What's your vfavorite Apollo moment? - Shoutout to BetterHelp, check them out here: www.betterhelp.com/primalspace
12 when the lightning struck the Saturn V twice
Ok
17 when they took the first and only scientist
My favorite moment would have to be Apollo 13's ability to handle the issues that kept them from going to the moon, and still making it back home safe and sound. As upsetting as it would've been, they handled their stuff perfectly.
The one that has always fascinated me the most is really more of a series of events, that of Apollo 13. It seemed impossible that those men would be returned home safely, yet, they were.
My favourite Apollo moment was when Neil Apollo said "It's Apollo time!" and Apolloed everywhere.
truly one of the apollo moments of all time
👏👏👏
This one has to win, it's so bad it's funny
*_BRUH!_* ... You need to Apollo-gize NOW for that bad joke that was quite phukkin phunneh!
Hahaha shut 🤣
"NASA. Can we go to the Moon" NASA: We have the Moon at home. The Moon at home:
My favourite Apollo moment was the photo of Eagle with Earth in the background. It is just so fascinating to imagine what it must have felt like for Michael Collins to capture everything and everyone, other than himself, that ever existed in that single photograph.
Better help is a scam dude
So was the moon landing (I'm kidding)
My favourite moment was when neil stepped on the moon for the first time but notbecause of the words but because of the feeling it must be to be the first person to ever go there and actually seeing how humans made it to the moon is just incredible and inspiring.
Agreed. I can only begin to imagine that feeling! Pretty amazing.
But so sad that people think that moment is fake
My favorite Apollo moment was when Charles "Pete" Conrad, Jr. landed on the moon in Apollo 12 and his first words on the surface were “Whopeee! Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me!”
My favorite Apollo moment is probably really cliché, but Apollo 11 landing on the moon will always be my favorite. Hearing "The eagle has landed" makes me tear up every time.
Definitely a monumental and memorable moment! Thanks for sharing!
My favorite Apollo moment was Apollo 13 making it home safe and sound. The engineering it took from Houston and the astronauts was borderline miraculous, it makes me believe humanity can overcome any obstacle with enough determination.
My favourite Apollo moment was when the mighty Saturn 5 launched for the first time. The sheer size and power of that rocket was felt that day
Another great moment!
I think my favourite moment is on Apollo 15, when they drop the hammer and the feather and they both hit the surface at the same time. It’s just so cool to look at!
My favorite Apollo moment, is actually 2, when the world came together to see first step on the moon, and when the world came came together to wish & pray the 3 men of Apollo 13 home safely. What a world this could be if we could all come together like that, everyday!
Favorite Apollo moment: During Apollo 15, before the first EVA, David Scott did a "stand up EVA" where he opened the docking hatch on the top of the LEM to observe the surroundings from a higher place. This stand up EVA would last 30 minutes and would help the two astronauts to point out the most interesting geologic features on the lunar surface surrounding the LEM.
My favorite moment was seeing the moon buggy for the first time. Never had I thought that not only we will walk but drive on the moon. Please make a video on the moon buggy!
My favorite Apollo moment was when they dropped the hammer and feather at the same time, and they fell at the same speed.
My favorite Apollo moment is an image of earth from the moon.
Perspective is everything! Love this!
Best Apollo moment was when Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt started singing; I was strolling on the moon one day :) In the merry merry month of December No >:( May :( May :)
Favorite Apollo moment is probably the improvised map fender
Your modeling is seriously crazy. I just came across your channel and just looking at all of the modeling work is super interesting by itself.
my favorite moment is actually that photo you are giving away. i know thats cliche but unlike the recording of the moon landing, that photo is crystal clear. it shows man's determination to travel into the universe, but also shows they stopped to take note of what they had achieved.
Thank you so much for your comment! We really are so determined and I can't wait to see where we go and what we discover next. Good luck in the giveaway!
My Favorite Apollo moment was when David Scott of Apollo 15 dropped the hammer and eagle feather on the moons surface, what was rly cool abo that moment was that they both dropped and touched the ground at the same time!
The best Apollo moment has to be the TLI burn from Apollo 8. This was the first time humans had ever left the Earth's sphere of influence and started our journey away from our home planet
I concur.
