Apollo Program (ALL PARTS)
์์ค ์ฝ๋
- ๊ฒ์์ผ 2023. 09. 22.
- This is the dramatic story of NASA's Apollo Program, beginning with President Kennedy's ambitious deadline for a lunar landing by the end of the decade, in response to Soviet success with Sputnik and cosmonaut Yuri Gargarin. We look at how Werner von Braun, a former rocket scientist of the Third Reich, played a leading role in NASA's planning. After groundbreaking success with the Mercury and Gemini missions, NASA was rocked by the Apollo 1 disaster, in which all three crew members (Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee) were killed in an accidental fire on the launch pad. NASA overhauled its designs and methods to achieve a successful manned launch with Apollo 7. Then came the launch of Apollo 8 aboard the mighty Saturn V rocket - the largest and most powerful rocket ever seen. The mission was a complete success, culminating in the first manned orbit of the moon, and the capture of the legendary 'Earthrise' photograph by astronaut Bill Anders.
NASA's next challenge was to test the world's first true 'spacecraft' - the Lunar Module, as well as identify what risks the moon's unexpected 'mascons' posed to future Apollo missions. But in 1969, everything was in place for the Apollo Program to make history, with the first lunar landing attempt - a mission which would test the skills of crew-members Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins to their limit.
Following the success of Apollo 11, and the fulfilment of Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the Moon, questions hung over the future of the Apollo Program. With declining public interest in Moon missions, and government funding slashed, NASA focused on scientific research. But the final phase of the Program is best remembered for the dramatic near-disaster of Apollo 13, in which the ingenuity of astronauts and Mission Control was pushed to the limit.

Awesome as always!
Brother your video is nice i regularly watch your videos from 2years . you always provide nice and real content
You never promote fake facts about history in your videos. Keep it up bro
Excellent, really nice.
Could you do one about the Soviet space program? It would be a nice complement ๐ค๐ผ.
This was awesome can you please do a video on the Mercury astronauts next?
Why the channel is so eurocentric there is history in other parts of world too
You guys are what the history channel should be.
Well said
Hey hey
Totally agree
@Brad Watson Dude, please finish primary school before commenting.
This entire series was incredible, but what stood out to me the most was the graphics. The production quality you guys put into this is nothing short of phenomenal. This is one of youtube's greatest channels right here.
That's because nobody goes to space... so a CGI always takes the screen!
@INDRA LAKASHMAN @koubena kombi You two guys sound jelly.
@Koubena Kombi boy they had amazing cgi in the 60s..
Neil, Michael and Buzz were my childhood heroes. What an incredible team. No wonder they choose them for the first landing. An absolute legends
Grissom and Buzz were my favorites! They are true heroes. They did what they were told. Some day we might be able to go beyond low earth orbit, but I am not holding my breath.
Agreed. I knew what an incredible pilot Neil was, but didn't know about aldrins knowledge of orbital mechanics. That's very cool.
I mean, if it was real, which it wasn't, of course ๐
(Joke)
As a long-term aerospace nerd I've read everything I could get my hands on and watched tons of documentaries on space exploration. I'd never have thought one could condense the Apollo Program into a one-hour presentation and touch on any meaningful portion of the story. You've managed it, though, with a great overview that hits all the milestones, covers the challenges and mishaps, acknowledges the contribution of those on the ground as well as the astronauts, and places the program in not only a technical but also a social and historic context. Brilliant!
That was a straight-forward, uncomplicated and thoroughly enjoyable account of the NASA program. Many thanks for airing this.
I love the "new" thing yo do by combining all episodes in series to one long.
Big shout out to the narrator! That voice could make anything sound epic and interesting.
It's not a new thing.
Iโm Iโm starting star in
Even if he narrated pornography?
Sounds like a young Magnus Magnusson. Icelandic/Scottish accent.
My immense gratitude. This is education, wonder, and art all combined into one unit. Please do know that these productions are so very well-made, and I imagine a lot of time and efforts would be put into them. To everyone associated with this channel, do take a bow, and once again, accept my heartfelt admiration and gratitude. History can be fun, as you symbolize :)
I appreciate all the time and effort y'all put into your videos. They're all informative and very well done!
Notice all those fake upvotes.
It's a real shame they got Von Braun 's name wrong, calling him Von Brown even with Braun on the screen, I don't know if it's just the usual A-merican arrogance or plans old ignorance.
Very poor show all the same.

One day I was so stupid that I believed man went to the moon!
@pasisovi you're serious?
