Brother your video is nice i regularly watch your videos from 2years . you always provide nice and real content You never promote fake facts about history in your videos. Keep it up bro
This entire series was incredible, but what stood out to me the most was the graphics. The production quality you guys put into this is nothing short of phenomenal. This is one of youtube's greatest channels right here.
I love the "new" thing yo do by combining all episodes in series to one long. Big shout out to the narrator! That voice could make anything sound epic and interesting.
This just confirms my theory that humans work best and most creatively when there's a time limit. Only taking nine years to essentially build a space organization from scratch and then accelerate to first place in a race to conquer space is astounding to me.
Sorry to sound cynical - but you can only speculate at the amount of palm-greasing and backstage politicking that must have been evident in order to ensure that certain astronauts were given particular assignments on these Apollo missions - Alan Shepherd's on Apollo 14 for example. Playing golf on the moon's surface on a 'serious' scientific mission ? What a t*sser.

Grissom and Buzz were my favorites! They are true heroes. They did what they were told. Some day we might be able to go beyond low earth orbit, but I am not holding my breath.
@@tmo4330 But, there is a new article that says that there is a strong suspicion that the rockets are balloons! ruclips.net/video/mXDgZ-8L9Ck/видео.html Note that it is the same procedure as Apollo 11, with the rocket that docks the space shuttle, after 50 years! 🤨
Agreed. I knew what an incredible pilot Neil was, but didn't know about aldrins knowledge of orbital mechanics. That's very cool. I mean, if it was real, which it wasn't, of course 😂 (Joke)
As a long-term aerospace nerd I've read everything I could get my hands on and watched tons of documentaries on space exploration. I'd never have thought one could condense the Apollo Program into a one-hour presentation and touch on any meaningful portion of the story. You've managed it, though, with a great overview that hits all the milestones, covers the challenges and mishaps, acknowledges the contribution of those on the ground as well as the astronauts, and places the program in not only a technical but also a social and historic context. Brilliant!

I remember seeing this live on Xmas Eve in 1968. My grandmother was ready to go with us to Xmas Eve church services. However, she lost her balance and nearly fell and almost broke her hip. I grabbed her arms and held onto her, called out to my parents and brothers for help. We decided not to go and placed her health and safety first. She was my buddy and role model and did not die until August of 1971 from natural causes. She witnessed many important historical events between the years of her birth in 1887 until her death in 1971, including the Apollo 11 Moon landing in July of 1969, us kids being born and growing up, the Civil Rights Movement, school integration and so many other interesting historical events. She loved history and it was her love of reading and learning that led to many of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to succeed in life. She is still missed by many family members today.
I'll bet she had TONS of memories to share! My Great Grandmother was born in Norway in 1887 then immigrated to USA about 1905. She died at age 26 of T.B. in Minnesota. So young and so much she left behind. She knew she had TB when she found out she was pregnant and insisted on going through it anyway. She died 2 weeks after my Great Aunt Bertha was born. Such legacies should never be forgotten. I was a kid in '68 and there was a lot going on with us around that time too.. Grandfather was dying in hospital and it wasn't an easy time. People come and go but their legacies should never be forgotten!
I have watched dozens of documentaries about Apollo and had no idea Apollo 12 had been struck by lightning on liftoff. So cool how that was resolved quickly by a confident controller. There were several other tidbits in this I didn’t know before - of course the best producers of historical content on the internet crushed it again. Bravo.
Imagine the pressure of landing on the moon for the first time, not only that but alarms going off all around you, computer overload and having to take over manual control to land safely in an area with lots of boulders. The calmness in NA voice proved he was indeed the man for the job.

