounted cameras, I install and service external CCTV cameras as a job and , in fact, most places have externally mounted cameras catching everyone who enters, leaves, and even passes by the entrances. Do you think that they have someone standing outside with a camera filming this? Or do you think that electronic cameras only existed in the last few years? Even in the 1960s electronic tv cameras existed having been invented in the 1920s and used in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. And NASA being at the leading edge of technology with a very large budget at the time would have not only had the best available but commission the smallest, lightest version possible. This led to the creation of domestic video cam borders that came out in the 70s. They even, shock, horror were able to remotely operate cameras from earth, thus filming of the launch of Apollo 17’s lander from the Luna Rover just 3 years later. But then again, you seem to be so consumed in a fever dream you wouldn’t recognise reality and just construct your own to hide from whatever you refuse to cope with.
I was 15 years old when the Apollo 11 Astronauts first landed on the moon. It's been a long time coming, but it's great to see them attempting it all over again. And it really is great to see people like you explaining all of the background information concerned with these incredible missions. Thanks so much and keep up your amazing work.
Soooo.. we still don’t have any photos/video or confirmation that the lander is upright and functional… the only thing we have is a confirmation signal that it’s able to connect to earths instruments. It could be laying on its side or terribly damaged but still able to receive a signal. Is there an appropriate timeline before we can say it landed as intended or is a failure? I know nobody wants that, I certainly don’t. But I am just curious. If it’s a day? Two days? A week and we get no pictures or videos..?
There was a press conference earlier. It landed OK but they think a landing leg snagged on a rock and it tipped onto its side causing comms problems. The experiments should still be successful and hopefully images will be taken over the weekend from EagleCam.
@@tonywells6990it is worth noting that it snagging on a rock is not yet confirmed and should not be taken as the end all be all. As they said, it could have been caused by the slope itself or damage to the leg earlier. They didn't mention it, but it could have also been caused by the shifting of the surface where they hit one weaker spot in the soil causing a tilt.
We were all sent home from school the day of the 1st moon landing, the headmaster said there would never again be an opportunity to see the first ever landing of man on the moon as it happened. We were lucky enough to have television making that possible.
I can only compare that to Elvis’s last performance or Evel Knievel’s live jumps. Let’s hope we never learn the landing was a hoax. That would be shattering for any age
huh? july 20 1969 was a sunday. you went to school on sundays? i remember it well because we were up in yosemite camping and a guy had a generator in the campground running to power his tv
@@gregh7457 I'm guessing it might have something to do with the fact that I'm on the side of the world ahead of the US 🙂, it was 6:17am on Monday the 21st here. I could say one of us got it wrong, but due to the marvels of geographic time we're both right. 🙂
BTW, I have a great deal of respect for the skill you have in remembering or knowing (as the case may be) that it was a Sunday. I was a young teen at the time living in a small country town with a lot distractions so I only remember the circumstances, not the details. I even had to look up the time to have it in context. It was quite the technical achievement to have something that was happening on the moon broadcast to nearly every corner (on a sphere? Sorry) of the globe so far back.

I do remember the early years of space exploration. I was just a first grade student at t university(more on that shortly...) but was fortunate enough to be fairly close to NASA's base in Texas, and like so many of us the Old Man was just as interested, so we went to see the first boosters that were being displayed. The Atlas rocket was Huge! But of course I was still quite young, and small. I've been avidly following the evolution of our efforts both great and tragic ever since. My family was living in College Station Texas at that time while my father was going to Texas A&M working on his masters in agronomy. That's where I started going to school. There is no. Board of Education in that town, just A&M. I need to replace my school tye, I lost t last one over 5 years ago. Keep up t good work.
Yes i did watch the lunar landings. It was a great time of global unity, all of mankind realising what we are capable of. We all huddled around primative tv sets and radios and at night, looked up at the moon knowing we had visited.
Since you asked... I remember 1969 and my parents waking us all up in (what seemed like) the middle of the night, and telling me and my sisters that people had landed on the moon. I have nothing except brief black and white images in my brain. I was only 8 years old, but I could tell that it was pretty momentous. My parents said "You'll remember this your whole life," and what do you know-- that is one of the few existing memories of my childhood.
very well informative and to the point. I love this channel and going to subscribe. you make it easy to understand with the wealth of information you have. Keep up the excellent informative tools to help us stay informed.
I just watched a NASA briefing that suggested Odysseus might be on its side. Tipped over. Hasn't deployed the selfie stick yet. Plan is to do it later to get a good view of lander from the ground. I would not call this a complete failure. Maybe a 10% fail??
