I am 71, so I witnessed the whole space program from Sputnik until today. I was in high school when Apollo 13 flew and was so upset when they cancelled the broadcast. The Apollo 1 crew burned up in a ground test because of a spark and 100% O2 in the capsule. Mercury astronaut Gus Grissom died in that fire. A Fitbit has many times the computer power than was available on the Apollo spacecraft. These men were all heroes.

[@s.gibson9329]

People today don't understand the moon is about 400,000 km away and we threw a capsule full of men at it, around the moon and back. That's a crazy amount of precision but we didn't have modern computers. The entire computing power in the world at that time was little more than a desktop calculator. I just picture a room full of nerds frantically doing calculus.

[@YN97WA]

I was in 5th grade when Apollo 13 flew. After it became a rescue mission, our teacher would turn on the 13 inch black and white TV so we could follow the news coverage. I guess he knew that we were witnesses a significant historical event. Thank you, Mr. Stites.

Laika was the first animal to orbit the Earth. She was sent up by the Soviets and never expected to return, as the technology to de-orbit the spacecraft hadn't been developed. She died from overheating during her fourth orbit. Five months later, after orbiting 2570 times around the Earth, she was essentially cremated upon re-entry.

Hello! I wanted to clarify that "Laika" was not the real name of this dog. It was "Kudriavka". But since it was too complicated to pronounce in the West, the name "Laika" is imposing. "Laika" means "little barker" in Russian. It is a generic word for these little mongrel dogs.

If you want to know more about the US space program, Tom Hanks did a mini series for HBO called From the Earth to the Moon. Wonderful program

[@MightyDrakeC]

It kind of surprises me how many people recommend The Right Stuff, and how few recommend From the Earth to the Moon. For me, The Right Stuff is okay. Mildly interesting. Maybe an okay introduction to the Mercury program. But, it takes a lot more liberties for artistic license than Apollo 13. I hear the book sticks a bit closer to reality. For me, From the Earth to the Moon captures the tone and style of Apollo 13 much more closely. It also simplifies things greatly, for a mass audience. But, it has a far higher ratio of Actual Real Facts. Again, The Right Stuff isn't bad. But, I like From the Earth to the Moon much more.

[@paulgrossman2514]

​@@MightyDrakeCThe Right Stuff had a sense of humor, the astronauts' distinct personalities were well portrayed, plus the film illuminated history in an entertaining way and was still accurate.

[@HikingPNW]

I feel bad for Jack Swigert. He was excited to be moved up from the backup team to Apollo 13 as the replacement. Because of the issues he never made it to the moon. The backup teams were put together to prepare for upcoming Apollo missions. His backup team that he left went to the moon on Apollo 16. If he would've stayed on his backup team he would have stepped on the moon. Answer to some of your questions -Measles is a highly contagious disease caused by a virus. It spreads easily when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes. It can cause severe disease, complications, and even death.Before the introduction of measles vaccine in 1963 and widespread vaccination, major epidemics occurred approximately every two to three years and caused an estimated 2.6 million deaths each year. -The dog you were asking about is called Laika. -80 degrees fahrenheit is about 27 celsius

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

Space nerd here. Apollo astronauts were basically superhuman, and the guys on the ground weren't far behind. This movie takes a lot of pains to make them seem more normal so the audience can relate, but these guys barely even flinched. You can listen to their real communications. They're calmer than golf announcers the whole time. As to why we haven't been back to the Moon after Apollo: It's just really expensive and dangerous, and governments don't like doing stuff where they're not in control of the outcome. They didn't really want to do it the first time, but a lot of things came together and made them do it.

[@allolp]

How many shots of safe and effective did you take?

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

@@allolp What?

[@Bunny99s]

I wouldn't say superhuman, but certainly well trained and well prepared. They knew the risk and knew that they have to pull through. About why not going to the moon right now: There was never any real point in going to the moon beside prestige and beating the russians back then. The US government back then had no real interest in science and we haven't really gained much from those missions besides that we made it successfully back. Sending humans to the moon is just a waste of time and resources and doesn't really give any benefit, only unnecessary risks. Unmanned probes are much more effective and less risky.

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

@@Bunny99s Well, let's say they were superb examples of human excellence. The things Neil Armstrong was able to do, and I mean repeatedly in his career, can't be explained by training. The guy did stuff above and beyond the capacity of even his own peers, and so did Lovell, so did a lot of them. I disagree about the Moon, but I've always been fascinated by space stuff. I can see why a lot of people don't think it's that important, but it really is. Beautiful and important.

