They always said they were not given the means for a quick death if needed so I wonder how he would have done it.

Could have just opened the door with no helmet on or, maybe not as that wouldn't work in a studio? :)

Opened the door of a pressurised cabin onto a vacuum?

I doubt it!

For the same reason you cannot open an aircraft door.

You do know there's a compression chamber between the two doors?

Yeah it was excellent.

Best bit though was when they asked that old woman in Trafalgar Square what she thought about the impending moon landing:

" I think it's a bloody disgrace!! Have they got nothing better to do?!!"

LOL!

I liked the guy in New York with the hat.

i understand the money part and yes people and there tax paying questions, but the moon could be a key part in space technology and could have been the best place to build a space station and see if man can really live in space, also taking other things to the moon and the space station and over time and see how they react on the moon and grow and live, yes drilling to see what the moon is made of and maybe find something to help on earth you just don't know what is there ??

Cheese!
saw a Wallace and Gromit documentary about it.

No it doesn’t.

Collins was not on the LEM.
He remained in the command module orbiting the moon.

And what was on the command module, a latch?

You have to give it to these conspiracy theorists.

They stick to their guns even when you give them some facts.

Join legendary Queen guitarist Brian May as he recalls the historic year of 1969 on BBC Radio 2
https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/proginfo/2019/30/brian-mays-1969

1969 was one of the most culturally significant 12 months in the 20th century, and Brian explores the impact that the year had on him and the world of music and culture.

On 20 July 1969, humankind conquered space with the first moon landing - an event which had a great impact on young Brian, who had just graduated from Imperial College London. The moon landings inspired his fascination with science and he would begin working on his PhD in astrophysics. He would also form the band Smile in this year with Roger Taylor, laying the foundations of what would become one of the biggest rock bands in the world: Queen.

The landmarks in music that year are almost too numerous to mention: Led Zeppelin released their debut album, The Who released Pinball Wizard, and David Bowie put out his futuristic single, Space Oddity. Hundreds and thousands of music fans flocked to events such as Woodstock to see some of the biggest artists in the world perform, the Rolling Stones put on a free concert in London’s Hyde Park, and Jimi Hendrix defied BBC producers when he played live on Lulu’s TV show.

Set to a soundtrack of amazing music, this is Brian’s personal insight into the year 1969 its resonance, in a year when Queen have earned their place in movie history with the Oscar-winning Bohemian Rhapsody.

This programme follows the recent release of his book, Mission Moon 3-D, co-written with Astronomy magazine’s Editor, David Eicher and it’s the first book on the space race in 3-D, with the foreward written by Charlie Duke, Apollo astronaut and the 10th man to walk on the moon.
