Twelve men walked on the moon, but this is the one time a live crew made it back from the moon in a dead ship.

[@RyanTravis23]

Two of the three astronauts are still alive, including Jim Lovell, played by Tom Hanks. He is 96 years old!

[@kate2create738]

Chief Flight Director Gene Kranz is around too, recently saw an interview he did a few years ago with the American Veteran Center, as he was originally in the American Airforce that eventually signed up for the proposal of space exploration projects. He also was Chief Flight Director of Apollo 11, the mission that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took to land on the moon. Listening to him was very inspirational, truly a man that exudes leadership. He’s now in his early 90’s.

What an incredible life he has lived. Imagine all of the insane amount of sheer change he has witnessed in the world since he was a kid. Hell, he lived through 9 and a half decades!!! Plus he got to go to the moon. Absolutely insane, and definitely legendary

[@geoffsullivan7902]

They pulled tvs into our classroom when I was in elementary school for this moment…..it was like no other day at school. I live in Florida since 2000 and saw the last space shuttle night launch from the ground on the other side of the cape. My father cried, I cried….it was beautiful to see. ❤😊great reaction.

The zero gravity effect was made by filming inside an airplane that, when diving, accelerated at the same speed as the force of gravity, 9 meters per second. A very scary experience for the actors.

WRONG!!!! The aircraft CLIMBS at a 45 degree angle and then levels off at the apex. 25 seconds of zero gravity is achieved just before reaching the apex, at the apex and just after apex.

[@laurakali6522]

You know you have a great movie when people who know the factual outcome, still get stressed by the movie.

[@ninjabearpress2574]

True, I watched this unfold on TV but when I watch this movie I'm convinced they're not going to make it. Ron Howard created a masterpiece here.

[@karlsmith2570]

Interesting fact far you guys: Director Ron Howard actually cast 3 members of his own family in this movie. His mother played Jim Lovell's mother, Blanche His father played the Lovell family's priest Ron's brother, Clint Howard, played one of the mission control team members

[@scifiauthor]

Loved y’alls reaction. I am both terrified and intrigued by outer space. More afraid, though, if I am honest. As you said so well: “Fudge that! Fudge that.”

[@tvdroid22]

The Apollo 11 mission was broadcast live to the world. There were 9 missions to the moon. Six of them involved landing. There are launch windows that have to be considered. Thats why these missions are so time-critical. Jim took the blame because he's mission commander. The Hollywood-ized part was the stress between the crew. Swigert wasn't nearly as green as they portrayed him. In the crisis, they were actually quite cool-headed. They launch in Florida. Mission Control is in Texas. You saw ice falling off the rocket at launch. The 1st and 2nd rocket sections do not remain in orbit. They burn up on re-entry. They can actually make the trip ti the moon in half the time. They actually have to take an indirect course to slow down. The moon's gravity is not strong enough to catch them for orbit, and they can't carry enough fuel to slow down, so it has to be done in such a way to allow both Earth's gravity and the moon to be coordinated to establish a lunar orbit. The Fra Mauro highlands is a formation on the near side of the moon which includes the Fra Mauro crater. It was named after the 15th century Italian monk and map maker of the same name. They simulated weightlessness in an aircraft performing a series of dives. The plane was known as the Vomit Comet. It wasnt just losing the moon, it was the realization of just how fudged they were. The tool you saw was called a slide rule. It was what they all used before computers. If they landed in Russia they would die. Not for political reasons. The impact would kill them. They HAD to land in the water so unless they got lucky and hit a lake.... The movie made good use of actual broadcast footage. Tom Hanks shakes hands with the real Jim Lovell dressed as a Navy officer at the end of the movie.

[@perrin6]

Slide rules were used before the calculator was invented.

[@brettmuir5679]

The Vomit Comet achieve zero G by climbing along a parabolic arc that ends in a dive. Zero G is achieved at the apex of the arc

[@React2This]

It’s amazing to realize that the phone I’m typing this on has more computing power than the Apollo astronauts had available to them.

[@0710IceMan]

Yeah, that's just insane 😅

[@lajoswinkler]

That would be a good comparison in 1990 with brick cellphones. Nowdays, it is just preposterous, like comparing ant's turd to a mountain.

[@marieoleary527]

I was 14 when this happened in 1970. The whole world was watching and praying for these 3 astronauts.

[@newrandomguy4218]

Not so long ago.

