In this video, we will look at what the astronauts of Apollo 11 left behind. With the first people to step foot on the moon, NASA apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin having left the site, they also left behind different experiments including a seismometer, the laser lunar retroflector and commemorative items such as soviet medals and an apollo 1 mission patch. In this space video I am revisiting a significant historical site, Tranquility Base, that noone has has visited since.

Ill never forget hearing my great grandma talk about how she had seen man go from a horse and buggy to landing on the moon. Thats pretty incredible
Same with my Grandfather bless his soul, he was an engineer and was so impressed by the moon landing, He used to tell me stories about seeing the first television in his neighbourhood and how they all went to their friends house down the road to watch the moon landing,, I'm, never forget his last words he told me "Stop shaking the ladder you little Shi..."
was she born in the 1800s? something like 1891
My grandma had a drinking problem too 😞
@@Valkron11 that’s why she worked at a brothel?
even tho she didnt see man landing on the moon.People are so dumb that they think proof of landing on the moon was shown on live tv.its easier to fool someone than convince them they have been fooled.
The fact that they left medals honoring cosmonauts is quite heartwarming.
Agreed 👍
do you think russia would have done the same had they won the race?
@@sandwichman100 the Cosmonauts MIGHT have....
@@sandwichman100 definitely not, russians hate everyone, including themselves
@@sandwichman100absolutely. Russians today or then aren't nearly as bigoted aS Americans are now.
I remember sitting in front of our black-and-white telly as a 9-year-old child and seeing this incredible landing being televised. literally blew my mind.
Do you still believe in Santa too?
Me too! I was 9 years old in 1969. Still have vivid memories of the moon landing. It was really mind boggling.
I hope not literally
Same age and TV here.
Unbelievable some people still believe we landed on the moon when we just crashed a lander on the lunar surface the other day! No human has ever ventured past low earth orbit because there is no way of dealing with space's radiation ie: van Allen belts or with the threat of a sudden solar storm/flare. It was a nice show Apollo, but is was all make-believe. Get a grip.
I watched the Apollo XI landing as a 10 year old Canadian schoolboy. When I visited the Kennedy Space Center, I chose some memorabilia to buy and bring home. One “must have” was the Apollo I mission patch. Never forget, RIP.
They died for a movie
Huh? Whatever you’re talking about, it’s pretty obscure. Explain.
@@johnspooner1403 it's pretty much self explanatory
@@nyeaglesfootballgarbagemen8346 - Nope. No it isn’t. It’s obtuse.
@@johnspooner1403 Oh right, you're frim Soviet Canuckistan
Your country is pretty slow
An alternate theory about the Apollo 11 flag goes as follows: After the flag blew over during Apollo 11's departure from the surface, the flags for the Apollo 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 missions were planted farther away from the lunar module and remained standing after the astronauts left. Those flags were almost certainly bleached out by the sun. With the Apollo 11 flag, however, it is possible that the same rocket exhaust that blew the flag over may have also covered it in lunar dust. If enough dust covered the flag to block most of sunlight, it's possible that the buried flag is the last one retaining it's original colors.
sounds very possible!
Later Apollo missions did plant the flag farther away to avoid what happened on Apollo 11. Great theory about the dust! I never thought about that!
How many pairs of spacesuit boot overlays still remain on the lunar surface
When the lunar capsule left the moon, it was on top of another rocket which stayed. It had the fuel for landing. So if the capsule took off, the exaust wouldn't have kicked up dust because the exaust would have hit the capsule that got left on the moon. Now about it being knocked over by the re-directed exaust I can't say because I don't know exactly how far away it was from the take off platform. But I assume that because there is less gravity and no atmosphere to speak of on the moon than there would be less resistance to slow down the exaust from the capsule.
Like your theory.
A lot of people don’t know how much respect the Russian and American space programs had/have for each other. The governments were competitive but not the space agencies
It is hard to compete for Fake Space that Don't exist 😂
WTF are you talking about, 1 russian died because of to pure oxygen did the Russians tell Americans NO that's why NASA lost 3 in fire inside capsule. No importaint life saving information was ever past between them. They were in a SPACE RACE ever heard that saying, the pilots might of had respect for each other but NASA was in a major competition with Russians they beat Americans in everything but the landing on the moon, why do you think so many Americans don't believe they landed on the moon when they claimed.
First satellite in space: Russians
First animal in space: dog Russians
First man in space: Russians
First man to return from space: Russians
