I have created a music album which charts the history of the Space Race.
Space Race by Rhesus Monkey.
The album charts the start of the Space Race with Sputnik 1957, Yuri Gagarin's first human space flight, John Glenn's Triple Orbit, Ed White's Gemini IV Space Walk, then onto Apollo.
You can view videos of three tracks from the album within my YouTube channel.
Can someone explain me how we can see the rocket all the time... i mean this is recorded from the earth, isn´t it? but it doesn´t matter how much the rocket is going away, we can see it perfectly, even when the rocket is in the space, i don´t understand really, how much optical zoom do you need in camera to get that images... From the second 00:50 to 02:40 we see it perfectly big, and the rocket is a lot of miles away form earth at this time 02:40...
@Schlieaderman it wasn't just cameras there were many "chase" planes flying at high altitudes as well that had high power cameras trained on the rocket. Also they were using optics similar to telescopes on some cameras that allowed for focusing which was no problem for something as large as the Saturn V. These are basic optics exercises. These types of films, sans rockets had been done since WW2, but on high alt weather balloons ect.
All i see in the comments are intelligent people talking about various factors and other people who only say different versions that this and all other flights to the moon are fake, tell me now, and please, be intelligent, what are you going to change by saying "This is fake because of this" or "This is fake because of that"? Each person has a different version, which leads to a sum of total stupidity with countless comments with each being different. You do nothing more than annoy a few people.
@ManTheJazz That's because it is. The mixture is purposely fuel-rich to keep the combustion temperature low enough not to melt the engines. Then when the hot exhaust hits the surrounding air, it ignites. You'll notice that the burning dims out as the rocket climbs and there's less and less oxygen to burn the excess fuel.
@ugowar I would have assumed that YOU know that the F1 turbopump exhaust is injected into the the lower half of the engine to provide a cool gas shield between the uncooled nozzle extension and the exhaust flow.
The upper half of the F1 is regeneratively cooled with fuel, but the lower half is uncooled and only protected by the turbine exhaust (which is not only fuel rich, but cooled due to losing energy in the turbine).
@ManTheJazz there full of shit that why they give you a close up, why not have camera out the front window. If its harder to come back into the atmosphere then how in the did they get back it took that much to get there and then to go 235,000 miles one way.. Bunch of fucking fools
@crazy3641 they plotted their trajectory to the weakest area where the thin metal layers of their spacecraft was enough to shield them from that type of radiation, the total amount of radiation absorbtion was roughly 5 rem, well under the maximum recommended exposure limit by the american nuclear association
@crazy3641 Quickly, within a couple of hours. The accumulated doses were low. Immediately after trans-lunar injection, the spacecraft is moving very fast so it quickly traverses the belt.
@ugowar But they did have significant exposures. Each had a slightly higher risk of getting cancer as a result. Small price to pay, no? The radiation issue is often used as an excuse not to send people to Mars asap. But there are ways to reduce exposure, prepare for solar flares, and the total mission dose is reasonable.
James van Allen, the discoverer of the belts, has repeatedly stated that the amount of radiation exposure astronauts experienced had no long term effects. Moon hoaxers continue to ignore the facts by the one person with the credentials which discredits their loony claim. Most moon hoaxers are individuals that cannot stand the idea of America, and American greatness. We built the Sat V's, went to the moon and back 9 (!) times, "...for ALL mankind".
Americans built the Saturn V's but the innovation, ingenuity and designs came from german rocket engineers such as Wernher von Braun and HIS team of World War II scientists. The American designed Vanguard rockets were all but three failures in reaching LEOs and it was not until the Sputniks were successful that 'you American greats' asked von Braun to up America's performance in the space race.
Im a huge fan of von Braun. In fact he was a great American! He and many if not all of the German rocket scientists became American citizens, of their own free will. Von Braun chose to surrender to the American military at the wars end because he knew the USSR was NOT the place to go! Also von Braun, and others were largely inspired by an early American rocket scientist named Robert Goddard. It was America that guaranteed the Axis powers defeat with our industrial might by not only
@THEORIGINALEXSCAPER He was a genius and one of the greatest engineers of all time, and he was absolutely fundamental to the development of human space flight.
He also chose to remain in Germany throughout the rise of the Nazis, joined their party, and put super weapons designed for killing and terrorising civilians in the hands of one history's greatest monsters.
Does his good work outweigh his bad? Possibly, maybe even probably, but I'll never be a 'huge fan' of him.
@reluctable Put a frog in boiling water, and he jumps right out. Put him in room temp water and slowly raise the temp to a boil and he'll cook. Many in Germany at the time didnt or couldnt believe what was happening with the rise of Hitler, including German Jews. While a few raised warnings, most hoped things would get better. Till it was too late. My litmus test for Germans like on von Braun? Would they/he write Mein Kampf? Start WW2? Create the "final solution"? No. They were victims as well.
@THEORIGINALEXSCAPER I don't deny he was a victim of the Nazis. Do you deny he had a measure of responsibility for the deaths of the people his weapons killed?
