0:43: Kennedy's speech to congress in 1961 set the tone for the entire Apollo program. With only one manned flight under NASA's belt, President Kennedy declared that we should land a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth by the end of the 1960s. It's hard to understand today just what an incredibly ambitious goal that was. NASA's employees and contractors took this goal to heart. After Kennedy was assassinated, many people took it as a personal challenge that should be met to honor Kennedy.
4:20: Buzz is putting on the communications headset, sometimes called the "Snoopy cap". The headset held earphones and microphones securely to the astronaut's head. There were two headphones and two microphones for redundancy; each had its own circuit.
4:50: Kennedy refers to Charles Lindbergh's solo pioneering solo flight across the Atlantic. That flight made Lindbergh a national hero. Lindbergh met with the Apollo 11 astronauts shortly before launch.
1:05: Kennedy points out that our space efforts are done in publicly. The Soviets did not announce or broadcast their launches unless and until they were successful. That lead many Americans to believe that the Soviets were far more advanced than the USA because nobody saw all the Soviet rockets blowing up.
0:33: The video shows the astronauts having the traditional pre-launch breakfast of steak and eggs. The astronauts were awakened at 4 am by Deke Slayton, who had breakfast with them. In addition to being a delicious breakfast that the astronauts loved, the high-protein foods were an excellent way to minimize how much the astronauts had to defecate once in their space suits. Breakfast was served by Lew Hartzell, a former tugboat cook. His meals were well loved by the astronauts. Also present in the room is Paul Calle, an artist employed by NASA's art program. Also present is astronaut Bill Anders, backup command module pilot. Slayton scheduled about 23 minutes for breakfast and held them strictly to that schedule.
I just wanted to post my condolences and RIP to Michael Collins who we lost yesterday, Wed, April 28 2021 at 90. 😪 I grew up with Apollo. I always get bummed when we lose one of her Astronauts.
I do too having also seen the moon landing live as a young boy - Although ALL astronauts played their part there will be a big loss when ALL Apollo astronauts pass away particularly those who actually walked on the moon or circled it.
Old enough to remember Apollo, young enough to witness Artemis! Although it’s sad to see our history fade away, it’s best to look towards the future, and make sure that the torch is passed again and again, further and further through the relay race that is progress! Looks like Buzz is the last man standing for Apollo 11, let’s hope he lives to see people go back to our little gray companion!
@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial I saw a question you posed ref how long did it take and how much, I just cannot find the post you put it on...the answer is it took 2 years to make the series. As for the cost - I have no idea - I have had to buy some footage but most of the material is free - I guess time is the most expensive part of these series. Hope that helps LM5
Mike's book "Carrying the Fire" is the best book about Apollo that I've read. He wrote it himself (no ghost writer) and he's an excellent writer. It's really a great book if you want to understand the process of putting people on the moon.
Absolutely brilliant. Great effort, deeply appreciated - especially for those who were glued to a black-and-white TV for pretty much the entire mission.

