I was a 7th grader and got up at 3 am on a school morning to watch one of the moon walks. That day, I noticed a handful of kids at school looking just as tired as I did, and figured those were other true space fans.... Apollo 14 was magnificent. Having no Rover and assigned a steep climb with deceptive sun angles, Al and Ed did more with their own feet than any other two human beings.

These are great documentaries created by someone who really knows their Apollo history

Jackson, I just have to tell you how special your documentaries are. I have a 2 year old grandson that loves your videos. He is rambunctious, full of energy and just won't sit still (which is awesome btw) but as soon as I show him your videos he sits calmly and watches intently. It's one of the few things that captures his attention for any length of time. He loves watching the launches over and over. He points at the rockets and says "look Ga Pa rocket ships go up and up and up." He sits quietly and listens to your voice and watches everything, even all the Nasa technical stuff. It's truly amazing watching his eyes light up as he watches and learns. Your documentaries are encouraging a new generation of exploration and science. Thank you...

Don't forget that he has a Patreon account now. I talked him into that. I'm also his first and highest Patreon, and damn glad to do it !!! He really is good, there is no doubt about it. He didn't believe me when I told him just how good he really is. So keep sharing these videos of his, he's a great and talented kid and will no doubt go long distances in his upcoming career. I'm just so glad to have been one of the first to find him and get his name out there. I'm a lifelong, really long time space nut and watched all this stuff growing up in the 60's and the 70's. He's absolutely spot on with all his work..... Good job Kid !!!

Please don’t ever stop doing what you do Jackson . All your documentaries are masterfully edited and narrated. What also sets you apart is the footage you present, I’ve seen every NASA/Apollo documentary and they all use the same old footage over and over. I don’t even know where u find some of this stuff but it’s awesome. Big fan!

I recognized around 4 years ago that there was a huge hole in the "market" if you will for mission-specific videos of historic spaceflight. All TV/streaming documentaries present summarized looks at an entire program. The only mission specific documentaries I could find were the ones produced in the 1970's by NASA themselves -- mere months after the flights had ended. These all used pretty rough scans of the in-flight footage, and none of them aged too well, albeit I love them and still think they're fantastic. I felt I had seen and collected enough footage to try and do one better -- to present these missions by showcasing the ACTUAL footage, not the same sequences we've all seen again and again from 11, and so on. It's been absolutely nothing but fun and worth every single second. I don't monetize these videos, either -- thanks to the music I've been using. I wouldn't want to charge people to watch public domain footage, anyway. I know for a fact that dozens of 1980's/1990's space shuttle missions have entirely undigitized film rolls, just sitting and collecting dust somewhere at JSC. Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz, even Mercury and Gemini. I'm not quite sure how I can get good quality scans of this footage, but you can be guaranteed that if I do, I will use it to make more of these videos. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned!

@@JacksonTyler NASA is civilian, as you know, and they are obliged to make all information (at least on civilian missions) available to the public. Perhaps you could get access by offering to digitize their footage via a public access request?

Didn't realize A-14 had so many challenges of its own. I've done hikes where the destination appeared "just over the next ridge", but alas, terrain can be so deceiving that way, understand their frustration, so close, but no cigar. Very cool Shepard got to the moon, a real tribute to the original Mercury astros. Thank you for another great space doc, so educational!

That had to be so disheartening, not just for the astronauts but for the scientists and mission planners back home. It probably taught NASA the lesson that too many travelers and hikers here on Earth have learned: Maps and aerial views are deceiving. This also shows why the lunar rover was critical for future missions, they could make course corrections without wearing themselves out pulling a heavy cart the whole way. For Shepard, a 47-year old man to do this even as well as he did was no small feat.

Oh, my. What a hidden gem this channel is. And as so many have already said, these are simply the best vintage space era documentaries that I've found on KZread. Masterful choices in clips, dialogue, and most of all--editing.

This is SO much more thorough than the NASA docs on these missions! More please!!...

Luv these ReMastered Apollo & Mercury Space Program Documentaries. I was 15 when Neil & Buzz set foot on the Moon. I remember the Whole World stopped for Apollo 11 & 13, it was an amazing once in a lifetime experience that these Documentaries do a Real Justice to. The Post-Apollo era people will learn how important these Space Programs were by watching them. Great Job ! !

Drat, no conspiritards to laugh at. (Excellent work.)

These documentaries are fantastic. I truly drives home what Jim Lovell said in that, "There is no routine mission to the Moon."

These shows are so good. I've watched them all, totally out of order, and they have made the man in space a major focus. I have felt closer to the people in the spaceship than I have watching anything else. Genuine legends one and all and after these Documentary's , in my mind at least, more real. The open Vox moments are priceless.

The documentaries you make are pure gold. The music is the icing. Thank you.

Your documentaries are better than any other Apollo documentaries I’ve seen, primarily because you’re not afraid to go into minute and nerdy details. I love it!

I am typing this 50 years to the moment Apollo 14 Launched. Good documentary.

Apollo, by far, is Americas most amazing achievement.

Absolutely amazing documentaries! Wonderful job. As an Apollo junkie, it was great to see the explanation of the drogue capture system. Some of the best documentaries of the Mercury and Apollo missions was created by one person? Amazing and cannot wait to see what you do with Gemini!

