protests demanding sweeping economic reform. international. those are the headlines when we take you back in time and space to a famous apollo thirteen mission which didn't fail to land on the moon because of a technical glitch however old crew members did return safely to earth. caught up with the mission. memories of the events. it's a great pleasure and honor to have you with us it's nice to be here now you've started out for the moon twice without ever landing is that fair well the first time was

deliberate the way we were merely going to test out the navigation of the communications look for a 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. jr moonwalk 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 for a while 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 fast loneliness dallas and were inspiring. to get homesick to join to go back. no as a matter of fact were around the eight and going around thirteen we were still sort

of attached to the earth but 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 thought our earth was was disappeared and everything that we'd 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 thought up and hide everybody. and of course that incredible shot of the earth right you guys went to france to show us they aren't i think for everyone it has a special personal meaning what does that shot 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 the most famous photographs of the last century. again that we are a. space ship here on earth and we're all astronauts whether we want to be or not and we have to live and work together if we are to survive because you guys were 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 to know that. you know that 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 upon the way we were read the first ten verses of genesis of the old tested but 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 being the first three people around the boom what can we say and we said lady who was the wife of a adieus paper reporter said read for the first head verses this will appeal to most of the people who will be listening to you and most of the earth is not christian it's other religions too so that's what we did to appeal to the greatest a lot of people that were listening to us kept the whole science behind this saturn launch was very cold and calculated and you said so many times in your interest that we're just three guys sitting up five million pounds of high explosives and

three in piles away from everyone and we had faith it's just a question of when you go in 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 in the. fellow band who built that saturn five who built the spacecraft who designed the trajectory and launched that everybody knew what they were to do and that everything would be ok you would never get on top of a saturn five booster if you didn't have faith of the people who built it what would you say is the right stuff what does it take for someone to go in space i think the people who are astronauts are caused by knots. 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 and cosmonauts and the people who are here today at the starbucks festival that who have to see the earth as there really is and the joy of what they had done and when god gary made his first flights and one nine hundred sixty one you're already rejected by nasa once how do you feel about the twelfth of april nineteenth sixty one life i figured that ever since but back then we knew what they were doing. that. the russians would put somebody up into space. quite early on and we were attempting to try that the were behind it as a matter of fact it was really woke up the american people it was public and making fifty seven up to that time we didn't realize how far danced at that time the

soviets or he had rocket technology and and then we got started of course they had developed their booster to put it to it and it's amazing. throughout the years. the booster the locket and the put up your you could carry a. 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 hare we seem to be the hare we build. rockets said then we don't build up to go to something else so we build this and now our shuttle is stopping this year where as the russians have taken a different tack they build what they have learned and keep expanding that and pretty soon now that the turtle has funny test up to the surpassing the here what

has been carrying the present team what i see from the last team well i think. is this a biology is something that. has really brought the world closer together i mean he was able to circumvent the gate to the earth and tie everything together and i think that it was a breakthrough. a challenge that that he is really. simple and it is that a really a shame that he he bet is it is to use 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 broke a leg or something like that i was all set to go but i wanted to actually cure sort

of close up my flying in space career plan and now of course here returns you have to control the space ship manually and cap make all the calculations right there when did you know that you're safe. well we only knew we were safe where. we saw water splashing over the widow 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 of all the way back there were certain crisis that we had to overcome including whether the parachutes will put up because the pyrotechnics to put it out the parachutes had been cold sold for four days and we did know where the the explosions of the charges were put out the persian whether through your mind when you don't really know what are you going to land or even explode is it are you still mobilized to eat you not even you don't have time to fear that form what goes

through your mind at that point 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 and 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 are did 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 houston we have had

a problem and that's israel's true 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. when i think of austin austin retired 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 clinical depression alcoholism why is that why is it that when awesomeness 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 go 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 now and so. to be successful you have to always look forward not to look backward yes i went to the bone twice i've made four spaceflights that was of the past what am i doing now what how can i satisfy my life and enjoy life as it sees it and so a lot of us of course problem were to look at the earth after we see that so far what do you think of the moon when you see it now well it doesn't have the romance for me that i 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 you guys 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 that doesn't doesn't thrill me anymore but. that

maybe there be some commercial operations where people start you know going take it there are honeymoon trips around the round the earth thank you very much for this and. my pleasure take care.

the russian premier league's had of security have a hand paul policing has been the main cause of football violence in russia hooliganism in grounds is up fifty percent on last year and police and being encouraged to let stewards look after security at games here is a rich and awful fit with more and that. seems like this should become a regular occurrence at stadiums across russia this season supporters response. in petersburg unama have been the main culprits however of a russian premier league head of security believes heavy handed policing the root cause of most of these problems. the main problem we are facing is with the organization of games different styles of policing the quality of the stadiums and other factors can have a massive impact on the way fans behave if the police act in a civilized way towards the fans then there is no source of provocation. meeting of

mates fair is a problem of hooliganism in russia those states but this is also a problem amongst a number of countries in europe however the spotlight is clearly on russia to clear up it sounds as if they will host the world cup in two thousand and eighteen. and the russian premier league head of security once to say a complete change in the way security is don't live in stadiums across the country . we are very interested in the police playing a much smaller role in organizing security at football games in russia we need to train security personnel and stewards to carry out this job the police should not try to provoke the situation but rather try and work with the fans both parties need to work together the police have been seen as the main cause of the problem by russian football fans who have long called the stewards to be the sole security force in the country stadiums than the police's chief of public security who spoke about the matter last week it meets but something has to be done. with very

interested in the police playing a much smaller role in organizing security of football games in russia we need to train security personnel and stewards to carry out this job the police should not try to provoke the situation but rather try and work with the fans by the parties need to work together. things are slowly starting to improve does he need some petersburg fans who through have been on the rebirth or carlos has been found and banned from the stadium vote he will not face any criminal proceedings however unfortunately a similar incident happening tomorrow and the perpetrator has yet to be called. but all in over is still a very long way to go until football in russia will become an activity where parents would not think twice about taking their children to watch again but if we don't. all staying with football and ohio to go against it has come also has been voted as the best of the ball season in europe by a portuguese magazine and the strike chosen was set again those laws
