Apollo 11 launched on July 16, 1969, carrying Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins on a journey to pull off humankind’s first moon landing. The eight-day journey was made possible by the careful deconstruction of the Saturn V rocket and Apollo spacecraft, and made use of a technique of docking components of the spacecraft in lunar orbit so the astronauts could land on, and then launch from, the lunar surface.

But they traveled more than that since they went around the earth and moon to get sling.
@Vox, thanks for including metric units in the video. If only you could rely on them more than the U.S. customary units. It is indisputable that the metric system is better, because it is based on the decimal number, 10, as in humans have ten digits on their fingers and toes. The metric system is far simpler and logical. Virtually all countries use the metric system and it is used in every field of occupation.
Even NASA and the United States Space Force use the metric system in the fields of astronomy, space science and exploration.
Remember when the Mars Climate Orbiter crashed on Mars, due to not using the metric system.
1 kilometer is equivalent to 1,000 meters (1 km = 1,000 m)
1 meter is equivalent to 1,000 millimeters or 100 centimeters (1 m = 1,000 mm = 100 cm)
1 kilogram is equivalent to 1,000 grams (1 kg = 1,000 g)
1 cubic meter is equivalent to 1,000 liters (1 m^3 = 1,000 L)
1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters or 1,000,000 microliters (1 L = 1,000 mL = 1,000,000 μL)
The Celsius scale is the temperature that defines the freezing point of water at 0 degrees, and boiling point of water at 100 degrees.
Ok
Never mind all the junk, like LMs, they left in space and on the moon ~
Michael Collins
The forgotten astronaut
Varun sawant ruclips.net/video/tNEaDAlXSEY/видео.html
He flew in space twice, so whatever.
Well without him, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin would have been trapped
Lonliest man ever
Less well known, but recently did a interview.
Micheal Collins, the most humble astronaut ever
Curious feel sad for him
I don't understand how he could deal with it
@@evanb.5 I've often thought of that, but in reality, can you imagine how awesome it would be just to travel through space?! Yeah, I'd have a little moon envy 😁, but he's experienced something so few have. So that's pretty awesome in itself.
Diva in the Woods true
Michael Collins, one of 21 humans to have seen the far side of the moon.
Imagine accidentally leaving the moon rock samples in the other module.
Reminds me of some alternate history I've read, where Soviet cosmonaut DID forget the rock samples on the Moon and only remembered them after blasting off. I think it was either "Ocean of Storms: A Timeline of a Scientific America." or "2001: A Space Time Odyssey", though I might be mistaken.
caav56 Lol, depression is real.
@@ManofOneGod I remember at least cosmonaut was screaming obscenities on the live broadcast upon noticing this.
“Here come the multi million dollar boxes” one of the astronauts actually said that when they transferred the boxes
Just hold f9
-KSP joke.
The amount of math and calculations the engineers had to do in order to make all of that happen in 1 go makes THEM the real heroes !
@@tahaabusaymeh236 Yep.Exactly
They did it completely on their own
@@tahaabusaymeh236
By the Apollo missions, they had computers doing many complex equations.
@@tahaabusaymeh236 without a single computer, these rockets and the first man on the Moon wouldn't be a big discussion happening on Earth currently. sharpen your mind before spewing random stuff.
Neil was one of those aeronautical engineers lol, which is a big reason that he was chosen.
@@tajrian4579 The landing was the only thing done on the first try because before the mission there had been missions with astronauts who went around the moon and back.
The idea of splitting your craft in half, spinning one half around, and then reattatching the halves - while flying through space at high speed - terrifies me.
The speed of the crafts relative to each other was extremly small while performing those maneuvers. You can think of it like parking your car but even slower. The fact that earth spins all the time and thus moves your car and the parking spot doesn't matter for you, the car, and the parking spot. They and you don't even feel that speed. It is the same as walking around while being on a plane. The plane and thus you are going really fast but you can still walk around and easily are able to move around or sit back down without having to fear to miss the seat because of the speed relative to the ground.
Konseq I'm aware that they're basically not moving relative to each other, but my lizard brain isn't.
@@ThomasG_ everything is so large and far away you wouldn't feel any movement.
lizard brain?
oh hello zucc i didnt think you'd be here
The scarest part is the final fall, imagine:
Close space
You know it's probably melting from the outside
You can't see outside
You are in a soda can falling from the sky
Everybody knows that's almost the most difficult part of the mission if not just the most
Im still amazed the 180° turn and docking with the lunar module mid flight worked without modern computers.
Imagine docking after the landing. The amount of skill and even luck to get a rendezvous with those ships would be insane.
@@t65bx25 it's not hard it's just rocket science 😂
*plays no time for caution*
It was done with pilot skill.
You need aimbot 9000 and 360 no-scope. But seriously how they reconnect to command module in space with no GPS?!?
All this footage makes me so excited for when we go back. Just imagine the photo and video quality we will get.
We're going back again! Check out NASA's Artemis program :)
The Requiem Oh I know, and I cannot wait! It’s so cool. My dad watched the first moon landing as a kid and him telling me stories about it, building model rockets with me, and laying out under the stars and moon is what got me in to astronomy and human space flight. Now I get to see one for myself? And watch it with him? I cannot wait!