@pasisovi get a telescope and find the module
So glad this video has more attention on it than all the other parts. This series was a bold and fun step in a new direction and it was incredible!
This is simply incredible! Iโve watched just about every documentary on the Apollo program, to the point of them being stale by now. What a refreshing take! The graphics, music, editing, and narration are the best Iโve seen yet!
And you still believe it?
@Michael N Amazing how some people today still believe in the manned moon landings.
@T mo Amazing how many conspiritards fall for the crap sold to them by fellow conspiritards.
Imagine the feelings of the Apollo 1 backup crew after the tragic loss of their fellow astronauts, knowing that they were to be launched in the next Apollo mission.
I can only imgaine the Commanders words to his men. "We're going into space to do the mission our friends couldn't do... When we get back, we're gonna have a drink of scotch and raise a glass to the memories of our friends... amen."
What was not mentioned here is that the entire space program was put on hiatus as an investigation and top-to-bottom review of NASA and the space program was conducted. It was some time until the next flight and the astronauts could at least know that the way missions were being planned and conducted had been changed.
Five of the thirty astronauts died during the Apollo and Gemini programs.
Aldrin was only on Apollo 11 because of the first two deaths in the Gemini program. (Look up Elliot See and Charles Basset).
Apollo had a 10% probability of losing a crew during the program - and the astronauts knew it. The actual failures that occurred were not predicted in that analysisโฆ
What a great condensed and beautifully presented timeline of these historic events. For people just getting into the history of space this is a great starting point at 54 minutes.
Nice comment but what's with those fake upvotes lucky guy?
@Aachoo Crony whats up with the no up votes unlucky guy?
I absolutely loved it!!
As a space aficionado, this presentation effectively condensed "The Apollo Program" into an easily digestible and highly interesting documentary.
Thank you very much!
Mark Simon (USN, 1981-1989)
I love that almost every Apollo documentary I've ever watched refers to the Saturn V as "the mighty Saturn V" because really, what word better describes that rocket than "mighty"?
If the the Saturn V is โmightyโ, whatโs the SpaceX Starship with TWICE the thrust?
Beautifully produced documentary! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing piece of history.
I was learning to design electronic circuits with vacuum tubes in 1965. They were definitely not what one would want to send to the moon. Transistor and integrated circuit technology was just evolving.
How old are you ? Then
@Ultimate Eintracht Pushing 80.
@Roger ok you seem to have a epic story
I m not denying it but just look at cockpt of command module and modern space shuttle..the latter one i think is what needes to go on moon not something like tin can with very few switches ,dials and gauges!!
@Thor Odinson dont understimate the sheer will of mankind
Very epic to watch this series all in one video without breaks and a overall viewpoint of the program in one video
I have watched dozens of documentaries about Apollo and had no idea Apollo 12 had been struck by lightning on liftoff. So cool how that was resolved quickly by a confident controller.
There were several other tidbits in this I didnโt know before - of course the best producers of historical content on the internet crushed it again. Bravo.
I love this!!! This is one of my favorite achievements to learn about. I admit I'm not big into cosmetology or astronomy, but the things we did. And the the things these people did with a passion and courage, is a concept I miss in this country today. I wish I learned about it sooner. Yall were my first window to the full story.
Iโve seen countless documentaries big and small of the early American space ventures up to the Apollo 13 mission, and every single time without fail, I am absolutely amazed by the collective brilliance, bravery and sacrifice from the thousands of people involved in those programs from JFK to Neil Armstrong to the engineers and scientists to those in manufacturing and on and on. Itโs absolutely astonishing.
The sacrifices of life are obviously the tough part to swallow, including of course the loss of animals which Iโm never in support of because of using innocent and unsuspecting life as though they are inanimate devices is disgusting move on our part but that heartless shit aside, this was one of humanities greatest achievements.
Unfortunately, we bailed on the moon after all of that. We could have been there with an enormous base for so long instead of just now planning to go back.
NASA's budget was reduced once the space race was over. They then diverted their budget to other science - Skylab, interplanetary probes, Shuttle, space telescopes. Which also matters when you consider all that was achieved over the decades. The shuttle was revolutionary but it wasn't nearly as simple as thought and it pretty much ate the entire budget from the 1980s onward, followed by the ISS. It's only now that we're going back to small space capsules that we can actually do something more.
Were coming back with the Artemis program
This is definitely the documentary I would show a room full of middle school students if I were teaching them about Project Apollo.
You don't care making kids believe men walked on the moon?
@Ari Goldfeld What is this supposed to mean
@Ari Goldfeld Perhaps it did soak up funding from other projects.
