For All Mankind
For All Mankind tells the true story of the 24 men who travelled to the moon as the entire US watched in awe.
Sorting through nearly one hundred hours of film and sound recordings recovered from NASA - shot between December 1968 and November 1972, in the heyday of the space programme - director Al Rienart has pieced together a seamless documentary commemorating man's landing on the moon.
The film is a montage of images with voice-over interviews and comments from the participating astronauts of the moon landing. Brian Eno, famous for his ethereal music, provides the score.
For All Mankind presents an exhilarating portrait of an incredible human achievement, and was nominated for the Best Documentary Oscar in 1989.
During the Apollo lunar missions from 1968 to 1972, those onboard were given 16mm cameras and told to film anything and everything they could, in space, in orbit, and on the surface of the moon itself.
Two decades later, filmmaker Al Reinert went into the NASA vaults to create this extraordinary compendium of their journeys and experiences.
Assembled from hundreds of hours of the astronauts' own footage, with a soundtrack made up of their memories and a specially composed score by Brian Eno, the film takes the form of one journey to the moon and back again, building with elegant simplicity and exquisite construction to create an overpowering vision of human endeavour and miraculous experience.
The original 'For All Mankind' story is exceptional! A fairly new Apple TV series about the same subject happens to have the same title. Why is that? None of the facts in the series are true. So what is the purpose of the series? Personally I don't like 'what if' stories. They waste my time. Still some people make lite of this series! Our children are being misinformed enough these days. This will confuse them, especially when there is no disclaimer or warning that this series is nothing but sci-fi drama. Americans were the first to set foot on the moon. We are the better for it, no matter how hard one trys to deny it!
I wouldn't pay attention to a hoax believer. The transmissions were tracked. Russia knew where astronauts were. There is no evidence of any hoax. There were six manned missions. Why fake it that many times and risk getting caught. Total nonsense. No amount of evidence can convince a skeptic anyway. Everything will be called "fake". Pictures, moonrocks, any evidence that contradicts their beliefs, is a lie. Very sad.
I've studied much of the moon landing conspiracies. But I've never heard anyone address the camera that filmed the first human setting foot on the moon. Was the camera extended from the arm of LEM ? How did the camera and film react to solar radiation ? Or was it Kubrick pre-staged lol.
"A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon" is a much better docu which may still be available on this website. If not, should be on youtube. Highly recommended.
Why would the earth look like a golf ball as one or two in the docu stated, when it is much larger than the moon? It should look large from the moon, compared to looking at the moon from the earth. The whole purpose of that was to plant in the listeners mind that they were very far away when they were not. Maybe 300-400miles or so. The reason a stencil was placed over the window to depict the earth much smaller with dark edge.
If no atmosphere on the moon, no soft soil. If "nothing" there, then no space between the soil particles. No foot prints. No tracks. If soil movable as depicted and there was some atmosphere, then the moon lander thrust should have caused a large crater (probably blackened) underneath the lander with dust all over the landing gear, likely black as well. This propaganda docu avoided that completely while other videos show the lander with no crater, no dust on landing gear, not even any discoloration under the lander. It is hilarious as is "the tour of the space station" once you see the expose' of that as well.
People who cannot handle all the evidence disputing the lunar landing simply cannot handle the implications of being fooled, about their govt and about themselves, yet cite scientific advancements... What about scientific principles of following the evidence to where it leads rather than deciding what you choose to believe, while denying facts and evidence?
There seems to be way too many people who prefer to believe their govt wouldn't fool them in such a way, they prefer not to consider themselves as fools. Yet which is worse? Being fooled or continuing to deny it in the face of all the evidence? The puppet masters continue to fool us regularly. They are doing it all the time with so many things. Do your own investigating. Don't depend on the major media which is owned and controlled by who? Certainly isn't anyone who cares about you.
A large part of propaganda is the limiting of information. More of it gets known as time goes on. Why keep yourself from that?
