Question Mr. Cain Do you enjoy thinking over unanswerable questions, you know, mulling over things, along the lines of Einstein thought experiments ? I'm asking to figure out if posting 1 of my questions is worth the time.
I just want to be the cameraman who is always secretly at a distance filming the moon landings lol! The cameraman always gets to the moon first! 😂😂😂😂🤳🌕🚀
I have the same experience. With all the war, politics, societal problems, etc. It's nice to zoom out into space where those problems are so small and distant.
Being born in 1958, I remember when Venus was just a very bright shiny disk where we had no real idea of it's surface or even cloud texture, before Arecibo took it's 1st radar images of the planet (I don't remember if we knew it was extremely hot yet). I remember when we didn't know Mars more resembled the Moon then Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars (and how disappointed I was seeing all the Martin craters). I also remember Apollo 8 and how much closer the Moon felt to me once astronauts came so close to it and then listening on the car radio parked in a driveway on a summer afternoon as Apollo 11 landed on the surface not knowing how thick the dust was, then staying up well pass my bedtime to see Neil Armstrong take the first steps on the Moon (I admit, the picture was so grainy it took me several minutes to figure up what I was seeing). I remember the launch of Voyager I and II just as I was entering Cornell and my impatience with how long it would take them to arrive at Jupiter. When they arrived, a friend who worked for the professor processing the first Jupiter images said the professor snuck in a picture of a large marble he had into the mix. I never heard of any anomalous photos in the collection so that story was probably made up ;). I remember in 4th grade wondering about the complementary shapes of Africa and South America just before the theory of plate tectonics started to circulate. The first volcano images of Io. The braiding of some Saturn rings. The release of Star Wars. Thinking I couldn't be an astronomer because I hadn't built my own telescope by my 12th birthday. Being very disappointed by the return of Halley's comet in 1986. My grandfather was born in 1906 and 60 years later still remembered seeing it in 1910. I can only imagine how impressive it must have been in light pollution free night skies of rural Maine. The surprise at seeing the impact of the pieces of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 hitting Jupiter (it had followed a series of overhyped astronomical events so those images were a very happy surprise). The introduction of the theory that a meteor wiped out the dinosaurs (I was VERY skeptical ;) but I have to say, none of all that matched the pace of discovery and technical advances we've seen since the launch of Hubble (actually since they fixed its imaging problem in 1993/4) and now JWST. Breath taking advances in photograph, medicine, and computing power are so very unbelievable. Just look at the arc of the life time of documentaries done by David Attenborough to get a sense of what's become possible and how far we've come. Our mental image of Pluto before and after New Horizons for example. We far too often fail to appreciate or get distracted from the wonder of the time we live in right now.

Yes, I remember watching the Apollo 11 landing with my father. Also pre and post Apollo 11 missions that were televised. He passed in 2018 and inspired my lifelong interests in astronomy and space exploration.
Apollo 8. People who weren't around at the time don't realise that 8 was treated with the same awe as 11. They can't grasp just how stunning the "Earthrise" photograph was to the whole world. A far greater effect on the street than Sagan's Pale Blue Dot.
I think it's pretty clear that we're in a new Moon race that nobody (at least the public) saw coming. Apollo was getting a man on the Moon. Now, it's can you build a base on the Moon.
"Due to complications with Odysseus internal navigation system the decision was made to power down the EagleCam during landing and not deploy the device during Odysseus final descent." Now they have made a big mistake imo.
And they expect us to believe that man landed, ran around drove vehicles, and partied on the moon in 1969 . With 8 track tape technology. Then come back. Uhh ok right
@@FeverDreamRemix idiot. Have you not heard of external mounted cameras, I install and service external CCTV cameras as a job and , in fact, most places have externally mounted cameras catching everyone who enters, leaves, and even passes by the entrances. Do you think that they have someone standing outside with a camera filming this? Or do you think that electronic cameras only existed in the last few years? Even in the 1960s electronic tv cameras existed having been invented in the 1920s and used in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. And NASA being at the leading edge of technology with a very large budget at the time would have not only had the best available but commission the smallest, lightest version possible. This led to the creation of domestic video cam borders that came out in the 70s. They even, shock, horror were able to remotely operate cameras from earth, thus filming of the launch of Apollo 17’s lander from the Luna Rover just 3 years later. But then again, you seem to be so consumed in a fever dream you wouldn’t recognise reality and just construct your own to hide from whatever you refuse to cope with.
I remember the moon landings quite well! was in my freshman year of High School (9th grade). Watching Neal Armstrong take the First step on the Moon was so exciting! Am still excited to see us still exploring!
