How astronauts prepared for the Apollo 11 Moon landing | BBC Global

Apollo 11 launched on July 16, 1969, carrying the first men to land on the Moon.

In the months leading up to the historic take-off, Nasa put the crew through gruelling, relentless simulations in order to prepare them – and BBC Tomorrow's World paid a visit.

How did they get to the Moon when the video depicts the Earth turning the wrong way at 1:33?

[righteoustera]

So we went to the moon in 1969, and with all the technology we have in 2024 we would have been going every week to visit. But we are not WHY?

[raymondtonns]

"A ship exactly like this" NASA: We destroy all blue prints of it / Due people notice on the film the hatch was to small to fit the astronaut with all the gear on, jajahaha, get rid of the evidence. BBC could you describe every button on the panel? what do?, or is just to se impressive on the movie? / 55 yrs and never went again? wow, is like my friend on high school said went on vacations with top models, but never went again

[justinratcliffe]

Shut up all you in the comments. We landed. GET OVER IT

[waynelsexton]

Nowadays we pay nasa billions to NOT got to the moon.. make it make sense

[Meshalleez]

0:26 "When the first American astonauts landed on the moon" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yah right

[muddwhistle]

😂😂😂ohh no! Your one of them, NOBODY HAS EVER WALKED ON THE MOON! Most people don’t’ t understand how many things have to go right to get home safely from a moon landing, it’s 99.99% impossible

[carolc.]

I get where these conspiracy theories come from. Def suspect with all the cameras and fake shots of real space and the moon. Lol

[martf]

There you have it folks...
This video clearly explains how the footage shown that day on every US citizen's T.V. screen was made possible.
Wasnt real after all...
😣

[Seven.Heavenly.Sins.]

They flew to the moon and back to earth in that piece of junk? Get real!

[martf]

They rehearsed the scripted scenario.
The moment the "landing" footage was broadcasted on television, That's the exact moment that T.V. became the most dangerous weapon of all times...
" Possibility to make believe anything, to almost every citizen, at the same time"
- nobody questionned the truthfullness of what they heard and saw on T.V.
" Has to be true.. They said it on T.V. " 😆😆
Good thing that it's not like that anymore.. 😋😛😛😏
There is a recent new movie that just came out, explaining and showing the how the biggest hoax was realized..