@@frasercainI mean, according to the directors, they said all their vital instrument are on the other side, so it should be fine. The fact that they have communication and will be able to see around the craft is vital information for the future.
The Eagle cam was never deployed and isn't yet. It was disabled when they did the reboot. I had a bad feeling since they were not releasing images. Probably they were very busy and didn't think to say: "hey guys, we haven't yet launched the eagle cam" everything is "nominal". JTBC the module being sideways, seem to have nothing to do with the eagle cam not deploying YET.
Hi Fraser, I'm not sure if this question has been asked here, but considering the lunar regolith has been known to be found to be a good material to manufacture glass, would the silicates on the surface be capable of producing good glass for fibre-optic cables, and if so, would the 1/6 gravity environment on the moon contribute even more so to the quality of the fibre?
It seems that they cannot afford to affix a dang Gopro to the craft and record the entire event. Next time they may borrow mine. Bought it off Ebay for under $100
We went to a friend's house to watch the 1st moon landing because they had one of those new fangled semi-round screen COLOR TV's and all we had at the time was Black & White. Very exciting
We - humanity - are doing so many incredible, awesome things in space these days it ALMOST gives me hope for the future. I really would like to live out my old age in space. Once my bones really start creakin I'd like to go up there and not come back down.
It's a small private company that built their own lander and successfully landed it, although it tipped over. It's not like they spent $100 billion on it.
@@donmoore7785plus, to add on to your comment, Apollo 11 only succeeded because Armstrong took control. If I recall correctly they were likely going to crash.
@@donmoore7785There were successful unmanned landings in the sixties as well though. I think one lander even brought back samples. The sheer amount of money invested in those days probably made all the difference.
Thank you for all you do. You are a master storyteller and can condense material into edible chunks like none other. I wish there was content like this all over TH-cam instead of the clickbait and monetary filler that abounds here.
54 years after an 11 hour live broadcast... and we have to wait till this weekend to "hopefully get a picture" (he literally said "a picture" in their press conference Friday (the day after landing). I guess despite all the amazing leaps and bounds advances in communication and image rendering and compression, we no longer can transmit live. Is this considered a "success"? I guess considering it was un(huMANned) it's a small step for humAinKind.
Hear me out here, maybe it is because the location they went to is in a much more difficult location to receive signal from. Y'all keep forgetting this fact. We were able to get a live feed from Apollo because we had a direct line of sight with them. We can't get a live feed from the South Pole because it is much more difficult to line up communications. Not to mention, the guy literally said that the team is all exhausted and they are giving them rest over the weekend. It is going to take time.
@@troybaxter heard. And I watch a lecture from months ago, they said the reason for the South Pole was because this design, resulting in a much longer orbit (rather elliptical) to land. South Pole for the specs. Still... could have been live streaming the entire trip. Solar.
@@AnotherScreenname they actually couldn't stream the entire trip because the lander would go behind the moon for brief periods of time (~27 minutes). They also brought up the point that they knowingly lost communication when the lander stopped and orientated itself to land vertically. At that point they wouldn't have had time to reestablish that connection until after it landed.
@@chistinelane I think it must be the Dunning Kruger Effect. I have acquaintances whom I know are unable to balance their checkbooks or even get themselves to work on time, yet they are snickering because the lander “fell over the moon”.
I used to live in Houston and got to visit NASA there. They had an example of the moon lander the astronauts used. And honest, the shell of the craft was like a combo of mylar and aluminum foil. Maybe just Aluminum foil. Literally just a few mm thick. The astronauts though kept their space suits on the entire time. I guess if you are not worried about creating an atmosphere to breath it doesn't take much at all to keep "space" out of your craft. Crazy. lol
I guess we have different definitions of "successful". I would consider successful meaning A) they provide visual proof as the event is happening and B) it lands and stays upright.
You would think for a private company wanting investment they would put on the best advertising campaign they could, ie 24h streaming of the mission from multiple cameras, including looking back at Earth. They would have captivated the world. 🤔
How did Russia's Lunokhod manage to travel around the Moon for 321 days? "During its 322 Earth days of operations, Lunokhod 1 travelled 10,540 metres (6.55 miles) and returned more than 20,000 TV images and 206 high-resolution panoramas. In addition, it performed 25 lunar soil analyses with its RIFMA x-ray fluorescence spectrometer and used its penetrometer at 500 different locations. " Hmm... In 1971... and yet NO country has repeated anything like Lunokhod, despite vastly cheaper and much better camera, computer and radio technology... LOL.
