00:07:15,909 --> 00:07:12,319
over by a rover

166
00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:15,919
and drive a robot with their own hands

167
00:07:21,029 --> 00:07:17,919
for two days people shared the

168
00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:21,039

speech to congress

182
00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:16,000
in which he challenged the united states

183
00:08:18,869 --> 00:08:17,919
i believe that this nation should commit

184
00:08:20,790 --> 00:08:18,879
itself

185
00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:20,800
to achieving the goal

186
00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:22,879
before this decade is out

187
00:08:28,790 --> 00:08:24,560
of landing a man on the moon and

188
00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:30,869
since those words were spoken nasa has

189
00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:32,800
taken my brother's charge

190
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:35,360
and created a future that even he

191
00:08:39,430 --> 00:08:37,360
probably could not have dreamt up nasa

192
