Right, well...
I'll wander over then.

Well worth it.
Been through some amazing times.

(Murmurs) Yeah.
9
00:02:42,996 --> 00:02:45,874
I believe that this nation
should commit itself

00:02:46,041 --> 00:02:49,753
to achieving the goal,
before this decade is out,
11
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:51,838

00:05:11,978 --> 00:05:14,606
WOMAN: Mr Callem, the
Prime Minister wants to see you.
63
00:05:14,773 --> 00:05:16,942
- Can it wait?
- I don't think so.
64
00:05:17,108 --> 00:05:19,027
What's it about?
65
00:05:19,194 --> 00:05:21,780
He's just got off the phone
to the White House.
66
00:05:24,908 --> 00:05:27,285
Do you know
who was on the phone then?
67
00:05:27,452 --> 00:05:29,412
- No, sir.
--The US President.
68
00:05:29,579 --> 00:05:31,456
- Nixon...
- Sorry, sir...
69
00:05:31,623 --> 00:05:33,750
...thanking me for allowing NASA
to use our facility.
70
00:05:33,917 --> 00:05:35,961
- Yes, sir.
- And something about an upgrade?
71
00:05:36,127 --> 00:05:37,712
- Right.
- What's he talking about?
72
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:40,507
- There's a briefing docu...
- I don't read those!
73
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:42,467
(BELL RINGS)
74
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,845
- Are we raising this?
- I think we should.
75
00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:46,930
So what's this all about?
76
00:05:47,097 --> 00:05:49,641
The President was referring to
our radio telescope.
77
00:05:49,808 --> 00:05:51,977
Some months ago, NASA
requested - and you approved-
78
00:05:52,143 --> 00:05:55,105
its use in the Apollo program,
originally as a backup receiver.
79
00:05:55,272 --> 00:05:57,190
- Originally?
- They upgraded its role.
80
00:05:57,357 --> 00:05:59,276
When 'Apollo 11'
gets to the moon,
81
00:05:59,442 --> 00:06:01,528
Parkes will now be
the prime receiving station.
82
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:03,613
- Meaning?
- We've got the moon walk.
83
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:07,033
Shit. The people at this place -
do they know what they're doing?
84
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,828
- I believe so.
- I bloody well hope so.
85
00:06:09,995 --> 00:06:11,872
Why'd they pick us?
86
00:06:12,038 --> 00:06:15,375
It's the largest radio telescope
in the Southern Hemisphere.
87
00:06:15,542 --> 00:06:18,670
What's it doing in the middle
of a sheep paddock?
88
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:29,931
MAN: The Parkes radio telescope,
or, as we call it, the dish,
89
00:06:30,098 --> 00:06:33,018
will track 'Apollo 11'
throughout its journey
90
00:06:33,184 --> 00:06:35,145
gathering voice signals
from the astronauts,
91
00:06:35,312 --> 00:06:37,230
telemetry from the spaceship
92
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:40,984
and then, most importantly, the
TV signals from the moon itself.
93
00:06:41,151 --> 00:06:44,404
It's 210 feet in diameter,
it weighs 1,000 tons
94
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:47,574
and it can be moved to point
in virtually every direction.
95
00:06:47,741 --> 00:06:49,659
It's the most powerful
receiving dish in the world.
96
00:06:49,826 --> 00:06:51,786
...in the world.
97
00:06:51,953 --> 00:06:54,664
Can I have their full names
and specific roles?
98
00:06:54,831 --> 00:06:56,207
This is Ross Mitchell.
99
00:06:56,374 --> 00:06:58,293
He's responsible
for manoeuvring the dish.
100
00:06:58,460 --> 00:06:59,961
This is Mr Glenn Latham.
101
00:07:00,128 --> 00:07:02,047
Glenn's in charge of
all the electronics.
102
00:07:02,213 --> 00:07:04,758
Glenn's a Sagittarius. He enjoys
knitting, flower-arranging...
103
00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:06,843
Mitch, I do not!
Don't write that.
104
00:07:07,010 --> 00:07:08,887
From NASA, Al Burnett.
105
00:07:09,054 --> 00:07:12,098
Al makes sure the signals get
back safely to Mission Control.
106
00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:14,893
- Enjoy your stay in Australia?
- Very much, sir.
107
