- Опубликовано: 6 ноя 2023
- Harrison Schmitt may be the only person without a military aviation background to walk on the moon, but he served his country (and humanity as a whole) as a scientist, explorer, and inspiration to countless individuals back here on planet Earth. It was an honor to sit down and speak with him, and we hope his story continues to inspire future generations to push further into space than before.

What an amazing man and what a life! He's now 88 years old....still sharp as a razor. Thats what clean living and remaining intellectually engaged will get you.......a healthy, active and stimulating later years. This man is a great Role Model....and this is the kind of Role Model our kids _NEED_ so sooooo desperately these days....not brain dead 'musicians' or overly wealthy trust fund brats or brain addled actors or drug riddled athletes.....we need men like this.... real role models. Most people would be more than content having achieved only ⅛ of what this man achieved by the time he reached his 30s.
I so do hope that we get back to the Moon.....and permanently as well. Even if its for no other reason than needing to have a properly established and entrenched presence there ....before China does. If the West doesn't, China most certainly will!
But I also hope we go back to the Moon permanently as well as get out to the resources of the Asteroid Belt, using any means necessary.....even if it ends up being some lunatic Billionaire that gets us all there. I really wanna see a sunrise on the surface of the Moon or look out at the Milky Way from the surface of an asteroid. I reaaaallly want to get off the rock....its broken.
Wow, what a sad statement your last sentence is. As a relatively normal man, I can only recommend you get away from the city, stand on the earth and experience some gratitude concerning just how unbelievably fortunate you are to be here. Wow.
@@jeremyperala839 I recommend you read his last sentence again.
Simply living here doesn't mean you've accomplished anything.
@@JayBee-cr8jm and using taxpayer money to fly to an asteroid to watch the sunrise is an accomplishment?
I had the pleasure to meet him several years ago. A gentleman & a scholar. Great to see his brain is as sharp as ever!
So articultate and a great scientist and a first for the program.
Harrison Schmitt is the most charismatic and interesting of all of the Apollo astronauts.
grazie per questa intervista, è giusto lasciare questa testimonianza per le future generazioni
Great interview. Weird how a cult has built up on pretending we didn’t land on the moon. People are nuts.
It's a sad cult of ignorance and thinking that someone's uninformed opinion is equally worth as one's knowledge.
All a misconception of a recreation CBS News did of actual events during live broadcast
Let them think whatever, it’s the same as the people who think the earth is flat, they could go experience it themselves and come back saying the same garbage. Incompetence, ignorance and just plain crazy…
It stems from a deep mistrust in everything government, in that way I kind of see where they're coming from but I agree with you there's too much evidence that we did!!
@@careyjones98 Actually it stems from the fact rhat part of the "live" broadcast was not live. It was simulated in a studio because of problems with live transmission which everyone knew was a possibility so they had a studio set up for simulations to show on television instead of having to look at news people while listening to audio of the astronauts and Houston which they were certain would work just fine. Just video was a concern. People then talked about the broadcast being fake, etc, etc
Nice interview.
Good post.
It's crazy you're 88 years old, you sure looks great sir!
Amazing to hear what he saw and how the sky was black.
Its nuts that we can interview a guy who literally walked on the moon.
Incredible interview! They should put this guy on an Artemis mission and take him back to the moon.
Nice interview.
Amazing

"Harrison Schmitt may be the only person without a military aviation background to walk on the moon"
Jack Schmitt is a graduate of USAF UPT. That is one full year of training, flying military jets. The supersonic T-38 Talon, and the T-37 before that. 1 year of military flying is 1yr more than nothing.
3:51 - As he explains himself.
Back then scientist astronauts were required to learn to fly and become jet rated. He spent a year in the USAF learning to fly and ultimately flew T-38 jets
Yup, he went through the same UPT as USAF pilots back then & today went through. He probably flew some of the same T-38s as active USAF pilots today have flown as well.
Remember when he was a king of the hill character?
At 33:15, what is he talking about in regards to "Air force version of the shuttle & accidents with it"?
#Goddarnet your cool!