The Full Mission Series Production - An Explanation of the Process Production began in February 2018 with the intention of release on the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11's launch day (subsequently the pre and post flight press conferences were added). Each video took between 1 and 3 months to produce, working about 10 hours a week. Full Mission videos start with editing of the available audio for that particular day, sometimes split bewteen 3 tracks of audio (air to ground/flight directors loop/crew onboard tape). Once that process is completed the available TV transmissions or other associated video is positioned along with 16mm film taken by the crew. Photographs are placed in the mission timeline aprroximately near to where there were taken in the mission. Captions are then added to give pertinent information. The gaps that are left visually are filled with screen captures of the spacecraft from the Orbiter Space Simulator. Positions of spacecraft are approximated to what would have been seen on the mission, but during TLI, CSM RCS and SPS burns (LOI etc) the orientation is as near as I can get it to the actual (with sage advice from RW). Once these screen captures are in place the Apollo Guidence Computer (Virtual AGC) screens are captured. This involves setting the AGC time to the PAO announcements during the flight, screen capturing them and then transferring them to the timeline. Finally the title sequences are added. Final editing of the whole video takes place with a run-through of the whole thing before the render of the video. Video sizes vary from 4 to 48gb.
Britt has been a supporter of the project for a long time - has provided feedback and encouragement - he is mentioned in the main description and has a credit at the end of the last video of the flight. Thanks Britt - appreciate everything you have done - - regards LM5
Started to watch the first video 50 years after the event. 8 hours will be a phantastic party for me. As a schoolboy I could not watch the lunar landing and the EVA, as I spent my holydays in a remote valley in Austria without TV reception. A lifelong trauma ;-) :-) :-) will be cured by watching each and every minute of this full mission series. Thanks for that incredible effort.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, as I go through all of your Apollo missions again, I love these, and the treatment of Apollo 11 is just a masterpiece. It should be running at the Smithsonian. I look forward to Apollo 16 too. A great start.
@@lunarmodule5 And if it hadn't been for me randomly stumbling on your project I would never have found the Apollo Project and Orbiter 2016. Half a year later, after digging through all the various documentation that's been archived, hundreds of printed pages and pads, I even took that to the moon and landed safely. Things went badly once on the surface, but it was still quite a rush.
Can’t believe I only now (2021) just found this series. I followed the NASA podcasts at the time recounting the the pains of: Gathering the original audio tapes, restoring the magnetic media itself, then rebuilding the two-of-a-kind 30-track reel-to-reel player! So glad you, and at least one other, did something with all that! And did such an excellent job! And shared all this meticulous, accurate work! I am terribly grateful!
Very few posts on RUclips have value added from existing materials; your post has proven to be an exception. Great post: brought back so many memories.
Jim Watson My uncles roommates sister has a cousin who saw it too. Also have a friend who’s sisters husbands father in-law worked on the rockets exhaust system. Pretty sweet!
You have well-accomplished a noble public service by making these historic moon mission broadcasts conveniently available for all to enjoy. Thank you lunarmodule5.
I watched many many documentaries about Apollo. This is more informative than all. Raw material in the correct order. Very cool. It's amazing what these guys did in 1969. Only about 60 years after the first plane: the moon. Amazing
If there has ever been Thee Moment in the Space program worthy of a Eight hour Film, Apollo 11 is the Pinnacle for the United States of America. Thanks for all your hard work Jackson.
I was 5 years old when the mission took place. But I don't think I ever saw the mission this complete, not even when it took place. I'll be busy for several days now I expect... :) Thanks, really great what you did!
Thanks for the comments as always Yassine - I have been waiting to release it for 15 months!! I hope it meets your expectations - Enjoy it now it is available - regards LM5
Will there be a day two, three FOUR, five, six, and seven? *Edit* Ok I found Day Two. But, a bunch of Private Videos as well. Are these for the other Days? I hope so.
Oh, thank you so very much. You've done a wonderful job so far and I have no doubt you will kick arse with each passing day of your archive of this truly Epic Venture.
I’m currently recreating the entire mission myself and am using your videos on the mission as a reference to know what’s happening. This is amazing. Thank you for the great videos and happy Apollo 11 50th anniversary!
Absolutely fantastic LM5, truly amazing. Said it before and saying it again, you my friend are a 'steely- eyed missle man'. You even have the holy grail here, the onboard tape and it's clear as a bell. Outstanding work.
I was 9, and watched it live, glued to the screen of a Zenith B&W TV with rabbit ears. We wrote stories in school about Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins. I miss those days not from a sense of nostalgia, but because America used to truly lead the world.
July 16, 1969 - I was nineteen years old watching this launch on live TV at my grandparents home. July 20, 1969 - Watched the landing and Neil Armstrong along with Buzz Aldrin step foot on the moon (live) July 24, 1969 - I was at Ft Campbell Ky for Army Basic Training…Vietnam bound…
Eight Hours as makes no odds is indeed an effort worth making. It also should be rasing some serious questions about how NASA was... Or, indeed has been allowed to be ran as an organization these last 46 years since the end of Apollo.
I was an eight year old in the UK when my parents got me and my brothers out of bed at three in the morning to watch the first man walk on the moon. And completely without hyperbole, we were truly watching history being made. I'm sure many readers of my age group have similar stories, and it's not surprising we still have an interest in Apollo all these years later. However, even if you are in the 'millennial' age bracket it's hard for me to understand how anyone would NOT be fascinated by man's greatest accomplishment. But sadly, it seems so few are. So for anyone under the age of thirty who has the curiosity and imagination to have acquainted themselves with this era in space exploration, good for you!