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:17,395
- The people are warm...
- And friendly. That's great.
108
00:07:17,562 --> 00:07:19,648
And you, Cliff.
What's your official title?
109
00:07:19,814 --> 00:07:22,359
Cliff Buxton, director.
110
00:07:22,525 --> 00:07:24,235
Or the 'dishmaster'.
111
00:07:24,402 --> 00:07:27,489
OK. Now I just need
a few personal details.
112
00:07:27,656 --> 00:07:28,823
- You married?
- Yeah.
113
00:07:28,990 --> 00:07:30,367
- Glenn?
- Fiancee, Janine Kellerman.
114
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:32,535
- Mitch! She's not my fiancee.
- Local girl.
115
00:07:32,702 --> 00:07:34,204
I don't have a fiancee.
116
00:07:34,371 --> 00:07:35,789
Married.
Two boys, in Houston.
117
00:07:35,956 --> 00:07:37,666
And you, Cliff?
118
00:07:40,335 --> 00:07:41,711
Married.
119
00:07:41,878 --> 00:07:44,589
And just finally,
I mean, no of fence,
120
00:07:44,756 --> 00:07:46,675
but when you think about it,
121
00:07:46,841 --> 00:07:49,511
the Americans spent 10 years,
billions of dollars,
122
00:07:49,678 --> 00:07:52,097
to let us watch man
walk on the moon,
123
00:07:52,263 --> 00:07:55,058
and in the end it falls
to you blokes. (Laughs)
124
00:07:57,185 --> 00:07:59,604
I mean,
how do you feel about that?
125
00:07:59,771 --> 00:08:02,399
A lot better
before you opened your trap.
126
00:08:02,565 --> 00:08:06,403
We feel confident we have the
expertise to complete our role.
127
00:08:06,569 --> 00:08:11,157
But, Cliff. I mean,
it's pretty amazing, isn't it?
128
00:08:13,952 --> 00:08:15,453
Yes, it is amazing.
129
00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:18,081
And so Australia finds itself
a vital cog
130
00:08:18,248 --> 00:08:20,000
in this grand endeavour.
131
00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:22,085
ALL: Hear, hear.
132
00:08:22,252 --> 00:08:25,130
Only this morning,
I conveyed to President Nixon
133
00:08:25,296 --> 00:08:29,926
my long-term interest and
commitment to this project.
134
00:08:30,093 --> 00:08:33,138
It will be
one of the proudest moments
135
00:08:33,304 --> 00:08:36,516
in Australia's
scientific history.
136
00:08:36,683 --> 00:08:38,059
ALL: Hear, hear.
137
00:08:38,226 --> 00:08:39,728
And I thought it fitting
138
00:08:39,894 --> 00:08:42,313
to accept the invitation
of the mayor of Parkes
139
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,109
to be there on Monday
and witness first-hand
140
00:08:46,276 --> 00:08:48,695
our vital contribution.
141
00:08:48,862 --> 00:08:50,238
ALL: Hear, hear.
142
00:08:50,405 --> 00:08:52,240
Now THAT is an RSVP.
143
00:08:52,407 --> 00:08:54,325
The Prime Minister
coming to Parkes.
144
00:08:54,492 --> 00:08:56,494
- I'll frame that.
- The icing on the cake.
145
00:08:56,661 --> 00:09:00,123
You know why this means so much?
Helps your political career.
146
00:09:00,290 --> 00:09:01,624
- No, Len.
- It does.
147
00:09:01,791 --> 00:09:03,710
The PM standing with
the candidate.
148
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:06,046
It's all about brownnosing.
Licking arse!
149
00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:08,882
No! It's a vindication.
150
00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:10,425
Oh!
151
00:09:10,592 --> 00:09:11,968
Oh, vindication.
152
00:09:12,135 --> 00:09:13,511
Vindication of my campaign
153
00:09:13,678 --> 00:09:16,014
to get that dish here
in the first place.
154
00:09:16,181 --> 00:09:17,557
That was an episode!
155
00:09:17,724 --> 00:09:20,935
You know what people said
when I proposed Parkes?
156
00:09:21,102 --> 00:09:22,479
That you were grandstanding.
157
00:09:22,645 --> 00:09:24,773
It's a self-serving stunt
to big-note yourself.
158
00:09:24,939 --> 00:09:26,483
Who said that?
159
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:29,444
Oh...
160
00:09:29,611 --> 00:09:33,073
They said I was a dreamer.
A visionary.
161
00:09:33,239 --> 00:09:35,408
Yeah, that's right.
162
00:09:35,575 --> 00:09:38,244
"Bob McIntyre," they said,
"you'll never pull it off."
163
00:09:38,411 --> 00:09:43,208
And now, which town is part of
the 'Apollo 11' mission?

