- Go behind the scenes with some engineers who worked on the Apollo program as they recount the making of the lunar module.
“The Apollo program was set up as an end game to get men on the Moon and return them safely. But to get there you have to learn to walk before you can run,” recalls Sam Koeppel, technical editor, Lunar Module, Grumman. What were the preliminary things and projects involved in doing that? Thousands of engineers worked on the Apollo program. In this video, go behind the scenes with some of them as they recount the making of the lunar module.
When President John F. Kennedy announced in 1961 his goal of sending a man to the moon, the United States had accomplished exactly 15 minutes of human spaceflight. America’s space program had already absorbed several high-profile embarrassments and the Soviet Union was winning the “space race.” Many thought that the president’s incredibly challenging deadline of a decade was setting America up for another humbling loss.
America’s political/Cold War fortunes were now in the hands of its top engineers. At the moment of Kennedy’s announcement, the technology, infrastructure, hardware, and technical workforce needed to achieve this goal did not yet exist!
The Apollo space program was, of course, a tremendous success-thanks to the 400,000 engineers, scientists, and technicians from more than 20,000 companies and universities who worked on the program. They overcame enormous technological challenges with creativity, innovation, and persistence. Their decisions and designs were sometimes risky, but always well-conceived and, on occasion, elegantly simple.
Designing the space hardware was only one part of the overall Apollo team. Thousands of engineers were involved in launch processing and monitoring the flights. In an era when computer systems were primitive compared to what we have today, constant communication between the astronauts and an army of engineers in Houston was critical to ensure the incredible success of the Apollo 11 mission.
Because of this combination of engineering foresight, fortitude, and teamwork, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon on July 20, 1969. Not only was it a giant leap for mankind, it also established the U.S. as the world’s most technologically advanced country.
My Father worked on the LM at Grumman in Bethpage……I was born in Bethpage a few miles away from the Grumman factory
I was 10 years old the night I watched Neil walk down that ladder and step onto the moon. My Mom, who was born in 1924, and my grandparents, who were born in the 1890s, were with me. Mom remembered the radio news following Lindbergh's solo airplane flight to France. And Grandma and Grandpa remembered the Wright Brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk. And now three generations saw humans do something that none of us thought we'd live to see!
And the medical and computer advances that resulted from the Apollo program have benefited everyone. Thanks to all the engineers, technicians and planners who made this happen!
Moon landings are fake
I was expecting a video on "MAKING" the LEM ... as in the actual construction of the spacecraft. Instead, I got a piece on how great it was that we landed on the Moon.

My Father Worked For GRUMMAN during the APOLLO Missions. He was a Quality Test Engineer at White Sands New Mexico in the 60's
Mr. Rapp, if you are able please convey my gratitude to your father for me and I am sure for many many other people who were around during the Apollo missions. I was less than ten years old at the time but was fascinated by all that was done and accomplished. I now enjoy a career in aerospace quality. Thank you.
At 5:38 the guy says that at the take off the upper part was severed from the lower part of LEM with a guillotine. Please, if you severed electrical cables, cables attached to batteries and fuel cells, fuel cables and other attachement conduits of upper and lower LEM parts, you would create unbelievable shorts in the electrical circuits and that would blow up all fuses and possibly create fire and render the take off as an impossibility. If anyone does not believe me, then take a pair of scissors and go up to any electrical cable that carries electrical current to a table lamp and cut it as fast as possible, then you will get an electrical shock and you will create a short circuit and at best blow fuses up in your home. I wonder who is that brave to do that. This is a bunch of crap. LEM never took any man to the Moon. No man was on the Moon.

