- On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon four days after it took off from Kennedy Space Center carrying three astronauts. CBS News' Walter Cronkite, who was anchoring coverage of the historic landing with former astronaut Wally Schirra, was captured on camera saying, "Wally, say something, I'm speechless."

This is the perfect counterpoint to Cronkite delivering the news of JFK's death. That was Cronkite struggling to hold back tears of sadness, representing the nation's grief. Here is Cronkite trying to hold back the joy, representing the nation's happiness, and both times he has to take off his glasses.
I had the same thougjts when I discoveted this awsome TV broadcast. I didn’t know how tough was this landing. They touched the ground with 15s fuel left !!
Best TV moment ever !!
Not long after this, Cronkite was one of the main voices opposing NASA and had a large part to do with swaying public opinion such that apollo and the apollo applications program were cancelled. That put the world at least 50 years behind where we could have been technologically, changing the course of history
Talk about a life. Cronkite was at many, if not most, of the major turning points of the 20th Century.
And those two events are forever linked, because if it were not for JFK's bold challenge we may not have strived for the moon in the first place. And no doubt his death pushed us even harder toward that goal.

If those Moon landing skeptics want to see what animation and special effects were capable of in 1969, well, there it is.
Have you watched what Kubrick could do at the time?
@@v1sionary100And what he got wildly wrong…
Ironically, if CGI was available back then, that would have been more of a technology accomplishment than landing on the Moon.
"Moon landing skeptics" is a very polite, generous description.
Those sceptics are watching this and calling the moon landing fake because this footage makes it clear there were already cameras there before the landings...
54 years later and this still gives me goosebumps like it did that night.
That's amazing. Did you watch it live?
@@bhaaratsharma6023 Yup, I was seven years old and fascinated by the moon. Three years later I got to meet and talk to Buzz Aldrin.
Did you see the part that says you’re watching a simulation😂😂 how was there a camera already there to see the landing? You never thought about that huh??
@@vicentecasarez5073 The camera that captured the landing was mounted in the window of the LEM by Armstrong. The image of him stepping on the moon was recorded by a camera mounted on the descent stage of the LEM and remotely controlled by mission control.
Bet you never bothered to learn anything, huh???
@@vicentecasarez5073 lmfao what are you talking about this isn't even the video of the moon landing, this is a simulation which was probably shown before the real landing was broadcasted
I love how the decent talk was so casual.
“That’s a slow speed for space flight”
“It sure is”
Neil sent me a Letter when I became an Eagle Scout. Still have it. Showed it to him when I went to the 25th Anniversary. Had the rest of the crew sign it.
That's probably worth a ton of money now
@@hovtchil873 Most certainly. Having Neil’s signature is rare. He stopped signing things because of autograph hounds.
@@risksrewardsrelics51 I have a signed copy of James Irwin's book, 'To Rule the Night', which I recently bought very cheaply on the Internet. I don't think the seller knew what they had!
That is truly priceless.
Wonderful a treasure you will never forget.
My mom worked for McDonnel Douglas in Cocoa and was selected as part of the group that would work for NASA, assemble and solder the circuit boards that went into the landing modules and capsules in the Apollo program. I was 12 years old when she woke my sister and I in the middle of the night to watch this on TV. I knew it was important but, it wasn't until I got older that I truly understood how important. It makes me smile inside to know that although she is gone, some of her work is still sitting there on the moon.
What an incredible story. Your mother helped to make history.
Thank you, she was a special person in so many ways.
Wow. Great story! Thank you for sharing it.
I remember my grandmother saying, “I didn’t think I’d see it in my lifetime.” I was 6. We had Star Trek, and Lost in Space and other things, and I thought, don’t we do this all the time?
MY (material) grandmother lived the rest of her life believing that we did not land on the moon, simply because she (with a 3rd grade education) could not conceive of how it would be possible and assumed that everyone else was similarly limited in their abilities, but also because her (very rural) church pastor believed it was a hoax and preached that to his congregation. Even many years later, I would try to convince her that it happened, but she steadfastly denied it.
