- Fifty years ago today, Apollo 11 began its voyage into American history. The Saturn V rocket carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 9:32 a.m. on July 16, 1969 - and just four days later, man first set foot on the moon. The moon mission was a milestone in human history. But it was also a groundbreaking moment in broadcast television, as CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite brought the frontier of space to living rooms across America.

@@PhilMargolies Good for you. The comment you are replying to is for people looking for key moments in the video. Why try to gatekeep a video?
@@MrOjeeeee Good point. I've deleted my comments. Thanks.
You forgot Ali McGraw in a paper bikini at 31:19.
I love the astro not boarding. They were out of their space suits onbord, for days on end, but need them on Earth. along with a goldfishbowl on the head, instead of the helmet (smells fishy).
I am SOOOOO glad they included the original news coverage and commercials because it makes watching this feel more 'real' and 'current' ... I can have it on like it were normal TV and imagine that it were 1969. Thanks!
@Michael McKinley it does feel good to know truth B-). ruclips.net/video/7yUPdJOXEES/видео.html
Yea a whole lot of imagining going on here for sure
For added 1969 realism, sit on a bright orange Naugahyde footstool pulled up to within arm's reach of the screen to enable you to quickly adjust the rabbit ears and/or twist the fine tuner if (when) the picture starts fuzzing out, adjust the vertical hold knob if (when) the picture starts rolling, or manually change the channel back and forth between CBS, NBC, and ABC coverage whenever one went to commercial or otherwise got boring.
Might bring you back memories for you! But this was all a lie!
@@auriatedauri8806 The link was taken down!
Thank you, CBS, for including the commercials from the broadcast!
LeAnn Kaattari ,,I agree we didn't get the American ads in the UK so it's super to see it as it was in the States,,, Fantastic,,
@Hurst Olds442 the government then was far more leftist than it is now. Back then people cared about each other instead of posting ignorant comments and hating half the country simply because they have a (D) next to their name.
I loved every one of them. My favorite was the Toil-ess, with the daisy.
The Coffee thanks you for your thanks. But The Coffee doesn't really care. The Coffee is not covfefe. The Coffee simply is.
Ali McGraw at 32:00 swimming in a bikini for some International Paper product. Not weird at all
Eric Sevareid and Walter Cronkite, shoulder to shoulder.....my God, what I wouldn't give to have those two men alive and still in broadcasting, right now!
I have to admire Cronkite. He deeply immersed himself into the technical aspects of the missions. He knew the significance of the moment, his reactions are still palpable to this day.
What a sweet honest emotional moment between Walter and Johnson. I never seen that kind of clarity from Johnson, maybe he was sincere about his caring for humanity after all.
This is an absolute treasure.
I was very blessed to be a young kid whose Dad worked on the space program. We lived in Florida and I got to see an Apollo launch live. I will never forget this amazing feat. It was an exciting time to be growing up dreaming of space. Drank Tang so I could be like the Astronauts ;)
I traded my Tang for a bag of rocks.
I wish news programming was still like this. It feels much more personal and way less sensational.
You mean less personal? News today is a bunch of opinion stories.
And in the 60s, i think they used the audio from the TV broadcast for radio.
I remember that so well! Almost 10 years old, getting up early to watch that launch, then on the 20th, the heat of July evening, watching "Uncle Walter" and Wally cover the landing. Seems like yesterday!
My god, this coverage contains not just launch, it also includes other news, and even TV commercials at that time!! This is so amazing!!😂
My dad was with Boeing at the cape. My family lived in cocoa beach. We were watching the launch in Titusville across the river from the launch pad. No obstructions. Awesome. I was 9 yrs old. I saw many launches, but the moon shot was special. The astronauts later were in a parade through town( no strip joints in those days!) I still have pictures. A piece of history. Thanks pop.
One of the best things I've ever seen on RUclips. Thank you CBS for, not only preserving this incredible broadcast, but posting it for us to enjoy! Bravo!
This is how a broadcaster should sound and act. Cronkite was so eloquent in his delivery and spoke to adults through his broadcasts like they were actually adults.
No agendas, no narcissism, no corruption. Just a good man and a good reporter, who cared about informing the world.
Thank you CBS for putting Cronkite back on the air ❤️
It's awesome hearing that voice again. What a legend.