I always felt bad that he and all the other command module pilots never got to walk on the moon
How has his death not been all over the front pages?? 🤔🤔 I didnt even know that
@@JA-yz8eq because most people don’t know he went on the mission. Most people think it was just Neil and buzz
@@galactic4590 and then even still, Neil Armstrong gets most of the credit because he was the first to step foot, even though all three deserve attention
@@shintaro797 It's not like that. They're all on a mission. It's not about who gets to do what, it's about the mission itself. That is their Directive and they will carry it out.
This is basically their mentality.
Whoever did the animation and art-style for this video deserves a raise. This is a beautiful updating and utilisation of the visual style of original program.
I was just to make the same comment. Love the art style in the animations!
Beautiful art style but kind of misleading trajectory, the burn at 2:29 would actually send the spacecraft about 90° anti-clockwise relative to what was depicted.
bet youre fun at parties
@Quasar, it actually showed 5 engines earlier in the video @ 1:16 so don't know why they made that error in the animation, or dropped the orbital insertion burns. I know they wanted to make it simple, but inaccuracies are not educating anyone.
@@twotone3471 It's 5-6 minutes, what do you want in that time frame? People could go to college or university and take a course on orbital mechanics I suppose that would satisfy you?
And I'm watching this video with a computer that is a 100x more powerful than what they used to get to the moon. Amazing.
Unbelievable, in fact.
Not only 100 probably million times more powerfull.
Nah nasa scientists are saying that they can’t return to the moon because they don’t have the technologie to do it like they were in 69 so... world!
probably a million times
Meme Fief hummm!... but they have budget for mars :p
To think that only 60 years before, we had just invented the airplane.
In the next 60 years addicted to big pharma, fast food and a phone, and no-one is close to returning to the Moon =(
Only 9 years left before it's 60 years after the moonlanding. Our species are still stuck on Earth. We need Noah's arc to get out of here as NDA strings.
Ape from the kitchen of Enki and Enlil. i hope you know we’re going back 2024
@@meuandthelot SpaceX and NASA would love to disagree. They both are building moon rockets currently with NASA planning a test fight for that rocket to be next year
25 years before this moment, a massive war and a massive massacre was still ongoing. And launching a rocket from Germany to Britain wasn't even a thing.
I always wondered, how they returned back to earth, this video made that clear for me, thank you Vox
The official story is Sci Fi.
Right
Exactly.
I also wondered the same.
They returned by exiting the studio 🤣
Exactly. That's what I'm thinking also. HOW?
When you're a kid the name Neil Armstrong is one of the first names you learn about in Science class. It's quite amazing the magnitude of what these men accomplished.
Mr. Armstrong was a remarkable man. He wanted NO glory from the mission, insisting that all of the over 400,000 people who were involved with making the mission a success were as important as he was. He chose to be buried as sea so his grave wouldn't become a focal point or "shrine'. Men like him come along once in many years. Glad you appreciate that. Refreshing.
@@MaynardGKrebs-gv4vyNever knew he was buried at sea, kind of sad too. When Osama got wacked they dumped him in the ocean for much the same reason.
A correction here (3:10). The apollo craft actually had to light its engines and perform an orbit insertion burn once it got to the moon. Otherwise it would have performed a "s̶l̶i̶n̶g̶s̶h̶o̶t̶" m̶a̶n̶e̶u̶v̶e̶r̶
free return trajectory around the moon and returned to Earth. This is actually what happened on Apollo 13, and is what allowed that mission to return home without any propulsion.
It is worth noting that setting up this s̶l̶i̶n̶g̶s̶h̶o̶t̶ free return is actually not the most efficient way to get to the moon in terms of fuel requirements, but it was deemed to be worth the offset cost in case something went wrong, which it obviously did during Apollo 13.
Glad to see someone point this out. I was hoping they'd give some background on the slingshot maneuver because it's pretty interesting.
@@ZiMZiLLA its not a slingshot but a free return trajectory. A slingshot would add more velocity and kick them off into deep space. Many deep space missions like voyager used slingshots
Thanks for pointing that out so i dont have to
Ps is a gravity brake not a slingshot
You’re correct, sir. The SM engine was ignited to send them on their way.
The 2:28 burn is also incorrectly timed. It was on the opposite side of Earth from the moon, to transform the orbit into an elipse (if the moon wasn't in the way). It's the most energy efficient way to make the transfer in this case.
Called a Hohmann transfer.
This choreographed engineering feat is still amazing to me. Especially given the technology available at the time.
You mean like the Zenith TVs still working today? You can got to a antique shop and find many things from the 60's that still work. On/off switches/relays/motors/etc do not need modern computing power.