[@lizetteolsen3218]

Yes this is a true story. Those of us of an age watched it and followed it. I am always shocked with reviews of this movie how many young people are surprised it is real. What in the world is being taught in school around the world including the States??? Have you watched 'The Right Stuff'? Another phenomenal movie about the early days of the US space program. AMAZING!!! Ron Howard (director) and Tom Hanks (lead actor) are MAJOR space program geeks. I had the honor of meeting Sen John Glenn multiple times in his later role as Ohio Senator--a true hero. He took my cell phone (from early days of cell phones) and said to me 'You have more technological capacity in this phone, compared to what we had during the early space program.' If you ever get to visit the States, please make the time to visit the National Space Museum in DC.

[@janeathome6643]

The Right Stuff is such a brilliant movie!!!

[@lizetteolsen3218]

@@janeathome6643 I do watch that film again from time to time. Just amazing both the technical skill and the rock solid bravery of those test pilots. Chuck Yeager (RIP) was the MAN, wasn't he?

[@louisekindred0059]

The Right Stuff is amazing. Just make plenty of popcorn because it's so long 😂 I use to fly model rockets in schools to make Aussie kids history and science lessons more interesting. The young kids loved it. You'd be amazed how many young ones didn't know that man had walked on the moon ! At a public display at a local festival a young boy about 12 walked up and gave me an original signed autograph picture of Neil Armstrong. His dad was a pilot and said it was OK to give it to me. I still have it along with wonderful letters from NASA and astronauts saying thankyou to our small club for teaching kids about the space program in Australia. Treasured memories of a different era. Anyhow yes The Right Stuff is awesome. I've watched it a few times on a lazy Saturday arvo... three and a quarter hours is one long movie 🙆‍♀️

[@waldo216]

I remember watching the Moon landing with my Dad, as a kid.

[@johnnehrich9601]

I was in college during the landing of Apollo 11, and was home on summer break (it was July). Apollo 13 happened the following April, when I was back at school and didn't have a tv, so pretty much missed this event.

[@user-wr9ej6xe4j]

Theres a funny joke since Forest Gump and Apollo 13 were being made at the same time, and Tom Hanks and Gary Sinise (Lt Dan) were in both movies. In Forest Gump when Lt Dan (the guy who didnt have the measles in Apollo 13) comes to Forest's wedding and shows his metal legs. He says "Theyre titanium alloy, the same stuff they use on the space shuttle"

[@karlsmith2570]

The role that Gary Sinise played in Apollo 13 was Ken Mattingly

[@WolfofIron]

That line was used because Lt. Dan said earlier in the film that the likelihood of Gump becoming a Shrimp Boat Captain was as likely as he (Dan) becoming an Astronaut, hence the literal space legs.

[@lucassmith1886]

Also, though I doubt it's related in any way, the author of the Forest Gump book was basically forced to write a sequel so they could make another financial behemoth like the first one. But since he didn't want to add to the story, he made the second book as ridiculous as possible, and one of the things Forrest does in that book is go to either space or the moon, can't remember exactly. Look up the book it is wild

[@WolfofIron]

@@lucassmith1886 Actually, it was in the first book that had him go space, the first book wasn't at all short on crazy things.

1:07:30 "Who's This Guy?" That's Jim Lovell's eldest son, Jay Lovell. In the scene prior to this one, the reporter had said that only jay wasn't at home with the rest of the Lovell family and that he was at school with his classmates

[@chrisvibz4753]

God bless them, brave souls.

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

It's not "controversial" at all. It's history, although dramatized. For the full story of the Apollo program, the miniseries "From The Earth to the Moon" is wonderful. Covers all six landings and also covers this mission from the perspective of the families on the ground.

[@mrwidget42]

Sorry fellas, there was no CGI in this movie. It was all either practical or optical effects, including all the compositing of the "technical" scenes.

[@lajoswinkler]

There was some. Scenes with the launch and staging.

[@angelagraves865]

Even more amazing when you realize they went to the moon with less computing power than we have in our pockets.

[@danwood4171]

The TV news talking about what was happening are the actual recorded new reports during Apollo missions. Apollo 11(the first landing) was broadcast live on TV and the old guy reporting it is Walter Cronkite and this was the actual recording of the TV broadcast.

[@marychristmas6989]

Ed harris also gives a great performance in the movie the abyss great actor

[@kkuro7054]

Ed Harris is almost always worth watching. Maybe I wouldn't go so far as to say 'everything with Ed Harris in it is worth watching', but I'd consider it...

