They push the boundaries of special effects, and computer animation, that's for sure. As for space, the only thing they send to space is your imagination.
There's a clip I saw of a reunion years later of the Mercury astronauts where Alan Shepard talks of his father. His father never approved of his entering the military as a pilot and later NASA. After Apollo 14 his father (shortly before his death) told Alan he was wrong and he was very proud of him... you could see a tear in Shepard's eye as he told the story.
What you see at 2:27 is something very simple but at the same time very ingenious. It's an array of 3-wall mirrors. That kind of mirrors are made of 3 mutually perpendicular flat mirrors. Imagine a corner of a room where the floor and the two walls are covered with flat mirrors. Here's the cool thing: no matter the orientation of a laser beam, if it hits any one of those mirrors, then after getting reflected by the other 2, one at a time, the beam comes back exactly the same orientation as the incident beam but propagating back to the source. That's how they measured the distance to the Moon.

We get to see the exciting part, the start of an era for humanity. Space exploration will only get larger from here. We might live to see space mining, Pluto missions and maybe, but just maybe, the first prototypes of anti-matter reactors. I'm sure Mars and Moon missions will become a regular, atleast for the next 50 years or so.
What's surreal to me looking at the photos/video of Apollo sitting on the moon, is the lighting. Where the light ends, and the pitch blackness begins, is the unknown. Like if some moon "lifeforms" appeared through that darkness, how much time would the astronauts have to respond? I think space is mind altering if you allow your imagination to be free. I've come to realize that our existence on this planet is the equivalent of a trial subscription to your favorite app. Space is vast, almost endless. In fact it would take the most minor change to our solar system to eradicate us from existence. This is sooo cool to understand, yet sobering to internalize. We are insignificant in terms of our universe, however, we believe we're in control.
I remember watching the Apollo 14 Moonwalks on TV. Our Neighbour had just gotten a Colour TV, and I saw minutes of one of the walks on it before I had to go to School(Grade 6). If I had been in High School, I would have cut Classes anytime there had been a Moon Landing
Al referring to himself as “an old man” points to a fascinating fact about moon missions. Al Shepherd was the 5th person to walk on the moon, but the first not born in 1930. He was born in 1922. Armstrong, Aldrin, Pete Conrad and Alan Bean were all born in 1930 - as was Shepherd’s crew mate Ed Mitchell, who was the 6th moon walker. Five of the first six born the same year. Long odds of that.
Alan was very lucky getting his ear fixed as a lot of doctors would not operate. Was glad to read he made it to the moon and played golf., goes to show never give up on your dreams

Every time I see the Moon, Mars, earth and the space in general like the Systems , stars and more I cry because I would like to live 1000 years to see all the secretes the nature has for us 🥲 anyway go NASA and Go ARTEMIS
We get to see the exciting part, the start of an era for humanity. Space exploration will only get larger from here. We might live to see space mining, Pluto missions and maybe, but just maybe, the first prototypes of anti-matter reactors. I'm sure Mars and Moon missions will become a regular, atleast for the next 50 years or so.
Got bad news for you: Space doesn't exist. But the sky is nice to look at that. You got part of it right.
@@GM-lj8ct Ok
@@spxdes4223 Glad you agree.