But what did they lie about?
Love your videos, they're very informative and enjoyable. The Apollo series are just brilliant, thanks. ๐๐
I remember seeing this live on Xmas Eve in 1968. My grandmother was ready to go with us to Xmas Eve church services. However, she lost her balance and nearly fell and almost broke her hip. I grabbed her arms and held onto her, called out to my parents and brothers for help. We decided not to go and placed her health and safety first. She was my buddy and role model and did not die until August of 1971 from natural causes.
She witnessed many important historical events between the years of her birth in 1887 until her death in 1971, including the Apollo 11 Moon landing in July of 1969, us kids being born and growing up, the Civil Rights Movement, school integration and so many other interesting historical events. She loved history and it was her love of reading and learning that led to many of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to succeed in life. She is still missed by many family members today.
12:30 The moments describing the Mighty Saturn 5 rocket were fantastic!
Yeah it gave me goosebumps
There is a US rocket ( star ship ) that is more than twice as powerful as the Saturn V. It will fly within the next month or so.
@william Greene
It's just not the same, though. Have you ever seen a Saturn V launch, either in person or on video? I don't think any rocket will ever come close to it, in terms of the sheer spectacle of launching. The sound of the turbo pumps spooling up and the igniters going off, to the rumble and shaking of the engines as the rocket begins to lift. All of those little things make the experience that much more amazing. There's just simply nothing else quite like it.
What the hell. This is better produced than hundreds of TV documentaries. Respect.
Excellent documentary! A great overview of a program that ranks amongst the greatest of engineering achievements in the history of mankind. Thoroughly enjoyed watching.
Simplifies a lot, but that's necessary to fit the story of that legendary program into under an hour. Fantastic documentary!
I remember sitting down watching this as a 5/ 6 year old at school and the lunar landing never gets old all these3 years later.
Amazingly well put together documentary, was glued to the screen the entire time, thank you.
This is a very well written and informative video. It was also sorta immersive in a way. Your videos are great!
Man you guys way to incorporate the sounds track with the original voice of Apollo 1 gave me chills. Because of knowing what is going to happen unfortunately. You guys deserve more views for your quality of work
One of the best documentaries I have seen about Apollo in a long time. Great narrator, music and graphics. The pace of the graphics and the narrator reminds me of the short movie about D-Day shown at Bletchley Park.
Imagine someone training very very hard for years to lift an unbelievable heavy weight despite everyone else saying he can't , after decades of extremely hard work and dedication he succeeds to do so in front of wvery one , and then some people show up and tell him : did you really lift that weight or you fooled us ! Ladies and gentlemen those doubters are the conspiracy theorists and the flat earthers . Imagine how the successful champion would feel after hearing that question .
Well flat earthers aren't the most intelligent people ever. They are jealous of the accomplishments of others that they couldn't hope to ever dream of.
What a time to go back to this series after the Artemis launch
Fantastic work. I love the narrator's voice. It's truly EPIC
Eric: It reminds me of John Hurt... a great voice!
What's a bot?
Imagine the pressure of landing on the moon for the first time, not only that but alarms going off all around you, computer overload and having to take over manual control to land safely in an area with lots of boulders.
The calmness in NA voice proved he was indeed the man for the job.
Love each minute of this amazing detailed explanation of how human brains have no boundaries and can achieve the unimaginable onwards and upwards always.
One detail that always seems to be lacking is that while after Apollo 1 - the air-mix wasn't pure O2 - it was pure O2 after liftoff. Also there was a spacewalk on Apollo 9.
Video author here. Yep that's all true. Unfortunately for time we had to cut some details. The Apollo 9 spacewalk is interesting but I wanted to focus more on the LM. You're right about the capsule atmosphere and perhaps it's a bit misleading what's in the video - as you say we only cover what the atmosphere was at launch, not in space.
@James Malcolm you did a good job regardless.
A incredible journey from start to finish, one I'd gladly take again
A incredible lie
@Michael N ๐๐คก๐ฉ
Brilliant.... I actually spent a long time without context for Gemeni, Mercury & Apollo Programs, thanks for the breakdown. Consider me enthused.
This was absolutely EPIC, im obsessed with Apollo and training to be astronaut my self, this was one of the most well done documentaries and so well covered about every aspect of tha topic at hand. Great job
This is well done and informative. I remember, as a kid growing up in the sixties, just how awesome and influential space flight was at the time. Think about its cultural impact - Thunderbirds, Space 1999, 2001 A Space Odyssey et al. Wonderful.