The work in preparation for each space mission is the equivalent of a university degree. Jim Lovell already had an engineering degree and this was his fourth mission. They somewhat over dramatized the crew substitutions. The backup crews were just as prepared as the flight crew.

I was 9 years old when this took place but I remember it like it was yesterday. every time the news came on there would be an update on how they were doing. I have no idea why the Apollo missions were cancelled after Apollo 17 - I guess people just get bored easily. The Measles is one of those diseases you tend to get when you're a kid, like chickenpox or mumps - an itchy rash that covers your entire body - everyone used to get it at one time or other. Its not usually dangerous but can be. thankfully not so common now because of immunization.

[@phj223]

For more on the US space program, check out "The Right Stuff" (1983), starring basically everyone (including Ed Harris from this movie). We follow the selection and training and first missions of the Mercury astronauts, Mercury being the space program that preceded the Apollo missions to the Moon, and the backdrop of the movie is the space race between the US and the Soviet Union.

[@panamafloyd1469]

62yr old US spaceflight fan. I'll try not to make my comment too long, but will definitely fail.😆 Apollo 1: Original crew capsule had flaws, burst into flames inside during 'practice' for the launch. Killed all three of the crew. Other Apollo flights were unmanned test flights until 7. Apollo 7: Successful test of the 'new' improved version of the crew capsule. Apollo 8: No landing, but successful orbit of the moon. Rumors at the time were that the Soviets were about to land, NASA made the mission for 'bragging rights'. Apollo 9: Earth orbit test of the Lunar Landing spacecraft. Apollo 10: Experiment to see if the whole "package" could be sent to the moon by the rocket. Apollo 11: First successful landing. 12 was also successful, but not really televised because one of the guys on the surface left the lens cap off of the camera, and burned out the thing after it was pointed at the sun for too long. There's good still pictures, though. They removed pieces from one of our older robot landers, and brought them back for people to study what such a harsh environment would do to our stuff. 13, well..that's what the movie's about. The program was originally scheduled for 20 missions, but was canceled after 17 by the US Congress because "..we beat the Russians.." (as was mentioned in the film). Only reason we have museum pieces here is because half of the stuff had already been built. My aunt was employed as a programmer by the IBM computer company back then, "Federal Service Division". She was assigned to NASA during that time. I actually got to shake hands with Lovell and Krantz (among others). And also with an ex-Navy diver who helped recover 13 after splashdown. Dude said that once the hatch opened, it smelled so bad that one of his buddies threw up.

They took a lot of artistic license with Jack as being some sort of low confidence pilot. in reality, he is the one that wrote the book and safety procedures on that spacecraft. He was the most qualified person to be in that position.

[@lawrencejones1517]

Ken Mattingly was shifted to the Apollo 13 backup crew, and he flew on Apollo 16 to the moon. He remained an astronaut at NASA into the Shuttle Program where he flew on STS-4 and STS-51-C. The main reason we stopped going is the same reason we started. Politics. To go, you need a massive budget, on the order of a a country, to finance it. In order to finance it you have to have a government willing to go all out to make that happen, and in a country like the US, the people have to want it for their Representatives in Congress to authorize the funding. In 1968 dollars, the Apollo Lunar Program cost $40 billion. Between 1972 and now, there have been efforts to try to return, but it has always been shut down, that is until 2018. I am someone who wished that we hadn't stopped, and hope that the current Artemis Program keeps going! I'd like to see astronauts walking on the moon again, like I did when I was a boy!

When I was little, my mom invested in encyclopedias, dictionaries, and reference books of all kinds, so that when one of us kids asked, "what is that?" she would say "go look it up." There was no internet to consult. Not everyone at the time had the luxury of knowledge at their fingertips- my household was lucky. So when I hear a KZbinr with the power of the whole internet at their fingertips, via smartphone, PC or Mac, ask a question, I surely expect the next edit will have them looking up their question to find the answer rather than keep asking the same question to the audient void.