I was 15 years old when the Apollo 11 Astronauts first landed on the moon. It's been a long time coming, but it's great to see them attempting it all over again. And it really is great to see people like you explaining all of the background information concerned with these incredible missions. Thanks so much and keep up your amazing work.
Soooo.. we still don’t have any photos/video or confirmation that the lander is upright and functional… the only thing we have is a confirmation signal that it’s able to connect to earths instruments. It could be laying on its side or terribly damaged but still able to receive a signal. Is there an appropriate timeline before we can say it landed as intended or is a failure? I know nobody wants that, I certainly don’t. But I am just curious. If it’s a day? Two days? A week and we get no pictures or videos..?
There was a press conference earlier. It landed OK but they think a landing leg snagged on a rock and it tipped onto its side causing comms problems. The experiments should still be successful and hopefully images will be taken over the weekend from EagleCam.
@@tonywells6990it is worth noting that it snagging on a rock is not yet confirmed and should not be taken as the end all be all. As they said, it could have been caused by the slope itself or damage to the leg earlier. They didn't mention it, but it could have also been caused by the shifting of the surface where they hit one weaker spot in the soil causing a tilt.
I was 12 years old when the 1st moon landing took place. It was the most excitment I'd felt since the Beatles played the Ed Sullivan show in 1964. Neil Armstrong was such an incredible role model. I am still, all these years later, an avid followerer of the space program. Thanks to your fantastic work it is easier to follow today than ever before!
@@Michael-zq4mo I love you reality-deniers, I really do. You are the best entertainment available, now that trump is out of office.

very well informative and to the point. I love this channel and going to subscribe. you make it easy to understand with the wealth of information you have. Keep up the excellent informative tools to help us stay informed.
The Eagle cam was never deployed and isn't yet. It was disabled when they did the reboot. I had a bad feeling since they were not releasing images. Probably they were very busy and didn't think to say: "hey guys, we haven't yet launched the eagle cam" everything is "nominal". JTBC the module being sideways, seem to have nothing to do with the eagle cam not deploying YET.
We were all sent home from school the day of the 1st moon landing, the headmaster said there would never again be an opportunity to see the first ever landing of man on the moon as it happened. We were lucky enough to have television making that possible.
I can only compare that to Elvis’s last performance or Evel Knievel’s live jumps. Let’s hope we never learn the landing was a hoax. That would be shattering for any age
huh? july 20 1969 was a sunday. you went to school on sundays? i remember it well because we were up in yosemite camping and a guy had a generator in the campground running to power his tv
@@gregh7457 I'm guessing it might have something to do with the fact that I'm on the side of the world ahead of the US 🙂, it was 6:17am on Monday the 21st here. I could say one of us got it wrong, but due to the marvels of geographic time we're both right. 🙂
BTW, I have a great deal of respect for the skill you have in remembering or knowing (as the case may be) that it was a Sunday. I was a young teen at the time living in a small country town with a lot distractions so I only remember the circumstances, not the details. I even had to look up the time to have it in context. It was quite the technical achievement to have something that was happening on the moon broadcast to nearly every corner (on a sphere? Sorry) of the globe so far back. Also, the nature of my response was a result of my flavour of humour, always seeing the lighter side of life.
Thank you for all you do. You are a master storyteller and can condense material into edible chunks like none other. I wish there was content like this all over RUclips instead of the clickbait and monetary filler that abounds here.
I do remember the early years of space exploration. I was just a first grade student at t university(more on that shortly...) but was fortunate enough to be fairly close to NASA's base in Texas, and like so many of us the Old Man was just as interested, so we went to see the first boosters that were being displayed. The Atlas rocket was Huge! But of course I was still quite young, and small. I've been avidly following the evolution of our efforts both great and tragic ever since. My family was living in College Station Texas at that time while my father was going to Texas A&M working on his masters in agronomy. That's where I started going to school. There is no. Board of Education in that town, just A&M. I need to replace my school tye, I lost t last one over 5 years ago. Keep up t good work.
I remember sitting in my Parents' living room, eating a big bowl of Mom's home-made spaghetti, and watching as Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon. I was mesmerized! Now, I just hope that I live long enough to see Man step on Mars.
Yeah, the older I get the bigger the grain of salt I have to take for the phrase, "In our lifetime". It's a little bitter sweet thinking I might miss out on what will be seen in the 10 or 20+ years but the important thing is to go and explore. I hope my kids and grandkids appreciate what's coming when they get to see it. I hope to I can still point it out to them too, of course ;)
@@gregallen485 Bittersweet, indeed. I lost my only child, and have no one to pass my Legacy to. I fully expected to be a Grampa by now. But I do have a Pep of a Pup!
