what does the earth rise mean to you. well i'm proud to have been lucky enough to take the picture that maybe defined. the start of the environmental movement i mean the bigger a start. 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 but you guys 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 really 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 we felt the 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 wasn't second rate when. certainly the soviets are now the russians

with sputnik in. the missile gap remaking america look really bad when you think of that garrett want to symbolize to me. i don't think the russians have gotten the full credit for sputnik. i mean i know he's a hero of the soviet union but. you know port's 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 is the first to get up there i think. that makes him and that the russia and 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'd probably bet 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 do i think the our space program

has been on the wrong try. ever since the end of apollo with the space shuttle well i think the space shuttle is spectacular it is a dead end program and that certainly brought the point by it being terminated and now we have to hitch rides with our 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 cost still one tenth per pound orbit in the saturn five modified modified 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 that we went down this path right it did a lot of wonderful things but it streamlined high cost not the least of which is basically to. marginalize nasa now the other question which should be i 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 indeed we had any time to pick up rocks well ok but don't don't

cause and. 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. they 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 it'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 ok they'll 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 they will bomb a is finding out 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 my words are ok if i were premier i'd say we're going to go back to the moon. not i'm not czar not premier think about the average age of a team on the ground in twenty four and looking back at it 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 where 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. the management listened to the younger people.

i'm not sure i could say the same about the sylvia thank you very much for this interview nice to be with you silver. wealthy british style the sun comes out on. the. market. it's going to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into the report. if you're followed up on my debt snowball the.

race and awful pretty good in the race so i knew it was a quick time but it was such a sense of relief because every race you go out you want to time and you don't get it but you're close and you're closer and closer and into fanmi achieve it i think you know it's a bit surreal but. i don't expect to make an olympic final. if you look at the times the goals are running. 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 a 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 lords among those hosting events two time olympic gold medalist laura sebastian coe knows the job is not done and comparing the current state of preparations in race terms. it's midway back straight. on and from

a 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 how you come out of that. five hundred to six hundred is off to you know often determines how you come across the line. and back to federal finally where the russian premier league restarted last friday after a three week break and new boys f.c. combined will be aiming to rediscover their early form which saw them in the hunt for european qualification our team caught up with their boss for much else a great down to tresco who shared his thoughts on big wages and the world cup twenty eighteen among other issues. i'm hearing crossland to me of former chelsea star and current head coach of local side combined with the ask. me to his a very busy man and said he would as many questions as i score penalties so here

goes. well then has a kind side and he is going to answer a few questions despite my mrs dunn you left chelsea three years before i'm on about 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. in this time i was not in the good. relationship with the coach who was yelling at them i had to leave but i was sorry for sure because after the two years i lived chelsea won the championship you spearheaded the only team which played in the champions league so whether you decide to make a move to combine a team which has been just relegated the owner of the club and the government to

the region. especially in the media for me three times in my house on these me to come here i think that was going to cities and in the club i was working i was sure it is going in the other direction because if you need the money and in this moment this club need to disappear from for good and i think i do that i think the thing to. to move in the right time before they come to burn they had five coaches in one year and they was going to be scared about the situation but they said they want to change something and they've even though in the last three games in the road and there was the pressure a little bit last year i know that the owner of the club said. that risk want to be the new fed was sort of the bottom and he'll trust me do you thing that the world twenty teams can change something in this i'm sure i'm kind of percent sure after the world cup that i shall be much better not just in the national team it also in the club competition and they will learn

a lot from this and it's good for the country because it'll be a new stadium of snow airports new streets new hotels i think it's fantastic for russia that the world cup will be here and i wish after the world cup i'll be russia because that'll be the time to be here how do you think chelsea will do next season. i think everything will depends what the transfer will be as much as the might of these really strong and they already been buying two or three players at the moment chelsea is doing nothing and even if they change their coach all of the course you know change the needles in my opinion some players to win the champions league and put the type. thank you very much it's been a pleasure. and as late as this fall for now well weather update is coming up shortly stay with us.
