1 00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:17,990 over three billion years ago 2 00:00:23,269 --> 00:00:20,880 life first appeared in the seas of an 3 00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:23,279 infant earth 4 00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:26,480 over 400 million years ago 5 00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:28,840 living creatures left the protective 6 00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:36,069 about two million years ago 7 00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:38,640 the earliest man walked upright 8 00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:44,709 204 years ago 9 00:00:48,229 --> 00:00:46,800 james watt made improvements to the 10 00:00:51,189 --> 00:00:48,239 steam engine 11 00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:51,199 and began the age of technology 12 00:00:57,510 --> 00:00:55,360 forever altering the course of man 13 00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:57,520 66 years ago 14 00:01:01,510 --> 00:00:59,280 two men named right 15 00:01:04,229 --> 00:01:01,520 again changed the pattern of life on 16 00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:04,239 this planet 17 00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:05,760 today 18 00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:08,320 men first left the protective atmosphere 19 00:01:15,749 --> 00:01:09,600 of earth 20 00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:17,830 and we may wonder 21 00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:21,360 will our lives ever be the same 22 00:01:25,109 --> 00:01:23,759 will future generations look back from 23 00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:25,119 the earth 24 00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:27,119 from another planet 25 00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:29,040 from another star 26 00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:31,040 and say 27 00:02:07,670 --> 00:01:32,640 this 28 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,869 neil armstrong 29 00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:14,309 michael collins 30 00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:17,830 edwin buzz aldrin 31 00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:19,840 three men to represent the culmination 32 00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:21,440 of a dream 33 00:04:23,590 --> 00:02:23,840 and the beginning of a new concept of 34 00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:25,430 so they rose through the atmosphere 35 00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:27,600 toward the open vacuum 36 00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:30,160 a trip not only through space 37 00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:32,560 but through time 38 00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:34,240 toward a world untouched by the 39 00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:37,280 evolutionary processes of earth 40 00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:39,600 a journey that was to be 41 00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:41,520 a door to the future 42 00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:43,120 and a window 43 00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:51,110 now in earth orbit 44 00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:54,479 it was time for translunar injection 45 00:04:59,590 --> 00:04:57,440 the start of the trip out 46 00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:59,600 this is houston uh 47 00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:01,120 slightly less than one minute to 48 00:05:17,430 --> 00:05:08,950 ignition 49 00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:19,189 the burn completed 50 00:05:23,270 --> 00:05:21,520 on their way to the moon 51 00:05:24,790 --> 00:05:23,280 the next step was to jettison their 52 00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:24,800 launch vehicle 53 00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:26,639 turn around and dock with the lunar 54 00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:27,759 module 55 00:06:02,870 --> 00:06:01,590 pulling free now of the useless third 56 00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:02,880 stage 57 00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:22,309 so they coasted toward the moon 58 00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:24,400 as jason sought the golden fleece to 59 00:06:29,029 --> 00:06:26,080 regain a kingdom 60 00:06:31,749 --> 00:06:29,039 these three sought a cargo of knowledge 61 00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:31,759 to gain a kingdom for all men 62 00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:32,960 a kingdom 63 00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:36,000 of infinite frontier 64 00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:39,360 then on july 19 1969 65 00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:42,880 apollo 11 prepared for loi 66 00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:46,240 lunar orbit insertion 67 00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:48,960 11 this is houston you are go for loi 68 00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:50,000 over 69 00:07:02,390 --> 00:06:57,270 and we've had loss of signal as apollo 70 00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:04,790 now those of us on the earth waited for 71 00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:07,120 the radio signal to be acquired as 72 00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:09,360 armstrong collins and aldrin emerged 73 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,110 11. this is moon how do you read 74 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:46,790 thank you rod claire here to hello 75 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:58,150 so 76 00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:00,390 the next day july 20th marked the 77 00:08:04,869 --> 00:08:02,560 beginning of a new era 78 00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:04,879 mike collins alone in the command module 79 00:08:08,309 --> 00:08:06,400 called columbia 80 00:08:10,950 --> 00:08:08,319 watched as neil armstrong and buzz 81 00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:10,960 aldrin undocked the lunar module called 82 00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:24,550 as the eagle rotated slowly collins 83 00:08:29,749 --> 00:08:26,560 inspected it carefully 84 00:08:31,909 --> 00:08:29,759 for now it was time for the descent 85 00:09:06,550 --> 00:08:31,919 to the surface of the moon 86 00:09:11,190 --> 00:09:08,470 a separation maneuver had placed the 87 00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:11,200 command module below the eagle 88 00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:13,360 so that half an orbit later 89 00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:16,640 there would be a safe clearance for doi 90 00:09:21,030 --> 00:09:19,360 descent orbit insertion 91 00:09:23,590 --> 00:09:21,040 armstrong and aldrin looked down at 92 