reputation as the world's creditor has been severely damaged. and russia says if you own action can help bring an end to violence in syria but once against excessive pressures that could lead to a real good solid experts stress the e.u. and american sanctions being enforced against the masochist are only making matters worse. as the voice of tens of thousands of randy government protesters an easy calling for the prime minister to stand down are going on for forty by the international media. and next we take you back in time and space in the famous apollo thirteen mission which failed to land on the moon because of a technical failure however all three nasa crew members managed to return to earth safely largely sophie shevardnadze caught up with the commander of the mission for his recollect of events that interview is up next.

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

mean once i was you know safely back on earth i just forgot about it when you spoke about the moon you spoke of past the loneliness that was inspiring. you can't homesick because you wanted to go back. you know as a matter of fact we were around the age and going around and thirteen we were still sort of attached to the earth or 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 the world will look back at the earth and we can put our earth to the window and everything behind arthur our earth was was disappeared and everything that we've ever known was behind her thought it was that's sort of a usual feeling a feeling of how insignificant really we all are back on earth i could put my

thought up and hide everybody. and of course that incredible shot of the earth right so that's why the first to show us the earth i think for everyone it has a special personal meaning what does that chart signify to you. while i think of 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 statements photographs of the last century. again that we are a. spaceship here on earth and we're all astronauts whether we want to be here. and we have to live and work together if we are to survive thank you guys we're very religious. all three of you on apollo eight you had very strong religious convictions right well we did but we were not that religious and third know that.

you know that that we were a violating the sanctity of heaven. because god is with us on earth as it is with those two hundred forty thousand miles away around the moon and so as a as a better fact you know the way we were read the first ten verses of genesis of the old testament we did that because it reality the old testament was the basis of the three basic religions. earth islam christianity and judaism and so when we were thinking about what to say be the first three people around the room what can we say and we said the lady who was the right of way adieus paper reporter said read for the first to verses this will appeal to most of the people who will be listening to you and most of

the earth is not christian other religions do so that's what we did to appeal to the greatest amount of people that were listening to the spent the whole science behind the saturn launch was very cold and calculated and you said so many times in your interviews that we're just three guys sitting up 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 to space matter can you only be guided by reason or you have to have faith well you have to have faith and you have to have faith that civil rights and had the faith that god would be on your side of history through the. or phil band who built that set or fire who built the spacecraft who designed the trajectory and lost that everybody do what they're doing and that

everything would be real k. you would never get on top of the saturn five booster if you didn't have faith of the people who go through what you see is the right stuff what does it take for someone to go in space i think the people who are astronauts are cars and it's. 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 start as first of all the who have see the earth as a really is and their the joy of what they had done and when gary made his first flights and one thousand and sixty one year already and we checked it by now someone's how do you feel about the twelfth of april in one nine hundred sixty one well i think i figured that. ever since but back then we knew what they were doing

. that that the russians would put somebody up into space. quite early on and we were tempted to try that the were behind it as a matter of fact that what really woke up the american people was cut back and i think fifty seven up to that time we didn't realize how far they had at that time to sylvia sawyer he had rocket technology and then we got started of course they had developed their booster the put yuri up into it and it's amazing. throughout the years. the booster the locket and the put up your if you carol. is the same one today with a lot more lot of occasions that are put in astronauts and cosmonauts it to the international space station this is like the old story of the tortoise and the here

we seem to be the hair we build a rock has said then we don't build up to go to something else so we build this and now our shell is stopping this year were as the russians have taken a different tack they build what they have learned and keep expanding that and pretty soon now that the kernel is funny kissed up to the supremacy they hear what i've been carrying the present team or if it's in the last team i think if you care is why is this a biology is something that. has really brought the world closer together i mean he was able to assert that they have a gate to the earth at tie everything together that i think that he was a breakthrough. a challenge that that he is already a symbol and it is. a really a shame that he you bet is it is the buyers so early in life now when you were

going to fly to the moon and the second time were you anxious i c s 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 program leg or something like that i was also at the go but i wanted to actually cure sort of close up my fly space career planning on the golf course here returns you have to control the spaceship manually and cap make all the calculations right there when did you know that you're safe. well we already knew we were safe where. we saw water splashing over the window pushed back we were back of the ocean and the spacecraft had that suck suck that because every time from from the time of the explosion of all the way back there were certain prices that we had to overcome including

brother the persians will put up because they pyrotechnics to put out the parachutes have had cold soap for four days and we did know where the the explosions of the charges were put out the persians what goes through your mind when you don't really know what they need to know land or even expo is it are you so immobilized that you not even you don't have time to fear that form 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 month step at a time our minds are concentrated on what the next step is going to be what we have to do and we don't worry about hell failure. we'll worry about that if a failure occurs but not until that time so we're pretty straightforward what we're doing and and thinking about our players could 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 came back and said say again please i then said here's to we have had a problem and that there's rules to story about that of course where they made the movie. they had tom hanks say and he said we have a problem to ask questions but i think i'm often off the retire now you are a successful businessman but many of them couldn't really find their place in life after the fate i retired from active duty a lot of them suffered pinnacle depression alcoholism why is that why is it that when often it's retired they can't 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 where that high point stops and you come back down to live a normal life again a lot of times it's hard to recover because many people will say yes i understand what you did but what can you do for me now and so. to be successful you have to always look forward not to look backward yes i wanted to remove the price i paid for space flights that was of the past but i do it now what how can i satisfy my life and enjoy life there and see things and so a lot of us of course problem our were to look at the earth that we see there so far what do you think of the moon when you see it now well it doesn't have the roll

bands for me that i had what could go for i went to the moon. i was pretty close to it right now sometimes i wish i could cope. and actually big the landing party was a space tourist maybe as a space tourist yeah. now i think i would if i just go around the earth i've been there all the time and still that doesn't doesn't thrill me anymore put that maybe there be some commercial operations where people start you know and going take in their honeymoons of trips around the round the earth thank you very much for the sinking for my pleasure take care.
