Man On The Moon - Apollo 11- Cronkite Broadcast Pt4

[hannable70]

What a lot of people don't realize is that Armstrong actually said, "One small step for A man, one giant leap for Mankind." A communication error glitched out the "a." It gives the quote more meaning.

[DS127]

@hannable70 He meant to say "a", but an analysis of the recording shows the time between "for" and "man" is too short for an "a" to fit. Maybe I'm just used to the recorded version, but I think the intended quote is a bit cheesy. Though what words wouldn't sound trite or banal? Without "a" the quote feels more abstract, like man has accomplished much but this is only a first step, and with the intended quote's meaning still being implied.

@DS127

I believe Armstrong has always maintained he did say "a man" and that a split second break up in transmission caused it to be lost.

Two Russians dont like this video

Seeing Nixon talk to the astronauts makes me sick - he is a main culprit is sacking the space program.

Neil Armstrong: One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

Buzz Aldrin: Magnificent desolation.

[MrBennetzen]

Guess who didn't see it live if at all?

Answer: Soviet Union (USSR)

[wardenphil]

@MrBennetzen I heard that 25 % of the world's population did not know this event happened.

[MrBennetzen]

@wardenphil Then in that case we need to start educating and inspiring the population to take up flying into space instead of Hannah Montana.

[wardenphil]

@MrBennetzen The 25 % was composed of China, North Korea, Albania, and North Viet Nam.  Still, you do have a point. On another video concerning Apollo 13, I was very impressed with the questions the reporters asked. I don't see today's reporters being able to ask questions like that, and even if they were, they probably wouldn't bother because most of the public would neither care about or understand the answers.

[vaj99]

whats the longest they spent on the moon?

[dsavix4]

@vaj99 I believe it was about four days by Apollo 17. They had a buggy with them too.

[zombiepi]

GET THE CONTINGENCY SAMPLE, NEIL!! lol

[thevin69]

people who think this is a hoax are stupid because if it was a hoax the russians who were trying to get their before us would have exposed it. You stupid idiots see a conspirousy in everything . You must have borring lives

[un4g1v3n1]

OMG. I bet those old test pilots get a nice woody everytime they realize how many morons still believe this bullsh1t!

[acidjazz0971]

I wonder why they never went back on the moon...do anybody knows another moon mission? Thank you

[norm58]

Yes, Apollo 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17

[ediself]

yeah norm58, but that was all before 1975....

[59945601]

Theres another scheduled to start in 2015 I think

[Rainwhisker167]

I was only three years old in 1969, but I do remember well the later missions, and being a child and looking up at the moon and marveling what humans had done...

[seanigor]

i loved this at 12 years old, and still love this wonderfulness.

Using the same energy/money/commitment/excite­ment to solve the energy/global warming issue... we have unbelievable abilities to reach beyond what we know... in nine years we went from wah? to landing on the moon. So let's galvanize the same energy to save us.. in a 'sexy' way.

[Scientior]

@seanigor

It's even more mind-boggling to realise that in only about 60 years they went from flying for the first time to landing on the moon.

[norm58]

I was 11 years old and I saw that live on TV. My whole family was totally in awe and we just couldn't believe that we were living in a time where man would be walking on the moon and would come back to talk about it.

[un4g1v3n1]

And you should still not be believing it. If you were such a gullible nob norm!

[pk500]

Still a mind-boggling accomplishment, 40 years ago. America needs something like this now.

[un4g1v3n1]

It's mind-boggling to realize how easily fooled you are!

[lander4545]

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbitor has photographed 5 module descent stages sitting on the moons surfice from the Apollo missions in 2009. You can also see this debris from some of the Earths most powerful observatories.............you stupid moron!

[MrBennetzen]

@lander4545 To Bart Sibrel an the other moon hoaxers including Bill Kaysing (who also claimed that NASA murdered the entire crew of Challenger because the teacher Christa McAuliffe was going to blow the whistle on NASA): You Lose!

[karim3343]

@pk500 the world needs something like this now.

[macca191]

I echo your enthusiasm hughesms. I salute the previous generation for their audacity and determination.

[nomulamadhavareddy]

superb

[hughesms]

This is a great video of the moon landings. It gives you a good perspective on the real time events that took place.

I wasn't around in 1969 yet i watch these images and I am profoundly moved that we as a civilization achieved that feat.
