Apollo 13 Press Conference (1970)

[@tarful58]

Those Mission control guys are heroes in my book.

[@veteranhelpingveterans2113]

I could listen to gene talk all day about space

[@krissteelman1074]

We need more people like this men these days, especially in times of difficulty. These are wonderful, no-nonsense men who genuinely cared about their co-workers and were willing to work tirelessly to solve every problem they faced. There was little arguing or egos involved. They knew what needed to be done and they worked together to make it happen.

[@SynchronizorVideos]

As an engineer whose job it is to solve problems, sometimes in advance, sometimes very much under the gun - there are plenty of men and women like this today keeping things running.

[@gives_bad_advice]

@@SynchronizorVideos - yes. If there weren't, our comfortable lives wouldn't last long

[@hmbpnz]

This gives me goosebumps. Thank you very much for posting this.

[@proberts34]

Flight Directors are super awesome and Gene Krantz became a legend among Flight Directors during Apollo 13.

[@jpsned]

It's amazing that these guys were able to take time away from their mission duties to be in a press conference in real time.

[@scotthix2926]

That is why they had 3 or 4 teams for round the clock operations.

[@smacdiesel]

Deke lighting up that long thin cigar was awesome. Can you imagine something like that happening today?

[@lilcookie8778]

This is so 70's... dude smoking a cigarette at the press conference!

[@artcheezz1]

lilcookie8778 Yes, it is part of brainwashing mate, what you expect. If you smoke, you think it is your own choice? I mean pure and unaffected choice? Lol, have a look ANY Hollywood movie, you will find it everywhere, well i would exclude NASA hoax thing, but see they was doing the same now. Strange they didn't had a bottle of whiskey on a table. Actually you can make a list: Cigarettes Alcohol Coffee (never ever ever tea) Meat as a main energy source Never eating fruits or vegetables, or just throwing them away. Bleached sugar and salt + flour products Any combination of flour and sugar, salt - cakes, bread, etc... Pills, drugs. Appeal to authority episodes (Police image, doctor, suit-man, etc..etc..) Education - is good episodes Army - is good episodes Cancer is deadly episodes. Evolution inputs to brainwash you Globe earth spinning episodes - to brainwash you Divorces - is good, and traditional family destruction episodes Forgot big one: Homosexuality propaganda I could go forever, but all i say, what ever movie, news, or official shit you watch, its intention to BRAINWASH YOU. Even if it is some Nature or History channel. So make a tick every time you see anything from this list, than you will know what brainwashing is. Because REPETITION IS A KEY, in effective brainwashing. Some info to begin with, if you want to know, that you were brainwashed :) But there is good side to it = Whole world has been BRAINWASHED in a same way, so you have same minded people - yes they have watch tv too! :) INFO: 1. The key to truly effective brainwashing is to work at people’s most fundamental awareness. Shape them at the neurological level so they develop the faculties to take your input and call it “thinking for myself.” Enable them to stop thinking. 2. Limit any and all faculties for self-awareness and self-sensing. Destroy instinct and intuition. Actively and endlessly encourage external awareness. Make people dependent on your external input for as many decisions as possible. 3. Speed up messages so that the pace and rhythm of information is disorienting and visually biased. 4. Condition people to being bombarded with hundreds of thousands of signals a day. Teach them to attend to this stream of information and to call it Reality. Never let them ask what “reality” is. 5. Framing is everything. Decide what you want people to believe and make sure that any choices you give them are within a framework which assures you of your result. This is called the Illusion of Choice. “Do you want to sweep the floor before or after dinner?” Repeat this formula for economic systems, politicians, news stories, competing product brands and entertainment. 6. Appeal to the lowest common denominator. Make sure that all shows model conflict resolution of people with an emotional and intellectual maturity no greater than that of a six year old. Make it funny so no one notices. 7. Keep people passive. Encourage the Couch Potato Alpha Wave Escape Plan as the healing elixir for all that ails. 8. Don’t make people think. Their days are hard enough as is. Bypass the need for opinion making by giving people ready-made opinions. Do it as though you don’t have a conscience - they are probably too stupid to make their own decisions anyway. 9. Ensure that there are no ongoing storylines with meaning or purpose beyond immediate sensory stimulation. Avoid universal themes as much as possible. Make absolutely certain there is no cultural, societal or global story or mythology present that conflicts with the myths of comfort and consumption. 10. Never encourage responsibility, or so much as suggest that humans could be involved in co-creating their future and the realities in which they reside. 11. Encourage group-sanctioned individuality only. By making ‘individuality” the new conformity you are generating a powerful illusion of free choice. 12. Sensationalize the superficial. 13. Keep information bytes infinitesimally small. Promote Attention Deficit Disorder. Several decades of television have already set this in motion. 14. Repetition is key. Repeat important messages as often as possible. 15. Repetition is key. 16. Repetition is key. 17. Bypass rationality by any means possible. People don’t need logic to accept information. Belief is emotional. Always remember: WAR=PEACE. 18. Remember -- two half-truths make up a whole truth. 19. Demonize self-knowledge technology of all kinds. Throw around words like “cult” and “brainwashing.” Marginalize anyone involved in such pursuits. 20. Keep old models of consciousness alive and well. If you can get away with referring to people’s states as being phlegmatic or sanguine instead of programmable and intentional, do it. 21. Keep people’s attention on what really matters. Emphasize what’s wrong as much as possible. 22. Always give the impression that Everything Is Under Control - but just barely so - hammer into the populace the idea that their greatest fear could strike at any moment. 23. Teach people that they are their thoughts and emotions. Reinforce this by teaching them to feel bad about their ideas, and to feel bad about feeling bad. Remember: Identify, identify, identify -- this will widen the empty void inside of them that only shopping can cure.

