Apollo 11: Live from the Moon I How the Moon landing broadcast worked

In 1969 Apollo 11 became the first manned space craft to land on the Moon. The amazing feat was broadcast to millions of people across the United Kingdom and Europe from the Goonhilly Earth Station on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Pip Greenaway was one of the engineers working at Goonhilly Earth Station on that famous night who helped make sure that the broadcast ran smoothly.

So how did the moon landing broadcast work? This videos doesn't answer the question.

[PropsMcFly]

To say they broadcast live from the moon in 1969 to millions of people is just as odd as saying they went to the moon in the first place.

Absolutely hilarious...I work in broadcasting and there is no way the feed was irt but had to be shunted several times. No way a telephone call going to the moon through the nasa system can be recieved here on earth with no delay or any other anomalies. Just too much with the tech they had then.

[ottis]

Wow! Wifi used to be so much better. I can't even use the downstairs bathroom without losing signal

[ruelvillafranca]

I'd make a call to the moon in a nanosecond but the problem is, I don't have the technology to do that anymore, I used to but, ,,,uhm,,, destroyed that technology and it's a painful process to build it back again 😅😂🤣

[dharakis]

why no one will ever land on the moon again.. walt disney is gone and he told us we would in 1955. although he passed away before 1969. ΑΩ

[HUMANDATA]

So who placed the first active CAMERA outside the capsule to capture BUZZ when he took the First Steps on the MOON???

[dcoolcat]

Where did they get that much power on the moon to broadcast that far?

[detpak]

Yea right. They made low 🌎 orbit. That's it. Broadcast from studio set.

[mohammedzakariaali]

We can’t even get a signal on a plane and you expect us to believe we got signal from the moon?

[mitchwyld]

Why does it take today's rovers upwards of 20 hours to send a still picture from the moon to earth? I don't understand how a video could be sent if a video is 60 still frames per second it makes no sense unless the video came from a dessert in Australia perhaps?

[gregorygolden]

Yea it worked because they were here....Nixon talking to the Astronots on the moon on a land line from the white house....come

[contentedsoul]

Can anybody tell why live telecast not possible in this time, I want full view of earth (live) From moon satellite

[ohfft]

Take 2, now decrease quality of footage so anything that looks suspicious is blured so much that no one can see it!

[PokeRealmz]

That's not was buzz aldrin says.😳

[davidjolliffe]

And how was the delay? Almost non existent really. That’s really strange considering how long it would take each transmission. Let’s see myth busters come up with a rational explanation for that considering how pro Govt they are.

[G-ra-ha-m]

If it was such an epic broadcast and major event then:

1. Why did NASA 'lose' the original and best video of the event?
2. Why for 50 years has NASA refused to release a single uncut launch film of the AS11 rocket?
3. Why isn't there a simple 'Apollo11' web page with NASA - instead we have all this stuff scattered around the internet?
4. Why has Project Orion been furiously re-inventing Apollo for decades when Apollo only took a few years?
5. Why when only 3 cheap, reusable Shuttle SRBs provide 120% of the thrust of a SaturnV haven't they tried to go back?
6. Why has no man gone higher than Low Earth Orbit (for 50 years if you think they did in Apollo)?
7. Why didn't Neil and Buzz (even try to) take a decent photo of the earth?
8. Why didn't Neil and Buzz (even try to) take a decent photo of the Milky Way?
9. Why did NASA astronauts all take thousands of slightly underexposed images of dust and nothing interesting?
10. Why are the boulders buried in dust on the moon largely free of all dust ?
11. How did the boulders sitting on top of the dust on the moon get there without disturbing the dust they sit on?
12. Why are the moon boulders and rocks rounded with clear signs of weathering and wind erosion?
13. How did the LRV have so much grip with 1/6 of the downforce (ice driving conditions)?
Etc..

It appears that NASA doesn't care at all about Apollo and their story is rather full of holes.

It is to commence the global network of submarine cables. That huge dishes is for ground to ground comms only. Do the math.

[jameslee]

You can't explain it because it never happens fella

[bonnies]

I know one thing for WON the space race...LOL!
