Dasha probably got a bit emotional. But it shows exactly why American men and Russian women (and to a similar extent East Europe, Columbia, etc) are so near to perfect matches. Our spirits, intellect and temperament's are remarkably closely aligned. By contrast the American culture nurtures and encourages extreme, fraudulent behavior, cynicism, entitlement and toxic narcissism in our women---rendering dating all but obsolete. It's mostly a hit or miss, minefield of garbage rarely ending well.

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

Fun facts: Some people criticized the scene where Marilyn Lovell lost her ring in the shower for being overly dramatic. This actually did happen the night before the launch. Jack Swigert was an extremely competent CM pilot. Nobody had any doubt he would be able to dock the LEM. Even if he wouldn't have been able to, Jim Lovell had been a CM pilot on Apollo 8, he would've been able to take over so the mission was never in any danger. (Until the cryo-tank exploded that is). All three were consummate professionals. There was never any argument between them. The fight between Fred Haise and Jack Swigert was put in for dramatic purposes. Additionally, they had to perform the LEM burn twice, not just once. The orientation of the spacecraft would've been perpendicular to the trajectory so they would actually change their flight path. The way it was shown in the movie would've just sped up the spacecraft along its current trajectory. Lastly, the captain welcoming the crew aboard the naval vessel at the end was played by the real Jim Lovell. They wanted to make him an admiral in the scene, but he said, since he retired a captain, he would play a captain.

[@Caseytify]

Sounds like you covered everything. Good job. 👍

[@thomast8539]

Fun fact addendum: At least 1 out of every 3 of the deep space astronauts got sick on the Apollo flights. They surmised that the power of the Saturn V caused some of them to experience a much more harsh form of space sickness related to the inner ear equilibrium. Not fun.

[@thomast8539]

Fun fact addendum 2: Gene Kranz had already gone home when the explosion occurred. Plus, he was one of five Flight Directors that worked the Apollo 13 mission. The film simply made it easier for the audience to focus on one person rather than get wrapped up with five different managers.

[@Justin.Franks]

@@thomast8539 _"They surmised that the power of the Saturn V caused some of them to experience a much more harsh form of space sickness."_ The Apollo missions were actually considered a much easier ride compared to the earlier Mercury and Gemini missions by those who flew on both. Mercury and Gemini launches went well past the maximum g-forces endured on Apollo launches.

[@suflanker45]

@@Justin.Franks I don't know about that. In the When We Left Earth series when they interviewed Lovell, Borman and Anders about being the first men to be launched into space on a Saturn V rocket in Apollo 8 they all said the rocket shook so violently they all thought they were going to die. Lovell said he kept looking at Borman to see if his hand was on the abort handle and Borman said he would rather die than cause a false abort.

[@bokchow]

I watched this event on TV as a child and the drama was real. They were radio silent upon re-entry and long past the time we were supposed to hear from them again. Many of us thought they were lost.

27:56 A funny thing is that Tom Hanks' "Bouncing off the walls for ten minutes (and end up right back where we started)" line is almost exactly what the real Jim Lovell said in a documentary when he explained why the real crew was able to keep their cool and not have any emotional outbursts. The outburst scene was put in the movie for dramatic purposes, but it never actually happened. That also reminds me that one of the astronauts (can't remember which) said that the two things you never talk about in space are being scared and how bad it smells in the spacecraft.

So, the carrier ship in the movie, the U.S.S. Iwo Jima, was actually (in this movie) portrayed by the ship my father served aboard, the U.S.S. New Orleans. He was aboard when that ship ( the New Orleans) picked up Apollo 14.

[@bobcharles1204]

An interesting fact. At the end of the movie, when Tom Hanks salutes the Naval officer on the ship, that is actually astronaut Jim Lovell. After making this movie, Tom Hanks also made a mini-series for HBO called "From the Earth to the Moon" that covers the entire space program and trips to the moon. I highly recommend you watch that too.

