At 11 years old I watched the first Moon landing in the presence of my Grandmother. She was born in 1899 and remembers when the horse and buggy was the most common form of transportation.
@@yafuker6046 When you think about it, that's pretty amazing. To be 17 in 1903, having teenage dreams about life. Who could honestly imagine all those things? The first airplanes, electricity, electric lighting, electric trains, and also Titanic, WW1, radio stations, the Roaring Twenties, depression, WW2, television, commercial flight, colour television, space flight, satellite television,.....moonlandings(!), open heart surgery, personal computers. Not to mention theme parks, SUV's, frozen pizza's, and three coloured toothpaste.
That tiny detail about how the lunar rover folded out explained so much! You have no idea how many hours I've spent looking at diagrams of that thing for two seconds of animation to make it look totally obvious.
Beautiful! And, thank you Jared! My dad helped design the LEM while working at Grumman in Farmingdale NY. He was always so proud of his work there and we were so proud of him too. Miss you daddy!
Please pay attention....! The MIT quote is dated 1966. I very clearly pointed out that the name " LEM " was dropped NASA in 1967, although some sources say that the notice to change the name went out in June 1966...
You should be proud. It might have been the most challenging of all the many design challenges Apollo had to overcome. A manned spacecraft that would takeoff and land only in the vacuum of space, a pure SPACE craft, had never been built and has never been built since. It required a completely unique approach. And the minuscule weight budget they were given made it all the more difficult. But they pulled it off and it landed 6 times and saved the Apollo 13 crew. It was Grumman’s finest engineering achievement.
Grumman was in Bethpage, I know my dad worked there his whole life, I worked there for awhile also. As did my brother. They had a plant out east in Calverton. They needed that plant because the people in Levittown started complaining about the noise when Grumman started making jet fighters like the F9F.
A pleasant surprise! A straightforward, no-nonsense presentation, not dumbed down, nor unnecessarily complicated. Good use of computer graphics. No whiteboards, no obtuse narration. Guess I'm going to find something else to complain about today. Well, the weather IS awfully cold…
You know what cold is? The vacuum of space at -380C. You know what hot is? The thermosphere, which at about 100Km up reaches 2000+C. Guess what all satellites and the silly module were/are made of? Aluminum which has a melting point of 800C covered in mylar sheets that melt at 300C.
@@williamthepleaser1 Quit being silly. I don't see any point you're trying to make. You don't seem to understand what temperatures mean in space, anyway. You think those involved in those missions haven't thought of all that stuff? Quit wasting our time. BTW there is NO SUCH THING as minus 380 C.
I'm afraid, my friend, it's not the video but YOU who have been "Dumbed Down" if you believe Man flew to the Moon in a cardboard box held together with gaffer tape
I've watched a bunch of your videos but had somehow missed this one! A few other tidbits worth noting: - The descent stage rocket was the world's first throttle-able rocket - it could be turned up or down in power, whereas most rockets are all or nothing (hence the importance of timing the burns exactly). This was necessary for making the landing work. - The ascent stage rocket by contrast was designed to be as simple as possible, so there was almost no chance of it failing and stranding the astronauts on the moon. Two chemicals that when mixed (via a simple valve) ignite of their own volition, no separate ignition system needed. - There are no seats in the decent stage - to save weight. The astronauts piloted it down standing up.
"the world's first throttle-able rocket" Weeeelllll, kinda. The first one of any size anyway. The flying rocket-belt ("jet pack" misnamed) comes to mind. It was a rocket with a throttle, and came years before the lunar lander. There may have been more little ones earlier than that (not sure). But, yeah, I'm just being a nitpick.
@@guywithahoodie7859 I watched them live too. I was 10 years old. My father took me outside to look at the moon and said: "son think about it, two men touched the surface an hour ago, you'll remember this day, and this conversation and tell your grandchildren about this moment". In my mind I was thinking my 47 year old father was really old. I'm 61 now, and it seems like yesterday. He's left this world 10 years ago... God rest his soul. Life moves on moments are fleeting...
I saw one of the LM's at the NASM in DC. We passed it the first time and I thought it was a high school mock up. When we returned to that area I was hanging out by it while my wife was off doing something. I was AMAZED to learn it was an actual unused LM. I couldn't believe the guys on the earlier missions actually trusted that to get them to and from the moon. Just amazing and so much respect for the team that made the moon landings possible.
everyone involved was very well aware of just how dangerous the mission was. In preparing for a disaster president Nixon had a speech ready that thankfully was not needed. here's a video someone made using the speech th-cam.com/video/LWLadJFI8Pk/w-d-xo.html
@@ranchdressing1037 hey we not only took on the gargantuan challenge of developing this massive rocket and successfully launched it, should we go on and land on the moon? naaaa /s
A stunning American achievement! The engineering, the computing, the mathematics, the manufacturing, the communications, the electronics - outstanding.
A key, unsung, aspect of Apollo's success was NASA's management. They had incredibly competent administrators, James Webb (the recent telescope namesake) is just one example.
Perfect! I am a docent at The Cradle of Aviation Museum and we have the Apollo 19 LEM. This video is an easy to understand presentation of our magnificent bird. Thanks Jared!
I’m heading your way! I’m in Connecticut and see you’re close on the map. 7:05 I’ve seen Jared’s videos multiple times; they’re so good it’s worth multiple re-watches.
One of the most - maybe the most - ingenious vehicles ever designed. Almost hard to believe that decades have passed since it carried people to the moon.
I watched another documentary on the LEM. In a nutshell shell, it looks the way it does because they had to keep reworking it bit by bit to get the weight down, leaving just enough to have a functional machine. It didn’t need to look pretty or like something from Buck Rogers, it had to work. So many intelligent hard working people put their soul into the Apollo program, what a great achievement.
It really does look crude close up because the covers over the various tanks are all wrinkly because they are paper thin, basically there to keep dust put and nothing more (not part of the pressure vessel) and weight was their constant enemy.
they lied and took an oath of secrecy . taking minds off the vietnam atrocities of stealing gold and oil van allen radiation belts keep space travel impossible .you tube 4409 did we go to the moon in a soup can .ΑΩ
I watched the landing in my elementary school class. We just watched TV the whole time as history was being made. Great video! This is TH-cam at its best!
@Terry Winter Do flat earthers like you really exist? We are not riding on the back of a giant turtle. You can buy a $50 telescope and see the equipment we left on the moon. Wait, maybe they painted that equipment on the end of the telescope.
@Terry Winter Sure, if the letters are a 2-3 feet tall and the plate is affixed to the roof! "but so far nothing, so why is that ?" literally 10 seconds later with Google: "Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera wiki entry LROC has flown several times over the historic Apollo lunar landing sites at 50 km (31 mi) altitude; with the camera's high resolution, the Lunar Roving Vehicles and Lunar Module descent stages and their respective shadows are clearly visible, along with other equipment previously left on the Moon. It is expected that this photography will boost public acknowledgement of the validity of the landings, and further discredit Apollo conspiracy theories." Typical lazy conspiratards expect everyone else to do the work for them.
@Terry Winter Well you obviously didn't understand your own link! It was pretty clear in my reply that at least I know what the Nyquist limit is (evidently it went over your head, literally :)
Yes, excellent work. There’s also this video by Kevin Hughes that focuses on the docking probe. He has another that does an excellent job of detailing the issues with it during the docking attempts with Apollo 14. m.th-cam.com/video/4drYZcMY9jU/w-d-xo.html
Teaching you how easy it is to fool the world with CGI and green screens. Never heard of the freedom of information act what it says about our planet? You're too easily led, is the trouble.
The Volkswagen was invented by the same country who developed the A4/V2 rocket motor (head designer = Korolev). It's telling that the F-1 main engines in the SaturnV were of considerably inferior design to the V2 rocket motor. The Germans used a double walled chamber like all rockets do today while Rocketdyne were still brazing thousands of tiny tubes together. Nothing about the SaturnV was particular advanced which is why NASA scrapped it as soon as the Apollo series of novels were finished.
Graham NASA wouldn’t want to use a German engine. In the Cold War the United States would probably want to build their own engine to show the Soviets their capabilities.
@@owensharp4891 Yet NASA were quite happy putting Von Braun - a well known and not particularly nice nazi in charge. Also the F-1 showed no capabilities, it was a dreadful design last proposed in 1962 and never used again. Ever.
Von Braun was the best rocket scientist NASA had at the time. I’m not saying he was a good person, just saying he was the best at designing rockets at the time.
Jared I was a long haul truck driver for 45 years one afternoon at a diner at a truck stop i got into a conversation with an older trucker .It was an amazing story .He was the man with his truck that picked up the first lunar module and moved it to the assembly location for launching .
Thanks! You showed the design well. As a kid in 1969 my friend “Hank” and I had plastic models of the Saturn rocket. As the Moon Mission progressed start to finish, from launch to recovery, we duplicated every step with our models... Rocket stages separated, CM pulled LM out, separated, LM landed, returned safely to Earth,...every action simulated as we watched our TV sets. I recently visited Huntsville AL., and saw the Enormous Saturn V rocket standing erect at the NASA museum at the Redstone Arsenal... OMG! I was so stunned. And proud.
@@owensharp4891 True, so their immediate scrapping of the F-1 shows us again that it didn't take them to the moon. In the 1980s NASA finished the Shuttle SRB, a far far better engine, just three SRBs give 9m lbf, 20% more than claimed for the F-1 based Saturn V first stage.
@@owensharp4891 V-1? You mean the F-1, a 1962 design that NASA ditched as soon as possible. If it was good why did they ditch it? Look at the tubular design, it was always rubbish - they ditched it because it didn't work very well. The point about the SRBs is that in the 1980s NASA again had all the equipment they needed to visit the moon with ease. I.e. they lost nothing but their excuses for never 'returning'.
Very interesting this video but I'd like to add a comment , the LEM might have been built in the U.S.A. but a lot of people don't know that the legs of the lunar module ( LEM ) was created and done by the company HEROUX-DEVTEK in Longueuil (Quebec) Canada and we are proud of that .
Liar. Mr NASA fúckstick talking shit again using Another of his multitude of aliases he uses to write his many troll posts on every fe video he can find and every other video exposing the lies and telling us the truth
My father worked on the first LM. His engineering handiwork, as part of the design team, is still sitting on the moon. We watched the entire thing, from launch to splashdown. It was awesome!

