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.

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.

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?

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. czcams.com/video/bWFtoFK1F2Q/video.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♥

What’s with all the metric system you use? I’m pretty NASA works with miles, pounds, feet.

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.

Rest in peace Ed Stone. His scientific projects have changed the course of history forever

some good wholesome relief after watching the apollo 15 mission

Quite staggering quality. The best documentary on the subject, full stop. I enjoyed every second.

Lol I chose this video to play while i fell asleep, but found myself fully enthralled and interested in it 🤣

did this guy really say "jeminny"? bro

I hope I live long enough to see the results of probes that melt/drill into Europa and Enceladus. There may be microbes elsewhere in the Solar system, but I'd bet decent money things have proper fins and/or tentacles on those two moons. Obviously I have no evidence to believe there definitely is life, but liquid water seems to be the magic solvent for life, those moons have plenty of it.

I was excited about a documentary about the Voyager program, but I experienced mild disappointment that it was less than 3 hours long. Also, I'm halfway through and I've only learned about a dozen or so new things. I hope your newer projects are higher quality than this one. Hello there, and thank you for reading this! Before anyone excoriates me for being a prick, I was being a facetious prick. In all honesty, this "homemade" documentary has higher production value than anything I've seen on the History Channel in years, and the depth of information is amazing. I've always been a space nerd since I watched STS-1 launch in 1981, I have a STEM degree, and I was still a nerd when I had a aerospace job in the military. Watching these videos is as close as I want to get to knowing what it must be like for an addict to inherit a fortune, and spend it all on top shelf dope. Thank you.

Every single delivery from you guys is outstanding, thank you for this great job.

Many thumbs up, thanks.
