We're going back to the moon, and we're going to need to train Astronauts how to land. This video is the result of trying to understand that control problem better. in the next video of this series, I'll show you footage from an actual NASA Lunar Lander software test I participated in many years ago. Also, I'd like to say express grateful I am to everyone who supports Smarter Every Day on Patreon at www.patreon.com/smartereveryday .

It's amazing to see how immediately he recalls all the stuff.

I'm sure drone technology would factor in, making it way more controllable.

I'm five years younger than you and I feel the same way. I spent two years at Florida Tech (FIT) from 1970-72 before I transferred to somewhere else. I got to see Apollo 13 standing at the gantry a few days before liftoff. It was during the Spring when my Dad and I went to the Cape after we took a tour of FIT which I attended in the fall. During those two years, I got a chance to use my pilot's license because FIT had a flight school. As a "Space Technology" student, my buddies and I could rent aircraft at the flight school. One evening, we took my buddy's father's Cessna 172 and the four of us few around a very small restricted area around the Apollo Saturn V which was standing at the gantry. I can't remember which mission it was, either Apollo 15 or 16, but we circled the rocket about five miles away at 2000 ft and saw it lit up with flood lights. It looked like daytime from our position at sea. Then, as we flew back to Melbourne airport, we headed directly into the wind and put down full flaps to slow down. The wind was very strong coming from the west, about 35 Kts, so we were transversing the ground very slowly. At one point we flew over an outdoor drive-in theater and watched a porno for a few minutes. Can you believe it? Stuff like that went on the 1970s. Those were the post-Woodstock days. The Apollo years brought fine memories and I've been an Apollo nerd ever since.

To be honest, I believe engineers in the past maybe not were 'better', but it was surely much harder for them back then. Nowadays everyone have computers, instant connections with each other, whole internet's knowledge in their pockets, a lot of manufactured electronics ready to use. But that's how it works, we build things and learn to pass the baton on, that's why humankind has kind of exponential grow when it comes to technology grow. Future generations will use what we learn and build, and it will be easier and easier for the next generations.

Then in the end he lost control and the trajectory is towards the Snake. The POV change to snake as it was moving huriedly hearing the noise and then Neil ejected and the LLTV crashed down to the snake.

Morgen! Ich komme auch aus Deutschland, aber ich schreibe mal weiter in Englisch, nur um das hier für alle lesbar zu machen 😉! So, Im doing subtitleling professionally. Unfortunately, due to the UKposts algorithm, the request on subtitles went way down in the last few years. That’s why only a couple channels have subtitles these days. Maybe you know Wintergatan (YT-Channel, 2 Million Subscribers (Don’t take my word for that)). This channel actually has a dedicated subtitle team I play a lead part in. Additionally I usually get money for that, which makes it again way less attractive to put subtitles under a video. But probably only 1% of all channels have these teams (Again: Don’t take my word for that). German TV usually has subtitles on their YT Videos, but they are press so that’s something else 😉. Im here now because I could do subtitles for this channel if Destin wants it, but he probably won’t just because there’s no request for it (No one who watches his channel doesn’t speak English properly probably). Even if I would, which I would, do it for free! Edit: Do you want English or German subtitles? Or even both?

She made her classroom fun for the children. We have been on vacation at Disney & other places here in Florida during summer break. A couple times former students recognized my wife. Shouting out and running up to her with a big hug. She made a good difference in their lives. Thank you Destin for making a great difference is so many lives. Shalom

I lived in Bethpage at that time where the LEMs were built. I knew many of the engineers too, one of them was my best friends father who was in charge of wiring the LEM. Grumman had employed ove 85,000 people working 24/7. The LEM project was important but they also were working on the F14, E2C and others. The entire town was proud of the work Grumman did as their work had never been proven until the 2 astronauts were safely aboard the Command module. Grumman built 2 identical LEMs for the mission. 1 was going to the moon, the other was in the hanger. After the mission was over, they pushed the one from the hanger out into the parking lot and it was painted camo green. I was there for months. I went by it every day on my way to school. One of the things my friends father was concerned about was all the wires that ran from the assent module to the decent module. They ran thru an explosive guillotine that fired right before the engine lit. If that failed, the assent module would never make it off the lunar surface. If you watch the video of the assent module taking off from the lunar surface, you will see an outward explosion just before lift off. That was the guillotine firing, cutting the umbilical wires. Grumman now was bought by Northrup and the original facility is a shadow of its former self. Although a few buildings are still there, the runway is torn up and apartment buildings are there. The original hanger where the LEMs were built is still there, but it is now a movie studio.
