- From director Todd Douglas Miller (Dinosaur 13) comes a cinematic event 50 years in the making. Crafted from a newly discovered trove of 65mm footage, and more than 11,000 hours of uncatalogued audio recordings, Apollo 11 takes us straight to the heart of NASA's most celebrated mission-the one that first put men on the moon, and forever made Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin into household names. Immersed in the perspectives of the astronauts, the team in Mission Control, and the millions of spectators on the ground, we vividly experience those momentous days and hours in 1969 when humankind took a giant leap into the future.

70mm film is pure wonder. It has unimaginable details, soft texture, and natural color balance at the same time. And in proper storing condition, It always conveys that magnificent impression regardless of the time.
65mm
@@1225KPH This documentary includes both 65mm and 70mm footage, actually.
People born in the last few decades think that film was low-definition
with bad color and lots of smudges and noise back in the 1960s and
1970s. That's because the footage has been poorly preserved, poorly
transferred, and was transferred into low-definition to conserve
bandwidth at the start of the internet age. Those of us alive at the
time well remember that all 70mm footage was hi definition by today's
standards, with pristine color and sharpness. It's great to see some of
it the way it used to appear.
Tape, like from broadcast TV, wasn't good. Analog broadcast TV itself wasn't good. Proper film is beautiful. It's all about the medium.
It only looks this good on the ground. The stuff in space looks much worse because they could lug a bunch of 70mm film and heavy cameras up there.
Wow, I had never given it much thought, but now that you mention that, it's sort of enlightening and actually makes a lot of sense! Thanks for letting us know that :)
The reels used for this movie were only used once, and then put into storage... untill recently found again
the advantages of having recorded on film, if they had recorded on tape, vhs, this could not have been remastered, vhs is very limited to transfer it to high definition, little and nothing can be done to improve that image, instead the film , you can transfer the image to hd, 4k, etc.
Watching this 50 years ago still gives me goosebumps. To today's generation please understand what an accomplishment this was.
that's not true..the fact that you have information at your finger tips at any moment of any day is amazing..not taking anything away from this accomplishment but the internet is far more than just an ad platform
It's the epitome of what humans are capable of. My key fob has more tech then they did and they still landed on the moon completely amazing.
@Tyler Suurkivi I get the point, but think again. If it were not for the Internet could I, a teenager in Korea could be watching this marvellous footage in my room at the middle of night?? I guess only few NASA personnel could've watched this film for the past decades. Both are great achievements and I appreciate them ;)
fuck you nigga. its the boomers that have forgotten science
The mountain of evidence that the moon landing was a fraud has been available now for years (?) why are you people still pretending to believe in what amounts to santa claus? You all must have really low IQs
I still don’t understand how this didn’t get an Oscar nomination.
@John Doe - do you really believe that if the moon landings were fake, the five hundred thousand people who worked as part of the program would keep the secret for fifty years, with not one person selling their story and making a lot of money from it? Really?
It's called *_the Academy's demonstrably corrupt and elitist Documentary branch._** >_
It takes a lot of lobbying to win an academy award.
@hater gater ngl you can generally tell when the academy is trying to be "woke" or "progressive" when the best film nominee director doesn't also get a nomination for best director. This has happened for a couple films like Green Book and Driving Mrs. Daisy...
hater gater You chose a fitting user name.
This is an absolute masterclass in editing. The score adds so much tension... a brilliant film that I’m glad I payed to see in IMAX
I envy you! I missed it on IMAX. Wish I had seen it that way. Watching in a regular theater was already amazing. Can't imagine the scale at seeing it on a 8 story screen!
I watched it in IMAX too! It was loud and beautiful but an annoying kid next kept yelling “I’m ThIrStY” and his dad was like “No”
@Bilal Khalid Your type don't fool anyone, even though you are a fool.
@Bilal Khalid nope, only liar and on top of that an imbecile is you here;)
This in IMAX was the best theater experience ever.
One of the greatest film’s ever made. Seeing it on the IMAX big screen was very powerful, moving, amazing
This film is proof 65mm cameras are awesome.
This movie was unbelievable. Just astonishing. I can't believe how good the restoration is. Everyone needs to see this in school
There was almost no restoration done: they used the original 65mm recording masters that were only used once for reproduction and then put into storage..
I watched this doc twice in cinema.. Was incredible!
