Met Fred Haise at my job yesterday. Very gracious and friendly man. True American hero
What job?
Reet Proper Berk worked at a Best Buy store not far from NASA
@@Samurai85ace Don't they pay enough? Why is a hero doing his _own_ shopping and at _Best Buy?_ 🤔
@LotusLambo 🤣
Looks fazed to me F.Haise ... geddit? No--one? 😪
This is an amazing press conference. I've never seen anything like it. The level of professionalism on display is amazing.
Thank you for uploading this. Jim, Jack and Fred are huge heroes of mine, and to hear this makes it all feel amazingly current! Such amazing footage!
God, please continue to bless Jim Lovell and Fred Haise!
Awesome. Such professionalism. Aviators, engineers, spacemen. Who wouldn't want to have worked with capable and resourceful people like these?
Jack is one genuine "steely eyed missile man"
RIP Jack!!
Outstanding press conference gentleman! I do not remember this flight from 1970. I am completely up to date on it 44 years later. I commend each of you for your bravery and thank the Great Lord that you are alive. To Jack: Thank you for admitting that your prayers and the prayers of others definitely helped you to get home. Obviously God was with the three of you on that almost fateful trip. You will (all three of you) along with the many key players at Mission Control, be heroes in my eyes. God Bless!
Debbie Lyons others are just as capable with rehersal....
These men are what The Right Stuff is all about. Calm, Cool, and Collected when facing severe challenges. They will always be my heroes. To the NASA team back on earth who worked nonstop to get these men safely back to earth, I salute you.

Ha ha. You believe this fake nonsense.
@@matsumoku1
@@matsumoku1 I don't. This press conference? Cgi and it was made like 3 years ago. Isnt it obvious?
What I learned from this is that it takes a lot to crack a smile out of Fred
I think the missed opportunity to walk on the Moon is the biggest disappointment in his life and it was weighing on him at this press conference.
I had an opportunity to meet him at Utah University in May 2010. What a wonderful experience that was to hear him speak. :)
Jim Lovell would have made a great first man on the Moon. Nothing at all against Neil Armstrong whom I admire greatly it's just that Jim Lovell does have great charisma.
He was Neil's backup so if Neil couldn't go for some reason, Jim would have been the first man on the moon.
@Sara Shepard Technically, your sentence was not formed properly. It should read: "You can't even form proper sentences, dick head."
Agreed
A great example of what man can do when facing terrible odds , good on Nasa and these three boys.
I think that they had their wives with them was incredibly sweet. Probably for moral support. Jim is still married to Marilyn. 🤗
All the astronauts from Apollo 8 (including Jim Lovell) stayed married to their original wives (a rarity in the space program.)
Now go and watch the Apollo 11 post flight press conference,the difference is so creepy and startling…
The word laconic was made for these men. Cool, precise and never a superfluous word. They don't feel the need to interrupt, exaggerate or complain. There is mutual respect. Astonishing (and sad) to think that there are people in the world who would cast doubt on their achievements . . .
About 32 years ago…I was a student at Purdue University studying Aeronautical Engineering. Jim Lovell came to campus to give a speech, essentially about the Apollo 13 mission. Maybe 13 years after the event. It was positively captivating - engrossing.
Afterwards in the lobby Mr. Lovell stood around answering questions from various audience members. I stood about 5 feet away from him listening to him answer a question. I tried to screw together the courage to say hello to him and shake his hand…he actually looked me in the eye at that point, but I just couldn’t do it.
Honestly….that is one of the biggest regrets of my life to date. I’m pretty sure I will not get that opportunity again……
Don't dwell on not talking to him. Focus on the fact that you heard him speak in person & made eye contact ♥️
Jim is definitely the most eloquent, you can see that even now. It's funny how they rib Jack for being an unrepentant bachelor.
Watching this after watching the movie for the zillionth time. Really struck by how articulate Jim Lovell is.
@@ariag.8745 Yup, and he STILL is. Watch any of Lovell's speeches/interviews from the 2010s. He's *still* articulate, intelligent, and witty AF.
The way Lovell passes the dumb questions to His crew is hilarious. "Will this effect plans to go to Venus? ". Lovell says, "Fred?" Later he is asked, "Will you run for Senate in Wisconsin??" Lovell goes, "Jack, you want to take that one?" All three of them are so easy, and seem to genuinely like each other. But Lovell's humor comes out in almost all his interviews. He and Borman, together, could have had careers as a comedy duo.