Technically The Moon is still within Earth's Sphere of Influence since The Moon orbits Earth and not The Sun. Humans have never left Earth's Sphere of Influence.
@MDE_never_dies Its just a description of the OVERRIDING influence. At a point between the earth and the moon, the Apollo spacecraft were attracted more by the moon, than the Earth.
@@smeeself Then say "The first time Human's entered a region of space dominated by the gravity of another body but still orbiting The Earth" 😁 In the same way we are currently within the Sun's Infuence, and the Milky Way Galaxy's Influence, even though the Earth domimates here.
@MDE_never_dies Exactly, as the influence of gravity is ever extending, to note that everything is in play every time you speak of gravity would be pointless 'Sphere of influence' is a recognised term. It donates a practical and calculable place in space. You can look up the time and position of the transition into and out of the moons sphere of influence in each of eight Apollo missions. There are times in the transcripts where they even take note of it. To dismiss its practical use, you would have to be debilitatingly pedantic, or perhaps just a troll out for some fun? 🤔
My favorite Apollo moment was when leaving the moon for the final time on 14 December, Gene Cernan spoke the quote, “We leave as we came, and, God willing, we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind." This Symbolized the start and end of the Apollo missions, showing NASA's final time on the moon just 52 years ago.
One of my favorite Apollo moments was the image from Apollo 8 titled "Earthrise." It was one of the first displays of how small our world truly is, even when looking at it from our closest neighbor.
This is fascinating! I've never heard this story before. Thanks!
Growing up in Flagstaff was really cool, lots of science related things there including where Pluto was discovered and the Cinder lake area was another cool science place. My family and friends and I would always go ride our dirt bikes near there and it was always super cool to see that and think about how it was an important piece of space exploration history.
My favourite Apolo moment is astronauts cutely falling while trying to walk on the moon.
Haha a great one.
Favourite Apollo moment; TLI for Apollo 8. The first time we left home. 🌏
Great video as always, wish you uploaded more, all the best from here in the UK!
Thank you so much! I really wish that I could upload more as well haha So glad you enjoy the content though. It really means a lot! Cheers!
Hi i have a question do you love space ?
my favourite apollo moment for sure, was when the apollo 11 landed on he moon, and the first steps were made, it gave everyone watching a sense of happiness, achievement, and gave a message that everything is possible with hard work, and for sure it gave everyone a blink into the space wandering future humanity, i am a 15yr old and the video of apollo 11 still makes a different feel even now, looking forward to more missions like that🌕🌍
Certainly a memorable and monumental moment. I love that it continues to inspire the new generations to explore further and be on the look out for the next big discovery. I can't wait to see where we go, and what we discover next! Thank you for your comment and good luck in the giveaway!
My favorite Apollo moment was every launch as the sheer power of the Saturn V was beautiful.
💯💯💯
My favorite Apollo moment was the Earth rise. It is my favorite because it is a picture of every human besides the one’s taking the photo. I think that moment showed humans how insignificant we are but how much of a impact we can have.
So true. Perspective really is everything and it's a perspective we don't get to see very often (or ever in person).
Earth does not 'rise' on the Moon's side presented to Earth. It's always visible.
@@leonardgibney2997 do you want to join my space group?
Hi do you want to join my space group?
My favorite Apollo moment was the voice transmission "Houstin, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed." I was twelve years old in 1969 and that memory has been clouded over time, with movies and documentaries over the years but it is still awesome!
An amazing and memorable moment for sure. Thank you for taking the time to share and good luck in the giveaway!
My favorite Apollo moment was comm from Houston: "Okay, Neil, we can see you coming down the ladder now" and the fact that most of the people on Earth could realy see him live. It must have been huge moment for everyone watching.
Nice conceptual video i hav ever seen, glad finally got the best channel that I had more intrest on....!! ❤
Thank you for watching!
@@primalspace Its my pleasure I appreciate that even in the busy schedule ur able to spill the joy over people's face by ur conceptual space news.👌
Your content is just amazing I can not even blink
Thank you so much! It really means a lot that you enjoy it!
My favorite Apollo moment is a tie between the hammer and feather experiment, and the golf ball
Two classics!