I also had a fun moment outside the cinema, where a teenage girl asked her father "why does the quality go from high quality to super grainy?"
I had to jump in and tell her about the different film sizes they used. The father thanked me, he didn't know.
I did three times, once with much younger daughter.
When you watch this film in IMAX, the pre-launch and launch footage is stunning as well as the Navy recovery ships (Archived Todd-65 film found in National Archives). You become immersed in the events. Quite a difference from the 19” to 21” images (NTSC) seen on television.
That was 65mm of the time? wow! I was wondering how those shots looked so good. I thought maybe the director shot that separately and blended it in the film
w9gb I watched it on an old teve and I was mesmerised. Never watched it as a kid.
No one thought it would interest a five year old girl. It would have!
I wish I could've. I got it on Netflix on my home TV and it was amazing. I'd have loved to have seen it on IMAX!
I own this documentary. It's a great one. No narration, just raw footage.
I was a 12-year-old boy when the Apollo 11 moon shot took place, and I clearly remember being VERY engrossed with our space program throughout the 1960s... for that matter, I still am! But I'll tell ya, seeing this digitally enhanced footage of the behind-the-scene happenings of that epic mission is like experiencing a milestone of history with a brand new set of eyes. I am in awe that the makers of this film were able to bring these images into near-razor sharp focus, where colors are vivid and the entirety literally spills off the screen to captivate the viewer. This piece is a fantastic effort in film making and I cannot wait to see it in its entirety!
I was 14 and I know what you mean. I never missed a story involving space all though the '60's.
I was 14 yrs old. I mapped the trajectory of the flight on a huge piece of paper I had found somewhere and taped to a sheet of cardboard. I kept it for years. Every American boy our age was enthralled with the space program and the moon landings. Tell me, how do you feel when these hoaxers call you a befuddled sheep for believing such things? Does this not make you want to rip their heads off?
@@iflick7235 Yes, I get VERY angry at those who call the Apollo missions a hoax, but it's a bit more personal for me. You see, one of my neighbors worked at the North American Aviation complex in Downey, California where they designed, built and tested the Apollo command module. The command module was the part of the spacecraft that endured the hellish 25,000 mph reentry through the earth's atmosphere to safely splashdown in the ocean. I remember that neighbor of mine, that North American Aviation team member, worked extremely long, grueling hours throughout the Apollo space program. I'm confident he did so knowing his efforts helped ensure the survival of the astronauts throughout each of the Apollo missions. But to think his hard work, ethics and patriotism played part in some insane, impossible hoax is beyond the pale, and those who propagate such misinformation, lies and nonsense should be taken to the woodshed and sent to bed early with no supper!
Dean it is amazing!!! I was 9 years old andived in Conn at the time!!! It was a historical experience!!! Ioved the documentary!!
@@iflick7235 Yes. the hoaxers are irritating to me as well. But what has their generation given the country? The Jerry Springer show?
The scene where they suit up, is so intense! And the words of Cronkite are legendary!
Indeed. Watching this caused me to have such pangs of loss recalling my dear, departed loved ones, those who watched the moon landing with me and those who insisted I watch, while missing Walter Cronkite too.
You know a documentary is worth its weight in gold when it doesn't even require its own narration to illustrate the story in vivid detail.
The Apollo missions are to this day the most impressive accomplishment in all of recorded human history. People just don't understand how difficult this was.
That we *can* do things like this despite gargantuan difficulty should be inspiring, but some on the interwebs would rather be lazy, cynical chickenshits and poke fun at the endeavor rather than be astonished that 5 days short of 60 years after Louis Bleriot flew across the English Channel, we managed to sent 3 human to orbit the Moon, land 2 of them on it's surface, and return all 3 home safely.
The effort and ingenuity in any part of the Apollo program is astonishing: naysayers should go download the freely-available manuals and procedures developed by NASA or the peer-reviewed documentation and then try maintain all that effort to make something possible was just a ruse because muh flat earth. Morons!
Before calculators and modern computers. Yet they still calculated exactly where the spacecraft had to be, which orbits to go into. The right inclination, and the right delta velocity. Literally done by hand and with slide rules.
I think the most difficult thing about it is sending the astronauts off in the first place, knowing there is a considerable risk that they won't come back home. Maybe I'm imagining it, but I think I can see that in Deke Slayton. Like a general sending his best soldiers into the deadliest battle.