Very true. But Collins is also genuinely hilarious. 😀
I just listened to the full mission from start to finish (for the 50th anniversary) and I'm in awe of what these guys, and those on the ground, accomplished. The Ron Howard movie sums it up wonderfully, but the details of the mission are well worth reviewing. The engineering skill displayed boggles the mind.
Thank you so much for uploading this, I'm very grateful.
I know Tom Hanks played James Lovell, but he looks more like Kevin Costner.
thats exactly what i wanted to post right now... ;))
In fact Jim Lovell said himself in the documentary on the Apollo 13 Blu-ray that he always thought Kevin Costner should be the person to play him due to their likeness, however he was happy with Tom Hanks choice as Hanks was a space geek as a kid and knew all about the Gemini and Apollo programs.
No need for Tom Hanks to play Kevin Costner. Rim shot.
I've always thought Jimmy Stewart was a dead ringer for Lovell, however Stewart was much too old for the role
These guys are all actors anyway..they haven't been anywhere...
Lovell’s look and demeanor is like a classic central casting actor who would play a commander in a 50s sci-fi movie.
Three great men. Talk about balls of steel.
I don't think they did, it was mostly about the supposed journey to the moon, which of course, never happened.
I was just thinking the same, these astronauts were so brave.
@@MrDaiseymay Just because you're an ignorant dumbfuck that doesn't understand science doesn't mean going to the moon never happened. But thank you for trying.
@@MrDaiseymay When are you pathetic, nutjob conspiracy theorists going to get it through your thick skulls that no one takes you seriously?
ct92404
And when are people like you gonna realise there's very few people that take the moon landings seriously nowadays.
Thank you Mr.Lovell and and Haise and Swigert...y'all didn't land on the moon but you are all what America is supposed to be about.. toughness...perseverance... character.
And it was all possible because America was jealous of Russia's space program.
A triple dose of character. Best of the best.
@@PipenFalzy Lol. What space program?
@@Bob31415 who do you think the race to the moon was with?
@@PipenFalzyAmerica was landing on the Moon and jealous of the Soviets??? Are you dumb?
Fascinating interview, thanks for uploading.
Definitely a superb job to this Apollo Team!
You only have to look at these guys faces telling what happened during the mission to know they were there and it was real. Very interesting with their perspectives, thoughts and workflows, of course staying professional throughout. You guys in the US should be really proud of these guys and indeed all in the Space programs.
The one with dark hair doesn't say very much. Did an alien cat get his tongue?🤔
John Kean
It's like he doesn't want any part of it at all, at least the other two are _trying_ to be convincing.
They remembered their lines quite well
@@terminallyinquisitive1731 They Will all be remembered for What they accomplished. You Will only be remembered for being a simple liar.
@@YDDES
These guys weren't involved in the 're entry' part of the mission (effectively a cargo drop from a plane).
It was considered way too risky and so another team were deployed.
What a great commander. To my knowledge this is the most successfull mission.
Kolukuluri Raghu I agree
Well no. No it isn't.
@@seriouslyfunny11 It had the most accomplishments considering what they were up against.
What a gutsy crew they were!
Jim Lovell has always stood out as someone rather special. He's a great communicator plus a very witty guy. Wish there were more like him!
fascinating!! such brilliant and well spoken men. incredible history
As a child, my dad took me to watch the launch of Apollo13. It was one of my very first memories and sparked my interest in space. I was 3.5 years old and didn't notice until today that the flight I watched was this one when I checked the dates of all the Apollo missions.
I've never seen this interview, thanks for posting it.
Man--Jiim Lovell sure sounds different then he does nowadays. I'm so used to his elderly voice (i've watched many videos with him). He just oozes with confidence and intelligence. What a great astronaut and human being. EDIT: Also Haise and Swigert are nothing like the actors who played them in Apollo 13. Very confident and awesome. EDIT: I fixed spelling on Fred Haise (had Haize lol.)
Yeah,these were the Real dudes..
They are _all_ actors.
Great men backed up by an incredible ground support staff. Their experience is captured in the book, "Thirteen" which is a must-read for any space enthusiast. Hard to believe it's been 50 years. And yes, Lovell had great charisma and is a likeable person.