NEWSREADER: As 'Apollo 11'
is being readied for launch,

00:09:53,468 --> 00:09:56,137
NASA is completing final checks

AL: ..and it deposits signals
straight to Sydney.

Strip the TV,
send that to Moree...
175
00:10:11,236 --> 00:10:12,612
Both receivers.
176
00:10:12,779 --> 00:10:14,155
Sorry, go on.
177
00:10:14,322 --> 00:10:17,117
The rest will be sent
to the demodulator
178
00:10:17,283 --> 00:10:18,660
at Honeysuckle Creek first.
179
00:10:18,827 --> 00:10:20,328
The biomed telemetry feeds -
180
00:10:20,495 --> 00:10:22,413
can we send those
on separate lines?

- Mitch?
- Yeah, no problem.
182
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:26,209
AL: OK. Biomed, TM split feeds.
183
00:10:26,376 --> 00:10:28,962
It's a big book
you've got there, Al.
184
00:10:30,004 --> 00:10:31,840
- Hold on.
- What is it?
185
00:10:32,006 --> 00:10:34,217
These coordinates don't match.
They've been changed.
186
00:10:34,384 --> 00:10:37,345
- Are you sure?
- This is unacceptable.
187
00:10:37,512 --> 00:10:39,139
Glenn, come here.
188
00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:41,724
What?
189
00:10:41,891 --> 00:10:44,144
Every coordinate in this book
has been changed.
190
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:46,354
Yeah?
191
00:10:46,521 --> 00:10:48,106
I changed them.
192
00:10:48,273 --> 00:10:49,941
- You what?
- I changed them.
193
00:10:50,108 --> 00:10:52,235
- Why?
- Because they were wrong.
194
00:10:52,402 --> 00:10:54,237
- Why were they wrong?
- I don't know.
195
00:10:54,404 --> 00:10:56,406
No, what about them was wrong?
196
00:10:56,573 --> 00:11:00,743
The figures NASA sent us were
for the Northern Hemisphere.
197
00:11:02,287 --> 00:11:04,622
And we're in
the Southern Hemisphere.
198
00:11:04,789 --> 00:11:07,750
I can change them back,
but you'd point in the wrong...
199
00:11:07,917 --> 00:11:10,253
It might be a good idea
to tell us.
200
00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:13,131
Oh, sure.
I just didn't want to worry you.
201

202
00:11:16,426 --> 00:11:17,802
No, thank you.
203
00:11:17,969 --> 00:11:20,597
- MITCH: I'll have one.
- Thank you, Glenn.
204
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:23,725
This is why we have to check
and double-check.
205

All of NASA's work.
206

Everyone's work, unless you have
a problem with that.

I don't have a problem
with that.

getting a visitor.

The Prime Minister. May phoned.

- That woman...

- Can you keep it under your hat?
- I don't think so.

- How are the boys at the dish?

- The American chap settling in?

feeling the pressure.

Who's for a cup of tea?
523
00:27:26,979 --> 00:27:29,523
HOUSTON: '11',
it was a good readback,
524
00:27:29,690 --> 00:27:32,317
and we'd like
a crew status report, over.
525
00:27:35,404 --> 00:27:38,323
ASTRONAUT: Houston, 'Apollo 11',
the battery charging is complete
526

is as follows.

Thank you so much.

We've had concerns about whether

we know how to do it.

