i've been lucky enough to take the picture that maybe define. the start of the environmental movement i mean of the vigorous start. yet. it really and has influence well beyond my imagination a lot of people not only is the earth fragile and and beautiful but it's very small and i think that last message is just beginning to creep in to people that we're not the center of the universe as people would like to think and i think that picture along with the hubble telescope deep space view you know where the even looking through a tiny little hole in the universe there's millions of go axes and so though we have still i think a lot of people think we're the center of the universe or it's clear that that's not true and i think the earth rise picture has helped people start thinking in a more expansive way are you that all three of you you're pretty religious you had religious convictions yet faith when you see for the first time how the earth right

does that somehow change your perception of god based religion. if people everybody's free to believe what they want and of course if you go back you know sooner or later you have to wonder in the creation of the universe who was it or what was it that divided by zero and we get all this but i must say it did affect my religious views they became much more much broader than my narrow catholic upbringing and john graham said that complement was for all humanity did you feel that at that time or yeah we felt well particularly i felt it as a air force fighter pilot fighting the cold war. that we were there to prove not just to ourselves and the american people but to prove to the whole world that america was a second rate when certainly the soviets are now the russians with sputnik and our

guarantee the missile gap were making america look really bad when you think of that gary and want us to symbolize to you that to me. i don't think this the russians have gotten the full credit. for sputnik. i mean i know he's a hero of the soviet union but. you know course like me he just had to be at the right place at the right time but to be the first human to. get away from the earth we were the first to get really away from the earth that he was the first to get up there i think. that makes him and the russia the soviet union something they could really be proud of that gives that if it hadn't been for the russians wouldn't have had public support for the taxes that were required to beat the commies as an air force pilot how did the cold war motivate you well i was chasing him and i say dirty commies i well i probably admit it but. i was

chasing russian bombers soviet bombers around iceland and carrying nuclear rockets to shoot them down if they attacked our country and there would not be the political support for john f. kennedy's sort of crazy statement about we're going to go to the moon had it not been for american paranoia over the russians over the soviets and that was particularly made clear even to the farmers in iowa who pay taxes by sputnik and that space budgets right now are being cut. defense budgets are still secure yet we know that you know to say it's in a financial trouble as a former defense industry top man which should be the top priority right now well. that's along i have a somewhat different than most of my colleagues view i think the our space program has been on the wrong track ever since the end of apollo with the space shuttle

well i think the space shuttle is spectacular it is so dead in program and that certainly brought the point by it being terminated and now we have to hitch rides. with the prior competitors who must be laughing up their sleeves that the americans who got to hoon first now have to ride on russian rockets. the space shuttle was supposed to car still one tenth per pound orbit in the saturn five modest the model it cost ten times in retrospect that's a hundred fold so the space shuttle is spectacular as it is a nasa hollow from the inside out so it's too bad in my view and we went down this path right it did a lot of wonderful things but it streamlined high cause it's not the least of which is basically to. marginalize nasa now the other question which should be

a mean i think every nation needs to make sure that its defenses are strong enough to defend its country and maybe do a little more i think united states is trying to be the policeman around the world i frankly think that's a mistake. that's our peace loving president obama is doing that. do you find that the world is less fascinated now with the space exploration that it was the nineteenth it used to feel like the public interest shifted to a different sphere. first of all the apollo program was not an exploration program it was a political program to demonstrate to the soviets the rest the world that the united states was not second rate we barely were able to do that did you feel that it was a political mission when you're flying. they were our job was put the american flag on the moon and if we had any time to pick up rocks well ok but don't don't cause and you don't have any accidents. fortunately the rest of the world and

american public are also fascinated by the exploratory aspects they're not willing to pay for that they're only willing to pay to beat the. russians are. being evil well i mean that's the way america felt and i'm sure that the people of my age in the soviet union felt the same way moves mutual assured destruction you know you can't get too cooperative over that but how important is the aspect of exploration right now for you well that's important but we don't have the public to pay for their won't they won't pay the cost of going to mars. they'll pay to my amazement they'll pay to go into afghanistan and you think learned from the soviets that that was a big mistake. but they all seem to pay for that though. that maybe they won't but. exploration everybody can rhapsodize over the whole bowl

but they're not willing to pay the taxes for unfortunately if i were czar ok if i were premier i'd say we're going to go back to the moon. i'm not i'm not sorry i'm not premier well you think about the average age of a team on the ground in twenty four and looking back at it do you do you feel safe to trust a bunch of twenty year olds now trust them more than the old guys. well that was in a period when we had some very good elderly leadership. but that leadership was smart enough to leave a lot of the technological and quick decisions up to the young people it was very they had a lot of screening and they were tested time and time again but there was a. they the management listened to the younger people. and i'm not sure i could say the same about the soviet thank you very much for this

don't get it but you close and you closer and closer and then to finally achieve it i think you know it's just a bit surreal but. i expect i would love to make an olympic final. if you look at the times the gods are running. that aura finishing in the final at the olympics that's a lot for so going on running the world record is nearly two seconds away which is massive and those london games are now exactly one year away with world famous venues primed for the global spectacle wildly stadium the all england club and lord's among those hosting a bounce two time olympic gold medalist lord sebastian coe knows the job is not done yet comparing the current state of preparations in rights to. its midway back straight. on and go from eight hundred as where it's warm and last. so i don't kid myself you know this is a this is a crucial part of the race. and you come out of that. five hundred to six

a few questions despite my mrs dunn you left chelsea three years before i bought the club do you feel any regret that you weren't there when salaries went sky high and the blues finally won the league yeah i think it was about time for me to leave the club but i didn't know at the time that it always was going to come and also. in this time i was not in the good relationship with the coach who was really them i had to leave but i was sorry for sure because after the two years i lived since he won the championship you spearheaded only area a team which played in the champions league so why did you decide to make a move to combine a team which has been just relegated to the owner of the club and the government of the region. especially in a mania for me three times in my house to convince me to come here i think that was fantastic season and in the club i was working i was i was sure it is going in the

wrong direction because if you need the money and in this moment this club will need to disappear from for good and i think i do that i seem to move in the right time before i come to go burn the head coaches in one ear and i was a little bit scared about the situation but they said they want to change something and leave even though in the last three games in that old and there was the pressure a little bit last year i know that the owner of the club said. that it's going to be the new fed was sort of the combine. and you'll trust me do you think that the world twenty team can change something in this i'm sure the percent sure after the world cup that i shall be much better not just in the national team out also in the club competition and they will learn a lot from this and this is good for the country because there will be a new stadium of snow airports new york streets new hotels i think is fantastic for russia that the world cup will be here and i wish after the world cup i will be

russia because that will be the time to be here how do you think chelsea will do next season. i think if you will depends on the transfer to be as much as the might of these really strong and they already been buying two or three players at the moment chelsea doing nothing and even if they change their coach only the course cannot change if they need also in my opinion some players to win the champions league and put in the tight. thank you very much it's been a pleasure. now that's a small for the i'll bring you more in two hours time stay with our team for the weather update coming up shortly after this. twenty years ago the largest country in the world to certain traces of.