@@otpyrcralphpierre1742 ugh. It never sounds adequate but I'm very sorry for your loss. My kid arrived late and seems in no more in a hurry to form a family than I was so we'll just have to save our space envy for humanity's next generation or three and be as careful as we can to not screw things up for them (and dogs) here on Earth.
Lolz my mum and dad sat me up in my cot to watch Apollo 11. I have no memory but they said "for the rest of your life you can tell people you saw that as it happened". 😂❤
I just watched a NASA briefing that suggested Odysseus might be on its side. Tipped over. Hasn't deployed the selfie stick yet. Plan is to do it later to get a good view of lander from the ground. I would not call this a complete failure. Maybe a 10% fail??
@@frasercainI mean, according to the directors, they said all their vital instrument are on the other side, so it should be fine. The fact that they have communication and will be able to see around the craft is vital information for the future.
So just before landing , a camera shoots out from a side of the craft and lands precisely , without damage , in a position that is capable of filming the whole landing operation. OK , whatever they say.
Dude super sick landing, my buddy that works over at IM brought me over to the landing, what an amazing experience man! Such a huge moment! Can’t wait for my mission! Orion is going to be sick man!
We went to a friend's house to watch the 1st moon landing because they had one of those new fangled semi-round screen COLOR TV's and all we had at the time was Black & White. Very exciting
3:53 Odysseus!? Really? The most shrewd and resourceful of all the Greek Kings? Son of Sisyfos? The guy that only wanted the girl, but instead ended up outside the walls of Troy, for 10 years? And was struggling for 10 more years to get home to his wife, surrounded by men wanting to marry her? That Odysseus?
Same🤣 But at least, when he came back from his epic detour, he got a lot of batshit crazy stories to tell😏 This rerouted experiment is basically an amuse-gueule😁
@@guyanaspice6730 - not really, only, Odysseus did not want to travel, fighting while away and was struggling to get home, plus, the son of a thief, rapist and a murderer
Since you asked... I remember 1969 and my parents waking us all up in (what seemed like) the middle of the night, and telling me and my sisters that people had landed on the moon. I have nothing except brief black and white images in my brain. I was only 8 years old, but I could tell that it was pretty momentous. My parents said "You'll remember this your whole life," and what do you know-- that is one of the few existing memories of my childhood.
Hi Fraser, I;m wondering if it is actually better to have moon missions tip over? Imagine a horizontal freight starship, rather than a vertical one, it wouldn’t it be much more accessible to astronauts on the surface?
Hi Fraser, I'm not sure if this question has been asked here, but considering the lunar regolith has been known to be found to be a good material to manufacture glass, would the silicates on the surface be capable of producing good glass for fibre-optic cables, and if so, would the 1/6 gravity environment on the moon contribute even more so to the quality of the fibre?
With all our technology in 2024 we struggle to put a lander on the moon the right way up yet in 1969 with the computing power of a household kettle we apparently put men there in a tin can lol.
Yes i did watch the lunar landings. It was a great time of global unity, all of mankind realising what we are capable of. We all huddled around primative tv sets and radios and at night, looked up at the moon knowing we had visited.
It's apparently kind of reclining on the surface. Also, Eagle cam didn't get ejected yet, which is good. They hope to eject it soon and get some good shots of the crafts current situation.
WELL...Apparently operating Joystick INSIDE the Capsule Over the MOON Surface Is More PRACTICAL Then Seating Inside Command CENTER on EARTH Watching the Capsule Descending On the SCREEN And Operation the JOYSTICK!!!!?? 😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😅😊❤ And It Still TIPPED OVER!!! WHAT A Shame....Disturbing DETAIL(!) The Lander/Capsule is 14feet TALL!!! And have 6 Legs......😢😢😢 IT Didn't Help....
It seems that they cannot afford to affix a dang Gopro to the craft and record the entire event. Next time they may borrow mine. Bought it off Ebay for under $100
100% agree about the IM-1 presentation quality! I remember it wasn't long ago that EVERY NASA presentation had scuffed audio or bad real time direction. We even had a meme about NASA technical difficulties bingo. NASA did great and the Intuitive Machines folks were absolutely incredible with how much they shared and how they shared it. Also have to mention how cool that circular mission control with the curved monitors was. Right up there with Rocket Lab's pristine black mission control that looks more like a recording studio than a space ops center.
I have wondered this for decades too. The only thing I can think of is that an arm and dust would scratch the glass covering the solar panels or static electricity would keep the dust on the glass.
Landing on monno is tricky? What do we make of the moonladning in 1969 with asronouts and then returning back to Earth then? That looked very easy more tha half a centrury ago!