What's surreal to me looking at the photos/video of Apollo sitting on the moon, is the lighting. Where the light ends, and the pitch blackness begins, is the unknown. Like if some moon "lifeforms" appeared through that darkness, how much time would the astronauts have to respond? I think space is mind altering if you allow your imagination to be free. I've come to realize that our existence on this planet is the equivalent of a trial subscription to your favorite app. Space is vast, almost endless. In fact it would take the most minor change to our solar system to eradicate us from existence. This is sooo cool to understand, yet sobering to internalize. We are insignificant in terms of our universe, however, we believe we're in control.
I remember watching the Apollo 14 Moonwalks on TV. Our Neighbour had just gotten a Colour TV, and I saw minutes of one of the walks on it before I had to go to School(Grade 6). If I had been in High School, I would have cut Classes anytime there had been a Moon Landing
👍
Al referring to himself as “an old man” points to a fascinating fact about moon missions. Al Shepherd was the 5th person to walk on the moon, but the first not born in 1930. He was born in 1922. Armstrong, Aldrin, Pete Conrad and Alan Bean were all born in 1930 - as was Shepherd’s crew mate Ed Mitchell, who was the 6th moon walker.
Five of the first six born the same year. Long odds of that.
Honestly amazing!
For some reason January is the month I watch space stuff. ☺️
We are the Artemis generation! 🌔🏹
This is amazing ❤️ Can't wait for the next Lunar landing and Mars exploration🚀🚀🚀
Thanks for sharing this video.
God bless you! NASA 🙏❤
going to space is a major sin in religion lol, learn the cult you follow
@@stika1055 What's wrong with exploring and expanding scientific knowledge?
@@stika1055 What on earth are you talking about? Is it English?
@@dylanm.3692 im all for it, but his religion is against it, but dont worry, religion is all for slavery
@@dogwalker666 if you can read then yes i spoke in English and i told him that his religion is against exploring the universe
God bless you guys; one of America’s finest moments amen
When you go back there, please . . please take a really good colour video camera and visit some of the Apollo sites. PLEASE !
They were colour cameras, the moon is monochrome!
Why go where you have already been?
Great little snippet of history.
"we dont do it cuz its easy, we do it cuz its hard" -NASA Employee
I think that’s the President. Kennedy, that is.
I think Kennedy articulated better than that.
NASA employee🤣🤣
Someone needs to tell it to Senate and NASA
You've got your people mixed up mate
Fantastic!! Congratulations NASA!! A proud for all mankind!! Fred, BH, Brasil.
I was just watching a documentary of this mission yesterday 😂
Alan was very lucky getting his ear fixed as a lot of doctors would not operate. Was glad to read he made it to the moon and played golf., goes to show never give up on your dreams
These NASA guys were the ultimate in brilliant and Cool. Thank you guys.💖
Fabulous nice to see the retro reflectors.
1971 Moon Buggy: Launching Electric Cars into space before it was cool
I wouldn't be suprised if that car couldn't drive on Earth
Yup every thing Elon musk does has already been done.
@@ImieNazwiskoOK It could but a bit under powered it only had to cope with 1/6G
@Dog Walker What about: 3 boosters landing, bellyflop, succesfully full flow staged combustion engine, comercial space, in the future biggest Rocket and also fully reusable one etc
@Dog Walker Remember that lander's legs would collapse on Earth
The day I was born was the 27th anniversary of the Apollo 14 landing.
❤️Godspeed, go NASA, go Humanity!
I hope we will have more moon mars missions in the future.
All the dislikes are from flat earthers
Lol yeah
Yeah but not every moon landing denier is a globe earth denier tho
@@egamersmk771 Those are conspiracy crackpot nutjobs who don't realize that the veracity of the moon landings does not depend on nor does it rely on their acceptance or approval.
Oh the "flatearthers" trick to try diminish those who are not dumb enough to believe that 50 yrs ago people went around the craters of the moon in an electric car. You are pathetic
@@Bibiisachildkiller You are pathetic to think that, with so much proof, you still can't believe that people walked on the Moon. Pls, study more.
3:30 legend has it, that golf ball is still orbiting the moon
*astronauts land on moon*
* they walk around*
*random ball wooshes past them*
That golf ball is probably not orbiting the moon unless Alan Shephard borrowed the rocket golf club from Mark Rober.
Dreaming.....😀
To be there...
When i read Apollo 14 my brain immediatly got flashbacks from apollo 13
Space is love and lust for exploration of the universe . 🌌😇♾️
Goosebumps!!!! anyone????
I can imagine the trepidation the apollo 14 crew must have had knowing the perilous journey of apollo 13.... brave brave men... 👏
Its styled like a 1970 - 1980 presentation as well
good one
I want to thank nasa for giving me a way in life, because of them I know what I want to do
Like if you agree!
If I ever step foot on Moon, I am not coming back.
Oh I would change my mind about that in a few days there!
Wow. Can’t wait for Artemis!!
Μπράβο παλικάρια, άντε και ξανά με κύρος και φιλοδοξία.
