july 19th, "apollo 11" slows down and goes into orbit around the moon. the bright blue planet of earth now lies 238,000 miles beyond the lunar horizon. astronauts armstrong and aldrin now in the lunar module separate from the command module. astronaut collins remains behind. preparation for the lunar module descent to the moon now begins. the command module assumes the new name, "columbia." the lunar module will be called "the eagle." from "columbia" michael collins camera sees bright rays of the sun reflecting patterns of color from the surface of "the eagle." in this strange metallic bird rides the ancient and endless dream of all mankind. the command pilot can see detail which his camera cannot record. the four landing pads of the lunar module are fully dpended and locked in place. "the eagle" is prepared for its descent to the lunar surface. the moon landing craft rocket engine fires to slow it down and to place it on the pathway to the landing site in the sea of tranquillity. there's tension and caution as "the eagle" flies lower. warning lights bli

of course he is played by tom hanks and apollo 13.n jim was going into space one of his gemini flights maryland found out she was pregnant and she actually hid her pregnancy from jim first for a few months which is pretty remarkable, till he finally found out and she said well i'm sorry, i didn't want you to get bumped from a flight and he said good idea. we should keep it secret. i actually would like to open up the discussion to questions now because it's such a rich topic and i can talk a little bit more about what it was like going into these historic figures living rooms and what it was like getting to know them as well. if anyone has questions please do lineup. [inaudible conversations] >> in your book you talk about one of the episodes on one of the lunar landings when a camera didn't work and there was virtually sort of a cover-up because they didn't want to show that. i was wondering if he could go into that. >> sure. one of the most exciting things of course about walking on the moon and being on the moon for the guys and fo

people, if they know anything then no apollo 11.tell them about the story. >> well, you know jim and i was the bridge between mercury and apollo and it was the first spacecraft you could change robert with. with the mercury all they did was put it in orbit. once it was in orbit it had control jets. they could position their attitude but they couldn't do anything else. with germany they could fire a larger burst of rockets and change the orbital path. therefore they could talk with one another. things that had to have to go to the moon. they tried a couple of things. it didn't work. they lost a couple of the target rockets. so when he flew he flew geminate they get up. he practiced this. he had to work. he worked every way he cared to be able to catch this target and dock with it. nobody had done that. this is a big thing. they have problems doing it. it came off like clockwork. and we on go to bed. it night. everybody's feeling wonderful. well, they go of context of missing control. over china all of a sudden the spacecraft starts s

the incident you were just talking about was apollo 12, the second mission to the moon. alan bean had this television cameras a burgling to use to chronicle their journey and he by accident turned it into the sun, so it was burned out. the only transmission they were able to share with the public in real-time was the voices of the astronauts which are going into the wives's homes versus on the squawk boxes which are these baby intercom like space-age device is all the wives had at home but the networks are flipping out. we are not going to get our moon footage and we had big swaths of time allowed for it. what they did was nasa had some mockups of the moon where the guys would practice going through their routines for when they were up there so they outfitted some actors in space suits and had them sort of manic what pete conrad and alan bean or beeano as his friends call him or doing on the moon and it has only fuel the conspiracy theories that anyone who has anything to do with nasa including the wives think are absolutely ludicrous. i would like to tell you all how i

apollo blazes across the heavens coming back to earth at 20,000 miles per hour. president richard nixon who had talked with the astronauts by telephone while they were on the moon was waiting aboard the recovery carrier to welcome the returning voyagers. the president later expressed the nation's response to this historic mission. >> some way when those two americans stepped on the moon, the people of this world were brought closer together. that it is that spirit, the spirit of "apollo" that america can now help to bring to our relations with other nations. the spirit of "apollo" transcends geographical barriers and political differences, it can bring the people of the world together in peace. >> to protect against any possible lunar contamination the astronauts put on air tight special garments before coming on board the rescue ship. they transferred directly from the helicopter to a mobile quarantine van in which they would be flown back to houston, texas. july 27th, the journey was ended. they were home again. ♪ [ applause ] >> ahead lay three weeks of isolat

