The more I learn, the more amazed I am by this mission. Mind numbingly complex, pages and pages of procedures all of which had to be executed to perfection. The impeccable landing just 20 seconds before fuel loss. I’m just in awe at what NASA accomplished in 1969.
In 1969, I was 12 watching this live on a very small black and white TV. It was difficult to visualize what was happening with the fuzziness of the reception out where we lived and my unfamiliarity with the details of the spacecraft. These videos fill in a lot of gaps and how they operated in that space. You also bring home just how claustrophobic it was, making it something I'd never have been able to do. Much admiration and thanks to you for your obvious hard work and skill.
Thanks for your comments. And a lot of what you said is what inspired me to put these together. While I will agree that it looks claustrophobic wearing space suits in a 1 G environment, with space suits off in 0 G and with at least one couch folded up, you have quite a lot of space.
I love and appreciate that check list audio starting with "engine stop, ok, ACA out of detent...." at 14:29. For whatever reason that audio was muted for decades, making the landing audio sound like "contact light...engine stop.....Houston, Tranquility Base here," leading to the popular myth that the first word spoken from the moon surface was "Houston." I've watched scores of landing videos and almost all skip that checklist. Even many that include it, mangle it, cutting it off early or even calling some of it out of order. Only some very small percentage of Apollo 11 landing videos include that checklist. So odd that something with such historic significance would be so often mangled and so seldom done right. Thanks!
Armstrong had to reset the ACA to the new post-landing attitude by taking the stick out of it's centre detent and letting it return . ACA = Attitude Control Assembly.
1201 alarms. 1202 alarm. If you look into those, you will realize how smart these folks actually were to design the self-recovering software that made this all possible.
That moment when the hatch FIRST opens and Neil looks out onto a completely new landscape as the 1st human to ever do it must have been indescribably epic for him.
Amazing! Having watched just about everything Apollo this is by far the best. When they undocked from the CM, even tho Armstrong was a cool cucumber, it had to hit home that this thing is real and the absolute pressure not to screw the pooch.
Thanks for watching. I assume you saw part 1 and 3 also. And if you liked my A11 series, please take a look at my A15 series: ruclips.net/video/kYHl42M2I2w/видео.htmlsi=PnZwZMCjlOnDwcXJ ruclips.net/video/VlJspdHEYAs/видео.htmlsi=bAzdJbKdEJh4kgC- ruclips.net/video/Ikb31QY7aRI/видео.htmlsi=jFenBFCfgyM8pFfB
Well, that was absolutely amazing! Thanks for all the work you put into this. You brought it alive. Brings back so many memories. Incredible days and wonderful to relive them through this vid. Many, many thanks!
I was 18. Dad was career NASA. Started with Mercury. I grew up walking around Glenn Research (formerly Lewis) seeing all the tech. Dad was so humble….”it’s just Newtonian physics, son, don’t sleep through Physics class.”
Wow! I've seen every bit of footage available on Apollo but this CG gives the best possible view of each craft's environment and layout. I can finally see exactly where and how all the controls, hatches, floors and walls intersect all the way to what view you get out of each window. I especially liked the view through a LM window from a CM window. Will watch the next parts too, but had to comment.
Thanks for watching and for your comments! As the series progressed, I kept adding detail to both the interior and exterior. The Translunar Coast video has the most detail of the Apollo 11 series. If you have not seen it, I also have a Skylab series. And I currently have an Apollo 15 series in work (parts 1 and 2 on RUclips now. My Apollo 15 series has much more LM external detail than my Apollo 11 series.
Honored to be your 100th commenter. This is simply fantastic! The detail is outrageous. Makes me want to learn blender as this had to be fun to make. Thanks for putting in such time, you really brought this amazing moment to life!
Thanks for noticing! I have a new video coming out later this year. I have taken the time to put a lot more detail into the spacecraft and launch site. So it is taking me a while to put it together.
Expected to see the contact with regolith around 14:20... The "contact light" callout sends shivers down my spine. The LM probe touching the Moon deserves focus as much as the first step on the Moon.
Thanks much for your comment. When I get stuck trying to make something look convincing, I try a different camera shot instead. In this case, I purposely left all 3 probes off the legs because I di not really know how to model them getting all bent and distorted during landing. With that said, please take a look at my part 2 with extended scenes where I show the landing several times in a row Fromm different angles. The link is in the description to this video. Let me know what you think after seeing that video.
That was delightful to watch, thanks for sharing. Lovely work. You obviously spent a lot of time to get the detail right. I wish to provide some feedback, as I know you care about detail. at 18.31 Neil is climbing down the LM ladder. Quadrant 4 should be deployed as it contained the Modularized Equipment Storage Assembly (MESA). For Apollo 11 it contained the camera which captured Neil Armstrong's first step on the Moon. Thanks for an excellent video series.