What was that?
547
00:28:38,008 --> 00:28:40,594
Just a CSM switch.
Nothing to worry about.
548
00:28:41,637 --> 00:28:43,764
- Won't be long.
- Take your time.
549
00:28:43,931 --> 00:28:46,642
Can you run a verification of
the projected plot points
550
00:28:46,808 --> 00:28:48,727
for the next handover?
551
00:28:48,894 --> 00:28:51,438
- I've done it.
- Now with the adjusted bearings.
552
00:28:56,652 --> 00:28:59,238
Oh, well, I stand corrected.
553
00:29:00,364 --> 00:29:01,907
No, you're wrong.
554
00:29:03,408 --> 00:29:04,785
Got a problem?
555
00:29:04,952 --> 00:29:06,536
- Yeah.
- CLIFF: Mitch...
556
00:29:06,703 --> 00:29:08,080
No.
557
00:29:08,247 --> 00:29:10,832
You treat us like
a pack of galahs.
558
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,627
That's a kind of parrot.
559
00:29:13,794 --> 00:29:15,921
Just because I don't wear a tie
560
00:29:16,088 --> 00:29:18,257
or spend all day
buried in a manual
561
00:29:18,423 --> 00:29:20,133
doesn't mean I'm a drongo.
562
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:22,636
- That's a hopeless...
- Yeah, I get the idea, Glenn.
563
00:29:22,803 --> 00:29:26,223
I've got nothing but complete
respect for your capabilities.
564
00:29:27,891 --> 00:29:29,977
I'd appreciate the same
in return.
565
00:29:32,604 --> 00:29:34,856
Al, it's probably time
to get along now.
566
00:29:35,023 --> 00:29:37,109
- Let me know if...
- Don't worry.
567

RUDY. 'Bye, Mr Burnett.

-( FEEDBACK)
571
00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:52,165
Right.
572
00:29:52,332 --> 00:29:54,251
MITCH:
What were you calling about?
573
00:29:54,418 --> 00:29:56,336
What's that?
574
00:29:56,503 --> 00:29:59,089
You've been calling -
what were you calling about?
575
00:29:59,256 --> 00:30:01,591
Oh, it was just the, um...
576
00:30:01,758 --> 00:30:03,468
-...the...
- Routine call?
577
00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:07,597
Yep, that's right, Mr Buxton.
It was the routine call.
578
00:30:07,764 --> 00:30:10,142
Anyway, I'd better get back
to my post.
579
00:30:10,309 --> 00:30:12,019
Can we set up over here?
580
00:30:12,185 --> 00:30:14,646
That's it - there's
a camera crew downstairs.
581
00:30:14,813 --> 00:30:16,606
Entry's been authorised.
582
00:30:21,903 --> 00:30:23,447
Ambassador's taking his time.
583
00:30:23,613 --> 00:30:25,824
Must still be at the motel.
584
00:30:25,991 --> 00:30:28,452
You organise that fruit platter?
585
00:30:28,618 --> 00:30:29,995
Yep, nice big one.
586
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:33,081
- Major McIntyre. -Keith.
-ls Marie here, sir?
587
00:30:33,248 --> 00:30:35,751
No, apparently the ambassador
is a "cultural imperialist".
588
00:30:35,917 --> 00:30:37,919
- Sorry, sir?
- She's gone in.
589
00:30:38,086 --> 00:30:40,005
- Be careful, son.
- Yes, sir.
590
00:30:40,172 --> 00:30:42,591
That boy's about to
get a taste of war.
591
00:30:42,758 --> 00:30:44,259
In a few days time,
592
00:30:44,426 --> 00:30:46,595
we'll be watching television
pictures from the moon.
593
00:30:46,762 --> 00:30:50,390
Could you explain how these
pictures will be received?
594
00:30:50,557 --> 00:30:52,476
Got a basketball?
595
00:30:52,642 --> 00:30:55,062
When Armstrong emerges
from the lunar landing module,
596
00:30:55,228 --> 00:30:57,856
he'll activate
a small camera here,
597
00:30:58,023 --> 00:31:00,609
which will capture pictures
of him descending the ladder
598
00:31:00,776 --> 00:31:03,028
and walking
on the surface of the moon.
599
00:31:03,195 --> 00:31:06,198
REPORTER: These pictures - how
will they make it back to Earth?

Carrier pigeon.
601
00:31:07,908 --> 00:31:10,077
There's a small S-band
transmitter on top
602
00:31:10,243 --> 00:31:12,412
which sends the images
back down to us.
603
00:31:12,579 --> 00:31:14,373
It's certainly
amazing technology...

00:31:14,539 --> 00:31:18,293

LEN: Ambassador of
the United States.