Astronauts riding rovers in moon, quickly adapting to low gravity is my favorite! Gonna be great when we go there and find those own human artifacts there
Agreed!
My most favorite moment in Apollo missions was the astronauts imitating a kangaroo on lunar surface and collapsed 😂
Very good video. Thanks for your work.
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it!
really interesting video, keep up the good work
Thanks so much. Really glad you enjoyed it!
There is not a single moment.... But every moments in Apollo missions are my favorite❤... That majestic take off Saturn-V, that landing, Neil touchs the surface, return back to home everyone... How incredible we are!!!!!!
Intriguing. I like this.
My favorite Apollo moment has got to be Apollo 13 making it back to earth safely!
An amazing and memorable moment for sure. Thank you for your comment and good luck in the giveaway!
My fav Apollo moment was the first Goodyear tire on the moon!!!
I remember a key man involved in this was Dr. Farouk El-Baz - a space scientist and geologist. Egyptian born, he was affectionately known as 'The King' - (obviously with King Farouk in mind) - by the Apollo astronauts and others in the program. The King enjoyed this cozy and well-deserved title.
It's amazing that they recreated the craters with the same proportions !
Pretty mind-blowing stuff!
@@primalspace you mean hole-blowing stuff?
My favorable Apollo moment was when the escape module was tested and the rocket literally failed, spun around unplanned until it rapidly disassembled itself. The escape system worked flawlessly!
My favourite Apollo moment is astronaut Gene Cernan and Schmitt singing “I was strolling on the moon one day” while walking on the moon during the Apollo 17 mission.
😂😂😂 love this so much!
The favorite moment is that how the astronauts were able to solve the mudguard issue using a duct tape.
The whole of the lander was made from tinfoil and duct tape 😂 peice of garbage, as if that was pressurised,..
Enjoyed video was stationed in Arizona (Luke AFB) in the early - mid 80's. Been to Flagstaff remember all my time there. My favorite moment is Apollo 10 actually seeing the moon up close and the lunar module (on TV) was a big deal for me!. Today's lesson brought back some nice memories; TY Be Blessed.
Hey can i ask you a question do you love space or do you prefer just to see some videos about it
both@@XX-nz8jc
need both to get your message and/or lesson across@@XX-nz8jc
@@salvatoresignorelli7933 do you want to join my space group?
Rather than training astronauts to be geologists, they should have trained geologists to be astronauts.
They still needed test pilot skills, as borne out by multiple failures in flight. Easier to train test pilots on the few geology skills they needed than to get a geologist through a decade of flight experience. With larger crews there is now the ability to have mission specialists with credentials in the field of study and only a few of the crewmembers need to have the aviation and test pilot background
NASA finally did that with Harrison Schmitt, the last man thus far to set foot on the Moon. He is a geologist whom they trained as an LMP
Love your videos bro keep doing more ❤😊
Thank you so much! Really means a lot that you enjoy them!
I dont really have a favourite Apollo Moment because there we're so many great Moments.
So true. And hopefully so many more to come!
My Favorite Apollo moment was when they use the LRV for first time in the Apollo 15 mission.
This channel has some seriously cool stuff 🎉
Thank you so much! So glad that you're enjoying the content!
My favorite Apollo moment was when Apollo 12 got hit by lightning a minute after launch. The whole platform went down. And a few moments later Houston came back with “Try SCE to Auxiliary.”Pete Conrad promptly replied “What the hell is that?” Finally Alan Bean cried “I got it!” Bean was the only person who recalled the location and purpose of the SCE control. 😅 Also, I looked up on Google Maps and found Cinder Lake. It’s right south of Sunset Crater. In fact you have to drive right by it to exit the park. We were there in the spring and drove right by it! If only I had known what was there. 😢
My favorite Apollo was the 1974 Buick Apollo
My favorite Apollo moment was the first landing. It was so emotional
A great one! Thank you for your comment and good luck in the giveaway!
Wonderful video. I never knew that NASA used a replica of the landing area here on Earth. My favorite Apollo moment was Neil Armstrong's statement: "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"
A monumental and memorable moment for sure!
Hi i have a question do you love space?