@@youtuubaweird how they can't do it now!
They could. There is just none of the "can-do" spirit of that era, and everything is gummed up by political correctness, politics in general, and DEI. @@nasa_fanboy4434
@@nasa_fanboy4434 The individual knowledge of everyone involved and the “organisational know-how” of how to actually run such a huge, complex project has been lost after such a long time. Much of the equipment is archaic, and many things cannot be bought “off the shelf” but have had to be specially manufactured. Re-designing from scratch is cheaper and better. However, it takes years to build up that sort of expertise and NASA is going through the same problems it had in the early to mid-60’s.
Rocket technology has not progressed much at all and although modern computers are far more sophisticated, they are far more vulnerable to particle radiation than those that used low density integrated circuits and magnetic core memory, both of which are extremely radiation hard, so a new solution has to be found to a different problem. There is also no cold war imperative and no time limit placed on it by a president. We also live in much more risk averse times. All these issues are what has caused it to take so long this time around.
Artemis 1 was an unmanned orbit of the Moon. Artemis 2 is a manned flyby of the Moon scheduled for 2024 and Artemis 3 is a manned lunar landing scheduled for 2025/26.
@@nasa_fanboy4434His grandmother despite her ”low education” was certainly on to something. People confuse education with indoctrination too much.
I remember my grandma was angry when they kept replaying the moon landing, and cancelled her Bonanza show. She liked little Joe 😂😂😂
God I wish we had people like Cronkite today, he was phenomenal.
We do. The difference is us.
@@Dr.Schlitzwhat does this even mean lol
They don’t make ‘em like they used to!
They actually do, though. It’s just that the news, today, doesn’t want serious people, who give the facts, and tell the truth.
It isn’t about reporting the news, anymore. Nowadays, it’s all about pushing the liberal narrative, and brainwashing people into supporting their insane agenda.
If the national news media was unbiased, or if half of it was conservative, instead of all liberal, the Democrats would be forced to come back to the real world, or they’d never win an election.
They don’t have to do that, though, because they have all the media on their side. If not for fake news, there’s no way Joe Biden would be in the White House, and half of the country would call a man in a dress a woman.
@@Dr.Schlitz i don't believe this is true - Cronkite spoke (or tried) to tell the truth - he called out Gen Moorland and McNamara for being liars and war mongers -
sadly? the 'journalists' we have now? PAID PERFORMERS - by those that killed off the likes of JFK
Meaning us, as in the future reporters of the current generqtion could be like Cronkite. @@tobiasrieper6640
Wally Schirra’s commentary was great. He said little but he said it all.
He was a very good test pilot and engineer. On Apollo 7 the first manned test of the service and command modules he caught a very bad head cold and no gravity to clear his nose and throat. He got very irritated with the ground wanting the crew to work endlessly on tests, experiments, etc. He refused to do some of them and actually had a communication mutiny with the ground for 1 day. When he got back he was reprimanded for not following orders and he never flew on a space flight again. He was given this historic commentary with Walter Cronkite because he was the first to command and test the systems the new Apollo service and command modules. The lessons learned were applied to improve the efficiency and performance of the future missions.
I do so miss those old news anchors. True professionals.
Professionalism is nearly dead these days, especially on certain "channels"
Back when a newscast was meant to just to inform not to manipulate opinions!
Could you imagine Tucker Carlson at the desk giving commentary on this?
He wouldn't have made it on the air in those days! Too much integrity required for him!@@Fivepointstang2

@@tremsls🙄
@@tremslsgot proof?
@@tremsls The hardest part was getting the big rocket full of fuel into low earth orbit. That's when it was heaviest and pushed through the thickest atmosphere, did the most work. But nobody denies that the Saturn V took off and went a into earth orbit. It was witnessed by thousands of people.
Do you think the launch was fake too?
No joke, that CBS simulation setup was great.
Yeah, much better than I would have thought could be done back then.
