"Roger, we're number 1 on the runway." LOL, pilot humour, I love it.
The flying saucers did a great photo job .....well done!!!!
My fav part is when they are actually on the Moon and they have the most realistic walking I have ever seen
Sarcastic?
@@jack5exe312 I think so

Yeah pretty good vid but then they kind of scrimped at like the most important part. It's like they got tired of the project after LOI.
One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

Absolutly fantastic! After 40 years I'm crying again. This movie makes us take pause again...."we will go to the moon, not because it is easy, but becasue it is HARD". Fantastic!
this is brilliantly done, whenever i attempt apollo missions on orbiter i forget where the moon is and just slowly fall down into the planet whilst i reread the manual :D
Brilliant use of the music from Apollo 13. :)
I believe that men, born on Earth, traveled to and landed on the Moon in '69. For the technology we had at that time, stop and wonder in awe at just how many things had to go right for them to go there and return safely back to Earth. It was like pitching no hitters every game of the season. Sinking every drive from the tee box as a hole in one every time. Miracle, great designs, dedicated personnel, or all of those things coming together to achieve the unachievable. I remember it all.
I can't help grinning ear to ear when I see things like this--even when it's just a fictional depiction. There's something about that rocket launching to that music...
Great job!!! Just a detail: Apollo spacecraft is spinning around all over the travel to avoid the over heat and over freeze states inside the machine.
Some education here:
During the beginning of the apollo program, the booster stage was originally going to be fitted with several engines. But during testing and designing engineers were able to increase the thrust output of the booster engine dramatically. They were then able to reduce the number of engines on the booster stage to only five and the Apollo craft itself was then reduced 30 percent in size.
The second stage had the same engines but were smaller in size.
Hollywood really needs to do this movie it was one of the most historic if not the most historic event of our time it deserves a big event movie.
I like how you used music from Apollo 13... :D
What an awesome video!...from watching the Saturn V liftoff to leaving the earths orbit, to entering the moons orbit and landing on the lunar surface to leaving the moon and splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. Long live Apollo 11. Neil Armstrong, you are now out there among the moon and the stars. Thank you for everything!
*sniff* plain awesome, realistic EVERYTHING Apollo 13 music, amazing graphics and Camera angles, you are so awesome at making these!
Nice work on the CGI. It's amazing how intricate this how process is ... Blast off, seperate, turn around, connect, pull out, fly to the Moon, seperate, land, seperate, reconnect, seperate, fly home, seperate, splash down ... and the hoaxers think this is fake? If it were fake it would be simple!
Hey mate, good to see you! Thanks for watching this one. :)
Really outsatnding work. This is probably the most poetic visual depiction of the complete Apollo mission timeline I've ever seen. Congratulations!
4:55 Good job, that's exactly how you slow down, by speeding up
Banana_Trooper52 XD
exactly... moon orbit insertion is done by burning retrograde. good job orbiter sim.!
Look at it closely, it is actually retrograde but the camera is moving weirdly.
and after that - what happened with the operator??...
Godspeed Neil Armstrong. You're taking the biggest step of all now
ThSaturn V (7 1/2 million lbs thrust) to this date is still the most powerfull launch vehicle. thank you so much for your hard work an creating this video
Thanks for the video, been reading" How Apollo Flew to the Moon" by W David Woods. I LOVED watching the Saturn launches and the chutes open on return as a kid! The mechanical engineering was amazingly incredible!
paul oboczky back in the day America showed those russkies who had the biggest unit...🐸🐢
Absolutely outstanding I'm glad I found it, if only America will go back to the greatness of doing big things.
Gotta love the astronauts hopping like that
Spectacular dude! . You inspired me to have another go with Orbiter . After pulling my hair out the first time the only thing that got anywhere near orbit was my PC.
Awesome video! This is the only one I can find that shows all the seperations and extraction and jettison. It was a very complicated mission. I've been using toys to explain it to my 3 y/o daughter but now I'm gonna show her this! Thank you!
Hot diggety damn!!! Best damn video ever produced. If we had the post-Columbia cameras on Apollo 11, not only we would have lunar cities, but a colony on Mars and a crew on Titan.
One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
-Neil Amstrong.
I was hooked on the American space programme when as a 13 year old I saw a little shiny dot slowly move into the dark half of the moon through my telescope as the sun glinted off the command module and LEM..that was cool.
2 more things:
When the CM was under the main chutes, it was not in the flat attitude your film depicts. It was oriented with a 20 degree tilt to enter the water more gently.
Also, Apollo 11 flipped over and entered the "Stable 2" attitude and was apex down in the water for about 4 minutes unitl the lift bags inflated and flipped it back to "Stable 1".
wow.. mind blowing.. very, very impressed... you are not only a skilled astronaut but a skilled cinematographer.. congrats.