[@jerryholdcroft4607]

Jack was fully qualified and trained for the mission, the backup crew had the same training as the main crew, Jack even wrote some of the emergency procedures for the mission, the film script has been subject to some Hollywood writing to make it more dramatic (Gene never kicked the trash can and the crew arguing never happened according to Jim Lovell). They simply calmly and professionally worked the problems to get them home. There is an audio file of all the flight director comms for the mission, all very calm and informative.

The person at the end that shakes Tom Hanks' hand, is the real Jim Lovell. 39:37:- The reason for discontinuing missions to the moon, is because of the astronomical costs that are involved.

Jack Swigert was highly qualified to be the command pilot. He had designed many of the procedures for the Apollo program. If Lovell had said he wouldn't fly the mission without Mattingly, Swigert would have been the command pilot anyway. Also, the argument between the three astronauts never happened. It was done for dramatic purposes for the movie.

You can think of the later Apollo space ships as having 2 main parts, the command module and the lunar lander (or lunar excursion module (LEM). During launch, the LEM was stored behind the command module in a disposable compartment. After launch, they had to pull it out of the disposable compartment and attach it to the front of the command module. That was what was going on when you said you didn't understand what was going on. The command module separated from the storage compartment, flipped around, then went back to attach the front of the command module to the LEM and pull it out of the storage compartment.

While a lot of the movie is very close to the real events, Swigert (Kevin Bacon) isn't really done justice. For dramatic purpose, he is portrait as something of a "risk factor", when in reality, he was as well trained and in the Apollo program for years as all the others.

You have a chance to get your necklace back if it hasn't been too long since you lost it. Run a very small sewer auger (also known as a snake) down the shower drain and spin it.

At the end of the movie, Tom Hanks actually shakes hands with the real Jim Lovell on the flight deck.

[@marieoleary527]

I was 14 when this all happened. The whole world was watching and praying for these astronauts, including our enemy’s.

[@ronp1903]

That was a great, fun and emotional reaction, Biz!! And I would like to suggest the movies "GRAVITY" & "Apollo 18" (about a classified Moon landing mission). A couple of Space films you will enjoy! Always fun watching You and definitely looking forward to your next flick show! 🎥🍿❤️🌙

[@bbqujeh]

You are correct, moon dust is said to be like glass shards. I was eight when Apollo 11 went to the moon, 1969 was an exciting time. Every spacesuit had to be tailor made for each astronaut. The Admiral who greeted them on board of the ship was the real Jim Lovell.

[@BissFlix]

I see, thanks

25:36 Bisscute channelling Clint Eastwood here is just about the most adorable thing ever.🤣😻

[@peterhansen4931]

Biss, You are really one of my favorite reactors. You are so emotional and clever. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Denmark 🥰

[@thomastimlin1724]

Biss, you're so perceptive...it IS the music. the music makes the film much better than just telling being a technical story. In 1970, the whole world was sacred these men were not going to make it back. the music is well crafted for the emotion of this historical event that was a near disaster. I was a music teacher. My high school marching band did a halftime show [American Football game] in 1997[ 2 years after the film], the theme was about space movies. Our 3rd song was the theme from Apollo 13. The crowd loved it, with flags doing a routine as we played the beautiful majestic theme.

[@conureron3792]

I always tear up quite a bit watching this movie

[@freespirit9981]

You could make a completely new channel just on reactions of space missions from many countries. Their is so much to react on and I only see this growing. Honestly think of it this way only alittle over 100 years ago Transportation was horse and buggy. We are in that stage with space travel the very beginning with much more innovation to come.

[@granadosvm]

I think back in the 70s people were less worried about the feelings of kids and elderly people, and more interested in telling them what they needed to know. They used tact, but they were more concerned with teaching us to handle things more than with shielding us from bad news.

[@TedLittle-yp7uj]

A fun, true, story about teenagers being inspired by Sputnik is "October Sky." You would love it.

[@BissFlix]

Ill keep that in mind ty

[@marieoleary8438]

@Blissfix I also 2nd that recommendation. October Sky is an excellent movie! Highly recommend😎

[@Michaelgnizak]

I laughed at your cold dog joke.

Now with maned mission to Mars coming up. They need to seriously think about a base on the moon from which they can launch emergency supplies from much cheaper to Mars if needed.

[@MikePerigo]

One great space related movie that gets forgotten is 'Hidden Figures' . Not only is it about the backroom staff instead of the media stars pushed by the publicity machine but it highlights the racial and gender prejudices that they had to overcome.