[@okccuster]

Yes, broadcast live on TV from the surface of the moon :)

[@Thrashaero]

same tech as video transmitters on drones just much higher power.

[@kkuro7054]

Large TVs in those days were placed low to the floor because they were extremely heavy. A piece of furniture to hold it up higher would have to be super strong and heavy itself -- and you wouldn't want a ~50-100kg television set falling over in your living room.

[@patstokes7040]

I remember when this happened. It was truly a miracle. Back then we did so pretty amazing things. Those days are gone, never to return.

[@coot1925]

I was 7 years old when Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. I remember watching it live on TV as if it was yesterday. I think the whole world held it's breath as the Luna lander touched down on the surface of the moon. Without brave people, great scientists & engineers pushing the boundaries western civilization would not have moved forward & we wouldn't have Mobile phones & communications like the ones we're using right now. Satellites need rockets to put them in space.

[@marychristmas6989]

This is a classic 👌

[@angelzeyez]

Omg, soooo exciting, seen it many times but because it's true it's a very intriguing every time . This is not CGI with the food, they are filming on a plane that is able to go up do zero G Maneuvers for the movie. Cool, eh?!

[@LoriLynch-bt8tj]

That plane has been nick-named "the vomit comet"! For a very obvious reason. LOL

[@danielp3289]

I love how you make it clear from the beginning you wouldn't go at all (and neither would I!) and then while reacting to things like the crew change that you mention you wouldn't go... we got that!

[@ninjabearpress2574]

The Apollo 11 broadcast from the moon was live, back in 1969. To you boys it's a movie but to me it's history. You couldn't pull me away from the TV when there was a mission in progress, but everyone in America watched, hoped and prayed during this one.

[@eboarderextreme4000]

[@chiasanzes9770]

Actually the back up pilot Jack Swigert he was an exellent and highly exeperienced pilot. What happen space was not his fault. Also Jack Swigert flew them back. The landing on ocean too 7 minutes by the way and not four minutes like has been said in this movie.

They never made it to the moon, but afaik they were the first to survive a catastrophe in outer space and safely return. Making it to Earth is much more important that making it to the moon

[@RyanTravis23]

Firstly, great reaction as always, guys. I haven't seen this movie in years, so it was fun. It's crazy what those early astronauts and engineers were able to accomplish. The ingenuity and bravery were amazing. I just want to say some elderly people reach a point where family can't care for them, and a facility is the only place they can go. Some people don't have any help when they're caregiving for an elderly parent. My mom required 24/7 care I could no longer provide. Just mentioning this that not all elderly are in facilities because they're neglected by family. Anyway, love you guys!

[@HABIBIBROTHERS717]

love you too

[@robertcampomizzi7988]

"Are ypu boys in the space program too?" I think she needed more help than just being elderly. Not knowing who those guys are in America at that time isn't the sign of a healthy young mind.

[@TerminalFailSafe]

I was a kid during the Apollo program and I watched every single launch that was televised. I remember the moment when Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon like it was yesterday! The entire world was holding their breath and for the first time in human history, mankind became one. Until humans step foot on Mars, there will never be another time like that. As far as the television transmission, the delay for the signal is ~2.6 seconds with the average distance being ~238,855 miles (~384,400 km). As for HIV AIDS in your own country - there are a reported 6,700 children and infants living with the disease process with a likelihood of hundreds to thousands of undiagnosed cases. The adult infections are extremely underreported because of fear and prejudice. I worked 32 years in emergency medicine and 12 years in infectious disease and I never found a single case to be humorous and not one of my patients or my patient’s family found it funny when I told them they or their children was infected. I plan to continue to watch your channel because I don’t think you were intentionally trying to be malicious.

[@shilohauraable]

It's amazing that so many people don't know the history of the space race! Are they teaching ANYTHING in school today? I watched it grow from Sputnik as a young girl to the 1st moon landing when I was 16, to this situation & beyond. When I started teaching elementary school in the middle of it all the kids just thought we'd always been in space. By the time I quit teaching moon landings had stopped & the kids thought I was making it all up! 😅 It started all of our current satellite technology, space station & massive space telescopes. Believe it or not, it was all accomplished with computers less powerful than the average smart phone today! That's why they were having to do all the math & stuff on paper or boards. You had to KNOW your math back then - no computers or pocket calculators. It was an amazing time in history to live through! ❤

[@ScottPerkinsLCMT]

I watched the space shuttle take off...the heat the roar the vibration even a mile away was amazing.