You, Sir, are a contributor.
“A trusted interlockerer”
Why are youtube adding a context box to this video. Do they think we're listening to an Apollo astronaut thinking "what is that" lmao.
I have yet to hear a convincing account of what it is like to walk on the moon. Yet I have heard dozens of such that don't seem to make a whole lot of sense.
Schmitt and Aldrin have.
@@gunternetzer9621 No, you haven't.
Put on a big inflated bulky suit, then walk around in 1/6th gravity. Done.
Joe Rogan needs to book a interview with him
Why? He is nothing but a liar…
Funding ... always the problem. These days we just print what we need.
If the vegetation were removed from the earth,the earth would look just like the moon except bigger.
lol that dude got 33 written all over him
Do men like this still exist ?
They do, they just haven't come to the forefront.
They still exist. I've seen a few young bucks that -if they can find the right path could be just like Jack and a lot of these guys, no problem. There are things that are just out of their control completely though... If we undo the BS going on in the education system across the board the last 30 years and remove all the astronomical amounts of gate keeping and nepotism going on in the aerospace industrial complex they'll show up more and Aerospace in America as a whole will roar back to life and create new and amazing things again instead of a bunch old farts maintaining legacy aircraft and or space programs.. I should also say, Much as I understand and respect Mike Rowe's arguments about college vs trades; when it comes to stuff like space travel and exotic aircraft and progressing aerospace to the true FUTURE we all dream, you MUST have a scientific and educational foundation of some kind (classroom work and study) mixed with a trade to make people like this. They're out there.. They just need to be thinned out of the heard, found and sharpened. The old ways used to do this pretty efficiently, apparently, Jack's is a shinning example. But for whatever reason they were thrown out or forgotten. I also think its all been slowly sabotaged by the outside world whether intentional or not, so many variables, but thats a rabbit hole on its own. Common core is the most recent blatant example aside from all the freaky stuff happening in our schools already. It all starts and begins to focus in grade school. Weve gotta turn that s*it around.
Where a noteworthy lunar geologist, woefully unfortunate that Schmitt should deny human influence (anthropogenic global warming) in global climate change.
Funny. Try Burt Rutan's perspective.
You won't like it either.
What makes your "science" better than his? Particularly so when he has nothing to gain from his view, as opposed to others whose livelihood depend on support from bodies with certain political or financial agenda.
It’s because he has a brain in his head and can think for himself. You should try it some time.
@@strawman6085 damn right!
Unfortunate that he must tell the truth and not genuflect to the latest thing.
If moon landings were real, why the hell they are still planning to land a women on moon and still couldn't
Politics and (lack of) money.
@@theendlessvoid7124
Because they can't. They are still collecting data because they have no idea how to safely put any human on the moon.
Money. NASA hasn’t received anywhere close to the same level of funding that they had back then, not to mention we quickly realized after the space race that without competition there’s no incentive for it. The reason people are considering the moon again today is because it took that long for competition in the space industry to return.
@galaxypanda1288
data suggests that the Apollo 11 astronauts were not sufficiently protected against radiation: Neither the spaceship nor the spacesuits contained lead.
Aluminum is ineffective against gamma and neutron rays. The calculated exposure to of the Apollo crew was 1.8 Sv, an amount of associated with nausea, vomiting, bone marrow changes and 20% mortality. Surprisingly no Apollo astronaut showed any ill effects from radiation exposure. These inconsistencies seem to reflect either possible over-estimation or under-reporting of the health hazards summarized in Safe Passage. Furthermore, these medical inconsistencies seem to highlight the surprising observations that the Apollo 11 astronauts did not show any signs of space sickness from microgravity upon their return to earth on July 24th 1969 [9].
@@aok4418 The command module’s outer hull was made of stainless steel and the (upper) heat shield from epoxy resin, which along with the fibrous insulation between the inner and outer hulls was a very effective form of shielding against protonic radiation.
Lead shielding is not effective against all types of radiation. High energy electrons (including beta radiation) on lead may create the Bremsstrahlung effect, which is potentially more dangerous to tissue than the original radiation. Furthermore, lead is not a particularly effective absorber of neutron radiation.
