Mercury thru Apollo NASA History Part 1

[DeedsResearcher]

Let this be thoroughly understood: The first Free human being to be in Outer Space was an American. So far, the ONLY people to walk on the moon have been Americans. You want to talk Russian technology? I'll show you Sputnik. American technology? Landing on the moon and returning safely to Earth several times.

I love this despite the audio is a little echoy

[Afrocanuk]

The Russians got the head start, but the U.S. got the trophy. LOL.

is the part at 7.20 true

Armstrong is one hell of a pilot. His performance manually landing the LEM for the first time ever in real conditions of hard-vacuum and 1/6G, to accurately judge distances in the bleak monochromatic lunar landscape with no recognizable visual references, and watching the very limited fuel....

Knowing if any thing goes wrong, it's "game over" for him and Aldrin 300,000km from home. Couldn't imagine myself in his place.

One for the books.

0:33,look closer to the house !!!

The irony is that America's superiority over the Soviets in the field of nuclear weapons proved to be a setback once the space race began. The US had designed nukes that were lighter, so there was simply no need to build missiles with much payload strength. The Soviets on the other hand, needed more powerful boosters to carry their larger nukes, which gave them an early edge in the space race.

6:18 UFO flyby, with the command module tracking it! WTF!?

[doormagic]

@cheapsilverware

For NASA is a bird that came out of orbit.

There astronauts who assume the existence of UFOs that's no longer secret!

[trespire]

@cheapsilverware Come one ! That's no UFO !! use some common sens.

A simple explanation is its some bit of debris that come off the command module, most likely a bit of ice shaken loose by the maneuvering rockets.

[Musicman81Indy]

Did you insert an echo into all the air to ground communication, or is that the way this video was to begin with?

[ohiostmarine29203]

RIP To all those that gave their livesso we could walk on the moon.

[whatthehellbrosef]

kill yourself

[jfm010]

Of course they didn't. Since the moon is made of cheese it would melt if one would try to land using a rocket ship.

[O8SERVER]

Put your tinfoil hat back on, fucktard.

[EpoBot]

You know, if you watch really closely, you can see giant alien skyscrapers on the moon photos. Hard to see them you say? That's because they are made of glass!

(i did not even invent this one myself btw)

[dplocksmith91]

@Cosmored Stop listening to Rush Limbaugh. He's insane. But then again, so are you, so I guess that balances things out.

[Krimzon07]

man that first space walk *shudder* i would of been scared shitless to do that fear of falling to earth I suppose

[toddsmitts]

@Krimzon07 It doesn't work like that. Also, you're tethered to the spacecraft. A bigger worry, as the Gemini astronauts soon learned, is exhausting yourself from over-exertion. Moving around in zero-G, as you might imagine, is incredibly difficult.

[zorbazig]

Great video, thanx for adding it !

[rookieArmada]

great video man!

[lohrtom]

Why would I? Isn't there a dutch You-Tube?

[Nielzep]

this video is just a collection of all the good things of the US ( except the apollo 1 fire offcourse) in the space race. Don't forget that the russians were the first to put a satelite, a livin' creature and a man into orbit. Whit this kind of videos you will believe that the US were the best in space technology and that they are the best in the world . They are not !! They never made it to the moon!!

[zmatt]

So do they teach ignorance in Belgium? I hope you honestly don't believe that bs. But yes the Russians did beat us early on but they lost a great deal of lives in the process.

[Nielzep]

the only thing that nasa had was the studios in hollywood !

[toddsmitts]

No amount of tangible evidence will ever satisfy most conspiracy theorists. You could stick a Saturn V up their ass and blast them to the moon and the still wouldn't believe it.

[smokinjoe106]

Good one. That made me laugh. :-)

[trespire]

@toddsmitts Theorist this is Huston, your go for orbital insertion :-\

[dplocksmith91]

@toddsmitts it even took Aldrin himself a little while to convince himself he wasn't dreaming when he landed. The reason behind the conspiracy theorists, I think, is just the sheer inconceivability of the whole thing. It's just this sort of thing that made me wish Nixon had never cancelled the Apollo program, because commercial spaceflight is the only way the naysayers will really be satisfied that we even have the capability to put men on the moon. They'll have to experience it themselves.

[WizzRacing]

@dplocksmith91 The reason people think it was fake is because they have an IQ of a coconut!

[danastev924]

Yes -- The Russians had that head start, thanks to Ike's indifference. The U.S. make it a fact to overtake them, and did so quite nicely after Sputnik popped up. Didn't the Russians have areas where drinking vodka was permitted? Alcohol and pure oxygen is definitely a bad mixture of some pretty flammable stuff

[toddsmitts]

Actually a cosmonaut named Valentin Bondarenko died in a fire in 1961 when he accidentally dropped a cotton ball soaked with rubbing alcohol (not drinking alcohol) onto a heat element in a pure oxygen room.

Unlike the Apollo 1 astronauts who were asphyxiated and died within seconds, Bondarenko was burned all over his body and died hours later.

[toddsmitts]

Indeed. Most people outside the USSR have never heard of the Nedelin catastrophe in which about 165 people were killed. The Soviets covered it up for many years. Look it up.

[lohrtom]

Ignore this idiot. There are people that believe Elvis is still alive, the government was responsible for 9/11 and that the moon landing was fake. Where do you get this info? From Santa Claus?

[Nielzep]

you fool

[lohrtom]

Guess history and common sense are in short supply in good ol' Belgium.

[Nielzep]

Get a life you freakin' spaceranger . you thinck that you are american that you are more than other people huh? i'm affraid that i must dissapoint you my friend. If i was an american i would feel emberassed!

[lohrtom]

Wow, that is some inferiority complex you have? If you read closely, I never said or implied any such thing. But for you to deny history puts you in some pretty weird and strange company.

I'll forgive your terrible spelling since you are not a native speaker, but time for you to realize that while the USSR had a chance it really was the US that came out on top. And still are. Perhaps to be surpassed in the future, but the future isn't history is it?

[Nielzep]

maybe you can try something in dutch i don't thinck that you are a good speaker tough:p

but if you are so confident about your spaceshit why don't just just fuck off with all your american spacecowboys. Dream on i would say!

[lohrtom]

Space travel is about dreaming. Dream to travel beyond the stars.

[Nielzep]

you could say it in dutch maybe?

[youboobzer]

@lohrtom Can you breathe up there, with your sphincter wrapped around your ears?

[tek1001]

@Nielzep Oh boy, another moron who thinks we didn't go to the moon. Let me guess; you think the world is flat too.

[WHITECHILD2]

@Nielzep Yes they are not the best in the world! And yes had many disasters on the missons of the Moon! And it might be true that they never landed on the Moon? US will be destroyed by Russia, because God allowing that to happen! And Finland is mostly congured by Russia and maybe hole Europe on part of that too! And Russia will attack to other parts of the World, at least to the Israel and other Palestinian and also Muslim countries! In the Israel last Russians will be dead by wild animals!

[Octaviun]

at 00:08 theres a guy called gordon pooper!!! LOL