00:31:24,424 --> 00:31:26,551
Can't get the lump
out of my throat.
608
00:31:26,718 --> 00:31:28,804
Should stop eating
those party pies.
609
00:31:31,390 --> 00:31:34,976
You're right, Len.
It is a big day for Parkes.
610
00:31:35,143 --> 00:31:37,354
It's a vindication.
611
00:31:37,521 --> 00:31:39,231
They're here, Bob.
612
00:31:39,398 --> 00:31:41,983
MAY: What do we call him?
Your Excellency?
613
00:31:42,150 --> 00:31:44,069
Turn it up.
He's not bloody royalty.
614
00:31:44,236 --> 00:31:45,612
It's important, Bob.
615
00:31:45,779 --> 00:31:47,864
We're his first impression
of Parkes.
616
00:31:53,537 --> 00:31:55,997
Mr Ambassador, on behalf of
the people of Parkes,
617
00:31:56,164 --> 00:31:57,666
we welcome you to Parkes.
618
00:31:57,833 --> 00:31:59,751
Why, thank you, Bob.
619
00:31:59,918 --> 00:32:01,962
- I can call you Bob?
- Absolutely, Mr Ambassador.
620
00:32:02,129 --> 00:32:04,881
Howard. And this is...?
621
00:32:05,048 --> 00:32:06,508
- Len.
- G'day.
622
00:32:06,675 --> 00:32:09,636
I mean May. My wife, May.
She's the lemon.

We recommend you accept 1'49.

Continue through your sequence
of sighting
625
00:32:15,225 --> 00:32:18,145

afterwards, over.

Cliff?
628
00:32:34,161 --> 00:32:36,246
Time for a cup of tea?
629
00:32:40,208 --> 00:32:43,170
I haven't been treated like this
since I stripped harvesters.

632
00:32:49,050 --> 00:32:50,969
Aren't you being
a little unfair?
633
00:32:51,136 --> 00:32:53,221
Cliff,
what's happened to you lately?
634
00:32:55,390 --> 00:32:57,517
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, that came out wrong.
635
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,978
But this was always your dish.
636
00:33:00,145 --> 00:33:03,190
You'd never let anyone else
come in and run the place.
637
00:33:03,356 --> 00:33:05,692
We're part of a worldwide team
on this.
638
00:33:05,859 --> 00:33:07,944
- Part of NASA.
- And what's NASA?
639
00:33:08,111 --> 00:33:11,323
It's money and equipment
on a plate.
640
00:33:11,490 --> 00:33:14,784
No, Mitch. NASA's just
a bigger bunch of us.
641
00:33:14,951 --> 00:33:16,953
Have you thought about
what's being attempted here?
642
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,997
Of course I have.
643
00:33:19,164 --> 00:33:21,917
We're in the middle of the
greatest feat ever attempted.
644
00:33:22,083 --> 00:33:24,085
This is science's chance
to be daring.
645
00:33:24,252 --> 00:33:26,254
What are you doing?
646
00:33:26,421 --> 00:33:28,924

Lovely.

Her and Glenn are down there

Yeah.
653

I don't know if you guys have
noticed, but Janine likes Glenn.
654
00:33:46,775 --> 00:33:48,151
Is that right?
655
00:33:48,318 --> 00:33:50,695
Rudi, what's with the gun?
656
00:33:50,862 --> 00:33:53,949
It's an official
NASA installation, Mr Buxton.
657
00:33:54,991 --> 00:33:58,161
We may need this. Don't worry
about that - I've tasted it.
658
00:33:58,328 --> 00:33:59,704
- What?
- The food.
659
00:33:59,871 --> 00:34:01,790
It could have been
tampered with.
660

This whole thing - I can't
believe I'm a part of it.

00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:38,827
Certainly can't believe
Rudi's a part of it.

- OK. Nighty-night.

reappear, but not where.

The same place as yesterday.
863
00:44:33,045 --> 00:44:35,298
Yesterday, they were orbiting.
Now they're translunar.
864
00:44:35,464 --> 00:44:37,383
We'll have to re-do every angle.
865
00:44:37,550 --> 00:44:38,926
That'll take forever.
866
00:44:39,093 --> 00:44:41,053
Make it a two-body calculation.
867
00:44:41,220 --> 00:44:43,264
Get an approximate fix
then scan.
868
00:44:43,431 --> 00:44:44,974
Yeah, that should do it.

the fuel lines.

Well, these things happen.
874
00:45:00,281 --> 00:45:02,241
Better get to work.
875
00:45:05,536 --> 00:45:07,955
If we come on-stream tomorrow,
it never happened.

You think you can do it?

