00:00:39,310 --> 00:00:35,850
as a manager we would like to amend you

2
00:00:42,939 --> 00:00:39,320
beginning god created heaven in the

3
00:00:46,060 --> 00:00:42,949
earth in the earth without form and void

4
00:00:50,290 --> 00:00:46,070
and darkness was upon the face of the

5
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:50,300
deep God moved upon the face of the

6
00:00:56,380 --> 00:00:54,170
waters and God said let there be light

7
00:01:00,789 --> 00:00:56,390
and there was light

8
00:01:02,969 --> 00:01:00,799
and God saw the light today was good and

9
00:01:06,550 --> 00:01:02,979
God divided the light from the darkness

10
00:01:10,030 --> 00:01:06,560
and God called the light day and the

11
00:01:11,130 --> 00:01:10,040
darkness he called night and the morning

12
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:11,140
were the first day

13
00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:14,890
in the beginning the void the darkness

14
00:01:21,399 --> 00:01:20,720
then light then life and from life came

15
00:01:24,819 --> 00:01:21,409
man

16
00:01:26,819 --> 00:01:24,829
joining the caravan for the long slow

17
00:01:31,250 --> 00:01:26,829
journey through a world of discovery

his marks his milestones stretch out

19
00:01:41,380 --> 00:01:37,740
through the centuries his footsteps echo

20
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:41,390
down through the corridors of time time

21
00:01:49,820 --> 00:01:47,010
July 1969 in Florida the footsteps the

22
00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:49,830
caravan quickened the corridor shortened

23
00:02:21,680 --> 00:01:53,340
as man reached outside his world into

24
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:21,690
another boy today in Florida they go

25
00:02:26,780 --> 00:02:24,690
about their lives taking only a sideways

26
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:26,790
glance at the reminders of that

27
00:02:41,690 --> 00:02:30,690
milestone reminders images that vaguely

28
00:02:54,780 --> 00:02:45,570
of 32 minutes past the hour the start of

29
00:03:00,990 --> 00:02:57,630
it plays tricks on it it smudges and

30
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:01,000
blurs the sharp edges of reality but we

31
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:30,610
turn the trick our own reality they came

32
00:03:37,410 --> 00:03:34,600

33
00:03:41,490 --> 00:03:37,420
history in the making the prime crew

34
00:03:43,230 --> 00:03:41,500
we're away from the proceeded to have a

35
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:43,240
physical examination in which they were

36
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:45,760
declared ready they sat down for the

37
00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:48,310
normal astronaut theory on my first

the target for the Apollo 11 astronauts

41
00:04:03,600 --> 00:03:59,500
the moon at liftoff will be at a

42
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:03,610
distance of 200 18,000 96 miles away the

43
00:04:07,590 --> 00:04:05,530
astronauts departed from their crew

44
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:07,600
quarters after checking out their suit

45
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:10,450
State Department reporters at 6:27 a.m.

46
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:13,690
and some 27 minutes later he's miles

47
00:04:17,729 --> 00:04:15,370
away from the crew quarters at the

48
00:04:21,810 --> 00:04:17,739
Kennedy Space Center atop the launch pad

49
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:21,820
at complex 39 6:54 a.m. the commander

50
00:04:26,670 --> 00:04:23,770
astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first

51
00:04:29,250 --> 00:04:26,680
to board the space path he was followed

52
00:04:31,290 --> 00:04:29,260
about five minutes later by Mike Collins

53
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:31,300
and finally resolved and the man who was

54
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:32,320
sitting in the middle seat

55
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:38,290
but during liftoff the weather certainly

56
00:04:41,580 --> 00:04:40,000
go it's a beautiful morning for a launch

57
00:04:43,469 --> 00:04:41,590
to the moon we expect the temperatures

58
00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:43,479
about 85 degrees in the Kennedy Space

00:04:48,890 --> 00:04:46,479

blue we're bringing it again

68
00:06:43,469 --> 00:06:40,659
thanks a lot Apollo 11 Armstrong Aldrin

69
00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:43,479
and Collins they and millions of others

70
00:07:00,980 --> 00:06:46,479
reached out and in their own way touched

71
00:07:07,140 --> 00:07:03,899
the images remind us that it happened

72
00:07:09,779 --> 00:07:07,150
but not how it really was in the context

73
00:07:11,909 --> 00:07:09,789
of the time George Lowe one of the

74
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:11,919
architects of the Apollo program does

