Apollo Digest Series:
The Lunar Module
The Lunar Module A description of the LM’s components for descent and ascent from the moon with period animation. Also featured: thirteen antennae for communication and maneuvering, propulsion systems and variable thrust.
-
Testing Apollo
Testing Apollo The short film covers the testing of the Apollo V rocket and its elements, from the engines to the Command Service Module, Lunar Module-even the launch escape system on top of the capsule. Astronauts even tested the individual segments that went to the moon in a vacuum chamber.
-
Spacecraft for Apollo
Spacecraft for Apollo This covers the various elements of the Saturn V and Command Module, Service Module (the “basement”), and Lunar Module. These were the portions critical for the descent and landing on the moon.
-
Saturn third stage
Saturn third stage assembly and testing of the Saturn third stage. 20,000 gls of liquid oxygen at -273F, and 63,000 gls of liquid hydrogen at -423F. The J-2 engine during a test run at full throttle-200,000lbs static thrust. This is the stage that put the crew into orbit, then reignites and sends the CM, CS, an LM on their way to the moon.
-
Mission Control
Mission Control Overview of NASA’s mission control in Houston, as well as other facilities in the US and around the world. Roles and activities are discussed. “One of the world’s” largest computing complexes collects and sends data to Mission Control to direct evert phase of the Apollo mission-at “three times the rate of earlier systems!”
So simple and educational. No PawnStars or stupid influencer BS. Wish we could return to this era of content and teaching.
it wont and cant. while we were distracted this happened!!! we are being converted to a dumbed down 3rd world country!!! and no one seems to notice care or give a shit!!!!
This content might be worth $800 but I'll have to call a friend and the best I can do is $150.
hear, hear!
Ahhh memories! When I was a little squirt growing up in the 60s my Dad was one of the administrators for the SDUSD (San Diego ciry schools) and during summers sometimes he'd bring home a projector and various films from the schools big film library. Our house became backyard movie night all the neighbors and kids came down Ma would make popcorn. And our patio became an outdoor movie theater. It was loads of fun. Anyway I remember he'd bring home these various NASA films which we'd all love because Apollo was all happening! It's was a thrilling time. ❤😊
That’s way way too cool. I love it.
Wonderful old films of the greatest space adventure of all time, the Apollo program. Thank you so much for posting.
I love these films and especially when I was growing up Apollo was the big thing in the news Such memories!
The background music is incredible
This was my obsession when I was young. These programs were aired on Saturday mornings, if I remember correctly. The effort put forward to make the goal happen is astonishing, rivaling World War Two. The technology that was developed has made our reliance on computers possible, sad to say. There was no reason to develop miniature computers until the program to go to the Moon was announced. There would be a time when computations were needed which could not be done by computers on Earth, because the spacecraft would be behind the Moon. So a computer small enough and light enough to fit in a spacecraft had to be developed. The first microprocessor put a computer on a single silicone chip. What was only a few transistors has become billions of them on a single chip.
It took the best and the brightest just to design and assemble Saturn-Apollo, let alone direct the space flights, culminating in the moon landings.
I was less than a month old when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon.
54 years later I hope to see the next moon landing soon.
It's been so long!
Did Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon? Don't make my ass laugh
@@usaf2010 You're thinking of Lance Armstrong, the astronaut. Neil was the competitive cyclist who took steroids.
Louis was the black sheep of the family, but handy with a trumpet.
I hope this makes your arse laugh, as you put it so simply... I just hope you don't wear white pants while doing so.
@@usaf2010 Yes, you are an ass. We understand.
@@robert-trading-as-Bob69 You are wrong. Neil Armstrong was an astronaut. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Armstrong
@@Nakolezestodoly Really? You can't fool me!
Come on, EVERYONE knows that Neil Diamond changed his name to Armstrong and was involved in that steroids scandal and dated that singer who sang 'Black Velvet'.
Lance Armstrong wanted to open the first KFC drive-through on the moon, but was told he wasn't famous enough, DESPITE having cycled across the moon SOLO, without oxygen, alongside Michael Collins, while little-known astronaut Edwin E Aldrin jr. stayed in the capsule revolving around the moon.
They are completely different people, and I don't know where you got your misinformation from, but it is disturbing how professionally it was compiled and presented!
Ps: The Michael Collins on the moon is definitely NOT the same Michael Collins from the IRA who fought for Irish independence from the British, although I may be wrong about that.
