Film sequences are shown in the proper context as much as possible. When allowed by the original framing, the footage was manually cropped to 16:9, panning to preserve areas of interest. When not, 4:3 was maintained. No image details were lost.
Wide-angle interior Command Module footage was corrected to remove fisheye lens distortions.
The footage was AI remastered on some segments, besides the usual color correction. Ambient audio was recreated based on historical elements.
Period narration (from several documentaries and progress reports) is used in an attempt to capture the feeling of the times. Language and attitudes should be seen in that context.

============================================
Apollo 10 (May 18 - 26, 1969) was a human spaceflight, the fourth crewed mission in the United States Apollo program, and the second (after Apollo 8) to orbit the Moon. It was a "dress rehearsal" for the first Moon landing, testing all the components and procedures just short of actually landing.
While astronaut John Young remained in the Command Module orbiting the Moon, astronauts Thomas Stafford and Gene Cernan flew the Apollo Lunar Module (LM) to a descent orbit within 8.4 nautical miles (15.6 km) of the lunar surface, the point where powered descent for landing would begin.
After orbiting the Moon 31 times, Apollo 10 returned safely to Earth, and its success enabled the first actual landing (Apollo 11) two months later.
Apollo 10 set the record for the highest speed attained by a crewed vehicle: 39,897 km/h (11.08 km/s or 24,791 mph) on May 26, 1969, during the return from the Moon.
The mission's call signs were the names of the Peanuts characters Charlie Brown and Snoopy, who became Apollo 10's semi-official mascots.