1:58 The Lunar Module actually played a very very very important role in Apollo 13. After the o2 tank explosion which crippled the command module Odyssey, the astronauts, with no other choice, shut it down and powered up the Lunar Module, Aquarius. They used the LEM oxygen supply to survive, and used its descent engine to get on a free-return trajectory. If this had happened on a mission such as Apollo 8, with no LEM, the crew would have for sure died.
Everything about the Apollo missions and how they were achieved is fascinating. I can only imagine what it would have been like, I mean imagine flying to the moon and landing on it and the feeling when you first touch down and then crawl out to walk on it. Mind blowing
@@charleswest6372 ok buddy. There literally hundreds of thousands of people who worked on it and explanations that make sense for how every bit of it worked. If you don’t want to believe that’s up to you but you got the idea it’s fake from something silly but you ignore every bit of proof there is because it’s what you choose to do. Whatever.
The planning of the Apollo missions was so well thought about. And in those days where everything had to be done by hand with very little computing power and no fancy design tools. Those engineers were the greatest.

The fuels for the LM was a hyperbolic type, which when combined cause a superheated steam jet. The 'fuel' was aerozine a highly corrosive liquid. The oxidizer was nitrous oxide N2O4. When combined there was an explosive reaction. My dad was an electrical engineer at Grumman. He was involved with the LM project, when I was 10 years old he brought me into plant 5 to see the high bay white room with almost all of the LM 's in a row. LM 1 was already tested at this time on the apollo 5 unmanned mission to test the vehicle in space.
Correct, apollo5 (LM2), had no legs or life support systems, was used only to test decent, ascent, and reaction rockets. Also the test of inertial guidance. LM3 was tested in earth orbit by 2 astronauts. Tested all systems and maneuvering and docking with the Apollo9 capsule. It was not light enough to take the astronauts off the moon. LM4 was light enough to bring the astronauts off the moon but was used in lunar orbit to test the navigation equipment as well as inertial guidance in low gravity.
It's amazing how engineers were able to design something as complex as this in the 60's with what they had. There were no CAD design tools back then, just pencil and paper.
@aussieboy77 Actually it's not that complicated. It's a fairly simple composition of components. By that time one drew way more complex structures long since. Apart ftom that, it's just a mockup, i.e. it pretends to have technical functions but it was only used in studio to film the staged moon landing.
@@Thre1152 "it's just a mockup, i.e. it pretends to have technical functions but it was only used in studio to film the staged moon landing." And...what...the Moon rocks are staged too? The ~380 kilograms of rocks studied by thousands of scientists from around the world for the last 50 years?
The ascent stages of the Apollo 9 LEM (Spider) and the whole Apollo 13 LEM (Aquarius) burned up in earth's atmosphere. The ascent stage of the Apollo 10 LEM (Snoopy) was jettisoned into a heliocentric orbit. In June 2019, an astronomer announced that they had located it. All of the other LEM ascent stages launched were deliberately crashed into the moon. The sound waves of their impacts were recorded by instruments left on the moon. This was done to get a better understanding of the geology of the moon.
Wow... Pranav Desai And when you were a little boy Regarding astronauts, did your mom make you a pretend space suite, and a cardboard luner lander, did you pretend to be on the moon too?