These kinds of videos, along with borders, is Vox at their best
yea, I thought vox was going to blame the white patriarchy and male privilege for not having any women or minorities go to the moon, and therefore the space program was racist and sexist. But they didnt so thats good.
It didnt happen though. Theres not even any stars in the sky.
@@ashhk10 Thank you for your service
No, I don't believe we went to the moon...
I *KNOW* we went to the moon!
Knowledge ≠ belief
Even though Michael Collins was all alone onboard the CSM he's always part of the team and still plays the important role of the Apollo 11 mission, piloting the CSM to the Moon and back to Earth.
It's unfortunate how he's forgotten quite often. And unfortunate he never walked on the moon. To sacrifice that opportunity for the sake of all three makes him worthy to wield Mjolnir
Every single KSP player have done this so many times
Check yo staging!
I don't want to gatekeep but try doing this in RO/RP0. I played stock for 560 hrs and it took me at least 20 hrs to land on the moon in RO/RP0.
I can make it to the moon but can’t make it back to my planet lol
Bruh 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
First time I recreated Apollo was an amazing feeling. Doing the 180 maneuver is hard even on a game.
The actual Apollo mission is a feat.
Just think your smartphone you are currently using to watch this video has vastly more processing power than apollo,

it does. how can a small device be powerful than a big device.
the moon landing is fake and the earth is flat. wake up people.
@@johnanna6047 stfu

What’s really astounding about the Apollo missions is the Saturn V was engineered and built by hand. Calculations were done with pen & paper, there weren’t any computer simulations that could be run to see if it would work. The engineering that went into the Saturn V, as well as all the other components of the Apollo missions, is absolutely incredible.
ikr
They had primitive computers.
@@bradwooldidge6979 That's correct, but nothing powerful enough to run simulations of how the Saturn V engines would perform or how it would perform in flight, to my knowledge. From what I know most of the calculations were done by hand, but I could be wrong.
Also, those F1 engines (which are still the largest and most powerful liquid-fuel engines ever built) were welded by hand. No fancy machines, just impeccable perfect craftsmanship.
@@gelatinous6915 Oh definitely! The rocketdyne F1 is an absolutely INCREDIBLE work of engineering.