@FireWithFire But the voice tho
@FireWithFire A Leftist is a humanist and deserves ALL homage.
@If you laugh you sub! - Baloney! Cronkite isn't an icon for only reporting on the Kennedy assassination! Cronkite is probably best known for his coverage of the _Space Age_ , but beyond even that, his journalism career gained momentum in the early years from his field reporting during World War II, to his work anchoring political conventions and elections.
An iconic moment in human history and exploration, nothing less. 50 years later, I still get goosebumps when I see a Saturn V launch.
I was seven years old, with my face glued to our TV set.
Every moment of the launch and landing was so precious to me.
I wish I had perfectly clear memory of every one of those moments.
Wow, here I am 50 years later seeing this for the first time. Amazing, I can only image what it must have been like to watch that live!
I was 8 years old, watched in real time, and I remember it well. Still amazing after all these years.
Awesome!
Yes
Happy Birthday!
jesus is watching the greatest moment that is out-of this world
A momentous occasion for all the ‘ kids ‘ that saw it. Thankyou for all the people of that age that were there for that day. Thankyou for being here and sharing this day together. All the kids from all over the world. We remember. Best wishes everyone x
Thank you CBS for preserving those old AMPEX 2-inch Quad videotapes.
I know what it takes to make a fifty year old videotape still deliver a picture and sound five decades later so I know what an incredible job you did.
The launch of a Saturn V is the single most incredible thing I've seen in spaceflight. The power/flames/sound. God Bless America.
How can anyone give this a thumbs down? What an amazing event! Thank you, CBS, for bringing back the memories!
Journalists in those days were so much more erudite, so much more literate and philosophical. Their reports are even lyrical. They were well read.
Now imagine what they will say in 50 about today's journalists...
millennial generation is a return to the dark ages
I was 12 years old. For some reason this was emotional for me to watch.
Thank you CBS for rebroadcasting the entire Apollo 11 mission! Amazing coverage of an historic moment for mankind! Can't wait for the rebroadcast of the landing!
Fordham Donnington I hope they do that.
If you like this you should check out Apolloinrealtime.com it has gathered all the audio, pictures and videos from the crew and MSC in Houston and strings it all together into an awesome website.
@If you laugh you sub! you again spreading your trash? What a troll. Don't tell others to grow up until you do.
If you laugh you sub! Lmao this was the 60s you’d be able to tell if it was a green screen
Youre an idiot if you believe this. I made an ointment that would grow hair back. But i destroyed it. And to make it again would be a very painful process
I miss Walter's delivery. Pure class.
Denise Baker - He was good, but I liked David Brinkley best.
America was at her best here....Hugs from Canada
You mean german engineers ?
@Velocinox I read somewhere that German spies broke into Goddard's lab and photographed biueprints and equipment.
Yeah, I like that great American spirit "if you can't make it, fake it".
@Southeastern777 I'm pretty sure my accomplishments are greater than your. But regarding my comment, it's not disrespect. It's just what happened. I don't even blame it on NASA. They were ordered to do something that was impossible at that time (and still is). Sending humans is not the same as sending robots. Nobody has ever managed to send a squirrel and return it alive, let alone a human. No reptilian, mammal or avian has ever been sent to another planet (or moon) and returned alive. In 1960'es or 2010'es. Never. So of course that NASA engineers failed. Not because they were bad engineers, but because it wasn't feasible. Russians didn't do it either. Europeans, nope. Chinese, nope. Japanese, nope.
So I don't disrespect NASA, I'm just saying it was a political game. Politicians asked them to be 99% sure they will send the astronauts there and back. Engineers said "no way, you can get maybe 20%. The only way to guarantee 100% success is if we film it in a studio". And of course the response was: "Make it so".
@Southeastern777 Seems you're the one who has a simple and narrowly focused mind. Good for you.
that was an amazing coverage... thanks for sharing this incredible moment in history!
guillermo verdun I can hear it now
It’s fake the moon landing was faked it’s fake .
I like the American spirit. They knew they can't do it, but at least they tried. And then... another American slogan: "If you can't make it - fake it". Kubrick did it so well that even today, 50 years later, there are still people who believe it really happened. He deserves an Oscar. Oh... wait... he did get an Oscar for special effects. Well done!
Get a clue dude we didn't go anywhere
Walter Cronkhite's delivery takes me back, the trusted deep baritone that America depended on to tell them what was going on in the world.