[@BissFlix]

Oh? might have to check it out sometime

[@leif712009]

It’s “just a movie,” but it’s a true story. I get tears in my eyes every time they appear in the sky and everyone cheers and I already know it’s going to happen!! 😂

[@BissFlix]

Haha thanks for watching

[@robertfindley921]

I'm sure the backup person gets the same training alongside the primary person. So going to a backup a few days before, while not optimal, is not a huge risk. Good movie.

35:16 "I have no idea how much is 80 degrees in Celsius." It's a little more than 25. That's the point Lovell is making; that it's a tropical part of the world.

[@robertbrown5329]

I think you would love series "From the Earth to the Moon". It is a great look at the whole space program.

[@RichardSchaefer-zx9ig]

You recognized Ken because you've seen him as Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump. Loved your reactions to Apollo 13. I lived thru this and I found the ending extremely tense/exciting even knowing it would land safely. Great job of directing by Ron Howard.

[@BissFlix]

Thanks

[@lazyperfectionist1]

12:48 I remember, when I had this movie on VHS, I would replay the liftoff sequence, over and over again. It's _so_ incredibly compelling.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

36:53 The reentry sequence, too.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

You know, I once had this movie on DVD. There were a couple different options to watch it with the audio tuned to a commentary track. One of the commentary tracks was the director's, but the other was that of Jim Lovell. When I watched it with that one on, he shared with us that, while they fudged a lot of details, one thing they related accurately is that the blackout that happens during reentry really did last a little more than four minutes when it was only supposed to last three, and _to this day,_ we don't know why.

[@davidmichaelson1092]

Leica was the dog sent into space by the Soviets. I know this for two reasons. First, Leica became the brand name of a company that made microscopes for scientific research and I used them (along with their main rival, Zeiss) when I was a research biologist. Second, there was (still is I think) a very strange museum in Los Angeles called the Museum of Jurassic Technology. The once had an exhibit covering all the dogs the Soviets sent into space. I have heard that there is no real evidence that the famous line "Houston, we have a problem" was ever uttered. But it works. As I understand it this is a pretty accurate portrayal of what happened. I vividly remember the two shuttle disasters. The first was when I was in college. I was busy most of the day, but when I finished I walked into the college pub. Everyone's eyes were glued to the TV and all I saw on the TV was a random pattern of smoke in the sky. Then they showed the replay of the whole thing and I became glued to the TV for the next hour. The second one I was married with a kid. For a reason I do not understand, I suddenly felt dread and said to my wife, "Let's turn on the TV...I think something has happened." And sure enough, the shuttle had broken up in re-entry. There were three American space programs. Mercury (with one astronaut per mission) was to show we could get out of Earth's orbit. Gemini (with two astronauts per mission) was to show we could reliably orbit the Earth repeatedly. Apollo (with three astronauts per mission) was to get to the moon.

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

When aimed toward the Earth and propulsion is executed, even when the propulsion is stopped the physics law applies - "a body in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by another force". At this point, they just need to try to line up correctly to get into position to create stopping motion over the ocean to fall out of orbit over the ocean. However, there's the catch mentioned: Too high and they'll skip off the atmosphere and back into space with no option to turn around. Too low and the trajectory will cause too much friction on re-entry and the ship will burn up. As you saw, a lot of heat builds during free fall of the ship from orbit. This was also true with the space shuttle Columbia, which lost heat tiles and it burnt up on re-entry. Re-entry is a critical time for a space craft.

[@martensjd]

You mentioned that the had ultrasound in 1995. That's when the movie came out, but the Apollo 13 mission was in 1970.

[@NerdJared]

What a great movie. One of my favorites! Great reaction!

[@BissFlix]

Thank you

[@a.g.6224]

Hello,i think the reason why you are emotional about this is because this really happened.I was seven years old and i remember it was on the news all over the place,and can you imagine the number was 13?? People were getting used to the moonlandings since the two landings before were successful but suddenly this accident happened and there was chaos.Thank you for showing this film,it is one of my favourites.

[@markhenry8669]

The engines that come off float down and crash into the ocean.

[@davidtoupal1015]

A cold dog was great

[@billtisch3698]

The powdery surface of the moon is also dark like asphalt (doesn't look like it when it's all lit up and with a black background) and it stinks really bad.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

At least one astronaut started sneezing when he was exposed to dust tracked into the LM.