We DID return. We returned 5 more times. Apollo 17 was our last time physically on the moon but it didn’t get a lot of publicity.
@@BGCflyer Exactly, no publicity. And the fact that scientists practically confirmed what moon is: basically a giant rock. That's why it's better for it to become a destination for civilian travelers, which will happen in a few years.
@@jamirimaj6880 ...so, your question was why didn't we return to the moon? you gave the impression that you didn't realize we have returned several times after Apollo 11, thus my response in stating we have. Anyway, the current NASA plan is to land on the moon again with human astronauts, then launch from the moon to Mars. They're hoping we can achieve this by 2024. It would be great if we did achieve getting humans to Mars in 2024 but I'm not sure if that's a realistic time frame or not.

Even though I was just a kid when this all happened, it is really no excuse. I am ashamed to admit I never really understood how the moon landing was accomplished until right now. The creation of that spacecraft was truly ingenious. I am embarrassed that I ever even entertained the possibility that the non believers could be right. That there really was no moon landing. I think we all have watched a little too much X-Files..., wonderful show as it was.

Whenever I hear about the moonlanding, in my mind it's always this short trip from earth straight to the moon and back. But when watching this video and actually thinking about it, I realised just how much of a technological wonder and historic moment it actually was!
Cue up "Wagging the Moondoggie" here on RUclips.
I think thats true for most people. Id say the vast majority assume you shoot a rocket straight up, on a straight line, and boom they hit the moon.
Had no idea they had to circle the earth first.
Watch First Man my dude, itll blow your mind
The specific data and figuration makes the Moon landing,plus Space travel ever more impossible for humans. Picture the return to Earth, space traveling in an enviroment with no air or atmosphere to protect from the Sun's temperature? Then the ridiculous claim that the Moon has a "gravity pull". Who was the camera man on the Moon when they departed the Moon? Super HoaX, the modern day "Tower of Babel". Awake children. Amein.
Yep.
What they were able to do is absolutely incredible. I don't think most people, including myself, can comprehend how this was accomplished.
Hey Vox, keep making this kind of stuff and I'll watch it all day.. even share it too.
If you wanna go to the moon get a VR headset and a game/experience called Apollo 11. Mind blowing stuff.

Those famous words:
One small step for man...
"I didn't get the second phrase"
A giant leap for mankind
GOAT One Small Step For Man ..... One Giant Leap For Mankind
LOL!
it‘s actually „one small step for a man“. without the „a“ it wouldn’t even make sense if you think about it
Indeo “Man” means people in the context of the quote
What the clip didn't mention is how many tests and trials were carried out before that success, it costs the lives of quite a number of astronauts along the way. May they rest in peace.
@edward king Don't say that when you have no clue how any of this even works. It's all pure talent and physics (oh, and a bunch of the national budget)
@edward king You could technically go to the moon without computers, it's kinda like flying a plane but 1000x harder. Space exploration is just very expensive, the reason why we haven't gone back is because the general public doesn't see a need for spending so much money on it. Even with our much more advanced rockets there are alot of things that have to happen for a rocket to lift off.
Don't you think something like SpaceX, which can freaking land rockets isn't WAY more advanced than what we had in the 60s?
3 heros lost their live in the 1st apollo 1 but as. Apollo 1 commander Gus Grissom said sometimes exploration for the good of humanity is worth the cost of human life
Michael Collins was not only a nice man but also a very good well balanced astronaut. He originally was destined to be the CSM pilot for Apollo 8 but due to health issues had to give up his place to Jim Lovell who almost made a catastrophic mistake during that flight by punching a wrong button of the computer. Not without reason he was chosen to be the CSM pilot for Apollo 11 and being so was second in command! He was the actual pilot for the mission as were all the csm pilots. Very underrated position with all the attention going to Armstrong and Aldrin. I felt sad by his death.
Jim Lovell's error was not catastrophic. It wasn't "almost" catastrophic. He punched something in the computer that made the computer think it was on the launch pad which caused it to change orientation. It also caused the guidance system to lose its orientation. The simple fix was to use stars to punch in the correct orientation, and they had prepared for such a condition and that's precisely what they did, and it fixed the issue. It caused zero actual problems that could have resulted in a catastrophe. Lovell was subsequently selected as commander of Apollo 13, so obviously no confidence was lost. In fact, Lovell had to do the exact same thing to reorient the platform due to the explosion on Apollo 13, so his "error" actually made him uniquely qualified to utilize the very procedure he had on Apollo 8 to realign the Apollo 13 guidance platform.
Why did Armstrong dislike the moon restaurant?