To reach the Moon and return safely, the Apollo astronauts had to cross the quarter of a million miles between the Earth and the Moon. They also needed to operate safely while in orbit around the Moon and on the lunar surface. During the Apollo missions, the spacecraft were outside the Earth’s protective magnetosphere for most of their flight. However, they were not exposed to particle radiation for long enough on a short 8-12 day round trip for it to be a significant risk. In 1968 the Russian Zond 5 sent a number of biological samples around the Moon and back, including two turtles and these specimens were recovered alive upon their return to Earth.
The astronauts would have been at serious risk of electromagnetic wave radiation from energetic solar flares, however the Apollo flights coincided with the height of the solar cycle, the periodic waxing and waning of activity that occurs every 11 years. The increased strength of the Sun’s magnetic field that permeates the solar system acts like an umbrella, shielding the Earth, Moon and planets and therefore lessening the impact on astronaut radiation doses.
lol people still believe in this hoax....
The laugh's on you.
@@gunternetzer9621 "We used to have the technology to go to the moon but we destroyed that technology and it's a painful process to build it back again....."
-Don Pettit, astroNOT
@@BiffJohnsonIII Of course it's difficult to build up again. NASA did not lose the technology to go to the Moon in the sense that it was forgotten, mislaid or mysteriously disappeared. A lot of the blueprints still exist on file; but the individual knowledge of everyone involved and the “organisational know-how” of how to actually run such a huge, complex project has been lost after such a long time. Much of the equipment is archaic, and many things cannot be bought “off the shelf” and have to be specially manufactured. Re-designing from scratch is cheaper and better. However, it takes years to build up that sort of expertise and NASA is going through the same problems it had in the early to mid-60’s.
lol people still believe the moon landings were faked. The evidence proves they are real.
@@gunternetzer9621 You actually believe that, lol
Just more GOVERNMENT B.S.
Ah yes. Thinking that TYPING IN CAPITALS means the moronic nonsense you type is made somehow factually correct. The mark of the ignorant.
Nope.
What a liar. .. you couldnt see stars??????????????????? That joker has never walked the moon..!
Of course he couldn’t see stars. He was on the moon in bright daylight, i.e. in light a billion times brighter than the stars.
@@Hobbes746
Beyond Low Earth Orbit, space radiation may place astronauts at significant risk for radiation sickness, and, increased lifetime risk for cancer, central nervous system effects, and degenerative diseases. Research studies of exposure in various doses and strengths of radiation provide strong evidence that cancer and degenerative diseases are to be expected from exposures to galactic cosmic rays (GCR) or solar particle events (SPE).
Milli-Sievert (mSv) is a form of measurement used for radiation. Astronauts are exposed to ionizing radiation with effective doses in the range from 50 to 2,000 mSv. 1 mSv of ionizing radiation is equivalent to about three chest x-rays. So that’s like if you were to have 150 to 6,000 chest x-rays.
@@Hobbes746 I bet you believe there is sound in space as well.
NASA's own footage debunks the BS Apollo missions.
Basic science eludes some, and it is hilarious to the rest of us. Keep commenting
@@aok4418 what a load of tosh...

He's convincing but the fact remains that the Van Allen radiation bands can't be transversed by man.
You have factually proven this by trying? There are plenty of people who still believe the Earth is flat too, yet have never went out and tried to prove it correct. Your clam is just as, if not more, weaker than theirs.
Don’t call it a fact when you are quite clearly talking complete nonsense.
@snakeinthegrak8969 1 flat earther has tried but if memory serves me right he was just smashed flat into the earth. I don't even think he made it to the Karman line even.
Says who?
@@snakeinthegrak8969 Oh no, someone told him and he wants it to be true and by the power of brain damage and delusion what he wants trumps reality and becomes true. That's how 90% of these people reason. That's why you can't reason with them. Bad wiring is bad wiring and these people were born defective and will just be a burden for their betters to carry their whole life.
