[jaronee]

Boy this guy sure loves the bVI#4 chord.

[usaeagle1776]

kewl vid.

[Glinkaism1]

16mm WILL be grainy. WILL lack detail. No way in the word is it comparable to HDTV, whatsoever. But if you want to delude yourself, go ahead.

@Glinkaism1

3 words for you sir, low light performance

[MrAlienUSA]

AWESOME!!!! it's.... Fantastic.... :'D And the music it's amazing..... I ♥ the U.S. SPACE PROGRAM!!!

I'm just wondering why on Earth they will used higher frame rate when they were in space but the moment when they touched the ground, a lower frame rate was used. Why oh why? I guess that means something.

[Polybun]

@pogpog28 yes, it means they could not communicate directly with nasa, using the command module for a relay. This meant a drop in bandwidth, and the esiest way to make up bandwidth was to drop the frame rate. The technology used back then was not digital, it was analog, and any given antenna design can only cover so much bandwidth. The same can be said for the transmitter itself. And even if you could make the bandwidth wider on the transmit end, you then loose sensitivity on the receive end

@ 28:29 BANG!! God takes away small rock on the LHS and replaces it with big rock on the RHS I do not believe the Apollo missions were fake but I do believe that an elite team of Communist rock moving chimpanzees followed Nasa in a deliberate attempt to undermine their acheivement!!

[green66vw]

This is some awesome video.This is our history! This is great! ilove it. Not to be negative,but i feel sorry sometimes that alot of people in general dont even know what the hell this is.Its sad. 

[Glinkaism1]

Er, dickhead, sort of like forgot to show that 16mm film is INHERENTLY GRAINY because it is low resolution film-based technology.

Try again, NASA faker. Sorry no big bux$ for hoaxes.

[Polybun]

@Glinkaism1 actually 16mm has every bit as good of fidelity as HD digital. Granted that depends on the emulsion and the care that has been taken during exposure and replication. However, 15-20 million pixels per frame is common, and it's not a delta-t system, every frame is a complete frame, with digital it is not. fyi, 35mm is easily capable of 50million pixels per frame. The problem is, transfers are often not made frame by frame, they are "telecined" which gives rather poor results.

[badreality2]

How on earth did they fit all of those cameras in the rocket fuselages without having them melt from the rocket thrust?

[predatortheme]

@badreality2 this is a special Onboard tv camera to make mission broadcasts .. they are wired to the spaceship with a cable

[tek1001]

Great footage! Thanks for posting :-)

[Doctor699]

ANYONE WHO THINKS THE MOON LANDING WAS FAKE SHOULD BE ON THE NEXT LAUNCH TO THE APOLLO LANDING SITES!

[gibsyboy]

cmon how can this be fake ! ever seen Walking on the moon 3d with all this new tegnology it doesn t even come lose to this.

[digitalblasphemy1100]

it must be fake. this song came out waaaaay after the apollo missions!

[Scott011980]

@digitalblasphemy1100 : Dumbass he added the music

[digitalblasphemy1100]

@Scott011980 oh really? thanks for telling me! you know, i just didnt realize that myself... i figured there was a soundtrack playing through the entire mission! wow am i stupid!

[noxx2020]

Did you really get this in HD from that site? i cant find it in HD? all i got was the 320x240 version... The only one on youtube that has convinced me of an HD transfer is the slowmotion apollo 11 launch vid with commentary

[RickyboyH]

At around 24.30 into the film, you can see Al Shepard and Edgar Mitchell donning something that looks like an oxygen mask of some sort (inside the cm) anybody know why they did that? (I guess it was filmed by stu roosa)

[JakeTonga]

Too bad the moon landings were hoaxed:(

[Rob260259]

@JakeTonga

Too bad you're a hoaxhead.



[NJRocks281]

everyone click hd to watch

[FantasticBob7000]

@AwesomeJokes

 : )

[purepils]

@AwesomeJokes

I remember seeing this footage when I was about 10 on an early color tv.

That would have been about 1977!

You try looking at "CGI" film of such events such as HBO's

"From the Earth to the Moon" you just cant fake zero gravity.

I hope you are just winding us up?

[predatortheme]

@AwesomeJokes

Wow, sure. Airboyd faked the whole apollo mission???

and HOW THE FUCK DO YOU EXPLAIN THE USA FLAG ON EVERY FUCKING LANDING SITE YOU ASSHOLE!

[HIMFAN87]

@AwesomeJokes Its an Annotation retard.

[tasfastas]

@AwesomeJokes I mean, clearly one has to be really stupid to thumb this commentary up

[dinmagic]

Amazing. I've never seen this before. Thanks for uploading.

[TackyNames]

ty for upload

[loperspest]

To quote the late Carl Sagan, "How lucky we are to live in this time. The first moment in human history when we are, in fact, visiting other worlds."

Lucky indeed.

[krisdevalle]

Brilliant stuff, glad you uploaded it.
