Video Wednesday: Apollo 11

[SQUAD]

Bob Fitch is back in our spotlight once more for a very good reason: this Monday marked the release of the Apollo 11 episode of his video series Project Alexandria in which Bob takes us on a tour of human spaceflight history in Kerbal Space Program. The mix of real-world and ingame footage will get you introduced to Apollo 11′s history, and the impact of the mission on spaceflight since.

OOPS my brain fart. Thanks reminding me that.
No doute it's a great video that required so many knowledge and skill. I like the way he tells the story by mixing different clips. Now I have been sitting here too long watching his videos.

Nothing wrong with that!

I'm watching it, it's very well made.

[YargJay9991]

Wow, that was incredible! I wasn't expecting anything like a full length documentary but I liked it a lot!

Happy Flying

My God.......if I didnt already love space and KSP I would after watching that.  Superb!  I liked it that much I watched it twice. Simply outstanding

[Ignath]

Thanks Felbourn, I learned something in that video!  No clue they had to fill out a customs form when they returned...ridiculous red tape to the extreme!

[Enceos]

@Felbourn Watching your vids is always such a pleasure. Love spending my evening on your channel.

Have you got the hang of the Kerbal Animation Suite yet?

[Felbourn]

I have not used it in a while It was really difficult to use when it was new-ish. I have no idea how much better it has gotten lately. Back then, it had issues with not saving my anims correctly. With "moving" my animation points around as I added more. With shortening the extends of the animations. With running the anims on non-active kerbals when I didn't want them to. Maybe some other issues. That's why you see in Project Ares that I used anims for two teasers and then they stop showing up in all the other teasers. I'll give it a try again if you're saying it's tons better now.
