Apollo 17 - EVA 1 Core

[@cmomofilm]

Be that as it may, Buzz Aldrin is a very old man who seems to be in quite good health!

They weren't in Zero Gravity on the moon. They were in a gravity field just like the earth - only 1/6 as strong due to the moon's lower mass. The footage from the moon is not "terrible" but it does reflect that state of TV technology in the late 1960/early 1970s. The footage from the last three missions was pretty good in my view - although it would be fantastic to think how good modern TV cameras and digital technology would portray the scene.

@Ca1861 Same here,back then I thought it was only a temp thing for bigger and better things.I knew they still had 3 Saturn 5 intact ready to go.So I didn't think they would be wasted.I found out some years ago there was even a second series of Saturn 5's on order.I presume the original plan was to have at least a dozen more missions.Imagine how far we would have been if the program wasn't cancelled like it was mankinds greatest high point.

[@philkarn]

The pressure suit and PLSS mass was about 82kg, as much as the astronaut. Add the suit stiffness under pressure and I'm not surprised they didn't jump higher. But Neil Armstrong did a squat jump up several rungs of the LM ladder at the end of the EVA. The mass of the backpacks was demonstrated by the forward angle at which they stood to balance.

[@slackologist]

A great deal of preparation and experiment went into getting to the moon.. it's all there, the Mercury & Gemini programs and then Apollo. It wasn't all perfect all the time, but eventually they worked it out and did it. I just wish NASA had the budget it needed to go back. It'd be nice if we didn't need to spend so much on defence and that money could mostly go to NASA instead. Can you imagine?

[@cavy999999]

There are no stars in the sky, but that is an exposure thing. It's pretty easy to take a picture and show a sky with no lights, just uses a super bright light source.

[@talondrivert38]

Great video! Would like to be able to see all of the EVA's from the moon.

[@jazzclarinet2006]

@LightninLew Television cameras back then were not very compact, something needed for the Apollo missions. A small camera was specially designed for the missions but with technology of the day it had to take a hit in terms of image quality. However, the individual photographs taken by the astronaunts on their 70mm Hasselblads are typically well exposed...and there is your nerd moment of the day!

[@abuwadie3]

something i never understood, is if they are in 0 gravity why dont they just float off the moon? is there some gravity on the moon that stops that from happening?

[@Saoirsesfather]

Thanks for the reply.

[@philkarn]

It's not a cable, it's a VHF blade antenna much like a metal tape measure. We hams actually use tape measure blades on many of our satellites; they make excellent deployable antennas. How else did they communicate? They're in a vacuum, ya know.

[@osallent]

We need more than 3 people for a moon landing. In order to design the Saturn V and the LEM and everything else that needed to be built, over 400,000 people worked hard for more than 7 years. Now that NASA is building Orion and Artemis to return man to the moon, tens of thousands of men and women are working hard to design and build the machines. It takes thousands of people to put 3 people on the moon. The Apollo Astronauts did not get there all by themselves. Not to mention the tax money.

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

@admiralbob77 yup. :P you even see footsteps in the high resulution ok not single ones, but the trample paths so to speak. also the japanese probe reported match.

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

he answers every imaginable question since the LRO orbiter pictures we can see the astronaut traces on the moon, but even I :D didn't know that hubble can't see better details than e.g. a football field

[@Ultranothing]

I heard on NPR today in an interview that the astronauts are exposed to about 27,000 X-Rays worth of radiation.

[@Ravenflight104]

Going to the moon requires courage, character and resolve. Frankly, these qualities are quickly becoming scarce.

[@ROBLOXobama1337]

He's wither Cernan or Schmidtt. If it is Cernan, he would have red stripes to show that he is the commander, but I can't tell if there are stripes or not.

[@CallSignGhost]

It's difficult for the colour camras of the time to pick up low light levels. You can see the camra change light sensitivity in the video and in certan parts you can see the brightest stars.

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

@andy92811 It was really live.

[@AtticTapes14]

Surface looks wayyyyyy too detailed to be a studio stage or cgi

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

@LightninLew a conspiracy. I planned that longhanded so mine would peak out with such a galacto*bleeeep*great quality.yeah

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

I recommend you review its features. it cAn. ~*~

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

it's not zerograv, the moon got 1/6 of earth gravitional force - means a naked male athlet could high-jump about 8.20 meters (center of gravity in a 6ft body, about 1 m up so if your champ makes 2.20 m in sports, that is actually just hieving the center of gravity by 1.20 m )

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

while evans remained in orbit, schmitt collected most of the probes..

