  • I really appreciate being able to see this for the first time. But could you please remaster the audio being outputting it to both right and left audio channels. It's monoaural due to the original broadcast.

  • Fake! It never happened.

  • @TheJoeyD27 RIGHT, THE MOON IS NOT EVEN REAL!!!!! i am not even real......

  • who dislikes this? WHO

  • I fell in love with America when this happened. I was an 8 year old English kid (son of a British army NCO) living in Germany (Rheindalen) I had been hit by a car and was in hospital in Waldniel. I watched this along with half the rest of the hospital on TV in the TV room at the hospital. It took me another 25 (33 years old) years to realize my dream of moving to the country I fell in love with when I was 8. I have been here 18 years and have never regretted it for a moment

  • NASA is going to keep up with other countries and now the privates sector. The only way to do so is to simply give them more money. During the Apollo era, NASA got 4% of the entire budget of the United States. Now, Bill Gates earns more per year then their funding. How can a high-tech space company run and do great things with a budget of only $18.724 Billion a year without having to make major compromises? With current trend of NASA's budget and Congress forcing them to stop projects that they

  • OK, so why are we talking about "God" and "How we could have saved tax dollars" not doing anything Apollo? This is by far the greatest moment in Human history. The was the moment we reached out to another body in space and landed on it. We, as Humans, need to applaud these people for being heroes. Don't argue about you mr beliefs. Yes the Obama Administration cancelled the Constellation Program (which I want to see happen by the way) and yes there are disputes on whether NASA is going to keep u

  • amazing! I remember it well, 9 years old. When we dared to dream and do the impossible. Now, look at us. No space program, a leftist in the white house, and hitching rides like third world bums on Russkie ships. Sickening.

  • @usaeagle1776 wasn't a "leftie" who proposed this whole program?

  • @sonnychiba77 : are you talking about Cronkite?

  • @sonnychiba77 no, JFK lol!

  • Mrs Armstrong is so sweet

  • Growing up during a time when ordinary men, were our hero's, I sat and watched a black and white TV late into the night, just to catch a glimpse of a man, an American, stepping onto the moon! What a great moment, in history, and in my own life, till this day, it brings back fond moments of a more positive time, when all was achievable.

  • I'm pretty sure all the numbers and vectors and all the was Buzz Aldrin talking, really Armstrong talked after landing. Neil had his hands to full to even worry about much else.

  • I was 2 years old, my parents stayed up at 3 AM to watch this live in France.

    USA is a great country, country where I live now, 2 hours drive away from Cap Kennedy in Florida.

    Thank you to all men and women who work so hard making the dream come true.

  • A great moment in US history. Sadly, we've compensated with many embarrassing moments. Sorry world.

    -A US Citizen

  • @myrtlebox a gerat moment in HUMAN history.

  • I remember watching this at the time. Was a great time for the US.

  • If goose bumps don't crop up at watching this so many years later, you are not human.

  • We could have cut billions in taxes if we never did Apollo.

  • @fvgdfbdokd Stupid comment, I'd rather have not gone to Nam or Iraq.

  • @fvgdfbdokd

    And we could have kissed goodby to all the technology spin-offs that were developed as a result of the space program and that we enjoy today.

  • @fvgdfbdokd Worth every penny. BTW - Bush spent 3 TRILLION on wars of no value

  • At 3:35 - I think that's Marilyn Lovell behind Armstrong's family. Recognize her from the Apollo 13 movie.

  • Watching this at the time the Shuttle is in orbit for the last time just blows me apart. Shuttle program is over, the entire Constellation program is killed before birth, Russians have taken over all responsibility for the ISS and all manned space flights. Chinese are taking huge steps in their manned space program, Japan will soon join, the X-prize was won already 7 bloody years ago. What happened with all your pride? Why have you let that pussy whip asshole "democrat" become your president???

  • @soberek - The last sentence of your comment places the blame in entirely the wrong place. Congress estimates $2bn a week is spent purely in dealing with the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq - enough for two lunar missions every week. The Iraq war was initiated by President George W. Bush in 2003 on the basis of bogus intelligence claims. It was unnecessary, it killed a hundred thousand people or so, and it is the main reason why the USA will not lead the next phase of space exploration.