Hoax
@@TrueBlue-ow1rj Yawn, don't have something more creative in store?
Stunning foootage.
After decades of studying the Apollo program , I’m blown away that after all these years I see clips I have never seen before, but it’s basically „Moonwalk one“ in an extended cleaned up version.
This is the 'Nasa' of all documentaries..hands down. Amazing footage giving the audience a glimpse into a world that has passed. Well done Todd Douglas Miller!!!!
Re: the paper bag Mike Collins is carrying at the end, from his book "Carrying the Fire" :
"There are certain amenities to be observed, such as presenting Guenter Wendt, the czar of the launch pad, with a going-away present. Guenter has spent the past couple of weeks telling me what a great fisherman he is, and how he regularly plucks giant trout from the ocean. In return, I have located the smallest trout to be found in these parts, a minnow really, and have had it, uncured, nailed to a plaque and inscribed GUENTER'S TROPHY TROUT. I carry it now inside a brown paper shopping bag, which Charlie Buckley eyes suspiciously. I am a bit nervous about it myself. What if my awkward gloved hands drop it and it tumbles out in front of all those photographers? They are here to see us leave the earth, with dignity and perhaps a little pomp, but what if their cameras instead record an ungainly scramble after a tiny dead fish? What would Walter Cronkite say?"
I vonder vhere Guenter Wendt... :o)
Great catch!
Great book. I just finished it last week.
The image quality of these 65mm films is phenomenal.
I watched the movie at a theater with my wife, she was mostly bored but I was always sitting at the front edge of my seat as if watching a live launch. Brought back wonderful memories of the exciting anticipation felt during those Apollo missions of the late 1960's and early 1970's.
Dump her!
@@bugattieb110ss nah, she knew it didn’t happen.
My earliest verifiable memory is the moon landing. My family were huge NASA fans, and my father was one of the engineers who designed the heatshield on the Mercury capsules. It's amazing how they make the old films look like HD quality, but I am sure glad they can. This looks fantastic.
Well, film, by its very nature, is high definition already.
70mm footage is chemical and effectively has an optical resolution far beyond typical domestic TV resolutions, it is considered to be 12K or 12288 x 6480 or 80 megapixels.
@@a_voice_in_the_wilderness Those are some impressive numbers. Wow.
@@zeus6793 Yup, and 65mm 15 perf aka 65 IMAX has a digital equivalent of about 18k making it the highest resolution celluiod format that exists. The most recent film to use both 65 5 perf (70mm) and 65 IMAX (70 IMAX) is Christopher Nolan's "TENET," and boy are the images absolutely BREATHTAKING. You can expect the same for his upcoming feature, "Oppenheimer," which for the first time in a film, feature B&W 65MM IMAX imagery. Nolan continues to show that celluoid, even after existing for over a century, is still the superior film format when shooting motion pictures.
@@TweetBomb Very interesting stuff!
Best documentary of the year, maybe tied with They Shall Not Grow Old. An absolute joy to watch
Free Solo was not bad either.
When I first watched this film the opening scene at around 1:02 looked so unbelievable I thought I had accidentally picked some kind monden sci-fi film. Then I realized that it was the real footage from 1969! Don't think I blinked through the whole film
The color and quality is absolutely mind blowing!
It was so clear in IMAX. I watched it twice at about $20 a pop
This movie is insane, the quality is outstanding, I didn't even know all this footage existed. I felt transported to 1969...makes me think what our species could accomplish if we all worked together instead of all the crap we see today.
It´s real footage ? or filmed today ?
@@javix2013 Real.
If you are interested in space, this is the BEST movie you can watch. So exciting - perfectly !
Glad I watched it at IMAX.
You feel the tension. I feel the tension. There doing this for Apollo 1 and the other cosmonauts who died trying to explore space. You know they succeed but watching the video you get the feeling “I hope they make it” even though you know they will.
My grandparents took me to Cape Canaveral to tour the Kennedy Space Center when I was around 12 years old. I was fascinated then, but now that I’m older - I cherish that memory more than I could have ever predicted.
Nice
Coolest people on Earth and Moon!
8 members, my whole family, watched Neal step off onto the moon. We watched while inside a 24' Winnebago, on a small black and white tv. It was real grainy, but we saw it live. I was 15.
