To the Moon: Dave Scott

[@birther1968]

My dad went to Grad school with Scott and Slayton. Grew down the street from the Scott’s and spent many days at there house.

[@joestimemachine6454]

Dave Scott and Jim Irwin seem to be the forgotten moon walkers (and Ed Mitchell too). Space enthusiasts often speak of Pete Conrad and the lovable Al Bean; the legendary Alan Shepard, the master John Young, the wonderful Charlie Duke, the no non-sense Gene Cernan, and the enthusiastic Harrison Schmitt. Scott and Irwin never seem to get the attention as those others got, which is shame because the crew of Apollo 15 is just as amazing as the others.

[@Ruda-n4h]

All legends in their own ways.

[@JeffGR4]

Are you kidding me?! Col. Dave Scott is among the all-time greats - the overblown stamp scandal aside.

[@dukeford8893]

@@JeffGR4 Yep, a great astronaut and pilot. Also very human. Used his official position for personal gain (or tried to). Later sued for some other financial chicanery. He and Duke Cunningham had a lot in common.

I think Hadley-Apennine is the best landing site to view through a telescope. It has everything. The Rille. The South Cluster and the North Complex. And to look down on Mt. Hadley itself from an altitude of a quarter million miles is a treat...

[@TomTimeTraveler]

It never ceases to amaze me what David Scott and the other Apollo astronauts had to know, prepare and train for their missions. They are articulate and express their thoughts in an easily comprehensible manner. Also, it amazes me to imagine “what their eyes have seen” for each moon walker. Incredible!

[@tracyexley8573]

David Scott, is someone I met who is a really nice guy!

[@donb1183]

Dave's first two missions were commanded by Neil Armstrong (G8) and Jim McDivitt (A9). Would love to ask Dave to compare these two as commanders.

[@birther1968]

Mr Scott said he is alive today because of Neil Armstrong.

[@darrelayles1700]

Brilliant astronaut

[@maximilliancunningham6091]

Brilliant man, smart beyond words, courageous. Also flew the F-104 to it's limits, and a niche beyond, then lived another day.

[@colinbarnard6512]

I'm proud to say that I spent the Apollo 15 mission watching it on TV. Vivid memories. I was a snot-nosed 11 year old. Imagine life for Dave Scott, and all the Apollo astronauts. They spend 10 days of their lives flying a mission. Granted, it's years of prep, but centred on just those 10 days. You're 35-odd years old. When you get back to Earth, you're faced with spending the rest of your life talking about just those 10 days. The psychological stability of these guys (apologies, Buzz Aldrin) is mind-boggling. Each of the living 600-odd people who have been to space have had their consciousnesses alterd by travelling off-planet. An invaluable perspective, and resource.

[@SWalker71]

Really good speaker.

[@pedrodiaz5540]

David Randolph Scott was one of the greatest astronaut ever to flight a mission.

[@Ruda-n4h]

A brain the size of a house.

​@CH1 they were testpilots. They had to be arrogant.

[@pendleburyable]

[@UAL320]

The complete opposite of John Young in the humble, “aww shucks” department….

[@pedrodiaz5540]

Two suggestions if I may, give more time to this interview 38 minutos is to short to listen to colonel Dave R. Scott and second try to edit it in a better way.

[@mikeprentis8426]

What about the "amazing Domes" up on Stone Mountain?

[@Paul1958R]

gem in nee (not gem in eye)

[@TN-we3zt]

In Latin, yes. In English, either (EEE-ther) or either (EYE-ther) is the same. 😊

[@apollo11guy]

Young, Borman and Armstrong say "eye". I just watched videos.

[@Lensman864]

Very interesting but the amateur production lets it down as does the jump cut missing sections. I really wanted to hear more about Jim Irwin's water supply issue!

[@TimothyOBrien1958]

I'll bet you it was on film, not tape. They had to change magazines.

[@mikeprentis8426]

What about Irwin's giant crosses? Apollo 15.

[@mikeprentis8426]

Why did Apollo moon astronauts only go once?

[@johntiger5]

Supposedly, 24 astronauts flew 9 missions to the moon. Which included Six 2 man landings, with 12 astronauts supposedly walking on the moon. With 6 of them driving rovers. Santa Claus told me. Because Santa Claus figured out way before the Apollo program. How to get through the radiation of the Van Allen Belt.

[@grahammckechnie8438]

Jim Lovell orbited the moon twice Apollo 8 and 13 , John young orbited on Apollo 10 and landed on Apollo 16 , gene cernan also orbitedon 10 and landed on 17

[@SelwynRewes]

@@johntiger5 you are correct all these missions were faked.. My father, a famous Hollywood actor, was hired by the NASA Fakery department to train these astronauts how to act and lie convincingly.. he said that Neil Armstrong was one of his most difficult students and always got his lines wrong...there were different classes for those who were supposed to walk on the moon and those that were supposed to orbit in the Command Module. Kubrick directed most of the fake scenes for all missions except Apollo13 which was filmed in a studio in Hollywood. There were also many thousands of acting classes for the families and friends of the Astronauts and for the 400,000 NASA employees and contractors. These highly trained actors went on to spawn the Hollywood empire that continues to this day… The 24 actornots that allegedly went to the moon were paid millions to keep silent for the rest of their lives... all 10 US government administrations since the Nixon era have agreed to keep paying the families and their descendants billions to keep silent... there are rumours that Trump will reveal all when he takes office in Jan..

[@sonnyburnett8725]

@ 13:30 Dave calls the survey out the top of the LM a “Scouting Expedition”. Beginning with AS12 lunar crews performed this 360 panorama for a few reasons, one being to confirm their location and another to see if they had company. Jim Irwin famously while positioning the lunar video camera “accidentally” panned it across an object sitting on a hillside three times, whereupon Houston warned him to be careful where he was pointing it. Later after an EVA Houston almost demanded he make certain the cabin door was locked wherein Jim Irwin cursedly said it’s locked.

[@Hobbes746]

That is nonsense.

[@jimmystrickland1034]

Dang I thought Jim only went 1 lunar eva without water, not all 3. Yeah his electrolytes levels must of been low including his potassium levels. This definitely caused damage to Jim’s heart on Apollo 15. That’s is his own fault not speaking up. I would have pressed on too, the moon is a one time extraordinary adventure.

[@camarocarl7130]

You would think Scott would have altered the EVA time to accommodate Jim's inability to hydrate for 7 hours at a time... times 3 days- No wonder in this interview he just automatically says 'I don't know" ISFA that caused heart problems in the future? I wonder how Scott felt every time he took a drink on the Moon?

[@uaerhan]

Great interview but I just cant get all these sudden breaks while Dave Scott speaking. I mean just let him speak or dont cut the tape you ruined many of the contexts.

Artemis 2 will be crewed but will not land. Atm it looks like it's going to get launched not before September of 2025. Artemis 3 is scheduled to attempt a landing, but is probably launched not before 2027.