I would assess his guilt as on a par with a regular army soldier at the start of the war who is forced to shovel dead jews into mass graves by the end of it. I don't think anything that soldier did afterward would fully expunge his culpability, though no doubt you and I would have done the same in his situation.
@reluctable Hind-sight is always 20/20. I dont deny everyones responsibility for preventing the rise of evil in the world. The events of the war in Europe could have been prevented, if not by the German people, then the world at large. Germanys re-armament was in violation of the Treaty of Versialles and should have caused European nations, including the USA to act. Had they done so Hitler may have been stopped before millions died. And Germany may have been the first to land men on the moon!
@THEORIGINALEXSCAPER I didn't say anything about anyone preventing WW2. I said he is liable for his own actions during that war, while acknowledging that with a gun to our heads most of us would act the same.
However caught up in events and powerless he may have been, he has a degree of culpability in thousands of civilian deaths and I don't personally feel his incredible contribution to humanity after the war is enough to make me a 'huge fan'. But that's just my opinion.
@reluctable No rise of Hitler, no need for guilt caused by liability. No WW2, no culpabilty for civilian deaths resulting from advanced weapon designs. Prevention of evil in power, no guns held to ones head and crisis of conscience. I'm certain not a day went by that von Braun didnt regret his involvement with the Hitler regime, and his post war efforts reflect that. To seek redemption following errors in judgement, forced or not, is worthy of admiration and respect. Thanks for your opinion.
recovering fom Pearl Harbor, fighting the war (winning), and supplying nations such as the UK and USSR with needed war supplies and weapons. Defeating Nazi Germany (and in effect their rocket scientists) and the claim to German technologies is nothing to trifle at. As far as Vangurd, there were two competing rocket interests at the time, the Army and the Navy. Politics chose an untried Navy team. It failed. USSR was motivated to develop ICBMs first, which should tell you something.
@samvall, I see this "the germans did it" sentiment on every video. If what they created was adequate to go to the moon, they wouldn't have spent billions on new designs. Brauns designs were not capable of reaching the moon, and using your logic, the credit should go to the chinese for having the 1st inventions that worked like rockets, along with fire works. But their "innovation" created nothing more than poorly controlled ballistic missiles. Get over it..
@samvall, also much innovation, ingenuity and design work went into the control room and guidance systems. Yes, steering a craft all the way to the moon requires computerized guidance computers. Something the American's created. And furthermore, the computers were created guess where? In American, and it wasn't by Braun. That along with the software are not german innovations. Again, sorry.
@rfsent5 Flying to the moon does not require "miracle" accuracy as some people believe. I'm sure you could drive from California to New York, park in your driveway and stop within inches of your intended spot. That is not "accuracy", it is (1) Mid course corrections and (2) A good knowledge of your destination.
@crazy3641 They also, passed through a weaker section of them. I asked this question a few months ago. Look at the trajectory they took which also shows where and how the van allen belts sit.
In so many ways apollo 8 was more spectacular than apollo11. Yes man stepping foot on the moon is amazing but apollo 8 was when man first left earth's gravitational influence and traveled to another world. Incredible. One other note. These guys had guts. If the same thing happened to them as what happened on 13 they would be dead. No LM. No life boat. One engine to get back home.
At least all those sad, pathetic moon hoaxers can't dispute the fact that we launched over a dozen Saturn V's. If they had any understanding of the breathtaking complexity of that achievement alone, they would realize how ridiculous they sound when arguing with those of us who appreciate the staggering REALITY that was the Apollo program.
@steelbreeze55, Exactly! If a Saturn V can lift off, the technical issues of landing on the moon are far less in comparison. The Saturn V may be the single strongest evidence that Apollo was real.
An Apollo( or Saturn V launch for that matter) launch would have been an utterly awesome thing to have seen in person. Being 25 years old atm, I am far to young to ever have witnessed it in person but that is something I wish all the time I could see. Its hard to grasp the scale of what is happening from just these small videos!!
the only time man has ever been more than a few hundred miles away from the earth was during the apollo missions in 1969 when they say they went 7 times on a round trip of half a million miles? imagine a football 8 inches in Diameter representing the Earth and a tennis ball more than 33 football’s away representing the Moon. – so 40 years ago they went 33 footballs away and back without a single fatality. Yet 40 years later
they cannot go more than a fraction of an inch away from the football
Awesome! One of the mightiest engines ever built by humans. The start of the Saturn V Rocket causes little earhquakes, even registered by seismographs :-)
Soon..So VERY soon...We will launch the METEORBLITZKRIEG! And we vill cleanse this planet of you filthy little subhumans..once and for all! We Come in peace!! HAHAHAH!!!
@burnstagger Actually the characteristic blue glow is a result of the propellants used, and can be seen on any LOX/LH2 engine. I can't say how much the J-2 engine used in the S-II and S-IVB stages of the Saturn V inspired the SSME, but they operate very differently from one another. The SSME uses a staged combustion cycle, while the J-2 uses a gas generator cycle. In that way, the J-2 probably had more in common with the F-1 used in the S-1C stage.

