the birth of Christ 5 00:00:35,019 --> 00:00:37,020 300 years before the birth of Christ the men of Alexandria were already 6 00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:37,030 the men of Alexandria were already 7 00:00:37,030 --> 00:00:38,939 the men of Alexandria were already making scientific measurements of the 8 00:00:38,939 --> 00:00:38,949 making scientific measurements of the 9 00:00:38,949 --> 00:00:41,939 making scientific measurements of the stars and planets and always since then 10 00:00:41,939 --> 00:00:41,949 stars and planets and always since then 11 00:00:41,949 --> 00:00:44,189 stars and planets and always since then there have been those whose imagination 12 00:00:44,189 --> 00:00:44,199 there have been those whose imagination 13 00:00:44,199 --> 00:00:46,259 there have been those whose imagination turned their eyes and thoughts to the 14 00:00:46,259 --> 00:00:46,269 turned their eyes and thoughts to the 15 00:00:46,269 --> 00:00:47,869 turned their eyes and

areas on a single moon trip and later return actual samples from the moon 116 00:03:17,300 --> 00:03:17,310 return actual samples from the moon 117 00:03:17,310 --> 00:03:23,030 return actual samples from the moon surface most importantly Saturn will 118 00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:23,040 surface most importantly Saturn will 119 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,370 surface most importantly Saturn will send a three-man spacecraft the Apollo 120 00:03:25,370 --> 00:03:25,380 send a three-man spacecraft the Apollo 121 00:03:25,380 --> 00:03:28,820 send a three-man spacecraft the Apollo around the moon and back to earth with 122 00:03:28,820 --> 00:03:28,830 around the moon and back to earth with 123 00:03:28,830 --> 00:03:31,280 around the moon and back to earth with refueling in space it could at last 124 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:31,290 refueling in space it could at last 125 00:03:31,290 --> 00:03:40,280 refueling in space it could at last carry man to the moon surface 126 00:03:40,280 -->

00:03:59,350 139 00:03:59,350 --> 00:04:02,260 and although the Space Age has but begun 140 00:04:02,260 --> 00:04:02,270 and although the Space Age has but begun 141 00:04:02,270 --> 00:04:04,690 and although the Space Age has but begun already we have accumulated a great 142 00:04:04,690 --> 00:04:04,700 already we have accumulated a great 143 00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:06,250 already we have accumulated a great wealth of technical and scientific 144 00:04:06,250 --> 00:04:06,260 wealth of technical and scientific 145 00:04:06,260 --> 00:04:09,700 wealth of technical and scientific experience basically Saturn is the 146 00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:09,710 experience basically Saturn is the 147 00:04:09,710 --> 00:04:12,280 experience basically Saturn is the outgrowth of mechanisms that have been 148 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:12,290 outgrowth of mechanisms that have been 149 00:04:12,290 --> 00:04:15,880 outgrowth of mechanisms that have been tested and proven the first guidance
