- The Apollo Experience - Part 2: Apollo 17 - The Last Men on the Moon | History Documentary
Watch 'The Apollo Experience - Part 1' here: • Apollo 17 - The Last M...
Between 1968 and 1972, NASA successfully sent 24 men where no human beings had been before or since. The final mission, Apollo 17, flew in December 1972 and closed the final chapter in NASA’s triumphant Apollo Program. Using spectacular NASA high-definition archive footage, mission audio and rare astronaut interviews, this is a unique documentary film that comprehensively chronicles one of the greatest moments in mankind’s history.
Uninterrupted by narration or expert interviews, this documentary immerses the audience inside the action as it happened on the day, over 40 years ago. Journey with astronauts Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt and Ronald Evans through their extensive training and across their 14-day mission to the Moon and back, and share the discoveries with Cernan and Schmitt as they explore the lunar surface for 3 days, while Evans performs experiments and reconnaissance in lunar orbit. The Apollo 17 Experience is an emotive, informative and inspirational tribute to the spirit of human exploration and mankind’s final steps on the Moon.

Very inspiring…..maybe time to show these documentaries to our kids to create inspiration. I came to watch doubting we ever went to the moon. After watching this documentary I feel that people have lost the inspiration they once had.
How comes stars are not seen fro
m the moon ?
@@malaremurilo8046how come the stars are not seen from earth during daytime ?
@@jacqueswaahl5036 its because of the sun rays, but on the video you can see they landed on the part of the moon where these is no direct sunrays coming to them , so why stars are not seen shining from the space ?
@@malaremurilo8046??
This was fantastic I Was a few days b4 my 18th birthday when this happened and probably a world away in Australia and not interested in the moon landings.I was 71 just 2 days ago and watched and appreciated this so much
Beautiful and daunting at the same time. It chokes me up watching.
We are going to make it, and not break it, this opportunity.
Hopefully I can help, I love this planet and everyone on it (Well, almost all 😂) and that will never change.
We really are one big family ❤
It's night 3:21 am night at my place....i got notification of this video 2 hrs ago...and I have been watching this since then..I am on my terrace watching moon...I m having goosebumps... I am emotional at the same time...this documentary is a gem.!!!
This really is a gem. I hope I will see another moon launch in my lifetime. 24yo right now.
The mars rover missions are the most beautifull missions in my lifetime.
Wow ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
What did you see? What we’re watching Now ? NO !
@@deangeneral7640 seems like you are very keen to get my reply..well I'm still saying...it's the best documentary i have ever seen till now.
Bless these men. They are truly heros 🎉😊
Hollywood's special effects are so good, 50 years ago they made such a good movie
What a blessing that they came back alive, our guys. They created the history of all mankind on Earth.

hahahaha
And the poetry! It made me nauseous... those clunky cameras attached to the spacesuit, brilliant! 🤠
This is an amazing documentary. Absolutely stunning.
ive been waiting for part 2, really good program
I'm an Australian and I was only 14 years old when Challenger landed on the Moon at the Taurus Litrow landing site in late November 1972. At the same time, it saddened me when Apollo 17 astronauts lifted off the Moon at Taurus, Littlrow landing site aboard the second stage of the Challenger spacecraft for the very last an Apollo spacecraft would venture to the Moon in the Apollo program.
This cured my depression.
Genuinely; who could watch this and not be moved to tears of joy? LOOK WHAT WE'RE CAPABLE OF!
I think of the upcoming Artemis missions and can't help but feel that I'm missing out on an opportunity to play a role in the next step of the arguably most exciting project in human history...
Then again... maybe it's not too late.
@danielleblanc8302 Maybe Orion mission - back to the Moon - had to be canceled, because you could not help. And those not very well organized guys in NASA say, they lost Apollo technology. Without your help, and decade by decade worse technology I can't see how it's not to late.

Those astronauts had awesome evenings.......every night was full moon.....
The moon missions are more than technological work. They are amazing feats of humans being on another world, & doing research into early history of our solar system. The deniers in my opinion, need to be taught what they denied on this actually happened. I am in awe of the moon landings. I wish I was there with them, but I was too young.
Oh yeah. The tech is only one piece of the puzzle. A necessary piece, but not sufficient to get to the moon. The social and psychological aspects are also necessary.