[@lynnrogers9236]

I remember that day. My Mother cried and my Dad danced. Teamwork makes the dream work.

[@AO-po8kc]

Yes people back then were honest simple and gullible

[@iKvetch558]

Fun fact "consolation prize"...since they did not go into orbit around the Moon on their free return trajectory, Apollo 13 traveled a bit further away from Earth than all of the other flights to the Moon. So to this day, Lovell, Haise, and Swigert hold the record for the farthest distance from Earth people have ever traveled. Also., a terrific quote I encountered recently has to do with Apollo 13..."NASA is absolutely not superstitious, but you can bet they will never launch anything numbered "13" ever again." Not sure if that is a real quote...but it does not seem that NASA has sent anything into space with the number 13 on it ever since, though commercial satellite companies have. And, in case you were wondering...the number one reason why people have not returned to the moon to live/work/build a base there is the dust. You can 100 percent look up the harmful effects of lunar dust...but it is a serious issue that NASA and others have been working to address for many years. The dust is invasive and corrosive and it sticks to everything...which is a major issue when it darkens the surfaces that you need to be reflective, and all of a sudden you are absorbing a ton of heat from the sun instead of reflecting it. And that is not even to mention all the health issues of breathing in the dust...so figuring out how to deal with it has been a huge impediment to returning to the moon.

[@jamesswainston826]

Fantastic reaction guys. Fun fact: the Navy officer in white who shook Tom Hanks hand on the ship after he got out of the helicopter was the real Jim Lovell. The astronaut who Hanks was portraying in the movie.

[@hettbeans]

When they docked with the Lunar Module, it WAS the same thing they'd just detached from. It had previously been underneath their spacecraft. They detached, flipped their spacecraft around, and then docked with it.

[@philmullineaux5405]

The preacher is the director's dad and bald guy with glasses is his brother...he puts them in a bunch of his movies! The heat shield was a super advanced piece of technology. It was made like a bee's honeycombs, and the mixture was originally mixed and poured by hand😮😮😮😮. 10,000 degrees on one side and room temperature on the other!!!

[@bryant0smith]

Great reaction! Jim Lovell is still alive according to wikipedia. He''s 96. Also, for your own edification, try to find a video on how the Apollo rocket works. It is a Saturn V rocket. Everything you saw in space came up in that rocket. So the scene where you assumed was already up there came up in the rocket. Also, 6 missions successfully landed on the moon (12 astronauts total).

[@bryant0smith]

Forgot to mention... If Apollo 13 was successful, one of them (I believe Jack Swigert) would have stayed in orbit around the moon while the other would have landed on the moon. Which is why the number is 12, not 18 that have actually landed on the moon.

[@philmullineaux5405]

Silver haired guy on boat is Jim Lovell! In Forrest Gump, Dan tells Forrest the day u become a shrimp boat captain, I'll be an astronaut! So then his legs are made of space shuttle material, and then they do this movie!

[@silikon2]

The movie simplifies things a bit but is pretty accurate. It ramped up the drama of the astronauts in the ship- they had one minor blow up but nothing like what’s depicted here. The insane thing is they had no idea their plight had become a world consuming drama. Even the sailors on their recovery ship didn’t know about this because at the time they had very limited communication to the world outside their ship.

[@lifeandfaith]

When I was a child, we were on vacation in Florida, I got to see one of those rockets go up. The thing I remember is that it just kept going. There is a certain distance that your eye is used to seeing. And when an object passes that distance and just keeps going, it's a little disorienting.

[@anitaaviles7203]

Before there were hand-held calculators, there were slide rules. I remember getting my first calculator in 1975 when I was in high school. It was very expensive. We were not allowed to use a calculator when taking tests.

[@rhiahlMT]

They had virtually no computer power back then. All the math had to be done on brain power. What you saw when they were checking Lovell's math with were slide rulers used by engineers, I think. I've never been a math type. They did make some product errors in this, not many though.

Most people will pass out at 3-5 Gs. Experienced pilots at 7-9 Ga. At 12 Gs, u would have already passed out and then the gravity force would proly collapse ur bones and organs so u would already be passed out, u wouldn't feel it.

Early space travel was so dangerous. Check out the movie “First Man” if you want to see another great movie about the first people to walk on the moon.

