away from the control
station in Houston...
12
00:00:36,786 --> 00:00:40,832

00:00:40,915 --> 00:00:45,045
reentering the atmosphere
at speeds of over
25,000 miles per hour.
14
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:52,010
HYDE (off screen):
You well may be the
first man on the Moon.
15
00:00:52,093 --> 00:00:53,845
How do you personally
feel about it?
16
00:00:53,928 --> 00:00:56,723
LOVELL (off screen):
Well I have the same desire
as all the astronauts.

00:00:56,806 --> 00:00:58,475
We'd all like to
make that trip.
18

We're beginning to feel
the first thunderous roar!

You claim that morale hasn't
sagged here with the cutbacks
30
00:01:32,634 --> 00:01:34,010
in the space program.
31
00:01:34,094 --> 00:01:37,847
Are you concerned that
some step in check out
may be missed that might
32
00:01:37,931 --> 00:01:39,766
cause a mechanical failure?
33
00:01:39,849 --> 00:01:42,102

little bit, all right.

00:01:51,152 --> 00:01:53,113
Right.
38
00:01:53,822 --> 00:01:56,616

00:02:11,631 --> 00:02:12,757

We lost O2 tank 2 pressure.
GNC, Flight.
48
00:02:16,261 --> 00:02:18,680
LUNNEY (over radio):
What do you want on the
heater circuit breaker?
49
00:02:18,763 --> 00:02:20,390
AARON (over radio):
We ought to get off entry
battery and do it with a
50
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:22,517
flashlight through the LM.
51
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,060
PA OFFICER (over radio):
Less than seven minutes
now from time of entry into
52
00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:26,146
the Earth's atmosphere.
53
00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:28,064
REPORTER (over radio):
There it is, it's coming
out of the cloud level now.
54
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:30,608
1,000 feet to go!

00:02:41,953 --> 00:02:44,581
LOVELL (over radio):
Welcome from the Moon, Houston.
57
00:02:55,675 --> 00:02:57,427
DISNEY: At Disneyland Park,
58
00:02:57,510 --> 00:03:00,513
the ground devoted
to things of the future
is called, "Tomorrowland."
59
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:05,768
DISNEY (off screen): One of
the popular attractions here
is our simulated rocket trip
60
00:03:05,852 --> 00:03:08,104
around the Moon.
61
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:13,443
After entering the Disneyland
Spaceport, visitors may
experience the thrills that
62
00:03:13,526 --> 00:03:17,780
space travelers of the
future will encounter when
rocket trips to the Moon
63
00:03:18,406 --> 00:03:21,159
become a daily routine.
64
00:03:21,492 --> 00:03:24,537
KIMBALL: When we hear
the exciting news of how the
rocket scientists of today are
65
00:03:24,621 --> 00:03:28,499
preparing for tomorrow's
trip to the Moon, we must
remember that such a trip
66
00:03:28,583 --> 00:03:32,128
has long been the dream of
many men since history began.
67
00:03:33,254 --> 00:03:35,465
KIMBALL (off screen): Roll
the moon sequence, please.
68
00:03:37,842 --> 00:03:40,803
BRAUN (off screen):
Since ancient times,
since the beginning of man's
69
00:03:40,887 --> 00:03:43,014
ability to think,
70
00:03:43,097 --> 00:03:45,975
he has gazed at the
heavens and dreamed that
71
00:03:46,059 --> 00:03:48,645
someday he would
travel through space,
72
00:03:50,271 --> 00:03:54,108
to explore the Moon and planets,
73
00:03:54,192 --> 00:03:57,695
which have
eternally captivated
his imagination.
74
00:04:03,618 --> 00:04:06,537
DISNEY (off screen): However,
scientists tell us it will
be many years before space
75
00:04:06,621 --> 00:04:09,040
travel becomes a reality.
76
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:23,596
REPORTER (off screen):
President Eisenhower and other
spokesmen of the
77
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,974
administration have
been attempting to relieve the
78
00:04:26,057 --> 00:04:29,102
fears and anxieties caused
by Russia's spectacular
79
00:04:29,185 --> 00:04:33,064
breakthrough in the Earth
satellite and intercontinental
ballistic missile field.
80
00:04:34,232 --> 00:04:36,859
REPORTER 2 (off screen):
The rise of Sputnik-1 and
the traumatic reaction
81
00:04:36,943 --> 00:04:38,903
of the world's peoples.
82
00:04:38,987 --> 00:04:42,282
Thrust before all Americans,
problems wholly new.
83
00:04:42,615 --> 00:04:46,786
REPORTER 3 (off screen):
The space age has become the
new frontier in the Cold War.
84
00:04:51,416 --> 00:04:54,002
GLENNAN: We have one of
the most challenging
assignments that has ever
85
00:04:54,085 --> 00:04:56,587
been given to modern man.
86
00:04:56,671 --> 00:04:59,090
Expansion of human
knowledge about space,
87
00:04:59,173 --> 00:05:02,385
development and operation
of vehicles capable of
88
00:05:02,468 --> 00:05:07,473
carrying instruments
and man through space,
preservation of the role of
89
00:05:08,016 --> 00:05:12,645
the United States as a leader
in aeronautical and space
science and technology.
90
00:05:18,860 --> 00:05:21,446
REPORTER (off screen):
It was expected for months
the first man in space
91
00:05:21,529 --> 00:05:22,822
would be a Russian.
92
00:05:22,905 --> 00:05:25,366
But still, the news was
not welcome in Washington.
93
00:05:25,450 --> 00:05:28,077
REPORTER 2 (off screen):
The United States man in
space program is at least
94
00:05:28,161 --> 00:05:30,705
eight months behind
that of the Soviet Union.
95
00:05:30,788 --> 00:05:33,541
KENNEDY: Now it is time
to take longer strides.
96
00:05:33,624 --> 00:05:36,544
Time for a great new
American enterprise.
97
00:05:37,128 --> 00:05:42,342
Time for this nation
to take a clearly leading
role in space achievement,
98
00:05:43,426 --> 00:05:47,221
which in many ways,
may hold the key to
our future on Earth.
99
00:05:48,765 --> 00:05:52,477
I believe that this
nation should commit itself
to achieving the goal
100
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,438
before this decade is out
101
00:05:55,521 --> 00:05:59,192
of landing a man on
the Moon and returning
him safely to the Earth.
102
00:06:00,985 --> 00:06:02,987
REPORTER (over TV):
America's team of
astronauts was increased
103
00:06:03,071 --> 00:06:05,823
to 16 today with the
addition of nine new members.
104
00:06:05,907 --> 00:06:09,577
It was specified that
they will be trained
for trips to the Moon.
105
00:06:22,548 --> 00:06:28,763
โช โช
106
00:06:29,931 --> 00:06:32,392
REPORTER (over TV):
As more and more
scientific instruments marked,
107
00:06:32,475 --> 00:06:33,768
"Made in America"
108
00:06:33,851 --> 00:06:35,812
begin to show up in the
space around the Earth,
109
00:06:35,895 --> 00:06:38,689
a wave of business-like
optimism is being felt among
110
00:06:38,773 --> 00:06:41,109
American space officials.
111
00:06:41,609 --> 00:06:44,821
In both the House and
Senate Space Committees,
the committee men have been
112
00:06:44,904 --> 00:06:48,866
pleading with an official of
the space administration to
tell them that he needs more
113
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:51,369
money, and he's been
saying "No, he doesn't.
114
00:06:51,452 --> 00:06:54,539
His space work
has been going fine
on its current budget."
115
00:06:54,872 --> 00:06:56,791
That official is
Wernher Von Braun,
116
00:06:56,874 --> 00:06:59,919
head of the famous
Army rocket team which is
now in the process of being
117
00:07:00,002 --> 00:07:03,214
transferred to
the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration,
118
00:07:03,798 --> 00:07:06,676
known from
its initials as NASA.
119
00:07:07,468 --> 00:07:11,472
BRAUN: I'm often asked
just what reason there is
for man's going into space.
120
00:07:12,890 --> 00:07:16,060
It seems the notion
is popular in this
age of electronic and
121
00:07:16,144 --> 00:07:19,897
mechanical miracles
that man is rapidly
becoming obsolete.
122
00:07:20,773 --> 00:07:24,944
Men in space,
some people say is a
liability and a nuisance.
123
00:07:25,820 --> 00:07:30,241
Equipment can be
designed to react to many
known and fewer anticipated
124
00:07:30,324 --> 00:07:33,202
situations or events.
125
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:38,583
But men can observe
and correlate facts and
respond to the unexpected.
126
00:07:40,501 --> 00:07:42,753
MAN (off screen):
This spacecraft built by
American Industry for the
127
00:07:42,837 --> 00:07:45,298
National Aeronautics
and Space Administration
128
00:07:45,381 --> 00:07:49,177
will be launched into
space from Cape Kennedy
in a few days.
129
00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:51,596
It will carry no astronauts,
130
00:07:51,679 --> 00:07:54,098
yet this mission
is one of the most
important space flights
131
00:07:54,182 --> 00:07:56,559
to date for this is Apollo,
132
00:07:56,642 --> 00:07:59,228
the first of a family
of spacecraft designed to
133
00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:02,899
transport Americans to
the Moon before 1970.
134
00:08:03,441 --> 00:08:06,444
Many of its complex
systems will fly in
space for the first time
135
00:08:06,527 --> 00:08:08,779
aboard this spacecraft.
136
00:08:08,863 --> 00:08:11,949
SHEA: After the
launch vehicle has placed
us at the proper velocity,
137
00:08:12,033 --> 00:08:16,746
the Command Module and
the Service Module separate
from the launch vehicle.
138
00:08:17,955 --> 00:08:22,168
They've been pitched down at
an attitude roughly like this.
139
00:08:22,251 --> 00:08:27,340
This engine, which we will
ultimately use to return the
astronauts from Earth's orbit
140
00:08:27,423 --> 00:08:32,261
to the Earth's surface
and also in later missions to
put the astronauts into lunar
141
00:08:32,345 --> 00:08:34,764
orbit and bring them
back home from lunar orbit,
142
00:08:34,847 --> 00:08:37,183
will then have
its first flight test.
143
00:08:37,683 --> 00:08:39,560
MAN (off screen):
From the Mission Control
Center in Houston,
144
00:08:39,644 --> 00:08:41,938
Glynn Lunney will
direct the flight.
145
00:08:42,313 --> 00:08:45,441
LUNNEY: We are conducting the
first Apollo spacecraft test,
146
00:08:45,525 --> 00:08:48,277
Apollo-Saturn 201,
from this control center
147
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:51,572
in the Mission
Control Center
in Houston, Texas.
148
00:08:51,656 --> 00:08:55,076
From now on, the Apollo
flights after liftoff
will be directed from
149
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:56,869
this Control Center.
150
00:08:56,953 --> 00:08:59,914
We've been exercising
the Control Center for
the last couple of months,
151
00:08:59,997 --> 00:09:02,416
and we are ready
to start flying.
152
00:09:05,795 --> 00:09:08,756
REPORTER (over radio):
Astronauts preparing for
America's first lunar mission
153
00:09:08,839 --> 00:09:11,551
follow a complex
training program.
154
00:09:11,634 --> 00:09:15,346
Designed to provide
them with knowledge about
the conditions they will face
155
00:09:15,429 --> 00:09:17,682
during their
mission to the Moon.
156
00:09:19,934 --> 00:09:21,811
BURKE (over TV):
There's one way on
Earth that you can
157
00:09:21,894 --> 00:09:24,063
reproduce the weightlessness
experienced in space,
158
00:09:24,146 --> 00:09:26,190
and that's in this plane.
159
00:09:26,524 --> 00:09:28,234
I don't know if
I'm talking clearly,
160
00:09:28,317 --> 00:09:30,820
but pretty soon we'll go
up over the top and when we
161
00:09:30,903 --> 00:09:34,991
do I'm supposed to float,
and, and,
162
00:09:36,075 --> 00:09:38,911
I'm going. I'm going.
163
00:09:39,954 --> 00:09:41,247
It's fantastic.
164
00:09:41,330 --> 00:09:42,415
It's unbelievable!
165
00:09:42,498 --> 00:09:45,668
It's the most
extraordinary feeling.
166
00:09:45,751 --> 00:09:48,838
I can't, I can't
really control myself.
167
00:09:49,964 --> 00:09:52,717
All the dust is
flying with me.
168
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,720
I'm up, I can't
control myself at all.
169
00:09:56,637 --> 00:09:58,472
CRONKITE (over TV):
Two years, really,
170
00:09:58,556 --> 00:10:01,225
of day and night work
and months away from home.
171
00:10:01,309 --> 00:10:03,311
It's a big
job these men have.
172
00:10:03,394 --> 00:10:05,521
There's nothing
simple about it.
173
00:10:06,105 --> 00:10:08,316
REPORTER (over TV):
The question everybody
wants to ask,
174
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:10,192
what do the wives
and children of
175
00:10:10,276 --> 00:10:12,778
these men think of their
ambitions to go into space?
176
00:10:13,362 --> 00:10:16,407
GLENN: My wife's attitude
towards this has been the
same as it has been all along
177
00:10:16,490 --> 00:10:20,244
through all my flying
that if it's what I want
to do and she's behind it
178
00:10:20,911 --> 00:10:23,581
and the kids are too, 100%.
179
00:10:23,664 --> 00:10:26,125
GRISSOM: Well, my wife
feels the same way or of
course I couldn't be here.
180
00:10:26,208 --> 00:10:31,881
She's with me all the way,
and the boys are too little to
realize what's going on yet,
181
00:10:31,964 --> 00:10:33,591
but I'm sure they
feel the same way.
182
00:10:33,674 --> 00:10:37,678
REPORTER (off screen):
Mrs. Grissom, do you hope that
he is the fellow who makes it?
183
00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:42,099
BETTY: Well, I don't know.
184
00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:45,102
How would you
feel if your wife,
185
00:10:45,186 --> 00:10:47,605
I still want one of you
guys to answer that for me.
186
00:10:48,564 --> 00:10:49,774
REPORTER (off screen):
Answer what?
187
00:10:49,857 --> 00:10:52,193
BETTY: Just how would you
feel it was vice versa,
188
00:10:52,276 --> 00:10:54,236
if it was your wife
going to outer space.
189
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,821
Now, just how would
you feel about it?
190
00:10:58,574 --> 00:11:01,911
MAN (off screen): The Moon
is a necessary first step for
exploration of the planets.
191
00:11:02,745 --> 00:11:06,123
To fly men there
and return them safely
in this decade is the goal
192
00:11:06,207 --> 00:11:08,459
of NASA's project Apollo.
193
00:11:09,043 --> 00:11:12,797
The early missions of
Mercury and the experience
from Gemini have brought
194
00:11:13,422 --> 00:11:14,882
this country to
195
00:11:14,965 --> 00:11:18,469
the next major milestone,
the first Apollo
three-man space flight.
196
00:11:18,552 --> 00:11:20,846
These are the men
to fly that mission.
197
00:11:20,930 --> 00:11:23,140
Command pilot Virgil Grissom.
198
00:11:23,224 --> 00:11:25,351
Mercury, Gemini,
and now Apollo.
199
00:11:25,434 --> 00:11:27,311
His third time into space.
200
00:11:27,395 --> 00:11:29,772
One of the original
seven astronauts.
201
00:11:29,855 --> 00:11:31,524
The senior pilot,
Edward White.
202
00:11:31,607 --> 00:11:34,902
He will be remembered
for his spacewalk
during Gemini four.
203
00:11:35,528 --> 00:11:39,073
White has been specializing
in the computers and training
for the upcoming mission.
204
00:11:39,782 --> 00:11:43,035
Astronaut Roger Chaffee will
man the third Apollo seat.
205
00:11:43,119 --> 00:11:46,038
He has been
concentrating on the flight
plan and experiments.
206
00:11:53,337 --> 00:11:56,757
CHAFFEE: I think everybody
in the space program has
been asked this 50 times and
207
00:11:56,841 --> 00:12:01,554
it's probably the toughest
question to answer and not
sound, shall we say corny,
208
00:12:02,972 --> 00:12:04,098
with the answer.
209
00:12:04,181 --> 00:12:06,183
It's a new phase
of exploration.
210
00:12:06,267 --> 00:12:11,522
It's, you might say and sound
a little trite, it's there.
211
00:12:14,024 --> 00:12:17,862
We'd be neglecting
our duties as people,
as human beings if we
212
00:12:17,945 --> 00:12:20,698
didn't try to investigate it.
213
00:12:21,115 --> 00:12:23,075
CHAFFEE (off screen):
We're improving our
engineering capability.
214
00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:28,247
We're building new
equipment that has an untold
number of uses in fields that
215
00:12:28,330 --> 00:12:31,000
we can't even
conceive of today.
216
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:36,630
The scientific aspect,
I don't think anybody can
predict what it's going to be.
217
00:12:37,465 --> 00:12:41,677
Things that we'll find there,
some of the basic geologic
things that we might find
218
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:47,016
there that have long since
been destroyed by weather
on Earth, might give us more
219
00:12:47,099 --> 00:12:51,353
insight into the birth
of our universe, or birth
of our solar system.
220
00:12:54,231 --> 00:12:56,734
REPORTER (off screen):
You flew on Mercury,
you flew on Gemini,
221
00:12:56,817 --> 00:12:58,986
now you're flying on Apollo.
222
00:12:59,069 --> 00:13:03,783
Is the law of averages so
far as the possibility of a
catastrophic failure bother
223
00:13:03,866 --> 00:13:06,160
you at all, sir?
224
00:13:06,243 --> 00:13:09,622
GRISSOM: No, you sort of have
to put that out of your mind.
225
00:13:09,955 --> 00:13:14,418
There's always
a possibility that you
can have a catastrophic
226
00:13:14,502 --> 00:13:15,920
failure of course.
227
00:13:16,003 --> 00:13:17,296
It's going to happen
on any flight.
228
00:13:17,379 --> 00:13:19,590
It can happen on the last
one as well as the first one,
229
00:13:19,673 --> 00:13:22,885
so you just
plan as best you can
230
00:13:22,968 --> 00:13:25,930
to take care of all of
these eventualities.
231
00:13:26,013 --> 00:13:30,226
And you get a well-trained
crew and you go fly.

