What's up with that methed-out piano bit at the beginning?
That computor room was loud
Hello..I'm Don Draper..MIT scientific reporter, coming to you from...
farts
Wakey wakey Its fakey fakey
Read the comments from years ago and then an hour ago and you see how people are waking up to this bullshit. The people speaking for it all work at troll farms. 50 cents a post.
It is like Dr Whos phone booth.
😂🤣😂
Any discoveries today are promptly sold to foreign governments, by Qatar and China- controlled scientists at leftist universities.
Looking around inside the LEM.. WHERE WERE THEY STORING THOSE BIG PUFFY MR MARSHMALLOW SPACE SUITS? AND WHERE WERE THEY PUTTING THEM ON? AND THEN WHERE WERE THEY EXITING AT THROUGH A 24-IN DOOR EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE 36-IN SHOULDERS? WHERE WERE THEY STORING THE OXYGEN THEY NEEDED TO AT LEAST FILL THE TANKS OR REFILL THEM? YEAH THIS IS ALL REAL PEOPLE
They didn't need to stow the suits as they wear them most of the time in the LM, they, also don't even take up that much room. Where did you get the measurements for the hatch and their shoulders? The oxygen tanks obviously weren't in the cabin.
@@msidc1238most of the photos from inside have all been wiped from internet. For just this reason. They must have stowed them right by the dune buggy. And the oxygen generator.
@@mattstickle2725 Completely false. There are countless photographs from inside the LM on the Internet. Take a look at the Apollo Image Archive.
@@mattstickle2725 Also the location of everything on the LM can be found on the Internet if you look hard enough too.
Those space crafts look absolutely rediculous
That was good entertainment for the 50's generation but that contraption never left the ground!!!
Prove it.
yes we did it. Buzz Aldrins comments on other reels when asked about fear during the landing, he said "it didnt happen". Not the landing, but the FEAR didnt happen. Obviously they landed and they had zero fear as test pilots. Someone wouldnt be a test pilot if they feared the task. The stared fear in the face. We went. We did it several times over several missions. Even Jim Lovell mentioned panic. Why panic. You'll be back where were before the panic.
Farts
I see people saying that a lot (and I thought that for a while too), but Buzz actually explains what he meant if you watch a little further. After he says "Scariest? It didn't happen. It could have been scary." he smiles and - most likely seeing she didn't understand - he adds "circuit breaker". The host next to him then helps out by asking him "the circuit breaker when?" Buzz then says, "Oh. I'm glad someone helps me" and then tells the story about an incident with the circuit breaker that could've stranded them, but didn't, so the scariest part didn't happen. I'm pretty sure he just didn't realize he hadn't told that story yet that day. And to be fair, it really is a non-answer to the question.
@@maskonfilteroff3145 its called knowing your machine. I know those switches he's referring to.
Nasa has contributed so much to the world!!
yes, I am laughing my ass off right now.
Maneuvering in space is impossible right now with current technology. There's no way the lander could have maneuvered to the command module.
Why do you think it's impossible?
@@paulzuk1468I’ll go out on a limb and say it’s probably the belief common with flat earthers / moon landing deniers. They claim that rockets can’t work in space, thus maneuvering in space would be impossible. Of course rockets work wonderfully in space. Rocket fuel creates its own oxygen.
After seeing this video it's even more ridiculous that we could go to the moon back then. And totally ludicrous that supposedly we can't go now!!!
A banana town like Mejico should not have a democracy, it deserves a populist autocracy, they adore their dictator for the handouts he gives them.
Today's president of MIT is beholden to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and China and must espouse antiAmerican rhetoric to keep her job, and look the other way while MIT professors sell top secret research to foreign governments.
No. But funny you can't supply any actual data to support your baseless claims.
@@kitcanyon658It's in the news, even as it's suppressed. Seeing the truth is difficult but some are able
If this crap landed Moon… I swear that i’am Mike Tyson 😂
Which material are speaking of? The simple mock ups created to work through a new design? Then I guess you think those clay model car bodies are supposed to be out driving on the streets, right? Or are you talking about the craft that ended up weighing over 15 tons? I mean, are you now claiming that real data isn't relevant?
Why did UA-cam include a blue box for this? Absurd.
What an awesome video! Why did it take so long for YT to recommend it to me? LOL
How does YOU TUBE still allow shit like this 🤔
Ah, John. Still jealous of people that not only earn degrees in engineering but actually understand and apply engineering in the real world? That's not a good look for a man. I suggest you get a real education, son.
@@kitcanyon658 you are too far gone 🤣🤣🤣
@@johnvasilopoulos1503 : Thanks for admitting you didn’t get an education. By the way, when are you flatters going to get a working map?