Apollo 11 and 13 get so much attention, but to me, Apollo 10 and 16 were the best missions, and all of the crewed Apollo missions were equally amazing! They should get more recognition.
I met Charlie Duke in person in 2019.
Great guy!
@davidharrison7014 seen Jim Lovell before, didn't speak, I wanted to but thought I'd leave him to his own device, but it was so cool to just see him
@@leighlowe1069 Where I met many of the former Apollo astronauts was at the SpaceFest convention at the Start Pass Resort in Tucson, Arizona in 2013 and 2019.
@@leighlowe1069 I ran into Neil Armstrong in the Delta Lounge at the Cincinnati Airport about 2007. He walked in and sat down about three seats from me. I had the same feeling. Didn't want to disturb him. But it was amazing.
For me it was Apollo 8. As a kid that trip to the Moon for the first time just stunned me.
Outstanding. Such an underrated mission. I am currently reading John Young's autobiography, and even he doesn't have much to say about it, but this was fantastic. Thank you so much.
"I am currently reading John Young's autobiography, and even he doesn't have much to say about it" - classic John Young. A twinkle in his eye, but barely a breath about his greatness.
I think John Young was probably the most stoic astronaut ever, and I say that as a compliment. He was the strong, silent type, that prefers to speak through actions rather than words.
AND: more than 50 years ago. When I see space x kind of struggling right now its almost like they try to invent the wheel once again.
I met Gene Cernan back in the late 90s. I told him that I (as a second grader) witnessed the launch of Apollo 17 from only 15 miles away in the middle of the night. It lit up the sky - half daylight and half night. It was the most incredible thing I ever saw. He said that he had a really good view himself!
This was a great production! Good narration, excellent editing and fantastic choice of films and materials. It really explained the mission as I never knew it.
Cernan was a classy guy. When my son was born in 2015 I got a copy of his book and mailed it to him. About a month later I got it back with really nice inscription made out to my boy. Cernan passed away shortly after that.
Amazing documentary! Pre-Apollo 11 missions sadly don't get much recognition, when they were essential for the safe landing of Apollo 11 and later crews.
Apollo 8 and 10 were my favorite missions
Apollo 8 was the most adventurous, i think.@@Ktaurus26
Apollo 8 receives much of the pre-Apollo 11 recognition.
I think 7 and 9 receive the least amount of attention.
It's mindboggling to think that NASA achieved so much in less than a decade.
With 1% of GDP you can do that.
But yeah! We won a cool trophy from the Russians
Merica!!
$ and the unwavering will to see it through
@@helloitsmehb Yeah, probably should have spent the 1% on additional funds for dependent mothers, food stamps, welfare, etc. It is amazing how there are those that choose to ignore what the space program accomplished, simply because it is offensive to their anti-merit based ideology. The space program gave us miniaturized computers, expanded mathematical modeling which was used to develop advanced electronics that power your world, a scientific understanding of our planet, it's weather systems, and the eco-systems we all live in. It gave us telecommunications, advanced medical diagnostic equipment systems and means of analysis. In short the space program of the 60's gave us the world we live in today. But you'd have rather given the money to failed social programs than employ the most brilliant engineers and scientists in the world and focus them on a goal that created the world you live in and stand atop the shoulders of your betters and criticize what they did. SMH.
Yeah. Screw the poor
Just think. 1 percent got them to the moon. Imagine them still with 1 and another 1 for social programs. I'm sure the military will be just fine and dandy less 2 percent.
How does this amazing video have so few likes? Thank you.
No cute kittens, I guess ...
But no dislikes, either!
Was at the science museum in London yesterday where Charlie Brown is on display. I spent ages staring at it. Also a full size mock up of the Apollo 11 Lunar lander, its enormous!
This is excellent. I don’t think I’ve seen a better more in depth look at this particular mission.
Yes, I learned a lot.
Fantastic video ! Very well put together, lots of footage I had never seen before. Thank you and I look forward to more Apollo videos.
Phenomenal work in putting this all together 50+ years later. According to some accounts NASA downplayed the severity of the loss of control upon lunar ascent. Some reports indicated the crew was only seconds away from crashing into the moon.
Absolutely fantastic video ! Footage and clips were absolutely awesome
5 manned missions in 9 months was crazy fast
Shuttle did eight in one year in 1985 including two commands for Crippen.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver
And look what happened the following January.
NASA were very, very fortunate with all six of the moon landings, in addition to 8, 9 and 10 - narrowly averting disaster through sheer ingenuity during Apollo 13.
@@yassassin6425 It's what happens when politics drives space exploration.
Crazy indeed, 10 years from LEO. Without Politics be no Spacing adventures.
@@wildboar7473There were no spacing adventures. This is all trickery with models, photographs, paintings and zero G sequences filmed in a special aircraft.
Its all bollocks
An absolutely first class production! Definitely one to watch again! Thank you :)
Absolutely fantastic video!
You've excelled yourself. Many thanks.
Thank you very much for putting this together. Using original narration from various sources but with enhanced picture quality works wonders! Just what I needed at this moment as we remember with gratitude the contributions to the space program made by Tom Stafford.
My grandfather was one of the chief engineers, he worked for Grumman Aerospace, I believe... He worked on the L.E.M for apollo 10.. Astronauts even stayed at my dad's house... As back then, people didn't use hotels as often as they do now... ❤️
Thank you very much for this awesome documentation!
More of project 'Apollo'..is never enough !
Awesome! Really well done!
Thank you for the time and effort you put into your video, thumbs up.
Those guys are true heroes. All of 450,000 of them.
Second!:) And man, you have a real talent for this stuff. You are really good and if you use it right it will take you to the stars!
Another top video. Cheers!!
Quality stuff. This was a good crew as well 😉
Great video, thanks for this, I’m watching anything I can get my hands on with the early nasa missions from Mercury to Apollo, I love how with A-10 they put a limited amount of fuel in the LEM ascent stage so they couldn’t land incase they got giddy about landing early instead of A-11!
Also: wouldn’t it be great if we could send up a rocket or space craft to snag snoopy out of its orbit and bring it back to earth for studying and then out on display in a museum.
this is just amazing!! thank you!! hopefully we get more soon with SpaceX and NASA.
Have to give Von Braun credit for the performance of the Saturn V. Honestly not sure the missions to the moon would have been successful without him.
As Gene Cernan said, they would have occurred in the 1990s.
I don't think anyone doesn't give him credit
He was a former Nazi scientist who came over to the Americans after WWII.
Great show, thanks!
You really had your hands full, editing & composing this! I saw one of the 'Apollo 10' films you referenced. Viewing it was far more tedious than your enjoyable production.😎👍☕
An underrated mission, indeed. They either missed the orbiter or crashed into the Moon by a hair's breadth, according to Wikipedia. For moments, they lost control of the Lunar Module. Okay, the glitch has not been cleansed from this fascinating video document completely. The "So of the birch remark" has been though, as the violent "pogo"-vibrations of two Saturn V stages. That was the spirit of 1969.
Great. Until i looked it up, i did not know that there was such a dress-rehearsal-mission, an aborted lunar landing as planned.
Life is magnificent: After reading the account on Apollo 10 again last night, the glistening Moon sickle dutifully appeared over the neighbors' roof.
Amazing!!! Thanks
Superb in every way, thank you!
Excellent video 😎 something to take our minds off current world events 🙏
Great statement. Thank you.
Amazing documentary, congratulations. Hail Apollo Program ❤
Fantastic film!! This is the stuff I want to see! The preflight interviews, photo shoots, etc. Are there the same type documentaries for each mission?? Just like this? With old school narration and rare footage I’ve never seen before? I loved the clips with Snoopy.
One thing about Apollo 10 is that this is the most profanity laced mission in the history of spaceflight as Tom Stafford, Gene Cernan, and John Young used those infamous four letter words a total of 230 times. It was so bad that Larry Poland, a faith leader in Florida, wrote to Richard Nixon to demand that NASA curb the inappropriate language because he was concerned about the fact that children were watching this.
He said this about the inappropriate language said on Apollo 10.
'I’ve gotten calls from many people who were astounded that they were broadcasting things like that 240,000 miles from the moon when it’s the kind of language you would expect to see on the restroom wall,' 'It was in serious bad taste and indiscreet, I felt.'
Poland said in a story published in the Orlando Sentinel on May 28, 1969.
WOW for sure amazinge jop thank you
The liftoff footage is beautiful, simply spectacular. 15 seconds, guidance is internal 9:23...the third stage burn for TLI footage is amazing. They are seriously zooming 11:36...and that's only the first few seconds of the 350 second burn. Anybody out there know what the two parallel lines in the lunar surface at 31:03 in the bottom left?!? Parallel rilles? Lastly, easily a nominee for best hair at Flight Control 36:47.
Wow...superb footage and well put together. Looking forward to more!
Amazing
R.I.P. General. Another hero has flown West.
This was really an enjoyable video. The clarity of the clips was top notch, especially for a less famous mission. Can you do one of these for Apollo 9? Thank you.
There will be more documentaries, but in no particular order ;-) Apollo 9 is a great suggestion, because the footage from that mission needs context.
@@RetroSpaceHD 33:56 what was that flying object?