Thats awesome. I was 10 months old.
I was 9. Just old enough to remember sitting on the living room couch watching!
I remember with fond memories watching this with my Dad and Mom and Siblings and Family Friends 50 years ago.....My Dad was an Active USAF Pilot at the time and had gone through Flight School with Gus Grissom and remained friends with him through his own career until Mr. Grissom's tragic death in January of 1967. I also remember one of my older brother's leaning into me and whispering that I would ALWAYS treasure this moment MORE as I got older.....He Was Right As Rain. Cheers Everyone and Keep Looking Up
I will. Thanks.
Almost at a loss for words.... This looks brilliant!
The film itself is even better.
This is not even an acted movie. This is all real. So intense
Bilal Khalid you are fake comrade
Bilal Khalid how do you people even manage to dress yourselves in the morning? Tell me, are you even potty trained yet?
RIP Michael Collins :(
I get chills watching this 10 minute video...I was 4 years old...and that excitement has NEVER left me!...To watch this...and to see such high-tech..back in the day...IBM played a HUGE part...There are so many things we can attribute to the space program...Lasers,satellite TV/communications...wifi,cell phones...Thank you Armstrong,Aldren,and Cooper...We beat those damn Russians to the surface of the moon!...THATS WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT!!
Ya gotta spell Aldrin right and change Cooper to Collins!
@@h2ofield Yeah, but that Neil Armitage... first man on the moon! Whoo-hoo!! :o)
behold.... the absolute embodiment of COOL...
Godspeed Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins
I’m so used to the portrayal of the Saturn V launch prep from the perspective of Apollo 13 and first man that it’s weird to realize this is real footage
I've read all the biographies (books) on these men and Apollo. They all had the right stuff obviously, but Collins was the coolest of the three. He was the perfect space man of the era.
I always liked Collins too, he was easily the most articulate communicator of the astronauts. I always thought John Young, CMD Apollo 16 was the coolest astronaut since he is the only person to command a Gemini capsule, an Apollo command module, an Apollo lunar module, and a space shuttle orbiter…. He also drove the Lunar rover on the surface of the moon… to do any one of those things is impressive, to do more then one is legendary, and to do all of them makes you the GOAT 🐐
Collins' book CARRYING THE FIRE is absolutely magnificent. The man was a poet.
Best space movie ever made. No other film correctly captures the mood of the time. Simply brilliant.
I can't imagine what is going through Armstrong's mind as he suits up at the Cape. He will soon face his fate as no man ever has; destined to either die in a precious little amount of time, or to live with the certainty of his own relative immortality as a man apart from the rest of men. If the human race lasts a million years to come, he will forever be remembered as The First. And as such, by definition, none can ever replace him.
The best Apollo documentary ever made! And oh my God those pictures are just out of this world hah..
I saw the whole film a few days ago. It's spectacular.
Just thinking about all of these incredibly valuable people who assisted in suiting these guys up... wondering where they are now?
Still in the film industry.
Sadly, a lot of them are dead. A lot of these guys were in their 30s and 40s, so now 80s and 90s.
@@kdmigloo Yeah, no.
I did get to meet Der Fuhrer of Der Launchpad, Guenter Wendt. It was a long time ago at a NASA book signing I think, but he had written a book about his career as a pad leader. Great guy, great wit.
Unkown heroes
It's crazy to see the grey in Armstrong's and Aldrin's hair...they were only 38 and 39 respectively...but under such a stressful mission and regimen of preparation...it took its toll. Sink or swim, get wise or die, they triumphed when most would've folded. Bravo sirs...and Mick Collins, legend.
I started turning grey at 24 and a uni friend had severe male pattern baldness when I met him at 21. Imagine being a teenager and going bald?
Those were men without fear... A huge adventure!
Whatching this again on May 30th. Hours after Space X’s Dragon mission. Still unbelievable they achieved the moon 50 years ago with that technology. Still unbelievable they achieved such a high quality video production 50 years ago 👏👏
I've always been captivated by the shots of Armstrong while he's being suited up in the ready room prior to launch. His look of confidence and determination.he knows he has the ability to accomplish this mission. And the same time he's seems very humble and reflective in thought.
