To The Moon - From Dream To Reality

Between 1969 and 1972 twelve men walked on the surface of the moon. It was seen as the first chapter in an ambitious program of space exploration.

I was there, I worked on the throttle control of the Descent engine final testing !

people who say this is fake is mocking the blood, tear, and sweat of all the engineers, technician, and all staff of this program.

Watched Apollo 11 launch as a schoolboy at Woomera Rocket Range in South Australia. Less than 7 years later I was a shift tech at Orroral Valley tracking station outside Canberra and we supported the multiple ALSEP experiments installed on the lunar surface by Apollo astronauts.

All the men from Mercury, Gemini and Apollo are some of my greatest heroes. They're the greatest pilots to ever live to alot of people... They certainly are in my book. The Crew of Apollo One will always hold a special place in my heart as well. I'm so grateful for their efforts aswell as all the Astronauts during that time.

One of the better telling docs about going to the moon. Lots of nice high quality footage I never saw (or cannot remeber having seen before...). Thanks NASA for painstakingly filming everything!

[clarencespears]

Outstanding presentation
Well-researched and put together
Includes rare video footage

[cronistamundano]

To me the Gemini program is underrated. And because they had a enournous test schedule and was a mission full of firsts Apollo 9 is also underrated

[asifansari]

I was in high school, in Lahore, Pakistan...I watched the landing in news...I still have my diary entry on this event

Thank you for putting this up. I'm 71 & I watched all of this on my grandparents B/W TV back then in NC. Besides Apollo 11 I don't remember details. Now retired in N. Florida I have been to two Shuttle launches & only can dream of what it was like to watch some of the first manned rocket launches. Shalom

The amount of brain rot and lack of critical thinking in this comment section is astounding

[MoesDavis]

Wow thank you for uploading. While it seemed intermidable, it was relatively comprehensive as well.

Best documentary so far.

58:20 I've always said that this is one of the most important photographs in human history, taken at a time of incredible instability on our fragile Earth..

[gilbertnf]

I like how music change from USSR to US mood!

Most people referred to the progroam as "Gem en eee" even though most people say "Gem en eye". It's been said that the German engineers would say "Gem en ee" and the name stayed that way during thoughs days. Also, at 1:16:03 I believe that's Neil Armstrong's Omega Speedmaster that he's wearing on his left wrist. He never wore it on the moon, so Buzz Aldrin was the first person to wear his Speedmaster watch on the moon. It's been said that Neil left his watch hanging on the instrument panel because the built-in clock on the panel stopped working.

Project Apollo is still the most amazing memory if my teenage years & probably America's greatest achievement. They changed history in a way that will be remembered 500, even 1000 years in the future - people will still remember that Neil & Buzz walking on the moon in 1969.

thank you so much for your true reporting, science, and generosity

The narrator says at 3:38 "Coast-to-coast, citizens were watching" the failed Vanguard launch of December 6, 1957. In fact, the launch was not televised live. An article on page 76 of the December 16, 1957 issue of the magazine "Broadcasting" says, "WTVT (TV) Tampa-St. Petersburg, Fla. aired 400 feet of film of the explosion of the Vanguard missile one hour and 50 minutes after the earth satellite burst into flames Dec. 6 at Cape Canaveral, Fla., 110 miles from the station. Roger Sharp, a WTVT newscaster, and a 2-man camera crew...covered the explosion from four miles away and rushed the film to WTVT by chartered plane. WTVT supplied prints for stations in New York, Oklahoma City, New Orleans, Montgomery, Louisville and Miami in time for newscasts that same day."

"he flew over South America at night"
It is suspicious but not strong evidence unless combined with other inconsistencies. Gagarin was not a geographer and may have confused one mountain for another.

These moon landing deniers are nuts. 😂

[ronaldgarrison]

It appears that, for an astronaut, having drama with Mission Control is especially bad for your career, as illustrated by Mercury-Atlas 7 and Apollo 7.
