What is on the record are a lot of deceptively doctored and altered audio and video and bullshit Reddit threads. All of which have easily been proven to be false time and time again. It is amazing to me how people will go to extreme lengths and twist themselves into pretzels to dismiss the facts and then accept the slightest whisper of wacky conspiracies as gospel. We are devolving as a human race as critical-thinking capability shrinks generation after generation. Buzz Aldrin needs to punch a lot more people in the face. https://www.livescience.com/62253-buzz-aldrin-aliens-a-lie.html https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/moon-mars/a7166/why-apollo-really-stopped-at-17/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always had empathy for Michael Collins, the command module Pilot for Apollo 11, who stayed in orbit around the Moon while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin left in the Apollo Lunar Module to make the first crewed landing on its surface. To come so far and know he was not going to get to walk on it...it must have been like making the Super Bowl then watching from the sidelines x1000.

Meaning that whenever you click on the link you are seeing exactly what was happening 50 years ago at that moment. You can rewind back to catch what you have missed. Here's the website link.

If things went sideways for the other two trying to land and trying to return to the command module, then Collins would be the only one to be coming back...

Strider Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Remember, Michael Collins was essentially the pilot...he was the one flying them to the moon and back to earth. He got to fly the baddest muthafucking machine ever built...the Saturn V rocket. Also, he would be totally ALONE while on the dark side of the moon with no contact with Houston. It takes a special kind of personality/psychological type to handle that without cracking up. Without Michael Collins, the other two don't get home.

I can't think of a better way to watch all what happened that day, with Walter Cronkite leading the news broadcast! WOW!

SuperDave Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I was just a few years old and vaguely remember watching it. But I've always had quite an interest in our space program. I saw the Apollo 11 documentary in IMAX a few days ago and worth seeing. I think it was just in theaters now for the anniversary as already as a video release. I also saw the Muse To The Moon photo exhibition at the Met in NYC yesterday and well worth seeing. It follows man's infatuation of landing and exploring the moon from beginnings a few 100 years ago through the Apollo program. I got to see the launch of Apollo 16 in April 1972. Not from the KSC but several miles away on Cocoa Beach. Very cool and remember it well with a good view of the Saturn V rocket throttling up into space. We were close enough to hear it as well which was equally amazing with all the thrust power. One of the greatest moments for man in history for certain!

I took my nephew to see the Apollo 11 IMAX movie earlier this year when it was first released. I'll take him again this week when he gets out of summer camp. You lucky dog. I would have loved to experience the sight and sound of that Saturn V rocket launch in person. What a beautiful machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie is great and will see it again. Either I'll get the dvd or see if available on Netflix or Prime. I wasn't in Cape Canaveral for the launch but about five miles away on Cocoa Beach. So amazing and glad I got to experience this. Something I'll never forget. I probably got to see this for a couple of minutes before it disappeared high into the atmosphere. The thrust on the Saturn V was amazing and quite intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecil. Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 My memory was one wonder and awe, seeing man on the lunar surface. I was very young at the time but that memory stuck with me. Strider, I always wanted that Revell kit, around 70-72 my mother must have been wondering where all the washing up liquid bottles, shower heads and tin foil disappeared to....