00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:23,600 columbia as they passed over the landing 93 00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:31,190 houston you're a go for doing 94 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:40,230 both angeles good going over the hill 95 00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:42,550 again eagle and colombia passed behind 96 00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:43,760 the moon 97 00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:45,760 when they emerged eagle would be on the 98 00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:47,040 way down 99 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:49,040 awaiting the signal that would begin the 100 00:09:57,110 --> 00:09:50,640 powered descent 101 00:10:01,110 --> 00:09:58,790 eagle houston we rigging out your goal 102 00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:01,120 for pdi over 103 00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:19,590 50 000 feet above the moon 104 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:21,839 eagle's descent engine ignited 105 00:10:26,949 --> 00:10:25,360 and began the deceleration for landing 106 00:10:28,949 --> 00:10:26,959 as they descended 107 00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:28,959 armstrong and aldrin watched the craters 108 00:10:44,069 --> 00:10:30,640 and mountains of the moon 109 00:10:44,079 --> 00:11:00,150 landing 110 00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:02,230 at this point the eagle rolled onto its 111 00:11:04,949 --> 00:11:03,120 back 112 00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:04,959 to give the landing radar surface 113 00:11:09,430 --> 00:11:06,800 acquisition 114 00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:09,440 now the crew was flying blind 115 00:11:13,990 --> 00:11:11,920 hurtling toward the lunar surface 116 00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:14,000 only their instruments and the voice of 117 00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:15,519 mission control 118 00:11:19,269 --> 00:11:17,519 telling them where they were 119 00:11:21,030 --> 00:11:19,279 until the slow pitch maneuver brought 120 00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:21,040 the lunar horizon 121 00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:26,949 100 feet three and a half down nine 122 00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:28,720 forward 123 00:11:34,310 -->

00:13:12,240 right that was a beautiful job you guys 149 00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:13,760 and don't forget one in the command 150 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:41,829 ah 151 00:13:48,150 --> 00:13:44,870 now we'll get to the details of uh 152 00:13:50,389 --> 00:13:48,160 what's around here but it looks like a 153 00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:50,399 collection of just about every variety 154 00:13:54,150 --> 00:13:52,320 of uh 155 00:13:55,829 --> 00:13:54,160 shape 156 00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:55,839 angularity 157 00:14:01,430 --> 00:13:57,680 granularity 158 00:14:04,069 --> 00:14:01,440 but every variety of rock you could find 159 00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:04,079 there doesn't appear to be too much of a 160 00:14:08,470 --> 00:14:06,560 general color at all 161 00:14:11,269 --> 00:14:08,480 we see some 162 00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:11,279 angular blocks out uh 163 00:14:14,710 --> 00:14:13,440 several hundred feet in front of us that 164 00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:14,720 are probably 165 00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:17,040 uh two feet 166 00:14:19,829 --> 00:14:18,720 in size and 167 00:14:25,269 --> 00:14:19,839 have 168 00:14:29,509 --> 00:14:27,750 now in the lesser gravity of the moon 169 00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:29,519 armstrong and aldrin donned their 170 00:14:32,949 --> 00:14:30,399 equipment 171 00:14:36,949 --> 00:14:32,959 and prepared to explore this stark 172 00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:38,389 do you think you can open the hatch at 173 00:14:53,269 --> 00:14:42,800 this pressure about 0.12 psi 174 00:14:58,470 --> 00:14:56,069 guided by buzz aldrin neil armstrong in 175 00:15:01,670 --> 00:14:58,480 his bulky suit worked his way through 176 00:15:08,870 --> 00:15:01,680 the eagle's forward hatch 177 00:15:25,030 --> 00:15:12,310 okay i'm on the porch 178 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:40,710 and we're getting a picture on the tv 179 00:15:43,269 --> 00:15:41,509 um 180 00:15:47,749 --> 00:15:43,279 at the foot of the ladder 181 00:16:07,509 --> 00:15:50,949 depressed in the surface about 182 00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:23,189 leap 183 00:16:26,790 --> 00:16:25,110 there seems to be no difficulty in 184 00:16:29,670 --> 00:16:26,800 moving around as 185 00:16:33,030 --> 00:16:30,790 it's even 186 00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:33,040 perhaps easier than the simulations of 187 00:16:37,990 --> 00:16:34,880 160 that 188 00:16:41,749 --> 00:16:38,000 we performed in various 189 00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:45,030 absolutely no trouble to 190 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,910 walk around 191 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:53,670 oh that looks beautiful 192 00:16:57,590 --> 00:16:55,749 much of the high desert of 193 00:17:05,429 --> 00:16:57,600 the united states it's 194 00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:08,230 armstrong next set about taking pictures 195 00:17:18,390 --> 00:17:10,720 and collecting a contingency sample of 196 00:17:22,470 --> 00:17:21,590 surface is fine and powdery i can 197 00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:22,480 i can 198 00:17:26,789 --> 00:17:25,760 pick it up loosely with my toe 199 00:17:27,829 --> 00:17:26,799 it does 200 00:17:30,230 --> 00:17:27,839 adhere 201 00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:30,240 in fine layers uh 202 00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:34,000 like powdered charcoal to the uh 203 00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:35,440 to the 204 00:17:48,470 --> 00:17:46,630 i only go in uh 205 00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:48,480 small fraction of an inch maybe an 206 00:17:52,150 --> 00:17:50,720 eighth of an inch but i can see 207 00:17:53,430 --> 00:17:52,160 the footprints 208 00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:53,440 of my 209 00:17:56,630 --> 00:17:55,200 boots and the treads 210 00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:56,640 and the 211 00:18:01,830 --> 00:17:58,080 fine 212 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,950 then it was time for aldrin to join him 213 00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:09,270 are you ready 214 00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:14,549 i want to uh 215 00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:18,320 back up and partially close that 216 00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,789 quickly good thought 217 00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:28,480 that's our
