Earth seen from Apollo 11

[lawnsausages]

A nautical mile is 1.1508 miles so they were over 203,000 miles from the Earth.

[Embraer091]

5:20 - OWWWW.... ASTRONAUT FAIL IN GEOGRAPHY CLASS!!!!........South America is not in Mexico... South America starts with Colombia and goes all the way down until Argentina...Mexico is in Central America along with Cuba, El Salvador, Panamá and others...

[Embraer091]

That is just Outstanding... I've never seen this footage before... What a life-time experience!!!!

[skating0813]

ugh we're sooooo tiny compared to the vast space around us.. it's mind boggling.. I love it

[DoubleBSquad]

Don't see how you could call it fake. But, no matter what video you put out there, theres always gonna be idiots.

[shadowq2]

fake (and gay)

[Killer99215]

@shadowq2 what is fake? and why-- are you gay?

[TePunaGumbootRapist]

im no rocket surgon but where the stars at?

[pjt]

@TePunaGumbootRapist Their filming in daylight through a window at 24 frames per second. Only bright objects(Moons, planets, maybe a reflective spaceship) are exposed. Faint stars cant be filmed nor where they NASA's concern when the sent up the video equipment. Cinematography 101

[acaticlopez]

fake over, simulated earth view

[LunarTuner]

@acaticlopez, explain how a fake, simulated earth is viewed showing the exact weather known on the earth at the exact time it was broadcast live to the world.

[hempartist420]

I hate that place

[renegade1179]

@hempartist420 Yeah, what a dump

[Leezackpoland]

@hempartist420 mars is better lol

[trayder29]

Can someone explain to me why stars can't be seen from space? Or at that angle?

[TheBlastingPower]

@trayder29

Take a low-end camera (possibly the one in your telephone), which is still much better than what these astronauts have had, then at night try to film sky and watch it. You'll see no stars because ordinary cameras aren't sensitive enough to capture faint light from the stars.

[ThePapabear27]

@trayder29 because its piece of cardboard with a circle cut out, they're actually just in orbit. you can find the footage floating around on youtube where they move it out of the way.

[YDDES]

@ThePapabear27 Only total ignorants can believe this is filmed from Earth orbit, since the cloudscape isn't moving by as when seen from ISS or Shuttle films. Geostationary LOW Earth orbit??? Oh, my Gawd...

Ever learned ANY astronomy or physics?

[ThePapabear27]

@YDDES Astronomy, physics? Well, actually yes, probably a good deal more than you. The simple fact that you do not know the meaning of "ignorant" (it is not synonymous with "stupid") shows the limited range of your intellect. There is plenty of unedited Apollo 11 footage available, including this video where you actually see the astronauts removing the cardboard and voila!, there is earth in all it's glory from low earth orbit. Look it up, because YOUR ignorance is not MY problem.

[YDDES]

@ThePapabear27 Please just explain how they can film from low Earth orbit and the surface is not moving by the window, since the spaceship must be moving with about 8 km/sec.

Why is the terminator fuzzy and the horizon sharp if it's filmed through a hole in cardboard??

Where do You see that "cardboard"?

I didn't mean "stupid". I meant "ignorant". And if I make some writing mistake: English is not my native language.

[ThePapabear27]

@YDDES Start at 4:44 at this video. It shows how it was done. /watch?v=y1tqZyZVoDM&feature=r­elated

[YDDES]

@ThePapabear27 What starts at 4:44 is that the camera is swung away from the window and then back. It was handheld in zero g, so no wonder. What about it?

Now, please explain how they can stay over the exact spot of the Earth all this time in a low orbit? And, why is the terminator fuzzy and the horizon sharp if it's the nearby surface filmed through a hole in cardboard? I've already asked You, You know...

[YDDES]

@ThePapabear27 Hello again! Have You found out how they could stay over the same spot on Earth in low Earth orbit and why the terminator is fuzzy and the horizon is sharp if it's filmed rhrough a round hole in cardboard yet?

Or, have You beginning to lose Your faith in the hoax-sellers?

[theantiredneck]

@AutherStern Yes there are radiation belts they are comprised of solar wind that is deflected around the earth by it's magnetic field! I think your the one that needs to go back to school?

[theantiredneck]

On that note there is a funny picture taken by an astronomer with ESA on one of those large telescopes it took a picture of a place on the moon that wasn't a published landing site but never the less there is one of the luner landers sitting in a place it shouldn't B and even more strange is it is an intact lander meaning the top part that is supposed to separate and fly the crew back to orbit is still on the vehicle! Either there are two astronauts still in it or they got another ride!!!!!!!!!!

[theantiredneck]

We went to the moon but at the same time they faked it, i don't know if they couldn't afford if something happened they would just switch to the fake side so people would thing there was no problem or they knew what they might find when they got there and didn't want that seen? But something was up for sure. There is a video showing them removing the crescent window insert showing them in orbit and faking the window scene so it's not just me saying it, it's a fact!!