Amazing they were able to return safely. Can’t imagine floating through space in a broken craft. Not just in orbit but a long ways away
Rest in peace jack swigert you was a amazing smart man I think Jim and Fred got very lucky to have you on the flight rest easy jack
Magnificent teamwork on the part of the crews, mission control, contracters et al
Excellent upload, thanks very much. What strikes me - not just here at the very end of the session but in many of those old videos - is that there are almost no fat and heavily overweight people there, and it is a big difference to today's society.
Embarrassingly true.
Brave crew. I was a kid when this happened. I remember being scared for them.
Three legends! I'm reading A Man on the Moon currently and I'm in awe
I have met Fred, he is a great person....very approachable....I work for Infinity Science Center....
He is nothing like the actor who played him in "Apollo 13."
@@MarvelousLXVII Bill Paxton is interred at Forest Lawn. Go easy.
@@islandpalm148 You go easy lol. I didn't say that in a bad way. I saying Bill Paxton played him as a country boy and Fred Haise is nothing like that. Kevin Bacon is nothing like Jack Swigert and Gary Sinise is nothing like Ken Mattingly for that matter.
@@MarvelousLXVII Okey doke.
Who would thumbs down this? Heroes these guys. Sad Jack died so young.
Conspiracy nuts mostly. Wearing their tin foil hats.
The movie "Marooned" (About Apollo astronauts trapped in space) came out in theaters in 1969, and i remember a class field trip to see the movie. When the Apollo 13 incident took place, the movie was one of the first things to cross my mind.
President Nixon invited the Apollo 12 crew to White House and they watched "Marooned" in the WH theater in December 1969.
Watching this, I was struck by how articulate and competent Jack Swigert was compared to how he was portrayed in the movie.
just guys who did a REAL job.
Swigart, and the reactions to him joining the crew, were very different in reality to the film. There was no concern that Swigart was a "rookie"; he literally helped to write the book on procedures and emergency contingency when flying the CSM. In fact the director's cut of the film has an audio commentary by Jim and Marilyn Lovell, in which they compare the film to reality and Jim comments several times at how delighted he and Haise were that Jack Swigart was next in line for CSM pilot.
bitista1
I do love the line in the movie when he is asked why he knows that they overshot the delta-v in their burn for reentry, and he deadpan responds with "I can add." That might have been a nod to the reality, or I'm just reading into it. It was a great line though. Also, he did seem to be quite the lady killer in real life.
Yeah. I'm sure in reality, all the astronauts were really top of the line; the only limiting factor being under 6 feet in height. The Ron Howard movie took a couple artistic liberties, but for the most part I think it was spot on. In reality, the astronauts were just too matter of fact and dead calm for a good drama film and it had to be embellished. :D
What you don't get from the movie or this interview was that Jack was an expert on the CM as he followed its construction from the beginning where as Ken wasn't. Something the movie missed as he powered it down with only 2 mins to spare. Fred was an expert on the LEM and was able to power it up in 15 mins what normally takes 2 hrs. Jim had the experience of Apollo 8 and experimented with manual flight and navigation using nothing but a sexton and watch.
All three of these people needed each other as it wouldn't have worked. Not to mention that mission required extra LEM o2 compared to the others onboard. They were going to make several lunar walks so the extra o2 was needed to cover the LEM recompression each time they returned.
The thing that got me was the faulty o2 tank assembly 106 was on Apollo 10 but removed due to upgraded tanks and later put on Apollo 13 with the faulty heater assembly as it wasn't upgraded to the higher voltage requirements that was now used on the launch pad. Had this happened on Apollo 10 without the LEM having the extra o2 onboard they die. As the LEM on Apollo 10 didn't have the needed fuel. They did it to save weight as the LEM wasn't going to land on the moon. That or to make sure they didn't try and land after being just 50k feet from the surface.
Balls of steel they have..
Surely honeyombed aluminium with a titanium shell? (Did any of them have children afterwards? Wondering if they were affected by radiation?)
The essence of RESILIENCE !
Tom Hanks is lovely, but I always thought Kevin Costner would have been a better casting choice for Jim Lovell in the film ... Costner looks like Lovell ...
+DaftSwank That's what Jim Lovell himself thought.
And Hanks won Lovell over by being the adorable space nerd he is.
gothatway09 that is true but you would think after even JFK Costner would've been an awesome choice. But Hanks did the role of Lovell well
Lovell is a gigantic liar.
