Was any reason ever given why reentry blackout lasted over three minutes?

they had better stopped financing the Vietnam war instead of NASA... but hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

I would like to see what the brave, adventurous people of the 60ies could do with the technology of today.

The one failure of the mission. If only Scott put his hand up. “I was the commander. I brought the deal to my crew; it’s on me.” But no… And really; disaster strikes!?? Challenger was disaster. Columbia. Apollo 1. They were disasters.

is it possible that you will make a documentary about SpaceX's Starship?

In a time where people seem to have forgotten the incredible accomplishments of NASA these documentaries are more important than ever! Sometimes I wonder where we would be today if NASA’s budget stayed at 3-4% of the federal budget… Thanks for all your hard work!

This man should be running the documentary studio. Unbelievable the level of work that one man puts out. If he didn’t say it I would think it’s an entire team. Wonderful channel.

We're in Dec 2024 and still NASA is pushing the date back for us to get to the moon. Saying they are still trying to figure out how to get to the moon safely. Look it us. They say we went way back in the 60's but today they're having trouble "going back". They're going to have to announce that there is no again. There's only a first. Their explanation is that they destroyed all their records and wrote over the crafts tapes. Leaving us no records of their flights to the moon, EVER.

It is a shame and something of a disgrace that afro ameican Ed White never made it to the final group. Apparently Chuck Yaeger had blocked his progress. Deke Slayton blatantly lied to the press that no Black individual had been trained for the space programme. Secondly, Buzz Aldrin does not get enough credit for advancing the development of walking in space.

I hope we get back to the moon with SLS and our commercial partners in the coming years.

I note a liberal use of the soundtrack from "The Right Stuff"

25:20 What interesting insight. Took a minute to understand this point’s implications and with hindsight.

Well Done!

Great simulator, the best ever.

To the creator..... don't think no one caught where you used some music from Morrowind in there 😂😂😂 I love it .... Seriously, I wish I had found these sooner....this series is the most excellent, well researched play by play of the early space program I have ever seen, by far.

Outstanding documentary! The research the images the music very well done!

Очень интересные документалки для любителя темы. Благодаря наличию у тебя четкого произношения и появлении текста в видео мой английский становится немного лучше :)

I don't remember the Mercury flights. My memory goes back to Gemini. One exception was seeing the Echo 1 ballon in 1960. It passed overhead when we lived in Riverside, CA. We could actually see it move slowly across the night sky. I was about six. I remember one time having a model of the Redstone Mercury rocket. I am glad to have lived in the 1960s and seen the developments in space technology.

Excellent production!

When this popped up on my feed, I assumed it was just a n upload of the old pieced together 90s CDs. Wow, what a great surprise. Beautiful work here.

i wish i wasn’t poor i’d 100% get on your patrion i watch these like multiple times a year

I was 4 years old when Apollo 16 and 17 landed but I somewhat remember watching news clips of it live on Tv.I think I remember seeing the rover live on Apollo 15 when I was 3.Some my earliest brief memories.Thank you for your service Mr Duke

I recognize the "Homeworld" soundtrack.

I know there are only finite amounts of missions, but looking forward to any more content you have on the channel

does any one know what footage is at 1:23:32

15:31

This video reminds me of being in science class in middle school, I miss it so much

gotta love the skyrim music playing in the background. lololol

I’m allergic to Letterman. Does he appear in this documentary except at the beginning?

Voder1 is baie groode 🛰️📡🔭🪐🌠💯✨⭐🌟🧲🕳️💫👍

Parabéns pela dedicação e trabalho de todos os envolvidos no projeto Apolo.

The most incredible and interesting time in American history, the space race, Cold war, Nazi science, defeating communism, moon landing--its fascinating and the story is as beautiful as the pictures they brought home.

Oh wow, memories.

This put tears in my eyes. I wish we could have great missions like this again.

I am binge watching those amazing documentaries and I'll be doing that all day long today... One thing that struck me in this one was the sheer size of the rocket and its attached tower compared to the tiny helicopter flying around it...

33:09

So sad that we stopped exploring. We would have had a base on the moon and probably a Mars landing by now. We probably sealed our own fate, by stopping.

Great vid!!! Will you make one on Skylab?

Absolutely stellar. Love it. Riveting.

WHO SAID THIS JACKSON!? @14:30 ''Everything we now do, every advancement, contributes to that, and just because l cant see it, doesn't mean it isn't there ...and if we refuse to take those steps because we dont see what the future holds, all we are making certain of is that the future wont exist, and that we will stagnate forever, and this is a dreadful thought...and i am very tired when people ask me ''whats the good of it?'' because the answer is: ''You may never know, but your grandchildren will'' ~ l'm trying to answer Neil Degrass Tyson who says Elons vision for Mars is pointless. Thank You. :)

I've been binge watching your amazing documentaries since yesterday ( I would have watched them all at once but I had work to do ) I feel the same level of excitement I felt when "The right stuff" hit the movie theaters back then... I feel like I am not watching a documentary but one of the most amazing movies ever made... All the persons depicted in your documentaries do not simply look like footage taken here and there, you make us feel like we are INSIDE the stories if that makes any sense...And that is a very rare gift...

I think music is maybe the most important thing on a movie or in this case a documentary, and your ability to find soundtracks is unbelievable. I would never think that a simple image of Venus would fascinate me. Great work as always.

I was so relieved to see the continuation of your amazing documentary... When the last one ended it left me wanting more... Documentaries can sometimes be boring but you managed to inject life into them... That and the choice of music gave me ( and everyone else ) an incredibly fascinating experience... Thank you so much 👍👍👍

Absolutely fabulous and fascinating 🚀🚀🚀 You did a great job putting this documentary together, I was constantly captivated...

I get that Joe didn't work I didn't even think it would take either, but suggesting Greg is just way out of the realm of possibilities

This reminds me of my favorite line out of The Right Stuff. "You want a drink of whisky " ? 😅

Who’s the narrator on this? He really sounds like Evan Hadfield of Real Earth / Astronaut Chris Hadfield’s son

Space flight was always privatised. Throughout it's whole history 80% and more of NASA's budget went to private companies. The only inhouse development have been astronaut training, mission procedure analysis and mission execution. NASA had to carry all the risk while private companies got all the rewards. Now that they have taken everything over, NASA is pushed aside to be nothing but janitors and museum guides of old launch pads and assembly buildings.

Without doubt the best series of its kind. I’m blown away by the level of detail I listen to them several times and continually learn more and more. I bet nasa must be so pleased to see the care taken with all they have accomplished presented in such a style and finesse.
