    More spacey stuff and some recommendations below ►
    Enormous liberties have been taken with this one; some of the footage isn’t from Apollo 11 (the mission we chat about here), but subsequent missions to the moon. Footage was really quite difficult to find, so hopefully you can forgive me playing a little visually loose with the truth.
    Also the Soviet space program was barely even mentioned in the video. I’ve often thought it’s a bit sad that the Soviet Union got the first satellite into space, the first doggos (let’s not discuss it), the first man, the first woman, the first probe to the moon, the first spacewalk, and the first robot on another celestial body - yet the winner’s medal generally goes to the US for reaching the moon, and doing it so brilliantly. (Which they did, and which it was.)
    Not in any way meaning to discredit the US here, I’d just like to urge you to spare a thought for those other clever men and women a continent away who were - at the very same time - also taking marvellous and brave strides into space.
    I’ve had quite a fascination with the Apollo program over the years, and space in general. If it’s something you’re interested in too, here’s the stuff I really, really enjoyed reading and watching. (No one’s paying me for this, I just dig them. The audiobook versions are great too.)

    Before uploading this video I had a fairly long conversation with a meme-knowledgeable friend about whether dabbing would be appropriate in a thumbnail. I wasn’t sure what dabbing is.
    She assured me that since an astronaut’s doing it, it’s fine.

    My dad was an aerospace engineer in the 60s. He worked for Martin Marietta, designing ICBMs, when I was born in Denver (no shit, it says "Father's place of employment: Missile Plant" on my birth certificate). He got hired by a NASA subcontractor in 1966, and we moved to Huntsville Alabama, where all the Apollo design work was done. My daddy was a spaceman, all the kid's daddies were spacemen. He worked there all the way through the Skylab missions, then in 73, it all wound down, and he found work in the nuclear field, and we moved away.
    I have a coin from him, they gave one out to all the key people, made from the metal of the Apollo 11 spacecraft, and stamped with a caption and picture of the event.
    It was a strange and exciting time to be alive.

    Bonus Urine Fact:
    Yuri Gagarin was of course the first human in space; a Soviet Union cosmonaut. During the bus ride out to his rocket - Vostok 1, he realised he had to pee. He decided to relieve himself on the back tire of the bus. For the cosmonauts who came after, it was considered bad luck not to do this on one's journey out to the launch pad also. The tradition endures today. (Given to anatomical restraints with a spacesuit, ladies generally prepare the urine beforehand in a small bottle or vial and deposit it with a throw)
    Apparently there was a somewhat similar tradition before US shuttle launches of playing poker until the commander lost a hand, thereby using up all of the day's bad luck.

    2:22, Bonus Urine Fact:
    Yuri Gagarin was of course the first human in space; a soviet union cosmonaut. During the bus ride out of to his rocket, - Vostok 1, he realized he had to pee. He decide to relieve himself on a black tire of the bus. For the cosmonauts who came after, it was considered bad luck not to do this on one's journey out to the launch pad also. The tradition continues today. (Given to anatomical constraints within a spacesuit, ladies generally prepare the urine beforehand in a small bottle or bile and deposit it with a throw.)
    Apparently there was a somewhat similar tradition before US shuttle launches of playing poker until the commander lost a hand, thereby using up all of the day's bad luck.

      I actually have that badge... Well, not that exact badge since I'm in a different country, but an analog. Me and my patrol got stuck in a thunderstorm while canoeing on a lake. There was a lightning strike just a few hundred meters away, and our boat almost got toppled over from the waves. We were screaming and praying to god thinking we were going to die, we were taking in water and my friend was trying to get it out using his boot as a bucket, meanwhile l tried to keep the boat from toppling over. Never been so scared in my life, but never have I had so much fun either.
      If there is a god somewhere, he either saved us that day, or he was just really pissed off with us. Either one is plausible.

    For those who were wondering at 2:22, some words appear they say.
    "BONUS URINE FACT
    Yuri Gagarin was of course the first human in space; a Soviet Union cosmonaut. During the bus ride out to his rocket - Vostok 1, he realized he had to pee. He decided to relieve himself on the back tire of the bus. for cosmonauts who came after, it was considered bad luck not to do this on one's journey out to launchpad also, the tradition endures today.
    (Given to anatomical constraints within a spacesuit, ladies generally prepare the urine beforehand in a small bottle or vial and deposit it with a throw.)
    Apparently, there was a somewhat similar tradition before the US shuttle launches of playing poker until the commander lost a hand thereby using up all of the day's bad luck.

      @@lowkey_entertaining9723 // Now now don't be so pessimistic, there are some points to what he said despite the world-views present here. Most likely, he's talking about all things a person can find passion in.
      A person who can be passionate about astronomy will most likely turn humble at the realization of how insignificantly small the each of us are.
      This most likely will apply to astronauts who have been to space.
      Those who made it to the moon will leave all semblance of history that our world made, into a place entirely unknown, a place more harsh than the place we're all born from; to leave behind earth and travel to space, is to subsequently realize and acknowledge the many subsequent miracles that happen in the earth.
      And anyone who is passionate about Astronomy, will at some point want to see this kind of view that captivates the hearts of astronauts alike; just breathing in a place outside of the planet is already making history itself.
      But it doesn't have to be exactly that example only, nor does it have to be astrology in its entirely, it can be creative writing, singing in the music industry, dancing in a place vastly different from home such as a ballroom.
      It's really just passion about this and that, someone who is passionate over something will have changed for the better, and become more assured; whether that change is good for others or not.

    Honestly this video made me feel something i felt when i read about the apollo program as a kid. The magic, the science, the technology. We DID this. This happened. There wheree humans walking on that bright thingy in the sky. This was everything for me when i was a child. And this video brought back this overwelming feeling of magic.