[@markpierce5811]

+PartOfYou Here's a question (well, two): What the fuck are you blathering about? And who the hell gives a shit what you have to say?

[@artcheezz1]

Mark Pierce My answer is your question.

[@markpierce5811]

PartOfYou Wow. Pure genius. Quite expected..

[@artcheezz1]

Mark Pierce Just don't want to override you.

[@TimothyOBrien1958]

It's amazing with all the smoking Krantz did that he's still alive.

[@proberts34]

Deke Slayton was a fantastic Director of Flight Crew Operations!

[@gonzo_the_great1675]

These guys really do look dog tired. We know it was a good outcome, these guys were up against it.

[@NukeStuff1]

Gene Krantz truly a pioneer. Those days Gene Krantz inspired group of men to be “tough and competent”. This was the guiding principle that made the numerous early space exploration just a DREAM JOB. He trusted them and let them know that they will all leave Mission Control” as a team. This trust for the rest of the team enabled those men to give the very best of themselves. These days most people ask - what is it FOR ME! I admire you Mr Kranz. Thank you

[@CULVER729]

this guy's a REAL MAN ..

[@B1900pilot]

When the press was civil and respectful

[@andyblue99]

This is simply AWESOME.

[@vladvostok1723]

FANTASTIC THAT THIS 50-YEAR OLD FOOTAGE IS AVAILABLE FOR US IN THE YOUNGER GENERATION TO VIEW & LEARN FROM. THANKS TO THE FOLKS AT NASA & KZbin.

[@tarful58]

These guys are HEROES

[@DarkLight753]

@Ryan Scarborough Tell Bart Sibrel that Buzz wants to punch his lights out again, lol. He'd do it to. Buzz is more of a man than Sibrel the taxi driver.

[@ct92404]

@Ryan Scarborough Oh STFU, schizophrenic conspiracy theorist. Go shove your tin foil hat up your ass.

[@sblack48]

You wonder what proportion of his presentation was understood by any of the journalists. Opening up the deadbands, state vectors, platform alignment, delta V components.... You can see this guy was carrying the weight of the whole thing on his shoulders. He had nothing to do with the explosion but if those guys died he was going to be held responsible, or at least he would have held himself responsible. I was 9. But I knew what TLI was even then. I missed a couple of the acronyms he used here. His book is the the best one of the era I think. It is a great balance of technical and personal. A lot of it is about the people. If you are interested in this stuff I highly recommend it. Failure is Not An Option.