I was learning to design electronic circuits with vacuum tubes in 1965. They were definitely not what one would want to send to the moon. Transistor and integrated circuit technology was just evolving.
I m not denying it but just look at cockpt of command module and modern space shuttle..the latter one i think is what needes to go on moon not something like tin can with very few switches ,dials and gauges!!
@@williamgreene4834 It's just not the same, though. Have you ever seen a Saturn V launch, either in person or on video? I don't think any rocket will ever come close to it, in terms of the sheer spectacle of launching. The sound of the turbo pumps spooling up and the igniters going off, to the rumble and shaking of the engines as the rocket begins to lift. All of those little things make the experience that much more amazing. There's just simply nothing else quite like it.
@@chrissego4370SpaceX's Starship rocket reached orbit during its third test flight last Thursday achieving its first entry into space. The rocket reached a terminal velocity of over 15,500 miles per hour and spent about an hour cruising above the globe.
I love that almost every Apollo documentary I've ever watched refers to the Saturn V as "the mighty Saturn V" because really, what word better describes that rocket than "mighty"?
Even though I was around back then and have memories of Apollo 17, this video has made aspects of the program much clearer. For example, I now know how the CSM & LEM were positioned for take-off and a good understanding of the role each Apollo played. Perfect video to watch for key points of the program in under 60 minutes.
Excellent documentary! A great overview of a program that ranks amongst the greatest of engineering achievements in the history of mankind. Thoroughly enjoyed watching.
Love each minute of this amazing detailed explanation of how human brains have no boundaries and can achieve the unimaginable onwards and upwards always.
Wow! This is top notch stuff. 1969....I can still recall as clear as day being woken up by my late parents in the early hours (UK) and watching those ghostly images through sleepy eyes....I was hooked right there and then. I'm still finding out things I didn't know.....like the make-shift carbon dioxide filter was already in existence before Apollo 13. I also remember reading a few years ago how Armstrong and Aldrin were very nearly stranded on the lunar surface due to an ascent engine ignition circuit breaker switch being broken clean off by possibly Aldrin's life support pack. Apparently a strategically placed ball point pen came to the rescue. Again, thank you for an amazing quality production with wonderful narration and editing.
Did you know that KISS guitarist Ace Frehley's father, Carl Frehley, was an electrician and helped to design the back up ignition system for the Apollo space program.
Because like 20% of the population think the earth is flat and space is fake. Not even kidding, a poll was done before and only 80% said they believe the earth is round lol 😆 The population is getting dumber.
I absolutely loved it!! As a space aficionado, this presentation effectively condensed "The Apollo Program" into an easily digestible and highly interesting documentary. Thank you very much! Mark Simon (USN, 1981-1989)