@@kitcanyon658 Hello 😊 i don't need an education to detect lies. And no, I'm not a flatter. i don't care what shape it is,and if it's spinning or not. you need to prove to me,and show me evidence of those claims. Now get back into your foetal position and think for yourself for a change 👍
@@johnvasilopoulos1503 : Ah, sure thing. So science in your world is just about feelings. So how come you believe in electrons? Do you feel them working inside your device? You see, son, it takes education to create things of this nature. Your types just sit at home and have "feelings" about something. We educated people just laugh at your ignorance. So, since you claim it is all faked, then how about you prove it? Show us your research, data and analysis. Or didn't you actually do any? Please don't tell me you just watched a UA-cam video where someone else told you what to think. Let me guess, you think the LM was made of nothing but cardboard and tin foil, right? LOL. So, here's your chance to show us. Or, you can take the lame way out and just say you "just know..." or some other such nonsense. It's ok. Just stick to your echo chamber sites. In the meantime us doers will go on creating things and performing missions such as the Apollo program accomplished.
This is hilarious 🤣
Our modern world stands on the shoulders of giants, John Fitch and these engineers are only a few of them.
Funny moment at 7:00!
The electronics back then were so primitive by our standards but so revolutionary compared to 10 years prior.
All lies NASA now admits cant go to the moon.
Are you a grown man? If so, how is it that you can't even know how to write a simple sentence or two?
Landing in Hollywood
It’s more aptly Technology Reporter
This thing looks like a joke LOL
Which is exactly what uneducated people say. Thanks for admitting your IQ and education level.
Hollywood....
That dodgy shack never left Area51.Poople are nuts thinking Naza landed 3 Stooges in the moon with that crap in 1969?
Says the guy who doesn't understand what a question mark is or what is it intended to be used for. Thanks for that fail. That was classic!
@@kitcanyon658 And thank you for the English lesson you fool.
Что делал Кубрик в это время? И где полеты на Луну сейчас?
Same ones on Starliner?😂
Hilarious,the poor fellow drinking the milk,only to have it go over his face,up his nose. All the while in a test chamber.
The birth of the touch interface. If only modern UI has better accessibility options.
Landed humans on the moon in 1969. Bollox.
Why? Oh, that's right. You don't actually supply such details, do you? The sign of a mere child. It's cute when you're 4.
@@kitcanyon658 Do you really need an explanation why someone would not believe this.
And that’s why the fringe nutcases are where they are in life, and not engineers who understand science.
Exactly. The jealous don't have much but throwing stones to make themselves feel superior. They all know that they didn't really understand math in school and I bet many of them are proud that they didn't (couldn't) go to college.
@@kitcanyon658 Farts
History of the Hollywood 😊
Shameful that people still fall for this
They filled every single of like 400.000 honeycombs separately by hand 🤯
this should be upscaled by ai to 4k
Never went to the Moon it was all a elaborate charade a fraud of historical magnitude. Watch any video on here of the Americans coming back from their fake moon mission walking normally waving their arms and then find video of Russian cosmonauts coming back from space. They can't walk or even raise their arms. Our fake astronauts were waving to the spectators and even skipping as they came back. Faked it.
Muscle fatigue only kicks in after extended stays in space dude, short term Russian launches had them coming out just fine. Not being able to walk is a months problem, not a week.
What are you even on about? The crew of Voskhod 2 landed off target, spent two nights in a forest in temperatures as low a -30 degrees Celsius and then skied 9 kilometres to a landing area where a helicopter picked them up. "Can't walk" lol
Jesus, son. Way to show your ignorance in just a few sentences. Let me guess. You didn't get a college education in engineering. Right?
@@kitcanyon658 How much did you pay for your education and what coffee shop do you work at.
@@ChrisNear-gc6cx : Ah, the jealous "man" who has never understood the hard subjects in school. Do you think education is free? So now you show that you're not only a socialist but an uneducated one. Not a good look, son. It's time to adult up.
Incredible, even with such primitive tools they were able to go the moon 238,855 miles away, a number of times and in near flawless maneuver and achievements, personally I find it unbelievable
Suuuure.
It is amazing that there are adults who believe that we went to the moon
Only people without common sense would believe we didn't, all evidence points to we went. But you're welcome to provide some, you'd be the first.
No one "believes" in the Apollo Moon landings. Just like people don't "believe" in potato salad, contact lenses, or parking meters. They _know_ those things are real. It's the same with Apollo, because it's _objectively_ proveable. Belief is for things like astrology, ghosts, or Bigfoot. Things that cannot be proven. Apollo is in a different category, because it can be proven - unequivocally.
Its their version of santa claus and the tooth fairy but for adults.
@@Brian_S_O_Tuireann : No. All moon landing deniers are uneducated in engineering. Period.
