This channel is CRIMINALLY overlooked and undersubscribed. Mr Homemade, thank you for your hard work. This content is amazing in both research and production.
I could not agree more,...Im telling anyone who will listen. Another cracking video,.......but I continue to be flabbergasted at the number of views/likes. It walks over most of the dross on RUclips.
Completely agree. You could play a Homemade Documentary for a 17 year old high school kid who hates science, and they'd watch it completely fascinated. These are the most brilliantly produced space exploration documentaries I've ever seen. The way they educate you while taking you to another place in such an immersive way is just awesome. 21.6k subscribers? Not for long. Content this incredible won't stay secret forever.
I am binge watching those amazing documentaries and I'll be doing that all day long today... One thing that struck me in this one was the sheer size of the rocket and its attached tower compared to the tiny helicopter flying around it...
All of these docos have production values better than 99% of anything made for tv. Research, source material, editing, score, voice over.....the works. Kudos man, simply unreal 👏
Apollo 9 was another mission I enjoy I recreated this mission over and over on my free time and I do it all in real time in KSP. This is important to me since where I live, we built the LM, we tested it on the ground and this was a HUGE milestone in the development of Apollo Although they could of used a Saturn IB. It’s an overkill to use a Saturn V for an earth orbital mission.
Thank you Sir for this excellent series. Your Apollo documentaries are fantastic. I grew up during the Apollo program and watched as much as I could on TV. Even at school we always had a TV in the classroom during the Apollo missions. My family lived in Houston so we visited the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center and mission control several times. I actually saw Michael Collins there during one of our visits; I was about 9 years old but remember it very clearly. I actually met James Irwin at our church shortly after he walked on the Moon during the Apollo 15 mission. Your documentaries cover so much more than I have ever seen and bring back some of the most awesome memories of my childhood.
Love these home -made docs!!! The research is unbelieveable. I'm 58, and at that time was an 8 year old kid not really grasping the enormity of it all. What a generation! Thanks for the detailed look back.
I don‘t know how I got here but I am stuck at your channel for 3 days now and I am watching everything. Seeing the LEM and CM maneuvering here was one of my highlights, along with the tracking shot of the Saturn V launch of Apollo 8. I have never seen this material before (even though I consider myself a space geek) and your usage of it to tell the story and context of all these missions is breathtaking and makes these events feel fresh and as awe inspiring as they must have been 50 years ago. I am glad I have some of your videos left to watch. I am also glad I discovered your Patreon page in the description of your newer videos - you should update the description of you older ones to include that. I guess I will not be the only one who feels the urge to give something back for the excitment, enlightenment and evening filling entertainment you did provide. Keep up the amazing work!
I really love ur channel! U do such an amazing work and great honor to all of the NASA programs. In honor of all the NASA astronauts who lost their lives
You do some of the best Apollo documentaries I've ever seen. I don't know how I didn't discover your channel sooner, but I just wanted to say, this is wonderful and outstanding work. Especially for the missions (like Apollo 9) that are largely forgotten in the public consciousness, and shouldn't be.
Growing up during the 60's, I was a "Space Fan". I lived space in my imagination and absorbed everything that I could. Later in my life I was fortunate enough to be hired by a contractor at NASA Dryden at Edwards A.F.Base, CA. It was fun.
Fantastic to hear the soundtracks from just about every great sci-fi movie ever produced. The perfect complimentary background to this superb production. On the verge of tears numerous times. Well done!
Homemade Documentaries should be NASA'S official archivist. I never get over how genuinely exciting these documentaries are to watch. It feels exactly like watching an epic action/adventure movie.
That was excellent. Apollo 9 gets lost in the glare of Apollos 8 and 11. You did a great job of telling their story. I'm looking forward to your Apollo 10 video next, another groundbreaking mission that is too often overlooked.
They get better with time! I am glad how this one turned out. I wish I was a bit more detailed myself on the Apollo 10 vid. I kept it simple on purpose for 11, and I really deep dive into specifics for 12 through 15.
4:28 I absolutely LOVE the historic retro images used throughout to illustrate the various parts of the Apollo mission; Bravo! -so glad you didn’t use modern CGI illustrations! /Lonewolf Liberties
I have used modern CGI in other videos, but I feel it’s important to give each film a distinct flavor and I felt it was appropriate in this case to stick to the visuals only available at the time.
i am so pleased to see this on here,it makes me feel that this stuff needs to be put out there on a grand scale to remind people of the great history of NASA! something the USA and the rest of world should be proud of!
Incredible! I love that you made these documentaries. I swear I tear up every time I watch one. As I’ve watched them all multiple times. With all the conspiracy theories and hoax videos out there, your Channel is light in the dark. Thank you!
I have build hundreds of engines, each time I fire one up I have a little pit in my stomach, and I'm good at my job, These guys had balls of steel when they fired their engines...
A wonderful video - I followed the Apollo 9 flight via BBC's "Ceefax" service with its clunky graphics of the LM and CSM - spent hours watching the slow updates - so very happy times full of optimism and hope for the future - thank you so much for the memories !
Yet another video that I would rate very highly. The amount of information, structure, narration, music selection, and additional context is very well done indeed. I'm going through your full playlist and perhaps not commenting on all previous videos, but I enjoy all of them very much. You certainly have talent for this; please continue.
