passed over by the international. or next we take you back in time and space to nasa apollo thirteen mission which famously failed to mend on the moon because of a technical failure of all three crewmembers did return safely to earth and l.t. sophie shevardnadze caught up with the mission's commander for his memories of those events. jim low 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 on it is that fair while the first time was deliberate we were merely going to test out the navigation of the communications look for suitable landing spots for the people who would make the

first lady 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 from a mile 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 elling spiraling. to get home sick to join to go back. no as a matter of fact we were here around the eight and going around thirteen and 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 thumb up and hide everybody. and of course that incredible shot of the earth rights 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 a 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 ever 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 the on apollo eight we had very strong religious convictions right well we did but we were not that religious to know that. you know that there were violated 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 the way we were read the first ten verses of genesis the old tested but 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 moon what can we say and we said lady who was the wife of a adieus paper reporter said read the first 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 all the religions too so that's what we did to appeal to the greatest of a lot of people that were listening to the whole science behind this saturn launch it 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 biles away from everyone and we had 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 you have to have faith that. the faith that god would be on your side is faith in your fellow band who built that saturn five who built the spacecraft who designed the trajectory of the launch that everybody do what they're doing and that everything would be ok you would never get on top of a saturn five booster if you did 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 first of all that who have to see the earth as there really is and the joy what they had and when i got gary made his first flights and nine hundred sixty one year already rejected by not someone's how do you feel about the twelfth of april nineteenth sixty one well 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 tempted to try that but we were behind it as a matter of fact what really woke up the american people was but because nine hundred fifty seven up to that time we didn't realize how far advanced at that time the silvia's were they had rocket technology and then we got started of course they

had developed their booster the put it to it and it's amazing. throughout the years. the booster the rocket and the put up eureka carob is the same one today with a lot more modifications 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 hair we build. rockets said then we don't belittle go to something else we build this and now our shuttle is stopping this year. as the russians have taken a different tack that they build what they've learned and keep expanding that and pretty soon now that the turtle as funny stuff is surpassing the here what has been carrying the present team but if it's in the last team well i think. why 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 has a really. simple and it is that a really a shame that he he bet is his demise. 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 a broken 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 here returns you have to control the space ship manually and cap make all the

calculations right there when did you know that you were safe. well we only knew we were safe. we saw water splashing over the window but spent we were back of the ocean and the spacecraft that saw. 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 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 the charges were put out the persians what goes through your mind when you don't really know when you going to land more you can explode is it are you so mobilized that you not even you don't even have time to fear that or 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 you know failure. we'll worry about that if a failure occurs but not until that time so we're pretty so straightforward what we're doing and 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 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 less questions but i think i'm often off to retire now you are a successful businessman but many of them couldn't really find their place in life after that fate i retired from active duty a lot of them suffered clinical depression alcoholism why is that why is it that when often it's retired 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 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 went to the moon 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 and the season and so a lot of us of course prabal were to look at the earth after we say that 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 had 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 as 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 the doesn't doesn't thrill me anymore but. that maybe there be some commercial operations where people start you know go and take

him for their own honeymoon trips around the earth thank you very much for this interview for my pleasure tucker. some. of your thoughts toward. the street still keeps secrets. to reveal the shooting of the soviet files on.