00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:20,878
Pad leader, get in

Pad leader, were
you able to hear them?

All right, crew,
we get verification?

00:15:36,644 --> 00:15:38,520
Just handed to us from
WCCO Radio News now.
258
00:15:38,604 --> 00:15:41,774
An accidental fire
has broken out on the Apollo
launch pad at Cape Kennedy,
259
00:15:41,857 --> 00:15:44,443
killing at least one person.
260

RYAN: Good evening.
262
00:15:49,615 --> 00:15:52,618
Astronauts Virgil Grissom,
Edward White, and Roger Chaffee
have been killed
263
00:15:52,701 --> 00:15:57,039
in a flash fire during a
rehearsal of the countdown and
launch of the Apollo flight
264
00:15:57,122 --> 00:15:59,583
they were to have made

EDWARDS (over radio):
Details are sparse,
266
00:16:04,588 --> 00:16:06,840
but killed were Air Force
Lieutenant Colonel
267
00:16:06,924 --> 00:16:10,928
Virgil Grissom, who
was one of the seven
original Mercury astronauts.
268
00:16:11,011 --> 00:16:13,722
Very well known, indeed.
269
00:16:15,057 --> 00:16:17,768
Air Force Lieutenant
Colonel Edward White II,
270
00:16:17,851 --> 00:16:20,354
who was the first
American to walk in space,
271
00:16:20,437 --> 00:16:24,066
and Navy Lieutenant
Commander Roger Chaffee,
a rookie awaiting his first
272
00:16:24,149 --> 00:16:26,318
flight in space.
273
00:16:27,945 --> 00:16:30,698
REPORTER (over radio):
The spacecraft was located
218 feet above the launch
274
00:16:30,781 --> 00:16:34,910
pad and was mated
to the uprated Saturn
1B launch vehicle.
275
00:16:35,577 --> 00:16:37,371
Hatches on the
spacecraft were closed.
276
00:16:37,454 --> 00:16:41,250
Emergency crews were
hampered by dense smoke
in removing the hatches.

00:16:44,044 --> 00:16:46,797
HARTZ (off screen):
Within a few hours, an official
investigation was underway.
278
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,591
Tapes containing telemetry
records were impounded.
279
00:16:49,675 --> 00:16:52,386
Photographs showing
the position of every
switch and valve inside
280
00:16:52,469 --> 00:16:54,346
the cabin were made.
281
00:16:54,430 --> 00:16:57,891
Eyewitnesses were
asked to tell their story
while it was fresh and then,
282
00:16:57,975 --> 00:16:59,810
shortly before
2:00 this morning,
283
00:16:59,893 --> 00:17:03,397
the bodies of Grissom,
White, and Chaffee were
removed and brought down.

the same Moon he had
hoped someday to land on,
286
00:17:15,451 --> 00:17:17,161
the stage is
set for the burial of
287
00:17:17,244 --> 00:17:20,664
Virgil Gus Grissom here
at Arlington National
Cemetery this morning.
288
00:17:25,085 --> 00:17:27,838
The mourners
taking their place.
289

CLAPPER (over radio):
President Johnson said in
a statement, "Three valiant
292
00:17:40,851 --> 00:17:43,395
young men have given their
lives in the nation's service.
293
00:17:43,479 --> 00:17:46,190
We mourn this great
loss and our hearts go
out to their families."
294
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,528
Space officials say
that because of the tragedy,
295
00:17:51,612 --> 00:17:55,240
the Apollo 1 flight has now
been postponed indefinitely.
296
00:18:02,664 --> 00:18:05,876

00:18:05,959 --> 00:18:09,004
President Dwight Eisenhower.
298
00:18:10,339 --> 00:18:15,427
NASA's primary purpose is
to acquire new knowledge about
the universe in which we live.
299
00:18:16,762 --> 00:18:20,015
We're now approaching
the industrial area of
the Kennedy Space Center.
300
00:18:20,099 --> 00:18:23,393
That first large
building over there
is known as the CIF,
301
00:18:23,477 --> 00:18:26,897
which means Central
Instrumentation Facility.

00:20:01,909 --> 00:20:05,078
first test flight.
314
00:20:06,121 --> 00:20:08,624
It is planned as
an endurance test.
315
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:13,420
Ten days and nineteen hours
in orbit during which the
crew will test Apollo 7.

