with the new documentary about the moon landing 50 years ago i can still remember vividly remember as a young boy how the whole world seemed to stop and we watched in amazement as we saw live pictures being directly from the moon into our living rooms and incredible technological achievement at the time i also remember feeling a sense of global humanity that we as a planet where achieving great things and taking great strides well anyway here's a taste of apollo 11. this is the winner mission like you've never seen it before the documentary apollo 11 turns us into witnesses of history like you know what you feel as far as responsibilities representing mankind on this trip the enormity of this event something that only s.k. will be able to carry. all i haven't is very simply been given

the mission of carrying ben to the moon landing the pair and bringing them safely back. like this is a movie 50 years in the making of the footage is original the voices are original no new shots no narration apollo 11 gives audiences a front row seat at the 1st manned moon landing as it really happened. the team of filmmakers used brand new technology to restore nasa footage from 1969 . we were all dumb struck immediately at how beautiful the cinematography was the detail in the footage that we were seen was something i just had never seen before there was 3 or 4 of us in there over just speechless. minutes and then we recreated the entire mission and 9 days so we have a timeline where you can look and see over $100.00 tracks of audio and that took
8:47 am
the better half of a year just to compile that we were working with 18000 hours of uncatalogued audio 11000 hours of which was from apollo 11 the thing that in a time that the that the official with what it is there that we had hundreds of rails of footage newly rediscovered footage reveals a candid look at the men who risked their lives you have to kind of would all down one of the key moments were the moments of humanity that happened what we're looking at that stood out what really got me was. the emotion on their faces you could see the weight of what they were about to do. in a way that i'd never seen it before and that's when i knew that we had something millions of people watched the moon landing 50 years ago now millions who weren't yet born will see it almost as if they were there. almost as if they were with david leavitt's. i 60 great footage i mean it does look as though it was
8:48 am
filmed yesterday i practically had to lift my job back off the floor rob it looks so new and you know it looks so different to the images that we know from the lunar mission the ones that have burnt their way onto our brain i mean d's are the images that inspired people 50 years ago when you see them now they feel like they could have been a 1000000 years ago but this rediscovered footage now and the way that they've restored it just changes everything you're looking at neil armstrong like you could be looking at your neighbor almost and it just makes us realize that this is actually what the world looks like on the lunar mission looks like for the people who were there back in 1969 so where did they find this incredible footage so the director todd douglas miller was in touch with the u.s. national archive about this and one day he got an e-mail from them that they'd uncovered a whole trove of leftover movie footage from project back in the 1960 s. nasa had a movie deal with m.g.m.
8:49 am
that fell through but there was all this footage from it all this left over footage shot by a great film team pristinely preserved now but it was in a very special format that no one had used in 50 years so they had to develop a whole new technology to scan this footage and just imagine how scary it was you've got this invaluable technology you're putting it through a brand new prototype of a scanner that no one's ever used before i don't think it was as high or harrowing as manning a mission to the moon but i think it was pretty. scary moments unfortunately it all worked out we got this movie is just 11 thing the critics say about the movie though is the they don't talk about the political aspects of the race the right this was of course big the summit of this chapter between the soviet union and the u.s. trying to get a man on the moon that is left out for better and worse but you can't forget that the moon still is political territory donald trump is pushing to get another lunar mission going and he couldn't get better p.r.

than this really well perhaps he'd like to go to the. david factor. always. be interested in this next thing. the star must festival the zurich in switzerland brings together sciences astronauts and musicians for a rather unique get together no surprise that the festival this time is of course celebrating the moon landing 50 years ago and they do have a number of famous faces at the festival including buzz aldrin who along with neil armstrong landed on the moon 5 decades ago. the festival kicked off with a star studded concert called once upon a time on the moon. or winning composer hundreds. guitar idols. and the lead guitarist of queen brian may were among the guests on the opening evening of the storm has passed of

a live remote link head of an important test launch. he. also honored was musician and producer brian lena for his 983 soundtrack album apollo. what they sound like when you say when you put a very large river abberation on the side you think that sab so spacey you know they have been all these devices in the history of music called space echo and space chamber but of course in space there's no echo there's no sound so so we've created a human fantasy about what space is like and all that we know is that it's very. what was fantasy for artists was reality for the astronauts of the apollo mission it's charlie duke was the 10th man on the move. he became known for his lunar
8:53 am
olympics and attempts to jump as high as possible which nearly killed him but he learned from the experience don't ever do any space if you had practiced all over the many apollo was a. technical mission that i had a job to do and i was focused on my own just being on the moon you just fall in love with it if you try a case they get more come back i would like to live on the moon forever. but they would have been great they said. the overwhelming beauty of space it takes scientists and astronauts to study and an artist to make it accessible for the rest of us star mass is a celebration of sound and space and a kind of class reunion for the veterans of the u.s. space program who are still proud of having put the 1st man on the moon.

incidentally brian eno also had an asteroid named after him at the festival lucky guy now the young dutch artist fund is an expert at what is called hyper reality pencil drawings drawing so realistic they look like photos hyper reality is the ability to blend reality with fiction her drawings then being the fiction however portraits are incredibly lifelike and she has yet another extraordinary talent to take a look. at some a fun time is an extraordinary artist with a rare talent she's able to use both hands equally well different portraits of the same time not only that her drawings are photo realistic. well when i was working with only one ends i go through the ports because it's was
8:55 am
i yeah it's wasn't ready for me so from both ends is less boring. for me. my brain is busy so i write i like that. she had a breakthrough in 2011 age 17 she made a portrait of teen heartthrob pop singer justin bieber and then put it on the internet back then she was still only using one. of the men's rooms of to. vers contacted me and s.b. and i wanted to give my drawing to him. so i met him in 2000 never yeah he was really amazed by this roy and he couldn't believe that i. so it is all the really big compliment coming from him. that inspired her to create many more portraits of celebrities like johnny depp only national league and lady gaga. and earlier this
8:56 am
year she started using both hands to sketch different portraits simultaneously like these pictures of taylor swift and selena gomez. for us our joy i always study departed i'm going to throw and then i remember that so even when i don't look at the picture i can still throw away it's. only about one percent of people in the world are lucky enough to have the ability to use the right and left equally well it's an innate skill known as ambidexterity recently while she was drawing 2 different portraits at the same time her brain activity was monitored and it was discovered that her left and right brain hemispheres communicate 3 times more efficiently than those of other people right now i'm thinking of other things to do. so i started to learn to play piano with her talent it's not difficult to imagine she could also become