This video documentary is absolutely brilliant ....one of the best I have ever seen! The backdrop educational material was very informative and provided rare insights into the collective contribution of the men and women who made the Apollo lunar landing missions possible. President Kennedy would have been very proud indeed.

Crazy that so few people have seen this. It's excellent!

If you want to see humanity at its most resourceful, all you need to look at is the apollo missions.

What a great storytelling!!! No pompous music, no cheap drama narration...

I avidly followed Project Mercury, Gemini and Apollo as a kid and young man. My 6th grade teacher brought a radio into our classroom and we listened to John Glenn's historic orbits around the earth. This was a fascinating series of documentaries.

Another stupendous video--thank you! BTW, I had the pleasure of meeting Ed Mitchell at his home in Florida on two separate occasions. We talked about the mission, quantum mechanics, ESP, and his current activities at the time. He also enjoyed telling me about he and Al's "Lunar Olympics," which included not only Al's golfing but Ed throwing a lunar scoop handle as if it were a javelin (you can see this at 1:22:45). 😀

Great documentary as all others. Watching this just a few days after 50 years of happening and still remembering details being a 15 year old boy at that moment is highly emotional. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Paraguay.

Sub'ed. Avid nasa buff since '82. Read all the books, watched all the shows, witnessed many launches and shook some astro's hands. NEVER BEFORE has anyone explained so fully (that I could really understand): CM/LM soft dock, A14's new DOI, Core Rope Memory, recycle the landing radar...whew!, and Big Bertha. One bone to pick - Al had a Endolymphatic Sac shunt, not a modern Cochlear implant, albeit by the same pioneer implant Dr., his was mainly a drainage tube, not a electrical hearing device. Well done sir! Off to Paetron to send you money. Best docus ever! Best account of A-14 ever! Hey, how bout a fresh deep dive into the X-15, NF-104 and those competitive days at Edwards - how bout teaching the world about Dyna-Soar? Much respect.

You make these documentaries an adventure for us. Thank you.

the past couple mornings ive gotten up extra early to watch these docmetaires. i cant freakin stop man. these are so darn good. pls dont ever stop!

Really well put together documentary - from the flow of the story, the explanations, the mission highlights, the music... Condensing the mission duration to a succinct, yet informative, 90min film. Very impressive! Watched this on the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 14 launch, January 31, 2021.

Cannot tell you howmuch I enjoy your exceptional documentaries.

Like someone said, masterful. I skipped school so I could watch Al and Ed head for cone crater and sent away to NASA for some brochures about it months later. It was a terrific mission and this video was great. Thanks!

You certainly get into detail for each of these flights that I've just not seen in other really good documentaries as well. Yours provides a unique perspective and really appreciate being able to see and hear the stories behind these that you have put together. Look forward to more of these on other aeronautical topics if you go that route.

Watching Apollo documentaries never gets old. Thank you for this great piece.

Very enjoyable documentary. I particularly remember the difficulties with transposition and docking on the way to the moon. Your film brought back all of the tension that I remember when I watched live as a young boy. Well done!

I absolutely loved these docs. Every one. To an aspiring Apollo geek, all of the technical radio chatter closed captioning and the small details provided by the narration is a huge bonus and forces a separation from any of the other docs offered by any other network. A superb doc crafted by what basically amounts to a small operator, but one with skin in the game and a real passion for the important smaller details. Slow clap man! 😎👍

Great job on all these documentaries Jackson. I’ve listened to all of these documentaries during work countless times when I need something to inspire my imagination.

Got to say that I had intended just to skim through this video---bouncing through different scenes, and knocking it off pretty quickly as I had other things to tend to. Well, that didn't happen. I couldn't deny myself a moment out of this great work. An hour and a half presentation that felt like ten minutes! Thank you for your efforts with these videos, and the BUNCH of intense back-story items that I'd never heard of! Kim

These homemade documentaries are excellent. Just what I want - lots of detail and very well restored film. FYI, at the age of 21, I saw Apollo 14 re-enter the atmosphere just after 08:00 on a beautiful fine Auckland morning, standing on a sidewalk near where I worked (Pitt St, opposite Poynton Tce, for you Kiwis). First the service module appeared about 20 ° above the northern horizon, moving left to right at a slow decline. It quickly broke into dozens of smaller globules of all possible colors, each with its own long streaming tail. A few moments later the command module appeared as a single, steady, brilliant magnesium-white flare with a perfectly smooth tail and no globules. I watched through medium-power binoculars, my jaw hanging open in awe. "Are you all right?" an old lady asked, as she passed me, walking up the hill, away from the sight. "Look, look!" I said, unable to form a sentence but pointing to the northern sky. She just kept on walking. As far as I know, nobody else saw it but I could be wrong. Some idiot astronomy "expert" called Reid had advised that there would be nothing to see in the bright morning light. Had I know how wrong he would prove to be, I would have lugged my Nikon F, a tripod and a 300mm lens up the hill but I expected to see nothing. It was the greatest missed photo opportunity of my life. That night I painted my binocular view in acrylics, but it's just not the same.
