"An Ending (Ascent)" from "For All Mankind

[dks13827]

I lived through all of this, it was truly wonderful. All the time !

[nschox]

This is not "An Ending (Ascent)", it's another track. The movie also used some Eno music not on the Apollo soundtrack. I think this track is called Fleeting Smile and is available on Eno's Music For Films III album.

@nschox It is there at the beginning and at the end, but you are right about the middle.

its so sad to think mans efforts to go to the moon our species the human race with all its flaws all it genious all of its beauty can be reduced by the conspiracy theorist and for what? book sales attention what?

[davearallen]

Yes there is someone watching us. How could you doubt. I was alive in 1969 and I was glued to the TV screen watching this. Too incredible, too beautiful. We are a unique species but we're still part of the whole. We just need to remember that.

There is no running rocket motor, no rocket lift off looks like that, there has to be a rocket to lift it off the suface, and there is none. All rocket motors start by igniting and then the thrust increases, before being released from the launch pad, or as here the lander base, and that just does not happen here, so no i don't buy their noon landing at all.

[davearallen]

@jenleex What are you stupid. You are thinking in Earth's gravitational field. What if it is one sixth that of Earth. Does it take that much thrust? You aren't thinking!!!!! The one argument that is most convincing to me is this. The Russians were trying to get to the moon before America. In 1969 they stop trying. Why? Because we had already been there. Think about it.......

@jenleex the rocket is not burning in an oxygen atmosphere

An ending ( ascent ) only plays for about 2 seconds..

Have the Criterion blu-ray; awesome. Best space documentary ever! Don't believe the doubters; I witnessed the space program from day one; it was cumbersome; often quite boring. And believe me: special effects in the 60's were lousy. Even in 2001, while it's beautiful and extremely proficient, it's one if a kind, & fairly easy for Scifi buffs to tell that they are watching effects.

[baza7008]

it's extremely nice and humbling to see a reminder at the end to remember those who made that ultimate sacifice with there lives so others may learn and succeed on the most hazardous challenges we could ever take on.

so peaceful

amazing

i love it

[XrGrimreap3rX]

One of man kinds greatest achievements, just a pity that after they landed on the moon, that was it. It's been 30 or 40 years since they landed on the moon and not much else has happened in terms of moon exploration. You would have thought that we would have buildings on the moon by now.

[TheProffesor10]

@XrGrimreap3rX you should read the book "moondust : in search of those who have fallen" by andrew smith. he interviews the surviving apollo members and they discuss matters such as these. im barely a 3rd way through the book but it is very enjoyable

@XrGrimreap3rX 17th December 1903: Wright brothers to Apollo 11: just over 65 years!

42 years later - ?

[nova423]

What is the name of the tune that plays after they take off, when Gene Cernan starts speaking? They play it earlier in the film as well, around 41 minutes in...

[Synthetrix]

@nova423 That song is called "Quixote" and is by Roger Eno, Brian Eno's brother. It can be found on the album, "Music for Films III".

[nova423]

@Synthetrix Thanks.. that song rocks...I dont even like ambient too much but I love that tune..

[nova423]

What is the name of the tune that plays after they take off, when Gene Cernan starts speaking?

[wdamian]

Best film about space exploration ever.....untouched.

[slicer03]

[Blink182DudeRanch]

ENO IS GOD

It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small. - Neil Armstrong

[Ramirezx6]

Zjawiskowy material...

[ifuckingfarted]

Eyah this movie is Beautiful.

[JONNOG88]

Just orderd the DVD of this.

[dempsi1997]

Well, you'd hope it would be the best possible use as this is what the piece was written for.

[hazza120]

Whats the name of the song that plays through the majority of this vid? After An Ending Ascent, obviously.

[SMGleannanIolair]

It's called "Quixote" from the album "Music for Films, Vol. 3". Looks like the tune is credited to Brian Eno and his brother Roger.

[thehoaxbuster]

Brilliant. Brilliant movie.

[gogliajuan]

this aint even real

[TreborRebore]

[MrMIXX2009]

[mdlima6]

[TheApolloChannel]

This Video & Audio are truly Beautiful! Talk about stuff that Just Makes ya Wonder? Whats It All About? Will We Be recognized for everything We as a Race have done over the Thousands of years we've Died, Suffered, Be Born & Lived? I Wonder! Is there anyone Watching Us? I Wonder Is There anyone or Thing Waiting For Us? I WONDER?

[homefry39]

Have you watched "What the bleep do we know down the rabbit hole"?

[TheApollo11Channel]

[bennie128]

@TheApolloChannel i always think that "what if someone, somewhere, is thinking the same thing we are. Is there life out there, where is it?"
