aldrin will follow just 20 minutes later, but armstrong will take the first step.he mission of apollo 11, a journey certainly for the history books. a beginning of man's greatest adventure, leaving this planet to set foot on the moon. >> 61, verify. >> cs-18. >> switch is on. verify light. >> roger. >> all stations stand by to give a crew departure status at this time. >> rcs. >> go. >> bse. >> go. >> sds. >> go. >> sts. >> go. >> verify all. >> number 2 and 3 levels. >> roger. >> 214. >> roger. go for crew departure. >> roger. you are go for crew departure. >> all right. >> the dawn of this day heralded the dawning of a new age. it's a time of exhilaration, reflection, hope, fulfillment as a century's old dream starts toward reality. >> this is apollo launch control. t-minus three hours, four minutes, 32 seconds and counting. right on time as far as the countdown is concerned. the crew departing from their crew quarters from the kennedy space center. [ applause ] astronauts neil armstrong, buzz aldrin and finally mike collins plus their suit technicians and direct

by the time he sat down to what we all know to be tranquility base, armstrong and aldrin had 17 seconds of fuel left remaining. it's incredible. so, today we -- we remember the service and the accomplishments of apollo 11 and of its commander, neil am strormstrong. but we also do well to remember his courage and that steely professionalism that saw him through an entire career of incredible accomplishment and saw that mission to a safe landing and return home. the debt this nation owes to our apollo astronauts, including the man who wore the suit that we unveil today, we can never fully repay, but today is an installment, the american people have expressed their gratitude by preserving this symbol of courage. and i'm told when the smithsonian institution launched the kickstarter campaign to preserve this valuable piece of american history they raised $500,000 in five days to do it. and i also understand for those looking on that because of the success of this initiative, the reboot the suit campaign set an additional goal and now has raised more than $750,000 from people all over the co

so armstrong and aldrin were backup to apollo 8. collins had had neck surgery but was restored to flight status and so when it came to 11, they were by normal rotation the prime crew and you have to remember, it was not at all given that apollo 11 would be first. it was going to be the first attempt, but there were lots of things that could happen if -- to make it not successful. and then i think the nasa management recognized that the piloting skill and the personality of neil armstrong made him an ideal person to be first. >> what is it about that personality that strikes most? >> steady, calm, solid, exuding confidence, not calling attention to himself, a true leader of the team. the kind of personality that neil demonstrated after the mission, and i'll get a cheap shot in here, and was not portrayed in the first man movie. i don't think that was an accurate portrayal of the neil armstrong i knew. >> good morning. >> good morning, america. i had the pleasure of visiting the kennedy space center twice, once when i was four, and ba

onboard apollo 11 astronauts neil armstrong michael collins and edwin buzz aldrin had a goal mankind had not yet reached to fly to the moon 5 days later in the early morning of july 21st neil armstrong uttered his unforgettable words. or their. armstrong and aldrin spent a total of 2 and a half hours on the surface of the moon as they collected rock samples and raised the american flag they were watched live by $600000000.00 people only a few of them were aware that the successful moon landing was hanging by a thread in now says mission control center in houston cap com charge. the duke had direct radio contact with neil armstrong. now 82 years old he can still have a car the dramatic moments. we get very very tight all fuel our coal 60 seconds which many as 60 seconds to land i call 30 seconds the teachin is rising in mission control you could hear a pin drop and we were holding our breath will we make it i called 30 seconds and then 30 seconds later he landed but it was very very tight. and very close to overboard. yet the 1st lunar landing was a success. 3 years later charlie duke

aldrin given the mission of i might retire myself in 10 years' time and i'm not sure i'll be able to survive on what mccall is proposing is that simple. however by thursday afternoon scenes from paris city center showed increasing violence groups of protesters smashed store windows and clashed with police among them members often anarchist group the so-called black bloc the violence made visible to frustration many strike supporters feel with the french government. and they keep it off that is it goodness is i want to say honey it's who is the one class who paid the price for the cuts unacceptable the fact that there's money there the people in power the capitalists have to pay it off they know how to find money for not for the deals they've turned the world upside down and they want us to pay but we don't agree with that you went on in the political. the general strike was called by trade unions to protest the government's plans for pension reform many fear it would increase their work time and reduce their pensions to strike has received widespread supports. several forces united f