320
00:20:28,644 --> 00:20:29,895
Will you tell us about that?
321
00:20:29,978 --> 00:20:31,563
TINNEN: Yes, this
will be a first.
322
00:20:31,647 --> 00:20:34,441
There will be a small,
portable camera on board.
323
00:20:34,524 --> 00:20:39,029
And about five or six times
during the mission at the
discretion of Captain Schirra,
324
00:20:39,112 --> 00:20:43,492
it will be used to view
the astronauts at work,
in the spacecraft.
325
00:20:45,285 --> 00:20:48,330
CAPCOM (over radio):
Here comes a picture,
and it's white.
326
00:20:48,872 --> 00:20:50,374
We look at Eisele.
327
00:20:50,457 --> 00:20:54,586
Uh, a nice shot, it looks
straight up and he's moving
and he's really quite clear.
328
00:20:55,212 --> 00:20:57,005
Let's all have a look at it.
329
00:20:57,089 --> 00:21:00,133
REPORTER (off screen):
That's Donn Eisele talking,
now he's holding up a sign.
330
00:21:00,217 --> 00:21:02,678
CAPCOM (over radio):
I can read it,
now just a minute.
331
00:21:03,011 --> 00:21:05,973
CAPCOM (over radio):
The lovely Apollo room
high atop everything.
332
00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:08,058
SCHIRRA (over radio):
That's right.
333
00:21:08,976 --> 00:21:10,435
EISELE (over radio):
And there we have him.
334
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:12,312
You can see he has
been working very hard.
335
00:21:12,396 --> 00:21:14,982
Wally has been
drilling his troops.
336
00:21:15,649 --> 00:21:18,694
SCHIRRA (over radio):
As you can see, we have
our lighter moments.
337
00:21:19,027 --> 00:21:21,989
You may note from this that we
even have our ups and downs.
338
00:21:22,948 --> 00:21:25,450
SCHIRRA (over radio):
Next time, we will have to
get better material
339
00:21:25,534 --> 00:21:27,119
or better writers.
340
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:29,288
HOPE: Gentlemen, you
all know why we're here.
341
00:21:29,371 --> 00:21:33,083
NASA wasn't too happy with
your TV shows from space.
342
00:21:33,166 --> 00:21:35,377
SCHIRRA: I thought
we were pretty funny.
343
00:21:36,003 --> 00:21:37,129
HOPE: Are you kidding?
344
00:21:37,212 --> 00:21:39,715
You're lucky you weren't
canceled in mid-flight.
345
00:21:42,009 --> 00:21:43,760
EISELE: But sir, we
accomplished our mission.
346
00:21:43,844 --> 00:21:44,928
It was successful.
347
00:21:45,012 --> 00:21:47,472
HOPE: Successful?
Did you see your ratings?
348
00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:49,766
It won't do gentlemen.
349
00:21:49,850 --> 00:21:51,727
You've gotta give the people
a show, excitement, laughs.
350
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:52,894
Believe me, I know.
351
00:21:52,978 --> 00:21:55,188
Why do you think I've
been a star for 25 years?
352
00:21:55,272 --> 00:21:56,898
SCHIRRA: Luck?
353
00:21:57,774 --> 00:22:00,902
(laughter and applause)
354
00:22:05,866 --> 00:22:08,327
HOPE: Watch it, nobody
likes a smart astronaut.
355
00:22:26,261 --> 00:22:29,848
REPORTER: Mr. Schneider,
will you detail the milestones
of the Apollo 8 mission?
356
00:22:30,557 --> 00:22:33,101
SCHNEIDER: Well,
on December 21st,
357
00:22:33,185 --> 00:22:36,438
the Saturn Five will
place the spacecraft into a
358
00:22:36,521 --> 00:22:39,316
100-mile orbit
around the Earth.
359
00:22:40,275 --> 00:22:45,739
Roughly two orbits later,
that is about two hours
and fifty minutes later,
360
00:22:46,656 --> 00:22:49,868
the last stage of the
Saturn Five will re-ignite,
361
00:22:49,951 --> 00:22:52,788
placing the spacecraft
on a trajectory
362
00:22:53,455 --> 00:22:55,957
that will lead it
out to the Moon.
363
00:22:56,750 --> 00:23:00,962
SCHNEIDER (off screen): At
the back side of the moon,
if things are as we expect,
364
00:23:01,046 --> 00:23:02,923
the crew will ignite the
365
00:23:03,006 --> 00:23:07,594
Service Propulsion
System on the spacecraft
and place themselves into
366
00:23:07,677 --> 00:23:13,016
an elliptical
60-mile by 170-mile
orbit around the Moon.
367
00:23:14,184 --> 00:23:17,437
LOVELL: You know we've
been planning this flight for
years and years, and sometimes,
368
00:23:17,521 --> 00:23:21,525
when you read
about it or hear it for
so long you think that the
369
00:23:21,608 --> 00:23:23,276
goal is academic, you know.
370
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:27,114
You don't really, finally
understand that you're really
gonna try something like this
371
00:23:27,197 --> 00:23:28,907
and now it's getting closer,
372
00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:31,576
and we're not just talking
about something in the future,
373
00:23:31,660 --> 00:23:33,995
we're talking about
something right now.
374
00:23:34,329 --> 00:23:36,915
HYDE: You well may be
the first man on the moon.
375
00:23:36,998 --> 00:23:38,875
How do you personally
feel about it?
376
00:23:39,501 --> 00:23:41,878
LOVELL (off screen):
Well I have the same desire
as all the astronauts.
377
00:23:41,962 --> 00:23:43,797
We'd all like to
make that trip.
378
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,509
But I think that
the way the trip will be
accomplished is by teamwork.
379
00:23:47,592 --> 00:23:51,555
Whether we're back here
on Earth, or we're in the
capsule, or actually getting
380
00:23:51,638 --> 00:23:54,349
off on the, onto
the Moon's surface.
381
00:23:55,142 --> 00:23:57,519
Teamwork is the
most important part.
382
00:23:57,853 --> 00:24:02,858
JIM: Frank, the Russians
have indicated that some
lifeforms they had aboard
383
00:24:03,275 --> 00:24:08,029
Zond 5 underwent some
major changes, and I was
wondering if because of this
384
00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:11,408
you're going to take any
extra precautions in
radiation detection?
385
00:24:12,951 --> 00:24:16,913
BORMAN: Well Jim, we
have fortunately, I have,
Jim has liver trouble,
386
00:24:17,873 --> 00:24:21,460
and Bill Anders
is a radiation expert so I can
pass the question off to them.
387
00:24:22,294 --> 00:24:25,922
ANDERS: Well, I haven't
heard about what the
Russians are flying.
388
00:24:26,006 --> 00:24:27,424
REPORTER: Turtles.
389
00:24:27,507 --> 00:24:30,927
ANDERS:
Well, we've had trouble
with turtles in flight, too.
390
00:24:35,390 --> 00:24:37,017
REPORTER (off screen): We
had them there first, too.
391
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:40,854
ANDERS: Our, the analysis
that I'm familiar with about
radiation in and around the
392
00:24:40,937 --> 00:24:44,733
moon, to my knowledge, will
present a negligible problem.
393
00:24:50,780 --> 00:24:53,158
MURPHY (off screen):
There is a feeling of
self-assuredness here,
394
00:24:53,241 --> 00:24:56,119
a feeling that everything's
going to go all right.
395
00:24:56,203 --> 00:24:59,998
But beneath the calm
exterior, there is concern.
396
00:25:00,081 --> 00:25:03,293
Few here would agree
with an official who said
yesterday that this mission
397
00:25:03,376 --> 00:25:05,337
had no special significance.
398
00:25:05,420 --> 00:25:06,588
It does.
399
00:25:06,671 --> 00:25:09,049
Man is about to leave his
planet for the first time.
400
00:25:09,132 --> 00:25:12,928
Odds are against a major
systems failure, but if one
occurred, the men could be
401
00:25:13,011 --> 00:25:16,806
lost, and that would
be a disaster for the
American space program.
402
00:25:17,849 --> 00:25:22,103
On the other hand, if the
mission is successful, it
would be dramatic proof that
403
00:25:22,187 --> 00:25:25,065
we are ahead of the
Russians in the race to
put a man on the Moon.
404
00:25:25,148 --> 00:25:28,860
It could mean a lot more
money for the space program.
405
00:25:29,194 --> 00:25:33,323
Everyone here knows that,
but as I said everyone is
calm, cool, and confident,
406
00:25:33,406 --> 00:25:35,367
also concerned.
407
00:25:42,207 --> 00:25:47,837
โช โช
408
00:25:51,967 --> 00:25:54,803
MICHELMORE (off screen):
In 1961, President John
F. Kennedy committed,
409
00:25:54,886 --> 00:25:58,056
as far as anyone could commit,
the Americans to having a
410
00:25:58,139 --> 00:26:01,017
man on the Moon by 1970.
411
00:26:01,768 --> 00:26:08,108
Today, from Cape Kennedy,
a vital step is being made to
the realization of that goal.
412
00:26:08,984 --> 00:26:13,780
The plan today is
to put three men in orbit
around the Moon 10 times.
413
00:26:14,614 --> 00:26:19,369
They will see that 40%
of the Moon that man has
never set eyes on before.
414
00:26:20,495 --> 00:26:24,624
LOVELL: Once you're in the
spacecraft, once the hatch
is closed and the engines
415
00:26:24,708 --> 00:26:27,961
start up and those
retaining arms go down,
416
00:26:28,044 --> 00:26:31,298
then it's either gonna go,
or it's not gonna go.
417
00:26:31,923 --> 00:26:37,971
KING (over radio): T-Minus
15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10.
418
00:26:40,890 --> 00:26:43,768
9, we have ignition
sequence start.
419
00:26:44,769 --> 00:26:46,187
The engines are armed.
420
00:26:46,271 --> 00:26:49,649
Four, three, two, one, zero.
421
00:26:49,983 --> 00:26:52,277
CRIM: And there's the
flames from those five
first stage engines.
422
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:55,530
What a tremendous sight,
there's brilliant orange
flames blowing out in all
423
00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:58,325
directions from
underneath that rocket,
and we have liftoff.
424
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:03,079
Moving very, very slowly now
as the base of that rocket
burning brilliantly against
425
00:27:03,163 --> 00:27:05,498
the Florida sky moves
up past the tower.
426
00:27:06,750 --> 00:27:09,294
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Liftoff. The clock is running.
427
00:27:12,088 --> 00:27:13,465
CRIM (off screen): The rocket
has cleared the tower and
428
00:27:13,548 --> 00:27:15,342
there she goes on
her way to the Moon.
429
00:27:15,425 --> 00:27:19,220
There goes the Saturn V rocket
taking man on his first visit
to the vicinity of the Moon.
430
00:27:21,097 --> 00:27:23,099
Roll 6 program.
431
00:27:28,563 --> 00:27:31,316
REPORTER (off screen):
Mrs. Lovell, after watching
the last two launches involving
432
00:27:31,399 --> 00:27:33,568
your husband from
your home in Houston,
433
00:27:33,652 --> 00:27:36,321
why did you decide this
time to come to the Cape?
434
00:27:38,156 --> 00:27:42,202
MARILYN: Well, I just felt
like it was an experience that
we should share as a family,
435
00:27:42,535 --> 00:27:43,703
and Jim wanted us down here.
436
00:27:43,787 --> 00:27:45,538
REPORTER (off screen): Was it
different than the first time?
437
00:27:45,622 --> 00:27:46,915
MARILYN: Yes. It was.
438
00:27:46,998 --> 00:27:49,084
REPORTER (off screen):
In what way?
439
00:27:50,001 --> 00:27:52,462
MARILYN: Well, I, I don't
know how to explain it.
440
00:27:52,545 --> 00:27:55,840
I guess because I was
here to see it with a naked
eye, maybe that's the reason
441
00:27:55,924 --> 00:27:57,550
why I feel
that it was different.
442
00:27:57,634 --> 00:28:00,595
REPORTER (off screen): Are the
children gonna wait for their
presents until he gets back?
443
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:03,390
MARILYN (off screen): No.
We're going to have a normal
Christmas with the children
444
00:28:03,473 --> 00:28:05,975
on Christmas day.
445
00:28:07,394 --> 00:28:09,396
BURKE: This mission
is loaded with what's called
446
00:28:09,479 --> 00:28:11,356
"Life Critical Points."
447
00:28:11,439 --> 00:28:14,484
Those are the points
during the mission when
if anything goes wrong,
448
00:28:14,567 --> 00:28:17,112
a rocket fires,
or fails to fire,
449
00:28:17,195 --> 00:28:20,365
or misfires, then the
life of the astronauts
is put in danger.
450
00:28:20,990 --> 00:28:23,451
The first one of
course is on launch.
451
00:28:23,827 --> 00:28:28,123
The second one is after
two orbits of the Earth,
round here over the Pacific,
452
00:28:28,206 --> 00:28:31,793
when they decide to
go for what's called
Translunar Insertion,
453
00:28:32,127 --> 00:28:34,087
that is to begin
the trip to the Moon.
454
00:28:34,170 --> 00:28:38,842
When Saturn IV B, that's
the third stage of the giant
booster, fires for a second
455
00:28:38,925 --> 00:28:40,677
time to put them into space.
456
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:45,849
Now that Saturn IV B rocket
has never fired twice in space
before with men on board.
457
00:28:45,932 --> 00:28:49,477
If it over-fires,
it will put them into
a wild trajectory out here,
458
00:28:49,561 --> 00:28:52,105
from which they could
possibly not return.
459
00:28:52,188 --> 00:28:54,691
REPORTER (off screen):
Do they understand anything
about what's going on,
460
00:28:54,774 --> 00:28:56,192
the youngest ones?
461
00:28:56,860 --> 00:28:58,194
VALERIE (off screen):
A surprising amount.
462
00:28:58,278 --> 00:29:01,364
In fact, my four-year-old
said to me, "Is he going
around the Moon ten times,"
463
00:29:01,448 --> 00:29:03,408
which nearly floored me.
464
00:29:03,491 --> 00:29:07,078
I had no idea that he, that
he really grasped that much.
465
00:29:07,746 --> 00:29:09,539
And then yesterday,
he heard a newscast
and he said,
466
00:29:09,622 --> 00:29:11,082
"Mommy, is it dangerous?"
467
00:29:11,166 --> 00:29:13,001
REPORTER (off screen):
What'd you tell him?
468
00:29:13,084 --> 00:29:16,004
VALERIE:
I said, "No, daddy's
gonna be fine, Eric."
469
00:29:16,629 --> 00:29:18,506
What else?
470
00:29:18,882 --> 00:29:21,468
REPORTER (over radio):
The manned Spacecraft Center
in Houston says all is ready
471
00:29:21,551 --> 00:29:24,637
for a translunar
injection of Apollo 8.
472
00:29:24,721 --> 00:29:26,014
In a matter
of a few minutes,
473
00:29:26,097 --> 00:29:27,932
near the end of
the second revolution,
474
00:29:28,016 --> 00:29:31,978
the J2 engine of the
third stage of the mighty
Saturn V will be reignited
475
00:29:32,061 --> 00:29:33,897
for about five minutes.
476
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,318
This will inject the
vehicle and spacecraft into
a translunar trajectory.
477
00:29:41,571 --> 00:29:43,698
COLLINS (over radio):
Apollo 8. Houston. Over.
478
00:29:43,782 --> 00:29:46,326
HANEY (over radio):
Apollo 8 has been advised
once again that they look
479
00:29:46,409 --> 00:29:47,952
good for the burn.
480
00:29:48,036 --> 00:29:51,247
COLLINS (over radio): Roger,
we are gonna rewind your tape
recorder and we have the TLI.
481
00:29:51,331 --> 00:29:54,375
HANEY (over radio):
About every minute, the
flight director has pulsed,
482
00:29:54,459 --> 00:29:57,504
the booster man,
in this control center,
to get his status.
483
00:29:57,587 --> 00:29:59,923
MAN (over radio):
Um, the weight will be.
484
00:30:00,006 --> 00:30:01,925
HANEY (over radio):
Thirty seconds to TLI.
485
00:30:02,008 --> 00:30:04,928
COLLINS (over radio):
Apollo 8, coming up on
20 seconds to ignition.
486
00:30:05,345 --> 00:30:07,597
Mark it and you're
looking very good.
487
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,642
HANEY (over radio):
And Mike Collins gives them a
mark, 20 seconds to ignition.
488
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:14,270
BORMAN (over radio):
Roger.
489
00:30:15,355 --> 00:30:17,148
HANEY (over radio): And
he's counting, four, two...
490
00:30:17,857 --> 00:30:19,150
LOVELL (over radio):
Ignition.
491
00:30:19,651 --> 00:30:20,985
COLLINS (over radio):
Roger, ignition.
492
00:30:24,781 --> 00:30:26,616
HANEY (over radio):
We see ignition.
493
00:30:26,699 --> 00:30:29,452
COLLINS (over radio):
Apollo 8, Houston.
You're looking good.
494
00:30:29,536 --> 00:30:31,704
PA OFFICER (over radio):
This climb translates
out to approximately
495
00:30:31,788 --> 00:30:34,040
150 miles a minute.
496
00:30:34,791 --> 00:30:37,377
HANEY (over radio):
These three crew members
are traveling faster than
497
00:30:37,460 --> 00:30:40,213
man has ever flown before.
498
00:30:41,172 --> 00:30:42,799
COLLINS (over radio):
Apollo 8, Houston.
499
00:30:42,882 --> 00:30:45,802
Trajectory and
guidance look good, over.
500
00:30:47,053 --> 00:30:50,974
REPORTER (off screen):
Hold your breath just a
little bit longer.
501
00:30:51,349 --> 00:30:53,393
This rocket has just
a little longer to go.
502
00:30:54,394 --> 00:30:58,231
The rocket's obviously
riding very smoothly for them
and thrusting at full value.
503
00:30:58,690 --> 00:31:00,608
HANEY (over radio):
Flight dynamics says
we're exactly nominal.
504
00:31:01,359 --> 00:31:03,528
REPORTER (off screen):
Right on the button.
505
00:31:04,571 --> 00:31:06,948
HANEY (over radio):
Flight dynamics says
we look good, flight.
506
00:31:07,282 --> 00:31:09,367
They're watching
the thrust build.
507
00:31:10,451 --> 00:31:12,036
COLLINS (over radio):
Apollo 8, Houston,
you're looking good here,
508
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,580
right down the centerline.
509
00:31:14,247 --> 00:31:15,915
BORMAN (over radio):
Roger. Apollo 8.
510
00:31:16,749 --> 00:31:18,209
HANEY (over radio):
Trajectory, guidance,
flight dynamics.
511
00:31:18,293 --> 00:31:21,588
Everybody in the front
trench of this control
center, says they're happy.
512
00:31:22,005 --> 00:31:24,257
That includes the Booster.
513
00:31:24,966 --> 00:31:26,009
REPORTER (off screen):
There you have it.
514
00:31:26,092 --> 00:31:28,011
They are on their
way to the Moon.
515
00:31:28,094 --> 00:31:31,180
One of the most
critical points on this
flight is now over.
516
00:31:32,932 --> 00:31:36,227
SCHOUMACHER (over TV):
The spacecraft is well over
70,000 miles right on course
517
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:37,896
to the Moon.
518
00:31:37,979 --> 00:31:41,357
It is rolling very slowly to
distribute the heat of the Sun
over the skin of the capsule.
519
00:31:41,983 --> 00:31:45,486
Ground computers calculate
that Apollo 8 will arrive
in the vicinity of the Moon
520
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:48,197
within 3 minutes of the
pre-launch schedule.
521
00:31:51,701 --> 00:31:55,204
REPORTER (over radio):
You've just been listening
to a broadcast of history.
522
00:31:55,288 --> 00:32:00,501
We have men on their way
to the Moon solidly, and
at this point, very safely.
523
00:32:04,005 --> 00:32:06,507
MUELLER (over radio):
Apollo 8 will be doing
only about 2,700 miles an hour
524
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:09,886
when the Moon's gravity
grabs it on Christmas Eve
and draws Apollo 8
525
00:32:09,969 --> 00:32:13,932
toward mankind's first
historic rendezvous with
another celestial body.
526
00:32:15,850 --> 00:32:18,394
BORMAN: Oh my God!
Look at that picture
over there.
527
00:32:20,188 --> 00:32:22,440
Here's the Earth coming up.
Wow is that pretty.
528
00:32:23,733 --> 00:32:25,193
ANDERS: Hand me that roll
of color quick, will you?
529
00:32:25,276 --> 00:32:26,527
LOVELL (over radio):
Oh man, that's great.
Where is it?
530
00:32:26,611 --> 00:32:28,237
ANDERS: Quick.
531
00:32:31,366 --> 00:32:35,036
ANDERS: Just grab me a color.
That color exterior.
532
00:32:40,458 --> 00:32:43,503
LOVELL (over radio):
Mike, what I keep
imagining is, if I'm a-
533
00:32:43,586 --> 00:32:45,630
some lonely traveler
from another planet,
534
00:32:45,713 --> 00:32:48,091
what I would think about
the Earth at this altitude
535
00:32:48,174 --> 00:32:51,302
whether I think it'd
be inhabited or not.
536
00:32:52,595 --> 00:32:55,056
CAPCOM (over radio):
Don't see anybody waving,
is that what you're saying?
537
00:32:56,224 --> 00:32:59,644
LOVELL (over radio): I was
just kind of curious whether I
would land on the blue or the
538
00:32:59,727 --> 00:33:01,479
brown part of the Earth.
539
00:33:03,189 --> 00:33:04,983
ANDERS (over radio):
You better hope that we
land on the blue part.
540
00:33:09,737 --> 00:33:12,073
DOWNS (over TV):
We're back now 30 minutes
after the hour on this Today,
541
00:33:12,156 --> 00:33:14,534
December 24th, and
542
00:33:14,617 --> 00:33:16,786
it's a rather unusual
Christmas Eve,
I think, for the,
543
00:33:16,869 --> 00:33:19,831
for the nation and the world.
544
00:33:20,415 --> 00:33:23,626
It's the first,
not only Christmas Eve,
but the first day at all
545
00:33:23,710 --> 00:33:26,838
that we've had human
beings circling the Moon.
546
00:33:29,799 --> 00:33:32,343
REYNOLDS (over TV):
And tonight, the crew
of Apollo 8 presents a
547
00:33:32,427 --> 00:33:34,846
Christmas Eve program
from the heavens.
548
00:33:48,484 --> 00:33:50,403
CAPCOM (over radio):
Apollo 8, Houston, Over.
549
00:33:52,405 --> 00:33:55,283
ANDERS (over radio):
Houston, this is Apollo 8
with the TV going. Over.
550
00:33:58,578 --> 00:34:00,872
LOVELL (over radio):
Welcome from the Moon, Houston.
551
00:34:04,417 --> 00:34:06,419
LOVELL (over radio): What
we've noticed especially that
552
00:34:06,502 --> 00:34:10,089