I don't think any of the astronauts in the movie looked or acted like the real ones. Look up Ken Mattingly (very bald in real life lol)
I feel sad when I think of Jack Swigert he's gone 🥺
A magnificent achievement to get these men home.
That might be was the best conference for students thinking about astronomy
Great story. Very exciting.
Testament to old tech. Space shuttle would be toast after this. Everyone involved are true heroes
Never realized Swiegert was such a beast of a man.
Yo tenia doce años cuando sucedió lo del apolo 13, a pesar de que en aquellos años las noticias no son como ahora, si fue algo que impacto en Guatemala, estaba cursando quinto primaria y con mis mas cercanos amigos estuvimos pendientes del desenlace de la situación, al retornar los astronautas a salvo nos pusimos felices, ahora tengo en mi poder la película y la he visto con mis alumnos, a mis 61 primaveras, gracias por este vídeo.
At one point they were showing a photo to the conference, but it's missing in this video. What was it?
james lovell is my 3rd cousin
Im related to everybody on earth
I remember that I red somewhere that apollo 13 was not flew, because of "13" is a bad luck number and there was many mistakes and failures around whole project of apollo.
Randomnick123 Apollo 13 was flown, brilliantly in fact. But yes, there was discussion about the unlucky number 13. Lovell was not a superstitious man.
I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.
shall we dance ?
some people actually think this was all faked. what a compliment to those brave men. that's why your on CZcams. :)
+Vania Kastreva You have an active imagination there, meanwhile back in reality....
yes indeed , acting skills like I never seen before #oscar #MovieAwards
risk takers and heroes. Thats why these guys were selected for the SpaceProgram, the ability to go balls-in on a job and handle the problems should they occur. Anyone who thinks we didnt do all this is seriously stupid.
I never knew kevin Costner was Apollo 13 commander!
These guys and NASA did the US proud. No Homer Simpsons among that lot! As for the reporter who kept trying to intimate that they should go back (and even shockingly intimated that Jim's wife was forbidding him, sticking his nose into their personal relationship), even as a young Aussie teenager reading everything I could on the US Space program (from early '68 to late '69), even I knew that every back-up crew was just as good as any other, because they had to be, and the training made sure they were.
Why Jim Lovell was not played by Kevin Costner, I will never understand! He not only looked the part but would have been equally as great. Don't get me wrong. This is still one of my favourite movies, except for the liberties they took posthumously with Jack Swiegert.
Kevin Costner would’ve been a great choice as well. I think a big part of the movie getting made was that Tom Hanks is a “space nerd”.
They had to design the ship to handle these guys’ balls
NASA should take the negatives to this film and scan it into a hi-def digital scanner so that it will look like it was filmed yesterday for our posterity. Movie producers did it for the documentary "Apollo 11" and the documentary's clarity was so good you could see details never seen before.
The training in donning and doffing space suits must have been brilliant. These guys were able to don their suits without help and put on their gloves too. Budah of Birmingham
MrThorneycroft good point...id like to hear someones answer...
Sounds like you were being sarcastic. Note that when an astronaut needs assistance with gear there is help at hand. They don't just sit there and laugh at each other.
Changing clothes was normal on these 2 to 4 week trips to the Moon.
You people still seriously believe this? Now, in this day and age??? Have you no common sense?
you sure don't troll
i am a child of Apollo13 . . . this was our finest hour!
The idea of the crew re-flying the mission (either as "Apollo 13-A" or Apollo 14)--what an cool idea!
James Sn it’s too bad the shuttle was being funded at this point. Taking away the potential for more Apollo missions.
An upgraded Apollo would have been better
@@MikeGoesBadaBoom Fred Haise would join the Shuttle Program soon after this. He would eventually be part of the Altitude and Landing tests - even getting a chance to fly Enterprise.
Now compare this press conference to the first ever Apollo press conference...and draw your own conclusions.
Captain Lovell 😍
I retract my comment about "being prepared to die for glory".(but will leave it on here, to show I admit I was wrong).I think these poor men were coerced into this, as were all the others. I say this, because none of them, NOT ONE look happy.
they don't look happy like you don't look happy. Are you being coerced into writing this crap?
They are professionals who just failed at the biggest mission of their careers. Why do you think they should be jolly? Im sure they also arent happy to be grilled by inane reporters.