First space walk: Russians
First women in space: Russians
First lost woman in space: Russians
First object on the moon: Russians
First man on moon: Americans?????
So why did I put question marks? Simple reely America couldn't get any rockets of the pad with out them blowing up, don't get me wrong Russia had many issues at the start too.
America couldn't get any Apollo rockets off the ground without them blowing up, then all of a sudden they are working perfectly and they are sending men to the moon in only short months later, OK maybe it was a glitch a easy fix but as so many have pointed out it seems very strange that the hardest task was done by America after so many issues and it went perfectly, well not really see NASA lost tapes on returning to earth these tapes were damaged when travelling through the radiation belt, also by radiation on the moon basically ruining the footage so they fixed it, but how they never went back to the moon at that point in time so how do you recover film on the moon.
They FAKED IT, oh I'm not talking about the moon landing, they got a movie set and retook the photos they had lost as well as some film they'd lost.
Now back when this happened you probably get shot for telling this, but it came out in the mid 80s, the smart people started to question and think well if they faked it to reposes the picture and film why couldn't they of faked the whole lot. Because of people coming up with that conclusion NASA went quiet again and its extremely hard to find evidence of what they did, hard but not impossible just need to know were to look.
But as far as friendship between NASA and Russian's in space race, it never happened until 1980s when they built the space station
Unfortunately the Russian space programme is part of the military, unlike the US...
Well done Amigo👍🦅
@JamieWex Okay, THAT is 100% a load of BS. The reason “most people don’t know” is because it doesn’t exist. The only thing the Russians care about is how much $$ they can extort from our mutual (NASA, ESA, etc.) Programs., and please, spare me the “It’s the Government” speech, because it isn’t.
The bastards not only doubled their Taxi Fare rate to the ISS after President Odumbass canned the Shuttle Program w/o first having a viable replacement vehicle, they were also several years behind schedule in delivering their ISS modules. All the Russians have ever “done” for us is cost us more money, headaches, and more problems. About the only thing the Russians have done right is NOT killing any of our Astronauts; yes, we’ve lost our share, but not in the horrific ways they have because of their stupidity. Even some of our Astronauts have passed on an ISS mission because they’d have to take a Russian vehicle both ways.
“Competitive”?? I Don’t THINK SO. “Respect”? 100% Pure Propaganda. Why? Because we still need public support, but that’s as far as it goes.
In 1981 I was visiting the National Bureau of Standards at Bolder Colorado known now as (NIST). While there I was taken to a lab that has telescopes that monitor the sun and moon. One of the researchers there said "you want to see something cool? ". While looking at screen from the lunar telescope, he flipped on a laser and illuminated retroreflectors from three of the lunar landing sites. An instrument panel also read out the distance from the scope to the moon. He was right it was very cool...
5 now as they located the 2 Russian rovers with Fench built retroreflectors.
@@DeputyNordburg
Six now (as of a few months ago on Chandrayaan-3). Or, even more if you include the ones that crashed and shattered into a million pieces.
Great 👍
was it possible to see the return red ? laser light with physical viewing through the telescope ? You hint yes but don't say so.
The monitors were black and white. (1981)
I was 11 at that time, followed the space program with the excitement of an 11 yo. One special memory that I have was my twin sisters we born the day after the landing. I couldn't go in to see my mom but her room had a window facing a patio, went to see her and she stood holding one of my sisters while in the background was a news broadcast of the men walking on the moon. That was awesome
We can all agree that the production quality and visuals of this video is simply incredible
I checked you out as well..your videos are pretty amazing
I can not agree.
@@salsa83 I agree with you not agreeing
@@David-kw6xp Thanks!..Hope you enjoyed
Why did you put (youtuber) in your channel name? Wouldn't that make it less professional?
My dad was a radio man in the Navy during this time. He helped relay signals back to NASA and listened intently to the conversations. He was absolutely amazed. A young kid from a rural state getting to experience something so amazing.
He had no patience for landing deniers and got into argument with at least one person I remember. When he passed in 2020, I had to give the eulogy and I mentioned his experience doing this and mentioned that if there WERE a conspiracy about the landing, he never got his cut from the government to hush things up.
“As we all know, dad wouldn’t have shut up until he got his money.” Everyone laughed and it helped set the tone for the rest of the service.
Dad was proud he got to be part of this in a small way and I loved hearing the stories.
My father was also what was your father's name?

