During college, I worked summers at TRW SYSTEMS IN Redondo Beach. I was in the Non Destructive Test Department. One item which we x-rayed was a titanium manifold. It was about ten inches overall. This hand formed piece was where the two explosive gasses cane together. Two pipes in, one pipe out. There were two fkat flanges and two thin formed sheet halves. The halves were welded together and the flanges were welded to the ends. These four welds were hyper critical die to the enormous stresses at the point of mixing and exploding. Each weld was x-rayed one inch at a time. If there was an imperfection (inclusion) in the weld, it was ground out and rewelded. After all was perfect they were set into the production line. They all worked perfectly. There are seven of these still on the moon. I held them all in my hands. Larry Sorenson, Phoenix Arizona

It's been said many times that it was simply easier to do it than to fake it. But here we are in 2024, when people can't believe that we accomplished something so incredible. Then again, look at the thousands of brilliant young scientists and engineers who actually learned & applied critical thinking skills back in those days... and compare them to the output of today's public school system, among other factors. How many people today can't even grasp that the world isn't flat, let alone basic science and common sense, not to mention critical thinking. Anyway, thanks for putting this together.

If he had aborted, he would have had all of the fuel in the ascent stage available to him. The ascent stage fuel supply was separate from that of the descent stage fuel supply.

This event started a 94-second countdown to a 'Bingo' fuel call which meant 'land in 20 seconds or abort.' So if the count gets down to zero, Neil will have 20 seconds to land, if he thinks he can get down in time. Otherwise, he will have to abort immediately. If you're 50 feet up at 'bingo fuel' with all of your horizontal rates nulled and are coming down to a good spot, you could certainly continue to land. With your horizontal rates nulled at 70 to 100 feet, it would be risky to land - perhaps giving you a landing at the limiting load of the landing gear. At anything over 100 feet, you'd punch the abort button, say goodbye to the moon, and stew for the rest of your life!"

Great report

The documentary fails to explain why the skin to the pressure compartment was so thin and how it could be so thin. Well two words; pressure differential. The LM was filled with pure Oxygen (02) instead of Earth atmospheric gasses. As a consequence of that, they only needed to pressurise the LM to 4.3 psi. So against the vacuum of space as 0.0psi obviously the differential is just 4.3psi. A soda can was only slightly thicker but they had to cope with pressure differentials between 15 - 45 psi. So that helped save a considerable amount of weight.

I read Tom Kelly’s book and the proposed mass of the LM when they won the contract was around 24,000 lbs. Shortly after winning the contract, NASA engineers made it clear that the design needed more redundancy which quickly caused the weight to increase. Those redundancies were also added with all the instruments and controls. They were coming up with a workaround when Buzz decided on his shortcut method. Point is they were never in any danger of being stranded because of that incident. For whatever reason the seriousness of that issue has become exaggerated over the years.

Also from the same book was a fairly large write up about how the ascent engine was frequently at the top of the notorious list of issues that could seriously delay or even prevent the planned lunar landing by the end of the decade. The main problem was combustion instability that took a long time to solve and intervention by NASA to get rival companies to work together on it. They eventually figured that conducting the same type of tests using blasting caps to induce combustion instability as what was done on the Saturn V’s F-1’s was the best approach. The tests were called bomb tests and they were discussing this while on a passenger plane. Even with the lax security compared to nowadays, they found themselves being led away after landing to explain themselves. Fortunately it didn’t take long to clear that up. Those tests helped them solve the problem but just to make sure, they conducted more than 3X’s the amount of testing usually required for the man-rated certification.

Yes, this gets brought up fairly often. Grumman was informed very early in the LM’s development that there would be efforts made to uprate the Saturn V’s F-1 & J-2 rocket engines. If successful. NASA planned to eventually include something to extend the EVA range. At that time they were looking at a few things including some type of aerial mobility device. Since they hadn’t settled on anything yet, Grumman was instructed to make the LM design flexible enough to accommodate what might eventually be included as well as the mass redistribution that would be required. If not successful, than the regular type missions would have continued without the ability to extend the distance of the EVA’s.