editing error at the end: patch appears, disappears, then fades back in. For the last 3-4 episodes, I've made 1 minor editing mistake in every vid. I'm starting to believe it's good luck! CORRECTIONS: 1968 saw only TWO launches of the Saturn V. Apollo 6, and Apollo 8. Apollo 4 launched in November of '67.
Apollo 9 was the first mission I started paying better attention. I have vague memory of Gemini, nothing of Mercury as only 5 years old, recall Apollo fire, but 9 is when I sat up and really got into the space program. thank you for your work and dedication to producing these videos!
Great video of Apollo 9! I forgot about this mission and heard about it until watching this very well done documentary. While watching, I remembered parts. Especially the LEM maneuvors. I was 2-1/2, when this was originally televised. And from reading comments just previous to mine, RIP Jim McDivitt.
Hi, I am starting to watch your series with Apollo 9. Your narration is great, very well written and told, also the music fits perfectly. I enjoyed it a lot. The only suggestion I would have is that you add more details about the time span when Spider was separated from Gumdrop - on the one side that was just the scariest part of the mission in my opinion, on the other side the most important, I believe.
Gorgeous documentary, you made a phenomenal work! I'm watching all the documentaries you made about the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo missions, and I'm trying to watch them in proper chronological order, so I started with your 2+ hours Mercury documentary, and, oh boy, it was grandiose! You have a talent, thank you for sharing it with the world!
@@JacksonTyler That would be fabulous! I find the Gemini project quite fascinating and hope very much to watch a new documentary by you, I can see that you have refined your ability a lot! Also, are you considering a Patreon? Or at least a "donate" possibility? I see that there are people that would likely express their appreciation to you in this form!
I am going to open a Patreon at or just after 10K subscribers! I can’t offer much in terms of exclusive content apart from raw footage, but I am going to publish expense reports and keep it entirely transparent - and only use the proceeds from the patreon to acquire more and better footage. None will be used for personal gain.
@@JacksonTyler I think that many of us will be just happy to donate to express our appreciation of your work and to help a little in covering expenses that for sure you have to face in producing your documentaries.
Lovely doc, many thanks. The remaining LMs are at KSC in Florida, the DC Air and Space museum and the one I've seen at The Cradle of Space Museum on Long Island. It's a near ready LM you can get near 20 feet from. Since the museum is near Grumman where it was made you may meet LM vets volunteering. Not to mention a full scale test mock up and lots of engineering bits. The museum is near JFK airport and has modest admission. (Sorry for the boosterism. This is not a sponsored comment.)
I'm _slowly_ working my way through your videos, enjoying them as I go. Your work is very impressive, it's disappointing that you don't have more subs. Please don't be discouraged.
Looking back on some of these old ones can be quite painful. I have absolutely improved by leaps and bounds since the early days. I have nonetheless continued to enjoy making them as I learn.
Amazing stuff. It's become part of my morning routine now to wake up early, make some coffee and some eggs and then sit for a few hours just so I can watch my way through this incredible content. I've realized that since I'm enjoying your content so much I should be engaging with it so that I'm doing my part to grow this channel. I've subbed, liked and will now be commenting on every video to boost engagement. Thanks for everything, this content is incredible and it's nice to have during a time like this
These are probabl the best space doco's I've ever watched. Always find myself coming back to them. Good job Homemade! P.s. We need more. haha. I'd love to see something based off the unmanned, earlier Apollo missions (2 to 7) :)
I had the good fortune to attend the 50th anniversary celebration in San Diego, where all 3 crew members were there on stage to talk about the mission. Gene Kranz was also there, as were a few other astronauts, including some guy named Aldrin. Anyway, it was amazing to hear these guys in person. Even the Command Module was there in person!
The sad thing is if you were a kid at the time you thought it was normal. There'd be a space flight every other month and, later, 3 times a year and you looked forward to it. Then they just stopped. For 6-7 years there was nothing but promises about how wonderful the space shuttle would be, and when the shuttle finally arrived it couldn't do anything that they weren't already doing in the days of Gemini except that occasionally it killed a bunch of astronauts.
Same here. Started with them and then went and watched everything on the channel. Then my dad (who has had a beeper and then a flip phone till about three years ago) I told him about this channel and he’s now in the space shuttle missions
Interesting story APOLLO 9!! It is a flight most people never heard about! APOLLO 8 to the moon and back and APOLLO 11 that finaly landed; yes! BUT APOLLO 9 is a story worth to bee told! Great work on this docu!!! :-)
Rewatching and knitting.I enjoy the Playlists. let's me just zip through things. The blouse I'm working on fit almost perfectly. The cuffs were too short and so require lengthening, and one cuff was far too tight, meaning i had to rip it out and redo it. i'm a half inch into the redo of the too tight cuff and happily rewatching the apollo series. up next, apollo 10! thank you JT!
You’ve got a scary knowledge base of space history by this point! I wouldn’t be surprised if you knew more than I did. When it comes to just normal, day-to-day life, I’m quite a poor conversationalist on this topic since my brain is totally programmed to the work cycle of making these films. So much knowledge is loaded and then flushed out, and I’m trying to forget the last project and focus on the next one all the time. You’ve listened to my films so much I wouldn’t be surprised if you knew more about them than I did. You’d be a formidable presence in a space history trivia match!