closest of any in apollo. >> host: why was he chosen as the commander? his first assignment because the backup commander and then commander. he never had to be the second pilot. why chosen as a commander for a pollo? >> the chief astronaut asked him to work with him in california. they had more confidence and there was a lot of talk going around they wanted a civilian and didn't want military but that had nothing to do with it. pete konrad would have been the next one and he could have handled it. nixson called neal up and said neal, i want you to know that if you have to abort you will get another chance to land on the moon. i don't want you taking chances to land because you think it is your only chance. and neal made the same promise to the other guys. he was smart enough to know after landing on the moon that was it. he wasn't going to get another shot because that is what kennedy did to john glen. after glen flew the first flight he would never have gotten a chance to fly. he is a national hero and you don't risk his life. and glen and kennedy were

the wives were on the cover of life dozens of times from 1959 to 1972 at the end of the apollo program. the wives had their first cover shoot and they are all going to be clustered around this mercury capsule, which when you see it today at the smithsonian, i mean this thing looks really flimsy and you can understand why his nickname was that can and you can understand how terrifying it would be to have your spouse right in that thing especially because many of the early tests launches have gone absolutely haywire with explosions and things just not going right until the last minute. .. where? and they decide to wear pink lipstick and everyone will wear a shirt waist dress except for run a carpenter, scott carpenter's life. usable character, intellectual, a really independent woman who will end up hosting her own feminist talk show in the mid 70s and looking sort of gloria steinem like in the dresses and skirts but she says according to the other wives i am not going to let the government tell me what to wear. we are astronaut wives now. our husbands are civilians, they are no longer m

of the big differences between now and apollo was we had to invent just about everything for apollo.ngs we need to invent really involved landing on the surface of mars and getting back off the surface of mars. the space station has proven that we have the technology to get to and from mars and to live on the surface. there is more testing to do. a lot of the propulsive and life support is in place. there is that last step of getting to the surface of mars and back off the surface. >> spacex has been talking about going beyond mars and dominating the solar system by 2100. do you think that is possible? >> i would never want to estimate elan musk. they do amazing things. i hope they are not the only ones. it would be a shame if there was this one a monopolistic company that dominated the solar system. i would hope that in good american tradition that several companies would be competing. they are certainly the leading -- leading the way. >> that was the chief technology officer. that does it for this edition of the best of "bloomberg west." throughcatch us monday friday. we will see y

photographs of the moon taken from a spacecraft only a few years after the ranger missions now this is apollo eleven carried the first ever human beings to the moon the crowning achievement for humanity today however fifty six years since the establishment of the american space agency the first space walks a lunar landing the cold war race to the moon are little more than a distant memory and their place is a view of nasa as a government agency like any other subject to budget cuts layoffs and congressional scrutiny and what cuts to funding for the agency continue to threaten its future projects are moving forward that do more than just reach for new worlds in fact many of the greatest discoveries in modern science today may not have even been possible without the commissioned research of nasa scientists unfortunately there are too many misconceptions about the agency that are holding back potential discoveries that could further propel humanity starting with the notion that nasa experiments are only relevant to space exploration this of course couldn't be farther couldn't be more wrong for e

i mean, you know, i was inspired by the "apollo" program, and this is just as cool. the fact that we've ronendezvoud with a comet and we're going to deploy a lander and actually land on this thing, that is huge. and so i can see it inspiring a lot of young people and hopefully a few of them will be encouraged to, you know, try a little harder and reach a little higher. >> meantime, though, not everyone thinks this is worth the money. what do you say to those in the u.s. and in europe who say it's not worth their taxpaying dollars? >> well, you know, i think that's a bit shortsighted. the fact is that human beings, we're explorers. we want to know what's on the other side of the mountain, what's over the hill, what's out there in space. and this -- you know, the money that's being spent on rosetta and programs like it, even human space flight is so small. even in the united states which spends the most, the largest percent of its gdp and gnp on space exploration, the nasa's budget is less than one half of 1% of the federal budget. so for that, we get all this benefit.