you cannot see from Earth,
are the small bright
impact craters
553
00:34:10,173 --> 00:34:12,425
that dominate
the lunar surface.
554
00:34:13,718 --> 00:34:19,182
(camera shutter clicking)
555
00:34:20,641 --> 00:34:23,978
BORMAN (over radio):
The Moon is a different
thing to each one of us.
556
00:34:30,735 --> 00:34:33,696
BORMAN (over radio): I
know my own impression is
that it's a vast,
557
00:34:33,780 --> 00:34:37,909
lonely, forbidding-type
existence.
558
00:34:39,786 --> 00:34:44,499
ANDERS (over radio): We are
now approaching lunar sunrise
559
00:34:44,582 --> 00:34:48,669
and for all the
people back on Earth,
560
00:34:49,295 --> 00:34:53,591
the crew of Apollo 8
has a message that we
would like to send to you.
561
00:34:56,469 --> 00:35:00,473
ANDERS (over radio): In
the beginning, God created
the Heaven and the Earth.
562
00:35:01,182 --> 00:35:04,143
And God said,
"Let there be light."
563
00:35:04,602 --> 00:35:06,729
And there was light.
564
00:35:08,481 --> 00:35:11,192
And God divided the
light from the darkness
565
00:35:14,153 --> 00:35:17,115
LOVELL (over radio): And God
called the light Day
566
00:35:17,198 --> 00:35:19,659
and the darkness
he called Night.
567
00:35:21,369 --> 00:35:24,580
BORMAN (over radio): And God
said, "Let the waters under
the heaven be gathered
568
00:35:24,664 --> 00:35:26,040
together unto one place.
569
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:28,501
And let the dry land appear."
570
00:35:28,584 --> 00:35:30,086
And it was so.
571
00:35:30,169 --> 00:35:32,880
And God called
the dry land Earth.
572
00:35:35,341 --> 00:35:37,677
BORMAN (over radio):
And from the crew of
Apollo 8,
573
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,846
we close with good night
574
00:35:39,929 --> 00:35:41,347
good luck
575
00:35:41,430 --> 00:35:44,600
a merry Christmas and
God bless all of you
576
00:35:44,684 --> 00:35:47,311
all of you on the good Earth.
577
00:35:50,773 --> 00:35:53,693
LAZAR: This is Sidney
Lazar in the Rockefeller
Center New York.
578
00:35:53,776 --> 00:35:58,322
We stopped some passersby on
their way home this Christmas
Eve to ask them how they felt
579
00:35:58,406 --> 00:36:01,284
about America's most recent
accomplishment in space.
580
00:36:02,326 --> 00:36:06,455
Sir, how did you feel when
you first learned that we
had men circling the Moon?
581
00:36:07,498 --> 00:36:11,377
MAN: Well I thought it was
a wonderful accomplishment.
582
00:36:11,711 --> 00:36:16,799
I don't think there was any
alternative to our attempting
to do it before the Russians
583
00:36:17,383 --> 00:36:23,806
did both from a propaganda
purpose and also to prevent
them from using it
584
00:36:25,016 --> 00:36:28,186
as a power base in the future.
585
00:36:28,769 --> 00:36:31,856
LAZAR: A lot of
people sir, say that this
effort has cost too much.
586
00:36:31,939 --> 00:36:33,941
That the money would have been
better spent here on Earth.
587
00:36:34,025 --> 00:36:35,067
What do you think about that?
588
00:36:35,151 --> 00:36:36,402
MAN: Definitely not.
589
00:36:36,485 --> 00:36:39,280
I think it's the greatest
accomplishment that man
has ever reached so far.
590
00:36:39,363 --> 00:36:44,035
CRONKITE: There is one
positive result already from
the flight of Apollo 8, and we
591
00:36:44,118 --> 00:36:48,831
should report it to you, I
think, to keep all of history
recorded this morning.
592
00:36:49,582 --> 00:36:54,462
In London, Britain's Flat
Earth society admits now that
it's going to have to take a
593
00:36:54,545 --> 00:36:56,797
new look at things.
594
00:36:59,592 --> 00:37:03,221
BUNCHE (over TV):
The epic flight of Apollo 8
in cracking the Moon barrier
595
00:37:03,304 --> 00:37:09,727
demonstrates that man
now has the capability to
soar as high and as far as
596
00:37:10,770 --> 00:37:13,564
his dreams may project.
597
00:37:20,905 --> 00:37:27,078
โช โช
598
00:37:31,749 --> 00:37:34,794
CRONKITE (over TV): In space,
Apollo 9 and 10 tested the
manned operation of the
599
00:37:34,877 --> 00:37:36,879
entire Apollo spacecraft.
600
00:37:36,963 --> 00:37:38,506
Nine, an Earth
orbital flight,
601
00:37:38,589 --> 00:37:41,384
and ten in lunar
orbit, with the LEM
descending to within
602
00:37:41,467 --> 00:37:43,469
10 miles of the lunar surface.
603
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:48,975
We are now ready to
challenge our own technology
and land a man on the Moon.
604
00:37:51,435 --> 00:37:53,271
ROGGE: Would you like
to live on the Moon?
605
00:37:53,354 --> 00:37:54,772
BOY: Yes, I would.
606
00:37:54,855 --> 00:37:56,774
ROGGE: You would,
you'd like to be one of
the first people to go?
607
00:37:56,857 --> 00:37:58,359
BOY: Yes.
608
00:37:58,442 --> 00:38:00,403
ROGGE: How about Wade over
there, what are your comments?
609
00:38:00,486 --> 00:38:03,739
WADE: Well, I'd like to be one
of the first ones to go too.
610
00:38:04,115 --> 00:38:08,244
ROGGE: Mrs. Hubbard, I'd
like to ask you, uh, do you
think many people will be
611
00:38:08,327 --> 00:38:10,246
interested, you know, in,
being on the first colony?
612
00:38:10,329 --> 00:38:11,789
HUBBARD: I'm sure of it.
613
00:38:11,872 --> 00:38:15,876
In fact I read in the paper
today that 90,000 people have
signed up with Pan Am for the
614
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,088
first flight to the
Moon whenever it comes
and it's going to cost
615
00:38:19,171 --> 00:38:21,382
$28,000 a flight.
616
00:38:22,258 --> 00:38:24,969
And 90,000 people
unsolicited have signed up.
617
00:38:42,862 --> 00:38:45,698
โช โช
618
00:38:45,781 --> 00:38:48,034
REPORTER (off screen:
Dr. Wernher Von Braun
says the Russians will land
619
00:38:48,117 --> 00:38:50,077
their Luna 15
on the Moon by tomorrow.
620
00:38:50,161 --> 00:38:53,831
He also says it's a good
bet that there's nobody
inside the Luna 15.
621
00:38:54,457 --> 00:38:58,377
He says it could have
the ability to bring back some
Moon soil to Earth, but nobody
622
00:38:58,461 --> 00:39:00,629
knows anything about it.
623
00:39:00,713 --> 00:39:03,758
CLARK (of screen): If
the Russians scoop some
of this up automatically
624
00:39:03,841 --> 00:39:05,384
and brought it back,
625
00:39:05,468 --> 00:39:07,511
so that they retrieved
the first samples of the Moon,
626
00:39:07,595 --> 00:39:09,263
would you feel
a disappointment?
627
00:39:09,347 --> 00:39:12,266
ALDRIN:
I'm sure that all of us would.
628
00:39:12,350 --> 00:39:17,104
We'd like to return with
everything that we've set
out to do on this flight.
629
00:39:17,897 --> 00:39:19,315
SHURKIN: This is
for Mr. Armstrong.
630
00:39:19,398 --> 00:39:22,234
There's been speculation
about what the first
man on the Moon will say
631
00:39:22,318 --> 00:39:23,903
when he gets there.
632
00:39:23,986 --> 00:39:27,239
Will you prepare something
ahead of time, or will
it be prepared for you,
633
00:39:28,074 --> 00:39:30,534
or can we expect a
spontaneous exclamation?
634
00:39:31,494 --> 00:39:35,831
ARMSTRONG: Our attention
during the training period and
up until now has been focused
635
00:39:35,915 --> 00:39:38,334
on how to do the
job and how to do it best,
636
00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:42,213
and not so much
with what might be the
637
00:39:42,296 --> 00:39:45,466
emotions of the moment.
638
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,969
ARMSTRONG (off screen):
I think that would be
impossible to predict.
639
00:39:52,139 --> 00:39:55,351
REYNOLDS: The American
space engineers and
scientists designed the lunar
640
00:39:55,434 --> 00:39:59,105
module for the most delicate
part of this or any mission:
641
00:39:59,855 --> 00:40:02,525
setting men down safely
on another planet.
642
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:12,243
REYNOLDS( off screen):
It's just under 23 feet
tall and it is beautifully
643
00:40:12,326 --> 00:40:14,703
constructed for its purpose:
644
00:40:14,787 --> 00:40:17,957
to land softly on the Moon.
645
00:40:22,378 --> 00:40:24,338
ARMSTRONG (off screen):
The question was how does
the machine fly?
646
00:40:24,422 --> 00:40:29,969
And I think it does an
excellent job of actually
capturing the handling
647
00:40:30,052 --> 00:40:33,764
characteristics of the lunar
module in landing maneuver.
648
00:40:41,897 --> 00:40:45,317
LOY: If you've been
considering coming to the
Kennedy Space Center to watch
649
00:40:45,401 --> 00:40:49,196
the historic flight of
Apollo 11, you might think
twice before you leave your
650
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,949
comfortable living room and
your nice television set.
651
00:40:53,033 --> 00:40:57,163
Soon hundreds of thousands
of people will jam the
Titusville, Cocoa Beach area
652
00:40:57,246 --> 00:40:59,165
to watch this historic flight.
653
00:41:04,795 --> 00:41:06,046
CRONKITE (off screen):
Good morning!
654
00:41:06,130 --> 00:41:09,800
It's three hours and
thirty-two minutes till man
begins the greatest adventure
655
00:41:09,884 --> 00:41:11,719
in his history.
656
00:41:11,802 --> 00:41:14,555
All of that long
billion years or so.
657
00:41:19,435 --> 00:41:21,729
CRONKITE (off screen):
Because at 9:32am,
658
00:41:21,812 --> 00:41:25,316
three hours
and thirty-two minutes from
now, here, in Florida,
659
00:41:25,399 --> 00:41:27,401
the Kennedy Space Center,
660
00:41:27,485 --> 00:41:32,490
man is about to launch himself
on a trip to the Moon with the
expectation of landing there.
661
00:41:32,573 --> 00:41:34,408
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Comm Manager and Attitude.
662
00:41:34,492 --> 00:41:35,826
MAN (over radio):
Comm Manager.
663
00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:37,453
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
We got your Auto-patterns.
664
00:41:37,536 --> 00:41:38,746
MAN (over radio):
Roger, thank you.
665
00:41:38,829 --> 00:41:40,498
Have you got both
computers operating?
666
00:41:40,581 --> 00:41:44,460
Verify, go for launch.
FRO verify, go for launch?
FRO verify, go for launch.
667
00:41:45,544 --> 00:41:48,005
KING (off screen): The
estimate is more than a
million persons are in the
668
00:41:48,088 --> 00:41:53,010
immediate area in
Brevard County
to watch the launch.
669
00:41:53,093 --> 00:41:55,012
All still go at this time.
670
00:41:55,095 --> 00:41:57,640
Neil Armstrong
reported back when he
received the good wishes,
671
00:41:57,723 --> 00:42:00,100
"Thank you very much. We
know it will be a good flight."
672
00:42:00,184 --> 00:42:01,852
MAN (over radio):
Verify, go for launch.
673
00:42:01,936 --> 00:42:04,188
Verify, go for launch.
Verify, go for launch.
674
00:42:04,271 --> 00:42:05,814
SRO verified, go for launch.
675
00:42:05,898 --> 00:42:08,025
FRO verified, go for launch?
676
00:42:08,108 --> 00:42:09,902
LOM verified, go for launch.
677
00:42:09,985 --> 00:42:14,698
REPORTER (over radio):
We're down to 12, 11, 10, 9,
ignition sequence start,
678
00:42:15,324 --> 00:42:16,784
we should see fire.
679
00:42:16,867 --> 00:42:19,411
Four, three, two, one.
680
00:42:20,621 --> 00:42:22,206
MAN (over radio):
Roger, team liftoff.
681
00:42:22,289 --> 00:42:24,833
Liftoff. Roger liftoff.
682
00:42:25,709 --> 00:42:27,920
REPORTER (over radio):
And we have liftoff!
683
00:42:29,255 --> 00:42:31,674
Now the huge tail is
passing the tower!
684
00:42:34,885 --> 00:42:36,220
She's rising!
685
00:42:36,303 --> 00:42:39,723
She's yawing now to clear
the tower, that slight yaw.
686
00:42:39,807 --> 00:42:40,849
She's lifting up.
687
00:42:40,933 --> 00:42:43,561
We have tower clear.
We have tower clear.
688
00:42:43,644 --> 00:42:45,688
We're beginning to feel
the first thunderous roar!
689
00:42:46,772 --> 00:42:50,943
I can see her rising now,
as she's going up straight
into the roll program,
690
00:42:51,026 --> 00:42:52,820
which she should be completing.
691
00:42:52,903 --> 00:42:56,323
We should expect to hear
from the astronauts as this
spit of land is beginning
692
00:42:56,407 --> 00:42:58,659
to shake with the power of it.
693
00:42:58,742 --> 00:43:01,745
The power of it as it goes
and splits the clouds.
694
00:43:07,668 --> 00:43:10,129
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
We've got skirt SEP.
695
00:43:10,212 --> 00:43:12,715
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Roger, we confirm skirt SEP.
696
00:43:12,798 --> 00:43:16,594
REPORTER (over radio):
Those are the men in
space, bound for the Moon.
697
00:43:16,969 --> 00:43:18,554
COLLINS (over radio):
Houston. Apollo 11.
698
00:43:18,637 --> 00:43:21,724
The Saturn gave us
a magnificent ride.
699
00:43:21,807 --> 00:43:23,434
CAPCOM (over radio):
Roger, 11.
700
00:43:23,517 --> 00:43:26,687
We'll pass that on and
certainly looks like you're
well on your way now.
701
00:43:36,864 --> 00:43:38,616
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Well, we didn't have much time,
702
00:43:38,699 --> 00:43:41,201
Houston, to talk to
you about our views out
703
00:43:41,285 --> 00:43:44,330
the window when we were
preparing for LEM injection.
704
00:43:44,913 --> 00:43:51,086
But up to that time, we had
the entire northern part
of the lighted hemisphere
705
00:43:51,837 --> 00:43:58,260
visible, including North
America, North Atlantic, and
Europe and Northern Africa.
706
00:44:00,971 --> 00:44:03,849
Most of the
United States was clear.
707
00:44:04,475 --> 00:44:10,064
REPORTER: Now, I understand
that Neil, umpteen miles away,
predicted that our showers
708
00:44:10,564 --> 00:44:12,524
here would end in
just a short while.
709
00:44:12,608 --> 00:44:14,234
What'd you think of that?
710
00:44:14,318 --> 00:44:16,820
JAN: I'd say that was
about normal for him.
711
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:18,405
REPORTER (off screen): Normal?
712
00:44:18,489 --> 00:44:19,865
JAN: That's correct.
713
00:44:19,948 --> 00:44:21,659
REPORTER (off screen):
You mean, he always does
something like this?
714
00:44:21,742 --> 00:44:23,827
JAN: Yes. He usually wins.
715
00:44:23,911 --> 00:44:28,040
REPORTER (off screen):
What kind of plans do you have
for Neil when he gets back?
716
00:44:28,582 --> 00:44:32,336
A quiet outing or what?
717
00:44:32,419 --> 00:44:35,214
JAN: We haven't
made any plans yet.
718
00:44:37,508 --> 00:44:40,302
JAN (off screen):
They have to get back.
719
00:44:42,137 --> 00:44:43,514
CAPCOM (over radio):
Apollo 11, this is Houston.
720
00:44:43,597 --> 00:44:47,935
If you're interested
in the morning news,
I've got a summary here.
721
00:44:48,602 --> 00:44:51,146
Britain's big Jordel Bank
radio telescope
722
00:44:51,230 --> 00:44:54,316
stopped receiving signals from
the Soviet Union's
723
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,654
unmanned Moon shot
at 5:49 EDT today.
724
00:44:59,697 --> 00:45:01,740
A spokesman said that it
appeared that the
725
00:45:01,824 --> 00:45:07,246
Luna 15 space ship, quote,
"has gone beyond the Moon,"
unquote.
726
00:45:09,081 --> 00:45:11,125
PARK: Tell me.
What do you think about
the space program?
727
00:45:11,208 --> 00:45:14,044
GIRL: Well, I'm real
excited about it and I think
I can speak for most teenagers
728
00:45:14,128 --> 00:45:17,131
in saying that we are
all excited about it,
'cause just about everyone
729
00:45:17,214 --> 00:45:19,967
I've talked to is excited.
730
00:45:20,592 --> 00:45:23,470
Just the other day, Judy
and I were talking to two
boys, and they said what did
731
00:45:23,554 --> 00:45:26,974
they think we'd probably
do when we actually saw
someone walking on the moon?
732
00:45:27,558 --> 00:45:28,892
And I said, "I don't know.
733
00:45:28,976 --> 00:45:31,937
Maybe I, maybe we'll get
up and just scream or maybe
just it'll be so exciting,
734
00:45:32,020 --> 00:45:35,232
or maybe we'll just cry."
735
00:45:43,615 --> 00:45:45,117
PA OFFICER (over radio):
This is Apollo control.
736
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,495
We're now six minutes,
eight seconds from ignition.
737
00:45:49,121 --> 00:45:50,414
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Houston,
738
00:45:50,497 --> 00:45:51,790
you're looking
good for separation.
739
00:45:51,874 --> 00:45:55,669
You're a go for separation,
Columbia. Over.
740
00:45:57,171 --> 00:45:59,423
COLLINS (over radio):
You cats take it easy
on the lunar surface
741
00:45:59,506 --> 00:46:02,092
If I hear you huffing and
puffing I'm going to start
bitching at you.
742
00:46:02,718 --> 00:46:04,845
ALDRIN (over radio):
Okay Mike.
743
00:46:23,489 --> 00:46:26,033
WARD (over radio):
It's grown quite quiet
here in mission control.
744
00:46:26,116 --> 00:46:27,326
A few moments ago,
745
00:46:27,409 --> 00:46:30,829
flight director
Gene Kranz requested
that everyone sit down,
746
00:46:31,580 --> 00:46:35,292
get prepared for events
that are coming, and
he closed with the remark,
747
00:46:35,375 --> 00:46:37,377
"Good luck to all of you."
748
00:46:39,630 --> 00:46:44,760
DUKE (over radio):
4-0-0-0-0-0-1.
749
00:46:45,260 --> 00:46:49,598
0-7-1-1-3-0-0-0.
750
00:46:51,058 --> 00:46:53,352
No PDI plus 12.
751
00:47:02,319 --> 00:47:04,905
ALDRIN (over radio):
Got the Earth straight
out our front window.
752
00:47:06,031 --> 00:47:08,200
(alarm)
753
00:47:09,535 --> 00:47:11,245
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Program alarm.
754
00:47:11,954 --> 00:47:15,582
Houston, you're
looking at our Delta-H.
755
00:47:17,417 --> 00:47:19,795
1202; 1202.
756
00:47:30,806 --> 00:47:32,724
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
12, 1202 alarm.
757
00:47:33,183 --> 00:47:35,227
1202. Standby.
758
00:47:35,310 --> 00:47:36,728
1202, 1202 alarm.
759
00:47:36,812 --> 00:47:38,188
Looks like it's converging.
760
00:47:38,272 --> 00:47:40,524
1202. What's that?
12, 1202 alarm.
761
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:43,986
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Give us a reading on the
1202 program alarm.
762
00:47:46,613 --> 00:47:48,156
HOUSTON (over radio):
It's executive overflow.
763
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:50,284
If it does not occur again,
we're fine.
764
00:47:50,367 --> 00:47:51,910
MAN (over radio): Yeah,
it's the same thing we had.
765
00:47:51,994 --> 00:47:53,287
It had not occurred again.
Okay. We're go.
766
00:47:53,370 --> 00:47:55,330
REID (off screen):
They got a momentary
alarm on their system.
767
00:47:55,414 --> 00:47:56,874
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
We're go on that alarm.
768
00:47:56,957 --> 00:47:58,333
We're go.
Same type. We're go.
769
00:47:58,417 --> 00:47:59,668
We're go on that, Flight.
770
00:47:59,751 --> 00:48:01,128
KRANZ (over radio):
We're go on that alarm?
771
00:48:01,211 --> 00:48:02,838
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
It's, if it doesn't
reoccur we'll be go.
772
00:48:02,921 --> 00:48:04,464
He's taking it to Delta-H now.
773
00:48:04,548 --> 00:48:07,301
DUKE (over radio):
Eagle, Houston you are
Go for landing, over.
774
00:48:07,676 --> 00:48:10,095
ALDRIN (over radio):
Roger, understand.
Go for landing. 3,000 feet.
775
00:48:11,805 --> 00:48:13,265
ROWAN (off screen):
Coming up on a point,
776
00:48:13,348 --> 00:48:17,144
which is called appropriately
enough "last ridge,"
777
00:48:18,228 --> 00:48:22,441
a 300-foot high ridge
directly beneath them.
778
00:48:25,777 --> 00:48:27,654
BERGMAN (over TV):
There are reasons
to be conservative
779
00:48:27,738 --> 00:48:30,657
there are many,
very many new things that
are happening in this flight.
780
00:48:30,741 --> 00:48:33,619
Very many new things that have
never been attempted before.
781
00:48:33,702 --> 00:48:36,538
The descent, the landing.
782
00:48:36,622 --> 00:48:41,376
There are big dangers
involved despite the best
our technology can do and our
783
00:48:41,460 --> 00:48:44,046
technology does do very well.
784
00:48:44,463 --> 00:48:47,382
ROWAN: They have 70 seconds
in which to re-designate
the landing site.
785
00:48:47,466 --> 00:48:49,718
So, take a good look at it
now if they want to change it.
786
00:48:49,801 --> 00:48:51,678
ALDRIN (over radio):
Alpha says we're go.
Altitude 9,200 feet.
787
00:48:51,762 --> 00:48:54,056
MISSION CONTROL
8-30. You're looking great.
788
00:48:54,139 --> 00:48:55,766
ALDRIN (over radio): We're
now in the approach phase.
789
00:48:55,849 --> 00:48:57,142
Everything looking good.
790
00:48:57,225 --> 00:49:01,688
REPORTER (off screen):
Just a little more than 100
miles per hour descent rate.
791
00:49:01,772 --> 00:49:05,108
They should be within five
miles of their landing point.
792
00:49:05,525 --> 00:49:09,112
They should be getting
a good look at it now.
793
00:49:10,030 --> 00:49:10,948
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
We're descending at
794
00:49:11,031 --> 00:49:13,158
27 feet per second,

