9:33 am
will see you very soon. ah, my grandfather matthew reddened off. the scheme was well known for working with the contract is he competed for the chance to design and build the new apollo spacesuits. one company, i'll see dover went to great lengths with the publicity stunt that showed their suit playing american football and winning the nasa contract by a touchdown. necklace to more show has extensively research the development of the siege in his book space suit fashioning apollo. because he tells me that in the early sixty's, i elsie dave who was a comparatively small company, best known for making women's underwear under the brand name, play text. even at the time, people in nasa called plaintext, i'll say partially as a, as a cult. like we call it, call someone by their nickname, partly as a kind of like can you believe we're dealing with plato? despite the company's lack of experience making protective clothing. they're
9:34 am
flexible and highly intricate design made to declare winner and incredibly after they won the nasa contract. skilled seamstresses who had previously been sewing, browse and girdles were moved to the painstaking job assembling the apollo spacing the cause. the suit ended up being put together out of $21.00 layers of fabric and not like $21.00 layers of fabric. just cutter cut out like a like a sandwich and some together. but actually 21 different suits. put one inside of the other like a russian gall and then um, sonya 2643 inch torrance, without any pins because the pins high puncture the pressure layer on this was a kind of ha, ha ha, nor olympic feet of sewing and to find people who could do it? they looked to the so as they were called, that they already employed her. of course, on that brown girdle side, i even, i was like 2 sides of the same warehouse. and then these women were the ones who
9:35 am
put the suits together and actually figured it out and there were no drawings all the suits. there was no kind of schematic drawing that told you how to put to put it together. the knowledge was really only in the fingertips of these women. nicholas says that during the research for his book and my grandfather's name came that often the people from does that does not come up. is it something that was it? was it mike bronowski, something that seemed to be very influential? yeah. oh because in fact, the particular role that my reading of all these documents is, is that there are 2 people kind of people in any organization. there are the people who fall the roles and the people who get things done and allow for rules to be mostly followed. and i think that your grandfather's seems to me to be definitely in the latter camp. i mean, he was in this, the conflict and the egos around this were, i mean, planetary scale you had with most public geopolitical event of the late 1960,
9:36 am
you had all of national prestige on her, on the line. nobody want to be the person to screw it on. my impression is that here is an absolute pain in the ass when he needed to be. and that he was a charming when he needed to be. and as i say in, in these situations who need these ring master fingers who are able to, to channel and shepherd, the energies of organizations to produce productive results. and, and your grandfather definitely seems like one of the most important ones when it came to all the things which actually kept us shorts alive. which in many ways were the most important things along many of my heroes from the apollo program and no longer with us. so finding people he can tell me what it was like to design the suit. man, roar to walk on the moon isn't easy. but for my, i'll see engineer john shibel still has an extraordinarily bright mind and a passion for engineering. he's kept a mandate that he liberated from. i'll see when he retired. and it's amazing to
9:37 am
come face to face with such an iconic object. is exactly what you guys design manager by neil armstrong. and basil jan. yes, she woke on the me. this is the apollo blue in your most lou. this and, and various pictures on the footprint on the moon. when it came to the big moments in a paula, i'm talking about obviously the moon landing when. when everyone, when i guess that was the real test, wasn't at the e v a. in a paula 11 of the suit that you guys designed, every one of our employees was in the plant and wash the landing. on the television, every, every person, every person that worked there was midnight and we were all in the plan. now, after the landing, i remember is kind of sentimental for me. but after the lanny
9:38 am
and it was all over and his private 2 o'clock in the morning, or how looked up at them, said larry, if so, and it was like i said that was an emotional type that and it was proof that we did it right. ah, john has seen his former boss, hannah ream suits the space to day. so i've taken the opportunity to get them together. when i me high match took lot, his experiences, working on the apollo program. how did you feel when that moment came, when buzz neal stepped out of the spacecraft? we saw what this was. i mean, this is the world looking at all i all see suit and then thing that that, that was difficult. is it the power level was the systems test to suit had been run
9:39 am
through door building, testing here at our, in our laboratories. we were confident of the store building. those systems test was apollo loven, emily prom. it was real and it was on the moon. and i just couldn't wait for it to get over. it all worked out pretty good. except they got a hit on the timeline and was all on banner daredevil as he is. he decides reinvent some more stuff and he's jumping around outdoor and i'm thinking get, getting back to inside. i mean, this is over glare in a success and get back and let the lamb, you know, he's out there doing some more stuff. he was just caught up in the moment, but it all, it all worked out. ok. phone, the crew systems, engineers, jenny mcmahon and larry bow vividly remember what it was like to welcome side grampa, his body, my discovery, even. i kept him from an old b,