🌕🚀 USA's historic moon landing still captivates our imagination! Perseverance faces challenges, but the excitement of space exploration never wanes. New Glenn's vertical ascent promises a thrilling future for space travel! 🛰👩🚀
Eagle Eye was not deployed. Also, the laser range finder did not really fail. They just forgot to remove the "remove before flight" tag which prevented it from turning on by accident on the ground.
100% agree about the IM-1 presentation quality! I remember it wasn't long ago that EVERY NASA presentation had scuffed audio or bad real time direction. We even had a meme about NASA technical difficulties bingo. NASA did great and the Intuitive Machines folks were absolutely incredible with how much they shared and how they shared it. Also have to mention how cool that circular mission control with the curved monitors was. Right up there with Rocket Lab's pristine black mission control that looks more like a recording studio than a space ops center.
I have wondered this for decades too. The only thing I can think of is that an arm and dust would scratch the glass covering the solar panels or static electricity would keep the dust on the glass.
I am wondering if commercial company lands on the moon,what are the international rules about territory grab. Is it even permited (internationally) to stake a clain on the moon? How big one and what about those who landed on the moon before? What their rights are?
What options are offered to keep space craft safe from micro dust. Is there any shielding that can with stand this dust slamming into the ship. Reinforce the Bow and lightly shield the sides.
I remember as a teenager, holding my breath when our astronauts landed on the moon. I can’t get excited with these moon landing fifty years later. It’s like watching a rerun or a remake of a classic. I think to differentiate from past glory, something new needs to be done, like a manned landing on Mars. Until then, it’s like an LP record jumping the grove repeating itself over and over. We landed on the moon with 8 bit microprocessors. That’s called super elegant engineering, doing more with less. 15:1115:13
3:53 Odysseus!? Really? The most shrewd and resourceful of all the Greek Kings? Son of Sisyfos? The guy that only wanted the girl, but instead ended up outside the walls of Troy, for 10 years? And was struggling for 10 more years to get home to his wife, surrounded by men wanting to marry her? That Odysseus?

Landing on monno is tricky? What do we make of the moonladning in 1969 with asronouts and then returning back to Earth then? That looked very easy more tha half a centrury ago!
They landed an the moon in 1969 and had no trouble they even got out and walked around, they filmed everything live, so why is this time difficult unmanned???

At 40 cm3/hr, it would take two days to make a standard brick. With double wall inflatables you can pour loose regolith between those layers. Why are we making things unnecessarily hard?
For those of you who dont convert units well, 4 oz is 1/4 pound, 1 pound is 448 grams, so the mission returned just over 1/4 pound of asteroid material
It seemed to me that it was having problems right off the bat which probably caused all the other problems during landing including have no functioning cameras.
I said that JWST detected iodine, but it was actually argon. Sorry about that.
All the iodines argon

It's a small private company that built their own lander and successfully landed it, although it tipped over. It's not like they spent $100 billion on it.
@@donmoore7785plus, to add on to your comment, Apollo 11 only succeeded because Armstrong took control. If I recall correctly they were likely going to crash.
Piloted landings for the most part.
@@donmoore7785There were successful unmanned landings in the sixties as well though. I think one lander even brought back samples. The sheer amount of money invested in those days probably made all the difference.
Good ol' Space Dad. With all the Space Dad news.
Quite funny to see the science people crawling across the floor in their clean room outfit while Fraser just shouted on
duuuuuuuust :0)
Thank you for all you do. You are a master storyteller and can condense material into edible chunks like none other.
I wish there was content like this all over TH-cam instead of the clickbait and monetary filler that abounds here.
4:02 The Holy Texan Empire achieves it's first bootprint on another world.
54 years after an 11 hour live broadcast... and we have to wait till this weekend to "hopefully get a picture" (he literally said "a picture" in their press conference Friday (the day after landing). I guess despite all the amazing leaps and bounds advances in communication and image rendering and compression, we no longer can transmit live. Is this considered a "success"? I guess considering it was un(huMANned) it's a small step for humAinKind.
Hear me out here, maybe it is because the location they went to is in a much more difficult location to receive signal from. Y'all keep forgetting this fact. We were able to get a live feed from Apollo because we had a direct line of sight with them. We can't get a live feed from the South Pole because it is much more difficult to line up communications. Not to mention, the guy literally said that the team is all exhausted and they are giving them rest over the weekend. It is going to take time.
