Apollo 15 my favorite landing site! If we ever go back to revisit a site this should be on top of the list.
-
I was 12 when Falcon landed on the Plain at Hadley. Thanks for brining back wonderful memories. Awesome work!
-
LM5 has really been on a tear lately with a whole ton of awesome content.
-
excelent work tks!
-
Takes me back. It's like it I was watching it 50 years ago. What a time machine. These were the good times at NASA.
-
Great animation! You really get a feel for the dramatic terrain they were dropping into!
-
Clearly my favorite mission considering the landing, skipping between those mountains! Thanks for your work!
-
Loved that landing. Dave Scott & James Irwin sounded super cool during the descent. Thanks once again Simon for putting this together.

-
And looking forward to this too 😉

I watched all of this mission on television as I was visiting my cousin in Minot, ND. He was in SAC. He wore the nuclear launch key around his neck, with his work buddy. Our family obtained government clearance to go down into the silo and see SAC Command Center. It had 10 ton doors you could move with your baby finger. I watched Apollo 15, whenever or wherever I could, typically on CBS or NBC. I was 10.

Beautiful job! When we watched it live 50 years ago, all we saw was a simulation (with models) and Walter & Wally talking over the NASA guys. I always admired Dave Scott for talking the time to do a quick Stand-Up EVA. He really took the geology part serious and wanted to scan the area to get their bearings and see what was there before going out. Plus, they had the rover! Seeing this from a new perspective was great. Man, those mountains were close! Thanks again, Simon.

Great episode Stunning views on this mission

Awesome

This was an exciting landing. The LM had to fly low over the high mountains , clearing them by 10,000 fett. The surrounded the west sdie of the landing site. Then start the decent and could not over shoot or else they may have been heading into Hadley Rille.

One of the things about spaceflight I love is that you can say: exactly 50 years ago in this second, at this position this has happened!
-
Well done! Thank you for this Simon.

I've always thought that the hard landing even though they were only going 1 fps at engine shutoff was because the engine bell contacted the ground as Scott observed shortly after getting out the next morning. That was like bottoming out in a car. The shock absorbers aren't going to take the punishment, the whole vehicle will. The front landing leg barely contacted the ground during touchdown, if at all.

Ed Mitchell had to be the calmest, most efficient Capcom ever. He would have made a great overnight FM radio announcer with that voice.