54 years after an 11 hour live broadcast... and we have to wait till this weekend to "hopefully get a picture" (he literally said "a picture" in their press conference Friday (the day after landing). I guess despite all the amazing leaps and bounds advances in communication and image rendering and compression, we no longer can transmit live. Is this considered a "success"? I guess considering it was un(huMANned) it's a small step for humAinKind.
Hear me out here, maybe it is because the location they went to is in a much more difficult location to receive signal from. Y'all keep forgetting this fact. We were able to get a live feed from Apollo because we had a direct line of sight with them. We can't get a live feed from the South Pole because it is much more difficult to line up communications. Not to mention, the guy literally said that the team is all exhausted and they are giving them rest over the weekend. It is going to take time.
@@troybaxter heard. And I watch a lecture from months ago, they said the reason for the South Pole was because this design, resulting in a much longer orbit (rather elliptical) to land. South Pole for the specs. Still... could have been live streaming the entire trip. Solar.
@@AnotherScreenname they actually couldn't stream the entire trip because the lander would go behind the moon for brief periods of time (~27 minutes). They also brought up the point that they knowingly lost communication when the lander stopped and orientated itself to land vertically. At that point they wouldn't have had time to reestablish that connection until after it landed.
@@chistinelane I think it must be the Dunning Kruger Effect. I have acquaintances whom I know are unable to balance their checkbooks or even get themselves to work on time, yet they are snickering because the lander “fell over the moon”.
The little camera bot did not happen, it was not spat out seconds before landing due to the quick patch landing software update, they plan to spit the cam bot out when they get better coms with the lander, 👍
YES.... Because APPARENTLY, no one can make a telescope that can see any of the 6 locations they CLAIM they landed at. And, ALL 6 times they landed on the moon...... "OOPS, left the camera that can take pictures of stars from the surface of the moon at home..... too bad, so sad."
I used to live in Houston and got to visit NASA there. They had an example of the moon lander the astronauts used. And honest, the shell of the craft was like a combo of mylar and aluminum foil. Maybe just Aluminum foil. Literally just a few mm thick. The astronauts though kept their space suits on the entire time. I guess if you are not worried about creating an atmosphere to breath it doesn't take much at all to keep "space" out of your craft. Crazy. lol
Eagle Eye was not deployed. Also, the laser range finder did not really fail. They just forgot to remove the "remove before flight" tag which prevented it from turning on by accident on the ground.
im confused.... I heard that the new glenn rocket that we saw was not designed for flight? can you confirm that the rocket we saw is intended for flight or just testing??
It's a small private company that built their own lander and successfully landed it, although it tipped over. It's not like they spent $100 billion on it.
@@donmoore7785plus, to add on to your comment, Apollo 11 only succeeded because Armstrong took control. If I recall correctly they were likely going to crash.
@@donmoore7785There were successful unmanned landings in the sixties as well though. I think one lander even brought back samples. The sheer amount of money invested in those days probably made all the difference.
It's utterly astounding that in 2024, we're deploying drones so cumbersome they can't even maintain an upright position, equipped with cameras boasting resolution poorer than a potato. Contrast this with the extraordinary achievements of the late 1960s and early 1970s when we sent the most advanced beings ever to grace our planet to the moon. These intrepid humans traversed the lunar landscape in a buggy, kicking up colossal rooster tails of dust into the moon's atmosphere. After their lunar exploration, they re-boarded their craft, which then rendezvoused with a larger spacecraft for the journey back to Earth. There's a glaring disparity here. Something has clearly veered off course. It's a discrepancy begging for resolution.
We - humanity - are doing so many incredible, awesome things in space these days it ALMOST gives me hope for the future. I really would like to live out my old age in space. Once my bones really start creakin I'd like to go up there and not come back down.

and Armstrong was able to land only watching through a tiny window!😁
I remember watching Sputnik transiting the night sky with my Grandfather standing next to me on his back porch in Valier, Montana. We were amazed.
@@Ezekiel903Still better than a modern computer apparently! Can’t beat actual pilots.

Apollo 8. People who weren't around at the time don't realise that 8 was treated with the same awe as 11.
They can't grasp just how stunning the "Earthrise" photograph was to the whole world. A far greater effect on the street than Sagan's Pale Blue Dot.
I think it's pretty clear that we're in a new Moon race that nobody (at least the public) saw coming. Apollo was getting a man on the Moon. Now, it's can you build a base on the Moon.
"Due to complications with Odysseus internal navigation system the decision was made to power down the EagleCam during landing and not deploy the device during Odysseus final descent."
Now they have made a big mistake imo.
I agree, it would've been historic.
All kinds of pics from take off, to separation, cool pics of earth, but interestingly NONE from the Landing. Apollo managed it.🤔🤔
Now people have another moon landing to say was fake.
I like that it’s in a totally different place
@@geedubb-q1u Apollo had people, and a BIGGER budget.
