Apollo 10 - Stafford, Young and Cernan! One of my favorite Apollo missions. First color TV broadcast from space, at that time humanity only stayed a few dozen miles from lunar surface. Americans have to give more value to their space program, it's a world treasure, especially considering that it's the only nation in history who performed lunar landings.
Man I love Gene Cernan. I am so honored to have an autographed navigation chart from this mission which came from his personal collection. It is by far my most treasured possession.
When you consider how expensive videotape was in those days, it makes us that much more appreciative that these original telecast tapes were preserved. Back then it was common practice to "wipe" or reuse videotapes as much as possible. Thankfully that isn't done that much anymore.
What a time to be alive, unfortunately I was born two and half months after Apollo 11 and was too young to remember any of the Apollo lunar landings. I did enjoy watching many of the STS missions of the Space Shuttle, still remember the first launch of the Shuttle in 1981, awesome and exciting.
I was born in October of 1965. So I was around but obviously I was quite young to remember most of the launches during that time. However, we lived in Satellite Beach, Florida which is like 30 or 40 minutes from Kennedy Space Center. MY late father was stationed at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station from 1969 to 1971. I do remember a couple of Apollo launches when we were there. One of them we watched from the beach in daylight. There were all of these people with their handheld transistor radios listening to the broadcast during the liftoff. What memories! I also saw one space shuttle launch in August of 2009 at midnight from Kennedy Space Center at midnight. I believe it was either Atlantis or Endeavor. I was there on summer vacation. That was totally awesome! You haven't seen a space shuttle launch until you have seen one at night! It's something you'll never forget!
Just finished watching on the 55th anniversary of this launch, and realized, this is the first time that no one from this crew is still alive on an anniversary of their mission. Ad astra.
Flying Apollo 10 must have been unsatisfying. Going all the way there only to hover ten miles over the surface. It is rumored that Stafford and Cernan were briefed shortly before liftoff that the LM did not have enough fuel for a landing, so don't try it!
I've watched these launches thousands of times already. They only seem to get better. What I wouldn't give to go back in time and see the launch of the largest, most powerful vehicle ever successfully flown into space. We still have yet to make another spacecraft capable of carrying both heavy cargo and people beyond earth orbit.
This appears to be the first U.S. manned space launch in which air-to-ground communications to/from the spacecraft were released live to the TV and radio networks.
2:24 Then: "OK, you monitor this system, and you monitor that system, and you monitor that system, and you monitor that system..." Today: "What are you doing?" "I'm monitoring all of the systems on my phone"...
Got a question for all the fake moon landing conspiracy believers out there: Was any part of this mission faked? If so, please explain. (Thank you in advance for the laughs.)
ULTRA_SD70ace productions Productions 10 was a "dress rehearsal." The LM Snoopy only flew to approximately 10 nautical miles above the Lunar surface before jettisoning the Descent Stage and firing the Ascent Engine to rendezvous and dock with CSM Charlie Brown.
They went there to test the systems on the lunar module and to know what to program for the descent so Neil would know what to expect when he went in for the landing.

I can watch a Saturn V launch over and over again. It never gets boring.
I wish I could have witnessed a Saturn V launch in person.. it must have been amazing!
IT WAS !!!!!!!
I agree - I think a word to explain the launch of Apollo for ex. "unforgettable" is to weak.
@HerkuzPlayz SFM what pad is this.
@@maxwellwalcher6420 39B it’s the only Saturn V to launched there
you can go see a starship launch (maybe) which will be even badder (hopefully)

it's insane to think that SLS is standing on this exact spot
"The tower is clear."
That's when control of the flight changes, from Launch Control at Cape Canaveral, to Mission Control in Houston.
I am watching this on the 53rd anniversary of this event. May 18th, 2022.

Good comment - wish the BBC had done the same as CBS
Or even NASA 😉 (I seem to remember that NASA lost some stuff due to recycling)

Walter Cronkite and Jack King!!!! Doesn’t get any better
In a couple of years, Cronkite was one of the main actors in turning public opinion against the space program.
Sure was something watching the apollo launches on TV as a kid
Thank you Apollo 10 and Happy 50th Anniversary!
I did...
simply wonderful
Jack King saying we have the firing command..how dramatic!..he was the best!
kvhonk1 We all love Jack!
+lunarmodule5 You are the best on here!

I'm so glad to have been old enough to see them live and understand the significance!
@@john3339 Is Apollo 10 launch on Pad B.
RIP John Young.
RIP Fellow John Young
Wow! We need to go back!
Was a young teenager then. What a time to be alive. Hope I'm still here for the proposed next moon landing.
Talk about a crew for the ages!
Probably one of the best crews.

this brings back memories
Sad to think that by this time, the Saturn V assembly lines had already been shut down.
Nasa was so classy back then
Godspeed John Young.

Is the Saturn V launch annimation in its entirety available? Always loved that.
If we only had 4KHD back in 1969.
where did you find these classic coverages????
Isn’t this the only saturn V to liftoff from 39B?
...totally agree
what pad is this from.
39B I believe. But the camera said 39A.
wow so you've had this for years??
these are from your original recordings?
WOW!
In less than 2 weeks, another moon rocket will launch from that pad
What was this recorded on?
I'm thinking 1" Ampeg videotape.
Sitting on a Saturn on a Sunday afternoon...…...
I want HD
I don't see this happening nowadays
Still one of the loudest man-made sounds.
200th like
10 seconds 5:20
Glaube Mut Liebe .
Funny how at 8:47 they switch to animation.
bwahahahahah thats what all the tin foil hat people will say.
These days with CGI, you'd never know.
Got a question for all the fake moon landing conspiracy believers out there: Was any part of this mission faked? If so, please explain. (Thank you in advance for the laughs.)
Yeah, those moon deniers crack me up. Lol
If the Soviet rocket engineers were able to be there for the Launch they would be extremely Impressed with it if they were allowed to do so.
If Apollo 10 came first how was Neil Armstrong on the moon first

Apollo 10:only orbited the moon they didn't land on it
They went there to test the systems on the lunar module and to know what to program for the descent so Neil would know what to expect when he went in for the landing.
I saw most of the launches. Jack King all the way. Can't stand the rah, rah of today.
I want HD