Vertical velocity, 359 feet.
802
00:49:38,392 --> 00:49:40,143
KRANZ (over radio): Okay.
The only caveat from
now on will be fuel.
803
00:49:40,227 --> 00:49:41,895
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Low level.
804
00:49:41,979 --> 00:49:43,313

KRANZ (over radio):75 feet
looking good down a half.
814
00:50:09,131 --> 00:50:10,966
KRANZ (over radio):
How's our margin looking, Bob?
815
00:50:11,049 --> 00:50:12,968
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
It looks okay,
we've got 4-1/2.

818
00:50:18,432 --> 00:50:20,767
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Okay, how's the fuel?
819
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,020
ALDRIN (over radio):
Wait just a minute.
820
00:50:23,103 --> 00:50:25,772
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Okay. Here's a...
Looks like a good area here.
821
00:50:25,856 --> 00:50:26,982
ALDRIN (over radio): I
got the shadow out there.
822
00:50:27,315 --> 00:50:28,692
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Standby for 30.
823
00:50:29,151 --> 00:50:31,028
ALDRIN (over radio):
Forward. Forward.
824
00:50:31,361 --> 00:50:32,654
KRANZ (over radio):
30, 30 seconds.
825
00:50:32,738 --> 00:50:34,322
ALDRIN (over radio): Good.
826
00:50:34,406 --> 00:50:37,617
40 feet down, 2 1/2.
Picking up some dust.
827
00:50:38,827 --> 00:50:41,371
30 feet, 2 1/2 down.
Faint shadow.
828
00:50:47,252 --> 00:50:49,963
ALDRIN (over radio):
4 forward. 4 forward.
829
00:50:50,047 --> 00:50:51,631
Drifting to the
right a little.
830
00:50:51,715 --> 00:50:53,175
20 feet, down a half;
831
00:50:53,258 --> 00:50:55,302
Drifting forward
just a little bit.
832
00:50:55,385 --> 00:50:59,723
That's good. Okay.
833
00:51:01,224 --> 00:51:03,518
ALDRIN (over radio):
Contact light.
834
00:51:04,227 --> 00:51:05,771
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Shutdown.
835
00:51:07,731 --> 00:51:09,941
ALDRIN (over radio):
Okay. Engine stop.
836
00:51:10,859 --> 00:51:13,236
ACA out of Detent.
837
00:51:15,989 --> 00:51:17,532
ALDRIN (over radio):
Mode control, both auto.
838
00:51:17,616 --> 00:51:19,326
Descent Engine
Command Override, off.
839
00:51:19,409 --> 00:51:21,745
Engine arm, off.
413 is in.
840
00:51:26,917 --> 00:51:28,502
DUKE (over radio):
We've had shut down.
841
00:51:28,585 --> 00:51:30,587
We copy you down, Eagle.
842
00:51:30,670 --> 00:51:33,590
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Okay, keep the chatter
down in this room!
843
00:51:34,257 --> 00:51:37,511
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Houston.
Tranquility Base here.
844
00:51:37,594 --> 00:51:39,221
The eagle has landed.
845
00:51:40,597 --> 00:51:43,308
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Roger, Tranquility.
We copy you on the ground.
846
00:51:43,767 --> 00:51:45,519
You've got a bunch of
guys about to turn blue.
847
00:51:45,602 --> 00:51:47,521
We're breathing again.
Thanks a lot.
848
00:51:51,066 --> 00:51:52,526
ALDRIN(over radio):
Thank you.
849
00:51:54,027 --> 00:51:55,487
(applause)
850
00:51:55,987 --> 00:51:57,697
CRONKITE (off screen):
Wally, say something.
I'm speechless.
851
00:51:57,781 --> 00:52:00,200
SCHIRRA (off screen):
I'm just trying to
hold on to my breath.
852
00:52:00,283 --> 00:52:02,536
That is really something.
853
00:52:02,619 --> 00:52:04,162
CRONKITE: Phew, boy.
854
00:52:04,246 --> 00:52:06,414
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Okay, we're going to
be busy for a minute.
855
00:52:06,748 --> 00:52:08,625
(radio chatter)
856
00:52:17,926 --> 00:52:19,970
BERGMAN (off screen):
Everyone wondered what
Neil Armstrong's
857
00:52:20,053 --> 00:52:22,848
first words would be:
"This is Tranquility Base."
858
00:52:23,473 --> 00:52:25,308
ALDRIN( over radio):
Very smooth touchdown.
859
00:52:26,726 --> 00:52:30,313
REPORTER (off screen):
Very smooth touchdown.
I don't believe it yet.
860
00:52:32,899 --> 00:52:35,777
Tranquility base.
And the Eagle has landed.
861
00:52:36,903 --> 00:52:38,905
ALDRIN (over radio):
Master arm. On.
Take care of the descent vent.
862
00:52:38,989 --> 00:52:40,657
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Master arm coming on.
863
00:52:40,740 --> 00:52:41,950
ALDRIN (over radio):
I'll get the pressure check.
864
00:52:42,033 --> 00:52:43,451
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Okay.
865
00:52:45,370 --> 00:52:47,706
REPORTER (off screen):
They have just a very few
seconds here to decide whether
866
00:52:47,789 --> 00:52:51,209
they want to stay or whether
they want to leave right away.
867
00:53:00,051 --> 00:53:01,511
KRANZ (over radio): Okay, T-1.
Stay, no stay. Retro.
868
00:53:01,595 --> 00:53:02,929
MAN (over radio): Stay!
869
00:53:03,013 --> 00:53:04,431
KRANZ (over radio): Fido.
MAN (over radio): Stay!
870
00:53:04,514 --> 00:53:05,724
KRANZ (over radio): Guidance.
GUIDANCE (over radio): Stay!
871
00:53:05,807 --> 00:53:06,933
KRANZ (over radio): Control.
CONTROL (over radio): Stay!
872
00:53:07,017 --> 00:53:08,268
KRANZ (over radio): Tel-com.
MAN (over radio): Stay!
873
00:53:08,351 --> 00:53:09,394
KRANZ (over radio): Gen-C.
MAN (over radio): Stay!
874
00:53:09,477 --> 00:53:10,437
KRANZ (over radio): E-Com.
MAN (over radio): Stay!
875
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:11,855
KRANZ (over radio): Surgeon.
SURGEON (over radio): Stay!
876
00:53:11,938 --> 00:53:14,274
KRANZ (over radio):
Capcom, we're stay for T-1.
877
00:53:14,357 --> 00:53:18,236
STRAWSER (off screen): We
are now 106 hours, 27 minutes
into the mission of Apollo 11.
878
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,906
And some 15 minutes
ago from Tranquility Base,
879
00:53:20,989 --> 00:53:22,991
the lunar module resting
on the Moon's surface,
880
00:53:23,074 --> 00:53:25,410
Commander Neil Armstrong
radioed he was beginning
881
00:53:25,493 --> 00:53:27,245
preparations for EVA.
882
00:53:27,871 --> 00:53:31,333
EVA standing
for Extravehicular Activity,
or to put it more simply,
883
00:53:31,416 --> 00:53:33,335
the moonwalk.
884
00:53:34,002 --> 00:53:35,921
REPORTER (off screen):
Southern Californians do just
about everything in their
885
00:53:36,004 --> 00:53:38,215
automobiles,
even go to church,
886
00:53:38,590 --> 00:53:40,842
park in the parking lot,
and listen to the sermon
887
00:53:40,926 --> 00:53:42,886
sitting in their car.
888
00:53:42,969 --> 00:53:45,847
This is Southern California's
first drive-in church.
889
00:53:46,598 --> 00:53:49,768
MINISTER: This is a
very special day for you
and for all of mankind.
890
00:53:50,894 --> 00:53:55,398
For you are permitting
man to conquer space and
on this very day, to plant
891
00:53:55,482 --> 00:53:58,485
his footsteps on the Moon.
892
00:53:58,818 --> 00:54:01,446
REYNOLDS (over TV):
Just about everybody in the
world you might think is
893
00:54:01,529 --> 00:54:03,698
watching this
event on television.
894
00:54:03,782 --> 00:54:06,993
It is believed that half
a billion have watched the
touchdown of the men on the
895
00:54:07,077 --> 00:54:11,331
Moon, and at least
that many of course will be
around to see this moonwalk.
896
00:54:11,790 --> 00:54:15,710
Here is Central Park
in New York where it's
raining on the people who
897
00:54:15,794 --> 00:54:17,295
have assembled for,
898
00:54:17,379 --> 00:54:19,214
well, I guess you
would call it a Moon-in.
899
00:54:19,297 --> 00:54:21,925
Everybody gathers there and
just looks up at the moon.
900
00:54:22,008 --> 00:54:25,262
And in perhaps
less than an hour or so,
they might actually see
901
00:54:25,345 --> 00:54:27,722
the men walking on the Moon
they're looking at.
902
00:54:31,935 --> 00:54:33,353
REPORTER (off screen):
Strange.
903
00:54:33,436 --> 00:54:37,274
All of this, this lack
of sound is almost
dramatic, too, Steve.
904
00:54:37,357 --> 00:54:39,317
MAN (over radio):
Cabin pressure at point two.
905
00:54:40,151 --> 00:54:42,028
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
The hatch is coming open.
906
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,783
ALDRIN (over radio): Okay,
you're not quite squared away.
907
00:54:46,866 --> 00:54:49,828
Hold her.
Pull right a little.
908
00:54:50,620 --> 00:54:53,540
CRONKITE (off screen):
Now, Aldrin's directing him
through the hatch opening.
909
00:54:54,541 --> 00:54:57,919
He can't see where he's going.
He's backing out of the hatch.
910
00:54:58,253 --> 00:55:01,548
BURKE (over TV): Armstrong
is out on the porch.
911
00:55:01,631 --> 00:55:05,969
Any minute now, he should
release the controls that
turns on the television.
912
00:55:07,095 --> 00:55:09,389
BURKE (over TV):
Any minute now, we
should see pictures.
913
00:55:11,683 --> 00:55:13,143
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Did you get some...
914
00:55:13,226 --> 00:55:14,728
ALDRIN (over radio):
I'm going to pull it now.
915
00:55:14,811 --> 00:55:17,939
BURKE (over TV): Here it goes.
Here goes the mission with
the television camera on it.
916
00:55:19,399 --> 00:55:20,567
ALDRIN (over radio): Roger.
917
00:55:26,406 --> 00:55:30,744
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
We're getting a picture on
the TV.
918
00:55:38,126 --> 00:55:41,713
(cheering and applause)
919
00:55:48,345 --> 00:55:50,305
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
There's a great deal of
contrast in it and
920
00:55:50,388 --> 00:55:53,141
currently it's
upside down on our monitor,
921
00:55:53,224 --> 00:55:56,019
but we can make
out a fair amount of detail.
922
00:55:56,478 --> 00:55:59,689
BURKE (off screen):
There is Armstrong.
You can see him moving.
923
00:56:00,023 --> 00:56:01,691
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Okay, Neil.
924
00:56:01,775 --> 00:56:04,152
We can see you coming
down the ladder now.
925
00:56:05,695 --> 00:56:06,863
SCHIRRA (off screen):
There's a foot going down.
926
00:56:06,946 --> 00:56:13,078
CRONKITE (off screen):
There he is. There's a foot
coming down the steps.
927
00:56:13,495 --> 00:56:14,871
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Okay, I just checked
928
00:56:14,954 --> 00:56:18,875
getting back up to that
first step Buzz. It's...
929
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,254
The strut isn't
collapsed too far, but
930
00:56:23,338 --> 00:56:26,633
it's adequate to get back up.
931
00:56:27,550 --> 00:56:29,928
I'm going to
step off the LM now.
932
00:56:35,683 --> 00:56:41,856
โช โช
933
00:56:52,534 --> 00:56:55,620
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
That's one small step
for man...
934
00:56:58,540 --> 00:57:01,000
one giant leap for mankind.
935
00:57:02,502 --> 00:57:05,255
CRONKITE (off screen):
Armstrong is standing on
the surface of the moon.
936
00:57:05,338 --> 00:57:09,509
38-year-old American
937
00:57:13,638 --> 00:57:17,308
on this July 20th, 1969.
938
00:57:19,978 --> 00:57:25,608
(cheering and applause)
939
00:57:28,027 --> 00:57:29,362
WOMAN (off screen):
He's on the Moon!
940
00:57:29,446 --> 00:57:31,573
Look at him walking around.
941
00:57:32,699 --> 00:57:36,327
PA OFFICER (over radio):
Unofficial time on the
first step: 1:09:24:20.
942
00:57:37,370 --> 00:57:39,914
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
There seems to be no
difficulty in moving around
943
00:57:39,998 --> 00:57:42,000
as we suspected.
944
00:57:42,083 --> 00:57:46,713
It's even perhaps
easier than the
simulations of one-sixth G
945
00:57:46,796 --> 00:57:51,759
that we
performed in the various
simulations on the ground.
946
00:57:55,847 --> 00:57:59,476
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
I'll step out and take some of
my first pictures here.
947
00:58:02,645 --> 00:58:04,939
It has a stark
beauty all its own.
948
00:58:05,023 --> 00:58:08,860
It's like much of the high
desert of the United States.
949
00:58:09,486 --> 00:58:12,238
It's different, but
it's very pretty out here.
950
00:58:13,114 --> 00:58:15,366
ALDRIN (over radio):
Oh, that looks beautiful
from here, Neil.
951
00:58:18,036 --> 00:58:20,788
ALDRIN (over radio):
Okay. Are you ready
for me to come out?
952
00:58:21,331 --> 00:58:24,250
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
He's running about 1400-BTU.
Clear?
953
00:58:24,334 --> 00:58:26,294
ALDRIN (over radio):
Are you ready?
954
00:58:26,377 --> 00:58:28,546
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
All set.
955
00:58:28,630 --> 00:58:31,799
Your toes are about
to come over the sill.
956
00:58:34,260 --> 00:58:36,262
Okay. Now drop your
PLSS down.
957
00:58:36,346 --> 00:58:37,722
There you go;
you're clear.
958
00:58:37,805 --> 00:58:40,850
You've got three more
steps and then a long one.
959
00:58:42,769 --> 00:58:45,897
ALDRIN (over radio):
Okay. I'm going to leave
the one foot up there and...
960
00:58:46,481 --> 00:58:48,900
both hands down to
about the fourth rung up.
961

