Recent Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Views Of Apollo 12

[ApolloWasReal]

I love these views of the Apollo landing sites. The mind boggles at the thought of how they remained totally sterile for billions of years, with just the occasional random impact stirring up the dust, then suddenly became the focus of intense human activity for a day or a couple of days, and then just as quickly went back to being sterile and dead again...

Wonderful job GtP. And the music score is very appropriate.

[andschannll]

44 KM! .........those views are amazing great video:)

[JeremeK]

Awesome clear images! And the music is nice.

[1musicme]

Really good work here....but it seems some people are more consumed by the music choice than the content of the subject. My god such stupidity.

[GoneToPlaid]

@1musicme I agree, but a few of the music comments were somewhat interesting.

[yootoobridgeback]

@GoneToPlaid Hoorah!  Good on yer!

[BlisterHiker]

Amazing work again, GTP!

Your choice of music is perfect and gives those images eerie, unearthly feeling we associate with the era of the Apollo program.

amazing gone as always... merry christmas

[yootoobridgeback]

Well, GTP does it again! This is a wonderful piece of image enhancement work. Somebody give the man a medal! Talk about a Merry Christmas? I'd have to say this a wonderful online gift from someone who really knows what they're doing.

PS: BjornPalmen, you need to chill, fella! IMHO the music is largely incidental, it is the images that are the real artistry here. You do know where the volume controls on your computer are ...... don't you? ;-)

[BjornPalmen]

@yootoobridgeback Yes I know where the volume controls are and they do not help because the music is rhytmically wrong and imprecise.

Why not play An der schöner blauen Donau  which Stanley Kubrick did with great effect.

@BjornPalmen said: "the music is rhytmically wrong and imprecise."

Thats your opinion. (its not like philwebb59's introsong that sounds like a 90's synth being walked on by a cat (no offence phil :P )) the blue danube is a bit cliché don't you think? Jarre might be a bit too, but what about Tangerine Dream, tomita or Kitaro?

[BjornPalmen]

@Changis158711 The Blue Danube is _the_ space music. Stanley Kubrick chose it because it so closely describes the satellite in orbit.

Tangerine Dream describes fruit back on earth.

[Changis158711]

@BjornPalmen The Blue Danube is also _the_ Ice-skating music because it so closely describes the movements of a skater, or _the_ waltzing music because it so closely describes the waltzing movement.. etc,,,

[BjornPalmen]

@Changis158711 Émile_Waldteufel is well known for his waltz "Les Patineurs" (The Ice Skaters), composed in 1882.

The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss is about a river that isn't frozen enough. You can hear the skaters fall through the ice, in pairs: da-da-da-daa (blop blop) da-da-da-daa (blop blop)...

[Changis158711]

@BjornPalmen if we are going on what the song was made for, i cant remember the river being in space.. :P and yes, the falling through the ice bit sounds legit ;) atleast if it was a cartoon.

some examples: watch?v=NrR6nOXaXgA watch?v=nEnVnTyr3Y8 watch?v=3souxFjWgLk and my favourite: watch?v=zP8Kah6vXsQ

The blue danube isnt about a spaceship docking with a space station either ;)

[BjornPalmen]

Who is the tone-deaf person who chose Kevin Macleod's irritating music to this video?

[GoneToPlaid]

@BjornPalmen I am the tone-deaf person! I deliberately chose this score since it is reminiscent of the mysterious space/electronics age music which NASA used for their Apollo documentaries over 40 years ago.

[ProppaGannis]

awesome

[B0bMosley3]

...The great thing about this clip is that it puts paid to all the bullshit the Moon Hoax Morons have been spouting. Although not as much fun as it would be to bash in their thick skulls with a crowbar, it's still enough to kill their sick delusions. We went, here's the proof, deal with it.

[GoneToPlaid]

@B0bMosley3 These and dozens of other LRO images of the landing sites won't dispel Hoax Believer claims that the moon landings were a hoax. They claim that the LRO images of the landing sites are faked, regardless of the fact that it is impossible to fake the LRO images. Yet this is the nature of delusional mental disorder -- denying the undeniable, rather than confronting their false yet strongly held delusional belief systems.

[Deke101]

@B0bMosley3 Unfortunately, you are incorrect. Rabid moonhoaxer are quite a zealous lot. They will not have their pet theories dashed by silly things such as physical evidence, expert opinion, or even photography. It will all be explained away as fraudulent and faked. You see the problem is, they have alot invested in their zany beliefs and they will not easily give them up.

[Serpico261]

wonderfull!! Glad i found your channel

[GoneToPlaid]

@Serpico261 I am glad that you enjoyed the video. Apparently you viewed the video literally seconds after I finished uploading it!
