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 house. century anniversary of the moon landing. with oscar winning soundtrack composer hans zimmer and steve by one of the world's best guitarists. man brian may astrophysicist and queen's lead guitarist. the concert spectacle opened the stormers festival we met the man who started it all. all he's really my heroes so 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 stormers festival in 2011 on the canary islands bringing artists together with veteran astronauts and scientists and not just any scientist but such big names as stephen hawking. i think the main goal of stubbornness is i think suspicion this is why this should create a festival of people out inspired and the one of the race to inspire them is actually to bring peace christ and. to have basel 3 on stage with brian may correct people see real heroes and treat them like stars.
12:39 pm
the 5th edition of the festival was held in zurich switzerland the idea was to bring star mist 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 want it is because you can see that everything. above the beach is there and you make 2 trees. look at bat 1st of all it's beautiful. just being on the moon you just fall in love with it it's our.

purpose built space station. i think it has created a very special role and he still managed to create making people treat right song support and feeling part of the benefit of. astronauts have always credited science fiction writers like jules verne with sparking their imaginations and in turn the achievements of space flight had been spired art. some astronauts have become artists in their own right like nicole stott who painted watercolors in space not an easy task. the water behaves a little bit differently in microgravity than it does down here so i have little floating balls of water that i would use to dip my brush into and i painted 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 orderliness and all its beauty and this thing you how did this just happen by accident. this case is 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 olympics his attempt to jump as high as possible almost cost him his life. don't ever do anything in space if you had practiced over the 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 a great place and come all. 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 walks 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 they knew we were on the move and we did it now in terms we went to the moon to go to fake so we do it once and shut up. important to
12:43 pm
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 the star most best of all is yet another tribute to their admirable teamwork and contributions to science and technology and timmy's. 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 . we met the english musician at a festival for tea and a chat. toothpaste flavored tea.
12:44 pm
was to you know how do you remember the moon landing of 969 what did you do back then. i had just left out school and i was living in love 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 for 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 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
12:45 pm
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 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 us you need an atmosphere for there to be noise so we are the noise in the universe as far as we know we don't know any other source of noise. it's us just us . but when
12:46 pm
you say space the silence how difficult is it then to transform that into music when you say you put a very long reverberation 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 a way of saying i am here.

mankind. to explore space. far away. from the senator's version of the moon landing was most highly a giant leap for mankind it was also reflected in popular culture shock for example in david bowie song space odyssey new it's about an astronaut who ends up drifting in space. and it sounds shallow to let it sound you flip it play live. and let live learn to judge you as. 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 scifi to worst drug plans to the delay you in the end closing man told you

1969 shortly before takeoff it was perhaps the greatest human adventure of all time and would be covered on live t.v. like you know what you feel as far as responsibilities. that's relatively difficult to answer. a new documentary on apollo 11 features digitally restored footage from nasa archive some of the video has never been seen before. you have to kind of what all doubt one of the key moments were the moments of humanity that 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. 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 we had 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. moon films had been popular since the early days of cinema and still are seen. in a new film portrays the triumphs and the tragedies in the life of neil armstrong in
12:52 pm
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 'd. 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 women mistakes. later after the astronauts have returned to earth armstrong is shown at the core in 100 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.
12:53 pm
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 our top secret mission it ends in disaster when the astronauts are attacked by extra terrestrials left alone in space far away from their home planet they are the most lonely people imagine. they'll will not only see me please. the soviet union was justifiably proud of its space program a 27000 russian film tells the story of cars were not alex a layoff the 1st man to walk in space lay on of left his orbiting capsule on march

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 the public. the film is best understood as satire as opposed to a traditional factual documentary but the production values i'm quite good so it may seem convincing to some. the moon and it's never ending magic continues to fascinate and to which a song here on earth. as neil armstrong once said the moon is an interesting place to be i recommend it that