My dad and uncle, Eric and Harry Petersen worked at the Space Sciences Laboratory in Berkeley as machinists. The made a bunch of those reflectors. All so Mariner Mars and Viking stuff.
It was also an add on that wasn't originally supposed to go on the mission. That's why they had to mount it outside on the ladder as the LM had already been closed up and loaded into the Saturn V.
Teen Conservative Good for you, don't let anyone stop you, my uncle worked for Boeing at the Cape and when I was a kid in the 70's he was like a rock star to me.
@@lancer525 I've been an engineer for over 30 years, and had to study a lot of science to do so. I've been conservative even longer than that. Your assumptions are incorrect.
Not one mention at all about the Oxygen the guys have to breath, but we all know they were never there so it was unnecessary to equip. they just sent equipment up with no men inside.
Excellent visuals! Well done! My dad - a Radiation Heat-Transfer expert - was an engineer on the LM project, in particular doing thermo-vacuum testing on it, to make sure propellants (or cabin air!) didn’’t freeze up.
A big salute to your dad and the entire team of Apollo project for such a great work. Such a great engineering at that time in 60s. Thanks for the awesome 3D presentation Jared, was looking for the lunar module and found it here with simple explanation.
Dude, that was amazing. I'm an Apollo era kid & had models of the lunar lander. I loved the way it looked. The lander always filled me with a sense of awe and I always wondered what was inside it! Thanks a lot. Great video.
I had the same experience as kid and built a model LEM. Then around 1979 there was a video game with a black and white screen. The name of the game was Lunar Lander and the object of the the game was to land a LEM On the moon with a set amount of fuel. I would enjoy playing it today.
@@marcgoff7881 I remember that game. I'd play it at the arcade. It was fun because you had to think strategically while looking for a place to put down you also had to pay attention to fuel consumption and speed or the little lander would break up. I enjoyed that game and asteroids. That's where all my quarters went. Lol
@@johnnie2638as I recall you had to use thrust all the way to landing unlike the real LEM that could hover 10 feet above the lunar surface and had it ran out of fuel it still would landed safely and softly. Matter of fact Neil Armstrong would have preferred to cut the engine higher than the 5 feet as planned. They were not sure how far they would sink into the lunar soil and were concerned that if the landing legs pads sank to far in the lunar surface while the engine was running the engine might have contacted the surface and exploded. Everything however worked as designed and the 5 foot long Lunar Surface Sensing Probes alerted the crew with Armstrong announcing “Contact light, Engine stop”. One of the things the Hoax nuts like to point out is there is little blast disturbance in the lunar soil under the engine bell. I had an opportunity to meet Buzz Aldrin and asked asked about it and he said that they were hovering at around 10’ feet and reduced power to basically idle and just settled down on the surface .
@Michael Lyne You're right - he didn't fly the LM on earth...because it wasn't designed to operate in earth's dense atmosphere. You're referring to the LLRV (lunar landing research vehicle) that he practiced for the lunar landing in and had to abort from during an incident where the attitude thrusters ran out of fuel.
Thanks so much for making this video. My father invented one of the parts that was in the LEM. This video makes it so much easier to explain the LEM to folks born after 1969. Thanks for your great work.
Have you seen the actual images of the supposed 'lunar' lander? It looks like it was made in a highschool art project. The fact is the apollo missions never went to the moon, the evidence proving this is beyond doubt and the official story and pseudo science of it is laughable.
Every good answer spurs another question. The Ascent Stage had a docking window to help alignment for docking with the Command Module. From The Earth to The Moon episode called Spider tells the story of the process quite nicely. They decided to lose the seats, large bubble windows, and second docking hatch to save weight. Initially, they believed that the LM would need to have a Docking Window for the Commander to dock with the CSM, but it was easier for the Command Module Pilot to dock with the LM Ascent stage in the same manner it had already been done when extracting the LM from the upper stage.
The thermal blanket material is called "Kapton," not "mylar." Kapton is MADE of mylar and flash vaporized gold. You've done a nice job here Jared, thanks.
nop, kapton has nothing to do with gold. Actually, this protection multi-layer cover was made from aluminized mylar (which looks like clear metallic foil), sometimes aluminized kapton (this one looks like gold foil), sometimes nickel and nickel-chrome alloy woven sheets for most tough parts.
Right and wrong. Mylar is boPET and kapton is polyimide, two different polymers so none of them is made from the other. And it's aluminum instead of gold. The blankets on Apollo was probably aluminized mylar but aluminized kapton has been used on other space hardware. I say probably mylar because googling it gives references for both mylar and kapton on the LM descent stage. Since the lead designer of the LM, Tom Kelly at Grumman wrote in his book "Moon lander, how we developed the Apollo lunar module" that it was mylar, I it really was mylar. (See page 174, the section "Where the action is".) Oh shit, even in this document written by Grumman and published by NASA, they seem to confuse mylar and kapton: www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/LM04_Lunar_Module_ppLV1-17.pdf It says "polyimid (mylar)" but polyimide is not mylar but kapton. Then I don't know whom to believe anymore. They talk about some "H-film" as a more heat tolerant alternative to mylar that was also used. I wonder if H-film was kapton. Then I think they used both mylar and kapton and only used the kapton for the hottest places.
@@invisiblekincajou 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yes, sometimes titanium vapor oxidine woven with cadmium powder cloroquine alloy mixed with cotton dioxide hemp which looks like the one in Stanley Kubrick's movie.
This is great because I was always fascinated by the LM. I wonder if the engineers knew they were giving this thing a face, or if this just happened by itself. Because it definitely has a face.
Excellent presentation with detailed graphics showing every compartment and its contents. The only thing I've ever known was the intentional goal to produce the Lem with as few moving parts as possible. What incredible engineering.
You forgot that the ascent module for Apollo 10 -- Snoopy -- was sent into heliocentric I(around he sun) orbit after being jettisoned from the CSM. Snoopy is, in fact, the only surviving LM ascent stage that actully flew. The ascent stages from Apollos 9 and 13 reentered Earth's atmosphere and burned up. The ones from 11, 12, 14-17 all crashed back into the moon after they were let loose.
@@jeffvader811 No, they intentionally crashed them onto the surface for seismic tests, although orbital decay might have been part of the plan they wanted them to impact the surface for the tests, kind of a "calibration" for the equipment left behind I guess you could call it.
@Limey Lemon The fact that someone "believes" something doesn't make it true. You are fucking stupid. A belief is only a guess, not a fact. Where is your spinning Ballshit model evidence.. You don't have any, you don't have any. Hardy Hardy har har.. We get to laugh at you and mock you.. Bwaahhaahhhaahhaa..
@Limey Lemon It isn't what we want dipstick, it is reality. Something you are shit scared of so you live in a fantasy world where you think that you live on a spinning ball in the middle of space. Hahahaa. And you also believe in that big bang bullshit. The day when for no reason, nothing decided to explode in the middle of nothing and put of nothing everything just magically appeared.. Bwaahhaahhhaahhaa.
@Limey Lemon when more people believe in THE FLAT EARTH, than the spinning Ballshit model, will it then be correct,simply because more people believe in it?
My hometown, Alameda California is where the USS Hornet is permanently berthed as a museum. It is well maintained and served by very knowledgeable docents and is well worth a visit!
They decided to use pressurized helium to force the two separate propellants together instead of developing pumps. Simpler system and removed 4 pieces of equipment that had the potential to fail when most needed. A very small level of risk no doubt but minimizing risk as much as possible was an important part of the LM’s development.
The LM was an amazing vehicle. Humanity's first true dedicated spacecraft, she never suffered a major failure nor caused a fatality. The Apollo 13 LM, Aquarius, served as the lifeboat to save the astronauts after the command module oxygen tank explosion. As someone from NASA described it, on Apollo 13, the LM's performance "greatly exceeded" its design specifications. The Grumman employees who designed and built them should rightfully be very proud.
@@davidsheckler4450 "You can't prove space" Directly, perhaps not. But I know how big the Earth is, I know the distance to the Moon, and I know the Earth's atmosphere has a pressure gradient. Put those together, and indirectly I know space is a Thing.
When you see the lunar lander in person it is very large. It is much bigger than the impression you get watching it on a screen. As a matter of fact everything about Apollo is on a very large scale when you see it for yourself at NASA. The first stage engines are incredibly large and are the most powerful engine ever built! They never failed either and it just blows my mind how much fuel the fuel pumps could pump a second. The engines were throttleable and moved to change the angle of thrust to keep the rocket flying straight.
@@aemrt5745 Wow!you get to work on all my favorite things!! I was machinist for 23 years specializing in wire EDM, so I used to use an early version of cad/cam to create geometry for whatever shape I had to cut. But anyway, talking about how big Saturn Rocket is when you see it in person, I forgot to say how big the Lunar rover is in person also, and it folds up into a small shape that fits in the Lunar Landers only available space on the decent stage. They land, go outside to the back of the L.E.M. open a outer door, pull on a rope that's inside, and the Lunar rover pops out and unfolds itself into a pretty good sized car or dune buggy with 4 wheel steering and 4 wheel drive and it was a great machine to get around on. I think the last mission they drove around over 75 miles during a 3 day mission, in 1972!!!, we had the coolest space ships, moon buggys and a reliable system to get large payloads to the moon to build a moon base, which was a original mission goal. They already paid for the research and production of this incredible machine so the rocket got alot cheaper because now they just had to build them, design and testing is over and we have 3 fully completed Saturn Rockets ready to go! All we had to do was figure out what we wanted to put on them and go to the moon. That's why it doesn't surprise me our smart government used the excuse that it was getting to expensive to keep launching and building Saturn Rockets when it was to the point where everything had been perfected, all they had to do is build them, and we could do that pretty fast now, we already built around 20 or more and 3 completed, ready to go!! But this amazing thing we actually pulled off, very successfully doing this in the 60s, dune buggys on the moon and all !!! Ya know, let's cancel it and not take advantage of this incredible,reliable machine we managed to build and build an even more expensive space shuttle, and we can reuse the shuttle but after a space flight it has to be overhauled, which was way more expensive than the Apollo Saturn mission single use ships, can't leave orbit or go anywhere like the moon, but it looks and lands like an airplane. And managed to kill a decent amount of astronauts. It just eats me up inside!! That's why Vonbraun quit being the head of NASA. They lied to him, they said get us to moon and we will build bases so we could build a space ship as big as we want and travel our solar system. He saw what was happening moving to the space shuttle that can't go anywhere. He quit NASA and was dead 2 to 3 years after the last visit to the moon.
Excellent. Thanks for the lesson. The guys that achieved this are some of my heroes. In fact, it may be too small to see, but my profile picture is me shaking hands with Gene Kranz - the man!
@@aemrt5745 - He definitely is. It's so apparent when you meet the guy. One of the questions I had for him was regarding the speech he gave his flight team just before Apollo 11 began it's descent to the moon. (If you're not familiar look it up). I asked if he planned that amazing speech ahead of time or if he just winged it ... "just winged it" he said. I asked one of his flight controllers (Jerry Bostick) who was there that day about it, and he said it was the perfect words and was exactly what they needed. One of the most historic moments in NASA history and he just winged it. And nailed it. That's a badass dude!
You started with ..." 2019 being the 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing.". 50 years! And after Apollo 17, we never went back! Or established a lunar base! No country did! Think how far we have advanced, technologically, in that span of time. Now think how much more advanced we could have been, had we stayed the course, that we started as a species. Excellent video, by the way.
@@thesauciestboss4039 Cept the US is making an actual moonbase and does 90% of space shit compared to britain who had to beg to buy out an American satellite corporation because they cant use EU ones, despite the corporation employing americans only.
Thank you for your excellent animation of the LM! I had just turned 11 when Apollo 11 made its historic mission, and we watched every broadcast that NASA offered to the networks. I later purchased and built the Revelle 1/144 scale Saturn V with all stages and components removable, including the LM. I then built the LM model itself complete with gold mylar descent stage covering! However, the interior was not a finished feature and I had always wondered exactly how the cockpit looked and what was in all the compartments. Again, thank you for fulfilling a decades long wish! You're very talented Jared. Keep up the great work!
Yes, his work is amazing. There’s another guy by the name of Kevin Hughes who did 2 fantastic videos about the probe and drogue system used for docking. Highly recommended.

