One of the proudest moments of my young life at age 12. They say moments like that you remember the rest of your life. That flight is a clear in my mind as when it was happening in 1969. I had followed the space program as a kid and realized it seemed to take longer than I expected for the landing to happen. Then, Buzz's voice over the comm loop. "Okay, engine stop. ACA out of detent." I said to my Dad..."they're there." A few years later, as a young radio news reporter, I got to meet Neil Armstrong while he was teaching at the University of Cincinnati and actually got to spend about 20 minutes just shooting the breeze with him. A very likeable man. At least I can tell grandkids about meeting the first human being to walk on another planet.

I am in project management these days and my mind always goes back to watching these launches and landings when I was a kid. Watching everything come together as we approach our objectives, both large and small, makes me feel like I am there in Mission Control. It's inspirational to me. I hope future generations get to experience something like this.

Simply amazing. The fact that humans were able to build this hardware and then figure out how to use it. And the fact that they thought of everything to make the flight successful.

Always love to hear the Flight Director's loop during these launches. Nice to listen to the calming voice of Cliff Charlesworth again.

Cliff Charlesworth is so incredibly calm under pressure. Sounds like he could take a nap at any moment.

Even as early as Apollo 11, this sounds so routine, but we all know that’s not really the case. The crew and ground sound so calm and collected. Just glad all went well!

We're planning to get to Mars soon, and the moon again soon. We've gone from rare and classified levels of tech for space launches to being able to hold a computer in our hand that is far more powerful than the tech of the 60's.- and we owe ALL of that to the space program.

Great video! I always preferred the live video feeds that the launch controllers saw, rather than what the TV networks chose to show the public.

I was five years old when I saw this, too. I remember seeing some of the later Gemini reports on tv. Amazing what gets etched into the neurons. Just this past Friday I was inspecting some components going to ULA for one of their rockets. It feels so great to be a part of this!

These loops were recently redigitized a couple of years ago. The original reel to real tapes were hung one last time and recorded with the latest equipment and lossless codecs. They sound amazing good when you consider they were recorded on what was basically a multitrack monitoring recorder, not a set of high fidelity recorders.

Still amazing what NASA could achieve so many years ago in such a short period of time ... from knowing almost nothing about space launch to landing a man on the moon and return them safely to earth.

That would have been something to see. Simply amazing.

That valve is used to keep the spacecraft coolant circuit (glycol) to not go through the radiators. It is set to bypass during two phases of the mission - during launch and during CM/SM separation (just before re-entry).

Crazy how the Saturn is just suspended before launch on but a few hard points above a cavernous flame trench. It's just barely locked down after its trip from the VAB. Yet those hard points have to hold the ship as the S-1C builds up thrust; then let go simultaneously within milliseconds. Lovell, Scott, Young, and Cernan all did this twice.

He said that a tape was reviewed and as many as 30 people were carrying on 12 conversations. He said after a while you were used it and all the voices were no big deal. Heck I can understand my wife in a crowded Resturaunt. LOL

Not sure why Orbiter thinks that the daytime earthward side of a rocket should be in shadow. The shuttle spent most of its time in orbit with its payload bay facing earth and during daytime passes the bay was lit up with a bright but diffuse esrth shine. In Orbiter that shadowed side of the SIVB ought to be a little brighter than it appears on screen.

Do they shut the main engine, coast to apoapsys and then circularize the orbit? or is it a "all in one" continuous burn and when the S-IVB shut down the orbit is already circular and perfect?

Mode 1 was abort using the Launch Escape System Tower and the A/B/C was how the LES maneuvered the CM after its separation from the stack (from 0ft to 19 miles). Mode 2 was an abort using the SPS engine on the SM to get the CSM off the stack after the LES was jettisoned. Mode 3 was the same as mode 2 but included the CSM turning around and doing a Falcon 9 boost back type burn with the SPS to avoid landing on land in Africa. Mode 4 was an abort to orbit using the SPS on the CSM. There were two other abort modes which involved an abort to orbit using the S-4IV stage (and SPS) if the S-II stage failed