Imagine the feelings of the Apollo 1 backup crew after the tragic loss of their fellow astronauts, knowing that they were to be launched in the next Apollo mission.
I can only imgaine the Commanders words to his men. "We're going into space to do the mission our friends couldn't do... When we get back, we're gonna have a drink of scotch and raise a glass to the memories of our friends... amen."
What was not mentioned here is that the entire space program was put on hiatus as an investigation and top-to-bottom review of NASA and the space program was conducted. It was some time until the next flight and the astronauts could at least know that the way missions were being planned and conducted had been changed.
Five of the thirty astronauts died during the Apollo and Gemini programs. Aldrin was only on Apollo 11 because of the first two deaths in the Gemini program. (Look up Elliot See and Charles Basset). Apollo had a 10% probability of losing a crew during the program - and the astronauts knew it. The actual failures that occurred were not predicted in that analysis…
@@allangibson2408 Hi Allan, I am glad that you mentioned Theodore Freeman, Elliot See, & Charles Bassett. Many seem not to know about them. Also Clifton Williams who was affiliated to NASA when he died in a training accident. I would also include astronaut Robert Lawrence who was with the USAF Manned Orbital Program when he died in an accident in 1967. Space travel is never without risks, according to Wikipedia " a total of 642 people have flown into space under the USAF definition, and 19 of these have died". This gives a fatality rate of some 3% and as you said, this was much higher in the 1960's. Take care.
As an aviation engineering student...this is beautiful. If this was made by a documentary channel, I would have asked for everyone who made this video to be given a raise, but since it was not, I would request for them to have more views and subs.
@@koubenakombi3066you should know every mission was tracked by many ground stations. Even the soviets were watching us to see if we succeeded, it was a race after all. Quit being a clown 🤡
@@danielzhang5395 The moon landings was a scam. Armstrong, Aldrin and all the thugs from NASA lied to millions of people including children, and this guy is helping protect that lie.
I remember when History Channel didn't have alien stories, Travel Channel didn't have ghost stories but places to vacation, and MTV only played music videos. Glad to see this video on actual history.
I have watched many documentations on the Apollo Program, and this is by far the best including details about the Apollo 1 tragedy, photos and videos from astronauts, schematics, animations, etc. EXCELLENT! And a slight scotish accent does not hurt either, if my ears dont play tricks on meself :-)
@@koubenakombi3066go do some research before spamming comments please. It was impossible to fake them when they can all be tracked! You think the Soviets weren't watching? Your a fool.
This was absolutely EPIC, im obsessed with Apollo and training to be astronaut my self, this was one of the most well done documentaries and so well covered about every aspect of tha topic at hand. Great job
So much information..truly perfectly distilled.. this is my go-to video for people who want to understand the United States 1st mission to the Moon. The Apollo space program.
I love this!!! This is one of my favorite achievements to learn about. I admit I'm not big into cosmetology or astronomy, but the things we did. And the the things these people did with a passion and courage, is a concept I miss in this country today. I wish I learned about it sooner. Yall were my first window to the full story.
Great video! I have found that some documentaries about the U.S.'s manned space program of the 60's & 70's each reveal something the others don't. "Moon Shot" from TBS (1994) talks about the first "war in space" between the Apollo 7 crew (mostly Schirra) and NASA. Chris Kraft says it was the first time a crew had been insubordinate (the doc includes some actual heated exchanges). In another doc (I can't remember where I saw it - History channel, maybe?) it's revealed that mission control had concluded the "loose heat shield" indicator light on Glenn's Mercury flight was faulty and the heat shield was most likely not loose. But "higher ups" didn't want to take a chance and ordered that the retro-pack remain strapped to the heat shield to hold it on. Chris Kraft said that was an unknown procedure which could have actually damaged an otherwise okay heat shield, but he was overruled. After that flight, he said he made sure that the Flight Director would have the final say on all decisions ("the voice of God").
I can’t believe I waited to watch this! This channel is truly incredible. Had chills through the whole thing. Been watching this so much I’m getting close to memorizing the whole thing.
As long as you check facts and don't believe everything in this video. For instance, the head designer of Apolo was called Von Braun NOT Von Brown, a very simple fact apparently overlooked but the makers. They even call him Von Brown while having Von Braun on the screen.. That is next level stupid.
It’s a pity Kennedy didn’t get to see his dream realised. Jim Lovell is a legend. As are all the astronauts who risked their lives for the sake of progress. What amazing men and women. So intelligent, brave and motivated.
@@kongmiklike you understand anything about space. Also ever hear of insulation? Actually a vacuum is a great insulator itself that's why the suits needed to be liquid cooled.
@@kongmik The moon is a vacuum, it has no atmosphere meaning there very little to actually conduct heat. You only need to make sure that the parts that make contact with the lunar surface are insulated.
Is it just me, or did the Apollo XII crew have the most rizz? Driving those matching gold corvettes into work everyday! They must've had a blast on that ship (quite literally.) Excellent production!
This is like the movie Prestige. A lot of people think the moon landing happened from nowhere just like, like USA decided, today we will go to the moon and bam. That's why some people think it's fake. But in reality a lot of hard work, failures, suffering and sacrifices for more than 12 years were behind such a success.
I believe that it’s genuinely insulting to the US, the astronauts that traveled to the moon, and the ones that died trying to get there to say that “it was all a hoax”
@EvanCatani Truth is sometimes painful, but not insulting. Truth is they faked it. At some point they must have realised that it is impossible with the available 1960s technology (it still is impossible 50 years later). Obviously they didn't want to admit that and therefore faked it.
@@THOUGHTCRIME_No1 Then I have a surprise for you; 12 astronauts landed on the moon 6 times and why was the technology not possible. Wernher von Braun shot a V2 into space on October 24, 1946 and took the first photographs from space. Don't forget that the 747 and Concorde were also designed at that time.
@@wimkuijpers1342 Well, I don't believe in it. Firstly I think it was just not possible, secondly there is a big pile of evidence that it was faked. 747, Concorde? Don't know what that has to do with it.
"That may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me." What an absolutely legendary way to follow after one of the most famous moments in human history, I can't believe I've not heard that before

