I want to see Buzz Aldrin play this in VR
yes.
So do we.
+rayamat01 I want to see the zombie of Neil Armstrong play this in VR, and then eat the brains of some a**hole who dares say it was all a hoax.
+Headrock They put a lot of hard work into that landing dammit!
too bad buzz died
one small game file, one giant reason to buy vr
and 69 likes perfect comment
Man, the soundtrack makes this a very immersive experience. I love it.
+NavidIsANoob It's a great soundtrack, but I'm having ContentID issues with it.....
+Scott Manley urgghhhh, youtube, am I right?
+Streaky100001 Well it's more the people who made the music claiming all use of it through youtube / adrev
+NavidIsANoob What is the name of the music at the start?
+Alberto De Beni thank you.
if you want to fly a saturn V to the moon : orbiter 2010
if you want to fly the lunar module : Lunar flight
if you want to look around :apollo 11 Vr Experience
if you want to be supposed to go to the moon but instead you build a ridiculouly large rocket with no aerodynamic stability whatsoever and you crash it into buildings just for the fun of it : KSP
Haha said well.
michael papadopoulos Orbiter
michael papadopoulos and u can do it with sfs too!
Mhm rockets and stuff
Lol I turned up my volume to hear JFK, then scott started talking again XD
+Bas L I think the full length version of the speech is here.

+Scott Manley Thanks :)
+Bas L Same! Thanks for the link Scott, was going to search for that myself.
Bas L same
*"We choose to build a space station in this decade and do the other things, not because they are hard, but because they are easy!"* --JFK with a Scottish accent and a little less hair.
This comment gave me a good laugh
lol
"Houston...Tranquility Base here...the eagle has landed"
"Roger Tranq... Tranquility"
My grandparents' generation put a man on the moon. My parents' generation sent probes everywhere, put dozens of men and women in space stations, and gave us the famous reusable space shuttles. Those achievements were what inspired me to study aerospace engineering in college. Aside from designing super-cool spacecraft, I wanted to see what else was out there.
- additionally, my generation doesn't have as much space travel hype as we did in the 50s-70s. Don't you think it's time we got it back?
Had our momentum not stopped, we would be on Mars already. We need to make up for lost time and get our kind back to the moon - for good, this time. After that, our next stop lays outside Earth's sphere of influence.
Who's with me?
I mean really, honestly settling the solar system and mastering space travel is the ultimate survival of humanity in my humble opinion.
Yet the public and politicians alike want to argue about cost when they have all the money, motive, and support they need to bomb hospitals and kids across the planet.
So logically speaking if humanity is to reach the stars and truly flourish we need not (only) a political shift in power but also a paradigm shift. A change in the way we see and approach the world and each other.
So I'm with you, but yes we are not ready yet.
I actually cried watching the video.. what a fabulous work u guys have done.. m a video gamer and m getting this to my game cafe in India.. from the soundtrack to the graphics to the reality inside the rocket.. omg.. m still getting goosebumps... hats off ... m really impressed... and i hope to meet u guys in coming future if luck favours... good luck and keep creating such games which will inspire the current generation... :)
Truly an amazing feat the Apollo missions, the thousands of hours of man power put into it
And to think, this was done in 1969.
+LazerLord10 Lol it probably wouldn't be much different if we tried again today :p
Except now, the astronauts wouldn't be doing calculus using slide rules and writing on the windows of the lunar module with grease pencils to get their calculations correct like they did then. (Yes, that actually occurred!)
danlock
xD Good point.
It would either by computer controlled or done with a projector on the window.
@@IneptOrange remember google plus? Lmao.
@LazerLord10 Nice
NASA : We choose to go to the moon (again) and do the other things. not because they are hard but because we haven't done it *IN FIFTY GODDAM YEARS*!!
Congress : *GET CANCELLED BRO*
NASA : SCREW THIS WE ARE JUST GOING TO BUILD THE BIGGEST ROCKET EVER FOR NO REASON
Conress: that's ma boy!
can we have one of these with apollo 13. that would be neat.
+offroadguy56 watch the movie
is the movie 3D and in VR?
I have a great fear. That this might be the greatest achievement of humanity.
Oh yea, for sure.
Nuclear annihilation will be our legacy.
And the ironic part is - after tens of thousands of years the planet will be fine. Just a drop of water in the bucket. We are the greatest threat to ourselves.