75
00:07:16,710 --> 00:07:14,889
remember if you think back at the the

76
00:07:19,860 --> 00:07:16,720
period of the sixties it weren't very

77
00:07:22,140 --> 00:07:19,870
happy you as a general we had well the

78
00:07:25,770 --> 00:07:22,150
ever deepening involvement in Vietnam we

79
00:07:27,540 --> 00:07:25,780
had riots on the campuses riots and

80
00:07:31,830 --> 00:07:27,550
Watson Ellsworth really terrible

81
00:07:34,290 --> 00:07:31,840
assassination a great deal of strife and

82
00:07:37,890 --> 00:07:34,300
turmoil in the country and yet all of

83
00:07:41,159 --> 00:07:37,900
this was overcome by one single event

84
00:07:44,010 --> 00:07:41,169
and there was Apollo 11 the decade ended

85
00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:44,020
with it it was a fantastic adventure

86
00:07:51,709 --> 00:07:47,680
that I believe helped overcome all the

87
00:07:55,469 --> 00:07:51,719
bad things of decades it represented

88
00:07:57,839 --> 00:07:55,479
Americans to ourselves and particularly

89
00:07:59,939 --> 00:07:57,849
to the rest of the world as we like to

90
00:08:20,900 --> 00:07:59,949
see ourselves and as we hope the rest of

91
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:24,870
the equipment of Apollo some of it is

92
00:08:29,850 --> 00:08:27,130
now in museums artifacts from an age of

93
00:08:33,270 --> 00:08:29,860
discovery these strange-looking object

94
00:08:35,790 --> 00:08:33,280
there is reminders that after all it did

95
00:08:43,890 --> 00:08:35,800
happen and it happened the way we

96
00:08:47,130 --> 00:08:43,900
remember the facilities of Apollo now

97
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:47,140
silent and still in Houston Mission

98
00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:49,570
Control the nerve center of manned

99
00:08:55,860 --> 00:08:52,750
flight operations the chapters of space

100
00:08:57,900 --> 00:08:55,870
history first Mercury's and geminis and

101
00:09:01,570 --> 00:08:57,910
Apollo were written by the people who

102
00:09:07,420 --> 00:09:04,460
and these chapters of history came at us

103
00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:07,430
with breakneck speed Christmas Eve 1968

104
00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:12,000
in the beginning Apollo 8 the footsteps

105
00:09:19,850 --> 00:09:17,190
were quickening a few months later

106
00:09:22,190 --> 00:09:19,860
Apollo 9 the long years of preparation

107
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:22,200
were contracting in today's alphas

108
00:09:32,210 --> 00:09:24,330
minutes the first man flight of the

109
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:32,220
lunar module the spider Apollo 10 the

110
00:09:37,730 --> 00:09:34,490
dress rehearsal for the real thing in

111
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:37,740
five months three missions and in the

112
00:10:27,500 --> 00:09:40,590
seventh month the fail then the

113
00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:30,300
the images and the sounds fade in our

114
00:10:37,290 --> 00:10:32,910
memories but some things we can't forget

115
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:37,300
names Apollo 11 Armstrong Aldrin and

116
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:46,210
Collins other names Grissom white and

117
00:10:51,570 --> 00:10:48,910
Chaffey they remind us that it wasn't

118
00:10:56,070 --> 00:10:51,580
all success and celebration there was

119
00:10:58,710 --> 00:10:56,080
failure tragedy early in 1967 the three

120
00:11:00,150 --> 00:10:58,720
crawled into the command module at Cape

121
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:00,160
Kennedy for a test

122
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:05,250
there was a flash fire all three died

123
00:11:10,710 --> 00:11:08,050
after the shock came the long painful

124
00:11:12,990 --> 00:11:10,720
job of picking up the pieces learning

125
00:11:16,110 --> 00:11:13,000
the lessons coming together for a common

126
00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:16,120
goal the remains of the launch structure

