Re Apollo 11 landing. They were not ''about to crash'' in anybody's language. Armstrong had noticed the landing site chosen was not suitable and took control, it was quite an amazing bit of leadership and piloting, That is why Armstrong was first on the moon. If any danger or fuel starvation occurred they would simply abort the mission.

Buzz Aldrin never flew on the Apollo 8 mission. He was part of Apollo 8's backup crew. The original crew of Apollo 8 was Frank Borman, Bill Anders, and Michael Collins. However, Collins was recovering from back surgery, and was replaced by James Lovell. Collins recovered and became the Command Module Pilot (CMP) on Apollo 11.

14:15 - THERE WAS NO OPTION TO RETURN USING JUST THE ODYSSEY. The astronauts and ground control knew within minutes that the Odyssey was dying and would be completely powerless within only a few minutes. NASA quickly assessed that the Odyssey's engine was rendered dead in the explosion, and there was no way to use it for an immediate return. The ONLY option was to use the Aquarius as a "lifeboat", and utilize the spacecraft's "free return trajectory" to travel around the moon and then return to the earth after doing so. There was no other viable option except this one.

This is the reason the US takes extra extra extra extra precautions for their upcoming moon missions

Horrifying is such a brilliant word to use for click baits ... everyone falls into the trap

Man whenever i hear this guy's voice i get a sense of fear automatically.

The Apollo 13 explosion happened approximately 200, 000 miles from earth. The only engine powerful enough to perform a direct abort was the service propulsion system (SPS) on the service module of Apollo 13's service module (SM). The engine could have been damaged by the explosion, leading NASA to send Apollo 13 looping around moon before heading back to earth.

Well, I remember that the first NASA astronaut, Neil Armstrong, and the second NASA astronaut Buzz Aldrin landed on Sea of Tranquility on the Moon as the NASA astronaut Mike Collins as the chief in command in Apollo 11 orbited the Moon. At 2:00 am of July 20 th 1969, I and my parents with my family, all watched the TV show in the family living room on second floor under my late paternal grandparents’s roof. At last, all of Apollo 11 astronauts returned to the Earth safely. They were brave.
It happened on January 27, 1967, I, my hard-of-hearing brother, and my late paternal grandmother watched the TV show at home. Then the latest news popped out at once! My hard-of-hearing brother told me that all of Apollo 1 astronauts were killed in fire in cockpit inside Apollo 1 as the countdown was 4 minutes. Until I read the Pittsburgh Gazette Post about tragedy of Apollo I astronauts in the morning. So that it was saddened me as I really was shocked in a fact. It was real heartbreaking at last.

Buzz aldrin and Neil Armstrong were on the back up crew for Apollo 8. The crew of Apollo 8 was frank borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Zander’s. Also the picture of the command/lunar module is wrong. The command module would dock directly into the lunar module. There was no docking port in between the two.

There are a significant number of mistakes in this. Clearly the creator of this video hasn't made much effort to research the Apollo 11 mission. The graphics show the astronauts sitting upside down in their coaches, seats in the LEM where there were none, a docking tunnel that wasn't on the mission, et cetera.... He mistakenly places the 1202 alarm at the wrong time during descent, gives misinformation about the amount of fuel, implies that the LEM was about to crash.... and I haven't even gotten a third of the way through the video

The first man on the moon was the camera man 😂

The graphics show the Lunar Module (LM) Eagle separating from the Command and Service Module (CSM) Columbia. Unfortunately, attached to the front end of Columbia is the Androgynous Peripheral Attach System (APAS). It was a module that was used to dock with Soyuz 19 during the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP).

The scarriest part is they were in their underwear the whole time and the entire world was watching and didn't even realize it.

[crucialsmoker]

Could you imagine landing on the moon in what was essentially a large round refrigerator like vehicle that had windows and padded interior with technology from the 1960s😂

I just want to thank everyone involved in the Apollo missions and other NASA employees. The conquest of space is an extremely difficult and dangerous task, as evidenced by the incidents listed in this video. But the fact that the astronauts, despite all the threats, still did their job, cannot but impress. We conquered the Moon, the first object besides the Earth that people visited ... it's really great, and I would like people to never forget this incredible step in our history. At least out of respect for those who almost lost their lives to achieve these successes.😏

I would love to go to space, but those dreams are mainly over. Not just I don't believe I'll ever get a chance to, but my life has turned upside down in a way that my childhood dreams won't ever come true.

On a happier note, it's truly amazing that man ever got to fly into space, even get to the moon. And totally huge respect to those who did and prayers to those that died.

I love the multiverse that we live in. So many discoveries and new photos from satellites. Anyway, stay frosty and stay safe!

[davidturpchinoff]

Buzz Aldrin did not fly on Apollo 8 as stated in this video, he was a member of the backup crew.

[jimflys]

Poor Gus. A man who died for the lie. And now, they can't even get and unmanned, let alone and un-buggied lander there. Gus, nothing has changed. Thank you for the lemon. A true hero.

Buzz Aldrin wasn't on Apollo 8!! 11 was the ONLY Apollo flight he was on. Only one Apollo 8 astronaut flew again afterward, and that was Jim Lovell. He commanded 13. The 1201/1202 alarms had nothing to do with navigation. It was a packet overflow alarm. The computer didn't "suddenly" go off course. It's programmed course was taking them to a boulder field. Neil took over and manually landed them on the far side of the field. On Apollo 12, they didn't have to reset the panel, they had to switch to aux data. Pete Conrad wasn't freaking out. Saying he "couldn't cope" is inexcusable. The suggestion from mission control to set "SCE to AUX" was something he had never heard of before. The switch they referenced was on the Lunar Module Pilot's side, and that's why Al Bean knew what it was, and switched it. That, along with the animation showing the astronauts sitting backward in the command module, makes you lose ALL credibility. I had to stop at 9 minutes because almost everything up to that point was just wrong.