Lucky for that monumental flight, they determined very soon that the malfunction was due to the Rendezvous Radar switch being left on, swamping the computer's ability to complete all its functions. Thank goodness someone at NASA had seen that same malfunction during simulation runs and knew exactly what was causing it. He informed the flight controllers and they immediately asked Buzz Aldren to turn that switch off. And the malfunction went away!

You are right. Armstrong thought it was a good idea. That almost cost him his fame. So NASA made up a story to save Armstrong the embarrassment. And I know they say it was flight manual issue. That was never revised. But it was revised. When they found it in testing years before. It's how the engineer knew what that code was from his cheat sheet. He seen it before.

In your mind, you mean? Ponder these facts: 1) The UK tracked the Apollo mission right down to the Moon's surface using the huge Jodrell Bank radio telescope (my friend did his PhD in astrophysics from there). They obviously couldn't see the astronauts, but their telemetry matches NASA's exactly. Therefore the Eagle DID reach the moon. 2) The USSR (BOO!) also tracked every mission from the early days of the US space program. The best propaganda for them would have been to prove to the world that it was faked. They didn't. 3)Moon rock has been analysed by geologists around the world. They all agree that the rocks are NOT from Earth. 4)When people claim that it was a studio set, they fail to spot that the reflections in the astronaut's convex visors WOULD show lighting rigs, cameras, film crew etc. They ONLY show a wrap-around panorama of the Moon's landscape. Without CGI and convincing green-screen technology, how do you explain this? Please don't just dismiss what I've said and retreat into your comfortable fantasy. Actually think long and hard.

I just don’t understand why NASA and SpaceX are trying to reinvent the wheel. We had a perfectly functional lunar lander in 1969. They are making it WAY too complicated now and I fear I’ll be dead and gone before we ever get back to the moon again (Certainly China and India are well on their way to get back there first) With today’s technology and improved engines, the LEM could simply be upgraded. Any large cargo or habitat modules should just be delivered separately on big single launch no return vehicles. The refueling of a Starship lander has so many complex hurdles that it will be at least another decade before its even a viable option.

The LM was designed for what amounted to a camping trip. Modern crewed missions have very different objectives, and therefore different gear is required.

A base on the Moon is actually a more daunting prospect that putting a man on Mars. It would require multiple different mission types and greatly magnified risks with so many complex launch and return/re-entry cycles. It would pretty much require an open-ended project, like Apollo began as, but with the mindset of the shuttle concept. But mining the Moon - assuming that was a goal - would also require very specific Moon to Earth delivery/re-entry vehicles. It'll never happen - no one has the money or the will, plus it could never be cost effective....even if the place was knee-deep in gold nuggets. I'd say Mars is a waste of time, money and effort. We need to put things right on Earth with that money, not contaminate somewhere else. But at least a man on Mars is one project with one launch. They never lost a man in deep space, but if it happens it'll happen because of pride and self-aggrandisement - not necessity. Till we know more about long-term space effects on humans with voluminous hard data, there's actually no need to send one anywhere near Mars. But they will, anyway.. Just for info, the Moon itself is now contaminated pole to pole, simply because of repeated landings using chemical exhaust cocktails. Scientists believe trace elements from landings and orbits cover the surface and the lower altitudes, thereby confounding and confusing any future science projects where fine accuracy of certain gathered data is critical.

The camera was far enough away that they did not need to refocus: the focus was set at infinity once and stayed there. All the cameraman had to do, is press the 'pan up' button 2 seconds before liftoff. That would send the signal to the moon (with a delay of about 2 seconds due to the distance) and it would arrive in time to follow the spacecraft. Liftoff was at a predetermined time, so they had a countdown the cameraman could use time the command. During the entire mission, the Apollo spacecraft had a radio link back to Earth. This carried audio, video and telemetry. They cold upload data to the onboard computer. Sending a few commands to the camera was simple by comparison. The distance is easy enough to deal with: they built a giant antenna on Earth (actually, several of them in locations around the world, so that at any time, at least one had a line of sight to the moon).

They landed on the moon with 45 hours supply based on 2 EVA’s but since only one was planned, probably around 48 hours or more. Their time on the moon was around 21.5 hours so that left them with over a days worth of battery power and oxygen.