And mighty fine looking legs she had too! 😉
Grumman Iron Works baby!! They have some very legendary aircraft and THIS spacecraft on their resume!! Awesome stuff!!
My mom worked for one of the subcontractors that helped build the Apollo guidance computer.
Why do people insist on putting music on top of everything??? The history is amazing enough
Great documentary! I love the Grumman group photo where the two workers are peering out of the Lunar Module Pilot's window! What a team! Thanks so much for making this!
I think that the chapter of the "From the earth to the moon" series tells better about the challenges of manufacturing the LEM
Man, that episode and the Apollo 15 episode were just perfect. Love that series.
I wish this actually showed the lunar module being manufactured.
nothing but pride and craftsmanship here!
A rarely found combination in 2021 mon ami! 🏆⚒️
There isn’t really any content in this video, it’s absolutely pointless. I was expecting engineering detail. It’s just a series of the people who worked on the LM saying how great it was and others saying that in the future we want to do it again. I want to hear these engineers tell us about what they did. Disappointing and typical of a modern documentary.
Thank you for saving us all time. There was an incredible Apollo documentary I watched on RUclips circa 2015. If I had known it would disappear and I'd be looking for it all those years later, I would have definitely written down the name.
It got into magnificent detail and interviewed several engineers.
I will commit myself to making a space race doc in this decade without using that Kennedy snippet.
Good luck with that!

@@ray.shoesmith Well I think that now is the time to take greater strides . Recognizing the head start obtained by the Soviets with their space documentaries [ lacking the speech snippet] , which gives them many months of lead-time, and recognizing the likelihood that they will exploit this lead for some time to come in still more impressive successes, I am nevertheless required to make new efforts of my own.
@@ray.shoesmith Because it's as hard as Rice beating Texas! (LOL)

