God damnit I cried when you read out the plaque. We did well. Let's keep going. Your voice and tone is also absolutely perfect for these videos you guys do.
Humanity may be a blood soaked species. But space exploration has stood as a truly uniting force for international cooperation in the last few decades. Hopefully Apollo 11 will stand as the linchpin for an age of exploration and discovery as we venture out towards Mars and beyond. Apollo 11 represents the best of our species and history. And we did it with the computing power of a hand held calculator.
And now NASA's planing to do that again, but better just in 5 years, there are plans for a lunar orbital space station and first reusable rocket boosters are already in service. I'm proud of humanity.
@@petrpodskalsky1785 Unfortunately I doubt they'll make it. Parts of the mission equipment aren't even finished being designed yet (yet alone built and tested) and NASA has a much more limited budget compared to the Apollo missions. I'd love to see us return to the moon by 2024, but I have serious doubts about how feasible it is.
@@FishMr3 Please don't tell me that the new lunar mission is being built using concurrency, the same concept that's worked so well with the LCS, the F-35, and the new Ford class carriers. I'd rather them take their time and get the tech at least into the rough prototype stages than have them try to develop it concurrently; it would be cheaper and probably safer in the long run.
Ok, that was amazing and got me a bit emotional. I love your channel, and I wouldn't mind seeing more videos like this for real life spacecraft, from time to time. Great video guys, and I can't wait to see more from you
I recommend "Apollo 11." It's a film of found footage about that mission. Spectacular. Also-"First Man" with Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong. He was great in an underseen film.
Put this way, the whole program really does sound like hard sci-fi. It's absolutely incredible that it happened, and proof that aspiration can, quite literally, take us to the moon and beyond.
Beautifully done in the professional format that you always use in narrating in our beloved "sci-fi" universes, to adapt it to historical events is amazing, thank you.
Wow, I have been a Patron for a year, but this one really highlights the quality of the script writing, editing, and depth of information that Space Dock produces. When it is fictional it is easy to overlook, but exploring real world space craft clarifies how good these videos really are. I hope you do more like this.
Actually, the quote is One small step for “A” man. The transmission was garbled. Excellent video. I felt like I was 500 years in the future looking back at man’s first adventures into space.
I'm so accustomed to your voice firing off the detailed stats of fictional ships, it was surreal and fantastic to hear you giving the same treatment to Apollo 11. Well done.
It is we earthbound humans who claim the honourary title, as it is us who have not truly wrestled with gravity and escaped it's grasp. They have tangled with the gravity of two worlds, therefore they are true gravimetric space gents.
When Haynes manuals branched out to spacecraft and ultimately science fiction ships I loved it! Now Spacedock has done the reciprocal and there is balance in the Force. Thank you and it was well done!
It is also interesting that the history books have not made the correction to Armstrongs speech he made that day on the moon. In one of his last intereviews, he listened to the recording of what he said and corrected it. Neil Armstrong stated "That's one smal step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." The recording cut out the 'a' in "...for a man..."
Well done! I followed the Apollo missions when I was a kid. Most of what I watched, at the time went over my head. But I understood enough to know that the objective was to put a man on the moon. The excitement of that goal stayed with me for all the years of the Apollo program. I haven't felt that excitement since . . . until today. Well done, Spacedock, well done!
6:22 those must be a REALLY early animation. The CSM separated completely from the stack, rotated 180 and guided itself into the docking while the LEM/LM sat on top of the SIV-B, and was pulled out by the CSM.
This is what the world needs more of. If we are ever going to learn to put our differences aside and venture out we need to be unified. We need a common purpose. Not nativist dogma or the politics of fear.
Bravo dude. This was beyond an amazing tribute and one of the best summations of the Apollo 11 vessel and capabilities of humanity. Thank you. If I could give you all the updoots and support I would but sadly not this day.
I got to give you a major compliment this was an excellent video and a good tribute. Whenever I watch your videos about science fiction vessels I always say to myself I really wish that was real this is one of the rare occasions that I can actually say this is real
Please do more of these specials. It's not often I have an emotional response to a video, this actually made me shed a tear. Keep up the great work. For humanity!