127
00:11:30,370 --> 00:11:18,310
stand as a reminder that the goal was

128
00:11:35,390 --> 00:11:33,260
these strange shapes what do they mean

129
00:11:39,110 --> 00:11:35,400
these towers of Steel

130
00:11:41,750 --> 00:11:39,120
what are they monuments or leftovers

131
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:41,760
from some earlier age of discovery in

132
00:11:47,930 --> 00:11:44,850
the long history of man in the slow

133
00:11:51,830 --> 00:11:47,940
journey of the caravan what point did

134
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:51,840
these mark historian Arthur Schlessinger

135
00:11:58,450 --> 00:11:55,710
I have no doubt at all that if posterity

136
00:12:01,160 --> 00:11:58,460
remembers the 20th century for anything

137
00:12:03,980 --> 00:12:01,170
historians 500 years from now looking at

138
00:12:07,250 --> 00:12:03,990
the 20th century it will be because it

139
00:12:10,010 --> 00:12:07,260
will be the century when man first began

140
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:10,020
to break his terrestrial bonds and began

141
00:12:22,740 --> 00:12:13,250
the exploration of space

142
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:26,490
as man learned moved on and discarded

143
00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:28,570
the earlier structures he came to these

144
00:12:34,650 --> 00:12:31,440
they're marked for further milestones

145
00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:34,660
reserved for future missions other

146
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:51,780
historians five centuries from now will

147
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:54,610
mark this century this place and they

148
00:12:58,110 --> 00:12:56,530
will further know that from the void

149
00:13:01,530 --> 00:12:58,120
life man

150
00:13:04,050 --> 00:13:01,540
it took eons to reach this point but

151
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:04,060
once there the centuries and years

152
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:06,910
compressed in the days hours split

153
00:13:24,609 --> 00:13:21,999
we'll the engine in the airplane became

154
00:13:29,169 --> 00:13:24,619
slowly at first then with increasing

155
00:13:32,409 --> 00:13:29,179
velocity and then this so huge of

156
00:13:35,379 --> 00:13:32,419
powerful so different that no ordinary

157
00:13:37,869 --> 00:13:35,389
modern name would suffice they reach

158
00:13:44,069 --> 00:13:37,879
backward through antiquity to Roman

159
00:13:44,079 --> 00:14:00,509
Saturn his father was heaven his mother

160
00:14:05,739 --> 00:14:03,789
the complex organizations of mammoth

161
00:14:08,979 --> 00:14:05,749
machines the incredibly detailed

162
00:14:13,139 --> 00:14:08,989
technical knowledge the dedication was

163
00:14:16,539 --> 00:14:13,149
all harness sharpened to a fine edge and

164
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:16,549
focused the program developed and

