This is the first time I ever saw this. Those Divers were incredible. The Decontamination process was so well done and thorough. The recovery was more dangerous then the actual landing.......the sea is so unpredictable. They were all in great physical condition. Yes, the atmosphere burned up stuff on the outside but those astronauts were covered with very fine moon dust. God knows what could have been present in those molecules. Great footage. Thank you for this. Amazing. Brave men all!!!!

[@emit673]

The wallpaper on the surface of the capsule was damaged and peeled off. "experts" from NASA did not know that after three days of weightlessness, no one is able to get out of the capsule on their own. One of them was weightless for seven days. They didn't know then that without training devices on board, they had no chance of moving around on their own.

Guys I hate seeing Lies propagated. I grew up in Houston Tx right by the Space center and I have seen it all and been to many NASA facilities. We sent many things into space but we never went to the Moon, it's a lie plain and simple. The Moon is 28k miles away, orbit is 200 miles. They wanted to cover up for killing Kennedy with a big Moon shot to fulfill Kennedy's dream and smooth over relations with the public that knew they were guilty. They really wanted to go and tried to figure out a way. Problem was it's impossible or was given the technology of the day. So when faced with telling the public we tried but failed or just lying and sending some guys up for a couple orbits then claiming they went, they did what the government always does and lies. It's 52 years latter and no one not even us has been back?? It's a lie, don't believe lies even if they are nice ones.

My father and his brother worked on the splashdown and recovery system for Apollo. In particular the airbags used to right the capsule. There was a lot of hand wringing about the requirement to right itself rather than attach something after landing. The fear was that they might land hours away from a rescue ship in bad weather, turn turtle and the crew perish because they couldn't be flipped. They opted to haul the 200+ pound airbag system all the way to the moon and back.

We even have a few photos of Bbq's with some of the pilots when I was 3 or 4. Unfortunately, I have no memory of meeting any of the pilots. Mom tells me dad wanted to be pert of a recovery crew but, wrong branch, wrong skills. Mom tells me he begged and pleaded with everyone he knew in the project but it didn't happen. With the thousands & thousands involved with Apollo, he was lucky to have the involvement he did have. The entire country was behind these missions.

Think on this, how did the astronauts feel sitting in that wallowing capsule after 8 days of weightlessness and after putting on the BIGs not puking while wearing them is beyond me. A lot of people don't realize they put a test capsule to the test of survival if it landed way off range. They chose a crew to live at sea inside for 48 hours. The horror stories of everyone being seasick is legendary.

[@Nghilifa]

Frank Borman puked all over Jim Lovell after splashing down on Gemini 7 I think, it was either that mission or Apollo 8. Those capsules don´t make for good boats, that´s for sure.

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

I was thinking the same thing. Poor bastards.

[@JOECANDELA22]

@@Nghilifa In the movie Apollo 13 Tom Hanks, portraying Jim Lovell, mentions that Borman was puking all the way to the moon and back.

[@Nghilifa]

Joe Candela yes. It was due to space sickness. In the smaller Gemini capsule, which both he and Lovell had flown before, there wasn’t enough room to maneuver around inside, but in the Apollo command module, they had much more room, to maneuver around, and that causes space sickness. Rusty Schweickhart experienced the same on Apollo 9, which caused him to only do a “stand up” Eva on the “porch” of the lunar module, instead of the planned EVA transfer from the LM to the command module. It was a phenomenon that wasn’t very well understood at the time, since they first encountered it on Apollo. Nowadays it’s (obviously) completely normal, and it won’t have any consequences as it usually stops within a couple of days. But back then, they’d pull you from a future flight if you got it (which is partially the reason why Schweickhart only flew on Apollo 9).

We take the time to learn everything we can, test what we can, to ad nauseam. Thats why we didnt lose as many flights and personnel as other countries. Not to say it doesnt take nuts to jump on the end of a rocket.. but it helps knowing you have a gigantic, dedicated team.. to make sure it doesnt (even if you are relying on competing contractors.)

@@lindsaymartinez5341 You're right. Kids today think technology didn't exist before mobile phones, the internet and social media. It's sad that they are so blinkered. They really should look up from their devices once in a while. The (real) world is a great place full of actual people carrying out real face to face conversations.

Back in the early 90s you could go to the Smithsonian Institute and touch the Apollo 11 capsule. I think these days it’s surrounded by a barrier.

[@Legend-v5vls]

i did that

[@chrisbelos2834]

i was under the impression that the Apollo 11 crew were shipped from the capsule to the quarantine chamber. seeing them being pulled out in the sea, lifted up and flew back in a chopper is a great story i didn't know about. Thank you for your service and for this video!

Just ran across this. Excellent! I wish there was more to this story, namely the preparations made by the USS Hornet CVS 12. I was a crew member for the recovery. We had left Long Beach CA about 8 weeks prior, for Pearl Harbor. We practiced recovering with a dummy capsule, so we were in and out of port for about 6 weeks. We did have liberty and a good time ashore. The ship had just returned from 9 months duty off Vietnam when we received orders to be the prime recovery ship for Apollo 11. We were mostly an all-seasoned crew and shell backs, meaning we had been across the equator when overseas prior to. The amusing part there is an initiation involved with crossing the equator, and we had new people and scientist aboard that had to be initiated as we were again going to cross. Fun times!

I am JUST old enough to remember this live, and I'm 55 years old. My 54-year-old brother doesn't remember it. I was 4 years old when they landed and I only just remember being dragged out of bed in the early hours to see the landing on the moon. Those of us who can remember it from when it happened are getting fewer in number because, at the time, there were only 3Bn people on the planet, and probably only 500m had access to live TV broadcasts of the event. I figure that 300m of them are now dead, which doesn't leave many of us who actually saw it live on TV.