I got to shake his hand as a young man graduating from a broadcasting vocational school in
Minneapolis because at the time the school was owned by CBS and Walter came to give a talk on the future of the news business. It was only a few years before he retired.
It was a seminal moment in my life.
My parents where good friends with Neil Armstrong's parents. They went fishing together at a resort in Canada for many years. After the Moon landing they gave my parents a copy of the Wapakoneta Daily News. As well as a coffee mug & ashtray, signed by Neil. I will treasure them forever. Sorry not for sale at any price.
One trillion dollars..
He didn't like signing autographs. He wasn't very impressed with himself.
Wow! Thanks for posting this! I was 9 years old at the time, getting ready to turn 10 in August. I was glued to the TV! I just loved the intro music that they did during the Apollo 11 coverage on CBS, and hearing it after 50 years just gave me goosebumps! After all these years, I had never forgotten that eerie little song! Nor the men who walked on the moon! RIP Neil Armstrong! Fly high!
Man! Those commercial sponsors got a great deal. Fifty years of coverage at 1969 ad prices. LOL
They dont even exist anymore
@@wolfchrt
Westinghouse certainly does!
I watched this live, and seeing it now evokes the excitement and anxiety of the moment. Fifty-four years later, the whole experience still seems futuristic. The Saturn-5, soaring through the air, was such a powerful symbol of the US, and of an achievement that no other country could come close to matching at that time.
50 years later... it's STILL the most powerful vehicle ever built by man, and the fastest manned vehicle ever flown.
The SLS just overtook it…I have to say that because I have some pride in that, being a Boeing employee with a related program. 😅
Hey bud ..u just remember it took boeing 49 years to overtake the saturn V. I think that says allot. Boeing helped win ww2 with their b17z and my personal favorite is the b29 .... It was just beautiful, and it looked way ahead of its time .
I was 6 years old. We watched it at school. I will never forget that day.
Mortuary Artist ,,Fab,I was 4 and played with Space toys as I watched it,,the toys long gone but the memories of then are still fresh today,,,this streams a gem,have a great day,
Mortuary Artist we never been to the moon, do your homework, the 7 astronaut are still alive, !
I'm struck by the silent moments during the broadcast. They just let it play out. Today, we'd have 12 "experts" all talking over each other. Some things were better in the past. Hey you kids, get off my lawn!
no, they had experts there. but no, they really weren't better.
Correct, and it isn't even close. 24/7 "news" is especially a disaster in that sense. Today they just keep talking even when they don't have anything to say.
I watched this when I was 5 on a black and white 13 inch tv with rabbit ears. Everywhere you went people were gluded to there tv sets and radios. Growing up in the 60s was great!!!
Just like I remember it, reliving it again today.
Who were the 211 thumbs down? Hard to imagine anyone not appreciating this superb coverage of a historic event.
211 flat earthers
Thank you, CBS! We had the opportunity to "live" July 16, 1969, to feel at least a bit of how was that historic day!
Nobody could call a space launch like Walter.!
Walter Cronkite is the Gold Standard of broadcasting. His demonstration of knowledge, ability to convey it, and emotional control ... has never been surpassed. We will never forget his epic Space Launch broadcasts, or coverage of JFK's assassination, etc..... he was the voice of America.
Absolutely!
My parents took my sister and I to Daytona Beach that week. We stayed at the Pelican Inn to watch the lunch from the beach! Thanks CBS for the memories.
That F1 engine roar puts a lump in my throat. What a breathtaking moment.
THANK YOU so much for allowing me to replay such a happy period of my childhood.......this inspires me just as much (if not MORE) today than it did back then.
This was so cool watching it this morning as a live feed, synced up to exactly 50 years to the minute for this historic event.
And CBS, thank you for this awesome trip back to such an exciting time.
This is just fantastic. Thank you for doing this. I love it all, including the commercials.
Thanks for the Upload!! Greetings from Austria
Thanks to CBS News for streaming this great event in human history. I was a little kid but I remember watching this as it actually happened!
"actually happened"
I was born in 72... Just a little late to see it live...but the men and women who put us on the moon will always be my heroes!!!! Gene Kranz and Gunter Wendt are the first Avengers!!!!!! ... Gods Speed to all the people of the Mercury, Gemini,and Apollo programs.
RESPECT!