00:45:10,208 --> 00:45:14,253

and I intend to fulfil it.

for a while.

You remember that night
at my place,
880
00:45:19,467 --> 00:45:22,803
trying to sort out the contract
with that fella from NASA?
881
00:45:22,970 --> 00:45:24,847

What about that?"
882
00:45:25,014 --> 00:45:27,099
Two hours,
and you finally speak.
883
00:45:27,266 --> 00:45:29,852
"Gentlemen,
this should be the contract.
884
00:45:30,019 --> 00:45:32,897
"We agree to support
the 'Apollo 11' mission."
885
00:45:33,064 --> 00:45:35,566
That was it - one sentence.
They couldn't believe it.
886
00:45:35,733 --> 00:45:37,235
It was a wonderful moment.
887
00:45:37,401 --> 00:45:38,778
But this isn't.
888
00:45:38,945 --> 00:45:41,030
No, this is a shithouse moment.

outside and we miss it.

- You've got a visitor.

Of the United States of America.

Roger that, Sector G.
Confirm Sector A, hold on.

think he'd come so soon.

and Honeysuckle Creek -
961

is the only dish large enough?

They've got to be
within 3 or 4 degrees.

Yeah. That might be OK.

01:02:51,434 --> 01:02:53,353
I'd love to go out Friday night.
1205
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:56,314
Oh...with me?
1206
01:02:56,481 --> 01:02:58,024
(Giggles) Yes.
1207
01:02:59,067 --> 01:03:00,443
Righto, then.
1208
01:03:00,610 --> 01:03:02,362
Righto, then.

Um, I'm not sure.

this morning.
1213
01:03:43,194 --> 01:03:44,571
- Really?
- Yeah.
1214
01:03:44,738 --> 01:03:46,656
He's not such a bad bloke.
1215
01:03:46,823 --> 01:03:48,908
You should give him a chance.
1216
01:03:49,951 --> 01:03:52,203
You'll be right
for a couple of hours?
1217
01:03:52,370 --> 01:03:53,747
Yeah, we'll be right.
1218
01:03:53,913 --> 01:03:56,041
- If you've got problems...
- I'll call Rudi.
1219
01:03:56,207 --> 01:03:58,293
BOB: Have more.
That's prime Parkes lamb.
1220
01:03:58,460 --> 01:04:00,628
- I've got enough.
- More where that came from.
1221
01:04:00,795 --> 01:04:02,797
- I'll just have the vegetables.
- Yes, dear.
1222
01:04:02,964 --> 01:04:05,133
- Cliff?
- This is wonderful, May.
1223
01:04:05,300 --> 01:04:09,095
- Glad you could get away.
- The boys have it under control.
1224

- When are you up?
- Not till four.
1225
01:04:11,681 --> 01:04:14,142
- Tomorrow's the big day.
- All being well.
1226
01:04:14,309 --> 01:04:17,771
Man on the bloody moon, eh?
Gravy?
1227
01:04:17,937 --> 01:04:20,690
It's extraordinary, sending men
off into the galaxies
1228
01:04:20,857 --> 01:04:22,484
as the whole world watches.
1229
01:04:22,650 --> 01:04:25,111

our trivial concerns.

1231

Our school's watching it.
1232
01:04:28,365 --> 01:04:30,283
I think every school
will watch it.
1233

- I believe it's 600 million.
1234

get to watch it?
1238

- Yeah, but all on the one telly.

- Cliff.
- No, go ahead.
1243
01:04:52,263 --> 01:04:54,516
There's a boom outside
with a camera.
1244
01:04:54,682 --> 01:04:57,519
Once Armstrong's outside, he'll
pull a ring and it'll swing out.
1245
01:04:57,685 --> 01:05:00,397
- There an antenna on the roof?
- Transmitter, Dad.

Right, Billy. It's about
the size of that bowl there.

- Yes, please.
1248
01:05:04,984 --> 01:05:06,569
All this effort for television.
1249
01:05:06,736 --> 01:05:08,655
When NASA first came, they
hardly mentioned television.
1250
01:05:08,822 --> 01:05:10,740
Interesting change, isn't it?
1251

Still not sure what's more
important to get back safely -

Is this mission being funded
by the CIA?

Well, it's all go.

May, that roast lamb
was magnificent.
1276
01:06:09,257 --> 01:06:11,384
I'll bet you don't get that
in Houston.
1277
01:06:11,551 --> 01:06:13,887
- No.
- We can't have you wasting away.

