Here's flight director Gerry Griffin in mission control responding to the actual #scetoaux moment from Apollo 12, 56 years ago today, when the spacecraft was struck by lightning. 🌩️⚡️ I synchronised the raw 16mm footage to the flight loops as part of preparation for the still

Congratulations to my genius @nasa friends @BenFeist and David Charney on their launch today of the ISS In Real Time website, containing 25 years of human presence in space. https://t.co/Dxe5P1RQ5r This resource will be incredibly important by scholars for years to come 🙌

With the milestone just days away, you are likely to hear this week that there has now been a continuous human presence on the International Space Station (ISS) for the past 25 years. But what does...

RIP Capt.Jim Lovell, 97, veteran of NASA’s Gemini & Apollo programs. One of the first humans to orbit the moon & a hero of NASA’s “most successful failure”, the Apollo 13 mission. Ad astra. https://t.co/b58bFpUt8d

Stephen’s account is my favorite account on Twitter. IMO he is the most important archivist alive working on bringing the magic of Apollo 11 to us and caretaking that legacy. See the 2019 Todd Douglass Miller Documentary for more:
This is the restored video of Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon 55 years ago today which we used for the @NASA_Johnson Mission Control restoration in 2019. We significantly cleaned up videotape recordings of the EVA to approximate what the flight controllers saw on their

Unfortunately this rather sad case just illustrates how many organisations these days simply aren't interested in fact checking, as long as it's a good story. I was told by the director on a recent documentary that the audience "only cares about the emotion" anyway...
Some people, including some at NASA, have told me they believe David Baker’s lies have damaged the public perception of space history.

Vividly remember tears being shed during one of our earliest screenings at @sundancefest in 2019 when this scene came round and realising that we'd been involved in making something a bit special. 🙌 The TV transmission depicted here was happening exactly 56 years ago as I post.
Greatest montage ever made, the U.S. Navy’s preparations to pick up the Apollo 11 Astronauts with the USS Hornet, 1500 mi SW of Hawaii upon Apollo reentry, including 8000 aviators, sailors, frogmen, NASA scientists on July 29, 1969 set to “Oh Mother Country, I Do Love You”

I couldn't recommend the Apollo 11 documentary highly enough. It is one of the best movies I've ever seen. These guys were nuts! https://t.co/7SO3YuIZP0

Those three flew that rocket to the Moon, and with Mike orbiting, Neil and Buzz walked on the surface 56 years ago today. One of the greatest achievements in all of history, it still inspires the world.

I'm in the unique position of having worked on both films, although only tangentially with the former... "8 Days" was an interesting idea, but I feel like the technique of using lip syncing actors didn't really work, and ended up feeling like a gimmick. @apollo11movie allowed
Watching "8 Days to the Moon and Back." I will never get tired of the Apollo 11 story. It's good, but the single best documentary that I have seen is called, simply, "Apollo 11." It came out in 2019, I think.