@@mixtv2248 Where did the ice come from in the moon's orbit?
@@pankajsuryavansi9482 well it could've come from the fuel or oxidizier tank of the spacecraft
Interesting about the tunnel issue, which when fixed in Apollo 11, possibly caused the long landing. Prescient at 29:55
This is another great classic documentary about an oft-forgotten mission of great significance.
Then why not do the minor adult courtesy of using your real name?
26:22 "Have you tried turning it off and on again?"
"For those 8 seconds Stafford and Cernan were never in danger". Hmm... 🤔
I never knew about this incident. Nor did I know about the other ones, like the radar that wouldnt work at first.
I never realized that two of the three men to ever make two trips to the Moon were both on this mission. I always knew about Cernan, but never made the connection with Young.
John Young, the first human to orbit the moon solo, and one of three astronauts to go to the moon twice. Truly a special astronaut🎉. Gene Cernan and Jim Lovell are the other two
I'm somewhat familiar with the basics of orbital mechanics, but can someone explain or reference how the "correction burns" work? I'm wondering "in what direction" the delta V is needed.
Those correction burns are minor adjustments on the trajectory. I don't know the magnitude of the corrections, but I think it's in the 10s of m/s. The direction depends on the corrections that has to be made. For example a burn along with the velocity would make the orbit slightly higher, while a burn in the opposite direction would make the orbit slightly lower. Different corrections can be added in a vector sum.
22:50, 31:11 - Earthrise
37:33 as well.
In all the Earth Rise clips, the Earth is lit exactly from “above” the lunar horizon, with the lower half of the planet in shadow. This tells us the location of the sun is directly overhead. And yet the surface of the moon is barely lit. Can anyone help me understand how that can be? Shouldn’t it be glaringly bright?
At 33:23..uper right..doesn't it look like square buildings? Or something like that?
LOL, looks like a little cube.
That's triangular shadows cast by hills.
Would you do a 1958 Atlas Launch the first atlas please.
czcams.com/video/nlKzrsGVWrk/video.html. there it is.
Unsung heros
So essentially, they were doing a test flight in lunar orbit. That's crazy.
What's more, a test ABORT.
It's not uncommon to get a transponder code change. I don't know if it has to do with different ATC facilities or computer compatibility issues or what.
Really excellent video!
15:27 - That object John Young is manipulating there looks like an old 8-inch floppy disk! I don’t they existed yet, and they certainly had no reason to take one onboard even if the did exist.
Actually, the center-hub hole may be a little large for an 8” floppy. Maybe a dust cover for the CO2 scrubber canister? If so though, wouldn’t they want to cover the vent hole in the center? Also, I’d expect the corners to be slightly rounded if so.
Yeah, in some other footage in this vid he was moving a CO2 scrubber canister around. The same square canister the Apollo 13 crew had to fit in a round hole of the LEM somehow.

Astronaut 2: Hey Snoopy!
Astronaut 3: Hey you beauty!

