When I was 14, I started collecting various films and materials related to the space program.
Eventually, I found it annoying to have to fumble around all the raw footage; it was a nuisance. I started to centralize them by editing them on my computer into a single, unified "video" that presented all the necessary information and topics. Eventually, the effort, production value, and overall detail began to grow. What started out as a series of videos for "me" became a hobby -- a project. That's how Homemade Documentaries was born. I have a small circle of friends who "proofwatch" and review with me, but this is essentially a one-man show. I wouldn't be able to do it without the wonderful support of other spaceflight channels, particularly Lunarmodule5..and of course, all of you.

Wow!!! As a long time Apollo history geek, this was an amazingly detailed account! I had no idea that these videos existed but I must echo the other commentors here that this was done very well! Kudos!!
Any televised launches of anything or a solar eclipse, I always got to stay home from school.
Man I'm going to miss Kerbal Space Program
Where’s it going?
I was 10 years old wane Apollo 13 want for the moon.
This is probably the best documentary I have ever watched. The list of information with minute detail is wonderful. I grew up in the 1960's and watched all this happen on TV. Watching this video showed me so much about the Gemini program that I never knew. Thank you so very much!
Outstanding. I don't know if there's an award for a youtube documentary, if there is this is the only nominee and certain winner. Magnificent.
What an amazing documentary! I’ve already watched the Voyager one and both parts of Gemini all back to back to back and I’m really looking forward to watching the rest of your content
Your use of Elder Scrolls music is **chefs kiss**
This is so good!
I wonder if the person who refused the request for on orbit photography has ever been held to account for that decision? If not then I really hope Karma is a thing and pays them seven visits.
Amazing documentary. I can't stand mainstream ones, as they are created with 'audience is stupid, and needs repetitions' mindset;
Sounds like a Summer Day where I live, and that is still too Hot
HIDDEN GEM! HIDDEN GEM!!!
One curious anomaly never mentioned when discussing the guidance systems of the Voyagers is the model of the solar systems path through space has been changed since they were launched. From a slowly revolving elliptical to a spiraling one traveling at blistering speeds. One can easily see how this discrepancy would hinder navigation.
That is incorrect on two counts. 1. By 1970, we already knew the solar system is traveling through space. 2. That speed makes no difference to Voyager’s navigation.
The footage they grabbed of the live launch of a Polaris SLBM from the USS Ben Franklin is quite amazing. I'd never seen that footage before.
I am guilty of not knowing anything much about the specifics of each Apollo mission, even as a fan of the space program. But WOW. This was thrilling to watch! I am going to go rectify more of my ignorance now. Thanks for your excellent work!
Your Homemade Documentaries are better than 95% of everything 'professionally' available out there.
I was just 9 years old wane Apollo 11 want to the Moon and Back.
Don't use the term "Comrade" when referencing Americans, save it for those Russians...Lol
is this pronouncement of “Gemini” correct?
I explore this exact question in Part One. The short version: most historians believe the “Jiminy” pronunciation was a reflection of southern culture as a result of many of NASA’s facilities being located in southern states. (Huntsville, Houston, The Cape just to name a few). As you were hopefully able to tell in this film, most astronauts and talking heads used the -ee pronunciation with only a few exceptions, notably Bob Seamans, who was from Massachusetts. The most direct secondary material we have that addresses this comes from a NYT article published in 1965. www.nytimes.com/1965/04/03/archives/nasa-clears-up-way-gemini-is-pronounced.html Many seem to have adopted the position that “-eye” is used for the constellation, and “-ee” is used for the spacecraft. I hope this provides some insight into my editorial choices in the film. You aren’t the first to ask, and you won’t be the last.
Wow. This is so special.
Well since NASA just re established communication with Voyager it seems only right I watch this again....
It's so cool to see and hear Eisenhower talking~!
I was eight years old when Apollo 11 went to the Moon. When they were on the Moon, I mistakenly believed that Collins landed with Armstrong and Aldrin and had to stay in the LM while they went outside. That would have been pretty strange.
These are by far the best documentaries on NASA and spaceflight.