There was enough of a signal delay for command to selectively exclude certain transmissions . Your dad was hearing the same "live" transmissions as everyone else.
@@John-ic9ov no.

Your reply is a non sequitur
I followed the Gemini and Apollo missions with avid interest, together with my dad when I was a kid. At age 8, I had read and studied the Apollo Lunar mission profile and also read lots of material on orbital mechanics and rocketry, so was able to explain it to the class when my science teacher asked, and was also proud to answer my dad's questions on the planned lunar voyages, how orbits work, etc. To me, that was a wonderful way to reciprocate my dad's kindness, care and patience in answering my endless questions about different kinds of engines and tools long before I reached the age of 8 years.
I also went to view lunar rock samples that were put on exhibit after the return of the Apollo 11 astronauts.
I would love to see, or even participate in, a trip to the Moon perhaps on SpaceX's Starship (currently under development), to land on a spot far enough from the Apollo 11 site -- to avoid damage to the site by rocket blast throwing up regolith during landing and launch -- then driving to the Apollo 11 landing site on a rover to view and film, but not touch, the artifacts left there so long ago. I would also be very honored to take an American flag with me to replace without touching (out of respect) the one knocked down by engine blast during departure of Apollo 11 ascent stage.
Loved seeing this! I didn't know about the commemorative artifacts left behind. A wonderful human thing to do.
I'm curious if the 3D models are available to the public?
Great job! Thanks from Russia. Everything related to the Apollo 11 flight is very close to me. In the 80s and 90s, I was very interested in the history of the development of the space programs of the USA and the USSR. In my collection there are articles from Soviet newspapers of the 60s and 70s about the flights of the ''Mercury'', ''Gemini'' and ''Apollo'' spacecraft, detailed from launch to landing. By the way, all the articles are very friendly and respectful. In 1994 I decided to write a letter to Neil Armstrong about my hobby and to my joy he personally replied to me by sending an autographed photo. Now it is our family heirloom, as well as letters from John Glenn and John Young - pioneers of space exploration. Good luck to everyone.
USA here, thanks for sharing that story ❤
@@TheRedRaven_ I sincerely thank you for your comment. Sergey, 62 years old. Saint Petersburg. Good luck.
Hello Sergei, Antoine here, from Switzerland! In the present difficult time between Russia and pretty much the rest of the world, I rejoice of your constructive and informative message. Congratulations on having been able to obtain those most precious souvenirs.
By the way, I first visited your beautiful home city when I was a young student... when it bore another name, back in July of 1975. Like it is for you, it does not make me a chick of the year! I went back later once, and to Moscow several times, as well as to a number of other places in Russia. My wife (who loves Russian's artists in general, but writers, painters and composers in particular) and I wanted to go back to St-Petersburgh for a few days of "cultural experience"... but... given the present events... this trip might have to be postponed for a long long time... for years certainly, decades perhaps!
@@st-ex8506 Thank you for the comment and for your memories. I do not agree with your statement that almost the whole world is against Russia now. And why do you consider it impossible for yourself to come to Russia for a few days?
@@sergei6572 Impossible it is not. Very difficult however it is. Even some Russian friends of mine, living in Switzerland, and now Swiss citizens, have decided to not visit her mother living in St-Petersburg, as they used to for Christmas. They seem to fear something… him being still a Russian citizen, of “mobilizable” age, and a former officer…
If my wife and I love many things in Russia, we absolutely condemn Russia’s behavior in Ukraine. All things we thought the “new” Russia was are being violated! We obviously know that it is not the will of all Russians, but the times are definitely not right for a visit!
I truly believe that the Apollo Program is the single most impressive feat of engineering ever performed by humans. The sheer amount of workforce, genius and technology this feat took to archive is nothing short of mesmerizing. Literally and figuratively the highest we've been as a species and it's a damn shame we're yet to return to our lovely neighbor.
Artemis is planing to make a 'base' of sorts... a mining facility to mine water, use solar power to break the water into Hydrogen and Oxygen, the basic chemicals in rocket feul... we're turning the moon into a gas station.
Western nations decided to devote all their resources to babysitting third world savages.