I do have a note about the game: Lava-Lamps(tm) we're not invented until 1965, but the speech with JFK took place in 1962. I have that very same Lamp for the 50th anniversary (1965) sitting right next to me!
+John Wayne Tingley Well since the speech was coming off a film reel it's not live, so, yeah it's someone in 1965 chilling with his lava lamp and watching archived JFK speeches.
+John Wayne Tingley haha well done m8.
+Scott Manley and there was a model of the luner lander which hadn't been finalised sitting on the table as well as a photograph of the earth from the moon taken on Apollo 10
+Andrew Maxwell Good point so the scene was from the 1970's then.
Perhaps, or perhaps much later than that, I like to think your seeing these images through the memories of an old astronaut, remembering the good old days, that's why it begins in a living room watching a recording of the JFK speech
Scott, have you read "Digital Apollo"? It's an amazing book. None of the lunar landings needed to be done "manually" but the pilots didn't trust the computer. Jim Lovell, however, worked with the programmers on the landing software and trusted it completely, he was going to use it if Apollo 13 had actually been able to land. 8^)
The music of the landing makes this so much better
wow, right when you were landing I looked away to my TV, there was a history channel show about possible live elsewhere in the universe with a scene of the lunar module landing was playing. This was just so awesome, right on time.
This is an amazing experience on the Rift, I actually became quite emotional
Hey Scott, thanks for sharing the experience. I love all of your Videos btw :D. greetz from Germany and all best for the Future
I get chills whenever I hear him say those famous lines "We choose to go to the Moon not because it is easy, but because it is hard"
+Joey Egleston omfg, reading that gave me chills
NASA's motto, more or less.
Astonishing. Absolutely astonishing.
It is an incredible expierence and was what sold me on VR, it really is such an impressive thing to look at.
I went to Kennedy Space Center yesterday! So this is a treat!
I cant wait for TV and movies to start doing things like this. its almost like a new medium for creating art and entertainment
VR DIDN EXIS IN WHEN THEY MOON LANDFINGED
MOON LANDIN FAEK!
yes
Amazing
Peter
They even caught the detail of the flag being knocked over for being too close to the ascent stage! Awesome!
This is why I study ever hour I'm awake and sleep 5 hours a night. One day I will get there.
Covalence Dust what are you studying ?
Physics. I'm planning on doing a major in physics and afterwards a second major in aeronautical engineering in the USA. I'm in the weird situation where I really like physics but want to design rockets for a living.
Covalence Dust The two careers aren't really that far apart, designing rockets does require knowledge of physics.
Covalence Dust well im in a more weird situation , i am studying chemical engineering and i dont know if that is corelated designing rockets
Covalence Dust i need help
This is why I am subscribed
K. bye
***** lol I didn't say even something bad? Ever heard of Cynism and Black Humor?
***** np...
i saw this one on another youtube channel and thought you would really like this one. VR is really nice on this one you can look around the cockpit, it looks so cool.
this more than anything else makes me want a vr headset
Great summary, Scott, informative and entertaining like all reviews I watched so far. I enjoy your channel.
Have you left out the monolith and the green cheese on purpose?
Wow... I can have panic attacks in stressful situations and that launch sequence made me pretty uncomfortable, just watching it on a 24" monitor! That would be pretty intense in VR, for me at least, and I can't wait to see more "experiences" like this. A submarine trip to the Mariana Trench or scuba diving with sharks or some kind of BASE wing-suit jump would be awesome! I've skydived 3 times and for some reason I'm okay with that but BASE jumping scares the shit of me haha!
I bought this the second it came out, had to remove my VR headset because of tears :')
Astronauts must be so vain.
Houston was constantly telling them how good they were looking.
im early! let me think of a joke...
people are STILL trying to disprove the moon landing
+Combine Soldier And how to tie their shoes.
The technology to fake the moon landing didn't exist at the first landing
+A Muffin besides, every piece of science checks out. the technology, the structure of the rocket, the calculations, it all checks out.

+Hashtagrex
Your joke was one of the poorest I've ever heard. It's not a joke because some really are that stupid.
Let's ignore all the pictures and anecdotal evidence, just because we can. Instead, let's use logic: Soviet Union never disputed it. Q.E.D
Oddly appropriate that you post this today, as I will get to see Buzz Aldrin tomorrow:-)
50 years later, haven't gone to the moon. Latest achievement: attaching a balloon to a space station
Good job government. I won't expect you to send us to mars in the next 100 years
one more huuuge reason to buy a vr
YES, YOU DO THIS
I'd genuinely love to see someone compile mission data from All of NASA's launch missions and compile them in a game like this. Pick your mission, and you'll see a cockpit and interior corresponding to the vehicle, hear the radio, be able to interact with certain parts, etc. Especially if even more work was put into the command console and instruments.