This was truly inspiring and seeing how everything played out from launch to heading over to the moon, hearing Kennedy speak about going to the moon and why and what it meant to our country gave me chills! God bless these astronauts that made history for the first time! Apollo 11 will forever be a big deal in NASA’s space program history especially under the Apollo space program
What a Phenomenal Task!!! Not Just landing on the moon, but perhaps even more so, Putting these Mission Daley Video Packages together. What a task! I Remember the STS-1 Daley packages I think "lunarmodule5" also did.... As For this Installment, I recommend some kind of award. I know this took a team and a lot of time to do and I just want to thank you and all involved for what you have done. A Very Heart felt THANK YOU!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!! Can't wait to see Day two and the rest!
Thank you so much. You made my day tomorrow. It's raining and the rain could not have come at a better time. I have all day to do what I want to do, and this is it.
@@lunarmodule5 HELLO !!! And may the wind be always at your back, and May the road rise up to meet your feet. Rain or shine, I only have one priority for these 9 days.
I'm watching this having been reading Michael Collins book. As with Simon's other projects this is extremely well done. I'm listening through headphones and it's great hearing the cockpit conversations in my left ear. This is all stuff i wished I could have done as a kid and as a 19 year old as Apollo 11 was happening. Thank you so much Simon!
Incredible! GREAT job, thank you so much for posting this.This is priceless and should be shown in every high school in the country. God bless Neil Armstrong and everyone involved.
Hi all - Please check the videos description for a detailed timeline, credits to those who helped this project and other details that might be of interest - thanks for all the great comments below - mind blowing response!
This is such a cool production. It brings back so many memories. I grew up in a small town called Rosenberg, approximately 30 miles from Mission Control. I was 7 years old during the summer of 1969, and was obsessed with all things NASA. Thanks for putting this together and refreshing my memories of that special summer.
Just stumbled onto this. Thank you oh Great Algorithm for bringing me to this fascinating production!! My dad was an Air Force tech who had a minor role in the program. I remember how proud I was when he gave a slide show in class.
Welcome aboard the channel! thanks to your Dad for his participation in making this work - everyones contribution was vital, no matter how small or large - regards LM5
Wonderful video, just been listening as if it were really happening today on my headphones at work in London. Thanks for the months of hard work putting these together, can't wait for the rest of the days and subscribed!
One day trips to the moon will become the norm, but this represents the greatest achievement of all time! The rocket, the astronauts and the four hundred thousand engineers that made it happen achieved a milestone in the history of mankind.
Americans Achievement. Not the world's but American taxpayer sacrifices and their Technological research and achievements and Gambles to make those progressive jumps in Technology and Engineering and materials development just as Elon Musks Space X has developed new engines and Materials able to withstand the tremendous pressures and temperatures.
@@lunarmodule5 Not at all, the appreciation for your excellent hard work is all mine. It's a mark in history that's equal to the moment cavemen were intentionally able to light the first fire.
Having listened to nearly the whole Apollo 13 mission you posted, this is going to be awesome and well worth the wait. Many, many thanks for putting all of this together!
I'm sneak peeking at the video right now, but I will put it on from the start at 11:27:48 local time (UTC+1, Sweden), and woe to whomever disturbs me for the next eight hours. 😃 Or eight days, really... Thanks LM5 for an absolutely epic effort for mankind!
I love all of this. The editing, the raw sound and video, the additional highlights such as the Lunar Landing Training and the Lunar Suit Development and all of the different camera feeds. Your continued efforts are much appreciated as well as important to gather all of the details of these launches. It is crazy to think that this was 50 years ago....
It is fortunate that SGC is available freely online - there is a link to the program in the description - fun to have a mess with it and set the countdown or time in MET - it is an extremely accurate time piece!! - regards LM5
I remember hearing stories about this when I was younger. I wasn't alive until the end of 1976, so I missed all of Apollo, and everything that came before to get them into space in the first place. And yes, it's always sad to hear of the passing of any astronaut who was a part of the space programme, but especially to those who made it possible to go to the moon. To those Apollo astronauts who are no longer with us: Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee (Apollo 1) Walter Schirra and Donn Eisele (Apollo 7) John Young and Gene Cernan (Apollo 10) Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins (Apollo 11) Charles Conrad, Richard Gordon and Alan Bean (Apollo 12) John Swigert (Apollo 13) Alan Shepard, Stuart Roosa and Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14) Alfred Worden and James Irwin (Apollo 15) Ronald Evans (Apollo 17) * I also note that many of the astronauts on earlier missions participated on later ones as well (for example, John Young on Apollo 10 and 16, Gene Cernan on 10 and 17). To think it's been more than 50 years since the first man walked on the moon, and we're closing in on the 50th anniversary dates for the final walk on the moon (Apollo 17 will reach her 50th anniversary in December 2022 - Launched December 9th, recovered December 17th). I think it's long overdue for us to start exploring the moon again, and not just to say that we can, but because it will make it easier to launch manned solar system missions from the moon than from Earth.
thought those speeches had to be at the beginning and seeing as there is no audio for the breakfast or suit up sequences it seemed appropriate to put them there - regards LM5
As I watch this, I'm going to add notes with time links. I'm working from memory, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.
0:43: Kennedy's speech to congress in 1961 set the tone for the entire Apollo program. With only one manned flight under NASA's belt, President Kennedy declared that we should land a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth by the end of the 1960s.