The best Apollo film ever made. Period.
impressive accomplishments
R.I.P. Mike Collins
Beautifully done. I remember as a little kid watching in black and white with my parents the live landing on the moon in 1969. Wow that was a long time ago and a HUGE thing back then. See how far we have come. Let's go to Mars, people.
Greatest ever human achievement, how was this even possible in 1969, just incredible!
AMAZING no other words
To think that the men who built the F1 engines are no longer around thus preventing them from being built in modernity is amazing to me. They hand fitted many of the parts on a scale that has yet to be rivaled in many aspects of modern designing/engineering/building. Truly a major feat of design and execution of planning if you as me.
You would never want to hand fit parts on that scale again. Modern rocket engines are much better constructed and designed today.
The idea that we couldn't build these things again is nonsense, sorry. We figured out how to do it 50 years ago, so we could figure it out again today, if we needed to. OK the actual solution we would come to might be different in the details, but that really doesn't seem important.
@@beeble2003 ... you know nasa continued going into space after the Apollo missions, right?
@@ahuman9864 Er... yes...? What did I say that made you think I didn't? The OP claimed that it would be impossible to build F1 rocket engines today. I said that's BS because we figured it out 50 years ago, so we could figure it out again.
@@beeble2003 I dont know , we dont how the pyramids were built and they are 4,000 years old
Very dramatic footage and sound. Puts me right back in the moment.
Neil Armstrong = SHEER CLASS + COOL AS A CUCUMBER !!!
I'm so jealous of my parents for having lived in those days!
Don't forget that they also had to live through the very real threat of nuclear annihilation, the Vietnam War, and other fun things like that.
A staggering amount of intestinal fortitude to not only just get into that rocket, but follow through with the mission to its conclusion. Amazing.
balls of freaking STEEL...couldn't imagine the fear pumping threw their veins...but yet they still did it...amazing
How the footage held up this well is beyond me. It looks like it was just shot this year
Same as Star Wars. Original Star Wars is only a decade younger, still it is available on 4K BluRay. "How the footage held up this well is beyond me"
65 mm film stored in National Archives vault. Its resolution is equivalent to 18k, all they had to do is scan it which they did in max 16k they developed a purpose built scanner just for that, fixed some smudges and rest of the footage in the documentary is lower quality but digitally enhanced.
@@FrankyPi it's not 18k dumbass. This is 70mm 5 perf. At most it may have 8k resolution but that's still pushing it a little. There's some footage here that's 70mm 10 perf. So close to 12k resolution but you don't see the full frame because they cropped it. IMAX footage is 70mm 15 perf. So still a little higher than 12k but not quite 16k. The ones who say 18k don't know what theyre talking about.
@@reviewgodusa9613 Why did the documentary makers custom scan the rolls in 16k then? Also, name calling is not necessary.
@@FrankyPi probably for the 10 perf 70mm film. You either scan in 8k or 16k. You cannot really scan in between. So they wanted to get everything they could out of the 10 perf footage.
masterful documentary of all original footage chronicling the entire mission from beginning to end.
One step for man and one giant leap for mankind reciting Neil Armstrong...✔
Meines Erachtens die beste Dokumentation über Apollo 11. Toll und ganz hervorragend gelungene Aufbereitung des alten Filmmaterials. Erstaunlicherweise bietet die Blu-ray die etwas bessere Bildqualität. Fast schon ein Pflichtkauf.
This is just stunning the first time I watched the film it took my breath away
Saying that this 'movie' gives me goosebumps is an understatement.
Oh my God America! So proud of you.
Absolute hero’s. These were the best, brightest and most courageous men. These guys and the wwII generation are who I looked up to as a kid. I still do...
These are the guys we should look up to. Genuine great men.
@@colinmontgomery5492 I do. I am a Humanist, so imagine where these champions rank in my pecking order....Right up there with Crews of Challenger and Discovery. While 3 billion people worship a god and a religion that gives nothing and is beyond tangibility, I remember this. And this is what I worship. And thusly, my beliefs have a purpose. An ACTUAL purpose. Apollo and Nasa gave me that. And I will never forget it. Shout out to Sagan and Rodenberry...
@The505Guys I told you I am a Humanist. The Dominion of Mankind means more to me than anything. It is man's towering potential and perserverence that has made the wonders of the present possible. God did nothing to achieve this. And while the Religious will continue to outnumber the scientific, we will again face hardship.