They launched 5 manned missions in 7 months with the Apollo program with 1960's technology to land on the moon. What is taking so long now? Slide rules, transistors, analog gauges, 64 bit memory in the computer. Now we have unlimited memory storage, CAD, super computers, robotics, carbon fiber, on and on. You can safety check the systems a million times on CAD in a few hours versus months of manual calculations. I just don't get it.
Well think for a minute. We don’t want to go again with 60s technology. Fir a number of reasons, including:
It wasn’t anywhere near safe enough for routine travel.
It can’t do the things we want to do, which is establish long term presence, build structures and do useful work. Apollo cousins do that.
It has to done using a proportion of commercial hardware since the future of space exploration will be by commercial organisations.
Also, Apollo required a proportion of national revenue that we couldn’t hope to justify these days. We can’t put in the resources we once did.
The only thing that pisses me off about the From the Earth to the Moon miniseries is that they gave 10 no attention.
It got one scene for about 30 seconds.

I'd even like to add Skylab missions and ASTP (where we will meet Stafford again).
It seems to me that if you have decent footage or video, then AI does a good job of making it look ever better; but it the film or video is poor quality, AI processing only makes it worse.
CAME HERE TO VIEW ALL THE COMMENTS OF THE NAIVE AND GULLIBLE
Its not right, most folks dont even know these guys names like they do 11, 13 and 8 and the Mercury guys
18:18 hes reading Buzz Aldrins script... down four and a half...they immediately cut him off and talk about a naval drill...also strange that captions stop working when he talks about four and half down, then once they change the subject starts up again.
…Uh, yeah. And? Those are standard commands for the lunar module pilot to give in order to make adjustments. Are you guys THIS desperate to prove a conspiracy?
This video is completely inaccurate in the telling of what went wrong when the lunar lander descent stage was jettisoned. The AGS (Abort Guidance System) did not fail. It was a crew failure of checklist execution. One of the LEM astronauts powered on the AGS and the other, unaware it had been powered on, cycled the power switch thus turning the AGS system off.
Busllahit
Amazing to me that the crew took absolutely no interest while in cislunar space in looking for stars, other planets, or the Sun.
There was no time. Also, the Sun from space appears twice as bright as we see it from Earth's surface. Blindingly bright. Also, on a dual test flight of a lunar mission, with an abort test, sightseeing was NOT a priority. Lots of Earth observation, though.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Complete ignorant BS. Who told you the Sun was twice as bright in space? Where are the measured values?
@@thedarkmoon2341 This is basic astronomy. Follow along with facts:
Earth's atmosphere attenuates sunlight by about one visual magnitude. (Look up 'attenuate' if need be.)
One visual magnitude is a factor of 2.512.
So, from space, or the lunar surface vacuum, the Sun appears about twice as bright, and more white, than it does from Earth's surface. Atmosphere both dims and filters sunlight.
"Complete ignorant BS"
Why would you snarl like a rabid dog at facts on sight? This is basic astronomy.
@@thedarkmoon2341 Also, from the vicinity of the Moon, Earth shines at magnitude -18, which is dazzlingly bright.
Your eyes would be washed out by sunlight and earthlight.
Faint stars would be impossible to discern through thick, small windows that are also reflecting cabin interior lights.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Find me measured values of the lunar surface in lux.
Too bad human progress like that has been replaced with an educational focus on gender studies and political correctness.
🤦♂️
It hasn’t. Grow up.
So in 1969 We had SR-71 B-birds & U2 Spy planes popping pics from 20 miles altitude with resolution enough to read a newspaper headline, but send 21 men to the moon with an 8mm handheld from Woolworths.
Total. Horseshit.
since you believe in the hoax theory, tell me why they didn't use those more sophistcated camers for the supposed fake? and by Apollo 15 they were taking some high res video using newly developed technology attached to the rover.
Budget concerns! lol
Triggered much, Mr. Short School Bus?
"send 21 men to the moon with an 8mm handheld from Woolworths" Why would you use spy plane cameras on the lunar surface? Also, as a subhuman, you overlooked the Lunar Orbiter series of missions.
So you believe amazing technology but then don’t.

You subhumans will not speak.
Nasa and their Hollylwood writers wrote this script as a comedy since there were little worries, staying in low earth orbit just like 8 did.
Jesus called. Your tinfoil hat is ready
Low earth orbit? So why didn't the Soviets call us out on our lie? No way to fake radio transmissions to and from the moon and there were several countries, tracking stations around the world, as well as amateur radio operators that listened to transmissions during the Apollo missions.