12:30 The moments describing the Mighty Saturn 5 rocket were fantastic!
Yeah it gave me goosebumps
There is a US rocket ( star ship ) that is more than twice as powerful as the Saturn V. It will fly within the next month or so.
@@williamgreene4834
It's just not the same, though. Have you ever seen a Saturn V launch, either in person or on video? I don't think any rocket will ever come close to it, in terms of the sheer spectacle of launching. The sound of the turbo pumps spooling up and the igniters going off, to the rumble and shaking of the engines as the rocket begins to lift. All of those little things make the experience that much more amazing. There's just simply nothing else quite like it.
@@williamgreene4834so? Besides, I have serious doubts starship will ever make it to orbit.
@@chrissego4370SpaceX's Starship rocket reached orbit during its third test flight last Thursday achieving its first entry into space. The rocket reached a terminal velocity of over 15,500 miles per hour and spent about an hour cruising above the globe.
Beautifully produced documentary! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing piece of history.
I love that almost every Apollo documentary I've ever watched refers to the Saturn V as "the mighty Saturn V" because really, what word better describes that rocket than "mighty"?
If the the Saturn V is ‘mighty’, what’s the SpaceX Starship with TWICE the thrust?
@@warrenwhite9085 The Saturn V is still quite mighty. Lets hope that starship can be even more mighty.
@@warrenwhite9085what has starship done besides crash and burn?

Let's hope that starship and super heavy rocket can fellow in Apollos footsteps. how is that SLS doing Boeing???
Thiis documentary is so satisfying to watch.
Even though I was around back then and have memories of Apollo 17, this video has made aspects of the program much clearer. For example, I now know how the CSM & LEM were positioned for take-off and a good understanding of the role each Apollo played. Perfect video to watch for key points of the program in under 60 minutes.
Amazingly well put together documentary, was glued to the screen the entire time, thank you.
So happy to be watching this in the new age of Artemis, and no longer just post Apollo!
Hopefully it’ll have just as lasting of a legacy

Best Documentary on Apollo I have ever Watched Thank you Epic History TV love from India💌
Excellent documentary! A great overview of a program that ranks amongst the greatest of engineering achievements in the history of mankind. Thoroughly enjoyed watching.
Love each minute of this amazing detailed explanation of how human brains have no boundaries and can achieve the unimaginable onwards and upwards always.
Wow! This is top notch stuff. 1969....I can still recall as clear as day being woken up by my late parents in the early hours (UK) and watching those ghostly images through sleepy eyes....I was hooked right there and then. I'm still finding out things I didn't know.....like the make-shift carbon dioxide filter was already in existence before Apollo 13. I also remember reading a few years ago how Armstrong and Aldrin were very nearly stranded on the lunar surface due to an ascent engine ignition circuit breaker switch being broken clean off by possibly Aldrin's life support pack. Apparently a strategically placed ball point pen came to the rescue. Again, thank you for an amazing quality production with wonderful narration and editing.
Did you know that KISS guitarist Ace Frehley's father, Carl Frehley, was an electrician and helped to design the back up ignition system for the Apollo space program.
No, I did not.
How does this not have more views? Its so well made.
@VOTER FRAUD please pull your head out of the echo chamber
Because like 20% of the population think the earth is flat and space is fake. Not even kidding, a poll was done before and only 80% said they believe the earth is round lol 😆