People can claim they have seen God and Miracles. Ive seen War and infrastructure rebuilding. Ive seen Voyager probes and their photos. Ive seen footprints on the moon. Ive seen horseless locomotion and the power of aviation. Ive been from Toronto to Paris in 8 hours. When I used to pray to God, I saw nothing.
@The505Guys I appreciate your altruism in a very good attempt at meeting me in the middle, and believe me, it is not unnoticed. But. Here is where I respectfully lose togetherness. I feel, and again, only MY FEELING, which I do not expect to have bearing on your feelings, that, when all of us, not simply the best of us, become one with the bombastic game changing potential of Humanity, we will win every single challenge. Every single engagement. My MO is not to deride God, its to remind all of Humanity that WE ARE GOD! We need not show fielty to any deity any longer, because YOUand me, and all those who see a future beyond worship will be ultimately blessed, in the wondrous and absolute discovery that Man makes possible by simply being. In my optics, god has no place. YOU DO AND I DO. Giving credence to fictional dogma serves only to usurp our own greatness. A greatness which you deserve to extoll.
@The505Guys You accomplished all of that. Believing otherwise takes from your own self-determination and fortitude. Its not fair to any Human being to be so self-destructive and so beyond his own glory, that he must surely give credit to another force, because surely he could not achieve this under his own power...
1969: The world witnesses one of the greatest achievements in human history.

the greatest human achievement will be when we all learn to live together!
Show me some proof. NASA has none.
Why is it that the anti-NASA folks, and the gun nuts and the Trumpers, can't spell and can barely write?
@@donaldscott3921 that's because you take hits off the flesh bong.
@@donaldscott3921 It all stems from the same cause: shockingly low intelligence.
Hands down the greatest moment in human history. We may very well set foot on other terrestial bodies in the near future, but this was the first and with technology ancient to what we have today. The audacity of a nation to take on such a task reminds us of what wondrous things we are capable of. The shere courage exemplified by these three highly trained men is the stuff of legends. The world will never again be as united as when it was during that time.
It's almost like you're there with everyone. Outstanding footage.
Saw this outstanding film in the theater. As a young adult at the time, it was an extraordinary event to experience and watch on live TV. This film brought me to tears. It is a masterpiece and a must see!
Imagine the loneliness of being in the Command Module in later Apollo missions. 3 days
Think for a moment of all that happened in the 1960s. It was a decade of superlatives, and the Apollo 11 mission was the crescendo.
A documentary that had almost no dialogue, no pieces to camera, no narrator. And yet this film made the Space Race era and the people of that time feel more close and alive and human than I’ve ever felt. This film took the time to not only show all the footage of the crawler, rocket, flight control, and astronauts; but also the spectators and normal people.
I’m only 23 years old. The 60s were a completely different time politically and technologically. On paper and when I look at photographs, that time feels so distant to me. But this stunningly crisp footage made those people feel real. They seem not at all so different from us today in their emotions and mannerisms. You could almost be fooled it was footage shot much later for a shuttle launch or other modern launch.
I'm blown away with how good they got this footage to look. They obviously did some digital remastering to make it look this good, but they've definitely done a great job. If I didn't know this film was 100% real footage, I would've thought some of those scenes were original and actually filmed with actors and such.
@Blob B Found that out a bit later after posting the comment. But yeah, still impressive.
@Blob B lots of this is 70mm, which has more detail in its film than a modern 4K camera
Absolutely unbelievable, this quality is mind blowing !
My dad worked on the Gemini and Apollo programs and knew many of the astronauts. He would bring home the camera footage shot by the astronauts with hand held and chest mounted units. Some of the films have never been shown to the general public, probably because to be honest they were a bit boring. Some that were shown were edited too, because they would have been difficult to delicately narrate such as the shit-en mitten floating out of the Gemini 4 capsule during the first American space walk. I also got to go with him to see and sit on the first moon buggy before it was sterilized and sent to NASA.
Cool story
As a seven year old at the time, I was enthralled. Today, I still get the excited and somewhat teary at Apollo.
Thomas Pickering Thomas, unfortunately it is you that, through you frequent posts, has demonstrated your complete lack of understanding of the Apollo programme. There is a mountain of material that will help you better understand, not least this very film you are commenting on. From what I’ve seen, your claims of wrongdoing are simply built on your personal misunderstanding and in many cases incredulity.