@@troybaxter heard. And I watch a lecture from months ago, they said the reason for the South Pole was because this design, resulting in a much longer orbit (rather elliptical) to land. South Pole for the specs. Still... could have been live streaming the entire trip. Solar.
@@AnotherScreenname they actually couldn't stream the entire trip because the lander would go behind the moon for brief periods of time (~27 minutes). They also brought up the point that they knowingly lost communication when the lander stopped and orientated itself to land vertically. At that point they wouldn't have had time to reestablish that connection until after it landed.
Where do people get the idea that space travel is this super easy thing?
@@chistinelane I think it must be the Dunning Kruger Effect. I have acquaintances whom I know are unable to balance their checkbooks or even get themselves to work on time, yet they are snickering because the lander “fell over the moon”.
I used to live in Houston and got to visit NASA there. They had an example of the moon lander the astronauts used. And honest, the shell of the craft was like a combo of mylar and aluminum foil. Maybe just Aluminum foil. Literally just a few mm thick. The astronauts though kept their space suits on the entire time. I guess if you are not worried about creating an atmosphere to breath it doesn't take much at all to keep "space" out of your craft. Crazy. lol
I guess we have different definitions of "successful". I would consider successful meaning A) they provide visual proof as the event is happening and B) it lands and stays upright.
Ha, ha, the Rowan Atkinson clips were perfect! Glad they at least got some images back later.
I was 8 yrs old I watched the July 69 moon landing on a small B&W TV with the whole family!
Just found you, love your stuff, and as a HUGE Frasier fan, I’m loving the name.
I had the name first. 😀
Is it possible to use the lander engine to keep the lander warm enough to survive the lunar night?
Watching 👀 Now Thnx 4 answering my question about moon landing info.
Much Appreciation Gratitude & Respect Thnx so Much ❤
this science fiction is getting interesting.
hope they can really step up their cgi game!😁
Nice, new glenn look so clean
Great video...very informative on things i have been following
Always enjoy watching.
I was watching the landing on the Moon.
I can’t wait to see video of the landing and tip over that should be cool to see !
It’s in post production- should hit Netflix in 3 or so months
You will be waiting a looooong time. Cameras are unaffordable, apparently. Next time they may borrow my Gopro.
You would think for a private company wanting investment they would put on the best advertising campaign they could, ie 24h streaming of the mission from multiple cameras, including looking back at Earth. They would have captivated the world. 🤔
Can anybody give me a link to some actual video footage of it landing on the moon or anything like that
They don't have it yet but will hopefully get it over the weekend.
It didn't happen
Good luck finding any real footage or real photos of the moon or earth from space. They're all fakes.
I was 7. Yes, I remember the first moon landing pretty clearly.
How did Russia's Lunokhod manage to travel around the Moon for 321 days? "During its 322 Earth days of operations, Lunokhod 1 travelled 10,540 metres (6.55 miles) and returned more than 20,000 TV images and 206 high-resolution panoramas. In addition, it performed 25 lunar soil analyses with its RIFMA x-ray fluorescence spectrometer and used its penetrometer at 500 different locations. " Hmm... In 1971... and yet NO country has repeated anything like Lunokhod, despite vastly cheaper and much better camera, computer and radio technology... LOL.
Is the sun a second generation star or is there a way to know how many dead stars our star is made of?
🌕🚀 USA's historic moon landing still captivates our imagination! Perseverance faces challenges, but the excitement of space exploration never wanes. New Glenn's vertical ascent promises a thrilling future for space travel! 🛰👩🚀
Building bricks on the moon is next level planning. 👍
😅

Someone tell the Chinese they don't need more bricks.

3:59 I really expected a still pic from “Grease” the beginning of “Grease Lightning”
Eagle Eye was not deployed. Also, the laser range finder did not really fail. They just forgot to remove the "remove before flight" tag which prevented it from turning on by accident on the ground.
100% agree about the IM-1 presentation quality! I remember it wasn't long ago that EVERY NASA presentation had scuffed audio or bad real time direction. We even had a meme about NASA technical difficulties bingo. NASA did great and the Intuitive Machines folks were absolutely incredible with how much they shared and how they shared it. Also have to mention how cool that circular mission control with the curved monitors was. Right up there with Rocket Lab's pristine black mission control that looks more like a recording studio than a space ops center.
Look carefully. You can see the cow jumping over the moon 😂
Design a circular cage , bottom weighted, like a set of "loaded" dice. always lands upright.. Just a thought. ?