It was a great production for its day, but the timing was off and we now know that Eagle was in critical trouble and miles off course. CBS was filtering out the flight controllers feed other than CAPCOM and they knew they were in trouble. One hint is the urgency in Armstrong's voice, urgently interrupting all for a readout on the 1202 alarm. This tone was very uncharacteristic for Armstrong, who was known as a very cool cucumber.
@@kitcanyon658My feelings exactly....never seen this before...
The animation from flight and Lunar perspective involved many of the VFX tech from MGM, that had worked on Forbidden Planet 13 years before. The landing with the flame animation spreading out was quite similar to the Disney animator that did the C57 landing in the movie.
It didn't look much like the 2001 modelwork or animation for the fictional Pan Am shuttle landing the year before
They used to say it was live footage
In this moment, these men were so proud to be Americans. So proud of the accomplishment. Such a great moment in history. I wish we could recapture the sentiment.
I think they were proud to be human
We Were All Proud To Be Americans In That Time In History.. 🇺🇸 One Small Step For Man,,,, One Giant Leap For Mankind.. What Happened To Us ?? I Really Miss Walter.....
I love watching stuff like this. One of the few times America truly came together for a goal that changed history.
they had practice at it from WWII
not everybody supported it. and after the first couple of moon landings, majority public opinion turned against nasa, and apollo was cancelled, putting us at least 50 years behind where we should have been now. not only in space technology but in the technology of our daily lives. cronkite had his part in it, insisting it wasn't worth it...
The whole world did.
The era of human achievement peaked that day. Still gives me goose bumps 55 years after.
It’s up there for sure. Pizza is in the conversation for peak human achievement too.
It kept peaking but the us government keep it secret from us till today
We have done FAR more impressive things since, however I agree when it comes to captivating us this is way up there.
Happy 54th Anniversary on the moon landing. I was only two when this happened. My mom said that they were watching this with me and thought it was amazing on having to witness this historic moment in space exploration. This is way before live cam were put on board the spacecrafts . I do remember later on in the Apollo missions like one of the astronauts golfing on the moon. That was pretty awesome to see. I'm so looking forward to see Artemis II(?) making another historic landing on the moon,.
I hope you're joking. You understand that the deception of humanity will no longer work. The global deception is a flight to the moon.
no such thing as moon landing, biggest hoax in mankind
And this time being able to see the real thing, the real footage, live... Oh man it's gonna be something...
I had the horror of being the first person to see Apollo 11 re-enter the atmosphere. 90 Miles off North Vietnam it looked like someone fired a missile at us. I was bridge watch on USS Saratoga. The xo came out and watched this red hot thing zoom across the sky. It took 4 hours and a call to Fleet to figure out what that was.The CO called me inside at the end of my watch. He is the one that told me that .
Slava Orbanovi! Slava Ukraini! Hail to Victory!
@@furerorban9324 You wrote: "red-hot Apollo."... So there would be no people in it.
I watched this at home live with my mother...I was 18 then. We held on to every word Cronkite was saying as he spoke......we heard Armstrong say "The Eagle has landed!"....she & I were so proud to be Americans at that very magical moment.....that feeling can never really be put into words.....you would have had to be watching it all live just like us to know. The whole world watched it, too....Wow...what a memory I will always have to infinity.

@@TheJoshA You think you're so clever, but while you're wasting your time on this conspiracy theory you're not seeing what the government are really doing, they got you chasing a red herring while their tricks are being done to you in every other way except the one you believe.
This brought tears and a smile to my face today. I feel incredibly fortunate to have experienced this landing while watching it with my family in our living room that evening, July 20, 1969. I was 10 years old.
Walter's "Oh, boy." at 0:15 says it all. He sounded absolutely mesmerized and almost disbelieving about what he was listening to.
Like you I remember that special evening so well. My family was glued to the TV as the landing approached. I took a quick look outside at the moon and thinking to myself they are about to land. I also noticed an eerie quiet in the neighborhood, everyone was home also watching the landing on TV. My sister said all she remembered of the Apollo space program was the "beeps", she was 5 years old when they landed on the moon.
Mankind’s finest moment!
Even after all these years, this still bring tears to my eyes.
