1
00:00:05,210 --> 00:00:02,419
after more than four days in flight

2
00:00:08,059 --> 00:00:05,220
getting out to the moon Apollo 11 was

3
00:00:09,799 --> 00:00:08,069
ready for the moon landing a little

4
00:00:11,810 --> 00:00:09,809
spaceship that it carried that was to

5
00:00:13,249 --> 00:00:11,820
land on the moon but never of course

6
00:00:15,650 --> 00:00:13,259
been tested in the weightless

7
00:00:18,019 --> 00:00:15,660
environment nobody knew whether was

8
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:18,029
going to work this was really the moment

9
00:00:40,190 --> 00:00:38,250
of truth we CBS and cameras all over the

10
00:00:43,130 --> 00:00:40,200
world what'd he do the court because

11
00:01:02,060 --> 00:00:43,140
reaction to the success or that possible

12
00:01:04,219 --> 00:01:02,070
failure of the mission at 2:47 in the

13
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:04,229
afternoon mr. P's Ellington had decided

14
00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:05,850
to spend the rest of his day watching

15
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:09,360
Walter Cronkite people from all walks of

16
00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:11,520
life all corners of the world and come

17
00:01:18,740 --> 00:01:14,960
together to watch that historic moment

18
00:01:22,179 --> 00:01:18,750
there was much to thank God for and they

19
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:22,189
prayed for the men going to the moon to

20
00:01:27,710 --> 00:01:25,470
know we didn't have any images of this

21
00:01:30,620 --> 00:01:27,720
part of the flight that is the actual

22
00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:30,630
landing of the limb so with NASA's

23
00:01:36,670 --> 00:01:33,600
helped our CBS animators very cleverly

24
00:01:38,569 --> 00:01:36,680
it created a whole film that showed

25
00:01:40,940 --> 00:01:38,579
second-by-second exactly what was

26
00:01:43,550 --> 00:01:40,950
happening in that lunar module as it

27
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:43,560
touched down at the precise moment

28
00:01:48,980 --> 00:01:45,329
because the module approached the moon

29
00:01:50,539 --> 00:01:48,990
we began running that animation when we

30
00:01:52,819 --> 00:01:50,549
knew that the final thing that was going

31
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:52,829
to happen would be that this green light

32
00:01:59,179 --> 00:01:55,680
by the door would go on indicating

33
00:02:01,280 --> 00:01:59,189
touchdown it was just one little problem

34
00:02:03,859 --> 00:02:01,290
we had there these are the NASA

35
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:03,869
engineers who helps with that animation

36
00:02:08,510 --> 00:02:06,329
or anybody else at NASA including the

37
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:08,520
astronauts on the way down to the moon

38
00:02:13,369 --> 00:02:11,760
and expected that cloud of dust that

39
00:02:15,410 --> 00:02:13,379
their Rockets raised they knew they're

40
00:02:17,210 --> 00:02:15,420
gonna be sunk but not so much that they

41
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:17,220
really couldn't see through it was

42
00:02:21,229 --> 00:02:18,930
really a life-threatening matter in the

43
00:02:22,670 --> 00:02:21,239
module Armstrong couldn't see where he

44
00:02:24,559 --> 00:02:22,680
was going but he had to do some

45
00:02:25,339 --> 00:02:24,569
maneuvering with that landing fuel

46
00:02:28,430 --> 00:02:25,349
almost gone

47
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:28,440
he made that command decision he just

48
00:02:31,580 --> 00:02:30,930
had to move sideways to get out of the

49
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:31,590
dust storm

50
00:02:35,930 --> 00:02:34,769
well our animation you see was still

51
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:35,940
running while he was making that

52
00:02:39,460 --> 00:02:38,610
decision spending a few extra seconds to

53
00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:39,470
move the limb

54
00:02:44,820 --> 00:02:41,630
well suddenly the arrival lights go on

55
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:44,830
in our animated module the lamb is down

56
00:02:50,890 --> 00:02:48,770
according to CBS millions of people I

57
00:02:54,490 --> 00:02:50,900
suppose around the world now cheering

58
00:02:57,820 --> 00:02:54,500
the successful landing of the limb but

59
00:02:58,330 --> 00:02:57,830
that was our animation actually on the

60
00:03:02,230 --> 00:02:58,340
moon

61
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:02,240
Armstrong still 50 feet up and he is in

62
00:03:06,220 --> 00:03:03,560
big trouble

63
00:03:09,220 --> 00:03:06,230
it took him 40 more seconds with this

64
00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:09,230
fuel running out get down on the surface

65
00:03:16,950 --> 00:03:13,280
and most of us well

66
00:03:20,410 --> 00:03:16,960
we choose not to remember ow CBS News

67
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:20,420
landed on the moon nearly 40 seconds

68
00:03:37,170 --> 00:03:34,050
putting feet down to a nap picking up

69
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:37,180
some dust city peace two and a half down

70
00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:42,400
make that home for forward forward rip

71
00:03:57,530 --> 00:03:45,120
into the right little hey and a half

72
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:01,970
okay engine stop is there to beat them

73
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:09,730
all of these in command override off my

74
00:04:23,850 --> 00:04:20,940
technology they is the eagle has landed

75
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:23,860
rocket wing tranquility we copy on the

76
00:04:32,730 --> 00:04:25,690
ground you got a bunch of guys about to

77
00:04:35,010 --> 00:04:32,740
turn blue I had as long as NASA to

78
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:35,020
prepare for that land he might thought

79
00:04:41,820 --> 00:04:37,770
of a lot of fine words that I could say

80
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:41,830
appropriate for the momentous nature of

81
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:44,080
this occasion itself words that would

82
00:04:51,060 --> 00:04:46,630
live in history and then the landing

83
00:05:00,230 --> 00:04:51,070
took place and what did this great CBS

84
00:05:03,540 --> 00:05:00,240
commentator say why I was speechless I

85
00:05:05,730 --> 00:05:03,550
was speechless and again it's one of

86
00:05:07,260 --> 00:05:05,740
those events that maybe I'd like to play

87
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:07,270
it differently but I'm not so sure I

88
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:10,090
would it was that kind of a moment a

89
00:05:15,870 --> 00:05:13,170
speechless moment for all mankind

90
00:05:19,290 --> 00:05:15,880
the astronauts journey of course was not

91
00:05:21,930 --> 00:05:19,300
over what would happen when man opened

92
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:21,940
that door opened that door

93
00:05:27,670 --> 00:05:24,610
stepped down and actually stood on the

94
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:37,890
okay and I'm on the board Roger Dale

95
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:40,330
Jania we see you coming down the ladder

96
00:05:47,950 --> 00:05:41,890
now

97
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:47,960
and they'll step off the lemon at one

98
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:54,110
full step for man one giant leap

99
00:06:01,960 --> 00:05:59,600
Samantha Armstrong is on the moon 38

100
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:01,970
year old American standing on the