@friendlyone2706 Odysseus has better cameras what scares them from us viewing it live
Its wild ..52 years after we sent people to the moon and this is like a big deal finally getting something unmaned back there , what happened
We never walked on the moon then and they continue to lie about it.
Thanks a bunch for the news, Fraser! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
And they expect us to believe that man landed, ran around drove vehicles, and partied on the moon in 1969 . With 8 track tape technology. Then come back. Uhh ok right
But most people do believe that, only a very few truly question it, and those who do just get ridiculed and labeled conspiracy theorists.
Yes, I watched the moon landings as a kid. It helped inspire me to become an engineer.
You were watching a tv show. I'm glad it inspired you though.
Who was on the moon filming the landing?
@@FeverDreamRemix Those pesky details.
@@FeverDreamRemix idiot. Have you not heard of external mounted cameras, I install and service external CCTV cameras as a job and , in fact, most places have externally mounted cameras catching everyone who enters, leaves, and even passes by the entrances. Do you think that they have someone standing outside with a camera filming this?
Or do you think that electronic cameras only existed in the last few years? Even in the 1960s electronic tv cameras existed having been invented in the 1920s and used in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games.
And NASA being at the leading edge of technology with a very large budget at the time would have not only had the best available but commission the smallest, lightest version possible. This led to the creation of domestic video cam borders that came out in the 70s.
They even, shock, horror were able to remotely operate cameras from earth, thus filming of the launch of Apollo 17’s lander from the Luna Rover just 3 years later.
But then again, you seem to be so consumed in a fever dream you wouldn’t recognise reality and just construct your own to hide from whatever you refuse to cope with.
Nobody, and there is nobody on the Moon@@FeverDreamRemix
2024 and they can't do what they did 50 years ago lol
Nomore Mr Kubrick, nomore moon landing😂😂
I remember the moon landings quite well! was in my freshman year of High School (9th grade). Watching Neal Armstrong take the First step on the Moon was so exciting! Am still excited to see us still exploring!
It's so refreshing to watch and hear a real live person speaking rather than an AI irritating voices
I was 15 years old when the Apollo 11 Astronauts first landed on the moon. It's been a long time coming, but it's great to see them attempting it all over again. And it really is great to see people like you explaining all of the background information concerned with these incredible missions. Thanks so much and keep up your amazing work.
Wow! A space channel that mentions all that is promised in the title. Not click bait and actually informative.
Soooo.. we still don’t have any photos/video or confirmation that the lander is upright and functional… the only thing we have is a confirmation signal that it’s able to connect to earths instruments. It could be laying on its side or terribly damaged but still able to receive a signal. Is there an appropriate timeline before we can say it landed as intended or is a failure? I know nobody wants that, I certainly don’t. But I am just curious. If it’s a day? Two days? A week and we get no pictures or videos..?
Right We get almost real time video landing on Mars but for the moon all they have a comms link?
There was a press conference earlier. It landed OK but they think a landing leg snagged on a rock and it tipped onto its side causing comms problems. The experiments should still be successful and hopefully images will be taken over the weekend from EagleCam.
@@tonywells6990it is worth noting that it snagging on a rock is not yet confirmed and should not be taken as the end all be all. As they said, it could have been caused by the slope itself or damage to the leg earlier. They didn't mention it, but it could have also been caused by the shifting of the surface where they hit one weaker spot in the soil causing a tilt.
It is curious, because there was a selfie cam that got ejected to take pics of the landing.
@@swapshots4427They powered it down due to complications. It hasn't been deployed yet, but they are planning to release it.
I was 12 years old when the 1st moon landing took place. It was the most excitment I'd felt since the Beatles played the Ed Sullivan show in 1964. Neil Armstrong was such an incredible role model. I am still, all these years later, an avid followerer of the space program. Thanks to your fantastic work it is easier to follow today than ever before!
Oh to see both moon landings. Ya lucky, you’ve got to witness almost the entire history of spaceflight, it’s rise, fall, and rise again

I don't know what that is.
very well informative and to the point. I love this channel and going to subscribe. you make it easy to understand with the wealth of information you have. Keep up the excellent informative tools to help us stay informed.
The Eagle cam was never deployed and isn't yet. It was disabled when they did the reboot. I had a bad feeling since they were not releasing images. Probably they were very busy and didn't think to say: "hey guys, we haven't yet launched the eagle cam" everything is "nominal". JTBC the module being sideways, seem to have nothing to do with the eagle cam not deploying YET.
We were all sent home from school the day of the 1st moon landing, the headmaster said there would never again be an opportunity to see the first ever landing of man on the moon as it happened. We were lucky enough to have television making that possible.