Thats when we know the brainwashing has truly worked.
I watched the launch at my best friend's house on Wednesday and watched the landing at home on Sunday. My dad was at work and my sister was outside playing but my mother and I were glued to the TV. Daddy was home in time to watch them actually walking on the moon though.
My dad worked for North American Aviation (Downey,CA) the Prime prime contractor for Apollo pgm. I recall running outside later that day looking up at the moon and realizing that I would remember this 55 years later. My first job out of school was with Rockwell Intl during shuttle era. The trifling sum and magnificent return on investment of Apollo is one of the greatest aspects of this program.
Thankfully when Walter Cronkite was around it was fun and interesting to watch the evening news. Even as a kid with my parents. Not today. Thanks for the memories Mr. Cronkite. Shalom
I was 11 years old back then. I am an old man now and we still have not been back. I hope I live long enough to see the return and then to Mars.
I was 9. I was with my grandfather when the landing happened. My father was in Vietnam. I too hope to see the return to the moon and Mars. My interest in space has always been very high due to what I experience as a young kid. I was at Wallops Island Virginia last week to witness my first rocket launch. The Antares launch of the Cygnus resupply mission to the ISS.
Same here 11 years old and I wouldn’t hold my breath with even another lunar landing. Reason: too many fail safe sensors on those rockets and built cheap.
Because we never went. 😮
I so miss my now late dad when I watched this. I then was a 9 year old boy in Australia and he and I spent many hours together watching it from takeoff until splashdown.
I get the same feeling watching it now as I did when I watched this live on TV. This is great stuff.
I'm old enough to remember the Moon landing and even watched it on CBS. I remember Walter Cronkite and Wally Shira tearing up exactly as seen here. This is the exact clip of that moment. What didn't come out until later is that the landing wasn't as perfect as it sounds here. As the LEM came close to the surface, Neil Armstrong realized they were coming close to landing on a big bolder and he had to take the controls to shift the LEM away at an angle to avoid smashing onto it. As he did so, he only had a few seconds left of fuel for the landing and the low-fuel warning light had gone on.
What people forget is what a joyous moment this was not only for Mankind but for the US in particular. This landing for one happy moment helped the nation forget that the Vietnam War was raging and the US was losing scores of soldiers each day at this point. By 1969, the US was mired in the war against North Vietnam. During the same period as the Moon landing and all the previously successful US space launches, I remember having to watch each night on the 6 o'clock news -- on all three major channels in those days, America year before social media, having basically three major TV news outlets CBS, NBC, and ABC -- the nightly scrolling of the American war dead by name and rank each night at the end of the 6 o'clock news. After seeing the lists of dead for the day, I'd start my homework for the next day's classes. Nixon had become president and inherited a quagmire from Lyndon Johnson. He was committed to extricating the US from the war "peace with honor," but he was actually expanding it as negotiating leverage against the North by invading Cambodia and intensifying the B52 bombings of Hanoi and Haiphong until a peace conference was finally agreed to be convened among the US, North Vietnam, the Viet Cong, and South Vietnam in Paris. And even then, the parties haggled over the shape of the table until all sides could agree that no side was minimized by the seating (round). All this while Mankind and America was landing on the Moon.
It wasn’t real either. Who put the camera on the moon that recorded the whole thing??
Also the “1201” alarms @ 1:47, which could have caused them to abort, but were determined to be computer processing overloads.
I'm old enough, too, was between 7th and 8th grades, and a real Apollo fan. I remember this clip well, having seen it all in real time on CBS with Cronkite and Schirra (albeit in B&W). It was quite a day.
@@vicentecasarez5073 where is there video of Eagle landing on the Moon?

What an amazing feat. Happy 54th anniversary.
The Apollo 11 Moon Landing was such an astonishing achievement, it's quite understandable that many today are unable to actually accept that it happened ! And that mission was followed by five more (Apollo 12 14 15 16 and 17) Apollo 13 failed to complete it's mission and was a near fatal event for the crew.
you can tell who has a very loose relationship with reality by the comments from the skeptics on this video.