962
00:59:11,589 --> 00:59:13,675
ALDRIN (over radio):
Beautiful view!
963
00:59:17,929 --> 00:59:21,641
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Isn't that something?
Magnificent sight out here.
964
00:59:23,268 --> 00:59:25,895
ALDRIN (over radio):
Magnificent desolation.
965
00:59:28,273 --> 00:59:30,567
Neil is now
unveiling the plaque.
966
00:59:33,278 --> 00:59:35,572
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Tell me if you've got a
picture Houston.
967
00:59:36,197 --> 00:59:37,991
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
We've got a beautiful picture,
Neil, beautiful.
968
00:59:38,866 --> 00:59:40,201
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
Underneath it says:
969
00:59:40,285 --> 00:59:45,123
"Here men from planet Earth
first set foot upon the Moon,
970
00:59:45,206 --> 00:59:48,793
July 1969, A.D.
971
00:59:50,295 --> 00:59:52,505
We came in peace
for all mankind."
972
00:59:53,923 --> 00:59:58,177
It has the crew
members' signatures
and the signature of the
973
00:59:58,261 --> 01:00:00,763
President of
the United States.
974
01:00:04,851 --> 01:00:07,562
CAPCOM (over radio):
Tranquility Base,
this is Houston.
975
01:00:07,645 --> 01:00:09,939
Could we get both
of you on the camera
for a minute, please?
976
01:00:10,940 --> 01:00:12,150
SECRETARY (over phone):
Hello?
977
01:00:12,233 --> 01:00:13,318
They're on there now?
978
01:00:13,401 --> 01:00:14,611
MAN (over phone):
They're on the line right now.
979
01:00:14,694 --> 01:00:16,070
SECRETARY (over phone):
Okay, I'll put the
President right on.
980
01:00:16,154 --> 01:00:18,489
MAN (over phone): Alright.
Gentlemen, he's
coming on the line.
981
01:00:18,823 --> 01:00:20,617
CAPCOM (over radio):
Neil and Buzz...
982
01:00:20,700 --> 01:00:24,996
The President of the United
States is in his office now
and would like to say a few
983
01:00:25,079 --> 01:00:26,789
words to you. Over.
984
01:00:32,170 --> 01:00:34,213
ARMSTRONG (over radio):
That would bean honor.
985
01:00:35,715 --> 01:00:38,760
(ringing)
986
01:00:38,843 --> 01:00:40,178
NIXON (over phone): Hello?
987
01:00:40,261 --> 01:00:42,013
SECRETARY (over phone):
We're ready with
the astronauts, sir.
988
01:00:42,096 --> 01:00:43,222
NIXON (over phone): Yes.
989
01:00:43,306 --> 01:00:44,807
SECRETARY (over phone):
There you are.
990
01:00:44,891 --> 01:00:46,309
NIXON (over phone):
Hello, Neil and Buzz.
991
01:00:46,392 --> 01:00:49,937
I'm talking to you by
telephone from the Oval
Room at the White House.
992
01:00:51,439 --> 01:00:56,402
I just can't tell you how proud
we all are of what you,
for every American
993
01:00:56,486 --> 01:01:00,490
this has to be the proudest
day of our lives.
994
01:01:01,824 --> 01:01:04,702
For one priceless moment,
995
01:01:04,786 --> 01:01:10,458
in the whole history of
man, all the people on
this Earth are truly one,
996
01:01:12,543 --> 01:01:18,383
one in their pride in what
you have done, and one in
our prayers that you will
997
01:01:18,466 --> 01:01:20,551
return safely to Earth.
998

01:01:56,587 --> 01:01:58,589
DRUMMOND (over radio):
Earlier this afternoon
here in Chicago,
1000
01:01:58,673 --> 01:02:01,884
the astronauts were made
honorary citizens of Chicago.
1001
01:02:02,260 --> 01:02:06,139
There's no question about it,
Chicago went all out for the
Apollo 11 astronauts.
1002
01:02:06,514 --> 01:02:09,183
Veterans here in
the city have seen many
parades, many occasions.
1003
01:02:09,267 --> 01:02:13,354
They say that the enthusiasm
that was shown by the public
on this occasion was by far
1004
01:02:13,438 --> 01:02:16,524
the most that they
have seen in years.
1005
01:02:21,112 --> 01:02:24,157
DANCY (over TV): The
Moon rocks, the most
valuable cargo in history,
1006
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:25,908
arrived under heavy guard.
1007
01:02:25,992 --> 01:02:28,911
NASA officials were hard
pressed to put a price on
them and finally just
1008
01:02:28,995 --> 01:02:30,747
said they were priceless.
1009
01:02:30,830 --> 01:02:35,168
For three months, 142
investigators all over the
world will study the rocks.
1010
01:02:35,918 --> 01:02:39,213
There has never been
another event like it in
the history of science.
1011
01:02:45,553 --> 01:02:47,889
BEUTEL (over TV):
Like so many people
around the world,
1012
01:02:47,972 --> 01:02:49,932
there is enthusiasm for
the most important feat
1013
01:02:50,016 --> 01:02:52,351
of exploration in the
history of the world.
1014
01:02:52,435 --> 01:02:55,730
A feat of exploration
that even five years ago
was almost inconceivable.
1015
01:02:56,397 --> 01:02:59,692
On the other hand, there's
the question that everyone
asks and nobody, so far,
1016
01:02:59,776 --> 01:03:01,360
is able to answer.
1017
01:03:01,444 --> 01:03:02,820
Is it worth it all?
1018
01:03:02,904 --> 01:03:06,032
Could it all have been
spent a little bit
better here on Earth?
1019
01:03:11,788 --> 01:03:15,583
ROGGE: This is Bette Rogge
recording for Channel 7's
total news at the Apollo news
1020
01:03:15,666 --> 01:03:17,668
center in Cocoa
Beach, Florida.
1021
01:03:17,752 --> 01:03:20,755
I'd like for you to meet
one of the ladies involved
in the space program,
1022
01:03:20,838 --> 01:03:22,048
Mrs. Mary Driver.
1023
01:03:22,131 --> 01:03:23,549
She's in personnel.
1024
01:03:23,633 --> 01:03:26,886
Mary tell us, how important
are the women in this program?
1025
01:03:27,678 --> 01:03:30,723
DRIVER: I think the
women are very important
in the space program.
1026
01:03:30,807 --> 01:03:36,437
They're involved in almost
all phases from the clerical,
1027
01:03:37,063 --> 01:03:38,648
professional administrative.
1028
01:03:38,731 --> 01:03:41,484
We even have quite a
few women engineers.
1029
01:03:44,362 --> 01:03:46,948
NORTHCUTT:
I think the first mission
that I worked on, Apollo 8,
1030
01:03:47,031 --> 01:03:50,910
I got a little nervous.
Mainly it was being keyed up.
You were excited.
1031
01:03:52,203 --> 01:03:54,622
And everyone was very excited.
1032
01:03:54,705 --> 01:03:57,208
But I think that, uh, you
are capable of functioning,
1033
01:03:57,291 --> 01:04:01,254
we practice so much, so many
times that the real missions
1034
01:04:01,337 --> 01:04:04,048
almost seem easy compared
to some of the simulations.
1035
01:04:06,342 --> 01:04:09,887
REPORTER (off screen):
How does it feel to work
among so many men in a world
1036
01:04:09,971 --> 01:04:12,431
that is dominated
by men, isn't it?
1037
01:04:13,349 --> 01:04:16,352
NORTHCUTT:
Well, it's actually
dominated by computers,
1038
01:04:16,435 --> 01:04:18,688
and by machinery as a whole.
1039
01:04:19,438 --> 01:04:23,150
KING (off screen): 10, 9,
8 ignition sequence start,
1040
01:04:23,609 --> 01:04:29,282
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
1041
01:04:29,782 --> 01:04:33,369
All engines running.
Commence liftoff.
We have liftoff.
1042
01:04:33,452 --> 01:04:36,414
11:22 AM Eastern
Standard Time.
1043
01:04:46,757 --> 01:04:48,885
REPORTER (over radio):
It's all happened before,
1044
01:04:48,968 --> 01:04:51,512
so why get
excited this time?
1045
01:04:51,596 --> 01:04:54,390
For Apollo 11,
everything stopped.
1046
01:04:55,474 --> 01:04:58,561
Apollo 12, far less interest.
1047
01:04:59,437 --> 01:05:04,150
So easily does the human
mind accept the impossible,
a man on the Moon.
1048
01:05:05,943 --> 01:05:07,778
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
TV's starting to come in.
1049
01:05:07,862 --> 01:05:11,073
BURKE (over TV):
The flight plan calls for
Al Bean to actually start
1050
01:05:11,157 --> 01:05:12,950
getting the camera away,
1051
01:05:13,034 --> 01:05:14,744
pulling it out to a point where
we can see better pictures.
1052
01:05:14,827 --> 01:05:16,621
And there, there he
goes he's doing it now.
1053
01:05:17,330 --> 01:05:19,832
CONRAD (over radio):
Where, oh where, is Earth?
1054
01:05:20,750 --> 01:05:22,960
Pointing toward the Sun.
That's bad.
1055
01:05:23,044 --> 01:05:24,879
Point it here a minute.
1056
01:05:26,339 --> 01:05:27,965
CAPCOM (over radio):
Al, we have a pretty
bright image on that TV.
1057
01:05:28,049 --> 01:05:30,217
Could you either
move or stop it down?
1058
01:05:30,843 --> 01:05:32,970
BEAN (over radio):
That may do it
right there, Houston.
1059
01:05:33,804 --> 01:05:35,222
CAPCOM (over radio):
Al, we haven't seen
any change at all.
1060
01:05:35,306 --> 01:05:38,142
Why don't you go
ahead and take and put your
glove in front of the lens,
1061
01:05:38,225 --> 01:05:39,226
but not over it,
1062
01:05:39,310 --> 01:05:41,479
to see whether we can
get any change at all?
1063
01:05:41,938 --> 01:05:44,815
REPORTER: But for how well
things went this morning,
there are a few too-bads.
1064
01:05:45,316 --> 01:05:48,736
Too bad, for instance, that
the television camera wasn't
working, particularly since
1065
01:05:48,819 --> 01:05:51,781
the engineers have
now figured out a way that
it could have been repaired,
1066
01:05:51,864 --> 01:05:53,324
at least partially.
1067
01:05:53,950 --> 01:05:56,494
HOPE: It's too bad, really,
about that TV camera
conking out on the Moon,
1068
01:05:56,577 --> 01:05:57,995
but it's going
to work out alright.
1069
01:05:58,079 --> 01:05:59,956
It's still under warranty.
1070
01:06:04,293 --> 01:06:06,921
And there was nothing
NASA could do about it,
that time at night it's
1071
01:06:07,004 --> 01:06:09,548
hard to find a TV
repairman who makes house calls.
1072
01:06:17,848 --> 01:06:21,185
BRINKLEY (over TV):
Unemployment rose in March
faster than any time in
1073
01:06:21,268 --> 01:06:26,273
10 years, and
now 4.4% of the country's
workforce is out of work.
1074
01:06:27,441 --> 01:06:30,736
Some of the new unemployment
is in the automobile industry,
because the cars aren't
1075
01:06:30,820 --> 01:06:33,823
selling too well and
in the space industries,
1076
01:06:33,906 --> 01:06:35,866
because after the
first Moon landing,
1077
01:06:35,950 --> 01:06:38,327
the money was cut back.
1078
01:06:38,411 --> 01:06:40,788
GUIDE: Over towards your left
you'll notice two of these.
1079
01:06:40,871 --> 01:06:43,624
REPORTER (off screen): Guided
tours of the Michoud rocket
assembly plant in New Orleans
1080
01:06:43,708 --> 01:06:45,209
may soon come to an end.
1081
01:06:45,292 --> 01:06:47,878
Because of the big cutback
in the space program,
1082
01:06:47,962 --> 01:06:50,214
the plant is almost
out of business.
1083
01:06:50,631 --> 01:06:54,176
GUIDE (off screen):
During 1965, our total
employment was 12,000.
1084
01:06:54,260 --> 01:06:57,430
We are presently
working with 2,600.
1085
01:06:58,848 --> 01:07:01,392
CHANCELLOR (off screen):
You've now been in the space
program for some time.
1086
01:07:01,475 --> 01:07:05,021
Do you think that there's as
much popular support for the
space program in the country
1087
01:07:05,104 --> 01:07:07,440
today as there was, say,
just a few years ago?
1088
01:07:08,649 --> 01:07:12,570
LOVELL: Certainly, with the
goal of landing on the Moon
being so prominent in people's
1089
01:07:12,653 --> 01:07:16,741
minds, they tended to focus
the Space program towards that
area, but right now I think
1090
01:07:16,824 --> 01:07:21,662
that the country is realizing
the broad implications of what
can really be accomplished by
1091
01:07:21,746 --> 01:07:25,291
a diversified,
well-organized space program.
1092
01:07:26,459 --> 01:07:27,460
WOMAN: I think
it's ridiculous!
1093
01:07:27,543 --> 01:07:28,711
REPORTER (off screen):
Why's that?
1094
01:07:28,794 --> 01:07:30,212
WOMAN: Spending
all that money.
1095
01:07:30,296 --> 01:07:33,382
Here are all these poor
people out of jobs, don't have
enough to feed their children.
1096
01:07:33,466 --> 01:07:36,052
They're sending someone to
the moon instead of helping
the people here get jobs and
1097
01:07:36,135 --> 01:07:38,262
live like human beings.
1098
01:07:38,345 --> 01:07:41,932
REPORTER (off screen):
The public interest in space
flight seems to have waned and
1099
01:07:42,016 --> 01:07:46,020
proving that out is CBS
news correspondent Bruce Morton
in Houston.
1100
01:07:46,604 --> 01:07:48,439
MORTON (over TV): The space
agency's budget has shrunk,
1101
01:07:48,522 --> 01:07:50,566
the number of people
employed here has shrunk,
1102
01:07:50,649 --> 01:07:54,361
the number of contractors
with people here has
shrunk and public interest,
1103
01:07:54,445 --> 01:07:58,115
at least as reflected
in news media attention
has shrunk, too.