This was the first flight to the Moon, they just didn't touch down. Every hoaxer I speak to always refers to 11 as the first one there! pure logic and a good knowledge of your subject will destroy these morons
They always refer to Apollo 11 like it was the only one. Tell them 9 manned missions went there with 6 successful landings and they go into overdrive. This week I have been told >>>>>>>>

@TheSpiritof1969 RLMFAO!!!, Priceless, COME ON!, you know as well as I do that it was those evil radiation filled Van allen belts!, nothing, I repeat NOTHING can pass threw them!, not even a rock!
I loved the one mentioned by ugowar (above) about how they used flamethrowers to make the rockets look more powerful.
In 1972 me and a mate flew to NY and hitch hiked down to the Cape in time to watch 17 go up. I remember the flames hundreds of feet long, the noise pounding my chest, the emotion, the two 26 year old women who showed them two 19 year old English kids some real American hospitality the next day ...... but not the US army stood in a circle under the Saturn rocket.
@TheSpiritof1969, OK, OK, I got one! This Hoaxer says to me that A: we never went, but B: that once the public eye was off them that they REALLY got stuck in under a Black Opps program, this program continues to the present day and that (wait for it) a hacker accessed a Pentagon computer a few years ago and was able to access secret flight logs and schedules of WAIT FOR IT, "Intergalactic manned flights", yes thats right we are routinely travelling between the planets and beyond!!!
That was a trip of a lifetime We had very little money but we'll always be gratefull to the Americans we met along the way whose cars we cleaned and gardens we tidied for a few bucks and were invited into their homes for a meal and a wash. The truck drivers who organised our next lift, and the two police officers who picked us up from the road and drove us the last 25 miles to our goal. Most seemed touched by our determination to witnes Americas best and the distance we travelled.
We live in different times now. Back then tickets across the pond were a big deal and I got ours from the boss of a travel agency where I was a gother in my first job. Its speciality was trips to the Eastern Bloc and I went to the Soviet Embassy in London many times collecting visas. They were proud of their space effort and god I wish I had kept all the stuff they gave me, it would be serious museum stuff now.
How can anyone think the moon landings were fake? This video shows solid proof that they achieved a massive amount. Why is it so hard to believe they used it what it was built for????
Strange as the USSR were way ahead, with rockets with much more power, and with over 40 years passed, and no one has ever been to the moon ? very strange, because with old 1969 technology the Russians have not been and set up a base there, and no other country, say India, or China, or Japan, our technology is light years ahead of 1969 ? ? ? so why not ? Japan's Jaxa with HD camera's on board say there is nothing at the Apollo sites, gama rays are a big problem they go right through the moon
@jenleex Funding, that's why. You've probably seen the hp laptop commercial, "can a hp laptop launch a rocket". Technology is not the problem at hand. We have all the technology we could possibly need to send people to the moon. But what for? There is nothing on the moon worth paying for. So why bother? I think the only reason why the US landed on the moon was just to say that they were the first to do it. No one wants to be second, and that's why other countries aren't wasting their money.
The hard reality now is that there will never be justification to go there ever again. Robotics now can do anything an astronaut can do at a fraction of the cost.
