within just a few years the movie would symbolize very different fears and desires the space race was on who will win the soviets or the americans it was the dawn of the space age many artists took a critical perspective on it. others were fascinated by the technology from nottingham british pop artist richard hamilton. doubtless forget he actually sense that this moon landing this spice rice program would very noticeably affect our daily lives inside the concept of streamlining and design for instance or lightweight materials and the miniature as ation of technology. 969 as soon as they landed the americans planted their flag on the moon by gesture that inspired bop artist andy warhol as late as 1987 just before his death. it

to know that zambia had a space program of its own in the early 1960 s. . lack of funding may have spilled its doom but the vision has retained its explosive political force to the present day. the most famous image in the exhibition isn't an artwork on december 24th 1968 apollo 8 astronaut william menders made the earth rise photo revealing a shining yet fragile world. the sun the side that was at the time of the viet nam war of terrible conflicts in the 1st environmental problems and of the hippie movement that expressed the desire for alternatives but we live on a planet in which we somehow have to get along and put an end to all the nationalist conflicts on

a much less moms on which is not so what is destructive to. the moon landing changed our view of our blue planet after decades of manned space travel no other planet has been found where humankind could live. the moon is no longer an object of fear and designer now it's the earth itself. a big orchestra and plenty of spectacle to celebrate that. century anniversary of the moon landing. with oscar winning soundtrack composer hans zimmer and steve by one of the world's best guitarists. then brian may astrophysicist and queen's lead guitarist. the concert spectacle

opened the stormers festival we met the man who started it all. really my heroes and i could never never imagine that one day i'm going to put together a festival to bring all these heroes of my childhood all my get together and i feel a part of the festivities that i'm paying tribute to all of that. garrick israelian here next to brian may is a professor of astrophysics native to armenia he launched the storm with best of all in 2011 on the canary islands bringing artists together with veteran astronauts and scientists and not just any scientists but such big names as stephen hawking. i think the main goal of stubbornness is i think his spirit and this is that's why this should create a festival of people out inspired and the one of their ways to inspire them is actually to bring these guys together to have basel 3 on stage with brian may
3:39 pm
correct people see real heroes and treat them like stars. the 5th edition of the festival was held in zurich switzerland the idea was to bring star most closer to the center of europe and pay tribute to swiss aerospace research like the solar wind composition experiment developed in bam it was the only non american experiment aboard apollo 11. on the 50th anniversary of the 1st moon landing everything that star must. about the moon and the u.s. apollo missions of the 1960 s. and seventy's. america's goal was to put a human on the moon before the soviet union did. but what is the moon's attraction besides the purely physical. the fascination of born it is because you can see that every night above the beaches

there and he makes a tree. look at that 1st of all it's beautiful. just being on the moon you use fall in love with it it's our. purpose build space station. i think more has played a very special role and a history of humanity creating making people trying to write songs supposed to fit in part of the lives. bastra knox have always credited science fiction writers like jules verne with sparking their imaginations and in turn the achievements of spaceflight adams byard art. some astronauts have become artists in their own right but nicole stott who painted watercolors in space not an easy task. water behaves a little bit differently in microgravity that it does down here so i have little floating balls of water that i would use to dip my brush into and i painted
3:41 pm
a painting based on a picture of probably one of the most beautiful things i saw which was this little chain of islands on the northern coast of venezuela called us rochas and to me i remember looking out the window at it and it looked like somebody had already like they'd taken a big paint brush and painted this wave on the ocean i think our planet is art i started like looking at earth with this idea of art appreciation you see the universe and it's all it's all that with us and all its beauty and this thing how did this just happen by accident. you do it this is this the designer i call it god . charles dupes perspective on many things has changed he was 36 years old when he piloted apollo 16 making him the youngest man ever to walk on the moon he spent a total of some 20 hours there his lunar olympics his attempt to jump as high as possible almost cost him his life. don't ever do anything in space if you had
3:42 pm
practiced all over to me apollo was. an adventure in a technical mission that i had a job to do and i was focused on my own i can't say get more come back i would like to live on the moon forever but certainly stay 2 more hours would have been great they said come on. back home he was welcomed with accolades but also skepticism even now some conspiracy theorists claim the moon landings were staged on earth were they faked the evidence is overwhelming that we landed on the moon we have. probably $300.00 kilos of moon rocks that are totally different than rocks the russians knew we went to the moon we want to race with them they tracked us we landed they never said it was a lie they knew the world the moon and we did it now in terms we went to the moon
3:43 pm
and if you go to a fake so do it once and shut up. important to remember is that the apollo missions had a major political motivation they were expensive risky and always controversial their success gave us modern day heroes though some may see them as american space cowboys this storm a spectacle is yet another tribute to their admirable teamwork and contributions to science and technology and to news. among them is brian eno he was awarded the stephen hawking medal at the festival for the release of his legendary 1983 apollo album. in addition researchers have even named an asteroid after him. somewhere out there a little brian eno is tumbling through space who else can say that about themselves
3:44 pm
. we met the english musician at the festival for tea and a chat. room toothpaste flavor to. mystic you know how do you remember the moon landing off 911 what did you do back then. i had just left out school and i was living in la the next door to my old painting professor we sat in the kitchen looking at his little television and it was getting evening and there was a full moon in the sky. that's actually where they are now those people are there and it was an incredible moment of everything contracting into this moment in time and of course i realize that was a very historic point in the history of the human race so although the apollo
3:45 pm
missions were you know a military technological industrial. thing they were also it was a piece of art it was this idea. hey we could do this we could make this happen how did it inspire you as an as an artist as a musician i didn't suddenly go and start making space music but i was already working with electronics and electronic instruments then the kinds of sounds that they produced were unearthly i kept finding myself thinking about the universe instead of the earth thinking about you know the galaxies and. the emptiness of space for example and i started to think actually most of the universe is silence the only place that there is any. actual noise is on earth you need an atmosphere for there to be noise so we are the noise in the
3:46 pm
universe as far as we know we don't know any other source of noise. it's us just us . and when you say it space the silence how difficult is it then to transform that into music when you say you put on very large reverberations on the side and you think that sounds so spacey you know they have been all these devices in the history of music called space echo and space chamber but of course it's 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 big . i started to think that composing making music i should say was such an unusually human function so we do this thing called making music for quite mysterious reasons i think and i think one of the reasons is it's
3:47 pm
a way of saying i am here. mankind sexy. to explore space. first the moon landing was mostly a giant leap for mankind it was also reflected in popular culture shock for example in david bowie song space odyssey it's about an astronaut who ends up drifting in space forever. handed down to the legit sound due to the gray lives. let alone to the to what. the song was released days before the start of the apollo 11 mission but the b.b.c.

