of the solar system how can you think of the soil 66 00:01:58,249 --> 00:01:58,259 system how can you think of the soil 67 00:01:58,259 --> 00:02:00,800 system how can you think of the soil being 4.5 billion years old when igneous 68 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:00,810 being 4.5 billion years old when igneous 69 00:02:00,810 --> 00:02:02,449 being 4.5 billion years old when igneous rocks which presumably underlying are 70 00:02:02,449 --> 00:02:02,459 rocks which presumably underlying are 71 00:02:02,459 --> 00:02:06,529 rocks which presumably underlying are only 3.5 or 3.7 billion years old this I 72 00:02:06,529 --> 00:02:06,539 only 3.5 or 3.7 billion years old this I 73 00:02:06,539 --> 00:02:09,919 only 3.5 or 3.7 billion years old this I suppose will be dramatically refuted or 74 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:09,929 suppose will be dramatically refuted or 75 00:02:09,929 --> 00:02:13,160 suppose will be dramatically refuted or confirmed at the Apollo 14 mission when 76 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:13,170 confirmed at the Apollo 14 mission when 77 00:02:13,170 --> 00:02:16,130 confirmed at the Apollo 14 mission when they actually visit from our most of the 78 00:02:16,130

00:05:01,900 for we had to be sure that the probe 133 00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:03,899 for we had to be sure that the probe would work for the most critical docking 134 00:05:03,899 --> 00:05:03,909 would work for the most critical docking 135 00:05:03,909 --> 00:05:06,540 would work for the most critical docking as Shepard and Mitchell returned from 136 00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:06,550 as Shepard and Mitchell returned from 137 00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:11,249 as Shepard and Mitchell returned from the lunar surface on February 4th Apollo 138 00:05:11,249 --> 00:05:11,259 the lunar surface on February 4th Apollo 139 00:05:11,259 --> 00:05:17,990 the lunar surface on February 4th Apollo 14 went into orbit around the moon as 140 00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:18,000 14 went into orbit around the moon as 141 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,689 14 went into orbit around the moon as Apollo 14 was on its first orbit the 142 00:05:21,689 --> 00:05:21,699 Apollo 14 was on its first orbit the 143 00:05:21,699 --> 00:05:23,879 Apollo 14 was on its first orbit the third stage of the Boosters smashed into 144 00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:23,889 third stage of the Boosters smashed into 145 00:05:23,889 --> 00:05:27,210 third stage of the Boosters smashed into the moon at its planned target point its 146 00:05:27,210 --> 00:05:27,220 the moon at its planned target point its 147 00:05:27,220 --> 00:05:29,640 the moon at its planned target point its impact picked up by the seismometer left 148 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:29,650 impact picked up by the seismometer left 149 00:05:29,650 --> 00:05:36,779 impact picked up by the seismometer left by Apollo 12 the structure of the moon's 150 00:05:36,779 --> 00:05:36,789 by Apollo 12 the structure of the moon's 151 00:05:36,789 --> 00:05:39,719 by Apollo 12 the structure of the moon's interior is one of the major mysteries 152 00:05:39,719 --> 00:05:39,729 interior is one of the major mysteries 153 00:05:39,729 --> 00:05:42,990 interior is one of the major mysteries of lunar science now another piece was 154 00:05:42,990 --> 00:05:43,000 of lunar science now another piece was 155 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,309 of lunar science now another piece was added that could help solve the puzzle 156 00:05:46,309 --> 00:05:46,319 added that could help solve the puzzle 157 00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:48,570 added that could help solve the puzzle later that day Shepard and Mitchell 158 00:05:48,570 --> 00:05:48,580 later that day Shepard and Mitchell 159 00:05:48,580 --> 00:05:51,149 later that day Shepard and Mitchell climbed into the lunar module Antares 160 00:05:51,149 --> 00:05:51,159 climbed into the lunar module Antares 161 00:05:51,159 --> 00:06:00,059 climbed into the lunar module Antares and undocked prior to descent but as 162 00:06:00,059 --> 00:06:00,069 and undocked prior to descent but as 163 00:06:00,069 --> 00:06:01,740 and undocked prior to descent but as they checked out the lunar module a 164 00:06:01,740 --> 00:06:01,750 