gold watch here's a recap of the top stories here on our washington takes the first step to approving the long awaited fields with greece the u.s. debt and limits just the day before a potential devastating to. global stocks rally as the self-imposed crisis of america is a burden of confidence in the u.s. economy is reputation as the world's creditor has been severely down and. russia

says the u.n. action could help bring an end to violence in syria and once again successive pressures that could lead to a libya style in russia experts stress the e.u. what american sanctions being enforced against abbas goes are only making matters worse. the voices of tens of thousands of anti-government protesters in the news roll calling for the prime minister to stand down are going on reported by the international media the demonstrations to about big social justice are the biggest the function has seen in decades. and next we take you back in time and space to the famous apollo thirteen mission which failed to round all the moon because of a technical failure but altering also crew members managed to return to earth safely and artie's sophie shevardnadze caught up with the commander of the mission for his recollection of the events that's up next.

so. it's a great pleasure and honor to have you with us and it's nice to be here now you've started out for the moon twice without ever landing on it is that fair well the first time was deliberate we were merely going to test out the navigation of the communications and look for suitable landing spots for the people who would make the first lady and thirteen of course was supposed to be the third lunar landing mission and as you probably know we had the explosion and so we had to go around the boat and come back home again fortunately we were successful in doing that. in the uk in your dreams. before the flight i would try to figure out what i would be doing there at a place called. but i throw it back i never really dreamed about it after that i

mean i was you know safely back on earth i just forgot about it when you spoke about the moon you spoke of past loneliness tell us how inspiring. you get homesick to join to go back. no as a matter of fact we're here around the bull and eight and going run thirteen we were still sort of attached to the earth and we did have this idea of being you know. away from the earth and separated from the earth and although i have to admit that when we look back at the earth and we could put our thumb up to the window and everything behind our third our earth was was disappeared and everything that we've ever had known was behind or thought it was that's sort of a usual feeling a feeling of how insignificant really we all are back on earth if i could put my

thumb up and hide everybody and of course that incredible shot of the earth rights you guys were the first to show us they are and i think for everyone it has a special personal meaning what does that shot signify to you. well i think and that one photograph which was not over here my personal impression of what we saw but to everybody who saw that picture and is perhaps one of those things photographs of the last century. again that we are a. spaceship here on earth ever all astronauts whether we want to be or not and we have to live and work together if we are to survive thank you guys very bare religious all three of you on apollo eight you have very strong religious convictions right well we did but we were not that religious to know that.

you know that we were violating the sanctity of heaven. because god is with us on earth as it is with us just two hundred forty thousand miles away around the moon and so as a as a better fact you know i pod the way we have read the first ten verses of genesis the old testament we did that because it reality the old testament was the basis of the three basic religions. on earth islam christianity and judaism and so when we were thinking about what to say being the first three people around the boom what can we say and we said the lady who was the wife of a a newspaper reporter said read the first head versus this will appeal to

the people who will be listening to you and and most of the earth is not christian it's other religions too so that's what we did to appeal to the greatest amount of people that were listening to us now be full find a high end to saturn launch that was very cold. and calculated and you've said so many times in your interviews that we're just three guys sitting on five million pounds of high explosives and three in piles away from everyone and we have faith it's just a question of when you go on such a mission how much face how much does faith matter need only be guided by reason or you have to have faith well you have to have faith you have to have faith that's. the faith that god would be on your side is faith your fellow band who built that saturn five who built the spacecraft who designed the trajectory that everybody do with here to do here and that everything that we're ok you would never

get on top of a saturn five booster if you did have faith of the people who go for what you say is the right stuff what does it take for someone to go in space i think the people who are asked. they are people who live on the people who like to explore. people who like to see something different who like to open up new doors and these are the people that you know fired as astronauts cause and i said the people who are here today at the stardust festival that who have to see the earth as there really is and joy what they have done now and i'm very made his first flights and one nine hundred sixty one year old when we checked it by now someone's how do you feel about the twelfth of april nine hundred sixty one life i figured that. ever since but because we do what they were doing.

that that the russians would put somebody up into space. quite early of and we were tempted to try that we were behind as a matter of fact what really woke up the american people out was cut the cake and making fifty seven up to that time we didn't realize just how far advanced at that time the silvia's were he had rocket technology and then we got started of course they had developed their booster to put yuri up to it and it's amazing. throughout the years. the booster the rocket that put up your good care of is the same one the day with a lot more pot of occasions that are putting astronauts and cosmonauts it to the international space station this is like the old story of the tortoise and the hare

we seem to be the hair we build a rocket and then we don't build one who go to something else we build this and now our shuttle is stopping this year whereas the russians have taken a different tack they build what they have word and keep expanding that and pretty soon out of the the purple as funny to stuff a. it is surpassing the here but it's been carrying the present to you want to symbolize to you well i think good care is light that is this a biology is something that. has really brought the little closer together i mean he was able to circle the have a gate of the earth and tie everything together and i think that it was a breakthrough. a challenge that but he has really become a symbol and it is. a really

a save that he you bet is it is the buys so early in life now when you were going to fly to the moon and the second time are you anxious i said yes i was anxious because i wanted to do something i had always planned on doing and i was the backup on apollo eleven so if bill armstrong had become sick or broke a leg or something like that i was all set to go but i wanted to actually care sort of close up my fly space career plan and now of course your returns you have to control the space ship manually and cap make all the copulations right there when did you know that you're safe. well we already knew we were safe wed. we saw water splashing over the window but spent we were back of the ocean and the spacecraft that saw some of that because every time from from the time of the explosion all the way back there were certain prices that we had to overcome

including whether the persians will put up because the pyrotechnics to put out the parachutes have had cold soak for four days and we didn't know whether the the explosions the charges were put out the persian other through your mind when you don't really know whether you can a language more you can explode is it are you so mobilized that you're not even going to have time to fear that or what goes through your mind at that point and well i think our our training has got us in a position and a mindset that do we look at things one one step at a time our minds are concentrated on what the next step is going to be what we have to do we don't worry about failure. we'll worry about that if a failure occurs but not until that time so we're priest straight forward what we're doing and thinking about our attackers and you really say houston we have a problem the true story which seems to be. going around all the time never never

die is that where the explosion occurred jack's weicker first said hey houston. we have a problem here. the capsule communicator back and said say again please i then said he used to we have had a problem that's there's rules in the story about that of course where they made the movie. they have to say and you said we have across two last questions what i think of austin ought to retire where you are a successful businessman but many of them couldn't really find their place in life after they retired from active duty a lot of them suffered clinical depression alcoholism why is that why is it that when austin not retire they can always find the right way on earth. well

i think it's very similar to that old saying that after you've been perry what else is there you know. it is it's a high point in everybody's life and then when that high point stops and you come back to living a normal life again a lot of times it's hard to recover because many people say yes i understand what you did but what can you do for me. and so. to be successful you have to always look forward not to but backward yes i want to rebuild twice i've made four spaceflights that was in the past what am i doing now what how can i satisfy a bad life and enjoy life and the season and so a lot of us of course problem i'll work to look at the earth if we see that so far up what do you think of the moon when you see it now well it doesn't have the

romance for me that i see that had what before i went to the moon i was pretty close to it right now sometimes i wish i could go back and actually beat the landing but but that was way in the past but it was a space tourist maybe as a space tourist yeah. now i think i would if i could just go around the earth i've been there all the time and still think that there's a distance will be added or but the but maybe their base of commercial operations where people start you know going take it there honeymoons on trips around the around the earth thank you very much for the sensory pleasure take care.