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

little hint yet: my user icon shows Kiel, where german subs are being built. btw with the help of my very own self also. :D there are NO nuclear german subs. period. - instead of relying at stoneage technology HDW focussed on perfecting fuel cell drives.

[@11AMERICANO11]

Do the Moonwalk!!!!!!

[@ingareinar007]

They spendt one week on the moon. I don`t know how much time outside the spacecraft though.

[@TheToxicPenguin]

On a dark night, i want you to go under a lamppost and look up at the night sky and see if you see any stars? i bet you wont, secondly they were on the light side of the moon meaning it generally will be harder to see stars and if you take a picture under the lamppost you will not capture any stars, even if they are there

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

@SpacewolfCZ ahoj ! but mooning does not count. :P

[@philkarn]

No, a 10m drop on the moon would give 5.72 m/sec. A 10m drop on the earth would give 14 m/sec. There'd be 6x as much potential energy 10m above the earth than the moon. Kinetic energy goes as velocity squared. (14/5.72) squared is 6. So a 10m drop on the moon would be like a 10/6 = 1.67m drop on the earth.

[@saigonpunkid]

the world is fed up with ppl thinking they're so smart.

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

I recommend to wait 10 years at least, by then the European VLT will have reached a solution sufficient to SEE the left under-carriages of the lunar moduls ~*~

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

@SpacewolfCZ yeah :P as erika is pronounced ježika in hungarian. and? eugene's anchestors were from slovakia.

[@Ravenflight104]

Gee whiz, SPAG, You must be right. Happy ?

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

the equipment weighs quite a few pounds also :P ~*~

[@eventcone]

@fowzie777 You won't find many answers to your questions on KZbin, but those answers are out there. You just have to make sure you use reputable sources of information. Those with a "conspiracy theory" driven agenda very rarely (if ever) come from a scientific/engineering background. That should immediately ring an alarm bell for you. Do you really think that relatively unqualified people are going to spot genuine "anomalies" in the Apollo data whilst countless scientists & engineers do not?

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

@TheHotelMoxa some people still wonder why usa leads only at sabotage, espionage and destruction yet ! while the consequences of homeschooling and similar child-abuse seem quite obvious.

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

when the eiropean VLT is complete (in ten years) it will have a resolution to spot the undercarriage of LEMs I think some photos of the first missions are faked, but can't believe that observatories on the whole world could be fooled with all the apollo communication ~*~

[@etch-a-life]

i think montain

[@acerkiwi]

if you look carefully the fine dust settles with out floating, like its in a vacuum. and look at the effects of gravity. Oh shit I think they are on the moon!!!

[@Hairysteed]

@andy92811 Okay now... okay now... I have two fingers

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

@maninhoux ninjas in white only in antarctica 0:)

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

no need to look. on the moon there are no clouds.

[@vigo894]

@lukequixotesanjose= They never will. They can't even move out of their mother's basement.

[@PowerOfMontage]

@andy92811 No. You're dreaming. . . ! WAKE UP! I'm just messing with you, it's all real. :)

[@ophello]

The radiation belts are small, and around the earth, not the moon. Get your facts straight,

[@11AMERICANO11]

Go land on Mars ffs..(2030 o' wtf!)..

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

keep busy applying to my blocklist, trolls. enjoy your silly troofer agony elsewhere now that we have already new photos even before lro reached its final orbit now leak off and knit another confpirafy variant - chinese zinoinists placed all that stuff later up there just to tease you :P I like the caravan path of a14 best just btw check nasa for lro-images of apollosites five of six is what they snapped already later series will have yet triple better resolution

[@lostlyricsequipoise]

facts do not depend on your "belief" I'm built '54 and I SAW them flying. a very insecure younger generation (neglected by parents,"educated" by TV feels incapable of such american greatness normally I'd remove your post as repetitive & lazy SPAM (gee are you original !) but I shall take the opportunity and refer tor phil plait (not everyone has a clue how photography works) answering real doubts as well turd by confpirafy troofer/hoakfer numbnutf :D google badastronomer