WOW! This is one of the most succinct and complete overviews of the Apollo Mission I know of. I'd love to see more overviews of real spacecraft and missions, if that's even remotely of interest to Spacedock.
"guys, we've made a bomb that explodes really slowly. Sit on it and you should land on the moon!" Thanks Mr Dock especially to Mr Smart Professional! This was wonderful. I'll be showing it to my kids when they're more verbal, hopefully it'll inspire a love of all things space in them similar to what I have!
Spacedock I'm a big fan of this channel and have really enjoyed all your programs. But this really hit home for me, because I was 4.5 years old when this happened. I can still remember them reading the plaque and it was the first time I ever saw my dad shed a tear. Thank you so much for doing this.
My Great-Uncle Terry Slezak inspected the photographs brought back from Apollo 11. Those original photographs, the astronauts' autographs as well as dust samples have become family heirlooms.
As someone that grew up fascinated with space, watching sci-fi, and catching every public and private space launch possible (tragic failures included), I honestly teared up a bit at the end of the video. That vision of the future is what we as a collective humanity should be working towards instead of continuing wars and fighting over resources. Work in peace to the future for all mankind. Absolutely smashing script also, it was super well written. Maybe selfishly, it would be nice to see more videos on what we've actually accomplished so far. Like Skylab, the ISS, etc.
More of this! Mercury, Gemini, STS! It's fascinating, engaging and REAL! Much as I love your other vids and analysis work, science non-fiction will always have my heart! Well done sir!
you know, I don't often get chills watching this channel, but here it is. Absolutely awesome. Only one thing, might have done to replace "Crewed" with "Manned". I thought you were calling it crude at first and thought, whoa hang on a minute!
So glad you did this, it's great. I am fortunate to have been alive on 20 July, 1969 and watched the landing and first steps live at my home in California. A warm summer evening for us here, it was 19:56 local time (PDT), or Pacific Daylight (summer) Time in the States. So, for the folks in UK, 02:56 UTC 21 July. Ah, and Walter Cronkite, a CBS network newsman, a fixture here (back then). He was incredible..."Oh, boy." is all he could say at first, looked like his eyes welled up with tears.
Amazing video. When you look back at the fact that this was 50 years ago, the technical and engineering achievements of the design of Saturn V and Apollo projects are more remarkable and more of an achievement than some of the sci-fi designs you cover.
Extremely well done! I don't think I've ever seen a video of the Apollo missions that went into such technical detail. I really want more true life videos like this one.

A great video as always! If I may humbly request 2 ships I’d like to see videos on: 1. Admiral Class space warfare carrier (call of duty infinite warfare) 2. MG-100 Starfortress (Star Wars) Keep up the good work!
6:16 This was only done since Apollo 13 onwards as there were seismometers left behind by previous missions and the collisions of the stage with the moon's surface provided the data to investigate the composition and make up of the Moon.
Thank you, This is awesome. You should look up the R4 engines and how NASA had constructed them first (by hand where each one was basically an individual work of art by craftsman,) and the new R4A engines they are going to use for the new Mars missions. They got hold of a few of the original ones and after realizing that each one was individual, they remade the highly efficient R4-A model so they can reproduce it and change out parts for mass production. Its an astonishing story. You should do a story on it. (Oh and I tagged NASA on FB when I shared it on my page LOL)
What makes it even better for me is that at the time I watch this it's 20 past midnight, so 17/7 which makes this video my first birthday gift Thank you :)
Yes, that was my mistake. I was in a hurry to send the stats for the datasheets to Alasdair, our editor, and I didn't realize I had forgotten to fill the "manufacturer" space. That was on me. :/
6:23 that must have been an early concept animation, docking with the LM was actually done by using the attitude control thrusters on the CSM to thrust forward, flip around, and then thrust back to dock with the LM (still attached to the S4-B), then pull it away. Also, only on the later missions (after Apollo 11, IIRC) did the S4-B hit the moon, the earlier missions had their S4-B stages go into solar orbit. Other than that, a well-done video. :-)
I'm aware of the early S-IVBs' destinies, but there wasn't enough time in the video to go into such a minor detail. As for animation, that's a very early Apollo Mission proposal animation that Alasdair dug up, sadly again due to time constraints, as the video had to be exported for today.
