Apollo 11 - Go You Beaut!
July 16th 1969 - Australian radio station 2GB broadcast the launch of Apollo 11.
In the studio, in Sydney, was Brian White (top left), and, reporting live from the Cape, was
journalist Derrin Hinch (top right) , talking via a telephone.
Here is the entire broadcast Derrin sent that day, which, in my opinion, ranks as one
of the more memorable commentaries from that particular day in space history.
If you want to get a sense of the feeling and atmosphere that had built up in the weeks
leading to the first moonlanding and was being felt by over a million people who stood
and watched Apollo 11 liftoff, listen on......Go You Beaut!

Fantastic! At that moment, I was 15, in driver’s training, driving on streets for the first time, on Adams Road, crossing Wattles Road at liftoff, right by the field where I had launched many a model rocket. And you can bet we had the radio on in the driver’s training car!!! Go you beauty!!

I never tire of watching a Saturn V launch. Amazing engineering, science and courage to attempt the landings. The era of America reaching from moon was the best. Just go back and think of Alan Shepard, those Redstones weren't exactly flawless. The early days of America's rocketry was pretty dismal.

Mr. Hinch mentioned the traffic, with maybe a million people in the area to witness the launch, I can only imagine. The worst traffic I've ever seen was following the launch of Discovery on February 24, 2011. I'd be surprised if there were a quarter of the spectators as there were for Apollo 11, and yet, it took 5-6 hours to make it 35 miles (55 km) to my hotel room. It would be awesome to watch a launch from the Press Site. My closest position to the pad was almost 12 miles. To be 1/4th as far away!

This is missing from spaceflight and rocketry today. The excitement the feeling of intrepidation the admiration and historical significance of what is being done. U can hear this in the voice of Derrin Hinch. Today it is mostly a crowd of vapid social-media influencers who mis the basic historical and technical knowledge about spaceflight. They will just cheer on anything just for the clicks. Lacking any understanding or respect of what was done by the pioneers over 60 years ago.

It’s amazing that we accomplished this in the span of a little over six years; from the time that President Kennedy delivered his speech “We Choose To Go To The Moon” at Rice until we actually did it. We were a more unified country then. I miss those days.

I'm 77 and remember watching this launch and the first steps taken on the moon a few days later. I have followed the space program since before the original Mercury astronauts were selected. I watched Alan Shepard, John Glenn, and Gus Grissom flights as well. I later got to see the Apollo 10 astronauts at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego where I was stationed .Great memories.

Great to hear this. I’ve never come across that recording in any form before. Us Aussies are pretty proud of the small role we played in the early space program. I wish we’d gotten our act together since then! Derryn Hinch later became a bit of a shock jock here in Melbourne, and even entered politics about a decade ago. He absolutely loves a headline. 😂 Thanks for posting LM5!!

Fantastic find Simon. It's great to hear the sky's passion from down under. Some people in the US used to say that Walter Cronkite for CBS was too passionate, but believe me cronkite had nothing on this guy I wish that people today would be as passionate as he was, maybe it will happen when Artemis returns to the moon? A unique and great find to add to the collection. Keep them coming jim

question: what about this little cap at the very top of the rocket: it is removed somewhere before the very launch. What's the use? at 00:01:20 btw: superb sequence of the first stage detached
@lunarmodule5

The top of the Launch Escape System (LES) had a "Q" Ball - it had eight holes in it - kind of like aircraft pitot tubes which provided data for guidance if the LES was used during flight - this excerpt is from Discover Magaine "The Q-ball cover was two halves held together by a 2-inch rubber band with a razor blade wedged behind it between the halves. Wire rope connected to both halves of the cover and the razor was routed through a pulley on a crane at the top of the launch umbilical tower, then down a tube on its side. A weight at the end of the rope rested on a lever in the tube. The lever, controlled by a pneumatic solenoid valve in the Launch Control Centre, would rotate when activated from the ground, letting the weight drop, pulling the rope, severing the band, and separating the cover from the rocket." whole article is here - www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/apollos-life-saving-q-ball