At that time Hollywood could not achieve that realism
Why not, if they could fly to the Moon with 2500 tons rocket, instead of required 800 000 tons, and equipped with onboard computer of few dozens kilobytes? And carrying lightweight cameras better than Hollywood ones - look how their cameras were able to track and zoom them, while both are busy, e.g. 4", or 24"? That was amazing technology, not like modern 21st century junk, letting barely phone zombies to drop me off my bicycle, as they don't even know, they already left their walkway!
Why in the 1970s, with simpler technology, humans could and dared to land several times on the moon? Meanwhile, with more advanced technology, we were not as brave as before.
Huh? What makes you think it has anything to do with technology?
Ono GIA: Brave has nothing to do with it unless you mean the lack of it with politicians. This is a short history of why the Lunar Missions stopped in 1972. Also why it is taking so long to get back.
Congress started cutting NASA's budget even before NASA got to the moon. 1966 was NASA's biggest budget year. They got approximately 4.6% of the U.S. G.D.P.. This is while they were still building the infrastructure for Apollo and they hoped an infrastructure to get them beyond the moon to Mars by 1981-2.
After 1966 NASA's budget went on a steady decline. Originally the first phase of Lunar Exploration was to go to Apollo 20. NASA had built in the infrastructure for a continuous supply of CSMs LMs and SaturnVs. Plans were in the works for upgraded CSM, LMs and SaturnVs. NASA even built prototype pressurized LRVs for use on planned Lunar Colonies. There were plans for more then 1 Skylab as a stepping stone for larger Space Stations. Original plans for the Space Shuttle were for a much more elaborate system to ferry astronauts and equipment to and from the ever expanding Space Stations. They were even looking at plans for making the Saturn V's first and second stages recoverable and reusable. Originally Launch Complex 39 was to have 6 launch pads. Then it got cut to 3, then only 2 were built. They built 3 mobile launch towers, but only 2 were ever used.
All the working plans and proposals are still there to be seen. With NASA’s budget being cut after 1966, bit by bit NASA’s ambitious plans started to dwindle. After Apollo 11 it was planned to have 4 Apollo launches a year till Apollo 20. This soon got cut to 2 per year and at the same time Apollo 20 was cancelled. In late 1970 future contracts to build more Apollo CSMs, LMs and Saturn Vs were cancelled. The remaining 5 CSM: 3 would be used for Skylab of which there would only be 1 Skylab now. One CSM was planned for the then hopeful Apollo Soyuz mission and the last CSM(now in a museum) was modified to hold 5 people as a potential rescue mission for Skylab crews. One of the remaining three SaturnVs would be used to launch Skylab, the last two are now museum pieces.
NASA’s budget continued to get cut and along with it Space Shuttle kept being scaled back from what NASA wanted. In 1975 NASA started to redo Pad 39A for the coming Space Shuttle. But NASA kept begging to get Apollo going again and maintained Pad 39B for Apollo and tried to maintain as much of the Apollo infrastructure and talent as they could. But by 1977 it was clear Apollo was dead. So NASA let the Apollo infrastructure and talent atrophy away.
Through the terms of Regan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama, NASA was pushed and pulled in many directions with start and stop goals given and taken away. All of them with plans to return to the moon. Bush 2 laid out the most promising plan for a return to the moon in 2004 with the Constellation Program. It called for a return to the moon before 2014. In 2010 Obama cancelled Constellation after a lot of money and effort had been spent. All with budgets nothing like the had in 1966. The current Artemis plans which rose out of the ashes of Constellation are 12 years old and moving at a snails pace on a shoestring budget. Another reason it is taking so long.
Go look up NASA’s plans and dreams. Would have been amazing had they been allowed to carry on. NASA was thinking exploration, human expansion and potential research science and resources to gain. The government thought, beat the USSR and not much more.

Nice video
Something I've always wondered about and would love to see a video of is the procedures to deal with all the equipment, dust and samples once they enter the lunar module after a long EVA.
They take a shower after exiting the studio
It was a huge problem for the astronauts, one of them had a small heart attack and never fully recovered. Combating lunar dust will have the highest priority in future lunar missions.
@@spamm0145 , ,, ,
Unfortunately no footage of them exists exiting or entering the module.
I have yet to see footage of the lander leaving the surface and back up to the orbiter. The lander may still be sitting there for all I know. I can imagine they orbited and began wondering if they could get off the surface since they'd never practiced it . And decided to put down the lander and leave it. There's so many gaps in the narrative it makes you wonder.