It will not fit inside the fairing but may perhaps be folded, expanding when the lander separates from the rest of the rocket.
Why doesn't the rover have a little cleaner/sweeper arm just for cleaning the dust from problem areas?
I have wondered this for decades too. The only thing I can think of is that an arm and dust would scratch the glass covering the solar panels or static electricity would keep the dust on the glass.
I am wondering if commercial company lands on the moon,what are the international rules about territory grab. Is it even permited (internationally) to stake a clain on the moon? How big one and what about those who landed on the moon before? What their rights are?
What options are offered to keep space craft safe from micro dust. Is there any shielding that can with stand this dust slamming into the ship. Reinforce the Bow and lightly shield the sides.
really great and informative video, thank you!🙏🏻
I'm not so technical I'm afraid, but I'm so fascinated. 😎
im glad to hear they want to set up gear to take new photos of the milky way
I remember as a teenager, holding my breath when our astronauts landed on the moon. I can’t get excited with these moon landing fifty years later. It’s like watching a rerun or a remake of a classic. I think to differentiate from past glory, something new needs to be done, like a manned landing on Mars. Until then, it’s like an LP record jumping the grove repeating itself over and over. We landed on the moon with 8 bit microprocessors. That’s called super elegant engineering, doing more with less. 15:11 15:13
Yeah right! Imagine how expensive "space grown drugs" will cost the consumer per month. Most can barely afford regular medications.
We did great on Mars thought after missing a couple of times.
Fell on its side and safety resting on a smaller blue lander.
I'll believe that when I see it...
Man you are awesome! Subbed !
So, between 1969-1972 all manned missions landed perfectly, and in 2024 using way more technology it's 50-50....that's weird.
Laying on its side?
Question: how fast and how far can or will the New Horizons probe travel compared to the Voyagers probes? 😀
3:53 Odysseus!? Really? The most shrewd and resourceful of all the Greek Kings? Son of Sisyfos? The guy that only wanted the girl, but instead ended up outside the walls of Troy, for 10 years? And was struggling for 10 more years to get home to his wife, surrounded by men wanting to marry her? That Odysseus?
Same🤣 But at least, when he came back from his epic detour, he got a lot of batshit crazy stories to tell😏 This rerouted experiment is basically an amuse-gueule😁
@@goiterlanternbase - I am just so glad he managed to get back to Itacha
Yea
I think you mean to say it's Myths. Lander included. People are more Aware of the Deceptions.
@@guyanaspice6730 - not really, only, Odysseus did not want to travel, fighting while away and was struggling to get home, plus, the son of a thief, rapist and a murderer
Landing on monno is tricky? What do we make of the moonladning in 1969 with asronouts and then returning back to Earth then? That looked very easy more tha half a centrury ago!
It's great we're getting the CGI images!- who needs real footage like India and China were providing
They landed an the moon in 1969 and had no trouble they even got out and walked around, they filmed everything live, so why is this time difficult unmanned???
I suppose it was a lot easier to land on the moon in a movie set. If we can't do it with modern technology, explain how 1960s tech could pull it off?
WELL...Apparently operating Joystick INSIDE the Capsule Over the MOON Surface Is More PRACTICAL Then Seating Inside Command CENTER on EARTH Watching the Capsule Descending On the SCREEN And Operation the JOYSTICK!!!!??
😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😅😊❤
And It Still TIPPED OVER!!! WHAT A Shame....Disturbing DETAIL(!) The Lander/Capsule is 14feet TALL!!!
And have 6 Legs......😢😢😢 IT Didn't Help....
At 40 cm3/hr, it would take two days to make a standard brick. With double wall inflatables you can pour loose regolith between those layers. Why are we making things unnecessarily hard?
For those of you who dont convert units well, 4 oz is 1/4 pound, 1 pound is 448 grams, so the mission returned just over 1/4 pound of asteroid material
About the weight of uncooked hamburger paddy.

Oh i dunno, Neil Armstrong dod dome famcy "SEAT OF YOUR PANTS" flying back in '69...
😱🤯🙄🙃😵💫😬
Over 50 years ago.
Therein lies the problem for an unmanned craft, and delay of signals - can't do it remotely real-time.
It seemed to me that it was having problems right off the bat which probably caused all the other problems during landing including have no functioning cameras.
The odysseus moon lander has apparently fallen over on its side...
I guess the design team must have a Flat Mooner mentality. They probably never imagined the lander could tip over. 🤣🤣🤣
Where are the pictures from the landing!? I don't believe anything before I see them
It's the swap meet canopy legs for me