I think it would go a long way towards getting people excited about space travel again. Rather than it just being a thing that happens every day.
I know I'm way behind everyone else, but I had my first look at this on the PSVR this evening. I knew from reading about it that the capsule was cramped, but when you're actually sitting inside it you get a real good sense of just how cramped it is! I know it was mostly just a movie in 3D, but I really enjoyed it. I managed the T&D on my second attempt, but haven't exactly done very well on the landing part!
Just heard this is coming in Q1 for PSVR, looking forward to it.
The cockpit view brings back memories from NASSP when I played Orbiter 2010
+QuietElite We are still developing it! I have a few random videos on my channel showcasing more recently added features.
indianajones91
Nice to hear. It looked like that the mod was abandoned.
+QuietElite There wasn't much going on from about 2012 to 2015. It's only a few people (including me) actually working on things, but we are making progress. Expect a working lunar landing "before this decade is out" :D
indianajones91
Yeah I tested some scenarios, but even with checklists I had some problems and I also got some unlogical errors and things like open hatches even in the unbroken scenarios :D
I will try NASSP again in the next days, because I am still waiting for my 8GB RAM to play KSP realism overhaul without crashes.
+QuietElite Open hatch sounds like an outdated scenario with an up-to-date version of NASSP. Right now your best options are Apollo 7 and 8 launch scenarios, but there are testing scenarios for the later missions.
The window that was always clear was, I believe, the commander's forward window, which you didn't really look through during the launch.
Man, it's torture seeing all of this great VR content on TH-cam, while I'm still waiting to get a confirmed delivery date for the Vive I ordered. At this rate, I'll be tempted into spoiling all of the good content for myself before I get the chance to try it.
so cool this is what vr was made for
That was a cool VR experience of a Hollywood studio ...
wondering when you were gonna do this, I did it, it's sick!!
I did this on my Rift. It's absolutely amazing! If you have a VR set and you follow this channel you absolutely should give it a shot.
That is a pretty clear image for a 1960s tv.
Chad Barrett no offense but I can't tell if you're joking or not...
...
Hey Scott, or anyone that can answer this. I have a question about a part you used in your interstellar quest video. It was on your space station thing set for Duna? The green planet. The part was a radial mounted radiator. Was that a mod? I couldn't find it.
I'm too high for this, this is amazing! [8]
Yepp have to buy this for my headset later. :D
Actually the go-to LEM simulator out there is Eagle Lander, which has been around for some time.
curious: Why would they call it Eagle Lander, when other landers also landed on the moon? Because the Eagle was the first to land as part of the Apollo 11 mission, or... would it make more sense to call it Apollo Lander? If the simulator's landing takes place in the spot where the Eagle landed, that could be the answer.
0:26
The 'game' is wrong, a V2 rocket holds that title, however it was the first in orbit
+Nosirrbro correct
Michael Jones I was well aware that I was correct, or else I wouldn't have posted.
lol
+Nosirrbro I'm actually not sure about that. It might have been the first spacecraft, but never flew orbital, right?
Hans Dampf Correct, it never made it to orbit but what the first manmade object to go beyond the Karaman line.
I would've actually really enjoyed a full playthough with Scott's commentary, explaining some of the details in the mission!
+Pod Qap I didn't think it was fair to show the full thing, they're selling a product and I don't want to remove the need to play.
+Scott Manley Yeah I definitely I understand that, just a thought that occured to me! You could've pitched the idea to the developer, a DLC with your commentary including interesting trivia from the mission and such. I'd definitely give $$ for that :)
+Pod Qap I'd pay for Scott's commentary on a bunch of games! How about an ED voice pack Scott? ;-)
they left you behind. D:
They left the camera behind.
Scott, would you consider doing a short series flying through the Orbtier NASSP mod? There is also AMSO, which is visually a little nicer, but NASSP is the full on Apollo experience. I've always wanted to try it myself, but its just a little too intense.
Scott, could you make a video on how reaction wheels work? I have read a few articles but still don't get it. Thanks!
+Ian The Pineapple Based on what I know, it's just equal and opposite reaction. If you spin a weight counter-clockwise, the weight will spin you clockwise. The heavier the weight, the more it will spin you.