9:40 am
b. c documentary about nasa, coupled with joe and laurie stories have, gives him my 1st insight into what grandpa was like to have around the office. matthew redman ski with a space suit design. and we have to define how he's going outside in the event that the man were to go outside on a completely self contained quote of a life support system. then some changes would have to be made. you have to have a pack on his back would have to have a pack on his back in the pack would have to be contained ah, devices, chemical written to tell me what it was like to work with matt right now ski. my grandpa was he i met. yeah, tommy, another, not him. he was a character. i love you start there. really interesting. we sometimes referred to me as the mad rush and this because he'd get all upset. so somebody didn't do what he wanted or do it as well. i was telling you earlier this piece a 4 by 4 would lay in on his desk in a big survival machete. he got upset with him, he'd start chopping on that block people downstairs calling us would you knock it
9:41 am
off? man? i can't hear down. i had an experience in the same gemini program when the crewman complained that their communication system would slide around and in the helmet they couldn't get to it adjusted. and i was having a meeting in the office about how we can fix that. and he walks in as to what you need. i don't know what the number was like a p, j 7. what british communications cap. he knew about these british flying camps because he'd been over there in the war and had flown with him and knew what it was . we took it apart and uses a pattern to make what was referred to later. as the snippy cap could add the brown, the years white spandex down the middle of that can look like a snoopy dog from the cartoon, and referred to in the power program just snoopy can't. but he was want to get that in started. tell us that what we needed. tell me what it was like of the time then to be working increase system. what was grandpa like? when matt walked into a room, he totally filled it. he was single minded. he was totally focused at anybody
9:42 am
around no matter who you worked for by the organization chart. if matt had a job or do you work for math, and one thing about him, he could break into a most be a terrific smile. he had the greatest smile i ever saw. it was just, it was like the sun coming out from behind. the cloud was humbly on. he had changed from his full, totally focused driven guy on somewhat somewhat strike him. and his voice would soften and he had a smile. so he was, it was a, a volatile guy. he was, it was a genius. it was a james. and he, i don't think his contributions will ever be fully appreciate the styles of the space race. of course, with the asking the american public records. he followed every detail that i feel amorous lifestyles. but the glare of the media spotlight of an obscure the dangers of traveling in the space and the crucial partnership between the men who built the seats and the ones he wore them asked, you know,
9:43 am
if jim lovell is better than anybody was, it was like to trust the crew systems team with his life, or what he shows me around next, submission of artifacts from his 3 flights into space. he tells me how he and his crew bought his most famous missions. apollo 13 back on the brink of disaster of lawn. thanks in part to the ingenuity of the nasa engineers on the ground, one of our big graces was the fact that ah, of their 3 people had to live in the lunar module. because the command module was dead in the lunar module, environmental system had only a couple of canisters to remove the carbon dioxide because the lunar module was designed only to be powered up once we're in lunar orbit. and it was designed to last only 2 days. i for only 2 people, and of course when they explosion occurred or was least a 4 day flight. ah, and there were 3 people and castle clearly the canisters to remove the carbon
9:44 am
dioxide were become his saturated. and therefore we had to go into the dead command module and get the canisters so that environmental system to try to see if we could recall jury rig those canisters to work in the little module system. unfortunately, the casters of the command module were square. the ones that were using the little modul around, and we did it with duct tape and piece of plastic cardboard cover from a flight manual animal side. and that's how we got that thing in to live our battle system, all the little modules so that i would remove the carbon dioxide, which is a perfect example of the ingenuity of the over people of crew systems is qu, systems that done that people working together to figure out how that had to be done,
9:45 am
there were only 8 human beings still alive. who set fis on? the me says an incredible privilege to get to meet one of them. charlie g. nina, much of pilots, apollo 16. he spent more than 20 hours on the lunar surface with his fellow asking john young us in your, in your fits as it were when you walk in on the main. can you feel, for example, the texture of the surface they walking on? can you feel any heat or do you really feel very isolated? well, when she got outside, you couldn't feel this texture. in fact, you, i don't even recall my, my, me seeking in. but when you turned around, you saw your footprints you left around our landing site. probably an inch, maybe 2 inches depression. but with the moon boot on an a suit boot, you could not feel that texture was not like walking on the beach in barefooted.