- Thanks very much, May.

and you wonder,

"What are we doing in the middle
of the 'Apollo 11' mission?"

probably knight you for this.

And according to the Flight
Control Centre at Houston,
1392
01:11:52,892 --> 01:11:55,228
the status is still go
for a landing.
1393
01:11:55,394 --> 01:11:56,896
We believe the 'Eagle' module
1394
01:11:57,063 --> 01:11:59,607
is in the final critical stages
before touchdown.

Just "hello" and "goodbye".
He was very polite.
1485

3O knots can't be
the absolute maximum.

We want to walk."

that's sufficient reason
not to move the dish.

01:27:02,759 --> 01:27:04,136
HOUSTON: Roger, we copy.
1713
01:27:04,302 --> 01:27:06,346
ARMSTRONG: It's a pretty good
little jump.
1714
01:27:06,513 --> 01:27:07,889
CLIFF: Glenn.
1715
01:27:08,056 --> 01:27:09,725
Glenn!
1716
01:27:09,891 --> 01:27:12,227
Switch back to main axis.
1717
01:27:20,610 --> 01:27:22,028
How's that?
1718
01:27:22,195 --> 01:27:23,572
GIRL: Fine.
1719
01:27:23,739 --> 01:27:28,076
ARMSTRONG: The LM's footpads
are only depressed
1720
01:27:28,243 --> 01:27:31,747
in the surface
about one or two inches,
1721
01:27:31,913 --> 01:27:37,669
although the surface appears to
be...very, very fine-grained
1722
01:27:37,836 --> 01:27:39,755
as you get close to it.
1723
01:27:39,921 --> 01:27:42,257
It's almost like a powder.
1724
01:27:47,512 --> 01:27:50,432
ARMSTRONG: OK, I'm going to
step off the LM now.
1725
01:27:54,478 --> 01:27:57,189
That's one small step for man...
1726
01:27:59,858 --> 01:28:02,819
...one giant leap for mankind.
1727
01:28:02,986 --> 01:28:05,489
ALDRIN: That looks beautiful
from here, Neil.
1728
01:28:05,655 --> 01:28:08,074
ARMSTRONG: It has a stark beauty
all of its own.
1729
01:28:08,241 --> 01:28:11,661
It's like much of a high desert
of the United States...
1730
01:28:11,828 --> 01:28:14,247
- Dad! He's on the moon!
- I know, mate.
1731
01:28:14,414 --> 01:28:16,500
ARMSTRONG:
It's very pretty out here.
1732
01:28:16,666 --> 01:28:18,752
Thank God for that hydrogen, eh?
1733
01:28:20,295 --> 01:28:23,048
ARMSTRONG: Are you getting
the TV picture now, Houston?
1734
01:28:23,215 --> 01:28:24,591
You betcha.
1735
01:28:24,758 --> 01:28:27,135
Neil, yes,
we are getting a TV picture.
1736
01:28:27,302 --> 01:28:29,805
You're in our field of view now.
1737
01:28:32,474 --> 01:28:34,392
ALDRIN: OK, I'm on the top step.
1738
01:28:34,559 --> 01:28:38,563
It's a very simple matter to hop
down from one step to the next.
1739
01:28:38,730 --> 01:28:41,942
ARMSTRONG: You've got three more
steps and then a long one.
1740
01:28:48,448 --> 01:28:50,826
ARMSTRONG: There you go.
1741
01:29:00,460 --> 01:29:03,922
ALDRIN: Beautiful view.
ARMSTRONG: Isn't that something?
1742
01:29:04,089 --> 01:29:06,842
ARMSTRONG:
Magnificent sight out here.
1743
01:29:07,008 --> 01:29:09,636
ALDRIN: Magnificent desolation.
1744
01:29:17,227 --> 01:29:19,813
(Whispers) Alright,
you can stay this once.
1745
01:29:21,690 --> 01:29:23,066
Get it off!
1746
01:29:23,233 --> 01:29:25,485
ARMSTRONG: For those who haven't
read the plaque,
1747
01:29:25,652 --> 01:29:29,656
we'll read the plaque that's on
the landing gear of this LM.
1748
01:29:29,823 --> 01:29:33,535
It says,
"Here men from the planet Earth
1749
01:29:33,702 --> 01:29:36,246
"first stepped foot
upon the moon.
1750
01:29:36,413 --> 01:29:40,041
"July, 1969 AD.
1751
01:29:40,208 --> 01:29:43,128
"We came in peace
for all mankind."
1752
01:29:43,295 --> 01:29:48,008
It has the crew members'
signatures
1753
01:29:48,174 --> 01:29:52,053
and the signature of the
President of the United States.