One small step for Val, one giant leap for Kerbalkind :) Orbiter aged very well. Still looks awesome. And as for version 2006 it ran smooth on 3200 MHz P4 & GF6200. I did not try any version past 2006, soon afterward became hooked into Pioneer space sim. I still do remember fondly my journeys around the Sol system using F-302 mod.
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
Very good work amigo!
wow estabas aqui desde hace tantos años :O
BEST ORBITER FILM ON CZcams!
There's the greatest thing mankinds ever accomplished. This mission is the most important mission of all mankind
Story of human exploration of space is incredibly inspiring... And an incredibly sad one.
now THIS one is well made...great job on this.
The LEM's used in Apollos 15, 16, and 17 were 'advanced' LEM's with a more powerful descent engine that could carry more weight down to the surface. The Rover was folded up to about the size of a baby playpen and put in a small 'garage' on the side of the LEM descent stage. A rail would also unfold from the garage that the rover would slide down to hit the surface, so the astronauts just had to open the garage, pull the rover out, unfold it, and they were ready to go.
I'm sure LazyD would have been honored to have his name on such a fantastic showcase of something he helped make possible. Great job Tex.
Incredibly beautiful- there is just no other worldly way to say it- it borders with the sublime its so beautiful-
congrats on a job well done
Kudos from Texas
This is beautiful. Godamn what an achievement, watching this makes me sympathise with deniers, it just look so impossible.
It was fake.
Brilliant! I wept when Neil Armstrong died. A Hero of mine fell. And would you believe I saw a "1960's Johnny Apollo by Marx" on EBay? I didn't think I had a chance to own it, but by some miracle I won. Never owned one. But I wanted something tangible to remember the awe and wonder of the Apollo years. When every boy stopped and watched the T.V. set to see real live Heroes do the impossible. One step into infinity. LOVE the video you made. "Keep Gazing At The Stars"
It is so amazing what they achieved 60years ago!!! Werher von Braun and his team, I mean NASA and every man and women who worked on this program!
I got one word for this video......epic
Excellent video Tex (as always).
Amazing how they did this amazing accomplishment in 1969. In the new NASA Docu 'Moon revisted', they admitted that they are having to re-learn how to do this all over again.
Great Vid m8!
Amazing and wonderful recreation the greatest moment in the history of Space Explotation.. regret to say Neil Armstrong died at the age of 82 on 25 August 2012 !
may his soul rest in Peace !
Thank you very much for taking the time to review both films captaincrab. This film was indeed all shot with only Orbiter. ;)
I`ve been reading a few books about the moonshot recently. This is a great little movie. I laughed when I saw them `hopping' about on the moon! Obviously not 100% accurate but I enjoyed watching it anyway .
great! fantastic orbiter spaceflight simulator, AMSO addon and the Apollo 13, good job.
Goodspeed!
And all done in orbiter!!! Wow, I could not dream of getting that kind of frame rate!!
The Apollo add-on is called AMSO, which stands for "Apollo Mission Simulator for Orbiter". Just Google search AMSO, and it should be the first thing listed.
FANTASTIC! 5 stars and a favorite
Very well done, kudos to the poster, I really enjoyed watching this. One small point I did notice and I don't know if this has been commented on prior having not read the comments but in the sequence showing LOI at around 4:55 you depict the CSM firing along the direction of travel, during LOI the CSM would of been firing against the direction of travel to slow down the craft in relation to the moon for orbit insertion. Thanks for posting this.
Very nicely done! Only a few minor nits: the escape tower was jettisoned by firing a rocket, so it should have flown well ahead of the Apollo/Saturn stack, not fallen by its side. And when the LM ascent stage was jettisoned, the docking probe and drogue were both left with the LM; the probe didn't remain with the CSM.
He didn't steal it, he used it, and it is a great combination. Apollo 13 has a great soundtrack.
2 Things:
Your LOI burn at 5:03 shows a posigrade burn. Both the initial and secondary LOI burns were both retrograde (negative delta V's).
Also, the CSM, LM separation was actually performed with the CSM towards the lunar surface, so Collins could inspect the gear without the lunar background.
This is the way to make a beautiful vid good music (no stupid hard rock) and sound effects and voices. I was there in 1969 when I see the landing live on TV on the moon. This good vid bring me back to that historical day in 1969. A lot of thanks.
Thanks Bob!
everyone add &fmt=18 to the end of this video's link to make it high-definition! It looks WAAAYYY better. Great video Tex, simply amazing. Orbiter is a great simulator.
Beautifully well done. Nevermind the nit-pickers, as I'm sure they're not familiar with the constraints the Orbiter software imposed on you.