Hey Dasha, don't discount your Russian comrades when it comes to the space race. The Soviet Union did some pioneering work in space flight and figuring out the scientific principles to get a man off the earth into space. Russians kicked our ass for a decade in the '50s all the way to the mid-'60s. Not until America committed the resources to get an American into space and then a man onto the moon. Without Russia nipping at our heels this may not have been possible.

@ 3:04 Hey Dasha, if you want more goosebumps you should watch the companion piece to Apollo 13 called "From The Earth To The Moon", a 12 part mini-series that was made a couple of years after this movie. It's about the Apollo missions mostly but has one Mercury and a couple of Gemini missions. And it's produced by Tom Hanks (who hosts each episode and stars in the last one), and produced by Ron Howard the Apollo 13 director. The series and Apollo 13 go very well together, however if you want another drama about the space race watch and do a reaction video of "The Right Stuff" (1983) a drama about breaking the sound barrier, the formation of NASA and the Mercury missions. The Right Stuff should be watched first because it ends where Earth To The Moon begins. @ 15:14 It was devastating to this 15 year old at the time! Actually, I couldn't find anyone who was bored watching the coverage. @ 40:26 The captain shaking Tom Hanks hand is the real Jim Lovell doing a cameo. Nice reaction, as always. ✌️😎

This movie presents the events of Apollo 13 just as they happened, as I remember them. I’m talking about the things we heard on the news broadcasts and read in newspapers. What happened behind the scenes I can’t say.

[@granadosvm]

I remember following the story in the news when I was a kid. The movie brought back a lot of memories about the incident, although in Mexico, where I lived at the time they probably didn't sound as worried in the news. The attitude was like "They're NASA, they're going to bring them back". Mexico had zero aerospace industry back then, thinking on building or manning these ships was out of our comprehension. The trust in the institution that placed a man in the moon was almost infinite, so, not so worried.

Once again dear you show a lot of insight and common sense in what's going on in the movie.i grew up in the 1960's and early 70's.these guys were hero's to me and millions of others.Apollo 13 may truly have been NASA's finest hour.this is an incredible movie and reaction was great.you don't need to apologize for being so emotional it's a wonderful part of who you are

[@lawrenceschuman5354]

The computers that ran the Apollo missions were as powerful as the chip in a musical greeting card. Disposable in our world. I've been to the launch facility in Florida. The Vehicle assembly building is so big it has it's own weather inside. The whole complex is surrounded by a wetlands preserve. On the bus ride in to tour the facility you could see alligators that were bigger than my car. Probably part of the security plan.

[@JPMadden]

I saw an interview with one of the guys from Mission Control, who said they had the only computer in the world with one megabyte of memory (not sure if it was RAM or tape hard drive)!

[@mfree80286]

@@JPMadden It was magnetic core, if I recall correctly. Millions of tiny little ferrous rings threaded in a matrix of three or four hair-thin wires.

[@JPMadden]

@@mfree80286 I was guessing on the "tape hard drive." I knew it wasn't a tiny thing, like today's hard drives, and I've seen the giant reel-to-reel tape machines from old computers. It would make sense that a state-of-the-art mainframe from 1969 would be better than the 1950s and early 1960s models with the tapes.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

The two men that went to be with Lovell's mom in the film were the REAL Armstrong and Aldrin. Don't worry about the crying. It was great to watch the film through your eyes. Great reaction.

[@phillee2814]

I'm old enough to remember the actual events. I hardly slept from when the news of the explosion came out to when they got back, and with half the world, held my breath for the re-entry comms blackout, which was genuinely much longer than expected, and felt like an hour, although in truth it was only a few minutes longer than expected. You also have to remember that the total computing power used to send the Apollo astronauts to the moon was less than in a modern smartphone, and that on-board less than in many digital watches available today. Transferring the flight data from the command to the lunar module was an arduous, manual, task, involving long strings of hexadecimal characters being read from one and manually input into the other. I still think their successful return was NASA's greatest triumph. The movie is far more accurate than I ever expected, taking only very minor liberties for artistic effect. It was emotional in real life and rightfully portrayed that way in the movie.