My favorite moment must've been watching the astronauts walk on the surface... It's so fascinating
Agreed. A Memorable moment for sure. Thank you for taking the time to comment and good luck in the giveaway!
It's hard to find a single favorite moment, but since I have to pick, I'll choose the time they photographed Earthrise in Apollo 8. It's the first time humans arrive at lunar orbit, and recording of them taking the photos is humbling. "Look at that picture. Wow, that's pretty!" "Don't take that picture, it's not scheduled haha" "Hand me a roll of color quick"
Favourite Apollo moment is definitely the first walk on the moon. 'One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind'! A huge step indeed! The re-entry of the Apollo 13 crew also gets a huge mention, what an achievement to bring those astronauts home alive!
And we never again visited after then. Why on Earth did we never revisit the moon?
@@mrvivek815 After the Apollo 11 landing there were 6 more trips to the moon with 5 further landings. At least attempt to keep up. Take care.
@@TheWokeFlatEarthTruth When did humans last step on the moon?
@@TheWokeFlatEarthTruth 1972. And then, we decided not to go? For explorers like us humans, that is crazy!
@@mrvivek815 Thank you for your reply. Not even slightly. It is not simply a matter of "deciding" to go or not to go. A large number of conditions and variables had to perfectly align for this to be possible. The Apollo Program, landing men on the Moon and successfully returning them to Earth has few, if any, equals in terms of human exploration. The sheer level of manpower, resources and finance needed for this endeavour as well as political will and imperative mark this out as a unique event without comparison. The Apollo Program required over 400,000 people in the US to be involved. These included some of the top engineers, chemists, Physicists and other subject experts that were available. In addition there was the involvement of some 50,000 individuals oversees in such tasks as the various tracking stations of the MSFN (Manned Space Flight Network) right across the Globe. The MSFN used a network of giant satellite dishes and radio antenna such as Goldstone (70m), Parkes, Australia (64m), Honeysuckle Creek, Australia (24m) and Madrid, Spain (34m). The Saturn V Rocket was manufactured by multinational companies such as Boeing, Douglas and North American Aviation. The Landing Module by Grumman and computers by IBM. Dozens of other firms were involved. NASA budget was 4.41% of the Federal Budget in 1966 compared to 0.48% in 2020. The Apollo Program lasted over a decade and built upon the work done in the Mercury and Gemini Programs. During the Apollo era NASA had basically just one aim, to fulfil Kennedys promise of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth". The geo-political situation of the 1960's and the Cold War also gave huge impetus to the project. Although all 6 Moon Landings occurred in the presidency of Richard Nixon they were very much in the public mind associated with JFK. Nixon was not particularly keen in continuing the Apollo Missions. By 1972 the Apollo Program had fulfilled all of its objectives and more. The space exploration agenda moved on to satellites, Skylab, Voyager Probes and the Space Shuttle. Thankfully after over five decades the scientific, financial and political conditions have aligned once again and the Atriums Program looks set to return humans to the Moon. Take care.
NASA designing the indigenous Lunar Modules for series of Apollo missions were my favourite moment
I have never heard this story. Thanks for bringing it to light. Is Cinder Lake still there? Can one visit it?
Yes it's still there. It's a rec area now, most people bring dirt bikes and quads and such to explore the area. Just look up cinder lake Flagstaff Az and you'll find it.
apollo 17 had some great moments. I remember specifically that the astronauts sang on the moon. pretty funny
haha love that.
driving the moon car on the moon surface looks very cool! My favorite!
💯💯💯
Given the advantage of height to determine location on the moon, they could have devised a small mortar launcher for an impact protected (bouncy) Polaroid camera that would always point down, that would snap a picture as it fell and be on a light tether for easy recovery. That would give the astronauts a view from above to map their location.
Amazing!❤
The last apollo mission was my favorite, although it was The last moon mission i was exited for what is going to happen next...
So true. I can't wait to see where we go and what we discover next!
My favorite apollo moment was the first golf shot on the Moon!
Haha such a good one!
3:02 the app is a little slow to load, and the video streams can be meh due to distance. But it's goof to have in hand to send messages and throughts when you have them. 😊
My favorite Apollo moment was the multiple times Jack Schmitt fell over on the Moon.