Thomas Pickering And yet despite your rhetoric not one single piece of substantiated evidence that proves the Apollo programme was a cover up. I’ve got to say, it’s one pretty impressive space agency to have managed to prevent any leaks for almost 60 years particularly when you consider the decision was made to make the Apollo programme accessible to the public, unlike the Soviets that chose to maintain secrecy around their programme. When you find actual evidence of a hoax please let us know.
@Thomas Pickering
"You are the type of person I am at war with for those who still believe the Apollo lie" - at war with? Really. Rather dramatic.
"I am beyond anything you can try to do to persuade me of the authenticity of either NASA or Apollo" - thank you for confirming that you are unable to consider the issue objectively.
"I know what your job is" - I would suggest you haven't the faintest idea as to what my job is.
"I have plenty of actual evidence of a hoax" - but yet fails to present any of it.
"but I will never share it with you." - surely if your goal is to "defund NASA" then you need to share your evidence. Perhaps you don't have any evidence to share.
"This is my last response to you." - not a problem. However, I will continue to challenge your unsubstantiated and poorly researched claims.
Martin C : Well argued. Well, I've just watched the DVD of Apollo 11 and can say that it's lost none of its impact and emotion. The sight and sound of a Saturn V take off always elicits tears of pride in me. And I'm not even American. Great job one and all.
Thomas Pickering : I don't remember you being invited in. Enjoy your cloistered life.
I was 8 years old that time, watching this in black and white and very blurry. So nice to see it again but now in a amazing quality!
Saw this in the theatre. Loved it. Need to see it again.
Looks like it was filmed yesterday.
Beautiful film. Watched it a few weeks back. Best film I have ever seen.
The best way for me to put this accomplishment into perspective is by going outside at night, holding my thumb up arm's length away, and overlapping the moon. It really shows how far away the moon is.
This is a really great documentary everyone should see.
These are all real footage and editing this in hd is just awsome...thank you very much...salute from Turkey...Americans should be proud this was one of the greatest mission to accomplish in history of human civilization....wow speechless
Saw this on an OMNIMAX theater. The sound and quality was incredible. I was being vibrated by the sound! OMNIMAX makes it intense.
I was also 12 years old and was on sand park island Max A Brewer bride Titusville for the launch!
Anybody else in the same area for launch. I was dam lucky to see this launch. Can't get enough of it!
These astronauts are God inspired extra ordinary beings. Handsome, educated and talented. They are immortals...America is great. Great country. Modern Rome. God bless USA.
This documentary is fantastic! Let us not forget what it took to accomplish this amazing mission, I look forward to the nexts strides in human space flight and exploration.
This must only ever be watched in DD 5.1. The Saturn V launch was amazing. My whole house shook 😊
Thanks, I love this stuff.
Wonderfully shot and masterly edited this is the BEST film on the Apollo 11 mission I have ever seen! A fitting way to preserve one of the most historic moments of human history for generations to come. A must watch and own. I already own the film and just watching the first 10 minutes again here is awe-inspiring. If you like this I highly recommend 2 amazing space sets from Lego, the Lego NASA Apollo V set and the recently released Lego NASA Apollo Lunar Lander set. Building these sets with my little girl after watching this phenomenal film is a perfect way to bring the reality of this historic moment to life for my daughter so she can appreciate the accomplishments we have made as a country and species especially during this time were so many are ignorant of what is factual and what is not.
Outstanding!
When they show their photos... it just reminds me that these were people. We dared. We dared send three of our own to a place with a 400F degree temperature swing. We dared to go to a place that could undo billions of years of evolution with one mistake, one air leak, one malfunction.
Man's greatest adventure.
Agreed
People need such events Just to assure them, that they can achive almost everything. I Just hope we will return to The Moon in this century.
Really great movie, no actors..Just the real deal!
I like very much the speech of Michael Collins. 4:36
He was a very interesting guy and quite a story teller with a good sense of humor. Of all the Apollo astronauts, I would have loved to have met him, one of about 4 or 5 out of them all.
Bummed I missed the chance to see this in IMAX. Hope it comes 'round again!
It is surreal to watch Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins getting suited up in the same room I watched the SpaceX Crew 1 crew suiting up in last Sunday. Same wall panels, even the monitoring equipment along the walls is still the same.
raw footage. raw emotions. intense is an understatement.