I can only compare that to Elvis’s last performance or Evel Knievel’s live jumps. Let’s hope we never learn the landing was a hoax. That would be shattering for any age
huh? july 20 1969 was a sunday. you went to school on sundays? i remember it well because we were up in yosemite camping and a guy had a generator in the campground running to power his tv
@@gregh7457 I'm guessing it might have something to do with the fact that I'm on the side of the world ahead of the US 🙂, it was 6:17am on Monday the 21st here. I could say one of us got it wrong, but due to the marvels of geographic time we're both right. 🙂
😂👍
BTW, I have a great deal of respect for the skill you have in remembering or knowing (as the case may be) that it was a Sunday. I was a young teen at the time living in a small country town with a lot distractions so I only remember the circumstances, not the details. I even had to look up the time to have it in context. It was quite the technical achievement to have something that was happening on the moon broadcast to nearly every corner (on a sphere? Sorry) of the globe so far back. Also, the nature of my response was a result of my flavour of humour, always seeing the lighter side of life.
Oh boy, love this program... Awesome thanks.
Thank you for all you do. You are a master storyteller and can condense material into edible chunks like none other.
I wish there was content like this all over RUclips instead of the clickbait and monetary filler that abounds here.
I do remember the early years of space exploration. I was just a first grade student at t university(more on that shortly...) but was fortunate enough to be fairly close to NASA's base in Texas, and like so many of us the Old Man was just as interested, so we went to see the first boosters that were being displayed. The Atlas rocket was Huge! But of course I was still quite young, and small. I've been avidly following the evolution of our efforts both great and tragic ever since. My family was living in College Station Texas at that time while my father was going to Texas A&M working on his masters in agronomy. That's where I started going to school. There is no. Board of Education in that town, just A&M. I need to replace my school tye, I lost t last one over 5 years ago. Keep up t good work.
I love the way you explain, short and understandable to me. Thank you.
I remember sitting in my Parents' living room, eating a big bowl of Mom's home-made spaghetti, and watching
as Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon. I was mesmerized!
Now, I just hope that I live long enough to see Man step on Mars.
You saw the film shooting of Neil Armstrong in Area 51. Your President lied!
Yeah, the older I get the bigger the grain of salt I have to take for the phrase, "In our lifetime". It's a little bitter sweet thinking I might miss out on what will be seen in the 10 or 20+ years but the important thing is to go and explore.
I hope my kids and grandkids appreciate what's coming when they get to see it. I hope to I can still point it out to them too, of course ;)

I just watched a NASA briefing that suggested Odysseus might be on its side. Tipped over. Hasn't deployed the selfie stick yet. Plan is to do it later to get a good view of lander from the ground. I would not call this a complete failure. Maybe a 10% fail??
Yikes, after SLIM, this isn't good.
@@frasercain BTW, just discovered your channel and I am really enjoying it. Subscribed!!
@@frasercainI mean, according to the directors, they said all their vital instrument are on the other side, so it should be fine. The fact that they have communication and will be able to see around the craft is vital information for the future.
So just before landing , a camera shoots out from a side of the craft and lands precisely , without damage , in a position that is capable of filming the whole landing operation. OK , whatever they say.
This was a good episode. Lots of interesting stuff happening out there.
I have a photo of my oldest son (about 2 at the time), lying on the floor and watching the Apollo 11 moon landing on our TV.
Who was on the moon filming their landing? 😂
@@FeverDreamRemix
Get a clue!
@@CNCmachiningisfun Obviously he has a clue and that is why he questioned it with a logical approach.
I have a photo of myself watching the flintstones back then. That is about as real as any moon landing that never happened.

Can you actually DISPROVE the moon landings?
Dude super sick landing, my buddy that works over at IM brought me over to the landing, what an amazing experience man! Such a huge moment! Can’t wait for my mission! Orion is going to be sick man!
this science fiction is getting interesting.
hope they can really step up their cgi game!😁
We went to a friend's house to watch the 1st moon landing because they had one of those new fangled semi-round screen COLOR TV's and all we had at the time was Black & White. Very exciting
colour TV would not have been much use since the live coverage from the Moon was in Black and white.
3:53 Odysseus!? Really? The most shrewd and resourceful of all the Greek Kings? Son of Sisyfos? The guy that only wanted the girl, but instead ended up outside the walls of Troy, for 10 years? And was struggling for 10 more years to get home to his wife, surrounded by men wanting to marry her? That Odysseus?

I can’t wait to see video of the landing and tip over that should be cool to see !
It’s in post production- should hit Netflix in 3 or so months
You will be waiting a looooong time. Cameras are unaffordable, apparently. Next time they may borrow my Gopro.