they checked out the lunar module a 165 00:06:01,750 --> 00:06:05,279 they checked out the lunar module a problem appeared an erroneous abort was 166 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:05,289 problem appeared an erroneous abort was 167 00:06:05,289 --> 00:06:07,920 problem appeared an erroneous abort was being signaled on board Antares and in 168 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:07,930 being signaled on board Antares and in 169 00:06:07,930 --> 00:06:10,920 being signaled on board Antares and in Mission Control should this occur during 170 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:10,930 Mission Control should this occur during 171 00:06:10,930 --> 00:06:13,769 Mission Control should this occur during the landing burn Antares would abort 172 00:06:13,769 --> 00:06:13,779 the landing burn Antares would abort 173 00:06:13,779 --> 00:06:16,019 the landing burn Antares would abort automatically and the landing would be 174 00:06:16,019 --> 00:06:16,029 automatically and the landing would be 175 00:06:16,029 --> 00:06:19,230 automatically and the landing would be off the Mission Control team had two 176 00:06:19,230 --> 00:06:19,240 off the Mission Control team had two 177 00:06:19,240

hundred 637 00:25:00,389 --> 00:25:02,239 Apollo 12 over a year earlier a hundred and forty nine hours after they left 638 00:25:02,239 --> 00:25:02,249 and forty nine hours after they left 639 00:25:02,249 --> 00:25:04,969 and forty nine hours after they left Earth they performed the burn that broke 640 00:25:04,969 --> 00:25:04,979 Earth they performed the burn that broke 641 00:25:04,979 --> 00:25:09,049 Earth they performed the burn that broke them out of lunar orbit during the coast 642 00:25:09,049 --> 00:25:09,059 them out of lunar orbit during the coast 643 00:25:09,059 --> 00:25:11,029 them out of lunar orbit during the coast to earth there would be time to catch up 644 00:25:11,029 --> 00:25:11,039 to earth there would be time to catch up 645 00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:14,389 to earth there would be time to catch up on sleep relax and do all the little 646 00:25:14,389 --> 00:25:14,399 on sleep relax and do all the little 647 00:25:14,399 --> 00:25:20,779 on sleep relax and do all the little things left undone and there was one 648 00:25:20,779 --> 00:25:20,789 things left undone and there was one 649 00:25:20,789 --> 00:25:23,509 things left undone and there was one more item a series of scientific 650 00:25:23,509 --> 00:25:23,519 more item a series of scientific 651 00:25:23,519 --> 00:25:25,839 more item a series of scientific demonstrations in

those relate to the 680 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:14,530 extremely important those relate to the 681 00:26:14,530 --> 00:26:16,260 extremely important those relate to the question of why we while we're fooling 682 00:26:16,260 --> 00:26:16,270 question of why we while we're fooling 683 00:26:16,270 --> 00:26:19,230 question of why we while we're fooling around the loan it's really that the the 684 00:26:19,230 --> 00:26:19,240 around the loan it's really that the the 685 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,450 around the loan it's really that the the imprint of history of solar system 686 00:26:21,450 --> 00:26:21,460 imprint of history of solar system 687 00:26:21,460 --> 00:26:23,520 imprint of history of solar system history on the earth-moon system is 688 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:23,530 history on the earth-moon system is 689 00:26:23,530 --> 00:26:24,690 history on the earth-moon system is centered on the moon for the first 690 00:26:24,690 --> 00:26:24,700 centered on the moon for the first 691 00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:31,400 centered on the moon for the first billion years 692 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:31,410 693 00:26:31,410 --> 00:26:33,990 what do we hope to gain is we've got a 694 00:26:33,990 --> 00:26:34,000 what do we hope to gain is we've got a 695 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,600 what do we hope to gain is we've got a window right now between T equals zero 696 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:36,610 window right now between T equals zero 697 00:26:36,610 --> 00:26:38,549 window right now between T equals zero the beginning of the solar system and 698 00:26:38,549 --> 00:26:38,559 the beginning of the solar system and 699 00:26:38,559 --> 