Appreciate the effort you put into this one.

That was quite a summer. A few days before I dated a girl that is my wife.

Interesting that the only equipment to keep operating was a mirror... probably cost a $1M or so.
Although it was not mentioned in the narration, I was pleased to see the ALSCC camera (Apollo Lunar Surface Closeup Camera), that was left behind. It's purpose was to take 3-D photos of the undisturbed surface of the moon. The film canister was then brought back to earth for processing.. I was involved in the development of the camera when I was employed at Kodak.
Great job! It worked perfectly! 👍🏻👨🚀

Excellent video, learned a lot from it. Thank You.
We had passes to the new visitor center to watch the launch, but we couldn’t get close the entrance because of the millions of Americans trying to view the launch. A kind man offered to let my mom bring her son and daughter through his yard and sit on his sea wall on the Indian river to watch the launch on July 16th 1969.
I had moved my grandma’s TV into my bedroom (as she was away) and stayed up all night watching at the age of 12. Simply amazed that with all that 1960’s tech that they made it there and back safely.
1 was 12 too
Would be cool if we went back to this landing site to film a documentary about it, recording it with our high tech cameras of today. That would be amazing to watch.
Yea bud, it would be cool.

My Dad worked for Singer-Link maintaining the Apollo simulators. Prior to my 10th birthday he woke me up late in the evening and told me I needed to see history. We watched together and I loved him for it.
I was 7 when we went to the Moon. I sort of knew it was a big deal, but at that age, nothing seems impossible lol. We got off school early, Richard Nixon was speaking on the radio when I hopped in the car. I asked my mother what all the fuss was about, and she said it was history being made. Never forgotten that moment.
Same, mine, too.
My dad worked on crew that filmed the moon landings in a large warehouse. Don't believe the nasa lies. Research the alive challenger astronauts. They are still alive today, with the same names. Nasa can't be trusted.
Oh wow. my father worked for Singer-Link as well at Wright Patterson.. on the blue arm that spun up the Astronauts to create G forces.
I was 6 when man landed on the moon, was up as well watching history.

It can't be described how shameful and sad it is that people call humanity's greatest achievement fake.

But you must understand that the video we just saw, is a CGI. Not real. In the same way, the television show in 1969, was fake.
@@markuslehtipuu3939 Dude of course video is a CGI isn't it obvious? It is a documentary and every single video on this channel is made by using CGI. Does anyone really think that this video was captured on a moon or the last video on this channel about nuke transportation depicted real nukes?
They also seem oblivious to the fact that there were 6 manned moon landings, not just the one they call faked. So, apparently the first one was not real, and the other 5 didn’t happen at all. Amazing.

