6:45 am
first steps the men on the moon walked on the earth. they stayed here until they got to houston. >> when they got to houston, they were quarantined for awhile, too. >> they were. they spent a total of three weeks in quarantine. >> interesting. when you come out to the uss hornet, you can look inside. right now, it's authorized personnel. >> i have been in there for ten minutes. i had a nasty virus. i wanted to make sure no one caught it. >> it's fascinating out here. you have been here before. >> maybe i have seen you before. you look familiar. >> we all look the same. >> what i find interesting are the footsteps. when they came on board the hornet. why did you make them walk in those exact same painted footsteps. they did so much work.