I wish we had focused on this a bit more over the last 50 years. Amazing moment.
OMG, I watched this live. I was 5. Dad made me watch it. Wow, I just think back to that moment and I remember trying to comprehend how people were actually going to land on the moon. My grandparents grew up watching silent films. My dad with Buck Rodgers serials. Im sitting there watching it with them and it went from boring to the most suspenseful thing I can ever remember watching in my life. The whole "what does the moon really look like" thing was so powerfully fascinating. I got a telescope for Christmas a few years later, because I was still fascinated because of Walter's broadcast.
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 17 and driving back from the University of Illinois that night. I had driven with my future in-laws to take my boyfriend back to school that night. We were listening to the event on the radio. When they dropped me off I ran into the house to watch it on TV. My parents were up watching. I couldn’t believe it! I walked out the front door, stood on the front porch just staring up at the moon. It was just incredible to me!
I was watching this with my family from Southern California. I was 12 years old. I was building a plastic Revell model of the Apollo Command Module and the LEM. I never finished the LEM. Incredible moment in our history.
My husband used all the money he'd earned from his newspaper route to buy a color TV, only to discover that the first broadcast from the moon was in black-and-white. (Subsequent landings were broadcast in color, though.)
What I remember is how quiet it was. We lived near an international airport, but no airplanes were flying. No vehicles were on the road. Everyone was glued to their television watching this momentous occasion.
When my dad was 14, Lindbergh flew the Atlantic. When I was 14, men landed on the moon.
I later worked for a NASA contractor and had the chance to see Neil Armstrong speak about Apollo 11. He was still using a slide projector with a round slide tray, which the audiovisual people were struggling to make work properly. (One of them muttered under his breath, "You can put a man on the moon, but....") Michael Collins spoke to our Squadron Officer School class. And I saw Buzz Aldrin at a local single-A baseball game. So I've laid eyes on all three of the men of Apollo 11.
It's wonderful every time Armstrong nails that landing.
What you see is footage from the simulator.
It was far too risky to travel out that far, so pieces of footage were put together to make it appear that way.
@@neilarmstrongsson795That might be why it says CBS News simulation.
@@neilarmstrongsson795 er, no.
@@neilarmstrongsson795 That's likely so. Both my Dad and his 4-star general bud who was head of 15th Air Force never believed it. Supposedly, with less than a minute of descent fuel left, Armstrong shut off the descent computer, took manual control of the LEM when he saw the original landing site in a boulder field, and somehow expertly flew it under extraordinary stress and not knowing where they were then going to a perfect landing! Dad and General Jim both being career USAF pilots who had flown 22 different kinds of aircraft between them including the SR71, called BS on it because they said there was no way in hell that without a physical baseline in 1/6th Earth gravity, flying the ungainly and heavily retrorocketed that could have remotely happened.
@@stevejensen3471 Well, guess that just shows you how wrong an "expert" can be.
I watched this in grade school at the age of seven. It was amazing. Walter Cronkite was such a staple.
A true professional, and I remember watching him and this on our living room floor. This was and is the seminal moment of mankind. Seventy years before we had never even flew. Speechless is the only possible feeling one could have, no matter who you are. I will never see mankind surpass this, and it was all done with less power than is on a modern cell phone. Mr. Cronkite was the model of a journalist and deliverer of the news. None of the agenda of today and it was monumental when he uttered an opinion on the air. He brought us through the 1963 Assassination and 1969 Moon Landing, I could not imagine anyone else in that seat.
Mankind's greatest achievement. Armstrong had ice in his veins.
I was up late sitting in front of the black and white TV trying to make sense of basic shapes as Neil set foot on the moon.
I was a very excited 11-year old watching this!
I remember watching this live when i was 10. Cronkite was the man.
I agree. I too was 10.

Armstrong had ice in his veins. That's why he as chosen after Grissom died (as he was original choice, so I hear. Not sure if it's true or not.) But Armstrong ejected out of a test run of the LLRV, just barely surviving, brushed it off and immediately went back to work!