'A Man on the Moon' is a great book by Andrew Chaikin that goes into detail about all of the Apollo moon missions. I'm reading it for the second time.
So happy to be watching this in the new age of Artemis, and no longer just post Apollo!
Hopefully itโll have just as lasting of a legacy
Can't believe such a great quality content for free really man thank you and your team you guys are phenomenal
Just one misstep: it was a lie. Nobody goes to space.
@Koubena Kombi ๐๐คก๐ฉ
This documentary series is one of the best. Brilliant doc. Epic history tv is always gives best. This series bgm,graphics ,the animation all are brilliant. Huge fan of you from Sri Lanka โค๏ธ๐ฅ.
I canโt believe I waited to watch this! This channel is truly incredible. Had chills through the whole thing.
Been watching this so much Iโm getting close to memorizing the whole thing.
Yeah I was 14. Remember the science reporter julesx burgmen?
As long as you check facts and don't believe everything in this video.
For instance, the head designer of Apolo was called Von Braun NOT Von Brown, a very simple fact apparently overlooked but the makers. They even call him Von Brown while having Von Braun on the screen.. That is next level stupid.
โ@Peter Demkiwlol that's how Braun is pronounced. It's a German name.
How does this not have more views? Its so well made.
Because like 20% of the population think the earth is flat and space is fake. Not even kidding, a poll was done before and only 80% said they believe the earth is round lol ๐
The population is getting dumber.
This truly an unbelievable work you guys doing in this channel ๐๐ผ๐ช๐ผ keep up the great work and we are supporting you until our last breath.
Should we point out they got Von Brauns name wrong?
@Peter Demkiw no. We know it.
Itโs crazy that the Apollo 13 critical issue was so similar to Apollo 1, wires creating a current that ignites oxygen which explodes
I love these space documentaries. As a kid I was glued to the TV for each launch, lunar landing, and splashdown. I built Revell models of the Saturn V, the CSM am LEM. I also built a Gemini spacecraft. I was completely dialed in on all the Apollo missions. But I never heard about "Whitey's on the Moon." I don't think there was a single mention of that on the news. Walter Cronkite never got around to mentioning that...
Truly "EPIC HISTORY"! It just shows what humans could accomplish if would not have unnecessary wars!
Accomplish one of the biggest lies
@Michael N One of the biggest lies is you believing this was faked.
@Michael N ๐๐คก๐ฉ
Thank you thank you! Epic history, epically presented!
Best Documentary on Apollo I have ever Watched Thank you Epic History TV love from India๐

Wow i almost teared up 3/4 threw the documentary. It was very touching. You guys should do the space shuttle program all parts
Epic. Awesome documentary and commentary is top notch. I hope to see the Space Shuttle Program. As a kid of 90's I luved those launches.
A masterpiece of a doc, thank you for making this.
A masterpiece of lies.
If only they didn't call Von Braun Von Brown.. Ignorance is a thing.
@Koubena Kombi ๐๐คก๐ฉ
โ@Peter Demkiwthat's how it's pronounced. Braun is said like "brown" it's a German name.
really admire how you expanded your content and style. BRAVO EPIC HISTORY TV!!!
This is THE BEST Lunar Exploration documentary I have ever watched. Thank you, Epic History.
This was an incredible documentary. I watched after watching the Apollo 13 movie. Thank you!
This was spectacular. Very well made!!
That was a great explanation of the 1202 issue. Hadn't heard or read anywhere that intermittency was what caused Bales to call go on that alarm.
Stunning production , editing and footage layout.
The SCE to AUX is the call that made me think these controllers and astronauts could do anything. I was about 16 WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND Many times during my life when things got hard, I would think somebody on my team would have the answer because of this call and we would figure it out some way.
Very informative! Keep on making these videos!
It really does show how many brave astronauts,workers,scientists that pioneered the way to landing on the moon.
I remember when History Channel didn't have alien stories, Travel Channel didn't have ghost stories but places to vacation, and MTV only played music videos. Glad to see this video on actual history.
Cartoons were actually worth watching too ๐๐
The sparking wire was under one(1) astronaut seat, sparking each time he moved in his seat, as what set the fire in Spring 1967.
No no it was murder.
I remember watching space launches in the '70s thinking how cool astronauts were, I didn't know they were actually crazy lol
Epic documentary. Well done!
Watching this just hours before the Artemis 1 launch on September 3rd, 2022. What a ways we've come. Here's to a new era of space exploration!
Wellp it's gonna be on monday sooooo
Itโs been pushed again to November, but keep waiting! Itโll be worth the wait!