165
00:14:23,409 --> 00:14:20,569
matured Apollo 17 was launched at night

166
00:14:25,929 --> 00:14:23,419
and even the old hands the ardent

167
00:14:28,659 --> 00:14:25,939
veterans of the space program couldn't

168
00:14:32,260 --> 00:14:28,669
help but feel them or wonder and

169
00:14:37,540 --> 00:14:34,810
in the excitement of a split second of

170
00:14:40,060 --> 00:14:37,550
exploration man doesn't stop to freeze

171
00:14:41,199 --> 00:14:40,070
the moment in history to look at it and

172
00:14:44,889 --> 00:14:41,209
ask what it means

173
00:14:47,829 --> 00:14:44,899
he simply lives it out but in the Apollo

174
00:14:49,870 --> 00:14:47,839
program under way to the moon they found

175
00:14:53,590 --> 00:14:49,880
a way to live out their strange moments

176
00:14:56,139 --> 00:14:53,600
in those strange spacecraft it may be

177
00:15:49,049 --> 00:14:56,149
the peculiar nature of Americans to make

178
00:15:57,929 --> 00:15:51,989
they relaxed and had fun because they we

179
00:16:01,109 --> 00:15:57,939
were confident of success but the

180
00:16:03,439 --> 00:16:01,119
program teaches lessons confidence is a

181
00:16:15,149 --> 00:16:03,449
transitory thing

182
00:16:18,239 --> 00:16:15,159
Apollo 13 by 13 we're looking at it

183
00:16:21,149 --> 00:16:18,249
three days out barreling toward the moon

184
00:16:22,889 --> 00:16:21,159
an explosion no one would see the

185
00:16:23,819 --> 00:16:22,899
problem for some time but they went to

186
00:16:25,979 --> 00:16:23,829
work on it

187
00:16:29,339 --> 00:16:25,989
the people of Apollo coalesced into a

188
00:16:32,069 --> 00:16:29,349
single dedicated unit linked themselves

189
00:16:35,189 --> 00:16:32,079
with their technology and cheated

190
00:16:36,509 --> 00:16:35,199
tragedy a new chapter in space history

191
00:16:39,509 --> 00:16:36,519
was written in Mission Control

192
00:16:42,269 --> 00:16:39,519
Eugene crash was the flight director

193
00:16:46,109 --> 00:16:42,279
when the problem developed a threat this

194
00:16:49,529 --> 00:16:46,119
entire next several days there was one

195
00:16:52,499 --> 00:16:49,539
dominant thought in the minds of all of

196
00:16:54,869 --> 00:16:52,509
the flight controllers we teach him that

197
00:16:57,869 --> 00:16:54,879
between God country and your own

198
00:17:00,049 --> 00:16:57,879
capability that you can solve any

199
00:17:02,279 --> 00:17:00,059
problem that may occur in flight

200
00:17:04,230 --> 00:17:02,289
throughout the entire course of Apollo

201
00:17:06,809 --> 00:17:04,240
13 there was never any death that we'd

202
00:17:08,489 --> 00:17:06,819
get the crew back so there was a very

203
00:17:10,499 --> 00:17:08,499
positive approach and with this kind of

204
00:17:15,449 --> 00:17:10,509
approach you can solve just about any

205
00:17:21,069 --> 00:17:18,730
solve any problem country capability

206
00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:21,079
old-fashioned words during a time when

207
00:17:26,370 --> 00:17:23,839
some said the old-fashioned virtues were

208
00:17:29,649 --> 00:17:26,380
forgotten well they weren't forgotten

209
00:17:31,899 --> 00:17:29,659
they were translated into action into

210
00:17:34,389 --> 00:17:31,909
programs which took man soaring above

211
00:17:43,180 --> 00:17:34,399
the surface of the Moon away from Earth

212
00:17:49,820 --> 00:17:47,930
these divided thoughts the moon deer run

213
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:49,830
through the Apollo program a sort of

214
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:52,890
theme they went there flying in a

215
00:17:57,890 --> 00:17:55,110
graceful machines but they always

216
00:18:01,100 --> 00:17:57,900
thought back to where they came from

217
00:18:36,450 --> 00:18:01,110
perhaps that's natural the moon is a

218
00:18:36,460 --> 00:18:50,910
you

219
00:18:57,090 --> 00:18:53,950
it's strange for men for mankind

220
00:18:58,750 --> 00:18:57,100
exchanger still for the individual man

221
00:19:05,290 --> 00:18:58,760
Harrison Schmitt

222
00:19:08,110 --> 00:19:05,300
he touched the moon and remembers how it

223
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:08,120
was when Apollo 17 was making its

224
00:19:14,370 --> 00:19:11,510
descent the last flight to the moon the

225
00:19:17,650 --> 00:19:14,380
last time the man walked on the surface

226
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:17,660
Schmitt remembers how it was once first

227
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:20,930
feelings are a mixture a very complex

228
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:26,690
mixture of humility excitement because

229
00:19:31,270 --> 00:19:28,490
of something you had plan to do was

230
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:31,280
being accomplished but of a great

231
00:19:37,030 --> 00:19:34,730
attention to detail to the to the detail

232
00:19:39,670 --> 00:19:37,040
that you had thought about and learned

233
00:19:43,180 --> 00:19:39,680
about for so many years prior to the

234
00:19:45,570 --> 00:19:43,190
actual event that detail keeps you

235
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:45,580
occupied with where your hands are and

236
00:19:50,590 --> 00:19:48,890
where your feet are which rung they

237
00:19:52,950 --> 00:19:50,600
might be you try to remember well am i

238
00:19:55,990 --> 00:19:52,960
at the bottom of the rung and then

239
00:19:58,750 --> 00:19:56,000
there's one moves away and tests its way

240
00:20:01,600 --> 00:19:58,760
on the surface of the Moon and looks

241
00:20:04,860 --> 00:20:01,610
around and in my case looked around a

242
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:04,870
very magnificent valley you see a

