Cool Apollo 11 Replay Website

Just listening the the background audio and when they turned the CSM around to mate with the LEM Neil had some problems docking and used more RCS than was normal.

So to you guys having problems docking EVEN THE REAL TOP GUYS HAVE PROBLEMS TOO lol. If you are having problems IT'S NORMAL!

Captain Pedantic checking in. The Apollo 11 CM pilot was Michael Collins, so he would have been the one flying that particular maneuver.

Where can we find this audio?

Not sure what site NeoMorph is referring to but I've been listening to this one as I carry out my missions in KSP. http://www.live365.com/stations/apollo_11_oda Would love to find a site that did the Gemini and rest of Apollo missions like this. Anybody know of any?

This was posted here a little while ago, and it was pretty neat.

Thanks for the clarification.

[NeoMorph]

Nope... I posted the right link in the original post (was tired when I posted last time). It's the http://wechoosethemoon.org one.

Thanks for the link NeoMorph

That part about the docking is classic. It's stage 5 on the website.

Here's the transcript to Apollo 11

Roger. In reference to your question on RCS usage: it looks like you are about 18, maybe 20 pounds below nominal at the present time. No problem at all. Over.

I wanted to be 18 or 20 pounds above nominal, babe.

00 04 28 49 CC

Sorry about that.

EDIT: this is great. They're up there running in place even though they can tell the spacecraft is wobbling because of it!

Yes. I don't know if it's a vibration or what it is, but it makes the pitch and yaw rate needles on FDAI number 1 jump up and down a little bit where we jump up and down.

It really does bring into mind that this can't be faked. WAY too many little details to be faked. Oh and now I know more about the AGC I know what all those P numbers and nouns and such mean.

I'm building my next phase to making my big PCB for the DSKY today. A customised laser printer toner re-melter so that it binds to my larger PCB blanks better. Was getting holes in the finer tracks up to now and the tracks needed for the seven segment displays have to be JUST right. Listening to this replay of 11 in the background is just perfect for keeping me on track. I really would love a 1:1 broadcast of Apollo 11 though. Would try to do a matched launch that way.

The site is very inaccurate, how come there is fire everywhere when stages are shaped? And why is there no braking burn, once in the mu-I mean, moons gravity well?

[NeoMorph]

Oh god... I just realised I missed a line until this last one....

Stage 8:

Houston: "Neil if you give us p00 and data, we got some loads for ya."

For those who don't know, p00 is program zero zero or an instruction for the computer to just do background stuff.

Because when the media gets its hands on space stuff, they make it follow a typical, everyday person's simple logic...

Not inaccurate... just missing some bits to shorten the time from over 100 hours until touchdown. It's not animating everything.