Godspeed to Artemis….finally a permanent station orbiting the moon and a permanent base on the moon in order to create energy from the frozen water ice for our launch to Mars 👏👏
Thanks for the color TV coverage - we only had black and white at our house in '69!
Randy Sisto ,,Same here Colour TVs weren't popular back then in UK,,
I remember when we got our first color tv. Came into the kitchen to complain to my mother while I was watching Adam-12...Mom, something is wrong with the tv. What is it? She said....I said the police cars are still BLACK AND WHITE! (she laughed before explaining it to me).
We had color, but I was away in summer camp and was only able to listen on the radio. So this is a first for me.
@@rustyharris9481 I don't get it.
Do you mean black and white police officers? Were the cars black and white back then? Or was it a black and white movie on a colour tv?
@@falafeldurum2095 The TVs were mostly black and white. Color TVs were expensive.
"And that's the way it is, July 16th, 1969..."
It's so weird how I can remember this broadcast at home with my mom - I was 4 years old.
History makers making history, historic journalists capturing history. Layers of great American history. Thank you for the upload.
What a gift, allowing viewers to experience this as it happened fifty years ago! Thanks so much for putting this up, commercials, glitches, and all! A real time capsule.
Soooo nice to see them all from before I was born. I grew up watching Mr. Cronkite EVERY night with my Mom. He was the only National newscaster she would ever watch. The utmost professional 😊.
And I grew up in Ohio. Of course the astronauts changed our history forever. Just awesome. 👍
Most all the other videos from launch morning start at 8:00 am ET and claim to be FULL coverage. This is the first time in years that I have seen the coverage beginning at 6:00 am. This truly is FULL coverage. VERY cool. Thank you.
Yea, thanks for the original broadcast
I read somewhere that in the mid-70s Walter Cronkite had traveled somewhere to cover a political story. He started up a conversation with a local reporter who was also there. He said he envied the local reporter because that man could go anywhere and cover a story with great anonymity. Cronkite said that when he showed up he became the story. That's how it feels here. Cronkite is such an integral part of the Apollo program that it's hard to separate him from the story. But that's why he was so great!
Thank you CBS for posting the original Apollo 11 broadcasts with commercials. The improved clarity of this video compared to clips previously available is noticeable and appreciated. If there was ever a time I was glad for RUclips, it is definitely now!
I love how informative the news used to be. "Here are some facts for you to do with as you please" instead of "Here is how you should think".
Thanx for a Great upload,,I watched this as a child growing up in England,,,wishing everyone a Super celebration on this Special Occasion,,,
Thanks a million for uploading this monumental event in history! And even the commercials ! Great work !
I was 10 years old and clearly remember walking outside the night of the moon walk, looking up at the moon and thinking, "There are guys walking up there right now!" I thank God I lived these moments. And btw, YES, thank you for including the commercials!!!
The 50th anniversary of THE greatest historical event in National Aeronautics and Space Administration history...
I never saw this in real time. I was there in Florida at the Cape for the launch.
Nice!... Was it as loud as they say?
Weird flex, but ok.
One other interesting note about the CBS News bumper for this mission was that Ralph McQuarrie, the artist of Star Wars renown, worked with Jaime for a company named Reel Three, contracted by CBS to produce the bumpers (intros/outros) seen at the top of each hour.
Thank you for this!
Thanks for sharing that important moment
Mankind’s greatest newscaster presenting mankind’s greatest achievement as it occurs. How fitting. When Peter Jennings died we lost our last great tv newsman. But Walter stood head and shoulders above them all. The most trusted man in America. I feel privileged to have born early enough to have watched “Uncle Walter” tell us “And that’s the way it is...”
I kind of wish I was around in 1969 so I could experience this moment live.
I think you'd have been bitterly disappointed.
the commercials and news reports are the best! I DON'T miss, "Hot Hazy & Humid"!!
I wanted to keep watching! More historical coverage of everything please!
100 PERCENT
Thank You, CBS!! So great to experience history by one of the greatest narrators ever! This makes celebrating my 50th birthday this year worth it!! 🤙🏼🚀🌕🎂 (think I'll have a moon pie to commemorate)
This was really lovely and emotional to watch..thanks a lot for posting 👍🏽
1000 Thank CBS for sharing your archive on that amazing journey on a unique era... great that you include the commercial of the time.. Really bring us in that moment in time ..