If RUclips ever gives awards like Oscars or Emmys you sir deserve the Lifetime Achievement.
That I very much doubt lol
I couldn't have given him a better compliment. Well said. Ditto!!
If anyone at NASA is listening - I nominate Lunarmodule5 for a Silver Snoopy for all the work he has done on the Apollo mission presentations!
LOL I don't think anyone at NASA is listening! I think I might have heard by now :-P
They do give awards. Its called the stearmies.
I was 10 years old when this happened. At that time in my young life the only thing more thrilling was when my dad came home from Vietnam.
Thanks for the comment 2nd
Thank your dad for me please I was to young but I have great respect for those who served.
Me too! Had just turned 10 on May 23rd of 1969! LM5… you rock!🚀
Your father is a true hero.

@@lunarmodule5 I know! Someone told me two years ago, when it was the anniversary and I first queried it, but thanks for replying, anyway.
Great work. History owes you a debt. I saw the launch from Irving, TX 50 years ago tomorrow morning.
Thanks Jim - I envy you - enjoy the series - regards LM5
Jim Watson My uncles roommates sister has a cousin who saw it too. Also have a friend who’s sisters husbands father in-law worked on the rockets exhaust system. Pretty sweet!
What was it like seeing and hearing the Saturn 5 I bet it would of been very loud with those big F1 engines

Play at 6:17:48 AM (Eastern Standard Time) to sync up with the real time dates of the launch.
Good call Egg - hope you watch a bit of it before then!
Not Eastern Daylight?
You have well-accomplished a noble public service by making these historic moon mission broadcasts conveniently available for all to enjoy. Thank you lunarmodule5.
You are welcome Brad
I watched many many documentaries about Apollo. This is more informative than all. Raw material in the correct order. Very cool. It's amazing what these guys did in 1969. Only about 60 years after the first plane: the moon. Amazing
If there has ever been Thee Moment in the Space program worthy of a Eight hour Film, Apollo 11 is the Pinnacle for the United States of America. Thanks for all your hard work Jackson.
Who is Jackson?
Rewatching this over and over can never be anymore fun! And i appreciate the work better with every time.
Over 1/4 million people have watched this video.....makes me very happy indeed!
As so many others have said, thank you so much for all your hard work LM5. It's absolutely magnificent.
TY Hedge - really appreciate your comments - regards LM5
Thank you very much for making this Apollo 11 series....this is amazing to have!!!
You are more than welcome - thanks for the comments and I hope you enjoy the whole series

You have put a lot of work into creating this entire series. I have enjoyed listening to what I've heard so far. Please continue to do what you do. :)
thank you Chris - that is much appreciated - I hope the rest of the video and series are as good for you. regards LM5
I was 5 years old when the mission took place. But I don't think I ever saw the mission this complete, not even when it took place. I'll be busy for several days now I expect... :) Thanks, really great what you did!

