The fact that they left medals honoring cosmonauts is quite heartwarming.

An alternate theory about the Apollo 11 flag goes as follows: After the flag blew over during Apollo 11's departure from the surface, the flags for the Apollo 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 missions were planted farther away from the lunar module and remained standing after the astronauts left. Those flags were almost certainly bleached out by the sun. With the Apollo 11 flag, however, it is possible that the same rocket exhaust that blew the flag over may have also covered it in lunar dust. If enough dust covered the flag to block most of sunlight, it's possible that the buried flag is the last one retaining it's original colors.

Incredible Video Creation! Thank You! ❤❤❤

A lot of people don’t know how much respect the Russian and American space programs had/have for each other. The governments were competitive but not the space agencies
@Cosmic_youtuberr
We can all agree that the production quality and visuals of this video is simply incredible

Great job! Thanks from Russia. Everything related to the Apollo 11 flight is very close to me. In the 80s and 90s, I was very interested in the history of the development of the space programs of the USA and the USSR. In my collection there are articles from Soviet newspapers of the 60s and 70s about the flights of the ''Mercury'', ''Gemini'' and ''Apollo'' spacecraft, detailed from launch to landing. By the way, all the articles are very friendly and respectful. In 1994 I decided to write a letter to Neil Armstrong about my hobby and to my joy he personally replied to me by sending an autographed photo. Now it is our family heirloom, as well as letters from John Glenn and John Young - pioneers of space exploration. Good luck to everyone.

Amazing video and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you very much.

To leave all that medals and patches to celebrate the the ones who died to make this mission possible warms my heart ❤️

My dad was a radio man in the Navy during this time. He helped relay signals back to NASA and listened intently to the conversations. He was absolutely amazed. A young kid from a rural state getting to experience something so amazing. He had no patience for landing deniers and got into argument with at least one person I remember. When he passed in 2020, I had to give the eulogy and I mentioned his experience doing this and mentioned that if there WERE a conspiracy about the landing, he never got his cut from the government to hush things up. “As we all know, dad wouldn’t have shut up until he got his money.” Everyone laughed and it helped set the tone for the rest of the service. Dad was proud he got to be part of this in a small way and I loved hearing the stories.

Would be cool if we went back to this landing site to film a documentary about it, recording it with our high tech cameras of today. That would be amazing to watch.

My dad and uncle both worked at the space Sciences Laboratory at UC Berkeley. They were both very skilled journeyman machinists and they made most of the lunar laser retro reflector. I had some 8 x 10 black and white glossy's of it when I was a kid along with pictures and descriptions of other apparatus he made.

Although it was not mentioned in the narration, I was pleased to see the ALSCC camera (Apollo Lunar Surface Closeup Camera), that was left behind. It's purpose was to take 3-D photos of the undisturbed surface of the moon. The film canister was then brought back to earth for processing.. I was involved in the development of the camera when I was employed at Kodak.
@Noise-Bomb
I truly believe that the Apollo Program is the single most impressive feat of engineering ever performed by humans. The sheer amount of workforce, genius and technology this feat took to archive is nothing short of mesmerizing. Literally and figuratively the highest we've been as a species and it's a damn shame we're yet to return to our lovely neighbor.
@alidivani
I remember sitting in front of our black-and-white telly as a 9-year-old child and seeing this incredible landing being televised. literally blew my mind.
@NutsNBolts24
Also, from missions 15, 16, and 17, there are three moon buggies (lunar roving vehicles) up there. Great video 👍
@Yosh1az
Perhaps one day in the distant future, a museum will be created around this landing spot.
@michelmoss7559
My cousin was buried on the moon, my favorite story when people don’t believe me about something. My cousin was Gene Shoemaker, a geologist who proved impact craters came from asteroids and taught the astronauts geology, when he passed they launched an ounce of his ashes in a stainless steel container from the Shuttle and made an impact crater on the moon!
@lestercoons3962
I watched the first moon landing with my grandfather on a little black and white television in a cabin in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I will never forget that!
@elgringoyanqui
I remember as a boy of 7 yrs (55 years ago) watching the moon landing landing live on our little 19” black and white tv. I still remember the emotional impact of that day. Thank you for sharing this post!
