Apollo 11 - Day 4 (Full Mission)

Apollo 11 - Day 4 (Full Mission)

19th July 1969 - The video starts at GET 61h 39m. The day includes the "computational" change over to the moons sphere of influence, LOI-1 and LOI-2 as well as a TV transmission from lunar orbit and a checkout of the LM systems in preperation for the lunar landing the day after. The video ends at GET 87h 41m.

The Full Mission Series Production - An Explanation of the Process

Production began in February 2018 with the intention of release on the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11's launch day (subsequently the pre and post flight press conferences were added). Each video took between 1 and 3 months to produce. Full Mission videos start with editing of the available audio for that particular day, sometimes split bewteen 3 tracks of audio (air to ground/flight directors loop/crew onboard tape). Once that process is completed the available TV transmissions or other associated video is positioned along with 16mm film taken by the crew. Photographs are placed in the mission timeline aprroximately near to where there were taken in the mission. Captions are then added to give pertinent information. The gaps that are left visually are filled with screen captures of the spacecraft from the Orbiter Space Simulator. Positions of spacecraft are approximated to what would have been seen on the mission, but during TLI, CSM RCS and SPS burns (LOI etc) the orientation is as near as I can get it to the actual (with sage advice from RW). Once these screen captures are in place the Apollo Guidence Computer (Virtual AGC) screens are captured. This involves setting the AGC time to the PAO announcements during the flight, screen capturing them and then transferring them to the timeline. Finally the title sequences are added.

Final editing of the whole video takes place with a run-through of the whole thing before the render of the video. Video sizes vary from 4 to 24gb.

As always, all proceeds will go to investing in the channel content and future projects. Thanks in advance LM5

“Hey, moon! How’s your ol” backside?” Mike Collins was priceless...

[saxo]

The sound of the mission control audio and the crew just never gets old for me :)

[LordHeath]

I can't begin to imagine the feeling of claustrophobia, the immense focus and concentration required for a mission like this. The fear of the unknown, possible death, the adrenaline of being on the moon. I just can't imagine it. My little brain cannot compute it all!

[crewsgiles]

I was nine at the time, and knew quite a bit; but over fifty years of reading and study later, makes listening to these recordings— especially the internal recordings from the far side— a valuable experience.

I have been listening while driving for several days, but only now realize the video information is equally excellent. Sequentially going through the film magazines.

The perfect archive.

Thank you.

Now I fully understand the need for Apollo 10. Backing the CSM+LM into Lunar orbit is not an everyday event.

[nanrowland]

Reading Mike Collins book along side this! His comments crack me up!

[saywhat]

I can't be the only person who gets nervous when a cryo heater or fan is switched on.

3:56:26 - Armstrong's heartrate is 107, Collins is 66, and Aldrin's is 70. Someone is starting to feel the pressure.

[vincef.]

LM5, you did such a damn good job I feel like I'm riding along with the guys!

[olentangy]

I love hearing the onboard tapes of the LOI and the the conversationof the three. "Look at that"! Love it.

1:25:24
Collins- All your electricals look ok over there Buzz?
Buzz: we’ll I’m not gonna look at em.
Collins: probably a good rule

"There it is, it's comin' up!"
"What?"
"The Earth."

So fortunate to have been growing up during the time of Apollo.

I love the sounds of music in the cabin from someone's little tape player.

[jimhowaniec]

it was incredible fifty years ago when i was 10 years old. it is no less astounding today, 50 years later.

[henrivanbemmel]

Thank you very much for this video and so many of the others (other missions) you have made. I feel that this work is historically important and I respect the work you do to make it happen! Sincerely Henri

[Peyethon]

I was listening to the morning news and thought “wow, nothing could bring the world like this” I hope everyone is just as excited when Artemis lands on the moon for the first time

[faktisletztenendes]

Though the background noises wrecked my nerves: It's worth to watch every single split of a sec. Beautiful!

Oh, and just btw: Can you imagine how much Collins, Aldrin, Armstrong and the whole NASA must laugh about ppl still maintaining there was no Moon landing? 😂

[flashfast]

You always post the greatest vids Lunarmodule5. Please never stop...

[CTaylor]

That quote on the LOI tape of "Hello moon...Hows your ol backside" was a classic :)