What's the song that plays while they are lifting off? I just fell in love with it.
Every time I hear Neil Armstrong (or his name) I think of the heartbroken Elon Musk when he found out Neil (or Buzz for that matter) were no fans of the privatization of spaceflight in general and SpaceX in particular.
It's a smudge on their otherwise pretty flawless career.
Im I the only one who still impressed they did this using a computer with less processing power than a cell phone?
nope!
but to be truthful, the computer only needed to know "basic" calculations, not much else
+Lord Zephyros I was old enough to watch Neal's first step on the moon and the Apollo 13 close call. Must admit I didn't know much more about it till I watched the mini-series "From the Earth to the Moon". I've been buying books about the subject ever since. The more I learn, the more impressed I am with the whole project and how they managed to pull it off in such a short time span. Especially considering how the early USA rocket launches were so failure prone. Yet by the end of the Apollo program, they manged to launch 32 out of 32 of the Saturn family of rockets without a single failure. What's really impressive is that they decided to forego the usual practice of proving each stage one at a time and instead went with one-up testing much to the disapproval of the German rocket scientists.
One of the best books I've read about how they did accomplish so much is "Apollo: Race to the Moon" by Charles Murray & Catherine Bly Cox. I really appreciated how they explained the administration point of view and the steps taken to make everything click the way it did despite all the issues that came up. Goes to show what virtually unlimited funding and the red tape kept to a minimum can accomplish.
I got a good chuckle when I read about the first Apollo V lift-off and the guy responsible for fueling it was looking down at the rocket from the crew access gantry and came to the conclusion that there's no way in hell something so massive would ever get off the ground. I can't say I really blame him.
+Lord Zephyros Meh. Not necessarily - a modern cell phone has more processing power than an entire server farm in 1980 probably. A cell phone wouldn't do a better job - they didn't need that much calculating power. I think people assume it needs a powerful computer just because it's a spacecraft - but a spacecraft is just a mechanical device, like a car, or an airplane... The only difference is it's flying in space. You don't *need* a computer just to fly though space. Asteroids don't have computers either!
The guidance computer on the LM weighed seventy pounds and had a clock speed of one megahertz.
@Scott Manley, for cockpits you really should check out ASET props for KSP
I wonder if by 2069 we'll go back to the moon.
I heard the NASA already plans a new mission to the Moon, but with more crew (6 places in command pod, 4 in a lander).
Огурчик Средний Where did you hear that from? (Not trying to be rude I just genuinely want to know)
Spacex is going to take tourist in a fly-by to the moon next year 2018 (no landing)
@@johan_va3642 At present SpaceX hasn't taken a human to the space station yet....2020..better hurry up to make that 2018 dead line...since 2021 is just around the corner...
JOHAN _VA it’s 2020 it didn’t happen sorry
You would be able to see the night sky, as it was intended.
But they are going for adaptive brightness I guess, to simulate exposure (of the eye, or camera in this case)
I'm from cork Scott i hope you get 1 million subs
thanks scott...
While this is quite awesome, the NASSP for Orbiter 2010 is just staggering. The Orbiter mod lets you play with all the buttons in the CSM and is really quite detailed and complicated. This video here though was still very fun to watch, and you can certainly appreciate the level of detail in the spacecrafts and the moon, although a lot of it is just a static model.
exellect docking! KSP has trained you well :D
Too bad we don't get to see Buzz Aldrin's punch into the face of an idiotic lunar landing hoaxer :D
That's a different video, but just as easy to watch as Scott Manley's videos. Different subject, different channel...
danlock I know but it would've been a nice addition :p
that would be awesome 😁
That's DLC
You sound like Deek Jackson a little. Anyway, I played this for the first time today and almost put doo doo in the capsule. Was amazing and fun.
Literally just finished watching Apollo 13, now I'm watching how to do it properly. ;-P
I need my Ticker tape parade VR experience!
Is it weird that I love the noise of the 1201 alarm?
I can't seem to get above an A for distance from landing site. Where does the simulator want the marker for an A+?
Amazing, although there should be more stars visible on the Moon's surface segment of the VR to add realism, the Apollo astronauts who circled the Moon and landed on its surface said whilst the Sun blocked the faint stars many of the brighter ones were much more visible on the lunar surface and you can see the stars in the Apollo 11 surface footage.
Apollo 11 was truly one of the greatest achievements of the Human race
its amazing that all the computing power needed to do this is equivilant of a normal smart phone!