According to Emuskapedia, the family of the Irish Michael Collins is sueing the family of the late Michael Collins (of the first moonwalk and team support for Lance Armstrongs SOLO moon cycle saga) for defaming the older Michael Collins' name.
(As ridiculous as it sounds, I honestly get the feeling you're from an alternate time-line!)
And remember kids this was made by hand. No computer was involved. And the graphics are amazing.
Note that the lander seen in the first half of the film is an early mockup. The round hatch was later replaced with a square one.
That's right. 👍 While doing mock EVA's they discovered that the PLSS (Portable Life Support System)/backpack wouldn't fit through a round hatch. Heck, they barely made it through the square one.
The round hatch concept was actually rejected fairly early -- late 1963, I believe. A small window was added above for rendezvous and docking with the CM.
[ The Apollo command and service module was much bigger and far more complex than any previous manned spacecraft. In *October 1963,* Joseph F. Shea was named Apollo Spacecraft Program Office (ASPO) manager, responsible for managing the design and construction of both the CSM and the LM.]
1960's best time to be alive in the history of humanity
bahahaha no.
Best time to be deceived. Born in 62 and a lot has changed mostly the truth.
not sure all young USA adults would agree, guess some had fun, killing etc.
1968???
2:22 - "This parabolic antenna is the rendezvous radar" - nope, that's the S-band dish.
Yup, very obviously so. Surprised nobody caught that in production
The kind of mechanical engineering they did then is no longer used or taught. This is why we can't just re-use apollo-era designs. In many ways modern technology is vastly superior but it trades off computer control for human skill in engineering and fabrication.
Agreed, I remember watching my dad work when I was a kid. Slide rules and draft boards. They used their brains, not CAD
Are you joking that's one of the dumbest things every they don't teach that type of engineering, so no one is smart enough now to build the space craft needed 55years later, with all the tech we have now they were still smarter in the 60s what one took notes Somethings wrong and we still can't now go to the moon its BS Maybe they could have some classes in historic rocket building I guess they're going to have to teach and use that engineering again if they're going to the moon.
Would you rather be driving a handmade Model T or a Lexus with perfectly aligned parts and perfect welds? There's still plenty of human skill involved. It's very impressive but completely crazy that the Saturn V's F1 engines were handmade. THAT's the reason we can't reuse them. Each one is unique. We couldn't repeatably make them with adequate tolerances so each one was a jigsaw puzzle which required a team of engineers to make sure it worked right with its parts and their tolerances. And the core memory of the Apollo computer was handmade. How awesome would that be if upgrading your PC's memory meant you needed a team of skilled workers to spend a month building a memory upgrade that was unique to your PC and cost more money than you'll make in your lifetime?
Imagine if the Navy was using handmade F-18s, and when something broke you needed a team of craftsmen to rebuild the part that broke, because it wasn't ever put in CAD and it wasn't the same as that part on all the other F-18s.
@@RaquelFoster The model T and the Lexus where both made on an assembly line just 100 years apart. So, people where smarter and more skilled in the 60s.With all the technology now sorry it makes no since. Good thing the medical field doesn't work like that. Yes, we did open heart surgery, but we don't have anyone smart enough or skilled enough to do that surgery anymore doesn't sound right does it. Ford made the assembly line just for the 3million model Ts that were made. Hand make 3 million cars in the early 1900s I don't think so. The US beat everyone in the world to the moon 60years ago, and no one in the world has even been close to going to the moon since then. Looking for some south Florida real estate or a bridge to buy?
@@thomash4447 that's just not the case. There's a good interview on RUclips with an Apollo engineer and he's asked if engineers were better or smarter or more talented in the 60's and he's didn't miss a beat to say absolutely not. He said it perfectly - the engineers today are every bit as smart/clever/talented as their 60's counterparts, it's just that the tools and problems that need focusing on are different.
Only the best and most qualified team members were used throughout this program. No dei or other nonsense was employed to distract from the mission objectives.
???
Think you need to study more, like the Apollo 1 fire inquest.
Amazing. Great video.
Yes but I don’t understand how it hasn’t been flagged for copyright. I’m not saying it is but RUclips sucks.
@@samueltaylor4989 I don't know either. What I don't understand is where all of these old videos come from, and how they are being digitized. I mean are people discovering rolls of film in their attics, and then having them digitally mastered ?