[@damnedtolive9121]

Dasha your quickly becoming a staple in my KZbin favorites. Dont apologize for your strong emotions in your reactions, it makes you so relatable. The way you marvel at certain movies almost makes me feel like it's my first time watching the movie too and it's awesome. Dont change and keep it up champ!

[@terpcj]

The thing I still marvel at is that the average age of the engineers in mission control at the time of the Moon landings was only about 28 years. So many were hired straight out of college. My father was working in unmanned spaceflight at the time, so I thought all the engineers would be...you know...old. Like him. (All parents are old in their children's eyes.) He was actually around Kranz' age (mid-30s).

[@matthewward2058]

[@roynishapati8426]

Fantastic reaction - as always. This is one of my favourite movies of all time - Brilliant acting, amazing story (because its true), but mostly because, for me at least, you forget all the politics and nationality stuff, and just feel it from a human point of view. As one species I think the space program is an amazing adventure. Conservation of our planet, and exploration of the universe is so interesting, and important - and we need to do it as one world. Enormous respect for every man and woman that takes up that challenge (And infinite respect to those that gave the ultimate price in pursuit of that). Thank you Dasha for expressing how I think we all felt watching this movie - the world was behind the 3 astronauts, and all of the ground crew that put so much effort into getting them back alive. May the spirit of knowledge, adventure, and conservation continue in a united world. Looking forward to your next reaction 😊👍

[@user-jn7tc3tp2x]

Dasha thank you form the bottom of my heart for reacting to this movie!! Your video was absolutely wonderful!! You just reacted to one of my top 10 films of all time!! Just to answer your question: Measles is a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory system. A widespread skin rash is a telltale sign of measles. You asked about how to pronounce the word 'condensation'. Try this: con - den - say - shin. (To pronounce it accurately - Do it fast)

[@LordGalenYT]

Dasha, I'm always amazed by how good your English is and this may be the first time I've ever seen you not be sure of a word. The Russian and English words are very similiar. The Russian Конденсация is "Condensation" in English. Awesome reaction, as always!

[@leewinstead917]

Ireccomend Hidden Figures an interesting story of some unsung heroes of the space program

[@mycroft16]

Dasha: "What is the measles?" Vaccines: "You're welcome." Seriously though, this was an incredible human achievement being emotional is totally 100% appropriate. To this day, Go/No-Go polls before launch give me goosebumps. Gene was absolutely the perfect leader. His attitude of "we are NOT losing these men. Failure is not an option" drove the teams at NASA to find the solutions and not give up in what appeared to be a hopeless situation. His calm, focused, process driven, step by step what can we do leadership is just incredible. Watching footage of the Shuttle Columbia disaster from mission control and you see the same from those teams. Instant professionalism and let's figure this out. Square peg in a round hole moment is one of my favorite engineering moments ever. "Okay, let's get some coffee going" and they just start sorting the pile to see what they got. Ken figuring out the power issue in the simulator... watching that needle bounce up little by little is one of the most stressful film scenes ever, and brings SO MUCH joy. And Russia deserves immense amounts of credit for humanity's push into space. Sputnik. Yuri Gagarin. Even things like the N1 which ultimately didn't work out pushed us forward and our understanding. Russian rocket engines are among the most powerful and reliable there are. Soyuz has an insane safety record with hundreds of launches.

[@realburglazofficial2613]

I've heard NASA engineers in interviews say that the current Soyuz craft and rockets are "almost perfect". Like, the Russians came up with a design that worked so well that for it's entire life remains fundamentally unchanged. Like the M1911 pistol, AK47 and the MG42, weapons designed so well that they are pretty much the same as their original design to this day.

