Apollo Program: Tragedy and Triumph (All Parts)

  • This is the dramatic story of NASA's Apollo Program, beginning with President Kennedy's ambitious deadline for a lunar landing by the end of the decade, in response to Soviet success with Sputnik and cosmonaut Yuri Gargarin. We look at how Werner von Braun, a former rocket scientist of the Third Reich, played a leading role in NASA's planning. After groundbreaking success with the Mercury and Gemini missions, NASA was rocked by the Apollo 1 disaster, in which all three crew members (Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee) were killed in an accidental fire on the launch pad. NASA overhauled its designs and methods to achieve a successful manned launch with Apollo 7. Then came the launch of Apollo 8 aboard the mighty Saturn V rocket - the largest and most powerful rocket ever seen. The mission was a complete success, culminating in the first manned orbit of the moon, and the capture of the legendary 'Earthrise' photograph by astronaut Bill Anders.
    NASA's next challenge was to test the world's first true 'spacecraft' - the Lunar Module, as well as identify what risks the moon's unexpected 'mascons' posed to future Apollo missions. But in 1969, everything was in place for the Apollo Program to make history, with the first lunar landing attempt - a mission which would test the skills of crew-members Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins to their limit.
    Following the success of Apollo 11, and the fulfilment of Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the Moon, questions hung over the future of the Apollo Program. With declining public interest in Moon missions, and government funding slashed, NASA focused on scientific research. But the final phase of the Program is best remembered for the dramatic near-disaster of Apollo 13, in which the ingenuity of astronauts and Mission Control was pushed to the limit.

My bet would be that long after the great conflicts and upheavals of the 20th century are forgotten, this will be the moment that is still remembered in a thousand years time!

      Sorry to sound cynical - but you can only speculate at the amount of palm-greasing and backstage politicking that must have been evident in order to ensure that certain astronauts were given particular assignments on these Apollo missions - Alan Shepherd's on Apollo 14 for example. Playing golf on the moon's surface on a 'serious' scientific mission ? What a t*sser.

    As a long-term aerospace nerd I've read everything I could get my hands on and watched tons of documentaries on space exploration. I'd never have thought one could condense the Apollo Program into a one-hour presentation and touch on any meaningful portion of the story. You've managed it, though, with a great overview that hits all the milestones, covers the challenges and mishaps, acknowledges the contribution of those on the ground as well as the astronauts, and places the program in not only a technical but also a social and historic context. Brilliant!

    I remember seeing this live on Xmas Eve in 1968. My grandmother was ready to go with us to Xmas Eve church services. However, she lost her balance and nearly fell and almost broke her hip. I grabbed her arms and held onto her, called out to my parents and brothers for help. We decided not to go and placed her health and safety first. She was my buddy and role model and did not die until August of 1971 from natural causes.
    She witnessed many important historical events between the years of her birth in 1887 until her death in 1971, including the Apollo 11 Moon landing in July of 1969, us kids being born and growing up, the Civil Rights Movement, school integration and so many other interesting historical events. She loved history and it was her love of reading and learning that led to many of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to succeed in life. She is still missed by many family members today.

So young and so much she left behind. She knew she had TB when she found out she was pregnant and insisted on going through it anyway. She died 2 weeks after my Great Aunt Bertha was born. Such legacies should never be forgotten. I was a kid in '68 and there was a lot going on with us around that time too.. Grandfather was dying in hospital and it wasn't an easy time. People come and go but their legacies should never be forgotten!

      It actually was, too. Like literally. The Apollo landers were designed so that once they got a couple feet off the ground, probes attached to the legs would light up a contact light in the cockpit, and the engine would be shut down, and the lander would fall the rest of the way to the surface. The legs had a sort of crumble honeycomb structure to them - by design - to absorb the impact. Sort of a one-time-use shock absorber. Apollo 12 didn't cut the engine until they were all the way on the ground, so it landed much softer - and the legs didn't crumble like they were designed to, so the ladder was farther from the ground. It literally WAS a bigger step.