I'm with ya. Oh! but it got some awards! Meh.
Was at school when Apollo 11 landed on the moon and watched the landing on black and white TV here in Australia have always wished I’d been able to be at the launch. Now even at nearly 60 I’ve still got going to space camp on my wish list.
The can do attitude was phenomenal and was key to the success of the Apollo programme, even against the backdrop of the Vietnam quagmire.
The LM's "legs" whet designed and built by a landing gear company near Montréal, Québec.
No details provided on the making of the lunar module!
The LEM - "or LM" was a wonderful piece of engineering - like the rest of the Apollo Program, it represented the pinnacle of cooperation between government money-movers, engineers, scientists and their private industry equivalents, working toward a goal requiring shared responsibility and shared accountability. You man-bun millennials will never EVER see its like again, regardless this "2024 return-to-the-moon dream" - UNLESS you figure out that only national pride, a national effort and national interest will return you to that spirit of cooperation. Sure, Elon Musk is a wonderful engineer and a VERY smart and competent businessman. But he ain't the end-all, be-all. In the days of Apollo, the "big-wigs" recognized that every person involved in the program (over 4 million of them) had the same importance. From the high-school-educated caterer who brought the food to the high-school drop out who swept the floors of the V.A.B. .... to Dr. von Braun himself .... all were important to the process and the absence or unavailability of any one of them would be felt. Putting all your eggs in the basket of some or other "internet billionaire" isn't wise. We're either all-in and proud of it, or people will suffer. This game we're playing where internet billionaires are our only "astronauts" denies us the knowledge we could continue to gain from exploration and replaces it with a videogame for selfish, elitist "sportsmen". It is a bad move .... unless your goal is to keep and worsen our country's problem with divisiveness. Oh, wait .... that's the goal, isn't it? Long comment but a great video deserves it.
Where any rivets used,What where the sleeping bunks made of,...What aluminium was used,..How thick was the glass in the windows......None of this stuff is mentioned!?.....We are not thickos....DETAILS WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED!!!
Nice to see these original guys give a little chat. Very misleading title. Full doc on the LM in under 14 min? please. If you want to see something that will actually exceed expectations there is a whole series of ALL the Apollo missions done by "Homemade Documentaries". Everything I've seen from "HD" is so comprehensive and enjoyable that you hardly even realize you are learning about the greatest single achievement event in the history of mankind.
But the complete series of all the original moon shootings and recordings are published exclusively by "spacecraft films" in 29 dvds; they were used as unedited references in the major conspiracy documentary "american moon" to dispute hundreds of evidences during the missions
@@zdenekburian1366 Oh, that's cool. The spacecraft films 29 DVDs that is.
The arrogance of the moon landing deniers is astounding. Just because they like going down the rabbit hole shouldn't mean the rest of us have to hear about it. Here is a fact that destroys any and all claims about a fictitious Moon landing. First of all, who had the most to gain with this so-called evidence of a fake Moon landing? Our cold war adversary, the Russians. But the USSR never ever posed this theory.
Is it because they didn't have 29 DVD's, too much weed and a lot of spare time? NO. It's because the United States of America landing on the fucking Moon. Multiple times.
Morons.
You should check out the Homemade Docs that I mentioned. They are awesome.
@@gcarlson surely I will, I never heard about them. About the conspiracists, actually there is a category who try to point out scientific contradictions, I don't see anything wrong with that, if it helps to clarify. I for example believe that the usa landed on the moon, but i also believe that a lot of the photographic and other evidence are fake. As for russia, that is one of the simplest arguments for the deniers. If you know the science of international relations, you know that no country would give up the advantage of revealing an adversary's secret, if from keeping that secret it can gain future advantages. Russians would have everything to lose to expose a possible american fake, because they had great advantages to collaborate secretly with usa and so to exercise a subtle power of blackmail. Meanwhile, they had flourishing trades of all kinds with americans, from agricultural ones, to machinery, etc. It is necessary to remember that soviet communism has always been a fake itself, it was actually state capitalism, having the urss a currency, banks, wage labor, market, etc. Communism (obviously in communism money and market cannot exist) was an ideology useful to subdue its own people and used for imperialistic purposes, in the same way "free market liberalism" is an american ideology covering their imperialism. Yalta was a reciprocal agreement for the division of the world between usa and ussr to divide the world in two spheres of influence and keep divided europe that could have become a future danger, as today inevitably happened. The same bay of pigs crisis was an evident false. However, if you watch "american moon" you will find a lot of food for thought, for example the part that interests me most is the question of jumps from vertical position of astronauts on the lunar surface, which according to my math research are too low to be credible. This aspect is not even treated in the film, but are also given some data that reinforce my thesis. Consider that the director is the most important world expert on the alternative theories on 9/11.
@@zdenekburian1366 What "photographic" evidence is fake? I've heard all the conspiracy bunk on stuff like "weird shadows", lack of stars, etc. which all can be de-bunked. Basically they don't understand basic principles of light nor photography (aperture, shutter speeds, ISO) that are in play there as is on Earth. So, we have the same odd stuff that occurs here on earth with cameras. Does that mean that the use of photography on earth to prove we are here is also faked? Your logic is severely flawed.
@@johndenicola6173 Am I correct saying that you didn't watch the movie yet?
Awesome thank you... I saw Buzz Aldrin speak for an hour here in NZ in 2010 about his experience ON the Moon 🇳🇿🌍👍
Then Buzz admitted on video to a young school girl a few years ago that they did not go !!!! Look it up. It was all a lie. Search videos by John Thor or Eric Dubey.
@@104thebigguy6 Can you explain how scientists still get returns from Lunar Laser Reflection equipment by the Apollo astronauts?
Lets see ONE real picture of ANYTHING on the moons surface ! Any large telescope at a university can easily see the American flag or a rover on the moons surface. Don't you think if the thousands of large telescopes that can see 'billons of miles', can see a couple hundred thousand ? It is a great story but sadly, you, me, everyone has been fooled. Lastly, a telephone call without delay at 269 miles ? Try talking to a call center today in India. Big delay. Research is the only way to open your eyes.
If your going to say a video on MAKING THE LM, then show us how the thing was made! This video tells us NOTHING,
Great video...👍

naahh
It was really a combination of all sciences, engineering,enginuity coupled with human courage to such a mission.
engineering is not not science.