Awesome work. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning as I watch this!!
There are still 8 more "presents" to open......so take your time with this one - Glad you are enjoying it - regards LM5

That would have been Apollo 8, wouldn't it?
it would - and I already did that series! ;-)
A masterpiece sir, thank you very much for compiling and uploading.
Glad you enjoyed it
this shit needs to be seen by millions
Unfortunately I don't get those sort of viewing figures...:-)
Can’t begin to express how awesome this is. I’m a NASA nerd. This is the kind of content that search for. Thank you for the hard work. Brilliant.
Glad you are enjoying it James
Oh my God been waiting this for more than a year since I saw that preview of Day 1 😍. Thank you very much lm5
Thanks for the comments as always Yassine - I have been waiting to release it for 15 months!! I hope it meets your expectations - Enjoy it now it is available - regards LM5
I am a wreck right now... They are 4.40 and there is NO WAY I could make it on that thing.... NADA :)
Same here! I'd so been looking forward to it.
Will there be a day two, three FOUR, five, six, and seven?
*Edit* Ok I found Day Two. But, a bunch of Private Videos as well. Are these for the other Days? I hope so.

I’m currently recreating the entire mission myself and am using your videos on the mission as a reference to know what’s happening. This is amazing. Thank you for the great videos and happy Apollo 11 50th anniversary!
Happy 50th - good luck with the reconstruction - regards LM5
@@lunarmodule5 what did you like from the launch.
Absolutely fantastic LM5, truly amazing. Said it before and saying it again, you my friend are a 'steely- eyed missle man'. You even have the holy grail here, the onboard tape and it's clear as a bell. Outstanding work.
Thanks Richard - as always appreciate your comments - some of the DSE isnt as good - but its in there as much as is audible regards LM5
This video and all the work that went into creating it are incredible. A tremendous service to our country and the world. Thank you!
Thanks Skeptical...the series took 2 years of work - appreciate the comment - LM5
I was 9, and watched it live, glued to the screen of a Zenith B&W TV with rabbit ears. We wrote stories in school about Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins. I miss those days not from a sense of nostalgia, but because America used to truly lead the world.
Well done, Lunar! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication.
Thanks Harry
July 16, 1969 - I was nineteen years old watching this launch on live TV at my grandparents home.
July 20, 1969 - Watched the landing and Neil Armstrong along with Buzz Aldrin step foot on the moon (live)
July 24, 1969 - I was at Ft Campbell Ky for Army Basic Training…Vietnam bound…
Well, my plan for the day just changed! Thank you for your hard work
Sorry about that! lol
Eight Hours as makes no odds is indeed an effort worth making. It also should be rasing some serious questions about how NASA was... Or, indeed has been allowed to be ran as an organization these last 46 years since the end of Apollo.
I was an eight year old in the UK when my parents got me and my brothers out of bed at three in the morning to watch the first man walk on the moon. And completely without hyperbole, we were truly watching history being made. I'm sure many readers of my age group have similar stories, and it's not surprising we still have an interest in Apollo all these years later.
However, even if you are in the 'millennial' age bracket it's hard for me to understand how anyone would NOT be fascinated by man's greatest accomplishment. But sadly, it seems so few are.
So for anyone under the age of thirty who has the curiosity and imagination to have acquainted themselves with this era in space exploration, good for you!
We have lift off!
Congratulations on completing this titanic project - looking forward to the week ahead!
Thanks Ferrari - the week ahead looks busy but really quite wonderful - thank you for all your support - regards LM5
Thanks for putting this together !! 11 minutes in and I already have chills
You're so welcome!
This was truly inspiring and seeing how everything played out from launch to heading over to the moon, hearing Kennedy speak about going to the moon and why and what it meant to our country gave me chills! God bless these astronauts that made history for the first time! Apollo 11 will forever be a big deal in NASA’s space program history especially under the Apollo space program
What a Phenomenal Task!!! Not Just landing on the moon, but perhaps even more so, Putting these Mission Daley Video Packages together. What a task! I Remember the STS-1 Daley packages I think "lunarmodule5" also did.... As For this Installment, I recommend some kind of award. I know this took a team and a lot of time to do and I just want to thank you and all involved for what you have done. A Very Heart felt THANK YOU!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!! Can't wait to see Day two and the rest!
Thanks for the kudos skyprop - piutting this one together was an interesting journey in itself! Thanks for your support - regards LM5