Since you asked... I remember 1969 and my parents waking us all up in (what seemed like) the middle of the night, and telling me and my sisters that people had landed on the moon. I have nothing except brief black and white images in my brain. I was only 8 years old, but I could tell that it was pretty momentous. My parents said "You'll remember this your whole life," and what do you know-- that is one of the few existing memories of my childhood.
Ha, ha, the Rowan Atkinson clips were perfect! Glad they at least got some images back later.
Hi Fraser, I;m wondering if it is actually better to have moon missions tip over?
Imagine a horizontal freight starship, rather than a vertical one, it wouldn’t it be much more accessible to astronauts on the surface?
Great video...very informative on things i have been following
Hi Fraser, I'm not sure if this question has been asked here, but considering the lunar regolith has been known to be found to be a good material to manufacture glass, would the silicates on the surface be capable of producing good glass for fibre-optic cables, and if so, would the 1/6 gravity environment on the moon contribute even more so to the quality of the fibre?
Watching 👀 Now Thnx 4 answering my question about moon landing info.
Much Appreciation Gratitude & Respect Thnx so Much ❤
Look carefully. You can see the cow jumping over the moon 😂
With all our technology in 2024 we struggle to put a lander on the moon the right way up yet in 1969 with the computing power of a household kettle we apparently put men there in a tin can lol.
They played golf and drove a jeep around on the moon 50 years ago. How?
Yes i did watch the lunar landings. It was a great time of global unity, all of mankind realising what we are capable of. We all huddled around primative tv sets and radios and at night, looked up at the moon knowing we had visited.
1969 -I ran home from School to Watcth the 1 st !! around 3.30 pm NZ time !
I just happened to pause right at Heisenberg.🤣
I was glued to the tv in July 1969. We were in the middle of moving to a new house and I asked my parents not to move the tv until after the landing.
Now, 50 years after not TV...
Notice how all the space travel deniers here have totally EMPTY YT channels?
I pity them, and their ilk!
Quite funny to see the science people crawling across the floor in their clean room outfit while Fraser just shouted on
duuuuuuuust :0)
It's apparently kind of reclining on the surface. Also, Eagle cam didn't get ejected yet, which is good. They hope to eject it soon and get some good shots of the crafts current situation.
I suppose it was a lot easier to land on the moon in a movie set. If we can't do it with modern technology, explain how 1960s tech could pull it off?
WELL...Apparently operating Joystick INSIDE the Capsule Over the MOON Surface Is More PRACTICAL Then Seating Inside Command CENTER on EARTH Watching the Capsule Descending On the SCREEN And Operation the JOYSTICK!!!!??
😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😅😊❤
And It Still TIPPED OVER!!! WHAT A Shame....Disturbing DETAIL(!) The Lander/Capsule is 14feet TALL!!!
And have 6 Legs......😢😢😢 IT Didn't Help....
I'd like to apply for the selfie stick job on the next mission... 🙃
I watched the landing in the Moonwalkin 1969 live!
It seems that they cannot afford to affix a dang Gopro to the craft and record the entire event. Next time they may borrow mine. Bought it off Ebay for under $100
My Dad woke me at what must have been for me about 03:00 our time for that moon walk after staying up for the landing. I was 9 at the time.
You Dad was 'woke' in 1969, truly ahead of his time.
20:11 The spirit of Carl Sagan approves of Euclid!
100% agree about the IM-1 presentation quality! I remember it wasn't long ago that EVERY NASA presentation had scuffed audio or bad real time direction. We even had a meme about NASA technical difficulties bingo. NASA did great and the Intuitive Machines folks were absolutely incredible with how much they shared and how they shared it. Also have to mention how cool that circular mission control with the curved monitors was. Right up there with Rocket Lab's pristine black mission control that looks more like a recording studio than a space ops center.
That thumbnail had me laughing! 😂😂😂
Failure after failure and we are suppose to believe humans landed on the moon 50yrs ago?
I'm laughing already
Why doesn't the rover have a little cleaner/sweeper arm just for cleaning the dust from problem areas?
I have wondered this for decades too. The only thing I can think of is that an arm and dust would scratch the glass covering the solar panels or static electricity would keep the dust on the glass.
Landing on monno is tricky? What do we make of the moonladning in 1969 with asronouts and then returning back to Earth then? That looked very easy more tha half a centrury ago!
Nice, new glenn look so clean
54 years after an 11 hour live broadcast... and we have to wait till this weekend to "hopefully get a picture" (he literally said "a picture" in their press conference Friday (the day after landing). I guess despite all the amazing leaps and bounds advances in communication and image rendering and compression, we no longer can transmit live. Is this considered a "success"? I guess considering it was un(huMANned) it's a small step for humAinKind.