@@dubsy1026 Not quite true. The Space Shuttle and all the various space stations have been fitted with airlocks. The main reason airlocks are used is when the atmosphere in the spacecraft is an air mix (oxygen and nitrogen). Space suits use oxygen only so it is safer when performing an EVA for the astronaut to spend time in an airlock acclimatising his/her body to pure oxygen before venturing outside. Otherwise, they could get "the bends".The Gemini and Apollo spacecraft used oxygen only atmsopheres when in space, so no acclimatisation was required before an EVA.
Hard to believe 2 guys crammed into a box habitat trying to sleep upright and get on all fours to crawl into and out of it as that. Before I saw this I imagined it all more elaborate and technical that this. Todays generation of ships needs a couch to recline on and plenty of snack foods.
@@dennis9707 They had hammocks they could sling across the inside which helped things a little bit. The main problem was trying to sleep whilst still wearing the EVA moonsuit. The suit had metal rings around the collar and cuffs and quite strong elastic bungees inside the arms which made them very hard and painfull to wear. Eventually, NASA gave the crews permission to take off the suits and try to sleep just wearing their undergarments. Another issue was internal noise. There were buzzes, hisses, creaks and groans all the time as the radio and instruments were left on and the cabin flexed and moved as it reacted to the heat of the sun.
Thanks Jared for helping the younger generation to understand this really happened. I grew up in Huntsville Alabama and was 13 when man first landed on the moon. Keep up your GREAT WORK.
I’ve had a chance to see one of the lunar modules that was never used,the one in the cradle of aviation in garden city Long Island, it was an experience unlike any other
@PAID IN FULL All of the proof that space and the moon landings are real is literally so easy to find that even a 5 year old can make a reasonable conclusion that they are real.
amazing. mind blown away completely. . it feels like even today we do not have the tech available to do this again which is sad. things would be overly complicated and messy.
Another great video Jared. One thing I should mention is the reason why only 3 of the legs had the contact probes. Originally, all 4 had them but at some point, they felt the one were the ladder was also attached might become a tripping hazard depending on the way it ended up after the landing. They figured the best solution was simply to eliminate it altogether. Keep up the great work!

Straight to the point. Imagine if the discovery channel made a special on this. It would be constantly interrupted with commercials and would be littered with pointless dramatic themes
Very minor nit: the "gold foil" on the outside was aluminized Kapton, not Mylar. Mylar was also used, but not on the external surface because Kapton could withstand wider temperature ranges. Kapton is orange-yellow while Mylar is grey. The aluminum was on the rear surface so you are seeing light passing through the Kapton and back, making it appear gold.
My best friends dad was in charge of the wiring for the LEM. Anyone who lives in Bethpage calls it the LEM. The ascent stage mixed a combination of fuel that when combined created the thrust, no pumps, no igniter. Each egine was a throw away engine, meaning it could never be used again after it was fired The ascent and decent stage was connected with wiring that ran through a guillotine. As soon as the rocket fired the explosive guillotine cute the wires to allow it to separate. If that failed or the engine failed, the astronauts would be stranded. My friends father had to stay at the plant until the astronauts were safely aboard the command module. I lived in Bethpage across from the plant where they built the LEM. Did you know they always built two of them that were identical? If something went wrong, the engineers could use the one on the ground to help correct the problem. After the moon landing, Grumman pushed the secondary LEM into the parking lot and spray painted it camo green. I used to see it out there every day. It was so sad to see it out there in the rain, snow etc. Grumman waa bought out by Northrop, they closed the plant, layed off 100s of thousands of employees, sold some of the land to developers, ripped up the runway they had (they landed a Grumman Guppy there to xport the LEM to NASA) the huge hangers are now used as a sound stage for movies. The HQ building is used by a cable company. It brings a tear to my eye every time I see the plant. Leroy Grumman built a wonderful company and Northrop ruined it
Yep people more interested in watching ego inflating fantasy superhero movies and fictional drama movies than real engineering. Cant blame them though it's much easier that having to think and work out real stuff and it can be inspiring. But imagine what really cool new technology we may have if more money was spent on engineering instead of so much making movies and if people were more industrious.

