lucky enough to take the picture that maybe define. 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 do you know where the even looking through a tiny little hole in the universe there's millions of go accies 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 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 was a second rate when certainly the soviets now the russians. with the sputnik in.

the missile gap remaking america look really bad when you think of that garrett want us to symbolize 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 but he was the first to get up there i think. that makes him and the russia and soviet union. something they could really be proud of now us that if it hadn't been for the russians wouldn't have had public support for the taxes that were required to beat those comments as an air force pilot how did the cold war motivate you well i was chasing when 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 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 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 the moon first now have to ride on russian rockets. the space shuttle was supposed to cost one tenth per pound orbit in the saturn five modified modified it cost ten times now 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 costs 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 seemed 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. that our job was to 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. 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 it was 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. 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 is finding out that maybe they won't. 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 premier when you think about the average age of a team on the ground 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 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. management listen to the younger people. not sure i could say the same about the soul get thank you very much for this

a drasko who shared his thoughts on big wages and the world cup twenty thousand among other issues. i am here to me a 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 scored belt is so here goes. well like luke 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 when sky high and the blues finally a won the league. i think it was about time for me to leave the club but i didn't know at the time that a bit of which 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 two years i lived chelsea 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 the owner of the club and the governor to the region. especially in romania for me three times in my house to convince me to come here that i think that was a fantastic reason and in the club i was working i was sure it is going in the wrong direction because they finish the money and in this moment this club disappear from football and i think i did the right thing to move in the right time before they come to bonn they had five coaches in one year and i was a little bit 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 bomb 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 what also in the club competition and they will learn a lot from this and it's good for the country because they'll be new stadiums new 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 to replace. but the woman. is doing nothing and even use it as a coach only the course cannot change it from in my opinion something has to win the champions league and put in the pipe thank you very much has been