Hear me out here, maybe it is because the location they went to is in a much more difficult location to receive signal from. Y'all keep forgetting this fact. We were able to get a live feed from Apollo because we had a direct line of sight with them. We can't get a live feed from the South Pole because it is much more difficult to line up communications. Not to mention, the guy literally said that the team is all exhausted and they are giving them rest over the weekend. It is going to take time.
@@troybaxter heard. And I watch a lecture from months ago, they said the reason for the South Pole was because this design, resulting in a much longer orbit (rather elliptical) to land. South Pole for the specs. Still... could have been live streaming the entire trip. Solar.
@@AnotherScreenname they actually couldn't stream the entire trip because the lander would go behind the moon for brief periods of time (~27 minutes). They also brought up the point that they knowingly lost communication when the lander stopped and orientated itself to land vertically. At that point they wouldn't have had time to reestablish that connection until after it landed.
Where do people get the idea that space travel is this super easy thing?
@@chistinelane I think it must be the Dunning Kruger Effect. I have acquaintances whom I know are unable to balance their checkbooks or even get themselves to work on time, yet they are snickering because the lander “fell over the moon”.
Just found you, love your stuff, and as a HUGE Frasier fan, I’m loving the name.
I had the name first. 😀
So why are we not seeing the video and just the cgi again.
you know why.....🚀🤪
The little camera bot did not happen, it was not spat out seconds before landing due to the quick patch landing software update, they plan to spit the cam bot out when they get better coms with the lander, 👍
Always enjoy watching.
I was watching the landing on the Moon.
They should land next to previous NASA landings confirming USA was there.
YES.... Because APPARENTLY, no one can make a telescope that can see any of the 6 locations they CLAIM they landed at.
And, ALL 6 times they landed on the moon...... "OOPS, left the camera that can take pictures of stars from the surface of the moon at home..... too bad, so sad."
Is it possible to use the lander engine to keep the lander warm enough to survive the lunar night?
I used to live in Houston and got to visit NASA there. They had an example of the moon lander the astronauts used. And honest, the shell of the craft was like a combo of mylar and aluminum foil. Maybe just Aluminum foil. Literally just a few mm thick. The astronauts though kept their space suits on the entire time. I guess if you are not worried about creating an atmosphere to breath it doesn't take much at all to keep "space" out of your craft. Crazy. lol
Why is every story about this different? Is it ok ? did the camera eject ? Is it filming ? is it on its side ?
Eagle Eye was not deployed. Also, the laser range finder did not really fail. They just forgot to remove the "remove before flight" tag which prevented it from turning on by accident on the ground.
Where are the pictures from the landing!? I don't believe anything before I see them
The China lander be touchin' down on the dark side of the moon like a total boss :)
Fell on its side and safety resting on a smaller blue lander.
I'll believe that when I see it...
im confused.... I heard that the new glenn rocket that we saw was not designed for flight? can you confirm that the rocket we saw is intended for flight or just testing??
It doesn't have any engines. I'm not sure if this version will actually get engines attached to fly or it's just for testing.
thank you so much...great update@@frasercain
had just discovered your channel and I am more than glad I did
Crazy how those guys nailed it 50 years ago, but today it's a 50/50. They just got lucky I guess.
Huge difference. Manned vs. unmanned. Neil steered the lander.
It's a small private company that built their own lander and successfully landed it, although it tipped over. It's not like they spent $100 billion on it.
@@donmoore7785plus, to add on to your comment, Apollo 11 only succeeded because Armstrong took control. If I recall correctly they were likely going to crash.
Piloted landings for the most part.
@@donmoore7785There were successful unmanned landings in the sixties as well though. I think one lander even brought back samples. The sheer amount of money invested in those days probably made all the difference.
really great and informative video, thank you!🙏🏻
It's utterly astounding that in 2024, we're deploying drones so cumbersome they can't even maintain an upright position, equipped with cameras boasting resolution poorer than a potato. Contrast this with the extraordinary achievements of the late 1960s and early 1970s when we sent the most advanced beings ever to grace our planet to the moon. These intrepid humans traversed the lunar landscape in a buggy, kicking up colossal rooster tails of dust into the moon's atmosphere. After their lunar exploration, they re-boarded their craft, which then rendezvoused with a larger spacecraft for the journey back to Earth. There's a glaring disparity here. Something has clearly veered off course. It's a discrepancy begging for resolution.
I was 8 yrs old I watched the July 69 moon landing on a small B&W TV with the whole family!
Can anybody give me a link to some actual video footage of it landing on the moon or anything like that
They don't have it yet but will hopefully get it over the weekend.
It didn't happen
Good luck finding any real footage or real photos of the moon or earth from space. They're all fakes.