You don't say where these visibly poor welds are, but any aesthetic properties in the LEM came second to its being able to handle its pressure tests and flight testing, which it did. Grumman were a reputable aircraft manufacturer, but the LEM set multiple precedents. It was, after all, the only true spaceship. Windows were of Chemcor 0312 glass, which not only had to handle pressure, but also the high stress loads applied to it as part of the structural design and securing methods used on the LEM. It thus had to remain rigid and impervious to heat stress and warping. Like most soda cans, cars and helicopters, the basic integrity its body panels could be destroyed with a screwdriver. But for its intended purpose it had slightly more outer protection than all of the above. The LEM was a phenomenal machine.

@david45ross _"So I spent years looking and searching for information concerning the landings"_ and what did you find ... I also spent years researching information about the 9 Apollo missions to the moon and back ...here's a summary... 1. There are over 8,000 photos available to the public of the moon landing missions. 2. There are thousands of hours of video too. 3. Hundreds of kilograms of lunar material that has been studied and verified by astronomers and geologists all over the world and showed chemical signs of being on the moon. 4. The LRRR data laser retroreflector arrays left by Apollo 11, and other subsequent Apollo missions, can still be interacted with today by using powerful enough lasers here on Earth. 5. The SELENE photos which show the damage to the lunar surface where we landed the Apollo missions. 6. The Chang'e 2 photos, which show the lander base and the flags. 7. Chandrayaan-2, which managed to photograph another Apollo lander base. 8. A group at Kettering Grammar School, using simple radio equipment, monitored Soviet and U.S. spacecraft and calculated their orbits. 9. Pic du Midi Observatory, which watched Apollo missions all the way to the moon. 10. The Lick Observatory observations during the return coast to Earth produced live television pictures broadcast to United States west coast viewers via KQED-TV in San Francisco 11. Larry Baysinger, a technician for WHAS radio in Louisville, Kentucky, independently detected and recorded transmissions between the Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface and the Lunar Module. He could only detect messages FROM the lunar vehicles and not to them, cause the earth was between him and Houston. Also, backyard amateurs all around the world were able to tune in on the Apollo audio (not the video, that would have taken bigger hardware, but, the audio was easy) by pointing their Yagi and/or dishes at the moon. Hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of people in many countries did exactly that. 12. The Soviet Union, who monitored the missions at their Space Transmissions Corps, who's leader Vasily Mishin, in an interview for the article "The Moon Programme That Faltered", describes how the Soviet Moon programme dwindled after the Apollo landing. 13. The absurdity that thousands of people who worked on the Apollo missions would have to be kept silent for years and years without a single person coming forward to claim it was a fraud. 14. In October-November 1977, the Soviet radio telescope RATAN-600 observed all five transmitters of ALSEP scientific packages placed on the Moon surface by all Apollo landing missions excluding Apollo 11. Their selenographic coordinates and the transmitter power outputs (20 W were in agreement with the NASA reports. 15. Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission beginning in July 2009 show the six Apollo Lunar Module descent stages, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) science experiments, astronaut footpaths, and lunar rover tire tracks. These images are the most effective proof to date to rebut the "landing hoax" theories. Although this probe was indeed launched by NASA, the camera and the interpretation of the images are under the control of an academic group - the LROC Science Operations Center at Arizona State University, along with many other academic groups. At least some of these groups, such as the German Aerospace Center, Berlin, are not located in the US, and are not funded by the US government. 16. After the images shown here were taken, the LRO mission moved into a lower orbit for higher resolution camera work. All of the sites have since been re-imaged at higher resolution. Comparison of the original 16 mm 17. Apollo 17 LM camera footage during ascent to the 2011 LRO photos of the landing site show an almost exact match of the rover tracks. 18. Further imaging in 2012 shows the shadows cast by the flags planted by the astronauts on all Apollo landing sites. The exception is that of Apollo 11, which matches Buzz Aldrin's account of the flag being blown over by the lander's rocket exhaust on leaving the Moon. 19. Spain and Australia were 2/3rds of the DSN that received all of the TV broadcasts from the moon. 20. Dozens of tracking stations around the world (including from enemies) used radar and radio telescopes to track all of the missions. You can find more info about this on MIT's site. The tracking was accurate to within 1 mile. 21. Spain had the largest telescope on Earth at the time, and used it to photograph the SIVB fuel dumps around the moon (which spanned out for miles, thus were visible to a large enough telescope), as well as the Apollo 13 debris and gas field (same dynamic). 22. There are more than 100,000 photos taken from lunar orbit. 23. The Jodrell Bank Observatory tracked the movements of the Eagle Lunar Module from the beginning of its descent clear down to the lunar surface by monitoring the doppler shift in its telemetry signal.

