video about Apollo
« on: May 29, 2014, 07:03:57 AM »
For many reasons I am not too active anymore on YouTube. Today I was there again and the short video I made really surprised me. Can you imagine I enjoyed my OWN video...?

Please watch the footage, listen to my music and the voices of Alan Bean, Gene Cernan, Michael Collins, Charlie Duke, Jim Lovell, Harrison Schmitt, Dave Scott and John Young.

"Truth Needs no Defence"

Also enjoyed hearing Carl Sagan again in "Gift of Apollo"

Can you list the names of the astronauts in the order that they speak? I believe nr. 2 was Jim Lovell?
Well, it is like this: The truth doesn't need insults. Insults are the refuge of a darkened mind, a mind that refuses to open and see. Foul language can't outcompete knowledge. And knowledge is the result of education. Education is the result of the wish to know more, not less.

Part of the video is coming from In The Shadow Of The Moon documentary. But ... where the heck is the voice of Dr. Harrison Schmitt..? I think I mentioned him in the video, but he appears in the documentary only, not in my video.
Damn.

I only got these ones (didn't pick Mike Collins the second two times, probably due to the quick succession of the last few voices.

History Channel is currently re-running "In the Shadow of the Moon" in NZ and Australia. Also, several other programmes related to moon landings (probably due to this being July) including a fascinating one called "Tank on the Moon" about the Soviet Lunokhod programme.

Oh yes, I saw the latter on Youtube. Gives you an idea of what an achievement sending a rover on the moon was back then, and what a  truly successful program it was.

What a great video Rob, it was wonderful to hear the humility of the astronauts. I wish the leaders of the worlds could take note of the words, and I wish the conspiracy theorists would also think about the legacy. That legacy is well framed in your video.
