did he was he part of the primordial

14
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:51,360
explosion that set us up

15
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:55,520
was he a passerby that got caught

16
00:01:01,910 --> 00:00:58,559
or was he just a late comer that pounded

17
00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:01,920
into the surface and got buried

18
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:05,439

american hero

27
00:01:53,109 --> 00:01:50,950
astronaut ken mattingly will handle the

28
00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:53,119
orbital science and photography for the

29
00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:55,200
apollo 16 flight

30
00:01:59,590 --> 00:01:57,280
in a water tank at the mann space center

31
00:02:01,990 --> 00:01:59,600
houston he practiced going outside the

32
00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:02,000
spacecraft during the trip earthward

33
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:04,159
he'll do just that to retrieve special

34
00:02:08,869 --> 00:02:06,240
mapping cameras housed behind the

35
00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:08,879
command module we asked him to explain

36
00:02:13,589 --> 00:02:11,360
how he'll do it

37
00:02:14,710 --> 00:02:13,599
we open the hatch i'll come outside and

38
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:14,720

television poll we'll be taking a

40
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:20,800
command module television picture and a

41
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:23,440
16 millimeter photographic record of the

42
00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:25,440
eva transfer

43
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:28,080
after we get the camera set up and we

44
00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:30,160
start out charlie will come up to the

45
00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:32,800
hatch and he he will be tending

46
00:03:13,990 --> 00:02:34,879
the umbilical that provides me with my

47
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:15,830
the subsequent maneuvers all went

48
00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:18,720
without a hitch then the next day april

49
00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:19,840
20th

50
00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:22,319
young and duke undocked the lunar module

51
00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:24,879
preparatory to landing leaving mattingly

52
00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:42,470
april 25

53
00:03:46,910 --> 00:03:44,799
ken mattingly left the confines of the

54
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:46,920
command module cabin

55
00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:50,480
173 000 miles from earth

56
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:52,959
as he orbited the moon he had not only

57
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:55,200
made visual observations

58
00:03:58,869 --> 00:03:57,280
he had been operating a complex series

59
00:04:01,270 --> 00:03:58,879
of experiments

60
00:04:02,949 --> 00:04:01,280
many of these had returned instant data

61
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:02,959
to houston

62
00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:04,560
two had taken thousands of

63
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:06,400
high-resolution pictures of the lunar

64
00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:07,920
terrain

65
00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:08,879
now

66
00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:11,040
mattingly retrieved the film canisters

67
00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:13,040
and made his way back to the cabin with

68
00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:15,439
them as charlie duke stood in the hatch

69
00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:16,560
to help him

70
00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:19,040
the first step which will occur

71
00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:22,400
will be the attaching of the biomedical

72
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:24,720
sensors to their bodies

73
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:26,479