Who is Marx?
Apollo 9 is criminally underrepresented. Excellent documentary on Spider & Gumdrop!
Apollo 9 was another mission I enjoy
I recreated this mission over and over on my free time and I do it all in real time in KSP. This is important to me since where I live, we built the LM, we tested it on the ground and this was a HUGE milestone in the development of Apollo
Although they could of used a Saturn IB. It’s an overkill to use a Saturn V for an earth orbital mission.

Aw, I had my fourth birthday while Apollo 9 was in LEO. Another great documentary, many thanks!
Thanks for this docu. As an Apollo kid, i enjoyed a moment back in my best memories. Goed music you picked.
Fantastic to hear the soundtracks from just about every great sci-fi movie ever produced. The perfect complimentary background to this superb production. On the verge of tears numerous times. Well done!
Still the best guy on RUclips. My Mum is moving interstate. I said this is the channel we will watch, at her new home. Best.

Without doubt the most detailed review of project Apollo. This is the standard to which other RUclips documentary makers should aspire.
Incredible! I love that you made these documentaries. I swear I tear up every time I watch one. As I’ve watched them all multiple times. With all the conspiracy theories and hoax videos out there, your Channel is light in the dark. Thank you!
Another amazing documentary, this whole series so far has been incredible.
Another remarkable Apollo mission, with some remarkable footage. I love the shots of the CSM and the LM orbiting in formation.
Outstanding documentary. It was the best I have seen of a single mission. Great job!
That means a lot, thank you
This is my favorite Apollo mission. Thanks for the wonderful doc.
Love your choice of music throughout all of your docs
I have watched almost the entire Apollo, Mercury, and Gemini series. Thankyou! You videos are second to none and brilliantly made.

I showed your amazing channel to my son, who did an internship at Nasa Goddard Space Flight Center. Your stuff is great!
I really enjoyed this video. Apollo 9 was a truly successful mission. Thanks for this.

There is something about the Saturn 5 that the space shuttle just doesn't have. What a beautiful vehicle.
Power. Raw, fucking power.
5 F1 engines made that thing an absolute beast.
The Space Shuttle was a Black Cat firecracker,while the Saturn V was an M-100.

Thoroughly enjoyed this.
The speed at which they rolled out missions in 1969 as astonishing...and that was 50 years ago!
Then again 1968 also had 4 missions. Those 2 years were amazing!
Absolutely
Motivation: They had to have time for second and third chances in 1969 if Apollo 11 hadn't made the landing.
The sad thing is if you were a kid at the time you thought it was normal. There'd be a space flight every other month and, later, 3 times a year and you looked forward to it. Then they just stopped.