That got to me too. I was about to say maybe it was cgi or something, but it looks too good. And they could very well have taken it with the remote camera on the rover.
That's just a photo of the lunar lander taken on the moon when the astronauts were there, and then later photoshopped with the ascent stage removed to show what it looks like today. Just look at the shadow behind it and you can still see the ascent stage
@@MichaelCasey1988 I believe it's a real image, they did set up the camera on the rover to record the ascent stage, perhaps it was one of those? th-cam.com/video/9HQfauGJaTs/w-d-xo.html I can't find any information on which mission this was, I'll have to do some more digging.
Hi Jared, urban legend had it that the foil wrap on the Descent Stage consisted of pure gold foil. Thanks for clarifying what this material actually was (mylar).
Agreed. GOD=7_4. 7/4=July 4th was encoded by Freemasons who were also in-charge of NASA. The Lunar Module was 23'1"/7.04 m tall and was designed for excursions up to 75 hours. 7 LMs were supposed to land on the Moon - 4 were not J-type. Skylab ended in '74.
GOD=7_4 or FOD=6_4 (on Planet Nestor) is Design Worlds Theory & the 'Theory of Everything' (Seal #2). See 7seals.blogspot.com - only the returned Christ & Albert Einstein reincarnated could produce that. It's triggered The Apocalypse/ Revelation which is NOT the 'end of the world'. COVID-19 is part of Seal #2: S=19 (18.6) Theory.
Jared, thanks for the info. I used to work for a sub contractor that made the trainers for the personnel on the flights. I remember working on the LEM. Standing inside the LEM and looking at all of the gauges, switch panels, and dials. Absolutely breathtaking. Still remember thoise images to this day. Thanks again.
The configuration of the descent and ascent engines is completely different from what I thought, watching the event in real time. Very interesting presentation.
I read something once that it was nearly abandoned from the design because of weight concerns. Then someone said that there's never be another chance to record mankind's first step onto ground that was not Earth.
Oh neat. The sequence at 4:18 showing the Earth - Moon & back laser bounce is to scale both in size and the time it would take to bounce that signal...

Beautiful! And, thank you Jared! My dad helped design the LEM while working at Grumman in Farmingdale NY. He was always so proud of his work there and we were so proud of him too. Miss you daddy!
Please pay attention....! The MIT quote is dated 1966. I very clearly pointed out that the name " LEM " was dropped NASA in 1967, although some sources say that the notice to change the name went out in June 1966...
You should be proud. It might have been the most challenging of all the many design challenges Apollo had to overcome. A manned spacecraft that would takeoff and land only in the vacuum of space, a pure SPACE craft, had never been built and has never been built since. It required a completely unique approach. And the minuscule weight budget they were given made it all the more difficult. But they pulled it off and it landed 6 times and saved the Apollo 13 crew. It was Grumman’s finest engineering achievement.
....nah just takes 5 years and bingo first try!
Grumman was in Bethpage, I know my dad worked there his whole life, I worked there for awhile also. As did my brother. They had a plant out east in Calverton. They needed that plant because the people in Levittown started complaining about the noise when Grumman started making jet fighters like the F9F.
Yea ee were all proud of pop and Leroy Grumman. @sblack48
A pleasant surprise! A straightforward, no-nonsense presentation, not dumbed down, nor unnecessarily complicated. Good use of computer graphics. No whiteboards, no obtuse narration. Guess I'm going to find something else to complain about today. Well, the weather IS awfully cold…
You know what cold is? The vacuum of space at -380C. You know what hot is? The thermosphere, which at about 100Km up reaches 2000+C. Guess what all satellites and the silly module were/are made of? Aluminum which has a melting point of 800C covered in mylar sheets that melt at 300C.

I'm afraid, my friend, it's not the video but YOU who have been "Dumbed Down" if you believe Man flew to the Moon in a cardboard box held together with gaffer tape
I've watched a bunch of your videos but had somehow missed this one! A few other tidbits worth noting:
- The descent stage rocket was the world's first throttle-able rocket - it could be turned up or down in power, whereas most rockets are all or nothing (hence the importance of timing the burns exactly). This was necessary for making the landing work.
- The ascent stage rocket by contrast was designed to be as simple as possible, so there was almost no chance of it failing and stranding the astronauts on the moon. Two chemicals that when mixed (via a simple valve) ignite of their own volition, no separate ignition system needed.
- There are no seats in the decent stage - to save weight. The astronauts piloted it down standing up.
"the world's first throttle-able rocket"
Weeeelllll, kinda. The first one of any size anyway. The flying rocket-belt ("jet pack" misnamed) comes to mind. It was a rocket with a throttle, and came years before the lunar lander. There may have been more little ones earlier than that (not sure). But, yeah, I'm just being a nitpick.
Wow, I learned more about the moon landings in your 8 minute video that I did in the last 50 years. Great stuff. Thank you.

I saw one of the LM's at the NASM in DC. We passed it the first time and I thought it was a high school mock up. When we returned to that area I was hanging out by it while my wife was off doing something. I was AMAZED to learn it was an actual unused LM. I couldn't believe the guys on the earlier missions actually trusted that to get them to and from the moon. Just amazing and so much respect for the team that made the moon landings possible.

A stunning American achievement! The engineering, the computing, the mathematics, the manufacturing, the communications, the electronics - outstanding.

One of the most - maybe the most - ingenious vehicles ever designed. Almost hard to believe that decades have passed since it carried people to the moon.
I watched another documentary on the LEM. In a nutshell shell, it looks the way it does because they had to keep reworking it bit by bit to get the weight down, leaving just enough to have a functional machine. It didn’t need to look pretty or like something from Buck Rogers, it had to work.
So many intelligent hard working people put their soul into the Apollo program, what a great achievement.
@@mplsmark222your description is accurate. The LEM is a shell within a nutshell! Like those Russian dolls that have many layers