01:08:25,768 --> 01:08:27,812
what looks to be a can here.
1108
01:08:27,895 --> 01:08:31,816
Housed inside this can
is the LM ascent engine.
1109
01:08:31,899 --> 01:08:35,611
Here, hopefully you can
see my hand resting on
top of right now...
1110
01:08:35,694 --> 01:08:39,198
the engine that we use
to get off of the Moon.
1111
01:08:40,116 --> 01:08:42,034
CAPCOM (over radio): Okay,
it's been a real good TV show,
1112
01:08:42,118 --> 01:08:44,036
we think we ought to
conclude it from here now.
1113
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:45,412
What do you think?
1114
01:08:45,955 --> 01:08:47,748
LOVELL (over radio):
Roger, sounds good.
1115
01:08:47,832 --> 01:08:53,337
This is the crew
of Apollo 13 wishing
everybody there a nice evening,
1116
01:08:54,380 --> 01:08:57,299
and we're just about ready to
close out our inspection
1117
01:08:57,383 --> 01:09:01,470
of Aquarius and get back for a
pleasant evening in Odyssey.
1118
01:09:01,554 --> 01:09:02,763
Good night.
1119
01:09:03,514 --> 01:09:06,267
KRANZ (over radio):
Okay, GNC, you got any
configuration items now?
1120
01:09:06,350 --> 01:09:07,893
MAN (over radio):
Negative, flight.
1121
01:09:07,977 --> 01:09:11,230
KRANZ (over radio):
Capcom, it looks like the
last item we need here is a
1122
01:09:11,313 --> 01:09:13,941
stir on the H2 and
O2 at their convenience.
1123
01:09:14,525 --> 01:09:15,693
CAPCOM (over radio): Okay.
1124
01:09:15,776 --> 01:09:17,611
13, we've got
one more item for you,
when you get a chance.
1125
01:09:17,695 --> 01:09:20,030
We'd like you to stir
up your cryo-tanks.
1126
01:09:20,489 --> 01:09:22,575
SWIGERT (over radio):
Okay. Stand by.
1127
01:09:24,034 --> 01:09:26,036
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
You guys, look at your
O2 quantities to see if you
1128
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:27,746
see a big change.
1129
01:09:29,832 --> 01:09:31,125
(explosion)
1130
01:09:41,135 --> 01:09:43,470
SWIGERT (over radio):
Okay, Houston, we've
had a problem here.
1131
01:09:45,347 --> 01:09:47,099
CAPCOM (over radio):
This is Houston.
Say again, please.
1132
01:09:52,730 --> 01:09:55,107
LOVELL (over radio): Uh,
Houston, we've had a problem.
1133
01:09:56,942 --> 01:09:58,944
We've had a
Main B Bus Undervolt.
1134
01:10:01,322 --> 01:10:02,448
LIEBERGOT (over radio):
We've got more than a
problem here.
1135
01:10:02,531 --> 01:10:04,033
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Okay, listen, listen,
you guys.
1136
01:10:04,116 --> 01:10:07,161
We've lost fuel cell 1,
N2 pressure.
1137
01:10:07,244 --> 01:10:10,039
CAPCOM (over radio):
Okay, standby, 13.
We're looking at it.
1138
01:10:10,956 --> 01:10:13,375
HAISE (over radio):
We had a pretty large
bang associated with the
1139
01:10:13,459 --> 01:10:15,336
Caution and Warning there.
1140
01:10:16,253 --> 01:10:17,213
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
We got a Main B Undervolt.
1141
01:10:17,296 --> 01:10:18,714
Okay, listen, listen you guys.
1142
01:10:18,797 --> 01:10:20,674
We've lost fuel
cell 1 N2 pressure.
1143
01:10:20,758 --> 01:10:22,509
ECS, what do you got?
1144
01:10:22,593 --> 01:10:24,303
MAN (over radio):
He's flipping the fuel
cells around.
1145
01:10:24,386 --> 01:10:26,597
MAN 2 (over radio):
O2 tank one is fluctuating.
1146
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:28,724
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Okay, is that pressure
coming down?
1147
01:10:28,807 --> 01:10:30,809
MAN (over radio):
373, it hasn't moved.
1148
01:10:30,893 --> 01:10:32,353
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Is that reflected anywhere?
1149
01:10:32,436 --> 01:10:34,438
MAN 2 (over radio):
Negative. Negative.
1150
01:10:34,521 --> 01:10:36,106
I want to site job
with those fuel cells.
1151
01:10:36,190 --> 01:10:38,067
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Yeah, if you believe that N2
pressure we blew a.
1152
01:10:38,150 --> 01:10:40,069
MAN (over radio):
Okay. Go ahead.
1153
01:10:40,152 --> 01:10:42,780
We're short low engine
pressure on fuel cell one.
1154
01:10:42,863 --> 01:10:44,573
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
EPS, EECOMM.
1155
01:10:44,657 --> 01:10:48,035
Why don't we just try fuel
cell 1 on Main B by itself?
1156
01:10:48,118 --> 01:10:49,119
CAPCOM (over radio):
13, Houston.
1157
01:10:49,203 --> 01:10:51,622
We'd like you to open
circuit fuel cell one.
1158
01:10:51,705 --> 01:10:53,916
Leave two and three as is.
1159
01:10:54,416 --> 01:10:56,377
HAISE (over radio): Okay,
I'll get to work on that.
1160
01:10:56,460 --> 01:11:01,215
LOVELL (over radio):
And Jack our O2 quantity
number 2 tank is reading zero.
1161
01:11:01,298 --> 01:11:02,633
Did you get that?
1162
01:11:03,050 --> 01:11:04,593
CAPCOM (over radio): O2
quantity number two is zero.
1163
01:11:05,552 --> 01:11:07,263
LOVELL (over radio):
Yes. That's good AC
1164
01:11:07,346 --> 01:11:09,515
and it looks to me, looking
out the hatch,
1165
01:11:09,598 --> 01:11:10,808
that we are venting something.
1166
01:11:13,519 --> 01:11:16,188
We are venting
something out into the-
1167
01:11:16,272 --> 01:11:17,606
into space.
1168
01:11:20,025 --> 01:11:21,860
CAPCOM (over radio):
Roger, we copy you're venting.
1169
01:11:29,952 --> 01:11:32,204
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Crew thinks they're venting.
1170
01:11:32,746 --> 01:11:34,665
KRANZ (over radio):
Okay, let's everybody
think of the kind of things
1171
01:11:34,748 --> 01:11:35,916
we'd be venting.
1172
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:37,960
GNC, you got anything that
looks abnormal in your system?
1173
01:11:38,419 --> 01:11:40,337
LOVELL (over radio):
It's a gas of some sort.
1174
01:11:41,046 --> 01:11:42,923
PA OFFICER (over radio):
This is Apollo Control at
1175
01:11:43,007 --> 01:11:45,384
57 hours, 46 minutes
ground elapsed time.
1176
01:11:45,467 --> 01:11:49,722
The Black team of flight
controllers is looking at
possible alternate missions.
1177
01:11:50,556 --> 01:11:54,393
As we have an apparent
serious oxygen leak in the
cryogenic oxygen in the
1178
01:11:54,476 --> 01:11:56,061
Service Module.
1179
01:11:56,145 --> 01:11:58,856
KRANZ (over radio):
Look I'd prefer not make
any unnecessary maneuvers
1180
01:11:58,939 --> 01:12:00,941
until we nail down
what our problem is.
1181
01:12:01,692 --> 01:12:04,611
ANNOUNCER (over TV): Here is
a special report on Apollo 13.
1182
01:12:05,529 --> 01:12:08,699
Here is ABC science
editor, Jules Bergman.
1183
01:12:09,491 --> 01:12:12,536
BERGMAN: The Apollo 13
spacecraft has suffered a
major electrical failure.
1184
01:12:13,203 --> 01:12:16,915
Seconds after inspecting
the Aquarius lunar module,
Jim Lovell and Fred Haise
1185
01:12:16,999 --> 01:12:21,211
had crawled back into their
Command Module, and then
reported hearing a loud bang
1186
01:12:21,295 --> 01:12:24,256
followed by a power loss in
two of their three fuel cells.
1187
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:28,385
They also reported seeing
fuel, apparently oxygen and
nitrogen, leaking from the
1188
01:12:28,469 --> 01:12:32,264
spacecraft and reported
the gauges for those
gasses were reading zero.
1189
01:12:33,265 --> 01:12:36,185
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
The pressure in O2 tank one
is all the way down to 297,
1190
01:12:36,268 --> 01:12:37,853
we better think about
getting in the LM.
1191
01:12:37,936 --> 01:12:39,355
Or using the LM systems.
1192
01:12:39,438 --> 01:12:40,689
SWIGERT (over radio):
Okay, Jack.
1193
01:12:40,773 --> 01:12:45,652
It looks like O2
tank one pressure is
just a hair over 200.
1194
01:12:46,070 --> 01:12:49,323
CAPCOM (over radio):
We confirm that here and the
temperature also confirms it.
1195
01:12:49,406 --> 01:12:52,201
SWIGERT (over radio):
Okay, does it look like
it's still going down?
1196
01:12:52,284 --> 01:12:55,746
CAPCOM (over radio):
It's slowly going to zero,
and we're starting to think
1197
01:12:55,829 --> 01:12:58,082
about the LM lifeboat.
1198
01:13:01,794 --> 01:13:04,671
STANLEY (over TV): The
word is from the technicians
at North American Aircraft,
1199
01:13:04,755 --> 01:13:07,049
who manufacture
the command module,
1200
01:13:07,132 --> 01:13:10,803
that using only one of
the three available fuel cells,
1201
01:13:11,470 --> 01:13:15,182
insufficient power
would be available to fire
the booster aboard the command
1202
01:13:15,265 --> 01:13:17,518
module to make that
switch in trajectory.
1203
01:13:18,519 --> 01:13:20,104
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
We're thinking about using
1204
01:13:20,187 --> 01:13:21,397
the LM as a lifeboat.
1205
01:13:21,480 --> 01:13:22,898
We have some procedures here.
1206
01:13:22,981 --> 01:13:26,568
REPORTER (over radio):
So, now a procedure called
LM lifeboat using the booster
1207
01:13:26,652 --> 01:13:29,029
engine aboard the LM is
being contemplated.
1208
01:13:29,822 --> 01:13:31,990
CAPCOM (over radio):
We figure we've got about
15 minutes worth of power
1209
01:13:32,074 --> 01:13:33,283
left in the Command Module,
1210
01:13:33,367 --> 01:13:35,828
so we want you
to start getting over
in the LM and getting
1211
01:13:35,911 --> 01:13:37,955
some power on that.
1212
01:13:38,330 --> 01:13:41,500
BERGMAN: Without all three
fuel cells, any lunar
landing is ruled out,
1213
01:13:41,583 --> 01:13:43,043
and the problem then becomes
1214
01:13:43,127 --> 01:13:46,046
getting enough electrical
power to fire up the
spacecraft onboard engine
1215
01:13:46,130 --> 01:13:48,340
to get them back to Earth.
1216
01:13:48,674 --> 01:13:50,634
SCHIRRA: One of
the things that we've seen,
1217
01:13:50,717 --> 01:13:52,803
of course now and it's
become almost traditional,
1218
01:13:52,886 --> 01:13:55,556
is to show
mission control that
control center room,
1219
01:13:55,931 --> 01:13:57,808
where the flight
controllers themselves are.
1220
01:13:57,891 --> 01:14:01,395
But there are,
oh I'd say 10 times that
many people around that room
1221
01:14:01,478 --> 01:14:03,230
in support rooms.
1222
01:14:03,313 --> 01:14:05,274
Probably about, yeah,
1223
01:14:05,357 --> 01:14:08,527
I would guess, probably
1,000 people working
directly, right now,
1224
01:14:09,069 --> 01:14:10,779
on each facet of this mission.
1225
01:14:11,238 --> 01:14:13,699
AARON (over radio): We ought
to get off entry battery and
do it through with voice line,
1226
01:14:13,782 --> 01:14:14,867
through the LM.
1227
01:14:14,950 --> 01:14:16,076
COMM.
1228
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:17,494
It's going to kill
COMM and everything.
1229
01:14:17,578 --> 01:14:18,996
LUNNEY (over radio): Yeah,
you're ready to do that.
1230
01:14:19,079 --> 01:14:20,706
Is everybody ready to
kill COMM in the CSM, GNC?
1231
01:14:20,789 --> 01:14:22,875
NEAL (off screen): The
center of activity is the
flight director's position,
1232
01:14:22,958 --> 01:14:24,251
where at the moment
1233
01:14:24,334 --> 01:14:27,796
Glynn Lunney and two other
flight directors, Gerry
Griffin and Milton Windler,
1234
01:14:28,213 --> 01:14:32,217
are running the operation,
checking all the points to
see what can be done to best
1235
01:14:32,301 --> 01:14:35,053
advantage to correct
situations as they develop.
1236
01:14:38,474 --> 01:14:39,475
BURKE (off screen):
At this moment,
1237
01:14:39,558 --> 01:14:42,019
about 30,000 miles
out from the Moon and
accelerating fast in
1238
01:14:42,102 --> 01:14:46,690
towards it, the crew are
aiming to curve in behind the
Moon and out of contact with
1239
01:14:46,773 --> 01:14:51,111
Earth, fire the only engine
they have left, the Lunar
Module's descent engine.
1240
01:14:52,988 --> 01:14:56,200
The situation is extremely
critical and we're
monitoring it at all times.
1241
01:15:06,543 --> 01:15:08,212
REPORTER (off screen): The
question is, "What happened?"
1242
01:15:08,295 --> 01:15:11,215
What was the big
bang which blew out the
fuel cells and wrecked the
1243
01:15:11,298 --> 01:15:12,841
command ship's Service Module?
1244
01:15:12,925 --> 01:15:14,801
And will we ever find out?
1245
01:15:14,885 --> 01:15:18,430
The Service Module is to be
jettisoned and will burn up
in the Earth's atmosphere.
1246
01:15:21,016 --> 01:15:23,644
BERGMAN (off screen): Lovell
and Haise had just crawled
back from the Lunar Module.
1247
01:15:23,727 --> 01:15:26,146
As they got back in
they heard a loud bang.
1248
01:15:26,230 --> 01:15:28,023
It was an explosion.
1249
01:15:28,106 --> 01:15:32,110
It happened back here in the
Service Module which contains
their breathing oxygen,
1250
01:15:32,736 --> 01:15:34,112
it contains the hydrogen,
1251
01:15:34,196 --> 01:15:36,865
the oxygen,
for the fuel cells,
the electrical supply that
1252
01:15:36,949 --> 01:15:39,993
powers up this engine that
give them radios, lighting,
everything else they
1253
01:15:40,077 --> 01:15:42,454
need to live with inside
the Command Module.
1254
01:15:43,789 --> 01:15:47,751
LUNNEY: Let me start
off by saying that we in the
business have probably had
1255
01:15:47,834 --> 01:15:50,170
the longest night
we've had in the space
program in a while.
1256
01:15:51,129 --> 01:15:56,301
Uh, my team came on duty
last night, we got to the,
we're supposed to come on
1257
01:15:56,385 --> 01:16:00,514
about 10 pm, and we got to
the control center as usual,
about an hour ahead of time.
1258
01:16:01,223 --> 01:16:06,436
And we had just finished
the television show when we
found out we had a problem.
1259
01:16:07,062 --> 01:16:10,440
Now, I wasn't on the
console nor did I hear the
air to ground when we exactly
1260
01:16:10,524 --> 01:16:12,234
had the problem.
1261
01:16:12,317 --> 01:16:17,114
And let me say that since
that time, my team has been
primarily concerned with not
1262
01:16:17,197 --> 01:16:21,702
what happened back there,
but what it is we were
going to do about it.
1263
01:16:22,578 --> 01:16:28,542
We're looking to
do a burn at 79 plus 30,
in order to accomplish
1264
01:16:29,084 --> 01:16:31,837
a faster return
to Earth with the
Lunar Module engine.
1265
01:16:33,422 --> 01:16:35,757
REPORTER (off screen):
Apollo 13 has swung
around the back of the Moon,
1266
01:16:35,841 --> 01:16:39,761
hitting its fastest clip since
the disaster aboard the
Service Module last night.
1267
01:16:40,304 --> 01:16:43,932
It's back in contact
with Houston getting ready
for the next big step:
1268
01:16:44,016 --> 01:16:46,768
A firing of the descent
propulsion engine once again.
1269
01:16:46,852 --> 01:16:50,522
This one, a four
minute and twenty second
burn designed to speed the
1270
01:16:50,606 --> 01:16:54,151
returning astronauts to
a Friday, midday landing
in the South Pacific
1271
01:16:54,985 --> 01:16:56,778
southeast of Samoa.
1272
01:16:56,862 --> 01:16:58,196
KRANZ (over radio):
Guidance from Flight.
1273
01:16:58,280 --> 01:16:59,781
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Go ahead, Flight.
1274
01:16:59,865 --> 01:17:02,868
KRANZ (over radio): Roger,
when during this activation
checklist do we want to
1275
01:17:02,951 --> 01:17:05,329
collapse D bend
to 1.4 degrees?
1276
01:17:06,121 --> 01:17:08,206
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Just prior to the maneuver.
1277
01:17:08,290 --> 01:17:11,418
Yeah, we'd like to
probably see it a good
time frame before flight,
1278
01:17:12,127 --> 01:17:14,212
let's say 20 minutes or so.
1279
01:17:14,796 --> 01:17:17,799
BURKE: Uh, can I borrow that?
1280
01:17:17,883 --> 01:17:19,426
Geoffrey, you sit there.
1281
01:17:19,509 --> 01:17:22,095
I'll start with the
model and I'll pass it
to you for the theory.
1282
01:17:22,846 --> 01:17:25,891
Pass me the model, mate.
That model.
1283
01:17:26,558 --> 01:17:28,435
WOMAN (off screen):
30 seconds!
1284
01:17:28,518 --> 01:17:30,020
BURKE: Quick, quick.
1285
01:17:30,103 --> 01:17:32,898
KRANZ (over radio): Okay,
all Flight Controllers, we're
on page 12 of the activation.
1286
01:17:33,273 --> 01:17:35,942
BURKE: Let's look at
why they have to burn the
engine that they have to.
1287
01:17:36,026 --> 01:17:40,864
First of all, the only engine
that is working onboard
this entire spacecraft at the
1288
01:17:41,323 --> 01:17:43,492
moment is that one there.
1289
01:17:43,575 --> 01:17:45,744
The Lunar Module
Descent Engine.
1290
01:17:46,453 --> 01:17:50,624
They're only going to
burn this engine for four
minutes and 24 seconds.
1291
01:17:50,707 --> 01:17:52,292
That's the engine
they have to use.
1292
01:17:52,376 --> 01:17:55,379
This engine here is
absolutely unusable.
1293
01:17:56,129 --> 01:17:59,508
They cannot now risk using
this engine, because they
don't know what condition the
1294
01:17:59,591 --> 01:18:01,176
controls in here are in.
1295
01:18:05,180 --> 01:18:07,057
CAPCOM (over radio): Jim
you are a go for the burn.
1296
01:18:07,140 --> 01:18:09,309
LOVELL (over radio):
Roger, I understand.
Go for the burn.
1297
01:18:10,602 --> 01:18:11,687
THORSON (over radio):
We have ignition.
1298
01:18:11,770 --> 01:18:14,189
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Rog. Ground confirms ignition.
1299
01:18:14,272 --> 01:18:15,732
BURKE (off screen):
Engines on.
1300
01:18:16,274 --> 01:18:17,901
LOVELL (over radio):
We're burning forty percent.
1301
01:18:18,652 --> 01:18:20,570
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
CO2 is on low bit rate.
1302
01:18:20,654 --> 01:18:21,780
How about all the other data?
1303
01:18:21,863 --> 01:18:24,282
All the ECS parameters
are on low bit rate.
1304
01:18:24,366 --> 01:18:26,451
Oxygen, water, and CO2.
1305
01:18:27,494 --> 01:18:29,663
BURKE (off screen):
Under three minutes to go.
1306
01:18:30,706 --> 01:18:31,665
KRANZ (over radio):
How you looking, Guidance?
1307
01:18:31,748 --> 01:18:32,958
GUIDANCE (over radio):
Looking good.
1308
01:18:33,041 --> 01:18:35,168
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Rog, Capcom. Looking good here.
1309
01:18:35,252 --> 01:18:39,381
KRANZ (over radio):
How you looking, Control?
1310
01:18:39,715 --> 01:18:41,675
Is it stable, Control?
1311
01:18:41,758 --> 01:18:44,094
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Looks good now, Flight.
1312
01:18:44,177 --> 01:18:46,638
Descent reg 1
off in 10 seconds.
1313
01:18:47,389 --> 01:18:50,684
KRANZ (over radio): Capcom,
reminder descent reg 1 off.
1314
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:53,478
BURKE: 10 seconds to go.
1315
01:18:55,897 --> 01:18:57,399
LOVELL (over radio):
Shutdown.
1316
01:18:57,774 --> 01:18:59,276
CAPCOM (over radio):
Roger, shutdown.
1317
01:18:59,735 --> 01:19:00,736
MISSION CONTROL (over radio):
Engine off.
1318
01:19:00,819 --> 01:19:02,362
KRANZ (over radio):
Rog, engine off.
1319
01:19:02,446 --> 01:19:04,281
PA OFFICER (over radio):
That was Commander Jim Lovell,
1320
01:19:04,364 --> 01:19:06,616
reporting shutdown,
engine is off.
1321
01:19:07,075 --> 01:19:09,411
LOVELL (over radio): I'd
say that was a good burn.
1322
01:19:10,203 --> 01:19:12,831
MOORE: All I
can say at the moment is
thank goodness for that,
1323
01:19:12,914 --> 01:19:14,499
and I think it bares on
what we said earlier on,
1324
01:19:14,583 --> 01:19:16,626
that if anyone can get back,
it's going to be these three.
1325
01:19:16,710 --> 01:19:20,172
I think the main danger
now is if something
else goes wrong.
1326
01:19:32,559 --> 01:19:34,519
HUNTLEY (off screen):
The House and Senate
passed resolutions calling
1327
01:19:34,603 --> 01:19:37,564
on the American
people to pray
tonight for the astronauts.
1328
01:19:39,691 --> 01:19:43,528
REID (off screen): Earlier
in the day the men got rid of
the unnecessary equipment.
1329
01:19:44,237 --> 01:19:48,200
They jettisoned the damaged
Service Module, photographed
the damage to that.
1330
01:19:49,075 --> 01:19:53,038
Then just a short time ago
they got rid of the Aquarius,
the thing that had given them
1331
01:19:53,121 --> 01:19:57,167
life through all those
long days and nights coming
down from that disaster
1332
01:19:57,709 --> 01:19:59,836
aloft Monday night.
1333
01:20:02,380 --> 01:20:04,758
CHANCELLOR (off screen): While
the men in the spacecraft are
still alright and the
1334
01:20:04,841 --> 01:20:09,638
ship is on its way home,
Apollo 13 is still walking
a tightrope far out in space.
1335
01:20:11,515 --> 01:20:13,934
CRONKITE (off screen):
The Command Module they
believe to be intact,
1336
01:20:14,017 --> 01:20:15,894
but there must
be some concern as to
1337
01:20:15,977 --> 01:20:19,189
whether that explosion
could have done any damage to
the heat shield in which they
1338
01:20:19,272 --> 01:20:22,359
must depend to get through the
5,000 degree heat of re-entry.
1339
01:20:35,789 --> 01:20:38,416
BURKE (off screen): And we'll
only known whether or not that
heat shield was damaged by the
1340
01:20:38,500 --> 01:20:43,421
explosion three days
ago when they come out
of radio blackout in just
1341
01:20:43,505 --> 01:20:45,549
over two minutes.
1342
01:20:47,175 --> 01:20:51,888
After a trip that has
included a number of technical
miracles, throwing the flight
1343
01:20:52,264 --> 01:20:55,308
book out of the
window, relying totally
on the men on the ground,
1344
01:20:55,392 --> 01:20:57,853
flying in a
sense blind up there.
1345
01:20:58,562 --> 01:21:01,940
They've come to
within the last few minutes
of being alive and well on
1346
01:21:02,023 --> 01:21:03,984
the surface of the Earth.
1347
01:21:04,317 --> 01:21:07,696
And they face ahead of them
those last few vital tests.
1348
01:21:11,491 --> 01:21:14,369
We tend to get wrapped up
in listening to the crew,
listening to the fact that
1349
01:21:14,452 --> 01:21:18,290
these men at certain points
throughout the mission, have
come very close to death.
1350
01:21:18,373 --> 01:21:22,127
Now as they come
down to this re-entry back
into the Earth's atmosphere,
1351
01:21:22,210 --> 01:21:24,963
it doesn't matter how many
people have done it before you.
1352
01:21:25,046 --> 01:21:28,216
When you're in the capsule
and you're coming down it
only matters to you whether
1353
01:21:28,300 --> 01:21:30,427
you come out alive.
1354
01:21:33,054 --> 01:21:36,558
PA OFFICER (over radio):
One minute to go now from
time of end of blackout.

