I don't know how this is the first time I've ever seen this footage and I am very disappointed it took me this long. I always expect it to be serious and heavy for some reason but, hearing and seeing them jump around singing like children that have finally reached the dream they've had since they were children was extremely wholesome & quite hilarious 😅

My all time favorite space mission! Gene was something special

I often think on Cernan's trip back to Earth starting at whatever spot on the Moon he was standing at when he thought 'Time to go.'. There was the walk back to the lunar rover, the drive back to the lunar module, packing up and perhaps a rest. Then the launch of the upper stage up to meet the Apollo spacecraft, moving all the rocks between the lunar module and the spacecraft. The burn to send them back to Earth, the detachment of the service module and hitting the Earth's atmosphere with the heat shield pointing forward. Finally the parachute landing in the sea.

I turned 3 years old on that day. I do seem to recall watching the splash down in the ocean.

Awesome stuff! and now we are going back to the Moon with Artemis! 👍🚀

It's now an official fact that humans have not been to the Moon in 50 years

When I was a teen, I started to doubt if the Moon landings happened. As an adult, I learnt that my doubts were due for the lack of proper Scientific information about the Apollo program, Space and Rocket Engineering. I also blame NASA, for being so secretive with their missions, and their Team being so reluctant to share information with us the common folks. Not a surprise that "deniers" appear.

That Hammer Is Still Up There With Alan Shepards' Golf Ball!! And Gen-O's Family Photo! Apollo Was AMAZING!!

A geologist, someone who knows what a rock looks like, went to the moon on Apollo 17, since astronauts on earlier moon missions had determined that the moon is made of rocks, not cheese.

Have you noticed the videos are all blurry when it comes to the moon landing or the appearance of aliens?

[godspeed]

9:20 When they say the moon has a very thin atmosphere so it cannot trap heat or insulate the surface. There is no wind there, no clouds, no rain, no snow, and no storms.

I dont believe anyone has got more than 300 miles above the earth..

[madcarew]

Aaah..Am I that old???
But after you've hot rodded around a new neibour hood, played golf, kicked a few rocks, had a crisis, had less fatalities than "The A Team"..suppose it was time for a break!!!

[olegen]

I don't want to say anything. Just to express regret that it didn't happen that way. Otherwise, Paradise, or communism, would have come to Earth today. Nothing like it, still worse than 50 years ago.

Humans were on Nevada desert. Correction.

[upgradeiself]

You can tell it's real because it looks so fake.

[flatearthjackal]

Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off 😂

[bardsterfr]