A real challenge for human skills and we made it!!
🤣
I, like others, was disappointed to see that this did not really go into the engineering of the LM assembly, but more "post-promotional", or just to give homage to those who worked on the LM for Grumman - after all, Grumman is no longer there and have been replaced by a movie studio and also turned into a "Business Park" My guess is that this was used for promotional material when they opened up the Cradle of Aviation museum in Garden City. For THAT reason, the video isn't bad, but the title doesn't fit the subject matter.
You could've respectfully attenuated the soundtrack a fair amount for the sake of the fantastic narration and speakers. But nooooo, you apparently need the music.
Marvelous peace of Engineering !
Thanks
Great documentary! Thank you!
How did they make that LM structure fit into that cylindrical rocket hull, or aren't we allowed to ask? That's what I wanted to see.
The landing legs were foldable, and that's really all it took. Not exactly a large spacecraft.
C'mon, this is just basic info that takes less than two minutes to find
it was held below the Command Service Module in the 'shroud.'
Emotional!! Had a tear in my eye all through this documentary.
NASA and all the contributing companies are the coolest! xx

Are you a child?
Making the lunar lander?......I'm waiting!
Waiting for what precisely? Whether or not you think that the lunar landings were faked, Grumman built 13 of them. Moreover, you can see LM13 for yourself which was destined for Apollo 18. It is on display at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, Long Island, New York.
When I clicked on this video, I was expecting to see archival footage of the LM being manufactured and discussion of the engineering requirements for the design of the spacecraft. The video did not live up to the title. I still want to see a video about its actual manufacture.
It's weird how it's such a complex and tough machine yet in the images of it on the moon it looks like sheet metal pop riveted together with reflective duct tape 🤣🤣
It wasn't 'tough' in any traditional Earthly sense . You could easily push a screwdriver through it's pressure hull - a hull more akin to a metallic balloon than anything else . The only machine ever built to operate only in the vacuum of space . No aerodynamics to worry about . This , of course , does not diminish it's technological splendour in any way .
Look who doesn't know anything abouth flying objects. Planes are the same, they look cheap and some parts aren't fully attached but all of them has reasons just like spacecrafts do too
@@DrTWG Yes it is also an aesthetic splendor, I cannot understand so many people saying it is ugly, in my opinion you're right, in the machine there is a technological magnificence, and IMO these technologies are transmitted so smoothly to its aesthetic qualities, just like a true design process should look like. Aside from this, I only believe to apollo missions as a faith, because I have ever mounting doubts about them, above all in respect to the jumps on the surface and the gravity effects
It makes you wonder if was fake or not. But what you see on TV is always true, so it must be true what we landed on the moon in 1969.
@@tylerdurden4608I was wondering how long it would take .
So, how was the LEM made?
Very carefully. And there was not just one.
Partly by chemical machining to get the aluminum walls as thin as possible while still maintaining strength.
Does anyone know where the lunar roving module and lunar instruments were kept in the module prior to the landing?
Outside storage areas built into the LM. There is video that shows how it worked.
Yes, many people know this
Wernher Von Braun is the best American engineer!
Are you being funny?
A phenomenal little film. I’ve seen a lot of them…this one is unique and special.
Moon landing is something that is hard for me to believe.
This things don't look like flying machines to me and both astronauts looks almost the same size of the module.
To me, it just raised more questions
Because you are basing them on false premises.
You are basing your comments on what you are used to seeing an aeroplane do in an Earth environment. Because it would operate only in a vacuum, many things didn't need to be sturdy, nor did the shape of it matter. It would never have to deal with aerodynamic drag. In fact, the LEM was designed to buckle in the right places, as this was the most weight-efficient method of handling the shock of landing. The crew compartment was extremely cramped.
The lunar module was 23 feet tall.
A special time for all.
Nothing about it’s actual making here, misleading title
More deception, right down to the title. I was looking forward to how on the same crew vessel could that cool the hot side and warm the shadowed side but all I got was a bunch of flag waving. At this point there is no reason to release real, technical films of how it was constructed.
The lunar module is always sitting in the Sun.
There are only two ways heat can transfer on the Moon. The first is radiation, both directly from the Sun and from the Sun’s reflection on the surface. The astronauts’ spacesuits were designed to reflect almost 90% of the light, so very little heat would have transferred to them.
