You should have seen it in person. I did from 3.5 NM in the VIP stands.

@ditheringtandog As for the Russian efforts, If Korolev had lived, had N1 not blown up taking some of the command with it, maybe they would have made it.There certainly were volunteers for a one way suicide mission, happily they where turned down, probably because the world was watching...

This was our nation,s science project. Too bad Barrack of the jungle doesm't have the insight to do the samething and go to Mars. It would take 20 years at least thiat would create some jobs

@LarS1963 A bunch of people would say why waste money on these amazing missions to the stars instead of spending it on sitcoms & reality shows.
Having a lot of fun and spending all your money isn't sustainable for very long. Sooner or later you have to get real and take care of the bills and think about your children and their children. That's why the era of the Saturn V is over.

@IASOU2005 mmmmmh, mankind has always wondered what was over the next hill, the more adventurous members had a look. As a result we have the pleasure of being able to sit at our computers talking from opposite sides of the world.

And this was done fourty years ago, by one nation!
Imagine what could be done today if we, the whole world, stopped spending all our money on bombs and guns and useless reality-shows!
Fabulous video!

@LarS1963
It was more of an international effort than it would seem at first sight
ie. German scientists and engineers (embarrassingly from the V2 project) British and (ex)Empire technicians and engineers from the then recently canceled Blue Streak etc Telecoms from around the world
Plus many others and not forgeting that big big push from the Russian side!
That whole generation was a generation of heroes for me, whether they actually went in to space or not...