Nothing to say that hasn't been said but definitely deserved comment
Jim Lovell - he is very funny and friendly :D
these guys are in shock
Best nasa crew and mission ever.
I was 13 at the time I was at home I was sick and my dad was brewing beer and the hops was making me nauseous but Canadian tv was covering Apollo 13 and my dad and I hoped and prayed that they would come home safe I remember everything as clear as day when I heard they had frozen hot dogs had to try it love frozen hot dogs to this day I was 12 when Neil stepped on the moon I was 13 when Apollo 13 happened I listened to those brave men Jim Lovell Fred haise jack swaggart make it back it was just as important than the moon landing and I was wondering how can some people think it never happened there loss thank you nasa and all the brave Americans that made this happen
Love the way Jim stood up to introduce his wife.
Jim looked like Kevin Costner, Kevin would have been great on Apollo 13 instead of Tom hanks.
metal rules Never noticed that before. but yeah....much more like Costner.
I was trying to think who Lovell looked like, it was his mouth (side profile) that was making me think it. You're right, it's Kevin Costner. Same mouth, speech and same nose. He would've been great if he could match his Eliot Ness performance. Bacon as Swigert was a very good casting job too - same mouth and face shape. Bill whatever his name was as Fred Haise was also a great match. Shame the Hanks choice let it down a bit
Costner would have been involved in Waterworld I would imagine since both films came out in 95
Icansee u totally agree much more like Costner - think Hanks and Howard are buddies perhaps that has something to do with casting
Jim Lovell said himself on an interview that when it comes to looks he thought Kevin Costner should've played his character
I was unaware Swigert died back in the 80's
1982
Cancer🥺
Apollo 13 is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sinise woulda been better as Hayes and Pullman as jack as well as Jim played by Costner. Remember this time. Love the whole look and the patient respectful audience. What amazingly brave and level headed guys
These brave men are very lucky that the accident occurred on the way to the moon. Had it happened on the way home, they may not have had the L.E.M. to use as a "lifeboat".
There is no "may" about it. They would not have had the LM on the way back--at least not with fuel in it. They would have jettisoned it before making the burn back to Earth.
@@MarvelousLXVII Exactly. Not sure what he was thinking.
REAL American heroes!!!
When did they give this press conference? Anybody know the date?
I believe it was April 21, 1970
GODDAMMIT I want to see this complete without the godddamn cuts
And you won't. You can't for the ESTABLISHMENT has already edited and "RE-EDITED" the whole VIDEO to make sure they didn't LEAVE anything OUT that could be VERY INCRIMINATING... All the bleeps, whiteouts, cuts, audio missing, etc are NOT SIMPLY COINCIDENT. lol... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆
Jim Kostner or Kevin Lovell?
Jimmy Lovell or Jim Stewart?
Apollo 14 actually did fly the exact mission that Apollo 13 was supposed to have been, since the Fra Mauro site was more scientifically valuable than the one they were supposed to visit. Swigert was forced to resign after a profiteering scandal, but Fred Haise stayed in NASA and was the main test pilot for the space shuttle _Enterprise_, which proved the airworthiness of the shuttle orbiter.
Wow ... That's too bad about Swigert. To add insult to injury, he regrettably lost his life to cancer as well. RIP Jack ...
Swigert was removed from crew rotation for Apollo-Soyuz because of that Apollo 15 postage stamp incident, but he stayed with NASA until 1977.
How did they get the LEM attached to the tip (apex) of the rocket? Just spotted that. (LEM looks a little vulnerable don't you think?)
@@DaftSwank Was it caused by the radiation from space? Was it lung cancer?🤔
The LEM was designed to be attached to the command module for all the lunar flights. It was first done on Apollo 9 in low Earth orbit for practice and again on Apollo 10 which went to the Moon and that actually flew the LEM to within a few miles on the Moons surface but did not land. The LEM is stored on the launch between the third stage and the service module. After the third stage is discarded it is moved to the top of the command module. It's seemingly awkward shape is of no consequence in the airless environment.
Extremely lucky men to make it back alive, it really is incredible with the limited technology at the time.
+WD-40 It wasn't luck. They were damned good at what they do and so were the thousands of people who worked overtime to re-engineer the most complex machine ever built to keep them alive.