Thank you so much. You made my day tomorrow. It's raining and the rain could not have come at a better time. I have all day to do what I want to do, and this is it.
may it be raining a lot more over the coming week!
@@lunarmodule5 HELLO !!! And may the wind be always at your back, and May the road rise up to meet your feet. Rain or shine, I only have one priority for these 9 days.
Awesome! I was a one-year-and-eight-month-old at the time and - now a real space geek - really appreciate this blast from the past.
I was about the same age at the time. I can just remember a little about the last flights. Do you remember anything about 15, 16, 17?
I was 1 year 9 month. Space stuff is facunating
Thank you so much. All school children should be made to view this to let them know what this country is capable of when we work hard.
Those astronauts had balls of steel, everytime i see this launch i can't believe how it must have felt.
They felt 4g

I'm watching this having been reading Michael Collins book. As with Simon's other projects this is extremely well done. I'm listening through headphones and it's great hearing the cockpit conversations in my left ear.

This is such a cool production. It brings back so many memories. I grew up in a small town called Rosenberg, approximately 30 miles from Mission Control.

Thanks John

One day trips to the moon will become the norm, but this represents the greatest achievement of all time! The rocket, the astronauts and the four hundred thousand engineers that made it happen achieved a milestone in the history of mankind.
Americans Achievement. Not the world's but American taxpayer sacrifices and their Technological research and achievements and Gambles to make those progressive jumps in Technology and Engineering and materials development just as Elon Musks Space X has developed new engines and Materials able to withstand the tremendous pressures and temperatures.
"We came in peace, for all mankind."

Thanks LM5 for an absolutely epic effort for mankind!
Welcome Benny - hope you have seen it now
I love all of this. The editing, the raw sound and video, the additional highlights such as the Lunar Landing Training and the Lunar Suit Development and all of the different camera feeds. Your continued efforts are much appreciated as well as important to gather all of the details of these launches. It is crazy to think that this was 50 years ago....

Awesome! Thanks! I love the candid conversations among the astronauts.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love how you show the AGC running before launch
It is fortunate that SGC is available freely online - there is a link to the program in the description - fun to have a mess with it and set the countdown or time in MET - it is an extremely accurate time piece!! - regards LM5
Thank you LM5 this is a true treasure
You are most welcome Matthew - regards LM5
I remember hearing stories about this when I was younger. I wasn't alive until the end of 1976, so I missed all of Apollo, and everything that came before to get them into space in the first place.
And yes, it's always sad to hear of the passing of any astronaut who was a part of the space programme, but especially to those who made it possible to go to the moon. To those Apollo astronauts who are no longer with us:
Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee (Apollo 1)
Walter Schirra and Donn Eisele (Apollo 7)
John Young and Gene Cernan (Apollo 10)
Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins (Apollo 11)
Charles Conrad, Richard Gordon and Alan Bean (Apollo 12)
John Swigert (Apollo 13)
Alan Shepard, Stuart Roosa and Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14)
Alfred Worden and James Irwin (Apollo 15)
Ronald Evans (Apollo 17)
* I also note that many of the astronauts on earlier missions participated on later ones as well (for example, John Young on Apollo 10 and 16, Gene Cernan on 10 and 17).
To think it's been more than 50 years since the first man walked on the moon, and we're closing in on the 50th anniversary dates for the final walk on the moon (Apollo 17 will reach her 50th anniversary in December 2022 - Launched December 9th, recovered December 17th). I think it's long overdue for us to start exploring the moon again, and not just to say that we can, but because it will make it easier to launch manned solar system missions from the moon than from Earth.
Thank you LM5!!! woke up and started watching Almost late to work
Sorry bout that Ben - lol - regards LM5