They also paid out huge sums of money and blueprints of the Saturn V rocket to the Soviet Union in return for their silence ... to make it even more convincing they paid the Australians to make this fake movie... kzread.info/dash/bejne/jH9s2bCoecaahdY.htmlfeature=shared.

Look, the wealth gap between the top 10% of Americans and the lowest 10% has risen 38% in the past 20 years. Do you seriously think rich people, in ANY country, give a damn about the people who are starving, suffering terrible deprivation, denial of education, healthcare, housing and job opportunities? Nah, they would say 'well that's just an incentive to succeed'. I promise you, these people are utterly selfish, detached from reality and incapable of empathy. We are a profoundly flawed species.

Really? Do you know how many billions of dollars the US has thrown at the homeless issue? And its still here getting worse because of all the others coming across the border. You have to remember that government creates problems, they never solve them. So much of yours and my taxes go to bureaucrats, etc., so they can ask for more money next year. Why don't you think we have cures for diseases, even the common cold? Its not good business. Its how the world operates. Homelessness will never go away, it keeps too many gov't people employed. Look at the IRS, they hired 87,000 more after Jan 2021. Government always wants MORE government.

Here's a question I can't seem to answer. Why are all the tiny thrusters on the sides of the LEM always so shiny and clean? I've never seen a photo or video showing anything being ejected out of them.

Those thrusters burn Aerozine 50 with dinitrogen tetroxide. This reaction leaves no solid residue, no soot. The reaction also does not create a bright flame, at least not in a vacuum. In our atmosphere the flame is more visible due to reaction with atmospheric oxygen.

Same with the ascent engine on lunar take-off - you can only see it at pitch-over, when the LRV camera looks into the thrust chamber.

13:48 I saw a youtube vid that said Artemis arent going to do the same.

It took $100,000,000,000 Billion dollars in 1969. The present NASA yearly budget is approximately $20 billion. That barely covers JPL, telescopes, Mars missions, asteroids and costs to operate the ISS for one year. All USA organizations must post a plan and yearly budget. The budget must be approved by Congress.

Math is not your strong suit. Apollo cost $25.4 billion from 1962 to 1972, total, or about $2.5 billion per year. The US federal budget in 1965 was $122 billion. NASA was getting about 2% of the federal budget each year. The defense spending was $54 billion in 1965. NASA was getting about 4% of the defense budget. Today NASA gets about 0.5% of the annual budget.

I don't get why the LM had to be soo lightweight when it was going to be flying in a place that had 1/6 earth's gravity anyways

@h.dejong2531

3 ай бұрын

The LM had to be lightweight, because one kg added to the LM increased the weight of the rocket by a lot more than that. This is known as the 'tyranny of the rocket equation'. When the LM gets heavier, the Service Module needs more fuel, which makes it heavier, so the third stage needs even more fuel, etc. The margins of performance were tiny: add too much fuel, and the rocket is now too heavy to get off the ground.

NASAs number one concern is safety, as long as it doesn’t cost to much.

At 32 minutes, 30 seconds, a small technical glitch with the horizontal, flag support is explained. In doing so, it clears up a misunderstanding among those who don't believe that the moon landing occurred.

They used large diameter, big foot pads because of the belief that the moon had been bombarded for millions of years and would have deep dust. Not until Armstrong stepped on it did they discover it was mere millimeters deep.

The Surveyor missions were designed to find that out, so before Apollo 11 they knew the dust layer was not deep.