Yep
The moon's gravity didn't pull them into orbit...they had to fire the CSM engine on the far side to slow down enough to enter lunar orbit. Otherwise, they would have just returned to the Earth...hence the concept of "free-return trajectory"
GRAVITY=THEORY=BULLSHIT
True. That part in video is ridiculous
That's how Apollo 13 made it back, normal missions used what is called a retroburn to slow themselves down. That's how they got into orbit. If they didn't do that they would have slingshotted around the moon back to earth.
@@kipplox7377 Actually, Apollo 13 was the first of the Lunar Missions (8, 10, 11, 12) to NOT be on a free return trajectory. Not shown in the movie is the fact that just after the explosion, they had to complete a burn to put them onto a free return trajectory.
So you mean even at very near the moon, the earths gravity has more pull? Then is there a moon orbit at all?? Because everything would just slingshot towards the earth instead of orbiting around the moon! Trying to understand the concept here.
I remember watching this launch, moon landing and splashdown in 1969 as a young lad. It was fascinating then and still is. Never could get enough of it.
A beautifully highly accurate and concise narration of the whole mission in a nutshell. Thank you.

Vox: So what actually happened between here, and here
Me (who plays ksp) Let me explain
true
They weren't "pulled" into the moons orbit, they had to perform a separate burn with the SM Module engine twice around the moon in order to get into a circularized orbit. The SM engine was actually fired 6 times in total.
Really well done. Very faithful to the facts of the vehicle and the journey of the astronauts. Truly grateful for the work done on this momentous feat.
THIS is a BRILLIANT piece. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Fifty Three years and two days after this happened...and I STILL LOVE watching anything and everything about this historic Flight, Landing and Return!

The third stage(S-IV B) was not 'Useless', It was deliberately crashed to moon to study moonquakes by seismometers left on the lunar surface by astronauts .
So that stage was smashed to the moon for SCIENCE!

