Actual radio and telemetry from The Eagle as it slows to land in 1969

[Snattlerake]

We all know Neil and Buzz and their remarkable accomplishment in June 1969. If you have watched any of the landing I'll bet is it from the last several minutes of the flight.

Here is a video of the last 20 minutes. There are several conversations going on between different aspects all individually manned console responsible to monitor, fix, control, and report. Several controllers recommended things and were overruled. Some other recommendations were given as orders to Neil and Buzz. This video is an actual video recording from the LEM during the three stages of descent. The first three minutes are a narrative of the entire descent which is only 3 minutes.

OK, all of this aside, it was 1969!

I cracked up when Aldrin said 'Better than the simulator' during their decent.

And who would have thought 1202 and 1201 alarms by the DSKEY weren't mission threatening especially when A. They had never occurred before, and B. they had to clear and reboot the computer while it was in descent.

Makes the hair stand up on my arms just like it did in 1969 on live TV when they showed as much as they could. Thanks for posting.