+CountArtha It was luck that the situation could actually be salvaged with that effort. A little worse luck, and no amount of effort would have saved them.
i just want to know who said in the lem if we make it home i wil buy a beer fro you guys
They talked about the urine dumps, what about number two stuff
Mr. Buzz did mention that he pooped and urinated in a container and threw it out the space ship. Then, he said his urine turned to crystal and they flew away into space. That he said was an awesome thing to see... ROTFLMAO!!!
They're so calm and composed seeing as they were just recently face to face with death.
flybywire09 That's why they were chosen to be astronauts.
Actually if you know what you are doing you will never be scared
that's good enough reason to be calm and composed. I'm sure it's a humbling experience.
Thousands of American boys facing violent death and mutilation at exactly the same time in Vietnam, with no mission control to save them.
You're kidding me, right? Good Gawd!
The crews of Apollo 11 and 12 were told by NASA management that if they had to abort their missions they would be put back in the rotation for the next flight. I suppose no such offer was extended to the 13 crew.
Lovell had already said he was going to retire after 13. Alan Shepard was CDR for 14 and nobody would be willing to tell him that he had to give up his seat - again - for Lovell. Shepard was the original CDR for 13. Haise was supposed to be CDR for Apollo 18 or 19. But the program got cancelled and 17 was the last flight. Haise did fly the Shuttle Enterprise though. He was part of the test crew for the Approach and Landing Tests.
lovell should have been give another flight
Douglas Buck AGREE ! But what did the nuts in DC decide ? Let’s cancel some missions......what a pathetic way to lose a huge technological advantage.
@@thomasmoeller2961 Yes, you trade a proven launch system with a 100% success rate for the garbage shuttle which killed more astronauts than anything else. We could have been to Mars by now if we would have built the Saturn V block II and III which was planned.
@@dewadattaa268 You forgot to bring up the fire on the ground that killed three astronauts.
I'm thinking Kevin Costner as Lovell, instead of Tom Hanks.
That's what Jim thought when they proposed the movie.
I think they haplanned that, but Costner wouldn’t or couldn’t.
I'm thinking George Coe as Lovell.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Coe
@@YDDES Costner's box office reputation was pretty bad at the time.
Yeah, but Kevin can't act.
Recently watching the SpaceX crew dragon launch, comparing the analog/slightly digital systems of the Apollo spacecrafts, its like a Model T and a Tesla.
Try comparing it to the starship Enterprise.....
Apollo spacecraft are actually far more advanced compared to anything today. I mean that. Apollo was a Moon landing program. The current spacecraft can't even get out of Earth orbit.
@@muttley8818 Well, id put it like this. Apollo was like a very specialized tool. A tool you spend a assload of money on for a very specific job. You use it for what its needed for, and then thats it. But you never forget how to use that tool..you may even let other ppl borrow it. Apollo was not only a spacecraft, but a program. All the things we learned about orbital mechanics, metallurgy, the first portable computers, test programs, f-1 injection plate issues, communication infrastructure spacecraft transportation/assembly and unfortunately, spacecraft atmosphere and material combustibility...the list is infinite. That stuff will never be unlearned. Our programs never became less advanced, they just became victims of budgets, politics and just the modern dynamics regarding the private sectors. But SHT! Nobody did it like Apollo.

this must have been ron howards bible for the movie.. haha (reference to apollo 13 movie)
I must be agree, but I love that movie... I will never understand why people hate it so much... a very dramatic movie, maybe... but if I could wish a documental I could go for a documental. That movie gives me what I spect from a movied based upon in real facts.
But yes, maybe the director just saw this conference to make that movie.
Fred Haise would have made a great Darrin on Bewitched
ha. true
conference occurred 2 days after they splashed down...Thought Haise had a 104 degree temperature, and was in the hospital for a week after they returned?
Most of these conferences are pre recorded, in some cases even before the 'mission' has taken place.
@@neilarmstrongsson795 You know this how?
@@gunternetzer9621
Let's just say I have my sources.
Take a look at the apollo 11 'return' press conference for example.
Why is it do you think that most don't buy that whole press conference, they come across as bored, unexcited about their 'achievement', nervous, awkward, taking extreme care with their answers etc etc.
That's because it was prerecorded, how could they possibly feign excitement for 2 hours about something they never actually did?
I don't think many men could.
Stuff from history
