When We Left Earth OST - Full Album - Richard Blair-Oliphant

[@thebravesirrobin.]

One of the best soundtracks for one of the most under-appreciated documentaries to ever air.

[@ponetown]

TheTaleOfSirRobin agreed. What they did cover was incredibly condensed. I read Gene Kranz's book and they had enough material to make the series 5x longer if the needed to

[@rubensandnes2858]

Agreed! I don't know how many times I have seen this.

[@CrazyHeliDude]

+TheBraveSirRobin How very, very true.

[@maxpower19711]

They'll need to make a sequel in the 2030s.

[@falafeldurum2095]

@@maxpower19711 Yeah, true But there is no documentary series which I know that really talks about EVERYTHING - What about Delta II, Delta IV, Atlas V etc.? What about Buran und the first unmanned landing on the moon and all the other Soviet stuff? Soyuz? The documentary is a bit ... boring... I wish they were talking about more technical details..

[@timburns7491]

This is one of the greatest documentaries ever with one of the greatest sound tracks. From the mouths of the Legends of NASA. So well done. A sound track has never fit a show so well as this.

Full album, stitched together, it doesn't matter. Many thanks for uploading this. I've been searching for this music for ages. I didn't think of looking on You Tube for it and then converting it.

[@murdelabop]

Outstanding! Oliphant did a great job composing this score, and you did a masterful job editing it together. Well done!

[@CrazyHeliDude]

I agree about Oliphant, and thank you. I'm glad to know people are enjoying it.

[@GadgetActivated]

I watched this DVD documentary when I was somewhere aged at ten. This gave me nostalgia and the chills it never failed to give.

[@briancarothers]

I get very emotional every time I hear this music...It's VERY uplifting and inspiring. Thanks for posting it.

We may not be the people we once were. We are weaker. We are tired. We are apathetic. But we still dream, we still look up at night. We will go there again soon. We will forever throw off the shackles of this planet and sail amongst the stars. It is America's destiny, it is man kind's destiny.

[@oldfrend]

or to put it another way, Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho' We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

[@apempathy]

Sir/Ma'am, I come to you from the year 2020. America is back in space and better than ever. We are on the path to landing humans back on the Moon, and eventually, on Mars. We did it. We're going back.

"In 1969, a group of astronauts changed the world. They ride the biggest rocket ever built to the Moon. Its the culmination of more than 10 years of space pioneering and a foundation for more than 4 decades of exploring worlds beyond their own. This is the story of their greatest adventure."

Welcome :)

[@airplanegam3001]

CrazyHeliDude, thank you for uploading this compilation of music from this series. I listen to this all the time such as it is and dream of the day that Richard Blair-Oliphant will release the music. It really is great to listen to and stirs up something in me from the days of the Apollo missions. Yes, I was alive back then and remember watching the moon landing. Touching moment to be a member of the human race. This music brings back that feeling. Thank you kindly for posting it.

[@CrazyHeliDude]

+6Eighty6 Man Thank you for your very well-worded and well-put comment. I agree 100% and feel exactly the same. My wish is for more ..millions.. to feel exactly the same as us about such things. My best to you, sir.

[@airplanegam3001]

You are welcome my friend. I very often watch the "When we left Earth" series and dream of the day that this World will make a return trip back to the Moon, and possibly more. It's been too long. Right now, this Nation has no clear direction on anything regarding Space Exploration, if you want to know how I feel about it. We are relying on the Russians and private companies for Orbital flights. It's sickening really.

[@_Andrew2002]

Maybe construct it in space. Works with me, I built an interplanetary ship in space and took landers along with it. Takes time but using Space Shuttles really brings down the cost.

[@equilibrium3736]

MEEEE

[@andriesu7211]

Fuck yeah!

[@JYF921]

Ah YES

[@CrazyHeliDude]

It's 3:00am in the morning. Listening to this, I'm so depressed. Where have all our heroes gone? Who do we have to look up to? What, our corrupt, stinking politicians in Washington? Our drug addicted "movie stars?" Where are the men who would give their lives to accomplish a goal ... do the impossible, for what they believed in. Our heroes are gone.

[@mattwestuk1]

We were #1 in space technology. We had the shuttle, the finest space vessel invented. Now what do we have? We have to rely on Russia to put our people in space, and given the recent events in the Ukraine, I'm not sure that's a good thing.

[@MrSmithSAH]

mattwestuk1 Actually... the Shuttle wasn't so great, Saturn V could carry more cargo for a cheaper cost and also could technically go all the way to Mars with it's fuel supply (If you don't account for electricity and food), but with SpaceX taking NASA's place when it comes to next-gen rocketry, we'll be the tip of the spear in a few years

[@mattwestuk1]

***** This is true - the Saturn V is by far the most powerful machine man has built and was a beautiful machine. However, to me, the fact that the shuttle could not only deploy a payload but also recapture it was impressive. Also, the shuttle is still the only re-usable space craft in existence. All of the American space vehicles had their own merits, I was just stating that to me, the shuttle was extremely elegant.

