Launch Of Apollo 11 In Real Time (July 16, 1969)

The Pinnacle of Human Achievement....

How did they recover the film from the cameras that recorded the stage separation events.

This is very beautiful documentary.

Yes, it is rocket science. It’s engineers having fun doing what they do best. Apollo was colossal. Still is.

Столько народа..сидят и треплются, никагого волнения перед стартом,

Having to marvel at technological achievements of the past and to look for beauty in architecture in history, we must admit that as a civilisation we took a wrong turn. We must build wonder in our present.

so good thx

Nice historical footage...thx.

Eu tinha 7 anos de idade.
Assisti toda a transmissão pelo rádio. Mais precisamente pela "VÓS DA AMÉRICA".
Toda comunicação entre os astronautas e a base de lançamento eram ouvidas ao vivo.

Can't wait to see 24 hours coverage in 2024 of man going to the moon with no commercials or interruptions

"All stages to internal power on my mark. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, mark." If hearing that doesn't give you a thrill then you are NOT certified space junkie.

*great*

I was all of 11 months old when this happened... but I do have faint memories of Apollo 17

Ce qui ferait taire les sceptiques serait de montrer en simultané les bandes son et les images des astronautes à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du cockpit afin de monter la concomitance des signaux sonores internes et externes au décollage

Rush did a similar sync for sts1

You know what gets me is all the parallel conversations on a serial communication system, and only a feew please repeat or sorry i missed that. And yet how you can follow all the communications so clearly

Great video thank you.

Gorgeous imagery! Spacex could learn a few things from NASA.....oops.

You can tell who the Germans are in the control room 😆

The pinnacle of the most fabulous decade in history. In ten years starting in 1960 we went from small rockets that blew up at launch, to the the incomparable Saturn 5. 17 launches with nothing more than minor glitches. The most powerful machine ever created and it had a perfect safety record.
I get chills watching this and and am thankful that I am old enough to have witnessed our incredible space program as it matured to this historic day in July of '69.

thrust is go ;)

I was born about 2 months later. I'm hoping to get to see the next moon landing.

I watched this on a 19-inch black-and-white Magnavox TV at the age of five. I had my toy rocket ship and thought it was all pretty neat. However, my five-year-old mind could not grasp that this had never been done before except in testing phases.

Nice to hear Chris McCandless

Great video. First time I’ve heard a recording of multiple ground loops for Apollo 11. Thanks so much!

Without billions of transistors

The total computing and processor capacity of this rocket is equal to a gameboy.

I was a 15 year old Boy Scout at summer camp on Seneca Lake watching the launch on our Scout Masters battery powered b&w portable TV.

Also watch the documentary Moonwalk One released in 1971.

Our family went to one of the launches but I can't remember which one it was.

Fran, thank you for your content! Born in ‘84, this brings back so many memories. I didn’t understand the depth of what was happening but I appreciate it now.

Wow

1969 = Moon, 2023 = just Orbit

So many voices talking over each other.

Hoy un celular es mas potente que todas esas computadoras jajajajaja

Wow. then verses now. 300 operators then, 20 now, wow!

Where all the deniers and flat earthers lol

Most of the pre launch chatter is things done today by computers.

This rejuvenates ones faith in humanity being impressive. Unlike the modern election system

I long for a time, imperfect as it was, when our leaders and those that elected them had a love for this country and a vision for things larger than themselves; whether it be putting a man on the Moon, or passing the Civil rights act. In our history, it has only been during times such as these that we truly progressed as a nation and society.

To think that Nazi’s helped with the space program still boggles my mind!

Fantastic, thank you

Wow!! VERY nicely done!

Here is proof that once upon a time the americans used the word "zero" to call out the number 0

Thank you, it's been a pleasure to watch this again.
