Imagine you and your pals have just came back from a mission that sent a man on the moon, but instead of a party upon arrival, you get quarantined for 3 weeks.

We are on the 50th anniversary of the Moon mission now.

Awesome. I was having trouble visualizing exactly how all the staging worked out. Thanks for a great video!

Good Work. when I was a kid, I listened fascinated to this music that my father used to play into our car, then played by Paul Muriat. So this video has brought two good memories to mind: the moon landing and the music I listened to then. Thx for that.

Great work Danoz, I've wanted a 'simple' full Apollo mission animation for ages of how all the stages worked ever since seeing the movie 'Apollo 13' - The Moon landings having ALWAYS fascinated me since I was 10 years old (living in England the time of the Apollo 11/Eagle landing) which in due cause made me want to to because a pilot (which I did, but only to civilian commercial level of 2300 hours, but had to quit due to health issues) and wanted to be an Astronaut, but alas, never reached that dream. Thank GOD at least ONE Australian has done so - so far!!

Time to replicate this in KSP :D

After playing Kerbal Space Program game I actually understand how they did this. It was an amazing feat of engineering, especially considering the technology of the time. Our biggest problem with space travel the the propulsion systems. Chemical rockets just can't be made energy dense enough. In fact I read the if the Earth's diameter were just 50% bigger, with 50% more gravity, it's would be impossible to leave Earth using chemical energy!

Excellent video, thanks Daniel.

Me: *leans about Moon mission and Michael Collins* Everyone else: *WhoSe MiCle CoWwiNs

one of the best youtube videos I have ever watched! Thanks a lot!

Glad I'm old enough to remember this and witness those low quality, ghostly images live from the Moon... Amazing what they did back then, like somebody said below.

Launching back from moon was not easy to understand for me in my childhood, many questions remained unanswered for long period.Very good animation indeed.

The moon is made of Swiss cheese and last night I'm pretty sure I saw a cow flying over the moon. Red wine fixes everything!

Great animation. Watching this for the first time as the Apollo 11 Moon Landing approaches its 50th Anniversary. Brings back the memories of watching the event live on TV half a century ago.

Travelling over 40,000km/h and landed to the moon just like that. Very impressive!

RIP Neil Armstrong

thank you for this animation, I really enjoyed watching it!

Greetings from , Charlotte, NC August 2022. Great animation.

@ 1:40 After the Command Module (CM) docks with the Lunar Module (LM), it shows the CSM burning its engines again! The lower stages already provided the thrust needed for the moonshot, once you're on your way, you don't want to waste more fuel, in fact you could overshoot and go drifting off into space! Other than that very nice animation.

Thank you sooo much. Finally an informative video of the moon landing. I find it troubling that in my quest for knowledge of this subject 90% of the videos and links are about whether or not we went to the moon. People need to do less arguing and more learning.

I Heard Piano Concerto No 21 By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

When people finally understand how one would actually go about to go to the moon, the ignorant claims of the crackpots disappear and you can study the mindblowing footage they got from those missions - footage from another world.

Thanks alot! That was awesome. I love the apollo missions, such an achiefment and adventure

Exactly the video I was looking for, very well done! The music fitted so well! Thank you!

Thanks so much for this. I am a huge Apollo fan and I was trying to visualize the staging via the movie "Apollo 13", but this makes it crystal clear. Amazing animation.

Nice work, the only resource I was able to find that clearly illustrates all the working parts in getting to the moon. Thanks.

Great vid, thanks. I saw 'First Man' last night and this cleared up a few things as to the process.

Thank you - this is so clear and well done.

So that's how they got back to earth! Always wondered as I'm too young to have witnessed the whole mission

The bookends of Apollo 11 are plentiful, but I've never seen the flight phases like this. Thank you!

This video confirms that with 60S technology we have never been there

Nicely done!

I had never seen a more perfect simulation for one of humanity's greatest achievements. So simple and yet so comprehensive and explanatory. Can't thank you enough for posting. Although I wasn' t born then, these moments inspire us all.

a work of art, your channel is so undrrated you deserve more subscribers.

Amazing work!

Dude this is great! I wanted to see the trajectory we used to get to Luna. Thank you!

Great video, thank you!

Awesome video! Great job 🤘🏼

I was eight years old , when Apollo touched down. To this day I rember the beeps in thier transmissions to earth Thanks alot beep.

Nice informative animation. Enjoyed, thanks.

Great animation, thanks for the effort.

awesome video, I've finally found a video of how the moon landing worked start to finish. great work.

That was excellent! Really well done!

Such a marvelous feat of Engineering. Hope it can be done again very soon. :-)

It just proves how great the technology was even back then when even the new SpaceX Dragon V2 does most of the landing the same, except uses rockets for a controlled landing instead of using parachutes

Well,, it took me 11 years to find this animation; very well done. I was surprised by the hold down arms between the lower and upper stages of the lunar module. I knew there had to be something, but I expected just small explosive bolts.