The black & white TV camera was stowed on the descent stage in what we called the Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly (MESA). The crew could deploy the MESA prior to going down the ladder, so the TV could record Neil's first steps. The rock boxes were also stowed on the MESA, along with many tools to be used during the EVA. The Portable Life Support Sytem (PLSS) worn during the EVA's were discarded to make room inside the LM for the rock boxes to be brought back to earth. The Astronauts were not messy - every item left on the moon was pre-planned to ensure a safe liftoff in the LM ascent stage - every pound left on the moon gave us a little more run time for the LM ascent rocket engine.
very helpful comment....i was just thinking how they captured mans first steps on the moon after setting up a camera lol
The first thing you saw Neil do after going down the ladder was going over to the camera and disconnecting it to put farther out on a stand.
On Apollo 12 the astronaut tried to point it at the earth before putting it on the stand so we on earth could look at ourselves and got a blip of direct intense sunlight in the lens and fried it.
Did you notice the spacesuit boot overlays which were alleged to be tossed out of the lunar lander before lift off from the lunar surface

If it recorded footage of the first steps on the moon, how did the camera get setup so far away?
Armstrong took it from the MESA (where it recorded the first steps) and mounted it to a tripod, and carried it to its final spot where it took video of the rest of the moonwalk.
@@rockethead7 That makes sense. You can tell in the footage that it's mounted on the craft. I didn't mean to imply Kubrick put it there.

Watched as a 7 year old in extreme rapture. TV was grainy back then so everything looked about as good as you'd expect.
Perhaps one day in the distant future, a museum will be created around this landing spot.
Probably will be Surrounded by Jeff Bezos owned mining rigs. Or a colony of billionaires and multi millionaires moon mansions owned by Elon Musk.

I was college age at the time of the landing. During the summer months there were 8-12 of us that would travel the state on weekends. One of trips was to Tri-Cites for the Atomic Cup which had hydroplanes race on the Columbia River. The PA system broadcasted the landing and 250,000 hydroplane fans erupted in cheers, hugs, and back pats. We hurried home after the final race and watched Armstrong step off the ladder and onto the moon. When I returned to college that fall, a friend showed me a photo he took of his TV screen of the first steps. I was in awe of his B&W 8x10. I wished I had done the same.

Great achievement? More like a great hoax!
It’s so cool that this vid was released during the 50 year anniversary of the Apollo 17 lunar stay. For those who don’t know, Apollo 17 was the final human mission to the moon. It carried former Navy fighter pilot Eugene Cernan and Geologist Harrison “Jack” Schmitt (the only geologist to walk on the moon.) The last human being to set foot on the moon was Gene Cernan on Dec 13, 1972 and the LM “Challanger” lifted off the moon on Dec 14 to rejoin Ronald Evans in the CM “America”. There’s a pretty cool video of the liftoff as seen by the Rover camera that I highly recommend you watch if you haven’t already seen.
They left a plaque on the Descent Stage similar to the one on Apollo 11. The one on 17 says: “Here Man completed his first explorations of the Moon. December 1972 A.D. May the spirit of peace in which we came be reflected in the lives of all mankind.” The last words spoken on the moon by Gene Cernan were “And as we leave the moon at Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came... and God willing as we shall return... with Peace, and Hope, for all mankind.”
"Jack” Schmitt (the only geologist to walk on the moon.)" Yes, which was a big mistake, there should have been several geologists except perhaps on Apollo 11.
@@rigolonzinbrin Agreed. Actually, they were lucky to even have Schmitt. As it was, he had been scheduled for the cancelled Apollo 18 mission. They had to swap him out with Joe Engle.

@@stephenpage-murray7226 I'm confused. I thought the telemetry tapes were lost and that the Sotheby's tapes were copies made for broadcasting purposes. Quote: "Some of the media coverage leading up to Sotheby's sale conflated [Gary] George's tapes, which contain footage converted for TV broadcast, with the telemetry tapes that NASA was unable to find in a highly-publicized 2005 search. The confusion resulted in the space agency issuing a statement before the auction that said, in part, that the tapes up for bid "contain no material that hasn't been preserved at NASA."

Approximately five minutes before Armstrong took his first historic step, Aldrin handed Armstrong a white bag, full of detritus from food wrappers to containers of human waste. Armstrong dropped the jett bag to the surface, before even making the historic first step.
ironically, the very first photograph that Neil Armstrong took on the moon featured the garbage bag prominently in the foreground.
It’s unclear why Neil Armstrong caught the garbage bag on his Hasselblad camera, but it might have been a test picture of some sort. In any case, he realized his artistic mishap and kicked the bag under the Lunar Module.

