A fascinating piece of film. Many thanks for sharing. I didn't notice a date on it anywhere. do you know when It was made? I only ask because right at the end the LM still has a contact probe on the "ladder leg"; and the sudden engine throttle back doesn't happen at "contact light on".

It's prior to Apollo 9 as there aren't any RCS plume deflectors on the decent stage, just the original (and insufficient) black protection arcs.

I miss the serious grown up commentary from adult engineers of the 1960s. Todays Spacex launches sound like a highschool beer swilling party

[@_MaxHeadroom_]

Spacex had a more grown up sounding announcer but it appears they've gotten rid of him

Interesting how the Ryan company of San Diego built this radar system and the spirit of St. Louis aircraft used by Lindbergh
