They bent the Nozzle of the descent engine which hit the ground. The back leg was actually on the slope of a crater and this caused the LM to pitch back. If the LM had pitched further back it could have initiated an automatic abort or else it would not be possible for them to launch properly from the moon.

The LM computer was fully capable of landing by itself. LM Computer Program: P64 Low Gate (Landing phase). Starting at Low Gate at 150 m (500 feet), this phase allowed the Commander (and not the Lunar Module Pilot) to take control of the LM. LM Computer Program: P65 (automatic) or P66 (manual) landing.

And of course because of his soft landing ;-)

Does anyone know of a video link to a computer generated 3rd person perspective of the lunar lander descending and touching down on the moons surface?

I believe it is the same structure that you can see on the take off video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKaeu6xqoszVqbw.html I think it is some ancient deposit, maybe from the formation period of the moon. The angle of view and shadows make it look kind of strange.

Scott wrote a nice book together with Alexei Leonov, "Two Sides of the Moon". Good read, along with Tom Stafford's "We Have Capture".

after looking at the photos from a distance I have changed my mind on what many of the rilles are. THEY ARE SHRINKAGE MARKS that occur along the edges of the basalt fill ups. If you look at hadley the canyon has exactly matching edges--lava tubes do not flow like that for hundreds of miles and leave perfectly matched edges. Shrinkage cracks like that occur even on earth in lava fields. even in a crater like in Hawaii you see them after things cool off. I also hike in lava fields my whole life and see the exact features all the time. If I can come up with enough examples I will do a short video upload as to my theory.

DIDNT TAKE LONG-- i simply went to google earth and looked at my favorite lava field I explore west of Ludlow California (Pashgut volcano--huge black area about 30 miles west of Ludlow) sure enough there are the same rilles. will do video for sure in a few days. wont be pro video but will get the point across.

Very professional eh? None of the showmanship as in 12 and 14, classy as they were, I enjoy this one only second to Ap11 , I think you can tell the difference between Navy and Air force pilots, They’ve all got their own idea on how to do it. A lot of folk think this was quite harsh, I don’t, regardless of Irwins’ comment. I think between them, this sounded the more professional, as opposed to Conrad and Bean cavalier, comedy central approach. It’s astounding isn’t it.

That would be something, Many say they didnt rise any dust, looks like the exhaust did create a rainbow of dust screeks. May the buggy rides commence!

@@marcleblanc3602 The majority of the dust on the lunar surface is from impacts that throw up dust, not just dust that falls from space. On Earth only large objects make it to the surface due to the atmosphere. Linking a video from before the landings, just shows that they were wrong in their estimates. But before Apollo there were unmanned probes that gave a better estimate as the the depth of the dust. It does however vary in different places on the moon due to the amount of impacts in that area. As far as dust blown. No atmosphere means that the dust will fall back to the surface at 1/6th g after the engines are turned off. So, that is not nonsense. Thinking that it would make a long lasting cloud (which some think) is nonsense.

Hello! Please share the link where you can buy 16 mm video of the Apollo program in uncompressed quality. Thank you very much in advance!

The "5 point" landing, where they used the decent engine bell as a airbag, crushing it slightly, and a extra point of contact. Glad it didn't jam upwards and do damage, the story of 15 might have been different. It looks really rough from the video. Brave Men, and Equipment, one and all!!. I have a idea for a book, the title is "Riding on Tin Foil", or something like that.

They’re tilted until about a couple thousand feet they pitch up 20 degrees and then after another little bit they fly vertical to maintain horizontal velocity while killing vertical velocity.
