Very cool!!! I hope they do an EVA 2 and a liftoff too.

NukeGuy

This doesn’t sound at all like the Apollo 12 crew. Sounds like Apollo 17.

Rick Mulheirn

Excellent…. Though the touchdown is Apollo 17. But that doesn’t detract in my opinion.

Buel

Hmmm... so is it the landing AND audio that is Apollo 17?

Blackarrow

The audio is definitely from the Apollo 17 landing, which is baffling in a video about Apollo 12. I might add that the actual audio from the Apollo 12 landing is wonderfully animated and exhilarating, as might be expected coming from Pete Conrad and Al Bean. Why not use the Real McCoy?

Furthermore, at the start of this video, the date of the Apollo 12 lunar landing is given as "November 24th." I don't wish to seem unduly harsh, but basic research would have established that the Apollo 12 landing actually took place on November 19th.

David C

Interesting. I haven’t done any measurements, but my gut feeling is that it doesn’t look quite right either.

Captain Apollo

Looking at the LRO images of the Apollo 12 site, the astronauts in this video do seem to walk too far a distance.

You may be surprised when you have a look at the following planimetric map, created by Brian McInall for the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal. I think you will find that Conrad and Bean walked notable distances on their two EVA periods:
