  • I really love your Documentary

    i'm entering the National history day thing this year and i thought that i would look through a few examples and i really liked yours

    i was hoping i could get a few tips on narrating?

    i'm having soem trouble with it

    and how did you find such great footage?

  • Hundreds of launches were made in recent years of satellites and rocket payloads. Many foreigners were taken to space from Russian territory. Russia today does not look to the Moon but to Mars. In Moscow a simulator is to prepare cosmonauts for the trip.

  • this is so helpful!! thankyou so much! :)

  • @TheColdWar1945 No... but it is more likely that the US faked landing on the moon.. than that...

  • Great documentary. I am actually doing a National History Day Project this year (Theme is "Debate and Diplomacy: Successes, Failures, Consequences") with similar theme to your project. It mostly focuses on the Eisenhower Administration's work during the Space Race.

    Good job at giving information. I am surprised you did not move on given your documentary (maybe works cited page or process paper?). If you were in Nebraska, you would have definitely moved on. I have even qualified for Nationals.

  • @theschizoidman ...That is because it is a high school project (or middle school. Given his voice I would say high school). As he said in the video, this was for the National History Day competition. I understand your opinion, but keep in mind that they ARE high/middle schoolers so it is normal for them to sound like this (I actually sometimes speak the same type of way for my documentaries in the competition, but not so fast :) ).

  • The Soviet Union collapsed because Gorbachev banned vodka.

  • If you ask somebody from the USA, then they'll answer that the USA did. Ask a Russian, and of course they'll say that Russia/the USSR did. Ask anyone else, and they'll probably not care.

  • Excellent video.

  • Great video thanks for uploading :)

  • The concluding statement here bears scrutiny. I believe the USSR would have accomplished their own lunar landing had the US not done it first.

  • Excellent doc. But i disagree on the voice. He's not up to the task. Too wordy, too fast, not enough enunciation or variety in enunciation. Clearly he's reading. Narrators must never seem as if they are reading (even though they are). It sounds very amateur, like high school project with that narrator. Sorry, but that's my opinion.