"It's ugly, but it gets you there..." - Volkswagen
The Volkswagen was invented by the same country who developed the A4/V2 rocket motor (head designer = Korolev). It's telling that the F-1 main engines in the SaturnV were of considerably inferior design to the V2 rocket motor.
The Germans used a double walled chamber like all rockets do today while Rocketdyne were still brazing thousands of tiny tubes together. Nothing about the SaturnV was particular advanced which is why NASA scrapped it as soon as the Apollo series of novels were finished.
Dude. Made me snort milk outta my nose. Thanks for that XD
Graham NASA wouldn’t want to use a German engine. In the Cold War the United States would probably want to build their own engine to show the Soviets their capabilities.
@@owensharp4891 Yet NASA were quite happy putting Von Braun - a well known and not particularly nice nazi in charge.
Also the F-1 showed no capabilities, it was a dreadful design last proposed in 1962 and never used again. Ever.
Von Braun was the best rocket scientist NASA had at the time. I’m not saying he was a good person, just saying he was the best at designing rockets at the time.
Jared I was a long haul truck driver for 45 years one afternoon at a diner at a truck stop i got into a conversation with an older trucker .It was an amazing story .He was the man with his truck that picked up the first lunar module and moved it to the assembly location for launching .
Thanks! You showed the design well. As a kid in 1969 my friend “Hank” and I had plastic models of the Saturn rocket. As the Moon Mission progressed start to finish, from launch to recovery, we duplicated every step with our models... Rocket stages separated, CM pulled LM out, separated, LM landed, returned safely to Earth,...every action simulated as we watched our TV sets. I recently visited Huntsville AL., and saw the Enormous Saturn V rocket standing erect at the NASA museum at the Redstone Arsenal... OMG! I was so stunned. And proud.
The SaturnV never worked properly: There's a good reason why the design of the F-1 rocket motor was never used again.
I’m pretty sure if something can take you to the moon, it’s good
@@owensharp4891 True, so their immediate scrapping of the F-1 shows us again that it didn't take them to the moon.
In the 1980s NASA finished the Shuttle SRB, a far far better engine, just three SRBs give 9m lbf, 20% more than claimed for the F-1 based Saturn V first stage.
Graham I understand that, but that is 20 years later! In the 60’s they had the V-1 and in the 80’s they engineered the solid rocket boosters.
@@owensharp4891 V-1? You mean the F-1, a 1962 design that NASA ditched as soon as possible. If it was good why did they ditch it? Look at the tubular design, it was always rubbish - they ditched it because it didn't work very well.
The point about the SRBs is that in the 1980s NASA again had all the equipment they needed to visit the moon with ease. I.e. they lost nothing but their excuses for never 'returning'.
Very interesting this video but I'd like to add a comment , the LEM might have been built in the U.S.A. but a lot of people don't know that the legs of the lunar module ( LEM ) was created and done by the company HEROUX-DEVTEK in Longueuil (Quebec) Canada and we are proud of that .

1:58 The Lunar Module actually played a very very very important role in Apollo 13. After the o2 tank explosion which crippled the command module Odyssey, the astronauts, with no other choice, shut it down and powered up the Lunar Module, Aquarius. They used the LEM oxygen supply to survive, and used its descent engine to get on a free-return trajectory. If this had happened on a mission such as Apollo 8, with no LEM, the crew would have for sure died.

The fuels for the LM was a hyperbolic type, which when combined cause a superheated steam jet. The 'fuel' was aerozine a highly corrosive liquid. The oxidizer was nitrous oxide N2O4. When combined there was an explosive reaction. My dad was an electrical engineer at Grumman. He was involved with the LM project, when I was 10 years old he brought me into plant 5 to see the high bay white room with almost all of the LM 's in a row. LM 1 was already tested at this time on the apollo 5 unmanned mission to test the vehicle in space.
Wow. Must have been quite a sight!
The LM flew in space three times on Apollo 5, 9 and 10 before its first landing on the Moon.
Correct, apollo5 (LM2), had no legs or life support systems, was used only to test decent, ascent, and reaction rockets. Also the test of inertial guidance. LM3 was tested in earth orbit by 2 astronauts. Tested all systems and maneuvering and docking with the Apollo9 capsule. It was not light enough to take the astronauts off the moon. LM4 was light enough to bring the astronauts off the moon but was used in lunar orbit to test the navigation equipment as well as inertial guidance in low gravity.
my Dad work on it too. I ended up working there when we built the wings for the shuttle.

It's amazing how engineers were able to design something as complex as this in the 60's with what they had. There were no CAD design tools back then, just pencil and paper.

@@Thre1152 "it's just a mockup, i.e. it pretends to have technical functions but it was only used in studio to film the staged moon landing."
And...what...the Moon rocks are staged too? The ~380 kilograms of rocks studied by thousands of scientists from around the world for the last 50 years?
The ascent stages of the Apollo 9 LEM (Spider) and the whole Apollo 13 LEM (Aquarius) burned up in earth's atmosphere. The ascent stage of the Apollo 10 LEM (Snoopy) was jettisoned into a heliocentric orbit. In June 2019, an astronomer announced that they had located it. All of the other LEM ascent stages launched were deliberately crashed into the moon. The sound waves of their impacts were recorded by instruments left on the moon. This was done to get a better understanding of the geology of the moon.
Since the moon has no atmosphere, how can sound be carried? Guess I need to do sone homework.
@@johntechwriter The sound traveled through the moon. Rock does transmit sound.

Thanks for the awesome 3D presentation Jared, was looking for the lunar module and found it here with simple explanation.
Shrinivas Naik, “thanks,” on my dad’s behalf, and indeed thanks again, Mr. Owen, for the excellent video illustration!
Dude, that was amazing. I'm an Apollo era kid & had models of the lunar lander. I loved the way it looked. The lander always filled me with a sense of awe and I always wondered what was inside it! Thanks a lot. Great video.
I had the same experience as kid and built a model LEM. Then around 1979 there was a video game with a black and white screen. The name of the game was Lunar Lander and the object of the the game was to land a LEM
On the moon with a set amount of fuel. I would enjoy playing it today.
@@marcgoff7881 I remember that game. I'd play it at the arcade. It was fun because you had to think strategically while looking for a place to put down you also had to pay attention to fuel consumption and speed or the little lander would break up. I enjoyed that game and asteroids. That's where all my quarters went. Lol
@@johnnie2638as I recall you had to use thrust all the way to landing unlike the real LEM that could hover 10 feet above the lunar surface and had it ran out of fuel it still would landed safely and softly. Matter of fact Neil Armstrong would have preferred to cut the engine higher than the 5 feet as planned. They were not sure how far they would sink into the lunar soil and were concerned that if the landing legs pads sank to far in the lunar surface while the engine was running the engine might have contacted the surface and exploded. Everything however worked as designed and the 5 foot long Lunar Surface Sensing Probes alerted the crew with Armstrong announcing “Contact light, Engine stop”. One of the things the Hoax nuts like to point out is there is little blast disturbance in the lunar soil under the engine bell. I had an opportunity
to meet Buzz Aldrin and asked asked about it and he said that they were hovering at around 10’ feet and reduced power to basically idle and just settled down on the surface .

Looks good in animation form. But let's not forget Neil Armstrong never flew it on earth! As it crashed and exploded. What does that tell you?

You're right - he didn't fly the LM on earth...because it wasn't designed to operate in earth's dense atmosphere.
You're referring to the LLRV (lunar landing research vehicle) that he practiced for the lunar landing in and had to abort from during an incident where the attitude thrusters ran out of fuel.