I can see why someone could question that. As the LM is approaching the CSM the RCS are constantly firing around the LM lining up to dock. Every firing send vibrations through the LM causing items not totally locked down to move.

So now we have another lander on the moon - apparently lying on its side, but it's there and is transmitting. It'll be interesting to see how we progress to the next stage.
There is a program called Artemis. Artemis I has already flown. It was unmanned, orbited the moon and came back. Artemis II will fly a similar mission but with astronauts on board. Artemis III plans to land men on the moon for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972.
@@willoughbykrenzteinburg
I wouldn't bet on Artemis III landing. NASA is already backtracking and saying that Artemis III might be another orbital mission. It's pretty doubtful that either of the landers will be ready on time.
@@rockethead7Hadn't heard that. Bummer.
@@willoughbykrenzteinburg spacex moment
They've already contracted Blue to be a "2nd lander" to the SpaceX version. As far as I'm concerned, it's only a matter of time before they cancel SpaceX altogether. I was shocked from Day-1 that they even chose SpaceX and that hideous monstrosity. But, when the person on the NASA board who was leading them to select SpaceX got a high paying job at SpaceX, yeah, it made more sense about why that happened. As soon as Blue shows that they're ready to fly, my guess is that NASA will dump SpaceX. SpaceX is a joke of a rocket company, powered more by hype than rocket fuel.
Oh God. I want go there.

Yes, Moon landing deniers are quite funny.
17:07 I don’t know how long this chamber on the astronaut’s chest is, but if the length of this chamber is 0.25 meters, then the astronaut’s height should be 1.25 meters. Even if it is 0.3 meters, then his height is 1.5 meters. This is also very little. The chamber would need to be about 0.4 meters long for an astronaut to be 1.8 meters tall.

Is the camera that they used to watch the astronauts from the NASA center still there?I mean it's still installed on the moon and does it work?
No. It burned out 27 hours after Apollo 17 lifted off. It was never designed to survive the heat of a lunar high noon. (In the case of Apollo 17, the camera even burned out prior to high noon. The Apollo 16 camera made it to high noon, though, then burned out.) It also ran on batteries that are long dead by now.

@@scottstevens2752We know you wanted. Put your pants on, and get ready then.
Wow America
What was the maximum distance between the Lunar Module and the Rover?
Well, they covered about 20 miles total across the 3 EVAs. But, to answer your question more directly, the greatest distance from the lunar module on Apollo 17 was around 4-5 miles. You can get a better understanding by looking at the Apollo 17 rover traverse map.
@@rockethead7 OK, thank you 🙂.
@@rockethead7 4-5 miles is still pretty far, though. Quite scary. Luckily you cannot really get lost because the tracks you made are still there. But what if the space suit conks out? You must always trust the equipment.
Sure, but, ya know, these guys were going to the moon, not taking a commercial airliner flight. There were risks all over the place. Most of them were test pilots (and that's not exactly a "safe" career). Prior to being an astronaut, Cernan's last job was to train for WWIII, to fly along the tree line with nuclear bombs strapped to the bottom of his plane, get to the city he was supposed to bomb, pull up into a vertical climb, release the bomb (flinging it upward), then to pull out of that at top speed and get away before the bomb blows him to smithereens. Armstrong had 78 combat missions, including one where he was shot down behind enemy lines. Aldrin had 2 combat kills under his belt. The list goes on. These guys weren't exactly afraid to take risks.
The rover traverses were planned to hit the furthest point in the traverse toward the beginning of the EVA. They may have one or two stops before getting to the furthest point. But, basically, the idea was that they would first go far, then snake their way back, thus allowing the most oxygen remaining in their backpacks for the furthest distances, and would go closer and closer to the lunar module as they used their oxygen supply.
What happens if there are suit problems? Well, each PLSS backpack had an OPS system on top (which included a small spare supply of oxygen, good for around 1/2 hour). They could also share air between the two astronauts if they needed. Those hoses you see on the suits could be plugged and unplugged, and if one guy's PLSS failed completely, they could share with the other one's PLSS to get back safely. The suits themselves had 13 layers of ripstop fabrics in the outer garment, plus another half dozen layers under that, including a self-sealing layer (a lot like WWII fighter planes had self-sealing fuel tanks in the wings if they get hit by bullets). And, if somehow all of that failed, they were trained on how to patch small holes. A large hole that instantly depressurizes the entire suit would render the astronaut unconscious in about 2 minutes, and dead a few more minutes after that. But, that's a lot of time (relatively) for the other astronaut to try to patch something together to pressurize his partner's suit again. And, yeah, of course, beyond that, sure, it would be fatal if none of those things worked. But, I think the engineers designed things to be more resilient than you might know (?).
@@rockethead7 You are correct. Being a test pilot is very risky.
As you correctly state, all the equipment for the space missions is top-level, as well as the training of the astronauts. It is still not 100% foolproof but it is very close.
The astronauts also needed a very high level of mental and emotional toughness as well. They must possess so many qualities and abilities on so many levels. They are the elite of humanity in many respects.