The excuses are endless... Russian would expose... Why would they without exposing their own lies?
I won't waste my time watching a hoax. America never made it to the moon. It was all done in a studio somewhere and stupid America believed it. Just goes to show you that you can sell anything to an American!
A wonderful historic documentary. The focus is on the language, fashion and music of the time of the Apollo project. Technicians and engineers may find this show disappointing in its lack of detail, while the general viewing audience may find it disappointing in its lack of script, resolution, purpose and plot. The footage is raw, real and life-like in its portrayal of the emotions of three combat-experienced fighter-pilots as they travel for three days in an automatically controlled spacecraft on their historic journey of a quarter of a millions miles on a scientific expedition to collect rocks.
The documentary makes no claim to being chronographically accurate, as a result, Apollo historians, and sixth grade science students, question the inclusion of footage of Gemini astronauts leaving the capsule without any adequate explanation.
This documentary has a wide target audience and as a result it fails to capture any one single target group.
Recommended viewing for an after-event report.
Wow there are still people that beleave in the moon landing!?! study a little
It's approx 240,000 miles to the moon one way. Is there a record of man traveling more than a thousand miles into space, besides the moon voyages?
If not... than why?
NASA should send a camera to the site of the landings and have it send back live footage of the stuff left on the moon. This should be a fraction of the cost it took to send men and equipment. Which they did 6 times... at times two landings in a single year! This will finally settle the matter... unless there is nothing up there but moon rocks. The inability of the Hubble telescope to spot the landing sites sound like excuses. They show these feel good achievement docs, or they do a television special on when we went to the moon... well wouldn't it be even more exhilarating if when they show these "moon landings remembered", they would have current footage of the flag on the moon... They could do it live like they did in 69. But they only show those images from 40 plus years ago. They want us to believe in the "then" not the "now". It doesn't work... I need present day proof.
If the Hubble telescope can show [cough] planet nurseries why can't we get a clear shot of the moon and all the equipment left behind? Why bother sending any other probes to any planet for that matter. Simply use Hubble to 'get a good shot' If it can see nursuries then it can see rivers and buildings on Mars right? Ooops, that would mean less money for NASA and maybe the truth getting out. Sorry, I didn't mean to break the fouth wall for anyone of those Easter Bunny and Santa Claus folks.
i believe the american government its not like they had anything to gain from winning the space race and appearing superior to Russia. and its not like the american government have ever lied they have a squeaky clean track record and would never fake such a thing................................................................................................................................................................................................NOT!
the doc "Apollo Zero" also found on this amazing site is a great one to watch.
UNBELIEVABLE... I can understand those that think all of this footage is fake. It is UNREAL, ALIEN ... just stupefying (as Richard Dawkins would say)... if you do not cry while watching this... in shear AWE and WONDER of it... then you simply do not understand the scope and beauty of it the Apollo Landing.
if you wish to live in a world of make belief then thats up to you, the sun in the apollo pictures is not the real sun so how can it be real footage?
You have pictures and actual footage. If that is not proof...what is?
I haven't seen one convincing argument against the moon landings or that hasn't been disproven.
I've also noticed that biologists are rude to creationists or geologists to flat earthers ....it's really a mistery.
I can't believe how many people do not look at the evidence properly, I think a lot of people think they have to believe it as if the world will end if it's not true, I've noticed believers are very rude to people who dont believe yet they cant explain the evidence provided by NASA, in fact they dont even acknowledge it, it's a lot like christians believing every word of the bible, jesus might be real but the bible isnt 100% true, man might have walked on the moon but no one has seen real footage of it happening and that is what we all really want.
uh...geez
We went to the moon and it's final.
If you think about it it's not even such a big achievement.
I think this issue is similar to the invention of the A-Bomb in the 40's without computers.The only difference is that Japan is a lot of a heck closer and easier to travel to. If you look through history a lot of implausable things happened, but there they are...