Headquarters in New York,
1357
01:21:40,645 --> 01:21:42,230
where within the
next 30 seconds we should
1358
01:21:42,314 --> 01:21:45,275
restore communications with
the returning Apollo 13,
1359
01:21:45,650 --> 01:21:47,944
as it races down through
the Earth's atmosphere,
1360
01:21:48,028 --> 01:21:51,114
hopefully slowing
down in the proper fashion.
1361
01:21:51,907 --> 01:21:54,993
PA OFFICER (over radio):
Apollo 13 should be out
of blackout at this time.
1362
01:21:55,076 --> 01:21:58,663
We're standing by for any
reports of Orion acquisition.
1363
01:21:59,998 --> 01:22:02,125
BURKE (off screen):
And they are coming in
faster than predicted.
1364
01:22:02,208 --> 01:22:06,546
They're coming in just about
as fast as any spacecraft has
returned from space before.
1365
01:22:07,422 --> 01:22:11,092
REID (off screen): They
should just be dipping
into the atmosphere now.
1366
01:22:13,762 --> 01:22:16,932
MICHELMORE (off screen):
We're now coming to the moment,
the last moments of Apollo 13
1367
01:22:17,641 --> 01:22:20,435
as it comes in, as it
begins its re-entry.
1368
01:22:20,936 --> 01:22:24,397
The best thing we can do now
is just to listen and hope.

three chutes have opened up.
1380
01:23:35,969 --> 01:23:39,431
And gliding ever
so quietly down.

01:23:39,514 --> 01:23:42,100
Just a beautiful site to see.

they're home safe and sound.
1386
01:24:15,008 --> 01:24:19,471
Because I know people
all over the world were
very worried about them being

up there and they're
all just as happy
as I am, I'm sure.

01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:32,233
these men come down

1410
01:26:39,736 --> 01:26:42,280
REPORTER (over radio):
There is concern among
some astronauts that
1411
01:26:42,363 --> 01:26:45,450
Americans have taken
space travel for granted now.
1412
01:26:45,992 --> 01:26:49,746
Recent cutbacks of
NASA personnel has left the
feeling here that perhaps
1413
01:26:49,829 --> 01:26:53,124
Congress is taking space
travel for granted, too.

The Apollo 15 astronauts
spent more than six hours

riding and walking
on the moon today in the
most exciting excursion

in the history of Earth's
involvement in space.
1417
01:27:11,976 --> 01:27:15,063
When they got there,
they had trouble with the
front wheels of their car,
1418
01:27:15,146 --> 01:27:17,398
but the back wheels worked,
1419
01:27:17,482 --> 01:27:20,985
and they bumped and
swooped over five miles
on the Moon's surface.
1420
01:27:21,819 --> 01:27:24,155
The views were breathtaking.
1421
01:27:26,032 --> 01:27:28,201
IRWIN (over radio):
Boy, I can't get over
those lineations,
1422
01:27:28,284 --> 01:27:30,578
that layering at Mount Hadley.
1423
01:27:30,662 --> 01:27:32,455
SCOTT (over radio):
Boy, I can't either.
that's really spectacular.
1424
01:27:32,538 --> 01:27:35,416
IRWIN (over radio):
That's really beautiful.
Talk about organization!
1425
01:27:36,042 --> 01:27:37,293
SCOTT (over radio):
Yeah, man.
1426
01:27:37,377 --> 01:27:39,587
IRWIN (over radio):
That's the most organized
mountain I've ever seen.
1427
01:28:01,150 --> 01:28:03,653
CHANCELLOR (off screen):
Gene Cernan the Commander
of Apollo 17,
1428
01:28:03,736 --> 01:28:06,906
the last of the manned
Moon flights, said recently,
1429
01:28:06,990 --> 01:28:09,325
"This is not the
end of space flight.
1430
01:28:10,034 --> 01:28:13,538
We're just beginning
to understand and
accept the challenge that
1431
01:28:13,621 --> 01:28:15,373
the universe has for us."
1432
01:28:15,456 --> 01:28:19,335
Yet, even Cernan
admits that his is perhaps
the last Moon flight
1433
01:28:19,419 --> 01:28:21,045
of this century.
1434
01:28:21,838 --> 01:28:24,674
CERNAN (over radio):
Okay, LRV equipment check.
Blankets are open 100 percent.
1435
01:28:24,757 --> 01:28:27,093
TGE - I've got three
measurements complete;
1436
01:28:27,176 --> 01:28:28,970
I've got the drill, the bag,
and the neutron flux.
1437
01:28:29,053 --> 01:28:31,347
The TV camera - I'm
taking it away from you.
1438
01:28:32,223 --> 01:28:33,766
CAPCOM (over radio):
Okay, Roger.
1439
01:28:33,850 --> 01:28:36,811
SCHMITT (over radio):
Watch it, Gene.
This is the other chip.
1440
01:28:37,937 --> 01:28:39,355
SCHMITT (over radio): Right.
1441
01:28:40,523 --> 01:28:41,983
Got it.
1442
01:28:45,153 --> 01:28:49,198
SCHMITT (over radio):
Oh, hey!
There is orange soil!
1443
01:28:50,158 --> 01:28:52,076
CERNAN (over radio): Well,
don't move it until I see it.
1444
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:55,121
SCHMITT (over radio):
It's all over!
1445
01:28:58,291 --> 01:29:00,918
CERNAN (over radio):
Hey, it is!
I can see it from here!
1446
01:29:01,377 --> 01:29:03,379
SCHMITT (over radio):
It's orange!
1447
01:29:03,796 --> 01:29:05,631
CERNAN (over radio):
How can there be orange
soil on the Moon?
1448
01:29:06,007 --> 01:29:08,051
MAN (over radio):
I'll tell you how there can
be, we've got oxidation.
1449
01:29:10,053 --> 01:29:11,763
CERNAN (over radio):
It's been oxidized.
1450
01:29:11,846 --> 01:29:13,848
Tell Ron to get the
lunar sounder over here.
1451
01:29:13,931 --> 01:29:15,516
SCHMITT (over radio):
It looks just like a...
1452
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:19,103
...an oxidized desert soil,
that's exactly right.
1453
01:29:28,780 --> 01:29:32,700
CERNAN (over radio):
I'd just like to say that any
part of Apollo 17, or...
1454
01:29:34,202 --> 01:29:40,375
any part of Apollo that
has been a success
thus far is probably,
1455
01:29:40,792 --> 01:29:43,628
for the most part,
due to the thousands of
1456
01:29:43,711 --> 01:29:47,423
people in the
aerospace industry who
have given a great deal,
1457
01:29:48,091 --> 01:29:52,804
besides dedication
and besides effort and
besides professionalism
1458
01:29:52,887 --> 01:29:54,847
to make it all a reality.
1459
01:29:57,100 --> 01:29:58,935
CERNAN (over radio):
Well, we're just two little,
1460
01:29:59,018 --> 01:30:01,646
two little sets of
twinkle toes here.
1461
01:30:01,729 --> 01:30:07,443
There's a lot that goes
to getting this rover
running out here that we
1462
01:30:07,527 --> 01:30:09,737
don't have much to do with.
1463
01:30:11,739 --> 01:30:15,493
KRAFT: Like all of us in
the Apollo program, I'm
sure we're very nostalgic
1464
01:30:15,576 --> 01:30:18,788
about this being the last
flight to the Moon.
1465
01:30:19,288 --> 01:30:23,292
We, I think most of us
realize that it'll probably
be out of our lifetime
1466
01:30:23,376 --> 01:30:25,461
before we land on
the Moon again.
1467
01:30:26,754 --> 01:30:30,383
CERNAN (over radio):
And as I take man's
last steps from the surface,
1468
01:30:30,466 --> 01:30:35,179
we leave as we came and God
willing as we shall return.
1469
01:30:37,723 --> 01:30:41,894
With peace and hope
for all mankind.
1470
01:30:44,689 --> 01:30:45,773
Engine arm is in.
1471
01:30:45,857 --> 01:30:48,067
SCHMITT (over radio):
Okay, I'm going to
get the probe.
1472
01:30:48,151 --> 01:30:49,527
99, proceeded.
1473
01:30:49,610 --> 01:30:52,196
3, 2, 1. Ignition.
1474
01:30:53,698 --> 01:30:56,742
CERNAN: We're on
our way, Houston.
1475
01:30:58,744 --> 01:31:00,413
KENNEDY (off camera):
But in a very real sense,
1476
01:31:00,496 --> 01:31:03,541
it will not be one man
going to the Moon.
1477
01:31:03,624 --> 01:31:07,545
If we make this judgment
affirmatively, it will
be an entire nation.
1478
01:31:09,505 --> 01:31:12,175
BRAUN (off screen):
It is no longer a dream,
but a reality.
1479
01:31:12,258 --> 01:31:16,429
For at last, man has in
his possession a rocket
powerful enough to
1480
01:31:16,512 --> 01:31:19,640
carry him into deep space.
1481
01:31:20,266 --> 01:31:23,686
In the near future, an
giant Apollo Saturn V
rockets will thunder from
1482
01:31:23,769 --> 01:31:26,522
the Earth to
carry men to the Moon.
1483
01:31:26,939 --> 01:31:29,275
CRIM (off screen): There's
the flame from those five
first stage engines.
1484
01:31:29,358 --> 01:31:30,860
What a tremendous sight.
1485
01:31:30,943 --> 01:31:33,863
The brilliant orange
flame blowing out in all
directions from under.
1486
01:31:33,946 --> 01:31:38,451
CHAFFEE: It's a stepping
stone to deeper space, man has
always been plagued with an
1487
01:31:39,076 --> 01:31:44,540
intense curiosity and I
think we have to go up there
and look and see what it is.
1488
01:31:45,082 --> 01:31:48,961
We need to gather this
information before
we can go any further.
1489
01:31:52,298 --> 01:31:54,842
CRONKITE (off screen):
Through all times, the
Moon has endured out there.
1490
01:31:54,926 --> 01:31:59,055
Pale and distant,
determining the tides,
tugging of the heart.
1491
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:02,892
A symbol, a beacon, a goal.
1492
01:32:06,812 --> 01:32:09,190
ANDERS (off screen):
As we departed from the
Earth on our way to the Moon,
1493
01:32:09,273 --> 01:32:12,276
I was particularly
impressed by the relative
1494
01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:15,404
insignificance of this
planet that we live on.
1495
01:32:15,780 --> 01:32:20,409
We all tend to think that it
is a mammoth place, that it
goes on forever, and here is
1496
01:32:20,493 --> 01:32:26,374
this one very small, colorful
body against this black
backdrop that goes on forever.
1497
01:32:27,583 --> 01:32:32,213
I think that it impressed
me with the thought that man
should strive very hard to
1498
01:32:32,296 --> 01:32:36,050
learn to live with his
brothers, and learn how to
take care of this very small
1499
01:32:36,133 --> 01:32:38,886
and fragile planet
that he lives on.
1500
01:32:40,805 --> 01:32:43,516
BRINKLEY (off screen):
With this last Moon landing,
the primary job given the
1501
01:32:43,599 --> 01:32:46,978
national space agency
is done, and done well.
1502
01:32:47,478 --> 01:32:52,149
And now, it has dreamed
up a multi-million dollar
plan for a space shuttle.
1503
01:32:52,233 --> 01:32:55,278
A sort of flying
truck to be put in orbit
around the Earth and
1504
01:32:55,361 --> 01:32:58,114
kept there for long periods.
1505
01:33:07,582 --> 01:33:13,629
โช โช
1506
01:33:13,713 --> 01:33:15,756
BRADBURY (off screen):
At the center of all
our religions,
1507
01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:17,925
all of our sciences all of
our thinking over a good period
1508
01:33:18,009 --> 01:33:19,927
of years has been
the question of death.
1509
01:33:20,011 --> 01:33:23,931
And if we stay here on Earth
we are all of us doomed,
1510
01:33:24,015 --> 01:33:27,560
because someday
the Sun will either
explode or go out.
1511
01:33:28,185 --> 01:33:34,066
So in order to ensure
the entire race existing
a million years from today,
1512
01:33:34,859 --> 01:33:36,235
a billion years from today,
1513
01:33:36,319 --> 01:33:38,863
we're going to take
our seed out into space
and we're going to plant
1514
01:33:38,946 --> 01:33:41,324
it on other worlds.
1515
01:33:41,407 --> 01:33:42,950
CERNAN: This isn't the end.
1516
01:33:43,034 --> 01:33:46,579
This is, you know, we've
just begun to crawl
with the Apollo program.
1517
01:33:49,915 --> 01:33:54,253
We're just now hoping that
we can learn to begin to walk
and press on to the future.
1518
01:33:58,924 --> 01:34:01,093
It's not just the end.
1519
01:34:01,177 --> 01:34:03,638
We're not putting our
rockets in a barn and
closing the doors.
1520
01:34:03,721 --> 01:34:08,601
We're just beginning
to understand and accept
the challenges that this
1521
01:34:08,684 --> 01:34:10,728
universe has for us.
1522
01:34:10,811 --> 01:34:15,399
It's not the end but it
truly is a beginning.