Fact ... If there were a hundred tons of gold up there right now sitting in a neat pile there will never be a way of bringing it back and still not be billions out of pocket.
@TheSpiritof1969 I have also heard that fact quite a few times. The only resource of value on the moon to this day is He-3. Alas, we haven't yet developed fusion reactors that harness energy from this helium isotope. So we won't go back to the moon any time soon.
However, I disagree with your statement about robots. Robots are still dumb, unless controlled by humans. But if they are remotely controlled by humans, those machines are not "robots" per se.
By robots I do of coarse mean remote controlled landers and other equipment such as rovers. From the moon there would be none of the problems experienced by the Mars rovers where they have to be parked up seasonally and dust sticking to the solar cells and not least the time delay.
Maybe one day artificial intelligence might happen. God forbid it does. Would it be a new evolution that will take the spirit of man to the stars or our own nemisis?
@TheSpiritof1969 I see. But rovers on the moon experience different problems than mars rovers. They have to withstand hot days and VERY cold nights, solar wind, cosmic radiation and meteors. Mars rovers only have to deal with re-entry and dust.
I'm not worried about artificial intelligence, it will never happen, fortunately for us. There is however a very slim chance that machine and organism will merge to form cyborgs, but we're not there yet.
I saw all those launches "live on TV" and we never doubted what we were seeing. Other hoaxes are well-documented, such as Peary's claim to be first to the North Pole. He got pretty close, but they had to turn back, so they faked the last bit, saying they'd covered an impossible distance in too short a time. NGS perpetrated the lie, as Peary had relatives on staff. The moon landings, well, they seemed real enough. Easier to DO it than to FAKE it. But 9-11 was clumsily multi-faked.
@A4moondoggy Yes especially when you have war criminals like Rudolph and Von Braun giving you these rockets. Honest to God what a fucking moron you are!
Nobody ever went beyond Earth's magnetosphere. Some Apollo missions had astronauts taken to space (to Earth's orbit) while some others went out empty . The so called "Lunar landings" were proven hoaxes and today are just an old joke.
Uh.......sort of.......if by that you mean actually landing. There were two practice shots to the moon to go around it, then orbit it and test the LEM. They left the command module on Apollo 10 and got to within 45,000 feet of the surface in the LEM.
The space shuttle if you ask me was a poor substitute for these beauties. How I wish I'd been alive to see one launch. I wish they were still in service.
makes sense., definitely pays off, its doable, and its not crazy to think that they couldn't afford it, they put billions of dollars in to classified projects anyway, so the money is there to pay for it.
@szore It never happened. You can't hide a Saturn V launch. There are too many prodessional astronmers and amateurs watching the skies. Tthe amount of personnel and work it takes to create such a program could not be kept secret. It took almost a half a million people to make the Apollo moon landings happen. To do something like you are describing would take significantly more people than that. As G Gordon Liddy said. "Two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead."
@Synthetrix I guess that makes sense. I just cannot believe they just dropped the moon the way they did, it makes me suspicious. But then, there were, if you remember when the shuttle first launch, payload after payload after payload that was 'top secret'. Could they have been assembling components to fly to the moon and establish a self sustaining colony? ...its not impossible...