Dan - awesome awesome work man.

Great video. Puts it all together which you don't see often. Check out a doco called 'for all mankind' which is told by a lot of the apollo astronauts across the whole program. Amazing stuff and rare footage.

Needing my son to learn more about Apollo for school project, this was most helpful and quick for his short attention span, Thanks so much!

When I watched this, I though "Human beings are incredible". Incredible courage, imagination, skill.

Great little animation, well done

Many thanks for clarifying a few things for me :-)

Excellent animation and nice music (Mozart).

Never get tired of watching this. Thanks for the upload!

Great presentation. Congratulations!

Great Animation, I was searching animation which would explain how was the whole process going step by step. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much ! Maybe, you could play longer with some parts of docking, entering or reentering orbits, some moments are too short not allowing you to enjoy it at full :) But great work.

Nice work! Very cool!

There should be a 3d movie on this whole mission with all the details. It will be a big hit.

Great animation for that time. Cute animation in today's standards.

I enjoyed that. Thanks.

Now I know how the whole process happened. Thanks to this video!

Astronauts be lookin like two Michelin men.

Great way to describe how the moon mission worked

so good dan!!

Awesome animation !

Questions: 1:41 - how did the craft and LM rotate but maintain directional velocity towards the moon? Side thrusters? Not something the craft was equipped with. - how did the lunar module contain all the technology claimed from this moon trip: 1) broadcasting technology which integrated 3 microphones and several separate video feeds into one signal and send it back to earth? 2) fuel supply, combustion tech, coordination tech, communication with the craft orbiting the moon and a seperate for the communication back to earth, oxygen supply system, food and water, depressurization system???? Look at how much equipment is required at Houston's mission control. The lunar module needs the same amount to perform all the tasks NASA claims. Where is it? How did NASA know and calculate the paths through the v.a. rad belts? Both on the trip to the moon and on the trip back? How did the lunar module dock with the craft? The moon is traveling in multiple directions at extremely high speeds (around the earth, around the sun and through the universe), the craft is traveling a level above, and the lunar module was simply able to dock? "The earth is bombarded with over 100 tons of space rocks a day" - NASA. So during the entire trip, our astronauts didn't encounter one pebble (which traveling thousands of km/hr and would easily rip through the space crafts and suits)? Not to mention, all these accomplishments achieved on their first try to land on the moon. Jaysus!!!

Awesome video!! I have a busting question about these missions, when they perform the TEI, do they aim straight for their landing trajectory or do they perform another burn when closer to earth?

this animation is a blessing

good animation, explains things in simpler way to ppl like me, well done

Good animation, serious technical errors: * During flight, the command module engines are firing. In space, vehicles coast without running their engines. The only times that engine would be fired are when entering lunar orbit, and when breaking orbit to return to earth * No gravity turn during launch. Most of the energy in a launch goes into pushing the vehicle /sideways/ so it's going fast enough to orbit the planet - NOT into pushing up. * Reentry looks to be almost strait down. The reentry had to be done at a /very/ shallow angle, to avoid burning up from the heat. Really, don't you play KSP~?

Great animation!

Well done, Daniel J Murphy!

Nice clip....and all lived happily ever after.....

Could I use a portion of this video in a video I am producing talking about the difficulties of landing on other celestial bodies (The Moon, Mars, etc)?

they left in a sky scrapper and returned in a tent

This is amazing. 2020❤️

Nice thanks

Wow... amazing, to say the least...

This is the first time I’ve seen how this was achieved in a clear and simple way; how they got to the moon and how they got home again. Everyone just focuses on the reaching the moon bit.

I am gonna share this video

Amazing video.

Really enjoyed this, ta

Holy fuck now I know why so many people cannot believe this shit, I'm a first year aereospace engineer student and I find this astonishing

thanks, time to go recreate this in space engineers, give me 5 years

interesting and informative. excellent work

Very nicely done, but there is a small technical error with the LEM landing. The ground contact sensors are missing. These were 3 long "poles" that "hung down" from the 3 LEM legs. (The ones without a letter). When these touched the ground the LEM pilot knew he was 1.6 metres above the lunar surface. At this point he'd shut off the descent engine and the LEM would drop 1.6 metres (in 1/6G) to the lunar surface. The engine didn't run during or after touchdown.

Mute the video and play "back in black" by AC/DC

Thanks

I love how the astronauts leave in a giant rocket and come back in a tiny pizza pan 😂

Fantastic stuff

The best sim ive seen :).

I love this animation...

4:11 reading they had to quarantine for three weeks hits diff in 2022

So good

expose your inner alien

at least we saw stars in the animation version,

nice clip ! ..send it to hollywood, for next fiction movie. cheers.

How did this get into my recommended lol it's 11 years old now.

Tf. You need a huge rocket to go all they way to moon but you can appearently get back in a crib-sized bugger. I never knew earth is closer to moon than vice versa

thank you