These docs are better than what you can find on History Channel, DSC, PBS, BBC etc.
Since this video came out I've listen to it all least 50 times at work😅
As bad as it sounds, im happy your not a high view high sub channel. I feel this way because its like i stumbled upon some treasures in a landfill full of documentaries with poor music to audio volume ratios, and over use of cg effects as well as embellishment or twisting the facts. This is such great content, and you should be proud of all the work you have done. Hell, as far as i can tell your Voyager documentary does a far better job of presenting and thoroughly tieing the missions together than anything else out there. So far its my favorite. Do you plan on doing one on the Spirit and Opportunity rovers on Mars?
Totally came here from your space docs - and got jump scared by the Kings! Man that's a throwback, one of my boomer instructors in A&P school loved their stuff
Your videos are AMAZING ❤
All this shitty music
Here's the NOVA regarding MOL, the Manned Operating Laboratory. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lIt61tF_e5SsYrQ.htmlsi=_IRVNAHeC0Z1IL2p
There weren't nothing gonna stop the Icy Commander from walking on the Moon. And to be honest, I'm not sure I'd want to fly with him.
If these homemade documentaries are truly homemade then I have to commend whoever is putting in the time and work to make them better than some you would see on the history Channel. Most my life I have always watched anything concerning space flight and especially the Apollo program. I've seen footage on some of these that I have not seen before.. That's exciting to me. Makes me wonder how much footage there still is out there that hasn't been seen.. Thank you whoever you are for providing the footage in a clean and educational manner. Please keep it going!!!
I know I am a little late to the game here as far as your "Homemade Documentaries" So glad the algorithm placed in front of me something of this quality. I grew up in the Antelope Valley in southern California so aviation and cutting edge aviation runs in my blood. Both of my in-laws worked at Skunkworks there in Palmdale.. What I am getting at is these Documentaries are every bit as good as anything I've watched from Discovery, History, and PBS, if not better. I know it's a lot of time and work but these are incredibly well done..
great documentary!
They will outlast earth and us humans…
Funny how NASA executives think naming spacecraft iconic/funny names means the Astronauts aren't taking the space program seriously when they aren't the ones literally putting their lives on the line! Yea, Imma strap myself into a capsule on top of this ICBM, completely risking death in a myriad of ways, but naming a spacecraft is an issue....
How much do I love this channel? So much I'm watching everything again!
I was 12 years old when this happened, and i remember it like it was yesterday. Ir happened when American exceptionalism was still powerful, and on display for the whole world to see. The pride felt bringing these men home was equally powerful, and something i miss today.
The US Space program did more to benefit mankind, and improve life on earth than any social program in history. More than all social programs combined.
They fit a square peg in a round hole.
Great work! Thanks♥
Thank you
What’s with all the metric system you use? I’m pretty NASA works with miles, pounds, feet.
I try to use both, but metric is playing ‘big spoon’ here since the JPL mission bulletin updates published from 1977-present provided figures primarily in metric.
I thought those translations you are familiar with may be done by the Public Affairs Office. Internally, most scientific endeavours use metric.
Part II. Part III maybe, or Apollo.
Better than the Tom Hanks film.
Tenía 7 años (I has got 7 years old) y fue la primera vez que vi televisión (and it was the first time that I watched TV). Ahora tengo 62 años (now I've got 62 years old). Nunca lo he olvidado (I never don't forget it). Thanks NASA!
I thought it was the end of the age of Piscies.
I FINALLY found time to watch. Thanks, Jackson for another masterpiece. Never apologize for the delays you experienced...that's called life and we all live there. I knew Gemini experienced problems, but I had no idea how many. I believe we are all in awe of the folks who were able to pull this project together. I am very much looking forward to your next project. Cheers!
Werner von Braun, a proud Nazi and the engineer who led the development of the V1 and V2 vengeance weapons, and who became a celebrated NASA leader. This man's efforts killed thousands of innocent victims in the UK. Yet, this man never paid for his crimes. The entire US space program was built upon technologies that were developed by the Nazis to kill civilians.
Unfortunately a lot of technology has come from war criminals, wars incentivize the creation of new technology