[theantiredneck]

That looks funny the clouds and land mass looks out of proportion, it looks like they turned all the lights out in the vehicle and are looking out of a port hole that has a crescent shaped insert in it and the vehicle is just in earth orbit! If you notice the land is moving pretty fast as it would look if you were in orbit! There is no way the land mass would even move at all in this time frame if the vehicle was at 177k miles but in this video the land mass just spins proving there in orbit!!!!

[radiopipiles]

...so, if we can't see stars in space, why is it that we can see them from earth?

[PaintSlinger99]

@radiopipiles the astronauts can see them, its just we dont have cameras that can see the bright light, and the dim light of stars... without low exporsure etc. etc. the stars are there... and much brighter than on earth!! :)

[Utoobepooper]

@radiopipiles i take it you've never taken any type of science in university or high school

[radiopipiles]

@Utoobepooper i get my space knowledge from Star Trek. what's High School??

so what's the answer?? come on nerd shine up.

[Utoobepooper]

@radiopipiles first, the quality of the camera would not be able to detect light that faint or small, kind of like using a cellphone camera at night, all you'll get is mostly black. Second, the light relfecting off of the earth would be so bright it would partially blot out the stars. With the naked eye however from that distance yes you would notice some stars, a camera, or shitty camera rather would not. And as far as the earth thing goes it depends where you are. ie: look up in the sky in nyc

[Utoobepooper]

@radiopipiles hope that helps :)

[radiopipiles]

@Utoobepooper I see your answers was just as good as mine.

[Utoobepooper]

@radiopipiles wait what? you didnt give an answer, you asked a question. I be confuzzled????

[radiopipiles]

@Utoobepooper yes you be, yes you be.

[Utoobepooper]

@radiopipiles that's deep man

[radiopipiles]

@Utoobepooper yes it is, yes it is.

[XHDxReplayX]

the one that disliked this video is an alien xD

[ArthurStern]

Thanks Ugowar

Only the 24 men that went to the moon saw the full circle of our earth.

And the view is all inspiring. That beautiful planet hanging in the darkness of space looks so fragile...

[colintheman]

there actually orbitting the earth in this video, and the camera is looking out one of the circular windows from across the room, and placing stuff infront of the window to get the lighting effect, its all an illusion, we never got out of the radiation belts that circle the earth

[ArthurStern]

@colintheman

@colintheman

No, they are not orbiting earth.

And our planet has a magnetic field, not some ‘radiation belt(s)’.

Go back to school, Colin.

[colintheman]

@ArthurStern look into the van allan radiation belts bud

[colintheman]

@ArthurStern video.googleDOTcom/videoplay?d­ocid=-7018132917357451082#  just change the DOT to an actual dot

[randomchiick1]

hehhehee its just spinning around, minding its own business. :D

[TheLegend2B]

ok where the fuck is the moon when coming in that far away

[melenmike]

those guys have a great job!!!!

[dvdjonny]

earth seems so......lonely

[hotitalianstalion]

hahaha osrry but at the end just cracked me up with the fly sound i didn't expect that to happen 4:48

[jiw198921]

how id love to be the one filming this

[ZeroC0ol1989]

*bleep* Atlanta Houston if that's not the Earth we are in trouble *bleep*

thats just too funny XD

[ugowar]

@ZeroC0ol1989 Not Atlanta, he says "Eleven". As in Apollo 11.

[ZeroC0ol1989]

@ugowar

Sorry my bad

[menagrabinna]

@ZeroC0ol1989 lol houston should have told them "it's not" just to see what they would say lol

[zombiesocks99]

can you belive that we are the brightest planet in the solar system?

[ugowar]

@zombiesocks99 We aren't. Venus is.

[smurfieboo]

@zombiesocks99 the brightest but the dumbest

[jgjghgh]

I think i can see my house from here!

[ikhwanazizie]

what? this planet looks small. I want to move out.

[DMTSbreakz]

it's disgusting!!!!!!!! Son of a Jesus, kill it.. Kill it with fire

[SuzLa1]

How come the light part where the sun is shining keeps spining around? How could they do that if they're on the ground on the moon?

[SuzLa1]

@SuzLa1 Or are they doing it from the space craft? I didn't realise they could spin around a space craft.

[ugowar]

@SuzLa1 Why wouldn't they be able to spin around and basically float however they like when they're weightless during unpowered coast to the moon?

[datzfast]

@ugowar only during a powered burn of an engine rocket do you need to be pointed in a direction. but nasa does claim you have to spin the craft to keep the heat even. frankly in a well insulated vacuum of space i dont see how this could make a difference , you would simply roast in the oven, because of the vacuum you cant dump heat off at all. you know , like the ice in the shade on the moon, cant melt or give up heat to the cold ground or the vacuum of space.

