I was 12 years old in July 1969, born and raised in a small town in NE Kansas. My mom was in a laundry mat and I was on the sidewalk in front of AV News, a magazine store next door. I was watching wide-eyed a 15 inch B&E TV in the front window. I was enthralled! I watched in amazement as Neil proceeded down the ladder and stepped on the moon!! I heard him say the immortal words, "That's one small step for a man; one giant leap for Mankind." It's one of the clearest memories of my life, right up there with watching each of my children being born, and I will treasure it and keep it with me always. And then in 1972, in junior high school (now 'middle school'), our science class took a field trip to University of KS in Lawrence and got to see the moon rocks touring the county. Like NOW in space development....A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!! (And I'm seriously planning on going to Mars with SpaceX!)

HAte to say it but Starship isnt capable of sending humans to mars realistically speaking Mars is too far away and the amount of logistical challenges is beyond Space X for now !

[@dip-tree]

It is good to have dreams (like visiting Mars), but one should also assess reality. Musk will simply rob you and make you a space mummy

I was 3 months and 2 days old and my dad was in London. He supposedly went down from his hotel room and purchased the morning news paper. Though he passed away 22 years ago, we still have that paper somewhere in the attic.

[@DubitoErgoSum-pd6cr]

I was 3 months and 15 days old 👋

[@jcdisci]

I was 12

Wonderful tid-bits about one of the most daring adventures of humanity.

[@johnanderson6946]

It would be awesome if the N1 Rocket worked and Soviets also landed Cosmonauts on the moon imagine American and Russian astronauts shaking hands on Lunar surface akin to the Apollo-Soyuz program wudve been a sight to see😍😍😍

[@SudhirRaja23]

Amazing factoids. Didn't know about most. Thanks for the video. :)

[@llbodlearning8591]

Thankyou for such insightful information

[@ART-ii2vl]

Fascinating ❗️The moon has a smell that of gunpowder…wow

[@MuthuKumaran-hb6ku]

Thank you!

[@rajeshshah4323]

You said that they landed with just 25 minutes of fuel left. Please read a book “Failure is not an alternative” by Gene Kranze the Flight Director, of Apollo 11 mission, which says they had about 15 seconds of fuel left.

[@ApolloKid1961]

The book is called "Failure is not an option". And yes there was only about 15 seconds left.

[@kcpauz]

damn that's some hair raising information

[@KarnaTheGreat]

I’m losing my hair steadily; I could use some hair raising info.

[@user-qx9bt9tr6t]

Yuri was the first human to venture into space, not Armstrong. These guys were the first to land on another heavenly body.

[@johnanderson6946]

Every achievement great in its own right.....Yuri Gagarin definitely the 1st a legend in his own right!

The fact that they never landed

[@spinav8r]

Have fun with your low I.Q. life.

[@ApolloKid1961]

The fact they landed 6 times.

[@johnwolf2829]

You are a TROLL and a Liar, like any other insecure and immature Neo-Commie.

[@sailorman8668]

Perhaps your doubts about the Apollo missions being real, is based on ignorance and a lack of understanding of how the missions were conducted? Maybe you shouldn't be so gullible to believe so easily, the misinformation contained in videos that claim the missions were faked?

[@vinsin328]

Despite the fact that 12 people have landed on the moon to date, from what I can recall, the Muslim clerics said that those who went later converted, and both the Brahmavadi and Jains went into denial mode. It is evident how uninterested and irrational people (Brahmavdi + Muslims + Jains) were then and still are. Today, Jains and Brahmavadis have abandoned it and replaced it with symbols of irrationality, such as cows, untouchability, food terrorism, menturation, sattvic, and the Bagwad Gita.

[@dannyhendy]

Amazing that people still believe it.

[@ApolloKid1961]

@@dannyhendy It's not a religion so it has nothing to do with believe. Over more than 10 years, Project Apollo involved 400,000 people working at major contractors such as Boeing, North American Aviation, Douglas Aircraft Company, IBM, Motorola and MIT University. Converted to today, the costs were 341 billion dollars. After Apollo 11 there were 5 more other landings.

[@johnwolf2829]

Say all the insecure neo-commie Trolls, and absolutely stupid since we have telescopes in Earth that can SEE the landing sites. Dialectic; quasi-religious B.S. that allows high-IQ types to believe the stupidest things imaginable.... and allows Malthusian monsters to pretend that there is anything human about themselves.

[@sailorman8668]

@@johnwolf2829 Actually, there isn't a telescope powerful enough on earth, that can take images of the Apollo lunar landing sites. The images that you might have seen, have been taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, a surveying satellite that has been in lunar orbit since 2009 taking detailed pictures of the moon's surface.

[@varunrangaswamy1699]

He could smell the moon??

[@spinav8r]

She explained exactly how they were able to smell it. Did you actually watch (and listen to) the video? I think not. Have fun with your low I.Q. life.

[@ApolloKid1961]

Did you listen what she said? They smell it when they took their suits of.

[@jcdisci]

They smelled the moon dust attached o their suits. It clings like mad to EVERYTHING.

Where is the Air on Moon?How foolish?