Walter Conckrite, legendary journalist expert of orbital mechanics and rocket science.
Willy Schirra, the astronaut that throughly tested the Apollo spacecraft, catched a cold in Space and confronted Mission Control to avoid wearing the helmet while returning from orbit.
Eric Sevareid, legendary journalist which described Man and Science with an impromptu, powerful liryc.
Arthur C. Clarke, the British writer and technologist who knew the future and told it in his books.
Great and irrepetible lineup of great men of their time.
This really brought back some memories. I was 14 when this launch took place. I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation.
Fantastic! Like been there that time. Excelent quality. Thanks for sharing.
They were heroes back then - what a generation. Sadly contrasts so glaringly with today. What happened we should be ashamed of ourselves.
What exactly happened? Astronauts are still brave people helping push the borders of human knowledge.
Fantastic! I always enjoy listening to Walter Cronkite - the consummate news professional - attempting to keep his excitement and emotions in check when covering a moon shot.
Amazing coverage... thanks for sharing!
This is BEYOND AMAZING network news footage!! For me, watching this is even more important to me as I a toddler of only 22 months at the time of Apollo 11 and do not remember ANY of it!!! I'm 51, JSYK. But CBS News' coverage of Apollo 11, to me in looking at this re-broadcast, exceeded all known qualitative superlatives of the day. Top-notch indeed!! Thank you lots, CBS News!!!! :) :)
Great idea CBS! It is great to see it after 50 years!
Watched. This as a kid in 69. On a black and white tv with knobs
Amazing footage of the most breathtaking achievement in human history.
The quality of this video is outstanding! Thanks, CBS News.
Excellent video quality, CBS News! Thank you for this back when I was 13, and on this 50th anniversary today. Awaiting with anticipation for July 20th's post. Cheers!
Can barely believe we have the chance to watch this! Incredible
thank you for uploading this CBS
I miss Cronkite. Thanks for this replay.
Arthur Clarke (author of the novel "2001, Space Odyssey") at the moment 3:13:25. Then he was 50 years old.
Thanks for this coverage. Absolutely brilliant. Loved seeing the commercials as well.
God damn I swear these commercials were specifically chosen to be time capsules in and of themselves
Would not surprise me, they all kinda knew this was something people would be watching decades later.
You surpassed my expectations! I was really hoping for a comprehensive DVD release of the live coverage of the flight since I figured the original video tapes had to have been archived. To see the original live coverage with original network commercials is a historian's dream come true. Took several hours to download from the net but was worth the effort. Hope to see similar uplinks of the live coverage of landing and EVA, then the splashdown. Good job CBS!
I remember this TV broadcast very well. I was ten years old in 1969, and no matter what time of day or night space flight coverage came on TV, I was awake and ready for it even if I had to set my alarm. There was no DVR'ing then, and our Internet service was notoriously weak in 1969 (joke, btw), so the choices were watch it on TV live or later wish you had. I had been a little too young to grasp Project Mercury as it was going on, but I jumped on the space bandwagon as the very exciting Gemini missions pushed back the envelope of what we knew about space travel and rehearsed the critical steps that needed to be done in order to reach the moon. In order to do my part, in 1965 or '66 I sent away several box tops or "inner seals" from something, I don't remember what it was, for a sweet plastic snap-together model of a Gemini space capsule. It was probably some kind of cereal or maybe Tang, but certainly not those nasty "Space Food Sticks" which came a few years later. I always had that model in my hand for good luck during TV coverage of Gemini. Walter Cronkite was typically my go-to man for space coverage, but I also liked David Brinkley on NBC. Frank Reynolds was also great on ABC, however our rabbit ears always had a difficult time clearly picking up the local ABC affiliate. Maybe we needed more aluminum foil crumpled around the ends of the "ears". Anyway, I didn't realize it back then, but that was a great time to be a kid. In fact, IMHO, being a kid in the '60s, a teen in the '70s, and a 20-something in the '80s was like hitting the "great time to be alive" trifecta.
I’m feeling really emotional after 50 years
I was 3 years old and my brother 6 years old at the time. I probably don't remember as I was very young. Very impressive to watch that giant rocket blast off into space. Incredible machine it was.
Oh, goodness. I was a mere 11 days old! To see this in real time is marvelous!
I was 14, watched every moment, just spellbound.