Yes---you are correct. Please take a look at my Apollo 15 video where I correct this (and of course A15 had a different MESA than A11: ruclips.net/video/VlJspdHEYAs/видео.htmlsi=YCqbcW7U_ADyjICC
I was twelve years old when my mother, brother and I watched the Apollo 11 launch from just outside Cape Kennedy. It was loud even though we were probably 4 or 5 miles from the Saturn V booster as it cleared the tower. We watched the broadcast on a black and white television set in a motel room somewhere in Florida (we drove down to Key West during the mission). We lived in New Orleans so I went on a school field trip to Michoud to see where and how the Saturn V was made... Years later I was working doing laser shows and did one in the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville where I projected laser and video graphics on the side of one of the left over Saturn Vs. I got to climb around the rocket and was saddened by its condition (it was rusting outside before they refurbished it and built a building around it). During our evacuation from New Orleans post Katrina we toured the Johnson Space Center control room that was used during Apollo 11. I'm 67 years old now and on my bucket list is to go and watch a Space X Starship launch in person. Oh, I also saw a SpaceX dragon re-entry that landed in the Gulf of Mexico... it resembled a meteor as it flew across the night sky shedding ablative material from its heat shield
Thanks for watching and your comment. If you liked my A11 series, please take a look at my A15 series which has more detail and shows the unfolding of the Rover and ALSEP deployment.
Thanks! There are 2 other parts if you have not seen them. If you click on my blue handle (@opieswenson) or on my icon, it will take you to all my videos.
I also have to wonder….after they said “The Eagle has landed” did Armstrong & Aldrin turn off the mics and just let out a Hoopla, “We made it!!!” Seriously.
Tremendous detail. As a kid I was always fascinated by the animations and simulations the TV networks created for the missions. Sadly those creations today are held up by contrarians as proof the moon landings never happened.
Again, amazing quality on this clip. Are the ĺegs on the landing stage of the LEM spring loaded or gas activated. Thanks for your amazing work. Regards from Ireland
It was the missing part compared to the previous video, the incredible coupling of the eagle module and the services module. This is historic and epic in the present day. I know a magician shouldn't reveal his secrets, I don't know how it was done so precisely. 😃😃😃
Thanks for your comments. There is a part 3 if you have not seen it. And no magic was done. Just using Blender (you can download it free on Mac or PC). I reference lots of online drawings, and photos. In the process of doing a more detailed tour inside the docked spacecraft so that you can read every panel.
Yes. But they did not shut off the engines, they lit up the contact light at which time the astronauts hit the big button to kill the engine. Please see my later video of Apollo 15 where I added a whole lot more features to the LM (probes, radar, working gauges, astronauts, Mesa, Rover, etc: Here is part 1:ruclips.net/video/kYHl42M2I2w/видео.htmlsi=tUqMNPZVRxpdhHyV
At 8:05, the wrong LM Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters are firing. Those shown would have increased the LM roll, not stop it. It's a very minor error and otherwise, it was a pretty accurate video in my estimation.
[12/01/22] Beautiful work. I haven't used Blender, but I have to believe that putting this together was a lot of work. Where did you get all the information regarding the switch gear, the labeling, and all the dimensions to properly size everything in both space craft?
Thanks. There are many sites online with pictures and schematics. There is also a lot of NASA documentation online like the operating manual and systems manuals. The instrument panel diagrams are easy to find and they are also in the operating manual. The most difficult thing to get hold of were command module placards and decals. Lots of looking through pictures online. The Smithsonian also has a 3d tour inside the command module but many of the decals and placards you can not read.
You can get a lot of audio and transcripts from NASA: www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/a11.html Also there is another site that has all audio, pictures and video in real time: apolloinrealtime.org Of note, there are several who have mentioned "where is the time lag in audio?" The time lag is only between cap com and the astronauts. No perceived timely between the 2 spacecraft talking to each other and no time lag when the flight control team is talking to each other. In my audio, I have also included the flight director loop, which the astronauts would no hear.
The Apollo 11 series was my first animations. Please see my Apollo 15 series.

When the astronauts depressurization the spacecraft, they are already wearing their spacesuits. When they get out, they are wearing the PLSS (portable life support system) that supplies oxygen and cooling water plus scrubs carbon dioxide. Prior to launching from the moon, they wear their spacesuits and plug the hoses into the spacecraft. Then depressurization the spacecraft for the last time to throw all the trash out including the 2 backpacks (84 lbs each earth weight)

@@jameswilson5230 It's filled, just like you said. From oxygen tanks onboard. I guess we're being shown the control panel for repressurization at 17:03.
With the sun's position it is very early morning. The missions were designed to have lots of shadows so they could pick out the rocks and boulders during landing. And yes...for the most part, you and your camera would have a difficult time seeing the starts due to the very bright sunlight
As I said before, this never gets old. I still get goosebumps 53 years later.
