Yep he held his breath flying through the Van Allen radiation belts

Fantastic

Episode 7 of the "From the Earth to the Moon" miniseries covers Apollo 12 quite well ......

Wow!

We should be doing so well as they. Not sure the next Lunar missions will have the same mix of competence, experience, and training as Apollo 12. If they make it at all.

30:18 he sounds so relaxed about such a dangerous technologically challenging manoeuvre, lifting off from the moon and docking with the mothership by eye and by hand. Yeeehaaahhh

Nope, not ”by eye and by hand”. Computer-guided, timed to the second based on radar observations of the CM position. Only the final approach and docking, once the two craft were near each other, were done manually.

The cost and man power required to get there in the 60s and 70s is WAY more than what it will take with Artemis.

31:52 its really starting to look a bit like thunderbirds after all these years, watch the little wobble in the animation 😂

Rather than saying "forgotten" I would say this was a subtle but ultimate flex of national prowess, think about it, if the Americans could deliver something hundreds of thousands of miles away to hit a target with pinpoint accuracy (it's like hitting a dart with a second dart), what does that say about the Russians, it would be too easy for America to deliver a warhead just a few thousand miles away to wherever they wanted, down to a Faberge egg on display inside the Kremlin, if Apollo 11 was trying to send the message of "We can keep a promise", then Apollo 12 is "We are just showing off so suck it LOL"

There's a lot in what you say. The objective was to generate fear of war in the enemy or at home and create a taxpayer funded endless military industrial complex. And that money hungry establishment wanted many more missions to make more billions in profit for no discernible purpose

The camera that recorded the first steps was installed on the LM, in a compartment that could be opened by the astronaut as he stood at the top of the ladder.

@akdragosani， don`t be foolish！ 當年美國人登陸月球，至今事隔五十多年，全世界年長的人過往如果沒有很長期去關注美蘇的太空活動的話(年輕的人就更不用說了)相信很多人在記憶中已經淡忘了美國的登月資訊了。所以今天如果有一些對美國有政治歧見的別具用心者，帶着科學的口脗去指說美國登月有什麼什麼疑點，怎樣是假的，很容易令人相信他們的說話以為美國真是做假的登月。 但是於我們這些從196幾年少年時代已經很留意美國的太空發展資訊及登月史的人來說，那些人云亦云的所謂疑點，都只是無的放矢，捕風捉影。有網民說美國前國務卿基辛格也說登月是做假的(當網民是說真的，不是捏造)据報大約有25%的美國人也是相信登月做假。基辛格也只是其中之一的傻瓜吧！也有網民說所謂人類第二個登陸月球的奥德靈(或譯艾德靈)也說沒有去過月球。當然那麼多人包括記者幾乎天天有人去追問他，他感覺太煩厭，就隨便回答追問者說，沒有呀！(你滿意未呀的意思)你又當他是說真心話，未免太天真了！据聞美國太空總署原先打算去出版一本書去反駁一切的所謂做假的疑點，但卻被決策人及一些科學家反對，說不值得去花資源，時間，精神去反駁那些人的無知，幼稚的多疑。不好去做笨蛋的對手。我猜想 如果在東方的社會裡，NASA或政府可用法律去追究出版''我們沒有去過月球''那書籍的作者，控告他譭謗NASA沒有去過月球，並引起世界性的軒然大波。但在西方國家的美國，採取法律去控告作者，勝算機會相信很低，因為美國憲法保障人民有言論自由，創作自由。作者說什麼，信不信由你的。不能扼殺創作自由的，NASA告他會是浪費彈藥！我們只有信這一句''真的假不了，假的真不了''不會是謊言說一百遍就會成真的！

Exactly. The more you see of this and their need to persuade in the commentary makes it more preposterous every day. It's the most technologically advanced human endeavour in history and they're acting like space cowboys on a joyride

The so-called return postponed 100 times. Instead of the so-called return, more videos made in a film studio. If you flew to play golf 50 years ago, why can't you fly to Low Earth Orbit now? Technology is many times better, computers are millions of times better. We are waiting and here are more announcements: no rocket, no suits, no technology.

We have a permanent presence in LEO now, and hundreds of astronauts have been there. Artemis is being funded at 1/25 the annual budget that Apollo had. Basically, the US government said to NASA, ‘we want you to go to the moon, but we’re not giving you any extra money to do so’, so only a trickle of funding is being spent on developing all the hardware we need to get to the moon. It’s obvious it’s going to take longer than Apollo did.