The second is by conduction from direct contact with the surface. This is also an ineffective process as the dust, soil and rock on the lunar surface is loose and doesn’t conduct heat well and the astronauts’ boots were insulated, slowing down conduction even further.
The heat generated by the astronaut’s body was captured inside a web of fine tubing within the spacesuit, into which water was circulated. The heated water then entered a heat exchanger, located inside the suit’s backpack. This water then reached a sublimator, where it was slowly and gradually exposed to the vacuum of space. The consequent pressure-drop made its temperature fall; the water would freeze on the outer surface of the sublimator and turn directly from ice to water vapour, which was discharged through an appropriately provided duct. To increase and decrease cooling a dial on the suit control unit was used similar to a household environmental system. The Lunar Module used sublimation in a similar manner but with tanks of coolant.
They was nothing in this video about engineering or the LM.
Interior volume was the size of two 20 C phone booths.
Apollo 8 story of astronauts Lovell, Anders and Borman who within hours after take-off fell violently ill with vomiting and Diarrhoea leaving six more days before returning home.
How they coped with the smell etc in an area no bigger than a sedan car is beyond most.
And what about stretching or exercise… floating in space for over 148 hours may compensate the difference.
Only Borman got "space sickness" and it was only for a short time early in the flight. The smell, etc., on the other hand, lasted longer.
Funny that all these Grumman engineers talk like Cecil Says!
REM
Very disappointing video. Very little information on the actual design and construction of the lunar module itself, which I consider to be the most impressive part of the entire Apollo program.
That thing wasn't 'built for purpose', so to speak.
Well apart from the purpose of being a prop.
Bolden is on there ? Why ????
how did the battery for the rover worked for hours at a 127°C moon surface? the NASA manual explicitly says the battery shouldn't be put in an environment over 75-80°C.
Because that 127°C you’re quoting is max temperature at noon on the moon. They landed at dawn during the Apollo missions and that lasts for a few days on the moon. The highest temperature recorded on the 3rd EVA of a J-mission was 69°C so none of the lunar rover batteries experienced anything over 75-80°C until after the astronauts had left.
@@mako88sb The way I've always understood this (correct me if I'm wrong) is that the maximum temperature on the Moon is +260F at lunar noon but with no atmosphere this refers to surface temperature not atmospheric temperature. One lunar day (dawn to dusk) lasts nearly 15 earth days, and the astronauts were only on the Moon for a maximum of 3 earth days, so they weren’t there long enough for the Sun to be at its highest and hottest which would have been about 7 1/2 earth days, so after 3 days, roughly 1/2 of +260F = +130F which is the maximum heat spec for the Rover. I'm sure I once saw a documentary where the CAPCOM at Mission Control says the surface temperature for that day's moonwalk is +106F. I think this was either Apollo 15 or 16.
4:24
Actual Apollo program engineers were good, but get rid of Bill Nye. Show us the real McCoys.
Ok, and why you say nothing about actual making LEM?!? I just lost 13:13 of my life for nothing...
Am I the only one who cringed when Bill Nye started talking?
The man is an engineer that got a science tv show for kids in the 90's.
Now the media and apparently company's treat him like he is the reincarnation of Albert Einstein.
Bill Nye is no dummy BUT he is also no astrophysicist nor rocket scientist... stop putting him on a pedalstool, he essentially scammed his way to where he is now and I am convinced he is related to Al Gore in some way.
5:38 This thing landed on the moon? Or in a Hollywood basement?
Yes, it landed on the moon, slick. In fact, it isn't the only one. There were 6 of them. That 'thing' had no wind resistance, no atmosphere or weather to go through. So, it was the perfect vehicle for what it was used for. You don't need a fuckin tank to land on the moon. Quite the opposite, you need a lightweight vehicle, made even lighter by the 1/6th gravity of the moon. No Hollywood needed, except in your conspiracy crackpot nutjob polluted mind.
@@nebtheweb8885 Hahaha! Sure...
@@truthvslibs2484 I’ve got a question. Assuming the landings were fake (they weren’t, but I’ll go with it) how would a real lunar landing be and look like? What would be different from the one we had?
@@jakemckee2005 First you would need a vehicle that could withstand the solar radiation flux (not a prop with 3 layers of Reynolds wrap as the cabin).
You would need a powerful power source to live on the moon for up to 3 days (Apollo 17), not car batteries. Imagine using your car battery to use your A/C on a hot day. How long will that last you?
You would use multiple rockets to land on the moon (and Mars) like all the probes do, not a single rocket engine.
That's just the tip of the iceberg.
@@truthvslibs2484 how could the LEM not withstand solar radiation? It had Mylar and it was reflective. That’s enough to resist solar radiation.

