Just posting for anyone interested. Probably one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen, with unreal video and editing. It’s free to watch on the App Tubi.

Does anyone remember this game?

For those that were around for moon landing, would love to hear your stories #omega #apollo #theeaglehaslanded

A relative recently passed away and left this to my family. It now has a nice spot on our kids’ wall (which is space themed!). Anyone else have any cool family achievements they’d like to share?

I am a police dispatcher and watching all these old YouTube videos and documentaries I always have an ear cocked for the radio communications aspect of it. Listening to Mercury comms I hear communication that while not bad it is definitely in need of improvement. Chris Kraft is a personal hero of mine but that man did NASA a favor when he stepped back off the mic. Lots of ums and uhhs and redundant communications. Not terrible but very sloppy.

Gemini was markedly better but by Apollo they had it sliced down to a superb and efficient machine. If I could achieve the same level of professionalism with my cops on my police radios as Apollo did I would feel like I had done my duty. Charlie Duke is a favorite of course but hands down, the man that was built for being capcom was Bruce McCandless. He was as smooth as glass on the radios.

Anyways I was wondering if there was any documentation on the chronological improvements they made over time to the radio operations. Has anyone heard of anything like that?

I work at our local Hy-Vee grocery store here in my town. It's a HUGE Midwestern grocerystore chain in the States. Anyway, on the magazine racks by the checkouts, they had a really cool magazine that, I think, was from Time Life, about the Apollo Moon landings. If I see it again I'll take a picture of it and post it if I can. But in the morning, (Fri), I get paid, and I want to buy one if it's still in the rack by the checkouts. It really looks like an interesting read! Have any of you seen it?

A few folks have asked for more details on the functional replica of the AGC I’m building. I’ve put together a few videos of the effort to date I you want to follow along

Just curious: during the EVAs of projects Gemini and Apollo, was there any oxygen loss from the cabins of the Gemini capsules, CM (I think there was only ever one EVA from a CM on Apollo 9 to test the Lunar EVA suits), and LMs, or were the cabins depressurized somehow before the EVAs? If there was oxygen in the cabins at the time the hatches were opened (and therefore that oxygen was indeed lost), how much oxygen are we talking about for each craft? And were retro rockets ever fired to counteract the force due to the oxygen escaping from the hatch? Does anyone know? Thanks!

Was able to successfully load a 0001 into my Z register. Have some more testing to do and then try transferring data between it and my B/C register

You are given the choice of being on a Moon mission or Skylab. Which would you take? Why?

Lunar missions pluses… Flying the LEM! Driving the rover! Walking on the moon! Lunar mission downsides… Cramped living space for two weeks A bag and diapers for a toilet.

Skylab mission pluses… Large open living space including a toilet. Large area to play in zero gravity. Big ass window to watch the earth. Get to run the solar observatory. Slightly better food. Much longer mission Skylab downsides… Low earth orbit only. Lots of medical tests, blood draws, etc.

Personally I would lean toward Skylab mostly for the the comfort. Flying the LEM would be my huge draw for the moon. After reading Don Eyles Sunburst and Luminary I would love to give the improvements him and John Young had worked on a actual flight test.

I know it’s subjective, but how do the Apollo astronauts rank? Was there a pecking order?

ive read a lot about Stafford and McDivvit Being near the top. Do they get more “press” now since they didn’t get a chance to walk on the moon?

What skills or traits did the top guys have? Or what were they known for on an individual basis?

Who do you think didn’t get the mission they deserved? For whatever reason….excluding death

I think Lovell obviously deserved to land and have a clean mission

also think it’s a shame McDivitt didn’t get to fly to the moon. Sounds like he was generally viewed as above average amongst his peers

I am looking for some documentary to watch. It can be about any aspect of Apollo program but I like the technical things more. I did watch ''The Moon machines' and it was very good in my opinion. Any recommendation for documentary to watch? Ty.