No, it was Europe. That is why we are to attempt no landings there.
Been that way since 2010.
😂😂😂. Thank you.
This is the best video explaining the moon landing that i can find on RUclips. Kudos Vox.
Watched PBS on Apollo 8 and 11 -- your explanation is brilliantly clear. Thank you.
Is this the greatest piece of human engineering ever?? I agree...anyone with me?
Yes.
@@atlas8827 this, aeroplane and antibiotics are the greatest science marvels of 20th century..
Yes
It’s many pieces. It was perhaps the greatest in that it employed the greatest number of engineers for a single project. But why try to rank great achievements. I prefer to recognize any achievement for what it did.
The Panama Canal was a great achievement which was a far greater benefit to humankind than the Apollo Project.
The defeat of the Axis powers in WW II was a great achievement, in large part due to engineering.
This is the best video i've watched related to apollo11th. Thanks
as an engineer, I am amazed like a baby by the engineering that rocket had at that time !!
Even if it's on 1969, the engineering of the project is astonishing. This is the best space project ever proposed.
Exactly what I was looking for. EXCELLENT JOB
Just from this video I can count twenty things that could have gone wrong with this whole operation. This remains the biggest science and engineering feat of all humanity.
Dhruv Goel yup except it was all a hoax
@@ManAndMachine23 ahhhhhhhhhhhhh No
ManAndMachine
"prove" it and we can unprove it.
give us what you got, moon fakers!
Biggest Sci fi movie of the century.
@@sciblastofficial9833 use common sense, with 5 kb of memory they managed to go to moon returned back, transmit signals, clicked photos, videos. Moreover. While launching a satellite to space all countries failed and it takes 10 attempts to do so.. That too when we have all facilities on earth. And with such poor technology they managed to launch satellite from moon? 🤣🤣 And succeeded to return back to earth. Use some common sense. It was just a hoax, a movie directed by USA govt to win space race
I met Buz Aldrin once when I was very young, by chance. It was at the Evergreen Air Museum in Oregon.
Awesome. I ran into Armstrong in an airport about ten years ago.
Pics or it didn't happen! 😜😜
You are so lucky. Happy for you 🙂
@@rajatsingh2956 there were no cell phones those days
I just love your channel and level of storytelling so much. As much as I like snackable content, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE you to do a full documentary on space travel!
1969: "Went to the moon, took 1 picture", 2019: "went to the bathroom, took 7 pictures"
50 years of ‘evolution’.
ah yes, boomer humor
1969 : went to the moon in aluminium ships .
2020: can't seem to pass the van Allen belts of radiation .
... makes sense
Nonagon Infinity, hey! You’re the one with an Akira profile picture!
@Genes I think you mean they took thousands. Check out the Project Apollo Archive on Flickr. It has every single moon photograph taken.
Crazy how many rockets blew up in our atmosphere where we are familiar with the properties and account for them during countless test, yet the most intricate systems worked flawlessly in a vacuum on the first try without testing them. Even cooler how the first words seem like a rehearsed movie quote and not like a human being actually being amazed at being the first human to ever set foot on another celestial body. Can’t wait for mars!
Most people forget about Micheal Collins but in reality his job was just as important, documented his findings and did crucial system checks. Micheal Collins actually quit NASA after Apollo 11 because of the strain it would cause on his family.He could’ve gone on Apollo 17 but instead basically left while he was ahead. He stayed married to his wife because of this and is one of the only astronauts to actually stay married after the mission.
Collins knew it was a Hollywood cartoon. He couldn't lie anymore.
Wow, this was beautifully created! Thoroughly enjoyed this.
The artwork is so well done👏🏽
Engineering Masterpiece and an unbelievable achievement. That was the day of celebration for the whole mankind. The Apollo 11 mission to Moon. Thanks *Vox* for a great visualization. Loved it 💙
So many pieces that were probably only used once and done. No wonder it was so expensive.
This is such a mind blowing video. You have tried your best to make us understand, how did that happen however still itcant believe that mankind has achieved this feat.
Asolutely amazing!!!
I still can’t wrap my mind around it! Every calculation had to be absolutely precise and all those complex pieces of equipment had to function flawlessly.
I appreciate this video because it's the best conceptual representation of how the Apollo missions occurred. I always thought I had a pretty good idea of how the spacecraft worked but didnt realize they disconnected and rotated 180 to attach to the lunar module. Very nice video!
"that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.".... Chills down my spine..
Well, this was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for creating this.
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks and man I love youtube
Thanks! This is EXACTLY what I wanted to know! You explained it so well and the mystery of how all the craft worked together at each step of the journey is no more. Peace out and congrats on a great peace of content.
Fact since the US flag was bleached by the sun the moon is now an official province of france
I like Dark humor :D us flag is probably not even sanding suns rays took it off the map
Actually, one of the flags was planted too close to the spacecraft, and the exhaust gases from the ascent stage engine blew the flag over. IIRC, that was the one broadcast by the remotely controlled camera left on the Moon to view the liftoff. The others, last I heard, are still standing, but the flags have indeed been bleached white.
Hahaha 😂 underrated comment
@@veeeks2938 a bit of am ironic thimg but im moving to canada at Quebec but i need to spesk french
It's almost like the noon surrendered. Unless flags, as symbols, have different meanings on the moon.
This answered alot of my questions.
Thanks
Okay, but what's gonna be the first quote on Mars? Ahahha, that's gotta be a lot of pressure. Neil's moon landing quote is beautifully concise and legendary!
" another step for a man , another leap for mankind" might be something like that idk
Capitalising on the release of First Man? Nevertheless, thanks for making top notch content and inspiring small RUclipsrs like me. You guys are just too good.
I just subbed pal :)
FFS Don't subscribe to vox media.
the 50th anniversary of the moon landing is in 8 months. Everyone is capitalizing on it.
me too
@@DOUCH3AG I subbed to his channel not Vox 😂 I know vox has some faulty information.
This was a perfectly condensed version which was explained very well. It's incredible to think how, when you look at it, this actually happened!
I've been searching for something like this - and it is exactly what I was looking for.
Watched Apollo 11 moon landing and splash down as well as the Apollo 13 rescue maneuvers live. These got me started to wonder what were the engineering behind. Thak you for uploading this video.
