Video of crew of Apollo 12
« on: August 22, 2025, 11:28:10 PM »
I just saw this message on the Apollo 12 descent video on YT, and thought I'd share it in case anyone could help:

Quote
Someplace, somewhere, there is a video of Conrad, Bean, and Gordon sitting around a picnic table swapping tales and having a ball.  It was filmed about 3 weeks before Pete Conrad's fatal motorcycle accident.  I am 99.99% certain it aired on Speedvision sometime in the winter of 1999-2000.   I have contacted Speedvision, NASA, Alan Bean's daughter, and Pete Conrad's wife.  No joy.  Let's put a big dragnet out and find that fascinating piece of history.  (I was living on a boat and had no record capability, or I would be sharing it with the world.)

Is anyone aware of the video in question?

I copied the quoted message into ChatGPT and it came up with this:

It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth.
I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.
I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.

Glad to help. I wasn’t really expecting ChatGPT to find anything… It’s pretty amazing sometimes.

I had not seen this one but if it was published in that time period, then I was busy at work in Azerbaijan.
