When news 📺broke about the near disaster for David Scott and Neil Armstrong👨‍🚀👨🏼‍🚀 the TV program they interrupted was Lost in Space!

There was a mention that "neither astronaut experienced any sensation of being disoriented". I thought they both said they were at the limits of spin rates to even see?

Just think this all happened with less power than your smart phone

Good stuff! I love it! Especially the gum chewing smoke pulling cowboys at the end! An iconic yank propaganda movie of the time... pity the yanks haven't grown up yet.... year 2023.....

It speaks volumes to the absolute coolness of both Armstrong and Scott that it doesn’t appear a single 4 letter word was uttered during the struggle with the spacecraft!

Funny how they had to stand around for the photographers in the hot Florida sun without air conditioners. But indoors they were connected to their air conditioners.

Armstrong became first commander of an Apollo landing mission. Scott became first CMP to do transposition-docking-extraction-redocking along with first CMP EVA; then he commanded the first all-up scientific Apollo mission. Slayton knew where to put his crews.

The Mercury and Gemini astronauts were my childhood heroes. They definitely had "the right stuff."

Would you do Titan 1 launch.

I'm pretty sure that this accident and recovery by Neil Armstrong was one of the reasons why he was selected as the commander on the first moon landing. It showed he could handle a real emergency successfully. That is, he had the most "right stuff" of the astronauts who could have commanded the mission at the time. He also successfully survived the crash of the "pogo stick" LEM practice craft. Again, he acted appropriately in an emergency. Finally, the actual decent of the LEM to the moon during Apollo 11 was chaotic and had to be done manually by Armstrong, our "ace" astronaut.

Hearing Jules Bergman's voice brought me right back to my childhood. Awesome video.

Thanks for this...! Great footage. Never seen over half of this..! And a HUGE thanks to NASA for taking/keeping this footage for posterity ..! How freakin awesome was Neil on his first Space mission in command at that . Electronic malfunction on his Gemini spacecraft , spinning rapidly out of control, and keeps ice cool in working the problem to a safe condition....! Best Astronaut man..! Cheers
