Something a bit different today! The USS Hornet Museum is holding CarrierCon 2023! And I will be a virtual panellist at the Azur Lane event! So I decided to do a video about the return and recovery of Apollo 11.

Special thanks to the Head Honcho of USS Hornet who provided me with all their Apollo 11 resources which was a big help!

I Hope you Enjoy

  1. Thank you for a great video! It would be fun to see more space-related videos from you! Maybe talking more about the "boring" parts of space travel that dont usually make it into documentaries.

  2. Watching this the day after I watched the 1000 miles of Sebring, where we got those beautiful shots of a space x rocket roaring into space… Makes those shots have even more meaning. May humanity never forget the ones who risked everything, and those who paid the ultimate price, for our knowledge of space and the wisdom it has brought upon all of us. There shall be nothing but eternal glory for those heroes.

    There’s actually an inaccuracy in a video. The footage of third stage separating from the second stage as actually the footage of a Saturn 1B since there’s only three separator motors on the 1B’s upper stage instead of the four separator motors on the upper stage of the Saturn V.

  4. "why did Apollo 11 astronauts have to disinfect and quarantine themselves?"

    Very nice video 👏 ChatGPT gave a nice answer to my question:
    Apollo 11 astronauts were placed in quarantine and had to undergo disinfection procedures upon their return to Earth because of concerns about potential "lunar pathogens" or "back-contamination." At the time, it was unknown whether there were any microorganisms, viruses, or other potentially harmful agents on the lunar surface that could pose a threat to life on Earth. The idea was to prevent any such hypothetical organisms from being introduced to Earth's ecosystems.

    After the astronauts splashed down on Earth, they were first disinfected in their capsule by technicians wearing protective suits. Then they were transported to the Mobile Quarantine Facility, a converted Airstream trailer, where they stayed for a short period. They were subsequently moved to the Lunar Receiving Laboratory at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, where they were quarantined for a total of 21 days. During this time, they underwent medical examinations and testing.

    In the following Apollo lunar missions, astronauts were also quarantined for similar reasons. However, as more samples were collected and studied from the Moon, and no signs of life or harmful agents were discovered, the quarantine procedures were eventually deemed unnecessary and discontinued after the Apollo 14 mission.

  5. Hey, it's my girl CV-12. Love to see this come out just after CarrierCon. I had family serve as the final CAG of CV-8, and CV-12 is the closest museum ship to me, so she's the only ship I've been to.

    It's interesting to note half of the Essex class has recovered some sort of spacecraft in their lifetime, all but one manned. The Essex class has a close tie to our space program, and I only learned this after doing some research on Yorktown after she was announced for Azur Lane.

  6. Now this is an Apollo documentary. Also, I love that you used the ending clip from “How We Are Going to the Moon” to end the video.

    On another note, I was just over at Hornet yesterday for CarrierCon 2023. That is a beautiful ship right there, and it was amazing how she recovered three of the most amazing people in the world after a long and triumphant voyage.

  7. going to take a opportunity to shill an album I love that is very much related to this. Album is "Minus Ten and Counting" and the track most relevant being "Toast to the Unknown Heroes"
    Also can't pass up an opportunity to introduce someone to the weird and lovely world of Filk music

  8. Awesome video, I am close enough to Cape Canaveral that when I stood atop a parking garage near me, I could see Artemis 1 take off and go into the sky with my friends. The whole horizon lit up orange in the middle of the night. Truly an awesome experience when we all watched it together.