9:46 am
the worry in the space suit on the, on the moon is heat stroke uh, body heat. and you have to illuminate that body heat through our liquid cool garment that we had. and that worked really good. and so we had minimum cooling, intermediate cooling, and maximum coolie when you were riding in the rover. intermediate cooling was to calling. it was like freezing in the soup. so you had to turn back to work minimum . but when you got out and you started working, you had to go back to the medium setting. i felt secure. i never had a fearful slap except once when i fell over backwards towards the end of our stay on the moon. and we were excited, we'd done a good job and accomplished everything except for one experiment. and so john and i were going to do the moon olympics. and then i jumped in the hall. so john
9:47 am
said, well, we're running behind houston and we're gonna weigh, we're gonna do the moon olympic. so he starts to bounce. and so i start to bounce and then, and then i gave a big jump. and when i did unfortunately, i straightened out in my center of gravity, went backwards, and i went on you christine real to be just going over back like that. it's very scary because if i land the backpack brakes, i done for i got a barish goes a tv camera was pointed right at me. and so they'd seen this stupid high job. they were very upset by the way. so that ended the moon olympics i said no more that get back in gas. and so john park, the rover, i climbed in and that was an of our stay being one of them. i think just a dozen people to ever have the chance. ready to stand on the man and,
9:48 am
and the camera. did that change your perspective of life on earth, where we stood on the moon. the earth was directly overhead. and my 1st thought, when we 1st got dear was we're a long way from home. there. if you're just out there and it's you covered over with your hand in those views of earth, hung up in the blackness, the space for no borders, no countries, no continents. and then you do have some time to reflect well, the engine is designing the space suit may be didn't realize was that they were also creating a cultural icon. today, the image of the apollo astronauts has become instantly recognizable the wild over like me, author nasa, consultant and space flight historian. amy title wasn't even born yet during the polar project, but she's captured a 21st century audience. detention with her pa,
9:49 am
youtube videos would exclude aspects of what she calls, vintage space sat that we're looking at today on vintage space. i want to get amy's take. why space systems such a big part of the public imagination? and why this place is found everywhere, from advertising to even fancy drac can, will to take your own to frontier that you hand in boy that you may, i did. yeah, i think i'm gonna address caroline up in from funds to base the peer with the space program has had a massive impact on modern culture. and it is exactly that sort of the prevalence of the image of the astronaut that you see everywhere affiliated with anything. it's sort of become the one thing like everyone recognizes an answer in a big, bulky space suit. usually the apollo era white one. and everyone recognizes a rocket, but somehow those 2,
9:50 am
those 2 things and really mainly the suit because it's that human. like we, we see we can see ourselves in a seat, right? you can put, you can put that on. you could be extra but what i want to do now is get inside a real space, eat and feel for myself what it's actually like. does an independent company in new york? what final frontier design is run by american ted southern and his russian colleague, nickel. i'm we, steve, that creating a suit that she has some technology with the current russians saved the suckle seats, which is you last notes traveling to the international space station. canadian astronaut commanded chris hatfield. whew. the so called sea during his file ship into space where he became famous for his city on board the international space station to sleep. mm. you say he shows me around a circle say like the one he flew in. well, i'm a bit nervous about being completely enclosed inside
9:51 am
a precious seat. so i want to know from his perspective what a space suit is actually like to where the russian suit is very, very elegantly simple, very purpose designed. the suit that i wore on the shuttle much more robust because you have to actually be able to jump out and come down under a parachute in it. so it has to be a little more rugged suit than the, than the russian suit. but they both do their job well, i wouldn't where either of them recreation either. they are uncomfortable, hot rubber. no non compliant, garments to work. so it's not too much difference say to putting on a big heavy, wet suit and a scuba tank and a snorkel and fins and mask, you know, that's an ungainly thing to be wearing and you wouldn't want to be wearing and walking around right here. but once you go into the water, it feels different but natural, and it allows you to spend an hour under water that otherwise would be completely denied you. so there's sort of that girding your loins feeling of putting all this