Thanx for the post! ;-)
I still say, call me nuts, but if I was the US military, or national security, whatever you call it, they saw the success of Apollo program, and they said, "shut down the civilian effort" then it went black, and the us put bases on the dark side of the moon. probably burrowed, and have a huge base there now....
I will never forget Christmas Eve 1968 when I got up early to watch Apollo 8 to go into orbit around the moon.We lost contact with the spacecraft at the exact second they said.We had to wait about a half hour or so to see if thay were in orbit and right on time we made contact.Apollo 8 was in lunar orbit.Later that night Earth people had a telecast to see what it looked like.Mountains and craters up close as they flew over them.Before they signed off they started reading from Genesis 1:1
@GGE47 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."They took turns reading several verses as i was so awed by that and what America had just accomplished.You could see the horizon and the line of darkness that separated day and night.What a broadcast.Later that night they ignited the Apollo rockets on the other side of the moon,and they were headed back to Earth.They came down with such precision it was a perfect splash down.They boldly went where no man had gone before.
42 years ago, our civilization demonstrated that it was capable of sending people to the moon without the internet, BluRay, iPhone, or even a digital calculator. Sad that all we seem to be capable of now is spending more money than we ever will be capable of paying back, and fighting amongst ourselves.
@UNTC321 Apollo 8 was the very first mission to orbit the moon, astronauts were Frank Borman, Jim Lovell & Bill Anders. During Christmas 1968 they beamed back the first pictures of the Earth from lunar orbit. If you know anything about the history of the year 1968, you know it was a terrible year. With the success of Apollo 8 it can be truly said that "Apollo 8 Saved 1968"
@BRUTUALTRUTH, the launch of a Saturn V is fake? I saw Apollo 17 launch with my own eyes. Millions watched Apollo launches with their own eyes. How does one fake the launch of a Saturn V? Please enlighten us.
@BRUTUALTRUTH, have you ever been to the launch of ANY rocket? If not, you may not be qualified to call it a magician's show. I have touched a Saturn V with my own hands. It was viewed by millions, it left a trail of smoke, it disappeared over the horizon, it was tracked on radar by the USSR and UK. It created a noise which shook windows. So, you explain the trick. I want to hear that! It was no more a magic trick than your own birth was!
As a few others pointed out here to the doubters, if we can do this the moon is just another step. And to those that suggest this was all a fake video, they weren't alive at the time. I personally saw 2 of these launch, that is a memory that I will probably take to the grave, it is REAL!
And, I should add, thanks for this and all the other uploads ugowar. You and LunarModule5 and zell321 are to be commended for your efforts. Truly spectacular. Perhaps FalconX/Dragon will become enough of a reality to make a return to the moon possible in the foreseeable future.
Are there any other videos that have as high a resolution of the imagery for SIC-SII staging? That looks like it was taken from an airborne camera - wasn't there an airborne lightweight telescope or something like that used for some of the launches? I wish the camera had stayed focused on the launch vehicle instead of the falling SIC stage?
This rocket was called the "old man's rocket" because it offered a much gentler ride, believe it or not, than the Titan rockets used in Project Gemini.
@ugowar (concerning topic from Roundaboutway)I read along w/ ur arguement against this person and it seems to me that this person really needs to get a life and face the fact that we DID go to the moon during the late 1960s-70s.There is no denying it.The evidence highly outweighs the excuses people make up to make others believe what they saw when 1st the first humans walked on the moon in july1969.there are also many flaws in the reasoning that pple hav to believe this was all a hoax. thats BS