I have actually stood inside one of the five rocket boosters at Kennedy space centre in Orlando Florida 34 years ago when I went to Disney world and this massive giant rocket was laying down on the floor and it is insane the colossal size of the thing and each of the five boosters could easily swallow a London double decker bus sideways inside of the rocket casing how on earth this thing somehow frightening managed to take off the ground I do not know totally unbelievable thing too see for real with my own eyes just hard to believe it flies!๐ฒ๐ณ
Absolutely wonderful documentary. It was a virtual tour to the moon. thank you. god bless you.
As an aviation engineering student...this is beautiful.
If this was made by a documentary channel, I would have asked for everyone who made this video to be given a raise, but since it was not, I would request for them to have more views and subs.
You should know better... it was all a lie.
@Koubena Kombi ๐๐คก๐ฉ
Holy shit, the production quality! This needs to be on Netflix. Amazing work!
You don't like free stuff?
@Fromaggio VagiolaGreat channel, subbed. Thanks for the recommendation.
i learn more from one hour of epic H than 3 hours of history channel
I just found out talking to my grandfather that he was at Cape Canaveral on pad 23 when the Apollo one module caught fire. He was an asphalt construction paver working to repave the pads after heat damage. I'm not sure how NASA made space suits to fit such enormous balls these men had.
Can you do a Space Shuttle program? I loved this documentary of the Apollo missions! and i love to learn more!
This just confirms my theory that humans work best and most creatively when there's a time limit. Only taking nine years to essentially build a space organization from scratch and then accelerate to first place in a race to conquer space is astounding to me.
The inverse of saying "Humans are lazy until you give them a reason not to be..."
Sadly, it's so true...
Watching this as I gear up for the Artemis program. Good luck and Godspeed to the Artemis crews!
Wow! This is top notch stuff. 1969....I can still recall as clear as day being woken up by my late parents in the early hours (UK) and watching those ghostly images through sleepy eyes....I was hooked right there and then. I'm still finding out things I didn't know.....like the make-shift carbon dioxide filter was already in existence before Apollo 13. I also remember reading a few years ago how Armstrong and Aldrin were very nearly stranded on the lunar surface due to an ascent engine ignition circuit breaker switch being broken clean off by possibly Aldrin's life support pack. Apparently a strategically placed ball point pen came to the rescue. Again, thank you for an amazing quality production with wonderful narration and editing.
Just incredible quality the documentary series you make on any topic best on youtube by a mile
This video will blew my mind. Sometimes itโs just so insane to be on this earth and think about going that fast and far. Miles, and miles and miles.
Very comprehensive overview of the journey to put mankind on the moon. Really enjoyed it!
So you are a tv news believer?
Apollo 12 was actually quite cool seeing a moon rover that is previously launched. I hope the same thing happens with mars rover curiosity and perseverance on the future
Pete Conrad's first message on the moon is so wholesome and unfiltered joy

I have the silver book of the NASA anniversary, I've read it several times wince I was given it from my late father in the early 90s when I was a kid. The big Saturn rockets and the shuttle are my favorite things that NASA built along with Hubble etc.
Love these videos so informative
That was gripping, loved it! Don't think the Artemis mission to the moon will happen though. When astronauts are chosen for reasons other than what makes the missions work, another and more debilitating level of difficulty stands in the way of success.
Why do you assume the astronauts chosen for the next mission aren't fully qualified?
@TimReed22222 they are choosing them based on their race and sex.
@Mary Haddock Or maybe - stick with me here! - MAYBE they chose them based on MERIT without excluding women & people of color like they did in the early days of the space program.
And maybe you shouldn't make assumptions based on your own prejudices. The mission will go FINE.
"NASA have chosen to exclude white men as astronauts."
Mary, oh Mary? Anybody in there? The Artemis 2 mission's 4-person crew has been named. Two of them are white men (including the commander). Artemis 3's crew hasn't been named yet.
Good job Epic History TV !!!
This is not a KRclip VIDEO its a MOVIE, the best documentation about the history of the APOLLO program I have ever seen.
Some channels I turn down the picture quality to save data, but with this channel I purposefully check itโs set to the max ๐
Check lunarmodule5 and Homemade Documentaries. Both exclusively dedicted to 1960-70s spaceflights
amazing job Epic History TV thank you
Imagine what NASA could be with a fraction of the us military budget!
We could be on mars and beyond by now. It's a shame war ruins humanity. We could have achieved so much more.
It's a real shame that President Kennedy didn't get to see his words come to fruition.
This is a top-tier documentary. I'm even wondering how am I watching this for free.