@@EricBlair-jg2ux *where brain*
Every good answer spurs another question. The Ascent Stage had a docking window to help alignment for docking with the Command Module. From The Earth to The Moon episode called Spider tells the story of the process quite nicely. They decided to lose the seats, large bubble windows, and second docking hatch to save weight. Initially, they believed that the LM would need to have a Docking Window for the Commander to dock with the CSM, but it was easier for the Command Module Pilot to dock with the LM Ascent stage in the same manner it had already been done when extracting the LM from the upper stage.
After 50 years, finally I knew where they kept the lunar roving vehicle inside the lunar excursion module; Thank you, Jared Owen
Yes I've always wondered that myself!
Eugenio M. Alonso González was that in the ORIGINAL LM plans though?
Same here
I have known it all the time. It was described back Then.
You are fucking stupid to believe that crap. Guliable fool.
The thermal blanket material is called "Kapton," not "mylar." Kapton is MADE of mylar and flash vaporized gold. You've done a nice job here Jared, thanks.
nop, kapton has nothing to do with gold. Actually, this protection multi-layer cover was made from aluminized mylar (which looks like clear metallic foil), sometimes aluminized kapton (this one looks like gold foil), sometimes nickel and nickel-chrome alloy woven sheets for most tough parts.
Damn!
I was about to type that.
Right and wrong. Mylar is boPET and kapton is polyimide, two different polymers so none of them is made from the other. And it's aluminum instead of gold. The blankets on Apollo was probably aluminized mylar but aluminized kapton has been used on other space hardware. I say probably mylar because googling it gives references for both mylar and kapton on the LM descent stage. Since the lead designer of the LM, Tom Kelly at Grumman wrote in his book "Moon lander, how we developed the Apollo lunar module" that it was mylar, I it really was mylar. (See page 174, the section "Where the action is".)
Oh shit, even in this document written by Grumman and published by NASA, they seem to confuse mylar and kapton: www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/LM04_Lunar_Module_ppLV1-17.pdf
It says "polyimid (mylar)" but polyimide is not mylar but kapton. Then I don't know whom to believe anymore. They talk about some "H-film" as a more heat tolerant alternative to mylar that was also used. I wonder if H-film was kapton. Then I think they used both mylar and kapton and only used the kapton for the hottest places.

This is great because I was always fascinated by the LM. I wonder if the engineers knew they were giving this thing a face, or if this just happened by itself. Because it definitely has a face.
Excellent presentation with detailed graphics showing every compartment and its contents. The only thing I've ever known was the intentional
goal to produce the Lem with as few moving parts as possible. What incredible engineering.
It really was an incredible engineering design, especially considering the short timeframe.
You forgot that the ascent module for Apollo 10 -- Snoopy -- was sent into heliocentric I(around he sun) orbit after being jettisoned from the CSM. Snoopy is, in fact, the only surviving LM ascent stage that actully flew.
The ascent stages from Apollos 9 and 13 reentered Earth's atmosphere and burned up. The ones from 11, 12, 14-17 all crashed back into the moon after they were let loose.
The ones that hit the surface of the moon were intentionally crashed into it for seismic tests.

No, they intentionally crashed them onto the surface for seismic tests, although orbital decay might have been part of the plan they wanted them to impact the surface for the tests, kind of a "calibration" for the equipment left behind I guess you could call it.

What was helium used for?
They decided to use pressurized helium to force the two separate propellants together instead of developing pumps. Simpler system and removed 4 pieces of equipment that had the potential to fail when most needed. A very small level of risk no doubt but minimizing risk as much as possible was an important part of the LM’s development.
@@mako88sb Interesting! A very clever solution.
The LM was an amazing vehicle. Humanity's first true dedicated spacecraft, she never suffered a major failure nor caused a fatality. The Apollo 13 LM, Aquarius, served as the lifeboat to save the astronauts after the command module oxygen tank explosion. As someone from NASA described it, on Apollo 13, the LM's performance "greatly exceeded" its design specifications. The Grumman employees who designed and built them should rightfully be very proud.

I'm very proud to have worked for Northrop Grumman in Bethpage, to have sat in the building where the Lunar Module was designed.
When you see the lunar lander in person it is very large. It is much bigger than the impression you get watching it on a screen. As a matter of fact everything about Apollo is on a very large scale when you see it for yourself at NASA. The first stage engines are incredibly large and are the most powerful engine ever built! They never failed either and it just blows my mind how much fuel the fuel pumps could pump a second. The engines were throttleable and moved to change the angle of thrust to keep the rocket flying straight.
IIRC, the lunar module weighed 30,000 pounds when began its descent to the lunar surface.
Ugh, deleting my reply, because I confused 2nd stage with 1st stage. My bad.
@@aemrt5745 Wow!you get to work on all my favorite things!! I was machinist for 23 years specializing in wire EDM, so I used to use an early version of cad/cam to create geometry for whatever shape I had to cut. But anyway, talking about how big Saturn Rocket is when you see it in person, I forgot to say how big the Lunar rover is in person also, and it folds up into a small shape that fits in the Lunar Landers only available space on the decent stage. They land, go outside to the back of the L.E.M. open a outer door, pull on a rope that's inside, and the Lunar rover pops out and unfolds itself into a pretty good sized car or dune buggy with 4 wheel steering and 4 wheel drive and it was a great machine to get around on. I think the last mission they drove around over 75 miles during a 3 day mission, in 1972!!!, we had the coolest space ships, moon buggys and a reliable system to get large payloads to the moon to build a moon base, which was a original mission goal. They already paid for the research and production of this incredible machine so the rocket got alot cheaper because now they just had to build them, design and testing is over and we have 3 fully completed Saturn Rockets ready to go! All we had to do was figure out what we wanted to put on them and go to the moon. That's why it doesn't surprise me our smart government used the excuse that it was getting to expensive to keep launching and building Saturn Rockets when it was to the point where everything had been perfected, all they had to do is build them, and we could do that pretty fast now, we already built around 20 or more and 3 completed, ready to go!! But this amazing thing we actually pulled off, very successfully doing this in the 60s, dune buggys on the moon and all !!! Ya know, let's cancel it and not take advantage of this incredible,reliable machine we managed to build and build an even more expensive space shuttle, and we can reuse the shuttle but after a space flight it has to be overhauled, which was way more expensive than the Apollo Saturn mission single use ships, can't leave orbit or go anywhere like the moon, but it looks and lands like an airplane. And managed to kill a decent amount of astronauts. It just eats me up inside!! That's why Vonbraun quit being the head of NASA. They lied to him, they said get us to moon and we will build bases so we could build a space ship as big as we want and travel our solar system. He saw what was happening moving to the space shuttle that can't go anywhere. He quit NASA and was dead 2 to 3 years after the last visit to the moon.

I never though Apollo LM never had airlocks, wow. Those Astronauts have giant courage to did it.
Most spacecraft with the exception of space stations don't, they depressurise the whole ship.
@@dubsy1026 Not quite true. The Space Shuttle and all the various space stations have been fitted with airlocks. The main reason airlocks are used is when the atmosphere in the spacecraft is an air mix (oxygen and nitrogen). Space suits use oxygen only so it is safer when performing an EVA for the astronaut to spend time in an airlock acclimatising his/her body to pure oxygen before venturing outside. Otherwise, they could get "the bends".The Gemini and Apollo spacecraft used oxygen only atmsopheres when in space, so no acclimatisation was required before an EVA.
Hard to believe 2 guys crammed into a box habitat trying to sleep upright and get on all fours to crawl into and out of it as that. Before I saw this I imagined it all more elaborate and technical that this. Todays generation of ships needs a couch to recline on and plenty of snack foods.
@@dennis9707 They had hammocks they could sling across the inside which helped things a little bit. The main problem was trying to sleep whilst still wearing the EVA moonsuit. The suit had metal rings around the collar and cuffs and quite strong elastic bungees inside the arms which made them very hard and painfull to wear. Eventually, NASA gave the crews permission to take off the suits and try to sleep just wearing their undergarments.
Another issue was internal noise. There were buzzes, hisses, creaks and groans all the time as the radio and instruments were left on and the cabin flexed and moved as it reacted to the heat of the sun.