[@pridakfan253]

And sadly there are people who think the amazing people who went to the moon didn't go there at all and that the entire Apollo program was all one big lie. Hell I've seen a few who think the International Space Station and even the rovers on Mars are a hoax as well, seems they want to take away what little glory NASA has left.

[@MrSmithSAH]

those people irritate me the most, they say it was all fake, but with a strong telescope, we can *SEE the landing modules the Apollo landers used still on the moon, same people who think the illuminati runs the world and Al Qaeda is a US government run group

[@salland12]

7:41 the legacy of Apollo is when a group of people sees a challenge, human beings can accept a challenge and chart a course and do just remarkable things. Buzz Aldrin

[@CrazyHeliDude]

Recall that this was the "get it done" generation of men. They didn't whine and complain about how it couldn't be done, like we do today. They saw a challenge, decided to overcome it, and just did it, no matter what it took. I'm fortunate. I'm fortunate because even though I'm more part of the "newer" (and doubtful) generation, I know the feeling of what these men had. And whenever I've set my mind to absolutely accomplishing a goal, come hell or high water, I've always managed to accomplish it. When many men get together in agreement on a single goal, there's nothing they can't do. This fact is confirmed and illustrated even in ancient texts.

[@petersmythe2916]

This is not a "full album" rather all the excerpts Mr Oliphant provided on his site nicely stitched together. I wish the author would put up a soundtrack for sale already, as this is some of the most moving "space" music I've ever heard. Want the Heroes track to be the soundtrack of my life... it's either that or the Pacific Rim theme: )

I know another realistic spaceflight simulator,called "Orbiter". Made by Dr Martin Schweiger,it's as realistic as KSP,and completely free,without any registration. I know i make some advertisment,but it as worth as your KSP. And i would like to use also use this music for my spaceflight simulation sessions in Orbiter.

[@dright928]

@@_Andrew2002 Can we all be honest here that if we actually do go to Mars it'd be amazing. I'm not sure if either of you are of aware of NASA's budget and how many times it has had to switch gears because some president decided "Oh we need to do this instead" They never increase the budget and they never not change the plan. NASA can't get anything done unless it is in full swing for Mars exploration. Once the first man has gone, it can't be stopped. But good luck getting the first man there, because the chances of the next president saying we should do this and change the entire program is very likely. We need one president who can get NASA to stop fucking around and push forward. Enough delays enough changes of plan. Give them the damn funding. They have the willpower but they need the money.

[@donut5818]

Any leap forward is a leap forward no matter who we are riding with. Just a few weeks ago, SpaceX delivered astronauts to the ISS. Opening the door to the privatization of space and leaps and bounds of progress to be made. The future is bright my friends, despite our current circumstances. It will only be a matter of time now before mankind explores new horizons to fulfill our destiny to become an interplanetary species.

[@Pekingesejedi]

I have no need to listen to this album.Why? because every single note is a RIP OFF of Steve Jablonsky's score to Transformers.Every time I watch this series I keep expecting Optimus Prime to show saying that Moon race was spurred on by the Autobots or something. and lets be honest,even Jablonsky ripped his work off of his Master....Hans Zimmer.

[@CrazyHeliDude]

What do you think about some of the tracks to the score for the movie 'Oblivion,' by M83/Anthony Gonzalez/Joseph Trapanese? Personally I think Zimmer met his match in light of some of the arrangements. Specifically, "I'm Sending You Away." Personal Opinion.

[@Pekingesejedi]

***** Hello again...different forum.I cant say I've ever hear "Oblivion" because I'm not a Tom Cruise fan anymore.But Not that I think Zimmer is ALL there is.He's trained a great deal of other talented up and comers like Harry Gregson Williams,Ramin Djawadi,John Powell to name a few.

[@CrazyHeliDude]

Pekingesejedi Yeah Cruise isn't really "playing with a full deck" anymore. Still, loved the movie and thought the writing and plot was pretty good. That "I'm Sending You Away" track just gets me for some reason. I love a lot of Zimmer's stuff ... big fan of his. And all his proteges seem to do great on their first time out. Klaus Badelt and the new version of 'The Time Machine,' etc. - Probably my favorites, 'Crimson Tide' first and perhaps 'Inception' second. But I will also have to acknowledge that John Williams was the master of masters, in my opinion. had almost all his soundtracks as a kid, from the 70s and early 80s. The flutters, the complexity of the intermingling of instruments in unexpected ways. I don't think he has any equal to this day.
