This shows the serious, critical nature of this event, for every crew. No talking hardly at all. There is not much to say, just monitor the guidance and depend on that wonderful ascent engine to do it's job. Those of you who are familiar with the Apollo missions already realize that. The view that the crew saw during this must have been just incredible, too.
I have asked them. Basically zero, none, said Alan Bean. A few said a very faint whistling wind type noise, you can hear it on this video. Which they found odd, as there is no air at all of course. Listen again to this video and you will think you are on board. Listen to the crump noise of separation at liftoff. Very interesting.
There is a wise guy below who is trying to make fun of the crew for accidentally snagging and pulling out the electrical cables of the experiment on the surface of the moon. Try putting on a big fluffy snow suit, thick gloves, and a full face motorcycle helmet and go out onto a rocky field and pretend you are setting up a lunar experiment. And good luck on that.
Jerry Leal Jerry I have observed those people for 40+ years. In all cases, they know nothing about how space flight works nor how the Apollo missions worked. If you hold up pictures to their face they will NOT look at the pictures. Weird. All they do is repeat BS that they heard someone say. Yep !!!! One guy earlier had said that the docking approach and linkup on Apollo 14 did not look real. But I will sit here and state again that as a commercial pilot and computer engineer and parachutist..... the docking looks just as one would expect.
I've always wondered how long the rover was able to keep transmitting that TV feed. How cool it must have been to controlling that from Earth but knowing the battery would not last forever.
Duke had a thick southern drawl and a tendency to be a bit of a chatter box. Further, Duke was not cognizant enough for Young regarding getting dust on himself and in the LEM. Young's ire was frequently obvious.
Does anybody know if there were emergency procedures in the event of some kind of anomaly during the ascent? If the ascent engine were to fail or have impaired performance resulting in not reaching the optimum orbit, could be Command Module dive in and rescue the lunar module? At what point would Mission Control try to do a rescue? Or were the rendezvous orbital mechanics pretty much set in stone? And could the lunar module RCS thrusters be utilized to supplement an underperforming ascent engine, to buy some altitude and time for rescue?
Orion would have to achieve orbit to be rescued. I believe there were 32 different rendezvous/docking scenarios that could be done by the command/service module CMP to effect rescue. Could take 2 hours to 24 depending on circumstance. Luckily, that Ascent engine always worked beautifully.
They had contingencies for the CM to drop down and rendezvous as long as they got to a certain low orbit...like if the ascent engine cut out early. Michael Collins says he had 18 different plans. If they didn't make it that far or couldn't fire at all...it would have been a bad day.
Honored to meet you, guy who has never made a mistake. Since you know this happened, you also know it was an issue in training and they weren't able to solve it in time. And you also know what it was like to walk on an alien surface in a pretty inflexible and very heavy (even in 1/6 gravity) EVA suit and backpack where you really couldn't see both your boots and the ground ahead of you.
Jake Jeffery Because the audio was recorded in Mission Control, Houston. So as the report came in from the LM it was heard and recorded at the same time, as was the controller's response.

Thanks dks - in an email from Charlie Duke he said that this was exactly how he saw it that day! Made my day to hear from him.
***** Hi there - could you possibly ask Charlie Duke a question about the ascent for me? How much noise did the ascent engine make in the cabin? TIA.

dks13827 Yes, I noticed that separation noise. Thank you.
What is really cool about this vid is the panning around after the LM is gone.
The moon without humans. How it had been for the previous 4.5 billion years.

Yeah I decided to pile onto him. Just happen to be reading that part of John Young's book today.
I wonder if the moon landing naysayers have seen and then disputed that Apollo lunar liftoff video in particular. They should have some sensibility.

Amen.
I've had the exact opposite experience myself. That those following a supposed orthodoxy do not entertain information that doesn't fit the model
absolutely amazing footage !!!!
Many thanks!

What Apollo Mission Rover camera stay on the longest after lunar lift-off?
Thanks for the comment Bill - They could continue to do that until the batteries ran out.
Thanks for the comment Gary - a trait of John Young?

Very nice job with the coordination. The Orion crew wasn't talking much after liftoff, were they?
Again Dan, thanks, am not sure that its perfect but it came out pretty good!

Did they let somebody's kids play with the camera in the last 4 minutes?
+Jay Watson The video appears to have switched back to live TV feed from the rover.
Maybe a little bit preoccupied with liftoff, and tripping over the heat flow cable at ALSEP.

Was DAC a 16mm camera?
Yes it was. That ascent engine burn put a lot of heat into the cabin, too. Of course, they were suited up.
3:39 How can Housten receive the message so fast thought it took 4 seconds? :P
What, it took only 1.3 sec one way.