HOUSTON: Columbia,
this is Houston.
1756
01:30:09,946 --> 01:30:12,824
- Reading you loud and clear,
over. -COLLINS: How's it going?
1757
01:30:12,991 --> 01:30:15,118
HOUSTON: Roger, the EVA
is progressing beautifully.
1758
01:30:15,285 --> 01:30:17,203
COLLINS: Great.
1759
01:30:17,370 --> 01:30:19,581
HOUSTON: I guess you're about
the only person around
1760
01:30:19,748 --> 01:30:22,542
that doesn't have TV coverage
of the scene.
1761
01:30:23,585 --> 01:30:26,004
COLLINS: That's alright.
I don't mind a bit.
1762
01:30:26,171 --> 01:30:27,797
How is the quality of the TV?
1763
01:30:27,964 --> 01:30:30,884
HOUSTON: Oh, it's beautiful,
Mike. It really is.
1764
01:30:39,017 --> 01:30:41,603
COLLINS: Beautiful,
just beautiful.
1765
01:30:41,770 --> 01:30:45,398
Bob, it's a wonderful day
for Parkes.
1766
01:30:46,524 --> 01:30:48,360
Pearl, they're good pictures.
1767
01:30:48,526 --> 01:30:51,279
HOUSTON: The President
of the United States
1768
01:30:51,446 --> 01:30:52,948
is in his office now
1769
01:30:53,114 --> 01:30:56,242
and would like to say
a few words to you, over.
1770
01:30:57,577 --> 01:30:59,496
ARMSTRONG:
That would be an honour.
1771
01:30:59,663 --> 01:31:02,666
HOUSTON: Go ahead, Mr President.
This is Houston, out.
1772

1773
01:31:04,668 --> 01:31:07,087
Excuse me.

at the White House...

(Whispers)
That was Cliff on the phone.
1776
01:31:15,303 --> 01:31:17,931
The pictures -
they came from us!
1777
01:31:18,098 --> 01:31:20,600
You bloody beauty!
1778
01:31:22,727 --> 01:31:24,437
Bloody fantastic!
1779
01:31:24,604 --> 01:31:26,231
Here's to Parkes.
1780
01:31:30,068 --> 01:31:31,778
MAN: The lunar age has begun.

MAN 1: The date's now indelible.

It'll be remembered as long as
man survives - July 20, 1969.
1785
01:31:42,789 --> 01:31:46,251
NIXON: And for people
all over the world.
1786
01:31:46,418 --> 01:31:50,922
I am sure that they too
join with Americans
1787
01:31:51,089 --> 01:31:54,426
in recognising
what an immense feat this is.
1788
01:31:54,592 --> 01:31:57,429
Because of what you have done...
1789
01:31:57,595 --> 01:31:59,597
Well done, guys.
1790
01:32:09,149 --> 01:32:10,942

01:32:47,103 --> 01:32:49,022

01:32:51,566 --> 01:32:54,069
we think that you've done a
magnificent job up there today.
1805

Over.

very much. It's been a long day.

01:33:27,185 --> 01:33:29,270
Yeah, we did, Al.

all the people on this Earth

Sir, I have to ask you to go
back and in the public entrance.
1833
01:34:35,336 --> 01:34:37,839
- I'm very sorry.
- Tours leave on the hour.
1834
01:34:38,006 --> 01:34:39,924
Well, maybe not today.
1835
01:34:40,091 --> 01:34:42,302
But you never know,
I might come back another time.
1836
01:34:42,468 --> 01:34:45,430
I'd do it. People get a buzz
from being up there.
1837
01:34:45,597 --> 01:34:48,349
I'll bet they do.
1838

Do I know you, sir?
1839
01:34:51,019 --> 01:34:52,520
No, I don't believe so.

You look familiar.
1841
01:34:55,565 --> 01:34:57,650
Well, I'd better be off.
1842
01:34:57,817 --> 01:35:01,196
Right, sir. Back out
and around to the left.