I don't think anything that soldier did afterward would fully expunge his culpability, though no doubt you and I would have done the same in his situation.

@reluctable Hind-sight is always 20/20. I dont deny everyones responsibility for preventing the rise of evil in the world. The events of the war in Europe could have been prevented, if not by the German people, then the world at large. Germanys re-armament was in violation of the Treaty of Versialles and should have caused European nations, including the USA to act. Had they done so Hitler may have been stopped before millions died. And Germany may have been the first to land men on the moon!

@THEORIGINALEXSCAPER I didn't say anything about anyone preventing WW2. I said he is liable for his own actions during that war, while acknowledging that with a gun to our heads most of us would act the same.
However caught up in events and powerless he may have been, he has a degree of culpability in thousands of civilian deaths and I don't personally feel his incredible contribution to humanity after the war is enough to make me a 'huge fan'. But that's just my opinion.
reluctable 1 month ago
@reluctable No rise of Hitler, no need for guilt caused by liability. No WW2, no culpabilty for civilian deaths resulting from advanced weapon designs. Prevention of evil in power, no guns held to ones head and crisis of conscience. I'm certain not a day went by that von Braun didnt regret his involvement with the Hitler regime, and his post war efforts reflect that. To seek redemption following errors in judgement, forced or not, is worthy of admiration and respect. Thanks for your opinion.

recovering fom Pearl Harbor, fighting the war (winning), and supplying nations such as the UK and USSR with needed war supplies and weapons. Defeating Nazi Germany (and in effect their rocket scientists) and the claim to German technologies is nothing to trifle at. As far as Vangurd, there were two competing rocket interests at the time, the Army and the Navy. Politics chose an untried Navy team. It failed. USSR was motivated to develop ICBMs first, which should tell you something.

@samvall, I see this "the germans did it" sentiment on every video. If what they created was adequate to go to the moon, they wouldn't have spent billions on new designs. Brauns designs were not capable of reaching the moon, and using your logic, the credit should go to the chinese for having the 1st inventions that worked like rockets, along with fire works. But their "innovation" created nothing more than poorly controlled ballistic missiles. Get over it..
rfsent5 3 weeks ago
@samvall, also much innovation, ingenuity and design work went into the control room and guidance systems. Yes, steering a craft all the way to the moon requires computerized guidance computers. Something the American's created. And furthermore, the computers were created guess where? In American, and it wasn't by Braun. That along with the software are not german innovations. Again, sorry.

@rfsent5 Flying to the moon does not require "miracle" accuracy as some people believe. I'm sure you could drive from California to New York, park in your driveway and stop within inches of your intended spot. That is not "accuracy", it is (1) Mid course corrections and (2) A good knowledge of your destination.

Yet 40 years later
they cannot go more than a fraction of an inch away from the football

@burnstagger Actually the characteristic blue glow is a result of the propellants used, and can be seen on any LOX/LH2 engine. I can't say how much the J-2 engine used in the S-II and S-IVB stages of the Saturn V inspired the SSME, but they operate very differently from one another. The SSME uses a staged combustion cycle, while the J-2 uses a gas generator cycle. In that way, the J-2 probably had more in common with the F-1 used in the S-1C stage.

I think the only reason why the US landed on the moon was just to say that they were the first to do it. No one wants to be second, and that's why other countries aren't wasting their money.

@TheSpiritof1969 I have also heard that fact quite a few times. The only resource of value on the moon to this day is He-3. Alas, we haven't yet developed fusion reactors that harness energy from this helium isotope. So we won't go back to the moon any time soon.
However, I disagree with your statement about robots. Robots are still dumb, unless controlled by humans. But if they are remotely controlled by humans, those machines are not "robots" per se.
yellowmetalcyborg 9 months ago
@yellowmetalcyborg
By robots I do of coarse mean remote controlled landers and other equipment such as rovers. From the moon there would be none of the problems experienced by the Mars rovers where they have to be parked up seasonally and dust sticking to the solar cells and not least the time delay.
Maybe one day artificial intelligence might happen. God forbid it does. Would it be a new evolution that will take the spirit of man to the stars or our own nemisis?
TheSpiritof1969 9 months ago
@TheSpiritof1969 I see. But rovers on the moon experience different problems than mars rovers. They have to withstand hot days and VERY cold nights, solar wind, cosmic radiation and meteors. Mars rovers only have to deal with re-entry and dust.
I'm not worried about artificial intelligence, it will never happen, fortunately for us. There is however a very slim chance that machine and organism will merge to form cyborgs, but we're not there yet.

I saw all those launches "live on TV" and we never doubted what we were seeing. Other hoaxes are well-documented, such as Peary's claim to be first to the North Pole. He got pretty close, but they had to turn back, so they faked the last bit, saying they'd covered an impossible distance in too short a time. NGS perpetrated the lie, as Peary had relatives on staff. The moon landings, well, they seemed real enough. Easier to DO it than to FAKE it. But 9-11 was clumsily multi-faked.