@@KPL400 False equivalency. Fighter jets do still exist even though the Concorde got discontinued due to safety concerns.. nice try though, shill.
What a surprise, you're still trolling 🤡@@Convexityofwater
For the same reason people aren't vacationing to the south pole by the millions.
@@Convexityofwater
Incorrect. As has been explained to you innumerable times, fighter jets do not carry passengers. There used to be a civil airliner passenger service. It was cancelled due to cost and unsustainability - and in spite of the Air France Flight 4590 tragedy, not as you suggest safety concerns, that is completely false (although the accident certainly accelerated its demise).
Apollo was cancelled due to the budget being withdrawn. And actually, there were, similar to your claim, concerns over losing a crew and safety after the near miss of Apollo 13. The worry was, another potentially deadly accident could stall or cancel NASA's future spaceflight plans.Also, the Apollo programme was ended because it had achieved what it set out to do - and more - and due to the fact that it was obscenely expensive, Congress were on longer able to justify the spending.
Concorde’s retirement was due to a number of factors. The supersonic aircraft was noisy and extremely expensive to operate, which restricted flight availability. The operating costs and maintenance required fare pricing that was prohibitively high for many consumers. The sonic booms meant that flight over land could only be sub-sonic and all this resulted in financial losses that lead both British Airways and Air France to make New York City their only regular flight destination.
The original point was that we had the technology to go to the moon and haven't been there since. The reply was that we once had the technology to fly passengers at supersonic speeds and yet haven't done so for over two decades. A supersonic civil airliner is not the same as a fighter jet, (which were flying at supersonic speeds two decades prior to the design of Concorde anyway). The "false equivalence" is entirely your own.

All of the equipment in both stages contained isolation relays that were opened just prior to liftoff. After that all of the cabling going between the ascent and descent stages was deenergized before being cut by the guillotine. Similarly, as long as your lamp cord is unplugged before its cut nothing bad will happen except that the lamp won't work anymore. Also, there were no propellant lines going between the two stages because each had its own separate propellant supply.

Grumman, known for making the ugliest planes to ever fly (F-14 excluded, even a broken clock is correct once or twice a day) continued their record of making ugly vehicles with the LEM. It is widely reported that Grumman kept an "ugly stick" on every engineer and designer's draft table and put out numerous memos to ensure the "stick" was used profusely.
The F-11 wasn't bad looking. Not a great plane, but not ugly :)

fake news
Total and utter horseshit.
Jim Steele answered to me. But I cannot find his post attached to my statement here, so I make it general. He calls me a moron which I always slide such person in the lowest inelligence level of evolutionary development. He argues that the blades that cut the lower and upper stages of LEM at take off do not have to be made of steel but rather of non-conducting material as not to create electrical shorts by severing cables and conduits between the stages. I never posted any thing about blades made out of steel. Or maybe he confuses steel with his last name of Steele; first name Jim?
So?
Good Lord are people still pretending anyone has been to the moon? Embarrassing.