Nice, simple, piecemeal description. Good job.
Very minor nit: the "gold foil" on the outside was aluminized Kapton, not Mylar. Mylar was also used, but not on the external surface because Kapton could withstand wider temperature ranges. Kapton is orange-yellow while Mylar is grey. The aluminum was on the rear surface so you are seeing light passing through the Kapton and back, making it appear gold.
My best friends dad was in charge of the wiring for the LEM. Anyone who lives in Bethpage calls it the LEM.
The ascent stage mixed a combination of fuel that when combined created the thrust, no pumps, no igniter. Each egine was a throw away engine, meaning it could never be used again after it was fired
The ascent and decent stage was connected with wiring that ran through a guillotine. As soon as the rocket fired the explosive guillotine cute the wires to allow it to separate. If that failed or the engine failed, the astronauts would be stranded. My friends father had to stay at the plant until the astronauts were safely aboard the command module.
I lived in Bethpage across from the plant where they built the LEM. Did you know they always built two of them that were identical? If something went wrong, the engineers could use the one on the ground to help correct the problem.
After the moon landing, Grumman pushed the secondary LEM into the parking lot and spray painted it camo green. I used to see it out there every day. It was so sad to see it out there in the rain, snow etc.
Grumman waa bought out by Northrop, they closed the plant, layed off 100s of thousands of employees, sold some of the land to developers, ripped up the runway they had (they landed a Grumman Guppy there to xport the LEM to NASA) the huge hangers are now used as a sound stage for movies. The HQ building is used by a cable company. It brings a tear to my eye every time I see the plant. Leroy Grumman built a wonderful company and Northrop ruined it

My father in law worked on the Apollo capsule on all the flights, and he kept all of the tools he used to perform that work.
Bravo that man/men - and all the women !
@ G H That's awesome. It must really bother you when you hear somebody you say that the moon landing was faked.
Jared, this a very very nice, simple and at the time comprehensive animation.
Couldn't agree more! It was great!
7:44 I’m a diehard Apollo fanatic and I’ve never seen this picture before
Yeah, I am also very intrigued by it. How did they get that picture? By that probe that the apollo 12 landed close to?
That got to me too. I was about to say maybe it was cgi or something, but it looks too good. And they could very well have taken it with the remote camera on the rover.
@@shehzadamurthy1983
It's from the camera on the rover.
That's just a photo of the lunar lander taken on the moon when the astronauts were there, and then later photoshopped with the ascent stage removed to show what it looks like today. Just look at the shadow behind it and you can still see the ascent stage
@@MichaelCasey1988
I believe it's a real image, they did set up the camera on the rover to record the ascent stage, perhaps it was one of those? th-cam.com/video/9HQfauGJaTs/w-d-xo.html
I can't find any information on which mission this was, I'll have to do some more digging.
Hi Jared, urban legend had it that the foil wrap on the Descent Stage consisted of pure gold foil. Thanks for clarifying what this material actually was (mylar).
The greatest, coolest flying machine ever built...
Agreed. GOD=7_4. 7/4=July 4th was encoded by Freemasons who were also in-charge of NASA. The Lunar Module was 23'1"/7.04 m tall and was designed for excursions up to 75 hours. 7 LMs were supposed to land on the Moon - 4 were not J-type. Skylab ended in '74.
GOD=7_4 or FOD=6_4 (on Planet Nestor) is Design Worlds Theory & the 'Theory of Everything' (Seal #2). See 7seals.blogspot.com - only the returned Christ & Albert Einstein reincarnated could produce that. It's triggered The Apocalypse/ Revelation which is NOT the 'end of the world'. COVID-19 is part of Seal #2: S=19 (18.6) Theory.
Jared, thanks for the info. I used to work for a sub contractor that made the trainers for the personnel on the flights. I remember working on the LEM. Standing inside the LEM and looking at all of the gauges, switch panels, and dials. Absolutely breathtaking. Still remember thoise images to this day. Thanks again.
I’d love to be in one of those. I’m a young space nerd who can only fly simulators, but it’d be amazing being in one of those
This machine was pure design to follow function. It was built to work - not to look good.
That's why the LM is such a beautiful machine.
Respect for your time on this video creation!

jake glenn. Same paste job. Give your mom her phone back little man.
The configuration of the descent and ascent engines is completely different from what I thought, watching the event in real time. Very interesting presentation.
3:40--This answered my question on how they got the Luner Rover into the LM.
Yeah , they just used computer graphics !
well done! never had the exterior camera explained.
I read something once that it was nearly abandoned from the design because of weight concerns. Then someone said that there's never be another chance to record mankind's first step onto ground that was not Earth.
Oh neat. The sequence at 4:18 showing the Earth - Moon & back laser bounce is to scale both in size and the time it would take to bounce that signal...
Yes, except for the little pause the laser (in the animation) does when it hits the moon.
My 40 something y.o. model shows it's age! Astronauts were my heros before the Beatles!
Mine too before I grew up and realized it was all "fake"... Not the Beatles... the Moon Hoax...
@@clintonbrownell6386 Clinton that is very sad. You have managed to deprive yourself of the joy that comes with feeling proud of your species and instead you have replaced it with the shame of thinking your species has deluded you. And you have done this based on either a poor understanding of the evidence or a propensity to believe bullshit conspiracy arguments over proven science. Either way you are the poorer for it.
If your here in 2023 getting hype about space pop a thumbs up
👍
👍👍👍
👍
I’m getting hyped about the moooooon
I'm really exited for the new Artemis program and Musks plans with the starships. I think that Nasa, Space x and other international space agencies can achieve great Milestones like apollo and soyuz did during the space race
I followed the moon missions since I was a kid in the mid 60s I was 12 at that time and still research it and so forth build models i never knew what the LM all consisted of I do now thanks a million.
@6ix 9ine are you FOR real dude come on.
Liar. Mr NASA fúckstick talking shit again using Another of his multitude of aliases he uses to write his many troll posts on every fe video he can find. Loser
My father was an engineer on the LEM in Bethpage. Grumman was always a leader in engineering. There was no prior technology or forerunner of the LEM to build on but they all performed successfully.
your daddy a fool, earth is flat
bee zap why should I listen to a ghetto baby whose grammar sucks. Get an education.
Too bad there's no falsifiable evidences of your claim. Your father too? ROFL
@@scottmerrow7617 What an asshole!! I am totally anonymous. No one knows who I am. What good will lying or bragging do? I was just trying to share something. What a f'ing jerk. Sounds like some jealousy there. Is that the problem?
@@beezap8892 any evidence of the earth being flat?
I must say i have always LOVED the design of the LM.
th-cam.com/video/Ra0GAhvp2-g/w-d-xo.html
Fun fact: the LM descent stage turned up on one last mission--the telescope mount on Skylab!
@@natureandphysics403 I thought that looked familiar!
I know I say this probably 50% of the time, but this is my favorite "What's Inside" video...
I mean... WOW !