I can't imagine those flags lasted more than a couple years up there. The UV is very intense and the nylon would break down much more quickly than here on earth
True about the UV. But there is no atmosphere, so no oxidation or micro-organisms to break down the fibres. There are LRO photos of the sites, where you can see the shadow from the flag move from one photo to another due to the angle of the sun changing. Here is a quote about what LRO found: "From the LROC images it is now certain that the American flags are still standing and casting shadows at all of the sites, except Apollo 11. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin reported that the flag was blown over by the exhaust from the ascent engine during liftoff of Apollo 11, and it looks like he was correct!" End of quote.
It has been speculated that the flags would lose its colors and be totally white now.
It’s in space it won’t break down lol

In Andy Weir's book "Artemis" the Apollo 11 site is a preserved historic site on the moon. It even has a Visitor Center. Visitors take a half hour "train" ride from the Lunar Base to visit it. Perhaps one day, that will be true.

very interesting video, I was not aware of all these objects that was left on the moon. How else did all that stuff get there, we left it there.
The Oxygen Purge Systems (OPS) that were attached to the top of the Portable Life Support System (PLSS) backpacks were removed and kept aboard Eagle during the ascent. This was done in case the astronauts had to go EVA to get back into the Command Module if there were an issue with the docking hatch. In later missions, the Command Module Pilot would use one of the OPS units to perform an EVA to retrieve film cartridges from the Service Module.
Michael, I worked for a year to get Rockwell to install handrails on both the LM and the Command Module, just to do what you mention - i.e. to go around outside in case the docking mechanisms, which must be removed from the tunnel to permit the crew to crawl back to the CSM from the LM, were damaged and could not be removed from the tunnel. We learned on Gemini that handrails were the simplest and most efficient way of manually controlling yourself during EVA. Since the Apollo spacecrafts were being designed and built during the Gemini program, their design was complete, and we had to convince every Apollo subsystem manager that our handrails wouldn't damage his system ! The first unmanned Apollo mission in earth orbit ended with the handrails on the command module re-entering in perfect shape, much to the approval of the swimmers in the water, who now had rails to hold onto when they swam up the the spacecraft to assist the crew in their exit. We tested them with the crew on Apollo 9 in earth orbit, and thankfully never had to use the in lunar orbit, since the docking hardware, a probe and a drogue, were easily removed by the crew on each of the 6 missions in which the LM and CSM docked in lunar orbit.
A fascinating insight. It's amazing that these days we can be getting input from a person with such first hand knowledge.
I'd never realised there was the option to go around the outside! I hadn't even put together the fact that both craft had two hatches.
The original idea was that the forward hatch would also be for docking too. Then the LM as the "active" spacecraft during rendezvous would just fly straight up to the CM and dock. If there was an issue, they could use the top hatch. But those docking adapters take up weight and it was decided to just make the forward hatch strictly for EVA.@@alanm8932
Thanks for sharing that! Another unsung hero! @@frankparker5760
@@alanm8932 There was a lot of back ups or redundancy on a mission of that scope. There had to be. Apollo 13 was proof of that.
I find it very impressive that even though they were politically opposed at that time, the astronauts still had a sense of commonality with the astronauts of the other nation. This can also be seen, for example, in the fact that not only a medal for the Apollo 1 astronauts, but also medals for Gagarin and Komarov were left on the moon to commemorate all those who gave their lives for space exploration. And I'm sure the Russians also have similar respect for their American colleagues.
There’s also the Fallen Astronaut tribute left by the Apollo 15 crew. Small sculpture and a plague naming all astronauts who had died in the pursuit.
There’s a few names missing as we hadn’t learned about them yet though