00:26:41,040 the beginning of the solar system and when the earth so totally messed up 700 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:41,050 when the earth so totally messed up 701 00:26:41,050 --> 00:26:43,370 when the earth so totally messed up itself that we can't look at it anymore 702 00:26:43,370 --> 00:26:43,380 itself that we can't look at it anymore 703 00:26:43,380 --> 00:26:46,799 itself that we can't look at it anymore we'd like to look in there and that 704 00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:46,809 we'd like to look in there and that 705 00:26:46,809 --> 00:26:54,330 we'd like to look in there and that windows on the moon Apollo 14 has 706 00:26:54,330 --> 00:26:54,340 windows on the moon Apollo 14 has 707 00:26:54,340 --> 00:26:56,180 windows on the moon Apollo 14 has already had a very big scientific impact 708 00:26:56,180 --> 00:26:56,190 already had a very big scientific impact 709 00:26:56,190 --> 00:26:58,880 already had a very big scientific impact and we still have three missions left 710 00:26:58,880 --> 00:26:58,890 and we still have three missions left 711 00:26:58,890 --> 00:27:01,200 and we still have three missions left they'll be heading into even more rugged 712 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:01,210 they'll be heading into even more rugged 713 00:27:01,210 --> 00:27:05,630 they'll be heading into even more rugged and more interesting areas of the moon 714 00:27:05,630 --> 00:27:05,640 715 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,000 beginning with Apollo 15 the lunar rover 716 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:09,010 beginning with Apollo 15 the lunar rover 717 00:27:09,010 --> 00:27:10,860 beginning with Apollo 15 the lunar rover will let us range further afield and 718 00:27:10,860 --> 00:27:10,870 will let us range further afield and 719 00:27:10,870 --> 00:27:13,560 will let us range further afield and collect more and more very percent of 720 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:13,570 collect more and more very percent of 721 00:27:13,570 --> 00:27:21,390 collect more and more very percent of examples and information the study of 722 00:27:21,390 --> 00:27:21,400 examples and information the study of 723 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,640 examples and information the study of the moon and how for instance elements 724 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:23,650 the moon and how for instance elements 725 00:27:23,650 --> 00:27:24,870 the moon and how for instance elements and minerals are distributed in its 726 00:27:24,870 --> 00:27:24,880 and minerals are distributed in its 727 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,600 and minerals are distributed in its crust will enable us to learn more about 728 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:27,610 crust will enable us to learn more about 729 00:27:27,610 --> 00:27:29,960 crust will enable us to learn more about the process of crest formation on earth 730 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:29,970 the process of crest formation on earth 731 00:27:29,970 --> 00:27:32,250 the process of crest formation on earth leading to a better understanding of the 732 00:27:32,250 --> 00:27:32,260 leading to a better understanding of the 733 00:27:32,260 --> 00:27:33,990 leading to a better understanding of the way that certain elements concentrate in 734 00:27:33,990 --> 00:27:34,000 way that certain elements concentrate in 735 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,530 way that certain elements concentrate in the crust will we have had enough 736 00:27:37,530 --> 00:27:37,540 the crust will we have had enough 737 00:27:37,540 --> 00:27:39,000 the crust will we have had enough missions to the moon by the end of the 738 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:39,010 missions to the moon by the end of the 739 00:27:39,010 --> 00:27:42,780 missions to the moon by the end of the Apollo program probably not you can 740 00:27:42,780 --> 00:27:42,790 Apollo program probably not you can 741 00:27:42,790 --> 00:27:44,880 Apollo program probably not you can never have enough knowledge but at least 742 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:44,890 never have enough knowledge but at least 743 00:27:44,890 --> 00:28:19,450 never have enough knowledge but at least it's an excellent beginning 744 00:28:19,450 --> 00:28:19,460 745 00:28:19,460 --> 00:28:21,520 you