Define "normal smart phone." Each iteration of smart phones has more computing power than the previous.
Spell "equivalent" correctly.
Spell "It's" correctly.
Define "this" (undefined pronoun)
Now explain why you think it's equivalent (i.e. exactly as much computing power as something: no more, no less)
I'm sorry you're sad. I hope you feel happier in the future at any time before, during, or after you've clarified your sentence, "Sad_Panda_ Bunny" ... if you never do so, that still applies because it will be "before".
+danlock iphone 5s/6s or samsung galaxy s6/s7
The Apollo guidance computer (AGC) had a 16 bit processor clocked at 2.048 MHz and it had about 2 kB of ram. So if you figure an iphone 6s for comparison has 2 Gb of ram and a 64 bit processor clocked at 1.85 Ghz then the iphone has 1 million times more ram. The iphone 6s's processor clock speed would then be about 903 times more than that of the AGC. Just an estimate though but thats a general comparison
Wasn't the interior lumination teal on the lm instead of white?
Please contact ksp2 developers for VR support, they will listen Scott Manley. Actually looking this landing, it feels that it's harder to land on ksp than real Life, because moon scaled small, things happens fast. One question: at ksp we burn retrogade lot with main engine to Make lander stop orbital velocity, is this done with RCS thrusters on real lander?
They have an AR version you can play on your phone. I keep messing up the earth to moon orbit and crashing into the moon. I guess I should start playing KSP again.
They say in Cork that if you buy a pint of Guinness you put a cork man out of work, as it's all Murphy's stout down there.
this is how i imagine movies will be in 10 years time
+bugz000 Make it 3 years.
I hope textures will be a little more realistic.
Wait is that colour switch music for your intro?
Anybody recognize the music from theseccession? "First Flight" when Buzz aldrin was talking about the day that they launched and all.
If I was Neil Armstrong, I would think of how proud I would be for my country. Also for the docking part I did see visual feedback but it off your screen a little ;)
Can you record such games in 360? Would love to watch around myself.
+Sander Datema The game is in VR, not 360.
+tmkr I know, but both are in a 3d environment. Maybe you can record everything, instead of a small part.
LCD velocity display?
Imagine a thruster breaking a window and blow torching the astronauts 😯
At 6:00 you zoom in on the "delta v range" display, which looks like an LCD. Weren't they invented in the early 70s?
+kwarsha Correct - although it does look exactly like that in the real module as well.... I assume it's not actually LCD, it just looks similar, and so the devs of the demo interpreted it as an LCD.
what an awesome hommage to this milestone of human achivement. Is there a version in russian? I'd like to give one to my father, i am sure he'll love it
This is definitely the type of stuff I am hoping VR helps to encourage. Imagine things like this being used in classrooms for kids to get a more hands-on learning style, instead of that awkward everybody take turns reading from the text book style we know. Had I experienced something like this as a young kid I have a feeling my studies would have been far more serious and intense. VR for Education! (And also gaming obviously.... obviously!)
I agree to this, school nowadays gets boring due to reading and reading imo. Nothing will happen if they use tablets as it's the same with a pen and paper. Would love to have this as a more immersive experience so the kids like me, will be entertained and learn stuffs as well.
Interactive doesn't work with a keyboard and monitor?
At the end, during LEM upper stage lift-off, I noted the Earth was more than 20 degrees north of the ecliptic, and that the terminator was rotated noticeably incorrectly with respect to the ecliptic. One or more of the star field, Earth and Sun were not positioned correctly. Probably all three.
Amazing, of course it cannot recreate the human emotion and achievement that must have been felt in 1969 or indeed the manned achievements from 1961 to 1972.
My mother said in 1969 the world came to a standstill and almost everyone on Earth tried to watch or learn about this historic moment.
If you have a powerful enough telescope, it's said that you can see the remains of the lunar lander etc, from home but certainly in an observatory etc.
Also there is talk of making the Apollo landing site and probably other sites a national or international park at some-point.
Unfortunately I can't try this out myself as I don't own a VR set.
ive seen a saturn 5 and i can say its huge like HUGE !!!!, if you want to see it go to Houston space center and its free :D
Out for the PSVR now
This is an interesting product. Not sold about the music, though. After hearing Brian Eno's and Daniel Lanois' work on the Apollo film, I can't really imagine any other style of music that fits so well...
I'd love for the 30seconds mark a brief change to Apollo 12.
Did they really do all they calculations and gauge readouts in US Customary units?!