Why cgi and not real pictures?
@@bighornriverpaul omg
@@bighornriverpaul Why CGI and not real pictures? Let me try and address that question. This is just a guess, a stab in the dark and only my personal view you understand... Its pure speculation on my part but, I assume 'NEO', this channels author, is just a RUclipsr of limited financial means. I am quite sure that if this channels uploader had access to roughly $11.75 Billion he would have financed the development of a rocket propelled system that would have allowed him to transport an equally expensive remote control drone type camera device approximately 250,000 miles to the Moon and return it over the same distance to Earth. I further assume that this RUclipsr would have figured a way to land the returning spacecraft in his back garden, as those aircraft carriers and the accompanying naval fleet that retrieve returning spacecraft in the mid Pacific Ocean are bloody expensive! I am sorry that the producer of this 9.31 minute RUclips video didn't satisfy you by going just 'That Extra Mile', but I'm sure that now I have outlined the monetary constraints it would have imposed, why he/she opted for the CGI option.
No, it's not a TV remote which will start working after you swap batteries 😀, the equipments would have suffered significant decay.

Hey, public, look and listen these deceived souls, who try to go on a light ball (moon) to look for A LIES.
Landing on the moon was such an amazing feat. A combination of the technology created during WWII, the brilliance of that German rocket designer, an army of intelligent people, insane budgets, a dash of luck and sheer determination.
Most people have no idea how insane the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo budgets were. In the 60s, American GNP was greater than the sum of the next 12 richest nations, because we were the ONLY major power to come out of WWII with our infrastructure intact. The 4% of the annual budget that America spent on space was at least half the annual budget of any other nation, including the USSR.
@@marksprague1280 yes, exactly. When I visited Cape Canaveral I asked how the US achieved all these amazing things in space. The reply was "lots of money and lots of people!" But it was only possible with these insane budgets. That's why we haven't been back to the moon. It's not worth the cost since we've already been there. Hehe
@@visualonestudio Frankly, it makes no sense to spend a billion dollars to send two men on a 3 day sightseeing trip when the advances on robotics make it possible to send a probe that can perform the same functions indefinitely for a fraction of the cost. Before we send men to the moon and beyond, we need to be able to establish self-supporting habitats -- something that we have thus far been unable to do.
Very nice work
Outstanding video! I still get goosebumps 53 years after Apollo 11 blazed this fantastic trail. Seeing what was left by these brave, exceptional men is breathtaking when one considers what it took to get there and back.

A big factor that they didn't capture in the video is that the large door on the bottom left side of the LM should be open. That was called the MESA. They had experiments, equipment and the camera that broadcast Neil's first step on the moon in there. Later they moved the camera onto the tripod set further away, so that we and mission control could watch both astronauts work on the moon.

The live video was an incredible Public Relations coup. But the real reason for the live video was to allow mission control to observe the mission and get the astronauts to do more in the little time they had. Collect more moon rocks, set up experiment packages more precisely etc. A team of geologists could observe and direct which samples to collect and which to photograph for example.

1. Spaceship lands.
2. Neil Armstrong descends ladder, video shot by camera attached to spacecraft. Camera is close and tilted to the left. Very little of spacecraft fits in frame.
3. Neil Armstrong removes camera places it on a tripod, walks 30 feet and sets camera down (all recorded on video btw) Camera is level and can view the whole spacecraft.
4. 50+ years later, some guy makes video about the place every thing was left at departure.
5. Conspiracy theorists ask: How could the camera get there for the first steps? I've done nothing to find out, but still can't find out! How can it be?
there are probably two cameras
@@LuekSams There were 5 total. But only one video camera. The rest were still photo, and movie cameras that used film.
But again, the sequence above is recorded on video. You can simply watch it happen. It's hard to imagine why people can't grasp the camera being used in 2 different places 30 feet apart.
The logic and evolution of space exploration:
1) First Satellite -> satellites are still running, including the GPS satellites.
2) First Man in Space -> People still fly in space.
3) First Rover -> Rovers and other space vehicles are still sent to the Moon. The latest example of the Chinese Chang'e-4 and the Israeli Beresheet Spacecraft.
All of the above has become safer, cheaper and more affordable. This is the logic of the development of any technological process. You can still add mass-effect.
It follows that the Americans have to build at least a base on the moon with the constant presence of man there and walk a man on Mars. This is evolution and logic of events. But Americans haven't flown to the moon in half a century!@@bradleyrex2968