Imagine the feelings of the Apollo 1 backup crew after the tragic loss of their fellow astronauts, knowing that they were to be launched in the next Apollo mission.
I can only imgaine the Commanders words to his men. "We're going into space to do the mission our friends couldn't do... When we get back, we're gonna have a drink of scotch and raise a glass to the memories of our friends... amen."
What was not mentioned here is that the entire space program was put on hiatus as an investigation and top-to-bottom review of NASA and the space program was conducted. It was some time until the next flight and the astronauts could at least know that the way missions were being planned and conducted had been changed.
Five of the thirty astronauts died during the Apollo and Gemini programs.
Aldrin was only on Apollo 11 because of the first two deaths in the Gemini program. (Look up Elliot See and Charles Basset).
Apollo had a 10% probability of losing a crew during the program - and the astronauts knew it. The actual failures that occurred were not predicted in that analysis…
Murdered by Nasa
@@allangibson2408 Hi Allan, I am glad that you mentioned Theodore Freeman, Elliot See, & Charles Bassett. Many seem not to know about them. Also Clifton Williams who was affiliated to NASA when he died in a training accident. I would also include astronaut Robert Lawrence who was with the USAF Manned Orbital Program when he died in an accident in 1967. Space travel is never without risks, according to Wikipedia " a total of 642 people have flown into space under the USAF definition, and 19 of these have died". This gives a fatality rate of some 3% and as you said, this was much higher in the 1960's. Take care.
I remember sitting down watching this as a 5/ 6 year old at school and the lunar landing never gets old all these3 years later.

As an aviation engineering student...this is beautiful.

So much information..truly perfectly distilled.. this is my go-to video for people who want to understand the United States 1st mission to the Moon. The Apollo space program.
I love this!!! This is one of my favorite achievements to learn about. I admit I'm not big into cosmetology or astronomy, but the things we did. And the the things these people did with a passion and courage, is a concept I miss in this country today. I wish I learned about it sooner. Yall were my first window to the full story.
sorry but I couldn't help it. the study of the cosmos is "cosmology." The study of cosmetics (like makeup, and shit) is cosmetology.
Watching this just hours before the Artemis 1 launch on September 3rd, 2022. What a ways we've come. Here's to a new era of space exploration!
Wellp it's gonna be on monday sooooo

Love your videos, they're very informative and enjoyable. The Apollo series are just brilliant, thanks. 👍😊
What a time to go back to this series after the Artemis launch
Great video! I have found that some documentaries about the U.S.'s manned space program of the 60's & 70's each reveal something the others don't. "Moon Shot" from TBS (1994) talks about the first "war in space" between the Apollo 7 crew (mostly Schirra) and NASA. Chris Kraft says it was the first time a crew had been insubordinate (the doc includes some actual heated exchanges). In another doc (I can't remember where I saw it - History channel, maybe?) it's revealed that mission control had concluded the "loose heat shield" indicator light on Glenn's Mercury flight was faulty and the heat shield was most likely not loose. But "higher ups" didn't want to take a chance and ordered that the retro-pack remain strapped to the heat shield to hold it on. Chris Kraft said that was an unknown procedure which could have actually damaged an otherwise okay heat shield, but he was overruled. After that flight, he said he made sure that the Flight Director would have the final say on all decisions ("the voice of God").
I can’t believe I waited to watch this! This channel is truly incredible. Had chills through the whole thing.
Been watching this so much I’m getting close to memorizing the whole thing.
Yeah I was 14. Remember the science reporter julesx burgmen?
As long as you check facts and don't believe everything in this video.
For instance, the head designer of Apolo was called Von Braun NOT Von Brown, a very simple fact apparently overlooked but the makers. They even call him Von Brown while having Von Braun on the screen.. That is next level stupid.

This is like the movie Prestige. A lot of people think the moon landing happened from nowhere just like, like USA decided, today we will go to the moon and bam. That's why some people think it's fake. But in reality a lot of hard work, failures, suffering and sacrifices for more than 12 years were behind such a success.

I believe that it’s genuinely insulting to the US, the astronauts that traveled to the moon, and the ones that died trying to get there to say that “it was all a hoax”
@EvanCatani
Truth is sometimes painful, but not insulting.
Truth is they faked it.
At some point they must have realised that it is impossible with the available 1960s technology (it still is impossible 50 years later).
Obviously they didn't want to admit that and therefore faked it.