  • @danielearwicker Which president and administration cancelled Constellation and all US manned flight program? I don't think Bush's did. Two: War in Iraq "ended" 7 years ago. Try placing your arguments against the Russia, China and private space industry. They all (righteously) laugh their asses off. Virgin galactic is going to score huge cash on space tourism, China and Russia will send people up, France and Japan will dominate satellite market. Soon NASA will mean shit. Don't You even care???

  • @soberek I love the quotes you put around "ended"! You must have heard how RIGHT NOW the US army AIR CONDITIONING alone for the mid-east operations is costing $20 billion every year. That's enough to build, outfit and launch nine Saturn V/Apollo missions, adjusting the cost to 2011 dollars. Just because that genius Bush stood grinning in his flight jacket in front of a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner, doesn't make it so. The annual deaths of US servicemen peaked four years after that "ending".

  • Philippians 2:8-11

    King James Version (KJV) 8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

  • It's so sad that how the up and coming generation of the 1960s created the counter-culture. This was the last major achievement of the greatest generation and... wow wow wow... Did they ever go out with a bang! It puts everything to shame the new generation of the day brought. Some of which we wearily bear the chains of today. But the greatest generation had yet one more little surprise in store to bestow upon us - Ronald Reagan.

  • Praise God? WTF? This is way the country is falling apart. Fucking Bullshit. You people are brainwashed.

  • @Death4Life69 your free to leave America

  • @kotraquin

    I'd rather see Jesus leave America. And actually... that is precisely what is happening, more and more every day. Religion is dying on the vine in the USA and Europe... and I for one am delighted.

  • @Death4Life69

    you need jesus

  • I wish I was born earlier so I could have experienced this first hand.

  • This is not the live broadcast from 1969. The footage shot through the LEM window is film that was not seen until well after the astronauts returned.

  • fake

  • @EZDOESIT773 ignorant

  • @EZDOESIT773 Prove it.

  • @EZDOESIT773 jackass.

  • the single greatest achievement in the history of mankind.

  • If we humans ever find our way out of the solar system, then this will always be remembered as the DEFINING MOMENT in HUMAN HISTORY

  • The U.S. found evidence that martians landed on the moon but it's top secret.

  • What did Armstrong say after "contact lights" and before "Houston, uh, Tranquility Base here..." I have heard two different versions. This one sounds like "engine arm off" and NatGeo's Apollo 11, The True Story of the Lunar Landing (v=iSPQTfp5vJE) Armstrong says "engine stop" at 5:50. Which one is the right tape.

  • @matt00000000000001 "Engine Arm off".

  • This may be the one moment that I truly wish I had been alive to see.

  • Still gives me the chills!

  • Cronkite was a total tool for the globalist one-world Satanic NWO. Search youtube for CRONKITE NWO to watch him tell you himself. youtube /watch?v=RNJaIXXUUdc /watch?v=6MtGro4vRew

  • They came within 30 seconds of running out of fuel

  • just absolutely beautiful

  • The greatest news anchor of all time. He was to news what Carson was to late night tv. To bad he started throwing up liberal garbage in the last years of his life. Was a great man.

  • Walter Cronkite the greatest fuckin news anchorman of all times

  • "One small step for man. One giant leap for mankind".

    This was actually a flub. He meant to say "One small step for *a* man...". As it was said, or at least, how it was heard on Earth, made no sense, since man is synonymous with mankind. Years later Armstrong said he was so taken in the moment that he either missed the "a", or he said it and doesn't remember, and it was lost in the audio breaks. Interesting, though.

  • after 200,000 years, we did it!! I'm so happy to live around this time period that marked a milestone for humanity.

  • Did anybody know that NASA had plans in place to go back to the moon? These have been shut down by the Obama administration. He has given NASA orders to work with the Arab nations to help them develop their own space program.

  • Cronkite was good, like in this broadcast, until he started injecting his politics into things.

  • Why are today's Republicans so anti-science and anti-reason?