[datzfast]

@datzfast for millions of years a space ship would get hot from the sun and for millions of years never give up any heat to the vacuum of space. so how does earth give up the heat, to a vacuum of space answer the heat drives air currents oceans of air and that takes tremendous energy globally. How does a space ship do it? only NASA knows. LOL hint solar cells shade the craft, but apollo had no shade to hide in? well its only a problem in space.LOL

[ugowar]

@datzfast Before you "LOL" any more, go learn the difference between RADIATIVE, convective and conductive cooling.

Only THEN come back here with your ideas of what makes sense from a physical and engineering standpoint.

[datzfast]

@ugowar i dont even have to read about it dumbass i know how to do it. im jerking you like a little boy fag.and by the way it doesnt use any of those three you listed. and no i dont think NASA wants me to tell you either.

[ugowar]

@datzfast They *haven't* used radiative cooling on a spacecraft? Hahahaha. I wonder how they managed to work around the blackbody emission law of physics.

You're pathetic. Goodbye.

[Rob260259]

@datzfast

Epic fail.

[ugowar]

@SuzLa1 They're not on the moon, that was taken on the way to the moon.

[barthoedemaker]

So your standing on the moon and thinking, why these stupid ants on that planet kill each other money? !!

[loperspest]

'It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing. . .'

Yet, I love it dearly.

[boundtogetdown]

its like a little spec of dust

all the people, creatures, trees, clouds, mountains, rivers, oceans, cliffs that most of us will ever experience all exist on that little tiny spec of material

[westside159]

look at are planet just chillin in outerspace like a diamond ...

[pisikog]

Just try to take a look at it..

All the wars.. Troubles.. People.. Thoughts.. Dissasters.. nature..

So many things, for such a small thing..

[Scythe509]

yup, our own little grain of dust in the cosmic ocean...no wait, we're orbiting a grain of dust in the cosmic ocean.

[were455]

our beautiful planet.... thats our home... we must look after it!!!!!

[TheVanover10]

if thats not the earth were in trouble

[leroydubya]

If you've even seen the Apollo 11 command module on display at the Air and Space Museum, in Washington, DC, you'd have a heck of an appreciation for what these guys put themselves through. That craft had a very cramped interior. And yeah, seeing the earth from space has to be humbling.

[kelgorIII]

While they are in space it is not just the CM it is the CSM(Command Module with the Service Module) also there is the LEM on the moon missions. While it is still small it is allot bigger than just the CM.

[metroidprime4]

Whats scarier, finding out we are alone in the universe or discovering that were not.

[ugowar]

For me personally, it's contemplating we're alone (since we can never actually *find that out*, we can only contemplate). Being lonely is both scary and depressing, all the more since we have this urge to destroy ourselves.

[DorianGabriello]

metroidprime4 - Planet earth, we are a part of something way bigger than we think.. galaxy never ends in my opinion.. so I really believe there is other form of life somewhere out there..another form of technology, or intelligence.. :) I believe that it exists

[Scythe509]

both and neither...at the same time.

if we are alone:

:) -we've got the whole place to ourselves.

:( -we cant make any friends

If we're not alone:

:) -we can make friends and learn cool things from them.

:( -we could get raped by them....

Though the idea that we are alone, it's a pretty big possibility.

[journeythruthepast]

@Scythe509 The odds say there's no way in hell we're alone in the universe. The universe is considered infinite, or at least too big to contemplate and expanding at a fast rate. Problem is, the universe is so big that even in another 5 billion years (approx. age of Earth), we can't even begin to scratch the surface of what other intelligent life forms exist. To do that, technology would need to allow for vessels to travel at the speed of light (physically impossible to comprehend).

[matooli]

Think of everything that was going on down there on earth when this was shot... Vietnam was raging, Nixon was president, The Beatles were still active... not to mention all the millions of people living down there at the time who have come & gone.

Talk about giving you a new perspective! Thanks for posting this.

[ugowar]

Yes, it's said this experience gives you a profound new perspective on Earth and everything on it. Someone said all politicians in the world should be made to go through this as it's a really humbling experience and shows just how insignificant all of our earthly affairs are.

I don't think I'd personally feel comfortable seeing the Earth that far away. It takes some guts to leave the comparative safety of our planet with no means to come back to it quickly in case of trouble.

[ConsciousDistortion]

I definitely sympathize with your last statement, but the opportunity at this point is so rare that I don't think I'd have the guts to say no. To immerse oneself in space and realize the alternative to all our Earthly illusions would be an experience of a lifetime.

[ugowar]

I didn't say I wouldn't take that chance if given the opportunity, but I'd probably have second thoughts about it while actually being up there :)

[ConsciousDistortion]

I hear you. I think though that if I got out that far, I could die out there. That shit is the height of our technology right now, what else is there to experience after that?

In wich year is this?

[ugowar]

July 1969

[scharwenka1850]

What's cool about YouTube is finding interesting things one is looking for. Thanks.

[stuartthegrant]

This I Love....what a peep in to the Inity...

[jogoble]

amazing video thanks for sharing

[dioxviad]

everything happening on earth seems insignificant from this distance