[@janzizka9963]

The filmmakers achieved the effect of astronauts and objects floating in zero gravity using a clever combination of techniques (hidden wires and other trickery), but the most groundbreaking was filming aboard NASA's KC-135 aircraft, also known as the "Vomit Comet." Such airplanes can be used to simulate Zero-G in their descent.

Thing in the movie that is not true is the fight between the three astronauts in the LEM.

[@johnnehrich9601]

Would love to see you react to Hidden Figures, which is based on real events at the beginning of the space race (although things had to be juggled to make a coherent story line). No matter how many times I watch that, I tear up at all the happy tender moments through that film.

[@brandonbanks4394]

[@aptech2933]

If you want to know how they did the antigravity effects google Vomit comet. They actually built a set in one of them.

[@w9gb]

Four (4) times. James Lovell was in that many missions (1965-1970). Gemini 7: Gemini 12; Apollo 8; and Apollo 13.

[@Staffros]

No one with much of a brain thinks this the moon missions were fake.

[@cathyvickers9063]

The launch facility is in Florida which is surrounded on 3 sides by water in case of an abort. Mission Command is in Houston, Texas; & there's a monitoring station in Hawaii. The spaceship orbits the Earth before heading to the Moon. Multiple stages are necessary to break Earth's gravity. The lunar lander was protected in another stage. The tiny triangle at the top is where the astronauts are. It orbits the Moon with one astronaut while the other two descend to the Moon in the lander. Because Lunar gravity is so much less than Earth's, it needs only one stage (section with the legs) to leave behind as it ascends to the orbiter.

[@thomasnelson6161]

You can see the rockets they launch out of Central Florida from my house. It's actually pretty wicked. Looks like a comet.

[@adig6839]

You should watch The right stuff and Hidden figures

[@johnnehrich9601]

Something like 400,000 people worked on the space program - obviously not all in the control room. I assume it means the people who also worked in the private industry that made a lot of the stuff, too.

[@lastword8783]

You guys should watch “first man” movie about neal armstrong and the first manned mission to the surface of moon. I really liked it.

[@CaseyQ]

Should watch Rocketman with Harland Willams now lol

[@bunbun3000]

To film some of the weightlessness scenes they utilized NASA's "vomit comet," an aircraft with a large interior, which flew to a significant height & would descend at the same rate as free-fall - thus achieving weightlessness for a short period of time. The scenes were not CGI.

[@AlBGood]

Watch the man wearing the white military hat, that’s Jim Lovell. One of the real astronauts.

[@AlBGood]

He shakes Tom Hanks hand at the end of the movie.

[@thomasnelson6161]

They use both a giant pool and a large jetliner to simulate zero-gravity. I'm pretty sure the pool has the largest capacity of any pool.

[@superfluous85]

theirs no such thing as a "no gravity" room. they have a pool that simulates "floating" in space...but what they do for zero gravity is actually flying in a plane. the plane does a dive, and you have about 3 minitues of weightlessness or "zero gravity" before it has to turn up again for another 3 min of "zero gravity". People get can get sick on the flights, but that's how they make the movies. :D

[@arifeannor9573]

27:30 That is the same thing they detached from, they had to detach, do a 180 to attach it to the proper end of the ship. That was the way they did it, you can assume they had their reasons no matter how illogical it seems. Aside from it being able to come apart and have one land on the moon, there is safety and abort reasons. Less things attached to the main cabin so they could be the right size and shape to re enter or land on earth. If they were solid that shape with both cabins already together, it would probably be less safe.

Ah, I've never caught the names of you two brothers, but the brother with the red keffiyeh is right! They detatched, turned around, and docked with the Landing Module or LEM. When Launching the Rocket, because the LEM is fragile, it's kept in a storage space beneath the command module :)

Oh, another clarification there are nursing homes, hospice care, assisted living, and senior apartments. His mother appears to be in an assisted living facility. They’re like a regular apartment, but have nurses, doctors, and sssistants on staff to help residents. They’re not (or weren’t back then) like nursing homes. And at the time they were popular among the elderly, because they wanted to maintain a sense of independence. The U.S. has this weird “individuality” obsession that leads to this kind of stuff

I see there is no comments about the fact the real captain Jim Lovell is in this movie too. He is the old man in Navy uniform shaking hand with Tom Hanks on the deck of the ship end of this movie . Is he still alive? Yes he is.