Ed White said it best.....how are we going to get to the moon when we can't communicate between a few buildings?
Just a few minutes later, tragedy struck the crew of Apollo 1.
Gus Grissom was actually the one who said this.
These programmes would have gone to air between 1964 - 69 to inform 200 million Americans. I wonder when they went out? Were this hidden away in the schedule, very late night? Sometime on Sunday afternoon? Or were they broadcast on schools programmes, Wednesday at 11.30 for students? And how were they received? Ignored in favour of I Love Lucy? Avidly watched with cries of ''Gee Mom, are they really going to The Moon, I wanna be an astronaut when I grow up''. Were they followed with the national anthem with citizens standing to attention saying ''Only in America'' before more Mom's apple pie? Who remembers them when they were new? 😀
These appear to be company films produced for executives, employees, stockholders, etc. Anything broadcast by the major networks was usually very simplified and played for the human interest angle, not so much nuts and bolts engineering. Our school seldom showed films about the space program. Most coverage occurred during the missions, the major magazines ran prominent cover stories during those times and of course there were the newspapers. But very little in depth information was available via mainstream media.
@@andyburk4825 Thanks. I remember watching the coverage of Apollo on the BBC in the UK and programmes as in depth as this were often shown. I remember too watching the launch of Apollo 11 on the 16th of July 1969 in the school hall with everybody else and I remember writing projects about it.
Oh too bad .. our moon mission failed.
Lietenant. Do you still keep those simulation movie?
I thought "I Dream of Jeanie" was starting... :)
they used her to fake it ;)
A picture of the descent stage taken by Hubble shows at the lander`s left side a ticket for overrun parking time.
So where is the moon buggy ??? How’d it get there
The moon buggy (Lunar Rover Vehicle) was used in Apollo 15,16 and 17 missions, not the first four. It was foldable and stored outside of the Lunar Module. People are puzzled mostly for two reasons, they don't realize that it was foldable and quite compact when stored, and on the contrary, the LM was very big, if you have a chance to see one up close (there's one for example in the Science museum at London)
Ah ok, thank you, I didn’t think that out very well!
@@Treasuremonk The rover was carried in the empty quadrant 1 bay of the lunar module’s descent stage, folded (as mentioned) and stored with the underside of the chassis facing out.
One astronaut would climb the egress ladder on the LM and release the rover, which would then be slowly tilted out by the second astronaut on the ground. As the rover was let down from the bay, most of the deployment was automatic. The rear wheels folded out and locked in place. When they touched the ground, the front of the rover could be unfolded, the front wheels deployed, and the entire frame let down to the surface by pulleys.
The rover components locked into place upon opening. Cabling, pins, and tripods would then be removed, and the seats and footrests raised. After switching on all the electronics, the vehicle was ready to back away from the LM.
There are illustrations on pages 135/136 in the Haynes Apollo manual published in 2019, which show how the rover was folded up and stored and on page 199 a diagram which shows how it was deployed on the surface. More information is available on pages 31-34 in the Observer’s Book of Manned Spaceflight published in 1972.
Thank you for the comment!
@@Treasuremonk On that minimal weight & space ship they vacated one Quadrant... 🙂 On Apollo 11 Quadrant 1 housed the high gain S-band antenna, later mission for longer stay's (MORE FOOD + OXYGEN), They are able to gain space and use as garage, aside their equipment trunk.
This is fvcking hilarious!
How did they carry all the oxygen for the astronauts? I was on oxygen for 4 years. At home, I had a machine that made oxygen. Did they have anything like that in the 60's? Oxygen tanks don't hold much. Such brave men.
Liquid o2...
Apollo used a rebreather system similar to that used in nuclear submarines where the carbon dioxide is chemically scrubbed out of the air and pure oxygen is added from storage tanks. In the spacecraft the oxygen is stored in liquid form, allowing tremendous amounts to be stored in a small volume.
They didn't, they recycled what they had- they had liquid oxy tanks, both for breathing and power.
@@Patriotgal1 I said that and the power was provided by fuel cells, combing hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity and as a by product, drinking water.
I REALLY miss straightforward science and engineering reports. Venerable shows like Nova have greatly reduced their science content. Not good.