Maybe the pinnacle of our nations pride in the past fifty years.
We were a Cape Canaveral last week, amazing place. Made you proud to be a American
Today Cronkite would be considered an extreme liberal. But from my memory he delivered the straight news without bias.
this was prior to Watergate and republican strategy of calling anything just reporting facts "liberal news".
Six days old and only have 203 likes. That's a sad state of affairs.
But Hunter Biden…….
Life was good that day. Cronkite is a legend. None of today's journalists can hold a candle to him.
I was glued to the tv set listening, relieved that they made it safely. I didn't get to see the moon while they were on it because of a cloud cover. It was just a matter of them going outside to walk on the moon. I saw the live television picture they sent back and thought the fact that we could see them was almost as incredible as them being there.
I still shake my head when I come across people who don't believe we went there, regardless of the MOUNTAIN of evidence that we did. Their mentality is, "I don't believe it, therefore it's a lie". It's no coincidence that none of the people who make this claim work in any of the fields they're criticizing.

So ALL those Navy personnel on all those ships, over all those years were all involved in a secret conspiracy?

We might have a new lunar landing this year and I’m pumped to see it.
Sadly I predict at least a 10 year delay. However, we did soft land an autonomous lander on the Moon today for the first time in 50 years.
I am expecting humanity to return to the Moon in 2028 due to delays with HLS and SLS. I'm pumped too, but 2026 would kinda be crazy as well.
This is man's greatest achievement....especially with the technology we had then. Truly amazing....
Remember watching that broadcast live when I was a boy - still brings tears and a thrill. Also, my dad worked for Grumman and actually made parts for the LEM...made me proud...made America proud.

The more one learns what happened and how it was done, the more one understands that faking the Moon landing was completely impossible.
Mostly they are just trolls starved for attention. This is the only way they can get it.
@@bobmusil1458There's also no motive or economic benefit from faking it and freely sharing a scientific accomplishment and data with the world.
There was a race to the moon, so obtaining the international prestige of being the nation with the best rocketry and most advanced technology could be seen as a positive.
Personally, I don't see why any government would invest the time and billions of dollars into a space program and lunar mission that could have been produced in a film studio much quicker and at a fraction of the cost.

I had pretty much grown up with the space race, and the idea of going to the moon, so it wasn't a big deal to me at the time. Now 55 years later I can appreciate gravity of the situation, and the danger that they faced. To the people around me, my parents, siblings, and older friends & family members I can now see why it was a HUGE deal to them.
I actually remember watching this... I was 6 (that August)! Still amazing today!
America was indeed great.
He says it's a great simulation and animation and that might help explain some of the we did not land on the moon conspiracies. The networks must have had help from Disney, etc to make some of the simulations so the audience would know what was going on.
Of course there were sims made for TV to show what was going on and this is one of them, because the only thing that was live during the landing is audio and data telemetry, motion picture footage they recorded had to be developed later when they returned to Earth and live TV camera was deployed after they started EVA. A lot of people think these simulations as shown here were supposed to be the real thing and call the landing fake because of that, no wonder when this wasn't the actual real recording lol
The family watched this same broadcast. Small town British Columbia. Mum and dad liked Cronkite.
I was born in 1972, but I think this is among the greatest technological achievements in human history.
I was born in 72. And although I didn't understand the monumental feat that this caused at the time, I can relate to it.
When I watched Elon Musk launch those rockets, and they both landed side by side, I was at work, and jlwas clapping and cheering, and starting tearing up.
What had been science fiction for so long was actually taking place live, and as other have said before, I'd never thought I'd live to see the day.
I'm jealous of my son, who's 17, at the wonders and breakthroughs that his generation is going to be a witness to.
He's gonna have a t 2:28 ough life if things don't start changing. I'm worried about my grandchildren.
@@JusticeAlways Oh pfft, what was this horrible, earth shattering history and background info that'd make you be the equivalent of someone in the back going "but but!"
don't be such a fish, this is the biggest hoax of mankind... no one went to the moon....
