00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:30,560

beyond we thank the congress

00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:46,949
now we must consider ourselves among the

35
00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:49,200
most fortunate of all generations for we

36
00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:51,200
have lived at a time

37
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:54,879
when the dream became a reality

38
00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:56,800
when we finally could travel above the

39
00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,200
atmosphere around the earth

40
00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:01,280
where we could establish laboratories in

41
00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:02,640
space

42
00:03:08,309 --> 00:03:04,959
and do research

43
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:08,319
and for the very first time in history

44
00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:11,680
leave human footprints on some place

45
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:13,840
other than earth

46
00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:16,800
as neil and buzz and mike made their

47
00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:19,680
epic journey

48
00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:21,280
the message they left on the lunar

49
00:03:24,949 --> 00:03:22,879
surface

50
00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:24,959
could be said of all our manned space

51
00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:27,360
travels

52
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:38,149
these dreams were brought to life

53
00:03:43,030 --> 00:03:40,720
by one of the most dedicated and capable

54
00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:43,040
teams ever put together workers

55
00:03:48,949 --> 00:03:46,400

00:03:51,430 --> 00:03:48,959
honored as we are today

57
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:51,440
we certainly share this recognition with

58
00:04:00,149 --> 00:03:56,949
we now call on a new generation of

59
00:04:01,509 --> 00:04:00,159
explorers to go where we have never gone

60
00:04:03,670 --> 00:04:01,519
before

61
00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:03,680

62