      What was not mentioned here is that the entire space program was put on hiatus as an investigation and top-to-bottom review of NASA and the space program was conducted. It was some time until the next flight and the astronauts could at least know that the way missions were being planned and conducted had been changed.

      Five of the thirty astronauts died during the Apollo and Gemini programs.
      Aldrin was only on Apollo 11 because of the first two deaths in the Gemini program. (Look up Elliot See and Charles Basset).
      Apollo had a 10% probability of losing a crew during the program - and the astronauts knew it. The actual failures that occurred were not predicted in that analysis…

      @@allangibson2408 Hi Allan, I am glad that you mentioned Theodore Freeman, Elliot See, & Charles Bassett. Many seem not to know about them. Also Clifton Williams who was affiliated to NASA when he died in a training accident. I would also include astronaut Robert Lawrence who was with the USAF Manned Orbital Program when he died in an accident in 1967. Space travel is never without risks, according to Wikipedia " a total of 642 people have flown into space under the USAF definition, and 19 of these have died". This gives a fatality rate of some 3% and as you said, this was much higher in the 1960's. Take care.

      It's just not the same, though. Have you ever seen a Saturn V launch, either in person or on video? I don't think any rocket will ever come close to it, in terms of the sheer spectacle of launching. The sound of the turbo pumps spooling up and the igniters going off, to the rumble and shaking of the engines as the rocket begins to lift. All of those little things make the experience that much more amazing. There's just simply nothing else quite like it.

      So fact check is your lesson today, one thing people often get wrong is Von Braun, people for some reason call him Von Brown which is so wrong it's funny, you see their excuse is Braun means Brown in German, so it's just the English way to say Braun yet they still put the German "Von" in front of it, Von the German for "of"..

That's why some people think it's fake. But in reality a lot of hard work, failures, suffering and sacrifices for more than 12 years were behind such a success.

    I’ve seen countless documentaries big and small of the early American space ventures up to the Apollo 13 mission, and every single time without fail, I am absolutely amazed by the collective brilliance, bravery and sacrifice from the thousands of people involved in those programs from JFK to Neil Armstrong to the engineers and scientists to those in manufacturing and on and on. It’s absolutely astonishing.
    The sacrifices of life are obviously the tough part to swallow, including of course the loss of animals which I’m never in support of because of using innocent and unsuspecting life as though they are inanimate devices is disgusting move on our part but that heartless shit aside, this was one of humanities greatest achievements.
    Unfortunately, we bailed on the moon after all of that. We could have been there with an enormous base for so long instead of just now planning to go back.

      The technology wasn’t advanced enough for us to make use of the resources on the Moon.
      In the same way that Persians never made use of the vast oil reserves they conquered in Antiquity, the resources on the Moon were useless to us then.
      We obviously understand much more about fusion and fission, and know that Helium on the Moon is a goos fuel source.
      The Apollo missions were exploration, not resource hunting.

      NASA's budget was reduced once the space race was over. They then diverted their budget to other science - Skylab, interplanetary probes, Shuttle, space telescopes. Which also matters when you consider all that was achieved over the decades. The shuttle was revolutionary but it wasn't nearly as simple as thought and it pretty much ate the entire budget from the 1980s onward, followed by the ISS. It's only now that we're going back to small space capsules that we can actually do something more.

      Too bad he didn't live to see it. And, I've heard others say stuff like, "he didn't really mean he wanted others to go to the moon after him, he just says that because it's politically correct to say it, and he really just wanted to be the last man on the moon forever." Well, if that's the case, he was a really great actor, because every time I met him, he was complaining about each presidential administration that didn't push for new moon missions. He met most (if not all?) presidents since his mission, and always lobbied them to pressure congress to fund more moon missions. He was careful not to completely bash the presidents, but, he made his point completely clear that he was serious about it, and really disliked the politicians who sought to kill programs like Constellation (which would have sent people back to the moon, had the funding continued). I never once heard him express any joy whatsoever in the fact that he was the last man on the moon. It's the title of his book, but, unless he's a fantastic actor, he didn't really want/like that role, and wanted there to be more missions.