@@Ruda-n4h yeah we just haven't felt like going back for 50 years, no other country either. Pathetic.
Only the uneducated think that it was a hoax. There are literally hundreds of high resolution photos shot on the moon, plus 16mm film and video. Plus they were clearly in a vacuum and 1/6th gravity. That could not be faked on Earth.
@@my3dviews
Your 'evidence' is exactly why we couldn't have gone to the moon.
The film in cameras wouldn't have been able to withstand such an environment.
Also who was taking all these pro shot pictures?
The astronauts didn't have these type of skills, and certainly whilst wearing bulky spacesuits, which gave them limited manoeuveability .
Which of the thousands of peer reviewed scientific papers on the data and samples from the Apollo moon landings have you proven fake?
Yeah, more politics and talk.
Fraud for financing.
So what RUclips conspiracy video are you parroting that from?
Great video other than Bill Nye
You had me until I saw Bill Nye. Was Pee Wee Herman not available?
Hold on. His bow tie gives him a lot of credibility.
The USA could no longer do something like this...almost half the population has lost their minds (the Republicans) and they would never allow anything like this.
Most Republicans have lost their minds, but I believe both sides could achieve something like this again.
Space travel unites us. Often against a common enemy. China is that new enemy. And I think we could achieve bipartisanship.
Fake!
We know you're fake , but thanks for confirming it!

Absolutely delusional. Compartmentalism at its finest.

This again?
Change the record.
"Compartmentalism at its finest."
Read any account of Apollo, and one of the first things you find is how much everyone talked to everyone else. There was no "compartmentalism".
Hoax
It's a shame that Grumman has no plans of the Lunar Excursion Module left anywhere. They are lost. Boeing lost the build plans for the Rover. NASA lost all the telemetry data tapes from all the missions to the moon. Why? This was an historic occasion. It should have been copied, guarded and properly taken care of. Someone should have been fired.
It's a shame that nothing you've just said is factually correct. All those things _have_ been copied.
You can't "research", can you?
absolutely. i just cannot comprehend the reasons behind this, at all. and of course this just serves to inflame the Conspiracy Tin Foil Nuts.. : )
@@LemonChecks : So all the telemetry data we have is what, faked? What sources did he use in his claim? Zero. That is what makes a tin foil nut job.
You're wrong. Grumman and Boing did what other aerospace companies did during that era.
They archived the documentation on microfilm.
Construction paper and tape. That way you only need 3 gallons of fuel to attain lunar orbit.
propaganda to deviate away from hoax
We know it was all fake. We woke up. ;)
Of course, it is all faked out:
At 5:38 the guy says that at the take off the upper part was severed from the lower part of LEM with a guillotine. Please, if you severed electrical cables, cables attached to batteries and fuel cells, fuel cables and other attachement conduits of upper and lower LEM parts, you would create unbelievable shorts in the electrical circuits and that would blow up all fuses and possibly create fire and render the take off as an impossibility. If anyone does not believe me, then take a pair of scissors and go up to any electrical cable that carries electrical current to a table lamp and cut it as fast as possible, then you will get an electrical shock and you will create a short circuit and at best blow fuses up in your home. I wonder who is that brave to do that. This is a bunch of crap. LEM never took any man to the Moon. No man was on the Moon.
@@ericephemetherson3964 No matter how many times you cut and paste this you are still wrong - All of the equipment in both stages contained isolation relays that were opened just prior to liftoff. After that all of the cabling going between the ascent and descent stages was deenergized before being cut by the guillotine. Similarly, as long as your lamp cord is unplugged before its cut nothing bad will happen except that the lamp won't work anymore. Also, there were no propellant lines going between the two stages because each had its own separate propellant supply.
@@joevignolor4u949 I understand your point theoretically. But all this you describe had to be done in unison with blasting the joint screws of both stages with pyrotechnical devices. And it is incredible that all was done at the moment of engine ignition. So: guillotine, blown joints, and engine rev. Also, you have to add immediate control of the attitude and thrust. Should these variables not be controlled, especially at the acceleration experiencing g forces, control can be lost right away. And did anyone think that any of these releasing devices may fail?
@@ericephemetherson3964 When the LM's ascent stage launched from the moon it didn't do everything in unison. Instead the launch was a series of events done in sequence. The first thing the computer did was to open the propellant valves to start the ascent engine. The thrust produced by a rocket engine is directly related to chamber pressure. There was a pressure sensor that measured the chamber pressure inside the ascent engine. When the chamber pressure exceeded a low limit (85 psi as I recall) the pressure sensor sends an electrical signal to the computer telling it that the engine is running and producing sufficient thrust for liftoff. The computer then moves on to the next step in the sequence, which is to fire the guillotines. There were actually two guillotines to provide redundancy. Each guillotine had its own separate set of ballistic charges and firing circuits. The computer closed relays to connect the ballistics directly across the batteries. This fired the ballistics, which activated both guillotines to sever the connections. The next and final step was to mechanically separate the two stages. There were four explosive bolts holding the two stages together. Each one had redundant ballistics and firing circuits. When the computer decided it had come to the proper point in the sequence it closed relays to connect the ballistics across the batteries. The four explosive bolts then fired simultaneously severing the mechanical connection between the two stages. When this happened the descent stage essentially released the ascent stage, which then lifted off.
How the LM's guidance system provided attitude stability and trajectory control is a whole story in itself. Briefly, the LM's ascent engine had no gimbals to save weight. As such it used the RCS thrusters to control its attitude during the ascent. The ascent stage also had a low and wide aspect ratio that made it relatively stable (when compared to a tall skinny rocket). The guidance computer simply fired the four downward facing thrusters as required to stabilize the ascent stage as it climbed vertically going straight up the initial one hundred feet off the surface and then the vehicle pitched over to begin accelerating horizontally on its way to orbit.
If you spend enough time studying this stuff like I have you will find that NASA and the people at Grumman (who designed and built the LM) did give it all a lot of thought and they pretty much thought of everything. And this included adding dual redundancy and doing very careful design and performing rigorous testing so it all worked correctly when it had to.
@@ericephemetherson3964 I see you're busy creating an Alternative Reality World for yourself. Have fun existing there. Meanwhile, the Real World moves on and doesn't care who you are or what you think or believe in. Your thought processes are an incomprehensible mess. You actually exist in a self-delusional world of your own imaginings. Do yourself a big favour and go get a basic education about the subject you so ignorantly comment about. Even a primary school child has a better grasp of reality than you do.

