James Burke and the Apollo A7L spacesuit

[PoorSong]

Нужны ли еще доказательства того, что flying to the Moon, is a fake?

[Daluketh60]

cumbersome well at least i'm not the only person that uses that word.

[tuttt99]

They just don't make TV like this anymore!!

[soberek]

No name tag on the suit?

[Doctor699]

I think James May based his presentations on the same style as James Burke here.

[EGMAG]

How could anyone take highly accurate pictures of the moon when wearing that clumsy outfit?

[BigKwell]

@EGMAG You have to remember that gravity on the moon is a sixth of that on Earth, so it would be more than enough.

[EGMAG]

@BigKwell is a sixth of <<

And the camera would be so clumsy on the moon to manipulate,

He looks like a young Henry Kissenger

[openminded1313]

Was Henry Kissenger ever young? ;-)

[mfnickster]

I'm pretty sure it's just the glasses. :)

I was only 4 years old when this documentary came out and I remembered it to this day!

The part I couldn't figure out until today was why "the guy" [James B] was showering at the end of the lesson- that's a 4yo for yah...

Distinct piece of history here- exceptional find to the person who originally posted this!

James Burke is a marvelous teacher and presenter. Wow, in just a few minutes he's clearly and entertainly explained what goes into this incredibly sophisticated sartorial necessity for astronauts.

You think we landed on the moon? Why would our last visit be 1972... I smell some USA "public relations" work here...

[jerryaltman]

They never explaiunned, and I saw many documentaries about spacesuits, how the zipper do not allow any leak of air.

We see bewhind there is a speciall zipper or something like that, to allow the person to get in the suit.

I can see why it takes years to put on and take off that suite lol.

[sigge951]

when the helmet is off, looks like austin powers when he is in space

[gravityboots]

MOON BOOTS! super cool!

[tuttt99]

I remember watching this when I was little. Didn't know this still existed.

Thank you so much!!

[metallicmickey]

Never thought I'd see that again! Thanks for posting it.

[avgadget]

Very Cool thanks for posting I never knew there was so many parts to it

[shubus]

Damn! Wish I'd seen this in 1968-72 so I could have appreciated then what the astronauts have to go through.

[SailorBarsoom]

While it's more of James Burke than I ever wanted to see, it is a very good description of the Apollo suit.

[tuttt99]

I dunno he's kinda cute, in a nerdy sorta way...

[SailorBarsoom]

LOL

[ghostfacekhila]

I'd blow em

[dcb1138]

I was terrified he was going to take those diapers off. The long johns were enough for me.