[@gmb858]

Dasha, I was in college when it happened. EVERYONE was worried and praying. I remember a group of students had a candlelight vigil and walked through campus. Several churches held special services. If we weren't in class, we'd be glued to the TV coverage which was 24/7 then it became more scattered until something significant happened. The peak tension was sweating out whether the heat shield would hold. I mean, they had made that far back and if they burned up coming into the atmosphere it ... wouldn' seem fair. I remember watching the capsule on TV as it floated to Earth under its parachute. My lady and I hugged and her tears triggered mine. It was such a relief. Everyone had been very tense for days. I saw young women in their early 20's shaking from relief. Your reaction was more common than not. We all thought it was a miracle, at first not many gave them a chance of surviving. Hope and fear are difficult emotions to feel at the same time.

[@Ambaryerno]

If you want to see Tom Hanks in some funny stuff, you have to look at his earlier work. Right around the time of Saving Private Ryan he started doing a lot more serious roles. But a LOT of his work in the 80s and the first part of the 90s were comedies. Turner and Hooch, Volunteers, The Money Pit, Splash, The Burbs, Dragnet. Incidentally, your mobile phone has more computing power than ALL of the computers used to run the Apollo landings. COMBINED. "What is the measles?" That you have to ask that question is because of modern medical science. LOTS of children died before a reliable vaccine for the measles was developed.

[@SantiagoTM1]

Lady Dasha of Russia, I lived it! I was 12 years old when this happened. My beloved Mom who spoke no English @ that point in time, I had to translate what they were saying on the News, live coverage. I still remember her crying like you are now, & lighting a candle in their honor & placing the candle next to our Catholics Saints in our humble Home & praying out loud in Spanish. Tears filled our eyes, & the screams we both let out when we saw the 3 Orange & White parachutes. We cried, screamed & hugged so hard. It took us a day to fully recover from those moments...

[@dimitrisnikoloulis4071]

An emotional , stressful , and epic journey to the moon and back ! Apollo 13 is a damn masterpiece. And with a top soudtrack by maestro James R. Horner. Dreams sometimes never go true ...like in this case. But surviving is more important from the moon. And faith is the instrument.

[@waterbeauty85]

I took a friend to see "Apollo 13," and he loved it of course, but, science nerd that he was, he couldn't help pointing out that, when it was freezing in the LEM, the steam from the astronauts' breath shouldn't rise in zero gravity.

[@ephennell4ever]

I *loved* your reaction here! It's great that you became so wrapped-up in the story, that you actually *felt* like it was happening, as you watched it! I'm sure that the fact that you didn't know that much of the history of NASA, let you become so *very* involved in what you were seeing on the screen! When this happened, I was old enough to follow what was happening, and I was a *serious* 'Space-fan', or 'Space-cadet'; I remember going outside and looking up, thinking about what was happening in space, and praying "Please God, let them come home safe!" I was so *very happy* when it turned out fine! If you'd like another *excellent* real-life space movie, try _"The Right Stuff"_ ... it gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the early years of NASA. *Seriously* good movie! But be warned: it's a very long movie! (Maybe you'd rather just watch it on your own, not try to do a reaction to it, 'cause it'd probably have to be a three-parter!) *Thanks for an excellent reaction!*

[@davidjaeckel1841]

Hidden Figures is a great movie!

[@markieman64]

The entire mission's audio and transcripts are available online and quite accessible. I believe they uploaded them to the NASA KZbin too. Genuinely fascinating. Howard did such a good job on this movie, but there are still the inevitably dramatic moments, so it's interesting to compare. As has been pointed out a number of times in the comments, the captain shaking Hanks hand near the end is the real Jim Lovell. That's at 40:27 in your reaction, though the moment is blurred (of course, you weren't to know the significance). As they said in the movie, he was also involved in Apollo 8 as the CM pilot. They made a really beautiful Christmas message for the world while in space which I highly recommend. You do not have to apologise for getting emotional. It's a true story, and even if it wasn't, it's very dramatic. I've watched this so many times and still get emotional.

