Apollo 17 - The Last Men on the Moon | The Apollo Experience - Part 1 | Free Documentary History
Between 1968 and 1972, NASA successfully sent 24 men where no human beings had been before or since. The final mission, Apollo 17, flew in December 1972 and closed the final chapter in NASA's triumphant Apollo Program. Using spectacular NASA high-definition archive footage, mission audio and rare astronaut interviews, this is a unique documentary film that comprehensively chronicles one of the greatest moments in mankind's history.
Uninterrupted by narration or expert interviews, this documentary immerses the audience inside the action as it happened on the day, over 40 years ago. Journey with astronauts Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt and Ronald Evans through their extensive training and across their 14-day mission to the Moon and back, and share the discoveries with Cernan and Schmitt as they explore the lunar surface for 3 days, while Evans performs experiments and reconnaissance in lunar orbit.
training and across their 14-day mission to the Moon and back, and share the discoveries with Cernan and Schmitt as they explore the lunar surface for 3 days, while Evans performs experiments and reconnaissance in lunar orbit. The Apollo 17 Experience is an emotive, informative and inspirational tribute to the Spirit of human exploration and mankind's final steps on the Moon.
Enjoy stories about people and events that formed the world we live in.

10 Most HORRIBLE SPACE LAUNCH FAILURES In History
Atlas - 1958
In 1950, the United States came up with the idea of building new models of intercontinental ballistic missiles called Atlas.
Challenger
The next case wrote one of the saddest chapters in human history. On the morning of January 28, 1958, the Challenger space shuttle was going to travel off the Earth with seven crewmembers.
June II
It seems that the Juno II rockets were not the most reliable vehicles ever made by the United States. They were used to launch ten satellites, of which, six failed.
Titan I
Unlike the Juno II rockets, the Titan ones were more reliable. Only 2 out of 49 exploded! Wait, what? At least it's a small amount.
Falcon 9
X
This time I've got you a rocket built by SpaceX - the American company that launches tourists into space just like Jeff Bezos with Blue Moon.
Atlas-Centaur.
Atlas-Centaur rockets are the descendants of the Atlas from numbers 9 and 5 - and as dignified heirs, of course they had a turbulent... performance.
Atlas-Centaur 5
Do you remember when I mentioned that the Atlas-Centaur rockets' performance was turbulent? Well, here we have another protagonist in a catastrophic trip.
Proton M
This is terrifying! In 2013, the Russian Proton M rocket started to tilt soon after the liftoff. They tried to correct the flight trajectory by moving the vehicle to the other side - but they kind of overdid things.

Sea Dragon Rocket: Worlds Largest Reusable Rocket Concept
Sea Dragon was a 1962 concept for a reusable, two-stage, sea-launched carrier rocket. The project never materialised as NASA's Future Projects Branch was shut down in 1965. It would have been the largest rocket ever built.

How to Get to Mars. Very Cool! HD
From Wiki: Spirit, MER-A (Mars Exploration Rover -- A), is a robotic rover on Mars, active from 2004 to 2010. It was one of two rovers of NASA's ongoing Mars Exploration Rover Mission. It landed successfully on Mars at 04:35 Ground UTC on January 4, 2004, three weeks before its twin, Opportunity (MER-B), landed on the other side of the planet. Its name was chosen through a NASA-sponsored student essay competition. The rover became stuck in late 2009, and its last communication with Earth was sent on March 22, 2010,
The rover completed its planned 90-sol mission. Aided by cleaning events that resulted in higher power from its solar panels, Spirit went on to function effectively over twenty times longer than NASA planners expected following mission completion. Spirit also logged 7.73 km (4.8 mi) of driving instead of the planned 600 m (0.4 mi), allowing more extensive geological analysis of Martian rocks and planetary Surface features. Initial scientific results
from the first phase of the mission (the 90-sol prime mission) were published in a special issue of the journal Science.
On May 1, 2009 (5 years, 3 months, 27 Earth days after landing, 21.6 times the planned mission duration), Spirit became stuck in soft soil. This was not the first of the mission's "embedding events" and for the following eight months NASA carefully analyzed the situation, running Earth-based theoretical and practical simulations, and finally programming the rover to make extrication drives in an attempt to free itself. These efforts continued until January 26, 2010 when NASA officials announced that the rover was likely irrecoverably obstructed by its location in soft soil, though it continued to perform scientific research from its current location.
The rover continued in a stationary science platform role until communication with Spirit stopped on sol 2210 (March 22, 2010). JPL continued to attempt to regain contact until research from its current location.
The rover continued in a stationary science platform role until communication with Spirit stopped on sol 2210 (March 22, 2010). JPL continued to attempt to regain contact until May 24, 2011, when NASA announced that efforts to communicate with the unresponsive rover had ended. A formal farewell was planned at NASA headquarters after the Memorial Day holiday and was televised on NASA TV.
Hope you enjoyed it!

Felix Baumgartner Space Jump World Record 2012 Full HD 1080p [FULL]
The Mission;
Red Bull Stratos, a mission to the edge of space, will attempt to transcend human limits that have existed for 50 years. Supported by a team of experts Felix Baumgartner plans to ascend to 120,000 feet in a stratospheric balloon and make a freefall jump rushing toward earth at supersonic speeds before parachuting to the ground. His attempt to dare atmospheric limits holds the potential to provide valuable medical and scientific research data for future pioneers.
The Red Bull Stratos team brings together the world's leading minds in aerospace medicine, engineering, pressure suit development, capsule creation and balloon fabrication. It includes retired United States Air Force Colonel Joseph Kittinger, who holds three of the records Felix will strive to break.