They also left their Hasselblad camera bodies on the surface. (They of course took the film packs with them) They left behind whatever was not needed, to reduce their take off weight as the launch from the moon was pure theory and the last thing they needed was an over weight problem. The launch from the moon though went very well.
Agreed... mostly. The first Apollo launch from the moon was the first manned launch from the moon, but Surveyor 6 was the fist launch from the moon overall. (unless you count Surveyor 3 which sort of bounce launched twice unintentionally.) But in many ways Apollo 11 was not a launch, it was stage separation, which they had practiced twice before with he LM. Once in Earth orbit (Apollo 9), and once in lunar orbit, (Apollo 10). Without an atmosphere, launching from the surface is not much different from stage separation in space.
I think one complete Hasselblad came home. If I recall, it was from Apollo 14. But, don't quote me on that.
They did NOT bring home all film rolls. Conrad accidentally left one roll in the camera on Apollo 12, and it's on the lunar surface still.
EDIT: But, I reread your message, and, yeah, you were only referring to Apollo 11. So... sorry... my info was from other missions, not applicable. But, I'll leave the posting here anyway.

As per NASA's website they also left their suits and breathing tanks and everything to be lighter in weight. My question is how did they do that did they just hold their breath and throw it out the door?
@@toddlenard7602 Every single nutjob conspiracy theory has been explained, ad nauseum.
Sometimes a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, no matter how good your reasoning skills. Take the following question from Gianni Berati in Italy, who writes: "I have read that [Apollo 11 astronauts] Armstrong and Aldrin, after their extravehicular activities on the moon, had to throw off everything superfluous onto the lunar surface, even the lunar suits, in order to get the lunar module (LM) lighter. Is that true? How could they do that without a depressurized LM cabin?"
Berati is correct-the LM cabin did not have a safe area where unclad astronauts could seek refuge from the vacuum when they opened the hatch. Before going outside, they had to first put on spacesuits, then depressurize the entire landing craft. After a moonwalk they reversed the process, only taking off their suits when the LM pressure had been brought back up to normal. The next generation of moon lander will rectify this, adding an airlock as a "mud room" where astronauts can enter and exit while others lounge unprotected inside the craft.
So how did the Apollo astronauts manage to throw their spacesuits overboard? For an answer, the good folks at NASA's history office directed me to the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal, which explains in detail the unceremonious discarding of equipment onto the lunar surface. It turns out Berati is only partly right. The lunar explorers did not ditch the suits themselves, but rather the 84-pound Portable Life Support Systems (PLSS). The PLSS units, worn like backpacks, supplied enough air for four hours on the surface.
Armstrong, standing inside the LM in his space suit, opened two valves to bring the cabin pressure down to zero, then opened the hatch to the outside. The astronauts took the boxy PLSS packages, which they'd detached from their suits, and pitched them out the door with gloved hands (later lunar explorers found it more effective to use their feet).
"We didn't have any problems," Aldrin recalled during a technical debriefing. "I didn't notice you (Neil) had any difficulty giving the packages the heave-ho. I think each PLSS bounced once on the porch before it went down." (The "porch" was a lip of the LM jutting out just outside the hatch.)
Seismic sensors left on the surface by the astronauts even recorded the thumps of the gear hitting the moon. As Mission Control radioed to the two explorers: "We observed your equipment jettison on the TV, and the passive seismic experiment recorded shocks when each PLSS hit the surface" Armstrong responded, "You can't get away with anything anymore, can you?"
Examples of the PLSS gear and an unused Apollo lunar lander can be found at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. The real ones, of course, are now lunar litter.
That was excellent.
Interesting. Thanks.
At first I thought the video was about photos or some kind of media picked by the Artemis I since it recently came back to earth, but still I liked the video it was very detailed. Btw must be cool to take actual photos of those items still up there. 🌝 ❤️