buzz aldrin thinks the next moon shot's a mars shot to go to mars.t there are many people that think we need an earth shot, something here on the planet to take care of our oceans and our environmental degradation of our forest and wetlands and wildlife corridors. >> some other of the subjects doug has written about in his career. and ladies and gentlemen, in our audience the title of this book is "american moonshot: john f. kennedy and the great space race." doug brinkley, the author, thank you for your kindness over the years. it's great to see you. good luck with the book. >> thank you, brian. >>> coming up, americans by choice. we hear words of gratitude and sacrifice from career public servants who made serving the united states their mission in life after the united states offered them a place to call home. red them a place to call home there's a lot of talk about value out there. but at fidelity, value is more than just talk. we offer commission-free online u.s. stock and etf trades. and, when you open a new fidelity brokerage account, your ca

buzz aldrin soon followed him out the door.chael collins was circling above in their ride home the command module. we're glad to be joined by doug brinkl brinkley. it's great to see you. sick of you watching on another network. very happy for you. i have read and finished the book. let's start with how crazy it sounds today that this thing -- i said basketball. somewhere between basketball and beach ball showed up in the skies over this country. it scared a lot of people in this country, including my late parents, and it scared president john f. kennedy. >> absolutely. i mean dwight eisenhower was president, and he kind of tried to just say it wasn't that big a deal. some people were calling it a grapefruit satellite. but lo and behold with the headline you just showed on "the new york times," a panic kind of swept the land. this was the era of mccarthyism, red scare, and the idea that the soviets had a nuclear weapon they detonated in 1949 and had hydrogen weapons and now are beating us into space with satellites, and jack ken

buzz aldrin would follow along about 20 minutes later from that.t mission, when the astronauts left the moon july the 21st of 1969 and returning to earth july 24, 1969. we'll talk about the historical significance. we'll talk about what it means for space flight today and also as we hear from historian, astronauts and the like we'll hear from you, too, and you can call and let us know the impressions, 202-748-8000 and 202-748-8001. this program is being done today in conjunction with our colleagues with american history tv and if you don't know, c-span3 on the weekends turns into that channel with historical programming, lectures and the like and also they have a way of talking to you about the 50th anniversary. you can -- if you want to share your impressions on their specific facebook and that's c-span history at facebook.dom. you can participate on twitter. there is a poll there atc-span history is how you do that and ahtv will give you programming specifically related to apollo 11 and watch that on c-span3. if you go to their website page you c

i never will forget when buzz aldrin said we were picking up dust, he did that a little less than 100 and that is when i thought, "we will make it." when they first touched down, it was a great relief. i remember being proud — we did it! neil told me one time, "it's like an automobile, when it is on empty, there is a little bit left in the tank." neil went down the ladder, the television picture was pretty grainy, but we could basically tell what he was doing. i think everybody was just awestruck, and there was very little being said in that room. he first actually got down to the footpath, and he was standing there, i think he was collecting his thoughts, and i think he wanted to make sure that he was calm enough and not too excited, which he never was. then he took the one small step. i remember thinking, you knew he would come up with something profound. buzz came after him. when they planted the flag and talked to the president, i heard these two guys standing on the moon — wow, it worked. it kind of amazes me, 50 years later today, you realise what we did? flight controller gerry

when we think of the space race we often think of legendary astronauts, neil armstrong, buzz aldrin and john glenn. what many people forget is they were part of a a larger story. when i became chairman i had the privilege to meet the chairman of the fcc during the early part of the kennedy administration here to me the most interesting part of our conversation was his description have the fcc when he was chair helped to spur the beginning of the u.s. commercial space industry. he believed putting satellites into space was more important and putting a human being into space. as he put it, key medication satellites are more important than sending a man into space because they will launch ideas and ideas will last longer than men and women. that's the way i see it from the 21st century. we are setting the stage for a new space age. there's no telling what kind of innovation can be realized for the benefit of american and, indeed, global consumers if we put in place the right policies. i look forward to working with you to do that and to help companies here and around the world sees the opp

