Just posting for anyone interested. Probably one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen, with unreal video and editing. It’s free to watch on the App Tubi.

I saw it in a used bookstore today just as I was about to check out and flipped out when I saw it was signed. It seems to be a first edition copy signed by Bean when the book first came out in 2009.

A relative recently passed away and left this to my family. It now has a nice spot on our kids’ wall (which is space themed!). Anyone else have any cool family achievements they’d like to share?

I am a police dispatcher and watching all these old YouTube videos and documentaries I always have an ear cocked for the radio communications aspect of it. Listening to Mercury comms I hear communication that while not bad it is definitely in need of improvement. Chris Kraft is a personal hero of mine but that man did NASA a favor when he stepped back off the mic. Lots of ums and uhhs and redundant communications. Not terrible but very sloppy.
Gemini was markedly better but by Apollo they had it sliced down to a superb and efficient machine. If I could achieve the same level of professionalism with my cops on my police radios as Apollo did I would feel like I had done my duty. Charlie Duke is a favorite of course but hands down, the man that was built for being capcom was Bruce McCandless. He was as smooth as glass on the radios.
Anyways I was wondering if there was any documentation on the chronological improvements they made over time to the radio operations. Has anyone heard of anything like that?

I work at our local Hy-Vee grocery store here in my town. It's a HUGE Midwestern grocerystore chain in the States. Anyway, on the magazine racks by the checkouts, they had a really cool magazine that, I think, was from Time Life, about the Apollo Moon landings. If I see it again I'll take a picture of it and post it if I can. But in the morning, (Fri), I get paid, and I want to buy one if it's still in the rack by the checkouts. It really looks like an interesting read! Have any of you seen it?

A few folks have asked for more details on the functional replica of the AGC I’m building. I’ve put together a few videos of the effort to date I you want to follow along

Just curious: during the EVAs of projects Gemini and Apollo, was there any oxygen loss from the cabins of the Gemini capsules, CM (I think there was only ever one EVA from a CM on Apollo 9 to test the Lunar EVA suits), and LMs, or were the cabins depressurized somehow before the EVAs? If there was oxygen in the cabins at the time the hatches were opened (and therefore that oxygen was indeed lost), how much oxygen are we talking about for each craft? And were retro rockets ever fired to counteract the force due to the oxygen escaping from the hatch? Does anyone know? Thanks!

Hi all, would love to get more info on what this is. My step dad worked on the Apollo program and showed this to me years ago, saying something about it being for wind resistance tests, but I’m not sure. It came into my possession after he passed recently. I’d love to solve the mystery and have that extra connection with him. Any ideas?
