Apollo 12 Remastered (50th Anniversary Edition) [4K]

none of the music is mine; all NASA footage is public domain.
rights go to their respective holders
and a quick note here:
I realize that Apollo 17 technically launched during a new moon...the statement that "all Apollo flights launched when the Moon was in first quarter", while largely accurate, IS a generality and should be taken as such. There were nuances to each flight trajectory, in terms of the amount of midcourse burns and inclination north/south.
Special thanks to Lunarmodule5 for his excellent Apollo 12 audio, please go see his channel, it's THE place for Apollo content on KZbin.

Alan Bean was a client of my company when he began his art career. The employees always let me answer the phone when he called in. I finally gained enough courage to tell him about my space/astronaut fascination and he mailed my sons some signed memorabilia. Such a nice guy. Well done documentary. Thank you.

[@tonyb8660]

[@mightypotato]

Apollo 12 has always been my favourite. It was a bunch of friends who decided to go to the moon together. While they were always the utmost professionals, you could tell they were having the time of their lives.

[@willoughbykrenzteinburg]

This sentiment is nice, don't get me wrong, but they didn't "decide to go to the moon together". The crew of Apollo missions was decided by someone else (Deke Slayton). Of course camaraderie plays a small role in Deke's decision, but this notion that three guys got together and decided on their own to go to the moon is not how it happened. Really the entire corp of astronauts and their families were all friends aside from a few outliers. I think any crew might have had the same sort of "fun" together on Apollo 12. It wasn't necessarily a matter of closeness, but of the astronauts becoming somewhat complacent. They had Apollo 8, Apollo 10, and Apollo 11 under the belts of the program and missions to the moon were becoming somewhat "routine", so the tension over these missions was starting to dissipate right around Apollo 12. Of course, they still took the mission seriously, and they were as professional a crew as any other - but a lot of the totally unknowns that prior missions had as a backdrop just didn't exist, so perhaps that manifested itself as what you would call a playful "time of their lives" sort of vibe.

[@fask69]

they also were the only mission to visit a lunar probe

Pete to Alan: “I’m like the guy waiting for his wife at the market, holding the bags.” 😁The Apollo 12 astronauts were so much fun!🤗👏🇺🇸

[@petesmith9472]

I had the honour of flying a Hughes 500 around Sydney Australia with Pete Conrad when he was McDonnell Douglas Senior VP for international business development. He was a quiet low profile kinda guy who was very gracious and engaging …. Then out would pop his underlying love of life and his sense of humour. He could fly basically anything created by man. I am proud to boast of that aviation highlight in my life.

[@MrRolotube]

​@@willoughbykrenzteinburg Not "quite" right. Deke would start selecting a commander and then provided him with a choice of options, if there were any. Since Pete and Dick, who had known each orher for years, and had formed a well-matching couple on GT-11, Dick was kind of a natural choice. Note that C. C. Williams wss the original LMP in Pete's crew. After he had been killed in a T-38 crash, indeed it was Pete who opted to have Al as his LMP. So in effect, they were a band of good friends who had the joy of flying together. And you won't find any Apollo crew that would have that much fun together. Btw., you'll notice there are four stars onthe mission patch. The fourth stands for C. C. Williams.

Another masterpiece. Congratulations! I met Alan Bean, Gordon Cooper and Pete Conrad when they came to Venezuela after their flight. I was 14 years old and already an expert in all things Apollo, so I was invited to the press conference to ask them a question. I gave them a replica of the LEM made entirely of cardboard and they signed it for posterity. A few years later I received the moon rock that NASA donated to Venezuela from the hands of Jack Schmitt. Your documentaries have brought all these memories back. If you ever want to see the pictures I took of both events, let's talk. Congratulations again!

My favorite thing about the early space missions from Mercury through Apollo is hearing first time astronauts exclaim about the rumble, the g, the views, and just the feeling over comm - these are all top tier military men but they still feel like they've got to report it over the radio.. maybe for the public but you don't see that anymore. Really brings home how absolutely insane the first people to strap themselves to a massive rocket must've felt when they were rocketing at hypersonic speeds out of the atmosphere... thank you for including so much comm it's the best part to me.

[@earlatkins9559]

Just like being there. I remember watching all the missions on TV, before the TV stations got bored of broadcasting the missions. They didn't seem to care that history was being made, and that people might be interested in watching the flights.. I always thought that the camera was inadvertently pointed directly at the sun while he was mounting it on its stand. Now I know. That reflection was a killer. The one thing that I am curious about is the footage of the Lunar Module in "flight", once it separated from the CSM. Why is the footage reversed? The large tank is always on the right side, not the left side. Pretty much any footage I see of all the LM's is reversed. These documentaries are absolutely the best representation of the Apollo Missions. You should be winning an Academy Award for best documentary series.

My favourite mission of them all. I've long wondered if there had been any other spaceflight where the crew had as much genuine, openly communicated fun as Conrad, Bean and Gordon did. And Conrad's immortal first words are the icing on the cake. "Whoopee!" and "Oooh, is that soft and queasy." make me laugh each and every time. In general, he just may be my favourite astronaut of them all for combining utmost proficiency with a very colourful personality. Thank you for a very fitting tribute! I thought than nothing could surpass From The Earth To Moon's "That's All There Is", but this proves me very wrong. If I had to name a reference for documentaries on Mercury, Gemini and Apollo, your videos would easily come out on top!

great documentary - really enjoyed the description of how and why they performed certain procedures and how you've put it all together to make sense of what was necessary to get there. great anecdote about the apollo 12 lightening rod ⚡️🚀 just one error in this video - the annotation at 37:33 says 'Contact, flight' - which is wrong - it should read, 'Contact Light' - which has been explained by the astronauts that there was a light which came on when the landing pads engaged the surface of the moon, and this light was the 'Contact Light' - and they were relaying to ground control that this light had come on - you may want to correct this minor error - otherwise, a very excellent exposition of the Apollo 12 mission - thank you.

Our greatest failure in spaceflight not involving the loss of life was the cancellation of the last three Apollo landings. Nothing we went on to do was worth losing those additional opportunities to explore another world. Dick Gordon would have been the commander of Apollo 18 had it flown. In a quirk of Deke Slayton's flight rotation, he was also the only backup pilot Dave Scott ever had, performing those duties for Gemini 8, Apollo 9, and Apollo 15.

It must have been a bitter blow for him. He and Vance worked so hard, and Joe Engle was bumped for Jack Schmitt. Overall, this ultimately short sightedness on the part of Congress. RIP to the crew of Apollo 12.

I love these and have watched them many times. So we’ll done! Thanks for making me feel like a kid again!

[@alanluscombe8a553]

I am so glad I found you’re channel. My father and I are obsessed with the Apollo missions and you have the best content hands down which shows more than any other I have seen.

Thank you for covering one of the more forgotten Apollo flights to the moon. Two memories I have that have not been mentioned since Nov ‘69: One of the questions asked by the press to Pete Conrad was “Were you on an oxygen high” during the moon walk. The other thing that disappeared down the rabbit hole was the that some of the 70mm Ektachrome 64 film magazines were accidentally left on the moon along side other normally discarded equipment. Kiddos for mentioning the in flight press conference. No other documentaries have ever mentioned it. No other Apollo flight before or after ever had one. Thank you for also not mixing and matching film clips from other flights and not using a British voice over which has become vogue in the documentaries in the last 10 years. Above all, thank you for not dumbing down anything.

Your documentaries on space exploration are the best I have ever seen. Thank you!

John Aaron saved the day more than once during the Apollo Saga. One country boy that didn't go to school just to eat his lunch. Learned a few things along the way....lol