I enjoyed it immensely .
I don't know why your comment is marked as spam, because I totally agree with you. Mankind is born to explore, and yet, all we do for now is kill each other for money... I dream of a day when man will go back to the moon, and even Mars... Space is mankind's greatest adventure, I hope more people realize that.
As always, it's really great to hear from you as I take alot of inspiration from your videos. Thanks for being a friend and for watching my films!
All the best,
-Tex
Thanks for the comments everyone. I am sorry I have not kept up with them all as I am usually best about it when the video is fresh. This video has really gotten a lot of comments though so I just wanted to say thanks here instead of replying to everyone individually.
Thanks for all your ratings, comments, and support! :-)
All the best,
-Tex
Orbiter is the most amazing "flight" simulator. And the AMSO (Apollo Mission) add-on is breathtaking beautifully done .... :-)
Wow superb video, cracking, beautiful etc!
I love the astranaughts and how they bounce along ;)
this deserves more views this is spot on my favorite orbiter film
Thank you John Houbolt...for the lunar orbit rendezvous (LOR) idea...
Very well and professionally done, thumbs up, every time I look at my videos on Apollo 11 and see how the rocket takes off I get goose bumps: D
glad to see you back in action, tex!
Thank you Cj.
Nicely done! Amazing video! And great job with adding the "Apollo 13" music into there. I never realized how far away the earth and moon actually are until I saw this video.
Thank you!
This is magnificent. All your hard work has created a wonderful tribute to mankind's greatest achievement (so far...). Thank you
Thanks very much for explaining this! I did many times in the past, but gave up after people kept posting saying I did it wrong. :-)
I am speechless, that was amazing...probably the best game video I have ever seen on youtube! It's just beautiful, the shots are amazing, I really can't say much more, it's a perfect video, just...beautiful.
i saw the originals on tv when i was much younger :)
Lol
-Tranquillity base, Houston...
-Go ahead
-You are cleared for take off
-Roger everything, Number 1 on the runway
best Apollo 11 remake ever!!!! good job keep it up :D
Thanks mate, it was a pleasure to make it, I wish he could have seen it. See you on the forum!
took me ages to find a video like this.
I believe 16:42 is UTC, not Mission Elapsed Time as you are assuming here. TLI began at about 02:40:16 into the mission and ended at 02:50:03 MET. CSM separation happened at 3:15:23 and docking at 3:24:04, so the times given on the film are about right in UTC.
LA MEJOR ANIMACION QUE HE VISTO DE ESTE GRAN MOMENTO. THES BEST ANIMATION THAN I HAS SEEN OF THIS GREAT MOMENT. THANK YOU FOR MADE IT.
TexFilms' tutorials for understanding how to use some of the MFDs helped me figure a lot of it out the past few weeks. I can at least rendezvous and dock with space stations, and get to/from the Moon now. Haven't tried getting to Mars yet though. lol
I know that, but BlackSky001 asked for the total number of Apollo flights including Skylab flights. And astronauts did fly to Skylab using leftover Apollo CM's.
Thanks for all your support mate! :)
First, thank you to everyone for your comments! Its already been 3 years and approaching 200,000 views. Thanks for all your support!
Second, I removed any and all comments debating the moon hoax conspiracy. Any new comments made on this subject will be removed and the user blocked.
7:17
I couldn't have been the only once who lol`d at the astronaut "hopping".
Great job! The camera angles are ones we only dreamed of before. Thanks for making some of them real now.
Okay, thank you!
Hi rumbleforce, thanks for your comments. :)
I'm using Sony Vegas 7.
Great little in-game movie ! :-) I like how you used the Apollo 13 soundtrack.
Thanks alot mate, means alot coming from you! :)
I love the way you speak. It reminds me of how I spoke when I was in grade 5.
Great work, five stars
(( apollo 11 press conference )) when 3 greatest hero of humanity come back to earth with proud and happy face...
Thanks for agreeing with me and backing up my statement.
cheers for this mate. been wondering how this works for ages n now its been answered
An incredible achievement.
Very good graphic simulation... I enjoyed it very much!! :-) thanks!
The world can be one together
Cosmos without hatred
Stars like diamonds in your eyes
The ground can be space (space, space, space, space)
With feet marching towards a peaceful sky
All the Moonmen want things their way
But we make sure they see the sun
Goodbye, Moonmen
We say goodbye, Moonmen
Goodbye, Moonmen
Goodbye, Moonmen
Oh, goodbye
Cosmos without hatred
Diamond stars of cosmic light
Quasars shine through endless nights
And everything is one in the beauty
And now we say goodbye, Moonmen
We say goodbye, Moonmen
Goodbye, Moonmen
Goodbye, Moonmen
Oh, goodbye