I rethink my last statement it is obvious to me that all the footage from man walking on the moon is fake, why would they fake walking on the moon if they really did it? The sun is fake. Look at a link I will put onto the a funny thing happened on the way to the moon
part 7 6m 40s did the flag move or what? I guess everyone wants to believe that man didnt go to the moon because maybe it means that it was a pointless waiste of time since we havnt been to mars yet or we havnt invented the warp drive yet or something maybe, maybe ppl just dont like being lied too who knows so we look for things which are wrong with what we are told, I cant get over why they dont mention anything about the stars, they only mention the cold blackness of space and I know the explanation for this but its still makes no sense why they dont mention anything about stars however there is a video which would kind of prove that it is possible to go through the van halen belt unless its a fake,however I also have to ask where the stars are in this video since the reason we are given that there is no stars on the moon is because of the brightness of the light reflecting of the surface of the moon. At the same time I'm beginning to believe that maybe ppl did walk on the moon.
Dannyboy, I agree with you on 99% of what you're saying. I do however believe we went to the moon. There are some undeniable facts that can be independently verified to prove as much.
Look into the Lunar Laser Ranging device, you can also research the MOON ROCKS that we brought back. I won't spell it out for you, if you're really that interested in denying it should be no problem for you to do a little research on your own.
The US Government is corrupt as hell, but we have made a few trips to the moon. The key to being a respected conspiracy theorist is being able to research and find out what holds clout and what doesn't. The moon conspiracy is repeated by a bunch of quacks and holds no water. It's sad that people cross conspiracy borders so easily once they're interested because it takes away credibility for those conspiracies which are true and deserve the public's attention.
Think for yourself, question authority.
I think dannyboy2225 took off his tinfoil hat too long, and the Aliens used their ESP on him o_O
Reasons Voice is just blinking vacantly at Dannyboys comment. Wonders when the next agent orange air strike will be. Hopefully it will save me raking all these flippin leaves.
Hey ez2b12 and backslide... i think the us gov. [the same gov. who manages the illegal heroin/cocaine bus.] used tax dollars to make a bad tv mini series... "88 ez steps to the moon".... the same gov.who could spray agent orange,and still does on its own citizenry, commit genocide,leach the soil dry, so nothing will grow, pollute vast stretches of soil and water, create a global drug empire by making diversionary WAR wherever needed, [o yeh break a few eggs]... didn't bring prima materia back to prima terra.... whatever lies are or are not believed... the masonic trick was accomplished...
Wow, totally worth seeing. One of the best documentaries I've ever seen! beautiful, just beautiful!
@ Jono
You said: "He was probably the last real President you had..."
I could not agree more. you should read the whole thread before commenting. If you had of you would have seen I said the same thing earlier in this thread. I also talked about how shameful it was that the government was at the least incompetent and possibly involved. I get upset because earlier in the thread someone wanted to bash all Americans and did so by throwing this pop culutre fiction, this speach was in the movie but never occurred in reality, in our face- as if to say "Look at the dumb Americans that buy thier governments propaganda." In reality we did not buy this fiction about Oswald acting alone and this assassination is very close to hearts and hurts when someone wants to throw it around to make petty points about some documentary.
That said, this place has turned into home for American bashing, In fact for criticizing the entire western world lately. All I hear is how evil and conceded the white Europeans are. One guy on another thread is upset because he thinks that Darwin only get credit for coming up with evolution because he is fomr Europe. (LOL) He actually thinks the half monkey half human god of some eastern religion means they came up with evolution first, its just insane. There is plenty of guilt to go around for east and west, no one race, culture, religion, sex is to blame for all the evils in the world or even the majority.
But I have no right to say you guys can't bash whom ever you want. Maybe one day all this will stop. Until then I will simply refrain from commenting any further on these threads that hold this as thier theme. From what i have seen on here latley that means I will not be posting much at all, but thats fine. The conversations as of late have been repetetive and dumbed down anyway, I'm sure this is just a normal cycle for a site of this kind. I am not upset with you at all Jono, you have a good day.