[@shaun1432]

Thank you all for the positivity. You’re making the world a better place!

[@WaffleVFX]

Awesome!

[@gregv79]

Krantz was born for this job, as was his predecessor. Lovell is America's astronaut. The capsule is on display somewhere...I have a recent picture of Jim looking it over.

[@flynmid]

Why dislike this?

[@wrightmf]

Interesting. Lots of details by Kranz, and the Li-hydroxide kit described by England. I'm still at 19 minutes and watching. Also noticable ashtrays.

[@hobbitassassin1]

Heroes! Will be forever remembered in the history books. Unsung heroes the black team too! Glynn Lunney and his team. A higher level of people :)

[@666zerowolf]

the corrections were made with the lem...wonder if they had the fuel necessary to do this?

[@DennisAlexander-h5z]

Lewis Clark and George Lewis Clark. An explanation.

[@benhinshaw8679]

Couldn't you imagine if CNN was around back then? The questions you get would be similar to the moon hoax nut cases.

[@wildboar7473]

Look miserable to me, so little on these heroes, #12 has no Conferences. They sure love tucktape :)

[@666zerowolf]

deke slayton...what a stark realist!....great briefing...CREDIBILITY!

[@RevolverAnthology]

after watching these "events" I always feel so happy, because the Astros and ground crew are so damned cheerful and reflect the joy of landing safely and being part of history ! ......sarcasm volume on ELEVEN

[@wildboar7473]

and rare are they, like #11 was the best that could come out. Way later they turned happy.

[@elik.webber7630]

Amazing all the people who believe that the space race was a hoax , but none of them say anything about the U.S.S.R space program which at the time was kept secret by them .what the people are saying is that the U.S.S.R. was in on the hoax , and during the cold war .

[@5Andysalive]

I always wondered that. While it would be virtually impossible for Nasa to hide something, because of how it's organised, it would have been super easy for the russians. You can triangulate where a signal comes from (Near earth space, deep space or Nevada desert) . When you know when it's coming. Like in a 150hr live public apollo mission with almost constant transmissions. While if you only learn about an even afterwards like the successful russian ones, you can't anymore.

[@sol303]

It’s not as hard as you would think the governments of the world through nationalism people in the government whole existence relies on lies to stay in power

[@gmnboss]

The Russians have their telemetry data and all the technology NASA lost and "destroyed" theirs

[@themorgan9805]

Eli K. Webber the ussr didnt get to the moon did they, cos you cant. Fool!

[@DarkLight753]

NASA still have all the telemetry data and they are free to view at any time. The point is you wouldn't understand them or wouldn't want to believe the data because it means your useless little crusade would be shattered. They also still have the tech. What they don't have is the money to go to the Moon. All your arguments are pointless, null and void. But please answer back with more bullshit you may have. The Van Allen belt for example....that's a big 'point' for all you hoaxies isn't it?

[@5Andysalive]

The guy at 43:00 REALLY was looking foi soem drama. MAybe he wanted to make a ludicrously exaggerated Hollywood movie out of it.

They hated press conferences - so did the astronauts. When you have to deal with ignorant reporters what else can you say. it's 10x worse today when all the press want to do is get one juicy soundbite.

vasanthmuthu the media hypes things up beyond the real situation.

[@5Andysalive]

that's prove right there. The faces in a press conference after an prob 10hr hour long shift involving heavy brain usage (look it up, troll). And hours of constant communication with the space craft, Doesn't matter that the whole "logic" behind the fake theory doesn't work out. If you think straight about it's practicality for half a minute you find it would be easier to just fly to the moon. But yes, the faces say it all.... Scary insight into the psychology of conspiracy terrorists.

It's so easy to go back to the moon, Nasa has not been back since 1972 with technology that was far cheaper and yet they have not been back since. right.

[@johngibsonmusic]