aldrin given the knish by my free time myself in 10 years' time and i'm not sure i'll be able to survive on what my car is proposing it's not simple. the protests shut down public schools nationwide subway stations across paris were closed and 9 out of 10 high speed trains were canceled many of the capital's most famous tourist attractions was shot leaving tourists frustrated but strike supporters say the measures are necessary due to the frustration they feel with the french government they get with all of that is it going to he says i want to say that money it's always the $1.00 class who pay the price of the cuts on acceptable that's a fact if there's money there the people in power are capitalists have to pay you duffy they know how to find money for not make deals it is they've turned the world upside down and they want us to pay even but we don't agree with that you went on in the political trade unions called a strike over the government's pension plans many fear the proposals would increase their work time and reduce their pensions polls have seen high public support for the stri

judy was over there helping buzz aldrin when he suited up. her friend anne montgomery. and her friend we were sprinkled around and yet somehow or another we were part of the team. apollo 11 was just such a great, great team, and so unified. and i think one of the most inspiring things to me in watching, and every time i see it again, the landing itself, i think of not only the landing itself, i think of not only our country unified, but the planet. cared. i remember watching the landing with my husband. i was on holiday in the gulf of mexico with him. and we saw the views from walter cronkite all around the world people caring so much. i thought it was wonderful. and that launch launched my career. it was my first launch. i had been there working on propellant loads and other activities, but they did not let me sit there at liftoff. there was always a man at that console. my boss went to bat and got permission for me to sit there. and all of a sudden it made a difference. i got seen by everybody. "well, she has been working here for 10 years, isn't it about time? " so t

you're about to see behind the scenes images of neil armstrong, buzz aldrin, and michael collins in theng the apollo missions. it's a truly unique film experience, so sit back, relax, and get ready for lift off.

she sat with the aldrin at the table. she's just amazing. >> she's like trying to connect with everyone. >> reporter: her son who got to meet the presidential candidate says it is momentous even though he doesn't know yet which candidate he is supporting. >> i didn't really expect like to come face-to-face with a presidential candidate. much as to shake a hand. >> reporter: santa clarita supervisor also attended the event. california is really an important state and somehow, i feel like a lot of people come to california to raise money but not to know e community but so this is fresh. >> reporter: she left about doing a 30 afternoon without taking any questions. this is part of an endorsement process and other and other candidates including bernie sanders, others planned for the future. in e san jose, maureen naylor, ktvu fox 2 news. >>> legendary radio host don imus died. he hosted the show i was in the morning. the broadcaster was known for always wearing a cowboy hat in the air. here to from the show in 2008 in discuss

i'm going to ask the question that prince philip was trying to ask buzz aldrin and the crown. up there maybe the first time, did you have a moment where you reflected on our own humanity. it's inconceivable that others not like elsewhere in the universe. it's not likely to have a bmw and it Ãbbut the ingredients we now understand how rudimentary the ingredients of life can be in the crazy range of exotic and harsh environments life can exist that we would have thought. we discovered life on this planet in an environment where it would never have been believed even when i was in college right here on this planet in the dc. i don't think you can have this experience without having some expansion and shift in your frame of reference. you see your home planet, you can see your hometown you sort of see places you come from that you never see in the context before. at the same time, you are in this place it feels very much normal to you. sort of this odd schizophrenia to be floating over the earth looking down at cities lit up at night and the bright sun still shining on the spacecr

we were sitting watching neil armstrong and buzz aldrin descend to the surface of the moon. i was mesmerized by that, but still no interest whatsoever. it took a person to really get me interested in the space program, and that was the late and great dr. ron mcnair, who personally inspired me and embarrassed me into submitting my application for the astronaut program because he reminded me of something my mom and dad told me all the time growing up in south carolina, that you can do anything you want to do if you are willing to work and put your mind to it. i had forgotten that. ron asked me, when he asked if i was going to apply for the program, and i told him, not on your life. he looked at me strange and said, why not? i said, they would never pick me. he said, that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard. [laughter] mr. bolden: how do you know if you don't ask? so i was challenged and i did, but i was inspired by apollo becoming part of the program, and i was most inspired in my almost eight years as a nasa administrator when i learned that people who have no clue of rock