243
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:09,050
rolling hilly country that is

244
00:20:13,030 --> 00:20:10,910
interspersed with some blocky

245
00:20:15,610 --> 00:20:13,040
fields of rocks that you know because

246
00:20:18,670 --> 00:20:15,620
you've studied the photographs and you

247
00:20:21,030 --> 00:20:18,680
saw them as you descended surround large

248
00:20:23,549 --> 00:20:21,040
craters that have been formed in that

249
00:20:26,639 --> 00:20:23,559
rolling countryside

250
00:20:29,580 --> 00:20:26,649
seed rolling dark hills urge in the

251
00:20:33,690 --> 00:20:29,590
distance a few kilometers away with the

252
00:20:38,249 --> 00:20:33,700
very smooth but very bright colored

253
00:20:43,049 --> 00:20:38,259
slopes of the Massif and they rise with

254
00:20:44,730 --> 00:20:43,059
a majesty - rocky tops that are almost

255
00:20:46,889 --> 00:20:44,740
beyond description because there's

256
00:20:53,730 --> 00:20:46,899
nothing like this that we have seen on

257
00:20:59,549 --> 00:20:57,690
The Sea of Tranquility hadley rill

258
00:21:02,680 --> 00:20:59,559
taurus-littrow

259
00:21:05,410 --> 00:21:02,690
they were once strange names on the map

260
00:21:08,590 --> 00:21:05,420
of the moon but the men of Apollo gave

261
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:08,600
reality to the names by being there and

262
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:12,290
showing us the places they explored 60

263
00:21:17,140 --> 00:21:14,690
miles of its surface and their travels

264
00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:17,150
took them to craters foothills to

265
00:21:24,460 --> 00:21:21,710
explore to observe and to sample the

266
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:24,470
hard rock proof of the power enshrined

267
00:21:30,970 --> 00:21:26,450
in the Smithsonian Institution in

268
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:30,980
Washington DC for 78.8 grams of micro

269
00:21:37,030 --> 00:21:33,890
breccia under glass for mere earthlings

270
00:21:38,830 --> 00:21:37,040
to see and whisper about other rocks

271
00:21:41,020 --> 00:21:38,840
from the moon eight hundred and forty

272
00:21:42,730 --> 00:21:41,030
pounds are being studied and talked

273
00:21:47,140 --> 00:21:42,740
about by scientists in laboratories

274
00:21:48,940 --> 00:21:47,150
around the world not only rocks tens of

275
00:21:52,049 --> 00:21:48,950
thousands of photographs of those

276
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:52,059
strange exotic features of the moon and

277
00:21:58,900 --> 00:21:56,510
telemetry data on tape facts figures the

278
00:22:01,210 --> 00:21:58,910
studies will go on for years and the

279
00:22:04,060 --> 00:22:01,220
answers will come slowly answers to

280
00:22:07,180 --> 00:22:04,070
questions about the moon and the solar

281
00:22:09,340 --> 00:22:07,190
system the science of Apollo is not

282
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:09,350
really concerned with samples from past

283
00:22:14,860 --> 00:22:12,530
milestones yesterday's missions in a

284
00:22:17,799 --> 00:22:14,870
special room in Houston men sit at

285
00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:17,809
consoles and command instruments on the

286
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:21,110
moon to send them today's data and they

287
00:22:27,970 --> 00:22:22,650
receive it today

288
00:22:36,290 --> 00:22:32,600
science that's the key and technology

289
00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:36,300
and something else in the drama of the

290
00:22:41,180 --> 00:22:38,400
moment if you stop to think of the

291
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:41,190
essential element the one thing that

292
00:22:46,820 --> 00:22:44,040
made it happen people came to this

293
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:46,830
program government people university

294
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:49,530
people contractor people they brought to

295
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:52,370
Apolo skills and knowledge and

296
00:22:58,870 --> 00:22:55,410
determination this source of human

297
00:23:01,970 --> 00:22:58,880
intellectual energy was Marshall focused

298
00:23:04,310 --> 00:23:01,980
challenged what came out of the effort

299
00:23:07,700 --> 00:23:04,320
was not just a very successful program

300
00:23:15,260 --> 00:23:07,710
but a rich national resource of vast

301
00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:18,210
crystals from the moon the symbols of