@@katchim366 On the contrary, there were nine manned missions to the moon and six landings. It would have been at least ten had it not been for the near catastrophe and aborted landing of Apollo 13 and the premature cancellation of the programme and with it, Apollo 18, 19 and 20.
@@yassassin6425 Although apollo 20 was cancelled for not only budgetary reasons, but to clear a saturn v from the flight rotation to launch skylab, which I think is fair.
the most underrated achievement of the entire history of humankind
..Who says that?...And why do YOU think that ?
You were duped.
"Man On the Moon" was issued as a 33-1/3 7 inch single with the complete audio and Walter Cronkite at that time.
11 years old an I'm still seeing the blank an white TV on our back porch..could not get enought
Hmm. Perhaps it wasn't fake after all. Don't get me wrong, i do not think that it was completely impossible at that time, but i would've expected at least a 70-80% failure rate as the first ever long term voyage. Especially with new (primitive) hardware that may could've busted along the way and taking the pilots with it during the accident.
It wasn't the Apollo programs first long-term voyage they took several missions to the Moon and orbited it before 11 landed on it plus Gemini and Mercury programs before the Apollo program. But yeah it was an amazing feat for the time with the technology they had available to them. Only in america 🇺🇸
@@albertlincoln1729 have you seen the equipment or technology they used at that time? It's literally paperstamps for signals like oh my god... How did that even go well? I suppose it was refined with the technology they had at that time but still, yes, agreed. It's bit impressive and a fck ton of luck. An immense amount of luck. Landing there is one thing, but coming back is a whole another beast. That's just ... Very grazing the impossible to certain extent in terms of nothing major malfunction. If i remember correctly, something did terribly malfunction but i don't remember what it was.
It could've been just a movie or a movie that's based on real events.
It was completely impossible to fake the moon landing.
@@VinnyUnion The 1960’s was a time of great technological development as British Prime Minister Harold Wilson pointed out in his ‘white heat’ of this ‘scientific revolution’ speech in 1963. From an aeronautical perspective there was supersonic and hypersonic aircraft, spacecraft, satellites and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
@@gunternetzer9621 have you ever had the fear of the heart stopping? I do _almost_ any day at this point. Not pleasant at all. Have to swoop over the chest and check at times. It's nerve-wrecking at times.
How was it managed to place a camera there prior to the landing? A camera that carefully rotates horizontally to catch all angles perfectly… or even how the managed to land a pepsi can of a module so softly right in front of the camera…ivermectin seen footage pf test flights from the module and that thing has no aerodynamics whatsoever and was going wild,the pilot ejected every single test he did.. i mean.. guys.. come on… and also how come the landing and additional footage never happened in newer times…pls
None of that happened. There was no camera on the moon before the landing. There was a film camera inside the LM pointing out the window that recorded the landing.
The video camera that broadcast the first step was not deployed until 6 hours after the landing.
The Lunar Landing Training Vehicle was flown and landed successfully hundreds of times.
@@dansv1
You can tell he's a serial conspiracy believer because his phone inserted/auto-corrected "ivermectin" where he meant to say "I've".
You do know this particular video is a simulation right?
That's an animation, it shows it. The pilot ejected once, because of a faulty training flight article, (NOT TEST FLIGHT), btw he was Neil Armstrong. There was footage of apollo 17 taking off, which had the camera they brought with them left behind on the moon and manually controlled with about a second delay.
I remember watching this in a hotel in Miami after watching the launch four days earlier. Still gives me chills!
I am so lucky to have witnessed the greatest achievement in the history of humankind on TV. We always watched CBS and Walter Cronkite. I remember seeing his reaction when they announced they had touched down on the moon...and of course, what came later...when Armstrong set foot on the moon. Something I'll never forget!!!!
No delay in the NASA Houston responce back to Eagle. Should take at least 1.5 seconds. Sounds like they are less than 10 miles away.
Still faking it to make it.
@@JusticeAlways try it.
There is of course no delay when Houston answers.
Why would there be?
However, there is a delay when the astronauts answer.