I remember one of the high schools that I attended in the early 70's had a computer, it was huge. I was in a class ( for underachievers) right next to the computer room and the same 4 or 5 guys were always in there using the computer. Of course everyone in my classroom thought they were nerds, but i bet those 5 guys became rich when they grew up.

[@StCerberusEngel]

@@cesarnarro6013 That was me in school in the 80s. When I broke my arm in 1st grade, I learned to type in a cast on the Apple IIs in the back of the room. Any excuse to get to "play" on the computers was a good one.

[@hkpew]

@@cesarnarro6013 When I was in 5th grade (so approximately 1972?) my school got a desktop computer. (Can you believe it? A whole computer that actually fits on a desk! As long as it's a reasonably large and sturdy desk, and you don't plan to use the desk for anything else.) I was one of a few lucky students who got to learn how to program it, so I know exactly what its capabilities were. It could do basic arithmetic functions, simple loops, and in addition to the ability to store something like 100 programming steps it had about 5 user accessible memory registers. In other words, it was almost as powerful as my first programmable calculator, which I got about 6-7 years later. Comparing either of these to a modern smartphone is like comparing an oxcart to a modern Semi. (Actually, the more I think about that analogy the better it works. Right down to the Semi needing modern roads and other infrastructure in order to actually be a good replacement for the oxcart.)

[@irishmedic]

Dasha, I Love this movie, I cry myself when I see stuff like this! I have been to 7 Space Shuttle Launches and every one of them was indescribable!!! It is an incredible feat of engineering! There is a mini-series from HBO called "From the Earth to the Moon"! It is a story of the beginning of the space program and shows the progression of NASA going to the Moon, all the setbacks and victories! It was produced and narrated by Tom Hanks and is a truly inspiring show!!!!!

I was going to recommend to Dasha the exact-same movie! As a small boy in the early 1980s, I watched Fred Rogers on TV each morning before school. It wasn't until I was an adult that I learned of how much of a humanitarian he had been, driven by the conviction that every child needs to be told that they matter, that they are important.

She is seriously turning into one of my favorite reactors, I first started watching her because she's beautiful, but then I noticed how much she cries and, that's when I subscribed. It might sound cold but I think I actually like her crying videos better, it shows a genuine, kindhearted person. In a way, I'm living vicariously through her. I feel a lot of emotions all the time, but because I'm a guy and I have an old-school mentality, I never let myself lose it because I feel like it is a sign of weakness. Watching her allows me to get a lot of my feelings out, maybe it's because I am an empath I can feel what she feels. Whatever the case, I love how strongly she feels things. Never lose that Dasha.

[@waynedowney7616]

It's really interesting to me to see your reaction to this. I grew up in the 80s, when in the US we were still very much worried about nuclear war with the USSR. The Space Race, particularly going to the Moon, was supposed to demonstrate our technological superiority in the cold war, to let the Soviets know that our missiles were good, so therefore not to try to nuke us first. It's crazy that in the process, humanity sort of realized how silly the whole thing was, and we did the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT) with the USSR not too long after, to begin the process of nuclear weapons reduction. Not sure if you were aware of that global strategic background to all this, but in light of all of that, it's cool to me to see a Russian girl rooting for the NASA guys as they overcame what was almost the biggest disaster of our space program, and to get home safe and sound. This is one of my favorite movies because I work in nuclear power, and the jobs are similar; very technical, requiring logical and calm thinking to do safely. And some of the quotes are applicable to what I do. "Work the problem," "failure is not an option," and "you're a steely-eyed reactor man" get thrown around a lot. Anyway, glad you enjoyed it.

[@ruatonim]

It is truly something special, those moments where we push differences aside and support one another. This was a movie, yes, but the cores of the story are mostly all there. We got a glorified trashcan safely back home by the seat of our pants in a sea of unknown circumstances that we largely didn't prepare for. Thankfully, most of their circuits and panels were way over-engineered to handle the stress. Those circuit breakers with condensation on them we still use in aviation because they work and very rarely fail in their simple, robust design. Cheers.