refused to play it until the astronauts had returned safely to worst drug plan to lose the job of you in the closing landolin you was always inspiration for the song didn't come from the apollo mission from a science fiction film to. stanley kubrick's 2001 a space odyssey. advertisements for the film called it the ultimate trip and always good probably the great. it was the light 960 s. after all and many young people were experimenting with psychoactive drugs. and all this mind $169.00 the woodstock festival took place in the us a key event in the history of popular music and american counterculture.
3:49 pm
always song space oddity reached the top 5 on the good charts and when it. released in 1975 it went to number one the song has been covered by many artists. even in space. egypt time. in 2013 the international space station commander chris hadfield sang a version of the song at the end of his mission hadfield change the lyrics slightly so that major tom returned to earth safe and sound to. you. the apollo 11 mission required a massive effort an estimated 400000 people took part in developing the technology
3:50 pm
of the moon landing had a huge influence on the movies nasa itself delivered spectacular pictures in july 969 shortly before takeoff it was perhaps the greatest human adventure of all time and would be covered on live t.v. like the one. as far as. that's relatively difficult to answer. a new documentary on apollo 11 features digitally restored footage from nasa. some of the video has never been seen before. you have to kind of well down one of the key moments were the moments of humanity the out there what were the things 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. the film celebrates the heroes of this historic mission.
3:51 pm
the world of cinema has always been fascinated with the moon french directors. yes imagine the moon landing in this film from 1002. the film was a huge success around the world it brought viewers a step closer to the heavens the earth's only satellite a place filled with mystery and unknown dangers where dreams of adventure could turn into nightmares. in 1929 german director fritz lang portrayed the darker side of the moon mission in this silent film it was considered one of the 1st to reasonably accurate science fiction movies. and other films had been popular since the early days of cinema and still are seen. as

a new film portrays the triumphs and the tragedies in the life of neil armstrong in 1962 his daughter karen died of a brain tumor when she was just 2 years old. armstrong was devastated by the loss of his daughter. the film includes a scene in which armstrong 7 years later stands in silence on the edge of the moon crater in the film he casts a bracelet with his daughter's name on it into the crater ready. this was a man who i think was forged for failure and for loss he was not sort of you know this kind of born icon he was not he was not necessarily the sort of all american hero from the outside he was a human being he was vulnerable we made mistakes. later after the astronauts have returned to earth armstrong is shown at the quarantine facility the moon mission

seems to have changed him and not for the better he's more serious and remote. many other astronauts behave the same way after their missions. ready. the 2011 us canadian film apollo 18 is a fictionalized account of a moon flight that never actually took place. apollo 18 was cancelled by nasa in 1970 but in the film the astronauts are sent to the moon on a top secret mission it ends in disaster when the astronauts are attacked by extra terrestrials left alone in space far away from their home planets they are the most lonely people a national. hero will not only replace. the

important the visual spectacle expect going to be at 1st i didn't take it very seriously and that was. that it kept growing our border. then one of the presidential advisors i don't know general alexander haig or donald rumsfeld. said hesitantly. why do we feel the 1st steps on the moon in the studio and then if we fail we can always show those pictures to look up like . the film is best understood as satire as opposed to a traditional factual documentary but the production values are quite good so it may seem convincing to sun. the moon and it's never ending magic continues to fascinate and to which a song here on earth. as