There is the Artemis program. The Artemis 1 flight was launched at the end of 2022, and the spacecraft orbited the moon and returned. This was the first mission of the ongoing Artemis program. The goal of the Artemis 3 mission is to land on the moon.
Big difference between crewed and uncrewed missions. Do a little real research and find out why.
USA has always been the leader in cinematography
i enjoyed the part 1 and the last piece of the documentary, hard to believe this was 50 years ago!! Shame they never continued with it until the end of the 70s, They could have pushed for mars in the 80s with a manned landing in the 90s or the 00s at latest. But for mars, i think all space programs on the planet need to unite for that one. Thanks fellas for the ride!
They never went to the moon in the first place.
Whoever said that the moon has dust like the earth. Watch as they jump how the soil scatters. They are now in the ground. They film. Lie they're in on the moon.
من قال ان القمر به تراب مثل الارض. شاهد وهم يقفزون كيف تنتشر التربة. هم الآن في الأرض. هم يصورون. أكذب أنهم على القمر .
"Hard to believe" - because it never happened, ever...& never will...
The world is an amazing place, why "explore" out of this world myths, when we have so much unknown on earth??
I'll wait...
I grew up during Apollo and I don't remember ever seeing any videos like these. Was I too busy playing with my matchboxes or was there some reason they were being withheld from the public? And if they were withheld why release them now?
Sadly, the later Apollo missions just weren't 'important' enough for the TV networks. With no Internet then you had no other way. I watched everything I could of Apollo as a kid, but much was never shown at the time.
No human has ever set foot on the lunar surface...ever.
@@daryllect6659 Yes when our only source of information has been corrupted you pretty much cant believe what is real and what is fiction.. They have destroid morals and in its wake an honest society. Now many people dont hesitate to rewrite history even when they werent there and have no idea what they are saying.

@@daryllect6659 And what is your proof to validate your statement?
I have a bridge for sale.
Good for you.
Use it to bridge the gap between your ears?
@@erac5855 over fifty years ago they went nine times to the moon in a span of four years, six of those times landing and returning safely. Twelve men walked on the surface, they took three cars, emitted live television, played golf, and talked on the phone with Nixon. Never mind the wires, the lights, the repeating backgrounds, the missing stars, the missing telemetry data, the petrified wood passed as moon rocks... it's a distance of 384,400 km (no one has gone past 400 km since).
Buddy I'll throw the Statue of Liberty in with that bridge so you can get a light in that dark hole you call head.
@@DemonDrummerNo he doesn’t. Doesn’t even own a car😂😂
это было не просто смело, это было п..здец как смело
Hello ❤❤❤❤❤
How did the real time transmissions on the moon and earth and between astronauts happen via radio waves and primative battery packs in a vacuum?
Tmobile has multiple cell towers on the moon
🤫
Huh? Primative batteries? Is that like batteries for primates? Or, did you mean "primitive," but you're functionally illiterate? What's primitive about them? And, why do you think radio would have an issue with a vacuum? What ARE you talking about?
@@rockethead7 ok bad spelling . It was an honest question can you answer?
Spare me. You know nothing about radio, batteries, or the English language. You aren't asking honest questions.
There is a distinct line between the foreground and the blurry bsckground in every frame,
Yes, it's called a "horizon." Amazing, huh?
@@rockethead7 Amazing is that blurry background is before horizon.
@@jazemkrzysio
Depends. Are you talking about TV video? Film video? Distance to objects in the background? Apparent horizon or real horizon? What was the camera focused on? Result vary depending on details.

So much talking on moon ,at press conference they were silent
What press conference would that be?