  • @medesdaddy

    Why did today's libtards kill the space program?

  • I love how due to the computer putting the craft off course, man had to take the controls, and thus man was soley in control of landing on the moon, not a computer. That just seemed so fitting to me and to the point of the whole mission.

  • America IS capable of great things. NO one can deny that.

    -More to come

  • Man do I remember watching this, Iam getting old!

  • lol, most trusted man in america

  • Mars next awesome!

  • The administration is going to end all this exploration.

  • Its one of those few moments in history when the world unites in an optimistic way. My Dad told me that everyone, including people at their jobs stopped what they were doing to see this moment. Priceless!!!

  • I cant imagine how they felt

  • anybody else not have any sound?

  • @shrontzy Sometimes these videos on Youtube lose thier sound, but it comes back by itself, try again later.

  • @EnsignInRed lies

  • @shrontzy its playing through right speaker only. it may only work with headphones

  • @iPerformed Ya...I'm getting it only through the right channel speaker. Weird. Oh well, at least I can hear it.

  • Comment removed

  • "The Eagle has landed" ...poetry

  • I remember watching this in our family's living room on our old 21" RCA TV. It was July 20, 1969, mid-afternoon in St. Petersburg, FL and the day before my 13th birthday. It was the most amazing thing ever seen on TV and especially at about 10 PM that same night when the astronauts walked on the moon. And they did all this with a total computing power less than that of a modern hand-held calculator. IMHO, this day was one of America's greatest, and certainly a day that I will never forget.

  • The computer aren't blowing up the Mars probes. Its the Martians doing it.

    We should send a warship.

  • manually is the way to go, better than letting a computer blow you up like all the Mars probes we keep sending

  • this is the original coverage?

    I thought they only had radio in the original broadcast.

    does anyone have the actual picture that people saw watching cronkite that day?

  • Yes, this is the actual coverage, in color (TV permitting). Television was indeed around in 1969.

  • yeah no shit TV was around in 1969 but they didn't have live images from the LEM as the landing was taking place, cronkite and the other guy were listening to the radio transmissions like I thought when I asked the question. this is just a tv show to commemorate the landing and the CBS coverage.

  • To answer your original question, they did in fact have cameras and Walter and the rest of the world saw the video live.

  • NEIL, MIKE, BUZZ!!

    YOU ARE GODS ON EARTH!!!!

    and no pitiful whiner can take that from you!!

  • I was 13 when I first watched this and its still amazing.

  • Neil, Mike, Buzz....you are GODS.

    You are GODS on Earth.

  • You are a category 5 retard.

  • Nibus9 you are the moron. I think in your former life you where one of the idiots that thought the earth was flat

  • don't sugar-coat it, my grading came out with at least 7.34!

  • Okay, dig, N.Armstrong flew this thing in, MANUALLY... the landing area by design was terrible... but an honest to god, rock and roll flyer drove it in. I mean, DIG.

  • Very sad Uncle Walter couldn't make it to Monday the 40th anniversary of the landing.

    Rest in peace, Sir.

  • Welcome to the future... 40 years ago.

    Still an amazing achievement - get chills watching it.

    Now THAT is Reality TV!

    Not sure what that stuff is on TV nowadays.

  • Walter Cronkite ("The most trusted man in America")back then, as always gave us great broadcasts of space coverage. This replay reminds me of man greatest achievement when we as a nation committed ourselves to this great challenge.

  • Agreed asa0207, we lost Walter today.. True legend.

    Damn what a grim year this has been by the way

  • @asa0207 If they had gone through with it as originally planned, Walter Cronkite would have been the first citizen to go into space.

  • 6:20 "...so easy" Yeah...so easy. lmao.

  • This is still so amazing to watch, even after almost 40 years!

  • In 40 years we went from a country that could build a machine that could take men to the moon to a country that can't seem to build a car that doesn't break down going to the 7-Eleven.

  • After all the bad things that happened in the 60's, at least the decade ended on a good note with this amazing event.

  • I always thought the that 60's ended at Altamont (j/k)

    I agree. This was a note of optimism with which to end the 60's.