302
00:23:50,460 --> 00:23:21,910
the science of Apollo behind it causing

303
00:23:53,220 --> 00:23:50,470
it was the spirit we saw something of

304
00:23:56,070 --> 00:23:53,230
this spirit we shared in the adventure

305
00:23:58,170 --> 00:23:56,080
the excitement the euphoria of being

306
00:24:01,550 --> 00:23:58,180
there we shared it with a man who

307
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:01,560
bounced across the surface of the Moon

308
00:24:10,340 --> 00:24:07,510
and the surprise of discovery we were

309
00:24:29,910 --> 00:24:10,350
there to all of us watching

310
00:24:33,660 --> 00:24:29,920
explorers and the meaning the

311
00:24:36,330 --> 00:24:33,670
significance of an occasion back to King

312
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:36,340
Lewis flashed into our living rooms on

313
00:24:46,380 --> 00:24:41,890
our 19-inch window on the universe will

314
00:24:48,260 --> 00:24:46,390
be a temple over our feelings are put

315
00:24:51,150 --> 00:24:48,270
the feelings of the Apollo program power

316
00:24:59,299 --> 00:24:51,160
and a simple Amman time if we can't live

317
00:25:05,509 --> 00:25:02,330
there was also pride they put up the

318
00:25:09,259 --> 00:25:05,519
flag and posed for pictures as any

319
00:25:12,049 --> 00:25:09,269
visitor to a foreign place might do the

320
00:25:14,450 --> 00:25:12,059
flag of each mission stood there as a

321
00:25:16,399 --> 00:25:14,460
reminder that we have been there but

322
00:25:19,940 --> 00:25:16,409
there was the realization that in truth

323
00:25:26,260 --> 00:25:19,950
it belonged to all the people there are

324
00:25:32,530 --> 00:25:29,950
the focus was the moon that's what it

325
00:25:36,940 --> 00:25:32,540
was all about but by reaching up there

326
00:25:40,810 --> 00:25:36,950
we in a sense came back here as one

327
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:40,820
stands and scans a 360 degree panorama

328
00:25:48,790 --> 00:25:45,050
of his own one of the first objects in

329
00:25:51,220 --> 00:25:48,800
the dark lunar sky that you see is a

330
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:51,230
bright and beautiful bluish globe that

331
00:26:01,630 --> 00:25:56,210
we call earth this globe represented to

332
00:26:05,140 --> 00:26:01,640
all of us I think not only home but a

333
00:26:07,990 --> 00:26:05,150
very fragile place that we have come

334
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:08,000
back and felt that needed not only

335
00:26:20,860 --> 00:26:17,330
protection but understanding they first

336
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:20,870
went there in 1969 they last left there

337
00:26:27,850 --> 00:26:25,250
in late 1972 between the beginning and

338
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:27,860
the conclusion they came to feel to

339
00:26:33,370 --> 00:26:31,250
dimly perceive what it was all about you

340
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:33,380
come to a perspective on the meaning of

341
00:26:36,730 --> 00:26:34,010
it all

342
00:26:39,820 --> 00:26:36,740
poet Archibald MacLeish is said it

343
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:39,830
better than most to see the earth as it

344
00:26:47,230 --> 00:26:43,820
truly is small and blue and beautiful in

345
00:26:50,410 --> 00:26:47,240
that eternal silence where it floats is

346
00:26:54,549 --> 00:26:50,420
to see ourselves as riders on the earth

347
00:27:05,680 --> 00:26:54,559
together brothers who know now they are

348
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:08,600
the excitement of the mission the

349
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:11,850
tension and drama of the splashdown they

350
00:27:16,910 --> 00:27:14,910
remain only in our memories and in time

351
00:27:20,210 --> 00:27:16,920
they'll be replaced in the future by

352
00:27:22,570 --> 00:27:20,220
other missions other memories the

353
00:27:25,670 --> 00:27:22,580
moments of Apollo may be over but the

354
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:25,680
understanding and the discovery they go

355
00:27:33,350 --> 00:27:29,010
on and the full meaning the real meaning

356
00:27:36,260 --> 00:27:33,360
may yet be in the future too but for now

357
00:27:39,230 --> 00:27:36,270
for the present the images and the