This is absolutely perfect. I really hope you guys do the same for Apollo 13, because it proved just how impressive a piece of engineering the Apollo space craft system really was.
it's refreshing to watch a review of a real space ship where statistics aren't just made-up gobbledygook and things like engine names and power sources actually have meaning.
I was born on the 2nd anniversary of the first ISS mission. Meaning there has been a constant human presence in space all my life, I was born in the space age! Woop!
I wish that was cynicism but pretty much any and all youtube channels dealing with space ( fiction or reality ) has massive infestations of those idiots...too bad stupid breeds or we could just wait em out.
@@Generalscorpio as all smoke on earth rises, and the moon is above us, it is an entirely safe bet to say that the moon is a delightful kind of smoked cheese, most likely of wonderfully squishy consistency.
Great video! Several years ago a friends father passed away, he'd worked at NASA during the Apollo years. Since my friend has no interest in anything space related his father left me, "that science fiction weirdo", a box containing "memorabilia". I never thought much of it until the fifty year anniversary came along. Well, I finally opened that box... and Whoa! Some of the things in there are simply mind blowing. Now to figure out what to do with it all! Anyone ever heard of an Apollo 11 Mission Analyzer? Pretty cool stuff!
Follow our Science Advisor Gabriel on Twitter!
@GabrielBFonseca
Can I have that ending quote made into a plaque? That was awesome.
Sup
imagine what we could do if we sunk all our technological knowhow into a project like this now. would be mind blowing.
This video about Apollo 11's mission to the Moon would require 320 times the data capacity to store as the navigation computer that got them there.
Just to further highlight how much of an accomplishment it was.
Hopefully to see a collab video with Scott in the future.
And the cheapest smartphone on the market has more processing power than the entirety of NASA at the time.

Excellent video and a nice change of pace. I love the sci-fi stuff you do but would love to see more of this.
A great video as always! If I may humbly request 2 ships I’d like to see videos on:
1. Admiral Class space warfare carrier (call of duty infinite warfare)
2. MG-100 Starfortress (Star Wars)
Keep up the good work!
6:16 This was only done since Apollo 13 onwards as there were seismometers left behind by previous missions and the collisions of the stage with the moon's surface provided the data to investigate the composition and make up of the Moon.
Thank you, This is awesome. You should look up the R4 engines and how NASA had constructed them first (by hand where each one was basically an individual work of art by craftsman,) and the new R4A engines they are going to use for the new Mars missions. They got hold of a few of the original ones and after realizing that each one was individual, they remade the highly efficient R4-A model so they can reproduce it and change out parts for mass production. Its an astonishing story. You should do a story on it. (Oh and I tagged NASA on FB when I shared it on my page LOL)
Your closeing statements were beautiful thank you
Was not expecting to see this but im happy to see it!
What makes it even better for me is that at the time I watch this it's 20 past midnight, so 17/7 which makes this video my first birthday gift
Thank you :)
I absolutely loved this and would love to see more videos like it in the future.
You and GAB really did this topic true justice.
I rarely comment on anything. But I have to congratulate you and your team for this excellent job.
Simply fantastic. Excellent work.
I don't even know what to comment but I feel like I should. It was a very good video and I appreciate that you made it.
Well done, goose bumps and shivers during the whole video. Good work!
I looooove this. It feels like fiction but it's not
Fantastic episode! Loved the change of pace. A celebration of a monumental moment in human history!
10:23 You did not mention that the lunar module was manufactured by Grumman Aircraft.
John Robinson Grum? You mean the creator of Minecraft?
