The Untold Side of the Apollo Program | When We Were Apollo |Apollo Mission Documentaries

Some names are synonymous with the Apollo Missions - Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell. This documentary takes an intimate and personal look at the memories and experiences of nineteen individuals key to the Apollo Programme, unsung heroes and each every one. Working among a total workforce of over 400,000 people, they gives some insight to the true experience of working on one of history's most momentous challenges.

Proud of my dad who worked so hard on this program from 1957-1972, in Florida and then at Redstone Aresenal.

First, this film is magnificent. I was old enough to watch, and appreciate, the entire Apollo programme. Most of my summer of '71 was sat in front of the family basement, watching Scott, Irwin and Worden went there, and back again. The mood that July was not as prinstinely hopeful as the interviewees, made up of all the support folks who made contributions that were as much fuel for the ships as the stuff in the tanks sitting at -259°F. People were distracted by Vietnam, the civil unrest that had characterised the previous years continued its relentless pace. Those of us who understood that Apollo, just 24 years after the end of the 2nd World War, lofted people into the heavens, experiencing for the first time the experience of another world's gravity well. And, we knew there were still 2 to go!
There's been 'Hidden Figures' a film that I, criminally, have not seen. But, the folks on this movie are the authentic folks whom actors played on screen screen. As such, these 'unsung heros' finally have the opera to portray their feats for our appreciation and remembrance. Yes, I liked this movie doc very much. I think I will watch it again. Give it a go!

I watched one from Titusville at night. When it lit up it turned into day.

3:20ish he said "streets ahead" Pierce Hawthorne would be sooo stoked

[bleedingeyeball]

11:40... very good documentary, but that's St. Augustine.... not Titusville... US1 and the bridge of lions.

I aimed for the stars, but missed and hit London and Antwerp

The potential and kinetic energy of a 5 486 kg Apollo module at 100 000 m altitude and 11 200 m/s velocity is 5 486*(100 000*9.8 + (11 200)²/2) = 349 458 200 kJ.

The potential and kinetic energy of the same 5 486 kg Apollo module at say 15 000 m altitude and 350 m/s velocity is 5 486*(15.000*9.8 + (350)²/2) = 1 142 560 kJ.

The difference 348 315 640 kJ has been absorbed one way or another by the heat shield AVCOAT.

If such AVCOAT can absorb 418 680.0 kJ/kg before getting vaporized, it seems you need 832 kg of AVCOAT in the Apollo heat shield. To be on the safe side, you need say 2 400 kg, but then 44% of the module is AVCOAT and there is no space for any human heroes

I think they should send a rover like they did to mars so it can drive around and film all the things we left on the moon, the bottom of the lunar module the flags the footprints the experiments package like the laser reflector, just so it will shut up all the flat earthers and nutjobs who say it never happened . at least we have. the ARTEMIS mission and im hoping they bring better cameras 🎥 to the moon this time !

Our Germans beat Russian Germans to the moon.

Not one man has left LEO in 50 years (come December 2022)..

[rodgerrodger]

We couldn't do it today. Not with the the lazy, crybaby, I can't do this, I need a break, I can't work, I don't know how to work with others, I only think of myself, I've never been a part of a team, I need to have a social media break, I need a safe place, he looked at me funny, It's not in my job description, he harassed me by eating that taco in a improper manner, I need a week off to get my head together....blah, blah, blah...

[davidmusser]

If this shit were real, it would be way more popular.

[ericephemetherson]

No man had ever walked on the Moon. I repeat: there was no human on the Moon, ever ! ! !

[ivandelabanque]

Man never set foot on the moon surface..

[sharronsorsky]

The boffins say the Moon's gravity at the surface is only 17 percent that of Earth's. Using the same force of a jump on Earth, you could rise about 3 metres (10 feet) off the ground and stay in the air for about 4 seconds with a spacsuit, when the astronauts jumped on the moon it was 2ft same as earth Thats why I believe we never went to the moon
