Considering the background music, If I were not actually watching the video, I might think it was a program on early 1960's housewives going about their daily chores.
The primary goal of this craft is to scare the ever loving crap out of the astronauts. The nicknames of the craft are "The Flying Bedstead" and "The Unidentified Flying Brown Streak".
To quote a show that I saw about the Lunar Module "They decided to stop using the simulator because it was actually safer to land on the Moon than to try to fly this thing down in Texas, just too unstable".
I have to laugh at the comments from non believers. So you spend your spare time commenting on video's of something that you do not believe happened? Why? You clearly don't need to convince yourself so why sit wasting time trying to force other people to think the same as yourselves. Go get a hobby
The Earth-based LEM shown at the beginning, the LLTV, which was also known as "The Flying Bedstead", was almost universally hated by all of the pilots, and more than one had to make an emergency ejection before crashing.
This in no way simulates landing the lem on the moon in a vacuum. 22 times,who comes up with these training times. This is morelike a naked Harrier jumpjet. Everything about this is unlike a lem landing on the moon or lifting off,you can put wires on it all you want and make it a sixth of the weight,its still not in a vacuum. Yet Armstrong was shown crashing 1 of these and yet he was still picked to go 1st,i,d think crash equals sorry Neil thats a fail. Also what about the other 40,000 or more feet,how did they practice that,surely thats as important. It goes from this to twistng and turning,undocking and a perfect landing 6 times on the moon. The engines arnt even the same. He flew 200 ft or more in air in one of these,perfect its exactly the same as landing on the moon,but it isnt is it.
Thanks for this👍... I saw Buzz Aldrin speak for an hour here in NZ in 2010 about his experience ON the Moon and in space 👍🇳🇿
Great video, but the title is misleading. Should be The Story of the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (LLRV)
I never realized that there was such an extensive ground crew and support staff for these LLTV flights.
Bet whenever that thing took off it cleared an area of about 1/2 mile radius with people taking cover

KSP FTW!

Please, Urdu language use kryn
How is it you can hear the little compressed air jets but you can't hear the huge jet engine?

Did they ever so carefully glance over the fact that the astronauts hated this death trap?
Where was all the jet fuel?
Where does this vehicle currently reside?
SURELY...there is footage of a SUCCESSFUL flight/s of the simulator, I mean an unedited version, and surely many of them

The more I watch this, the more I realise we didn't go.
Gene Kranz said That 1200 tries in simulators resulted in not one success on landing. It was easier to pretend. Real thing was not coke