Too bad the earth is flat and none of this actually happened. Right Sam? 😮
I've come to the realization that when they say we lost the ability to go to the moon its not because we dont have the means too,we've lost the imagination and brain power to do it. Think about it ,we went to the moon and back with simple know how. It was a well trained pilot that landed on the moon in pretty much a tinfoil bubble. It's the know how we dont have anymore!!!
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.
Rocket technology has not progressed much at all and although modern computers are far more sophisticated, they are far more vulnerable to particle radiation than those that used low density integrated circuits and magnetic core memory, both of which are extremely radiation hard. There is also no cold war imperative, not as much funding and no time limit placed on it by a president. The terrain will be rougher this time with longer shadows and a heavier lander. We also live in much more risk averse times. All these issues are what has caused it to take so long this time around.
We have mainly lost the political will and funding
I wish they had return to apollo but upgrade it with today's technology. Instead they are pursuing Artemis program which has nothing to do with apollo legacy. Poor planning, loose moon landing date, the lander design - curtesy to spaceX - does not yet exist (starship design is far from finalized and the on orbit fuel transfer has yet to be developed) yet the pr is doing everything they can to bring public attention. I wish Nasa all luck they need but I am doubtful Man and Woman will land on the moon surface as planned by 2025.
Good point… I agree… what’s your thoughts about starship?
It now looks more like 2026 / 27 from the latest news. As Artemis 3 will not be landing on the moon as planned. No explanations given.
Apollo wasn't big enough for the crew size nor was it nearly safe enough. To many close calls never went public knowledge.
Check out the SmarterEveryday video where he literally goes to NASA and gives a long presentation on how Artemis is poorly planned compared to Apollo
Not and expert but I suspect you are correct. The Apollo program was utterly amazing, and Space X has accomplished a lot, but something is missing, and maybe that is what you are talking about.
The only thing that worries me is going to do 🚽🧻 infront other people 👨👨 ( Borman , Lovell 😅) and not having s shower . Sorry , it's not for me . 🚘
wow! is this the pre post mastering of the apollo 11 landing films? lols
Artemis isn’t going to work. Too complicated. The should have built an SLS with twice the payload of the Saturn 5 so you just need one launch per mission. They could have a bigger lem that could stay on the moon 2 weeks. Most importantly they could have a bigger service module for Orion so it can get in and out of lunar orbit.
I hate RUclips when they fuck up background music
This video doesn't have any sound alteration or music mute by RUclips. It is posted here in its original form. Keep in mind that it is very old and it's not a music video clip or promotional feature!
when we were real Americans
?
Moondoggle: The Forgotten Opposition to the Apollo Program
For most of our lunar adventure, a majority of Americans did not support going to the moon. On the 50th anniversary of JFK’s “We choose to go the moon” speech, we excavate this forgotten opposition.
By Alexis C. Madrigal
Polls both by USA Today and Gallup have shown support for the moon landing has increased the farther we've gotten away from it. 77 percent of people in 1989 thought the moon landing was worth it; only 47 percent felt that way in 1979.
- anyway must be bombing the hell out some country like real.....
Well, REAL NAZI's got us to the Moon. My Great Uncle worked along side those former NAZI officers who made NASA. He constantly talked about how wonderful they were, and what a shame we had been tricked into going to war with them.
the spooky, far-out space music is very futuristic.......
We could have had it all. But we chose war Crazy
Oh, we now have many blax and brown "doctors", who will be "taking care of you". We COULD have had the stars, instead we have lots of subhumans living amongst us.
What do you mean? The Apollo program and Moon landing happened during the Vietnam war.
It's sad we could have pulled up with the shuttle. Dropped off lunar equipment. But America only really worries about the military and such.
No. The shuttle didn’t have the capability to reach the moon.
@@peteconrad2077 we could have with a few additional components for a trip like that. If you check into it they thought of it.
The modern era was mostly invented by 1946. Mankind peaked in 1969. Everything since is derivative. Yes including your damn iPhone
I'd love to hear your thoughts on what was actually invented in 1946 and not derivative.
annoying background music makes it hard to watch
That's the actual original music, we didn't change it (just fyi)

Intresting, I remember all this but I was young and stupid at the time, now I know better.
Humans curiosity is fantastic, but we've already screwed up everything we can, when we get further we'll screw up that too. Humanity always leaves dirty traces and death behind, it is time to change that, the clock and time is not waiting for us. We will be left alone in the destruction we have created. /Sorry.