In his very bendy pressurised suit 😂 you fool
my favourite apollo moment is "houston we have a problem"
My favorite moment was when Apollo 13 landed back on earth even though they didn't got to the moon
My favorite apollo moment is from Dave Scott, who drove the first car across the lunar surface
My favourite part about Apollo is when Neil Armstrong said “Houston, Tranquility base here. The Eagle has landed.”
A truly memorable moment. Thank you for your comment and good luck in the giveaway!
Favorite Apollo moment has to be splashdown of Apollo 13. What a marvel that they were able to get crippled spacecraft back to earth.
My favorite part of the Apollo missions and all missions to space in general, is seeing the engineering hurdles needed to make these dreams of discovery come to life.
😂 yet we can't get out of low earth orbit now you brainwashed 🤡
@@metalicminer6231Your tin foil hat is on too tight.
@@smeeself it's thicker tinfoil than the lunar lander was made out of...
@@smeeself come on think of some science to rebut me, you lot are so clever...
@@metalicminer6231 Rebutt what? You haven't said anything.
My favorite moment was the very small render of time that the lunar lander was descending and there was a chance that it could just break when it touched down if just one little thing went wrong.
tfw you know that clip of "meticulous" rock collection is actually Neil stuffing rocks into the grabber because he forgot until the last minute before they left. Love that guy.
In the next episode, please talk about warp drive, a mysterious topic about long-distance travel that is higher than the cost of light❤
My favorite Apollo moment is from Apollo 13. Although the “Houston we have a problem” line is iconic, my favorite moment is when they had to fit a square peg in a round hole (repairing the CO2 scrubbers). It really shows of NASAs adaptability and improvisational skills
my favorit moment is the save return of apollo13!
Excellent presentation.
Thank you so much. Really glad you enjoyed it!
One of my favorite Apollo moments was me being 5 years old and trying to stay awake to see Apollo 17 lift off (the only nighttime blast-off) but falling asleep on the couch after numerous delays. Then, my dad waking me up the next morning and telling me the Astronauts were safely on the way to the Moon.
My favourite apollo moment was about the eternal lines written on the plaque left on the ladder of Eagle... "WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND" That is what makes the Apollo program for the whole humanity.
I travelled with 8 Boy Scouts from Mississippi to Minnesota on July 19 and 20, 1969. In Duluth, we checked into the motel room and turned on the television, just in time to hear and see Astronaut Neil Armstrong say, "that's one small step for man......" We were so pumped. I will never forget that moment which connected us with all humanity. Ralph
My favourite Apollo moment has to be the transcript of Collins nominating Aldrin for the oatmeal eating contest. Reminds me they were just real, daring, and funny young men.
I know the giveaway is over, but my favorite 'things' about the Apollo missions were the Lunar Rovers carried on Apollos 15-17. Not only were the astronauts able to travel farther from the Lander, the Rovers provided remotely controlled color video...👍
My favourite Apollo moment was Neil Armstrong stepping on the moon!
A classic for sure! Thank you for sharing and good luck in the giveaway!
My favourite moment was when the Apollo 11 astronauts were jumping around and having fun😄
🙌🙌🙌 enjoying every moment!
My favourite moment was when the picture was taken of Robert Stewart testing the new Jetpacks by NASA. It was a legendary moment to be drifting along space without being connected to anything. It is one of my all time favourite pictures.
It will forever blow my mind with the fact we have had multiple people walking (and driving!) on the moon.
My favorite moment has to be Armstrong‘s famous words 😅
The funniest part is how often it’s misquoted. People say “One small step for man…” which sounds more profound, but actually Neil just said “One small step for a man”
My favorite Apollo moment is watching them plant the flag. It felt so good.
Absolutely!
My favourite Apollo moment was the rescue of the Apollo 13 astronauts!
💯💯💯
My favorite moment was Apollo 13 " Houston. . . We have a problem!" That moment just seemed to go on forever.
So true. A memorable moment for sure. Thank you for your comment and good luck in the giveaway!
When they played golf on the moon😅😂😂 I love it
My favourite Apollo moment was SCE to AUX