Just a expected.
Once again a lunar lunatic showed his ignorance. 🤦♂️
@NeilPeelParanormalPeepShow - you nailed it with this statement:
"No delay in the NASA Houston response back to Eagle." That is correct; none would be expected. That's because the recording was made in Houston, at Mission Control.
Where a delay _is_ heard is in the astronauts' responses.
@@thewildcellist so all other satellite broadcasts where an interview is taking place to the other part of the world, there is a delay. I have interviewed people in Afghanistan, some 8 thousand miles away, i am making the recording, and there was still a delay between us.
“CBS simulation”😂
Because they didn’t have live video until 6 hours after they landed.
@@dansv1 oh so they “landed” according to you
@@flaneurfilms1940
Yes they landed. This was the live television coverage of the landing. The audio is the live radio broadcast from the moon. The simulation of the landing was made by the CBS News department to show what was happening.
@@flaneurfilms1940no, according to the entirety of the worldwide scientific community, over a period of decades.
Apollo hoax proponents are never scientists, or engineers.
Maybe that's just a coincidence though.
@@flaneurfilms1940 What else did they do?
My family was stationed at Ft. Wainwright in Fairbanks, Alaska at the time of the moon landing...I was 7 years old and I remember my mother waking me and my three siblings up in the early morning hours to witness the first steps of man on the moon. I didn't really appreciate it at the time, but later became grateful that she decided the moment was too important to miss. This, and the watching the safe return of Apollo 13 a little less than one year later, were the two pivotal moments of my childhood.
I remember watching the descent to the moon the afternoon and then later that night watching mesmerized as Armstrong and Aldrin stepped onto the moon. Those days will never come back.
I get chills watching this. Brings back so many memories. I was 7 years old and I remember my father making sure I watched it. I would not have missed it for the world anyway. Every true American was so proud that day.
I was eight years old when this happened, I remember as if it were yesterday.
I watched this as a 13 year old on my grandfather's black and white TV. A moment I will never forget.
I was 9 months old at the time ... I wish I could remember watching this live.
When they fade in/out to switch between the simulated images of the LEM, it reminds me of those awkward family photo portraits with different angles of everyone's face in different places on the print.
When this historic event happened, I was too much a young summer vacation partier to fully comprehend the importance. Rather than watching this epic moment on TV with the rest of the world, I was drinking, smoking, and chasing girls. The next year, when I went into 4th grade I finally realized just what I had missed.
Truly astonishing achievement that's not been beaten ...yet!
I remember it like it was yesterday. My father worked the night shift and took a small portable TV with him to work so he and his work buddies could also watch.
Like all great (or tragic) historic events, anybody who was tuned in to these moments remembers exactly where they were. Cronkite was such a space nut, too… like a little kid.
I had the sanity of Walter Cronkite and the CBS News to listen to for the Gemini and Apollo programs - while we got through the rest of the '60s and their deep troubles. I watched the landing as a young teen with the rest of my family. My Dad was tech oriented and loved it. My Mom knew little about tech but loved that it was such an important endeavor and difficult challenge. We and my brothers watched it, and I'd never known such an excited tension. I had the over-confidence of youth that they'd make it, but still knew there was danger.
Now I'm watching the Artemis Program move forward. Too slowly, but it is moving, and with the capabilities of the SpaceX Starship HLS we'll hopefully finally build that Moon Base.
July 20, 1969 was my father's 20th birthday. He saw the landing and went to bed knowing the world would never be the same again.
I still remember turning the corner on our street, while walking to my friends house, they didn't have tv. Looking up into the sky and thinking their are guys up there, standing on the moon! For a 13 year old, that was a big deal!
I saw this in 1969 without the hoky animation and without the commercial. I think it was better. And what was the gizmo that looked like a combination of a Star Trek radio with a propeller?
I remember watching this
I was just three years old at the time watching this on tv.
I just learned about Cronkite about a passage on a test and I heard about his narration on the moon landing.R.I.P Cronkite
You know things are getting real when Cronkite takes off his glasses.