9:52 am
stuff on. so that then you can go do battle with something that otherwise would, would defeat you at last, the time has come to try out the final frontier seats. this is one of the key moment in this journey for me and understanding what it feels like. you can look at it and look at it, lay down and table, the space you as an tops and material as many times as you like. but when you're in it you, your body is covered once the visor in front of you. i think that is over the face experience. and the moment when you can understand what people like my grandfather were working for, creating a little kid. i'm like, like christ hatfield. mm
9:53 am
mm . oh, i came to me through a series of physical challenges, some of which i probably struggled with at the best of time and beginning to understand the engineering challenge involved in making a suit of fabric. but to enable the person to walk on the moon, especially given the technology of the 1960 looking back at everything that was required to make these nicholas, marcia was right. when he said that grandpa was a ring master. all the different engineering goes at port themselves into that effort. it takes a big personality to be able to thrive in that environment. i think he sounds like a bit of a mentalist sometimes and i like that because it makes me feel
9:54 am
a bit crap that you know, that makes me feel close to him. realizing with actually he to be kind of pay him. yeah. and he was a bit wait, sometimes i call people in the middle the nights because he was really excited and wants to quit right now. and i love that because that's sort of the person i am a bit as well. and that's what makes me feel close to him, not realizing that i want someone to tell me that he was actually really irritating . sometimes because i'm really irritating sometimes. and that makes me feel closer to him. much right, not the daughter, mountie. barbara still lives in houston, texas, daylight on as part of the reset to this film. and she's been looking to old paperwork and photographs from that time. and i grandpa died when he was 68 years old, just 3 years after i was born in the u. k, he only saw me twice and wanted to visit again. but his how finally failed him. i wish i could have interviewed him to this film. what you don't know is that
9:55 am
your effort to do this, your effort, caroline, to find out about your grandfather is exactly the way matt would act and would hope and dream that you would act. because we spoke a lot the weeks before he died and he knew that he was not well, and he was 68 and he felt his time was coming. he really wanted a heart transplant but couldn't qualify. and so he was planning a trip with me to see you when he died. and your actions in learning about him is just what he'd want. that was his. that was his great love and you're the youngest. and he really wanted you to know about it. he really wanted to visit you
9:56 am
as i come close to the end of my journey of discovery about grandpa in the space suit. i've got a new understanding and respect the work of nasa and all those who played that part in putting man on the moon. for me and my family, we have one ensuring personal legacy to remember grandpa by an icon of the 20th century. this is the apollo. see it? this is pretty much the real deal. i mean, this is the real deal. this is walks my grandfather and his colleagues, designs what i'll see dover made, and what the crew own apollo war to walk on the moon. in many ways, this was grandpa laced famous legacy. this was his child. and the man he wore this came back to us safely and that was because of
9:57 am
nasa cru systems aisles. he, dover, and grandpa form on in a rite of passage presents to the generation michael, north laying down there until was claiming she was helpless. the woman or after indoors it goes through vitals of paint for what fat manime meets the women affected by f g m. and those re shaping perception, do you think people will abandon the site eventually, but to those take al jazeera correspond because when this tornado destroyed everything, it touched in mayfield. when people need to be heard and the story tones, he has done his job to tell us what's going on with exclusive interviews and in depth reports i get on my right the wind and just
9:58 am
b. g 0 has teens on the ground to where you award winning documentaries and light on air and online with hello, we got some very unsettle weather across a good part of the middle east cloud and rain streaming into many areas. you can see the wet weather just around the levant, pushing into that eastern side of the mediterranean, sliding down across sun, northern palaces, saudi just pushing over towards the gulf there. and it will sink further south with some lively showers coming through kuwait season. big down pause, i suspect there will be some flooding, perhaps some flooding to an eastern parts of iraq, western past of a ransom heavy down pulse here, and some snow over the high ground evening to pray us here in casa, we will see the chance of a shower or 2 as you go through the next couple of days with some live,