Yes, that was my mistake. I was in a hurry to send the stats for the datasheets to Alasdair, our editor, and I didn't realize I had forgotten to fill the "manufacturer" space. That was on me. :/
I didn't know that. But that's pretty cool, they were known for survivability in WWII so that makes sense. They didn't call them Ironworks for nothing
This was beautifully made, written and narrated. I hit the like button, but this video needs the love button.
I was caught off guard that it's been fifty years since the eagle has landed.
This made me tear up and reminds me that we have so much left to achieve as a species, thank you for putting this together
6:23 that must have been an early concept animation, docking with the LM was actually done by using the attitude control thrusters on the CSM to thrust forward, flip around, and then thrust back to dock with the LM (still attached to the S4-B), then pull it away.
Also, only on the later missions (after Apollo 11, IIRC) did the S4-B hit the moon, the earlier missions had their S4-B stages go into solar orbit.
Other than that, a well-done video. :-)
I'm aware of the early S-IVBs' destinies, but there wasn't enough time in the video to go into such a minor detail.
As for animation, that's a very early Apollo Mission proposal animation that Alasdair dug up, sadly again due to time constraints, as the video had to be exported for today.
This is absolutely perfect. I really hope you guys do the same for Apollo 13, because it proved just how impressive a piece of engineering the Apollo space craft system really was.
WELL DONE! Amazing video, and actually gave me hope for humanity.
I'm sure someone will do something tomorrow to ruin it.
Damn the special effects on this ship are amazing, especially for the time, it’s almost like it’s real footage
11:42 "Brief sojourn". I see what you did there
I totally don't know what you're talking about :)
Probably one of the best Spacedock episode to date! Well done!
I'm watching the Channel 4 live stream. Super fun time. I especially like poking at the hoax trolls.
it's refreshing to watch a review of a real space ship where statistics aren't just made-up gobbledygook and things like engine names and power sources actually have meaning.
Completely forgot I was born the same day as Apollo 11
Hi, Gabriel here (A.k.a.: Sojourn's Science Advisor/Guy who wrote this script)
DUDE SAME
Happy birthday to us!
I was born on the 2nd anniversary of the first ISS mission. Meaning there has been a constant human presence in space all my life, I was born in the space age! Woop!
Yeah happy birthday!
That was a fantastic tribute thank you
How are you supposed to stave off star fighter attacks without even a single laser battery?
And not even a single kinetic pdc!
They only learned their lesson after 13.
I suppose the segment separation could be used as a rudimentary decoy system to confuse targeting computers
@MichaelKingsfordGray Old enough to know strangers asking for your age online is a bit weird
@MichaelKingsfordGray who hurt you?
This is the best video you have ever done.
Waiting for all the moon landing conspiracy theorists to leave the "moon landing was hoax" comments.
The moon landing was obviously a hoax, you can't land something that heavy on a block of cheese.
@@Generalscorpio : I see your Brie, and raise you a Parmesan.
I wish that was cynicism but pretty much any and all youtube channels dealing with space ( fiction or reality ) has massive infestations of those idiots...too bad stupid breeds or we could just wait em out.
@@absalomdraconis What on Earth are you talking about, the moon is clearly a piece of Mazdam or Jarlsberg, how else do you explain the holes?
@@Generalscorpio as all smoke on earth rises, and the moon is above us, it is an entirely safe bet to say that the moon is a delightful kind of smoked cheese, most likely of wonderfully squishy consistency.
Great video! Several years ago a friends father passed away, he'd worked at NASA during the Apollo years. Since my friend has no interest in anything space related his father left me, "that science fiction weirdo", a box containing "memorabilia". I never thought much of it until the fifty year anniversary came along. Well, I finally opened that box... and Whoa! Some of the things in there are simply mind blowing. Now to figure out what to do with it all! Anyone ever heard of an Apollo 11 Mission Analyzer? Pretty cool stuff!
If there's any interesting documentation _please_ put it up online! So many things were lost in that pre-digital age.
And now i want to see how the Space Deniers and Flat Earthers go and call this all Fake again...^^
Nice Job on that video, well done!
I honestly teared up through out this. thank you for the fantastically written and delivered documentary!
