    Man I love the "Go" callout sequences. It's so exciting to hear the enthusiasm and lightning fast precision in their voices.

    I listened to this as a kid on the radio at 4am with my Dad. I can remember every detail, emotion, wonder, and excitement as if it were yesterday. It triggered a wanderlust and desire to fly that never left me. After a 43-year flying career and now retired, I owe the inspiration to the incredible men and women of the entire Apollo team.

    the best part to me is the communications discipline, the checklist discipline. The years of training and professionalism by the controllers and crew is awesome and and brings tears to my eyes every time I watch this. Absolutely the best of this country!
  • @jasonjackson4555
    I’ve watched this many times, but it always puts me on the edge of my seat. Everyone involved in this was on top of their game and performed their jobs perfectly. This was one of the greatest achievements in human history. The 3 astronauts of this mission are some of the bravest people of their time and will be forever known as heroes.
  • @markyounger1240
    This is the best recording in history. If this doesn't blow you away, you have no idea what you are listening to.
  • @pimpompoom93726
    It's been 54 years since I watched this live on TV and it still gives me goosebumps. Absolutely awesome.
  • @CaribSurfKing1
    Neil went to P66 immediately when he saw the boulder field and became a pilot. With the alarms and the horizontal flying, it was the most stressful of all the landing scenarios, plus being the first. Every commander would have landed in a similar way, but you even hear Buzz complimenting Neil with how smooth he was
  • @radekgrec1467
    I'm so impressed how incredibly competent all of these guys are
  • @carlnash7200
    My grandmother and grandfather went from riding in a covered wagon to witnessing a man on the moon. Just amazing.
  • @vanbeet5105
    "The Eagle has landed" Probably the most significant and legendary statement in human history as the feat they had achieved was mind boggling to say the least. Watching this 52 years later, and despite the fact that various other lunar expeditions have occured, i still get goosebumps when i hear these four words
  • @johnmichaelarmstrong8972
    As a young boy who lived as a child this was 1 of main events I got to witness in person because of my dad who was a part of this until he retired from the USAF, my family still loves watching this even today hopefully we'll see Artemis launch and land there on the moon again 54 yrs later. Thanks Neil and John Elmer ARMSTRONG.
  • @studentjohn
    That was bloody tense even from 54 years out and knowing the end result.
  • @you99tubejimking
    I'll be honest, this presentation is more impressive than any I've ever witnessed. This is very exciting and takes us right there with Apollo 11 and Mission Control!
  • @fporretto
    This landing, a combination of calculations checked many times and coolly managed manual piloting skill, is a perfect depiction of the supreme virtue: courage.
  • @moonchild666
    Seen loads of footage of this historical event, but could never get my head around how the Eagle manoeuvred during the decent. Until now. Brilliant explanation and use of footage. 👌
  • @poruatokin
    Sitting here at my desk, watching this in comfort more than 50 years later I was shifting forward on my seat and biting my lip. Damn, that was intense!
  • @feman43
    50 years later, I still get shivers watching.
  • @leedavis5691
    Utterly amazing. Gripping. Every person on there had nerves of steel, but particularly Aldrin and Armstrong. How they remained so cool in the most intense of situations is just astonishing. I know they use the phrase 'the right stuff ' to describe astronauts, but there are realistically very few people who could face those circumstances and not just freak out. I am in awe.
  • @tbadam
    One of the most impressive and inspirational videos on YouTube, IMO.