@@apocalips8008 cant help ya if you cant see the lie dude. But good luck.
@@AJRhinoBear would you like to explain to the class how they had the technology and/or suspended physical laws to fake the lunar landings in the late 60s? Fair warning, a movie set in Hollywood/Area 51/Cannon AFB/London does nothing to explain the bright daylight/black sky, low gravity or vacuum.
@@ArKritz84 you sound vaccinated so. Nope. Would be a complete waste of time.
@@AJRhinoBear I know it would, but not for the reasons you think it would. And if you ask your parents, you may find that you’ve been vaccinated too.
Just another clickbait title. Nothing about engineering, just a bunch of guys repeating in chorus "We are the champions, my friend-and I'm proud to have been part of it." Totally useless. Waste of time. Shame on you.
This is nothing to do with the LM cos they know showing it up close exposed it as a fake
Really? Fascinating. Despite the fact that due to the premature cancellation of the Apollo programme there are unused LMs that are exhibited and are examined together with the full schematics and technical specifications? That this together with every screw, bolt, washer and circuit has all been scrutinised in forensic levels of detail by the specialist field of aerospace engineering worldwide for the last half a century? Perhaps you, a random commenter on a video entertainment platform could point out what they missed despite having zero knowledge of the subject whatsoever?
A lot of people were fooled.
That thing wasn't built for purpose.
Well not for landing on the moon anyway lol.
@@yassassin6425 go look at them again

Righto - done that. For the benefit of anyone reading this and indeed the entire specialist branch of aerospace engineering worldwide, could you highlight these anomalies and irregularities that others not as knowledgeable as yourself have obviously missed? Thanks.
