i can recall and i think it was apollo -- i think it was apollo xiv. i think it was ed mitchell. you guys sure you're right with those numbers or something like that? he meant it as a joke. but i think the message was there. >> as i recall, from the questions at the time, the crew didn't really get a good visual look at moon until they got very close to it because of the attitude of the spacecraft. >> that is exactly right. they saw it fairly far out, and once they started getting closer and got into position for the injection burn and all that, they didn't see much of it. and so it was a leap of faith. a lot of people don't understand, i've explained this to folks, that this problem was a little bit like a guy shooting a shotgun, shooting a clay pigeon moving across in front of him that the moon was in orbit. in our vehicle we actually had to aim out this way and let the two collide, rendezvous, if you will. and it just intuitively you think there could be a lot of room for error and it turns out that we had learned early on in ranger and some of those -- voyager and things like

which was apollo 11. now what you do not know is that back up a couple of years, 1967. >> this is the story want you to tell quickly. >> the lunar comes off the assembly line, one, two, three, four, five, they are all over weight. for a landing. >> yours was? >> well number five was overweight. >> accept the manager wanted his wanted to land on the moon so he thought he could adjust the books a little bit and trim a little weight here and there. he went to see the program manager george, if if i can reduce the weight will you let it be a lander? of course i will. and so, because we like to have at least a one more landing opportunity before the end of the decade. so, land five reduce the weight and it became the space craft that apollo 11 had. had he not reduce the weight, the first land they would have been lunar module six, apollo 12, mid-september. it did not happen that way. my good friend davis,. >> he's the one that was dedicated the book too. the dedication i dedicate this this to the dreamers, the

this is actually from the apollo 11 landing.he flotation collar, which would keep the capsule steady as it was bobbing there in the waves. and steady enough that the hatch could be opened and the crew members could crawl out. and then at the top, these spheres would inflate if the capsule landed upside down, and bring it rightside up. and in fact, that's what happened with the apollo 11 landing. it splashed down, tipped over, and the spheres had to inflate and right it. what would happen then is an helicopter from an aircraft carrier would fly over to the capsule. they knew where it was going to land, and so an aircraft carrier was waiting there with a recovery team. the helicopter would launch with divers, frogmen, aboard. they would drop down into the water, attach the collar, and then open the hatch and assist the crew in getting out. put them into a harness or a basket so they could be lifted up to the helicopter, and then the helicopter would fly everyone back to the carrier deck. and the crew would then get their medical c

it has a companion space craft, the apollo command module. and the command module, its service module and lunar module together carried three astronauts, neil armstrong, buzz aldren and michael collins to the moon. the command module very significantly also brought them back safely. this lunar module is an actual lunar module that never flew in space. it's lunar module two. it was intended to be used in an earth orbital test flight but the test was canceled as unnecessary. so nasa transferred this lunar module to the national air and space museum. it consists of two parts, the base, which has the legs, and the rocket engine in it and then oddly shaped top, which is the crew module or crew cabin, and this was attached to the command module for the flight from earth to lunar orbit and once in lunar orbit, the two crew members who would descend to the surface, armstrong and aldren, climbed into the lunar module, it's separated from the command michael where michael collins stayed to orbit the moon and began its descent down to the surface. >> 30

in the heyday of the 1960's and the apply program, >> apollo program -- apollo program, i get instinct is that we as a community hold that moon landing way forward out of sequence from where it should have been. it was a gigantic effort with ways should have been impossible and they pulled it off without really any potential power, still using slide rules. they cannot numerically model the computers. a lot of these important processes a combustion and set the rocket engine which is still hard today but we can do it a little bit. it did not have competition flow dynamics. everything had to be done in a wind tunnel. nothing on the computer. i think the reason we have taken a hiatus may be in part because it is, we pulled that forward to a time when it should have been impossible and once it was done, we kind of had to wait to let technology catch-up. the reason the blue origin and spacex and virgin galactic and these companies, these private companies, the only reason that we can do this kind of endeavor at all is because we are standing on the shoulders of nasa who invented all of this

one of the wonderful things about the apollo program was what john f. kennedy said we , want a man on the moon by the end of the decade. simple. that you about that, do not understand. we all understood what it was and what we were supposed to do. and we need something similar to that today. i do not know what that is. as i say, i have every hope. i think mars is the focus we should have. but whatever it is you want to do, you need a lot of support from the president of the united states. you have to have the feeling that he is a man or a woman that thinks about space, likes the exploration of space, thinks it is a worthwhile investment for the government and puts it high on the priority list. regardless of parties and who you like or do not like, we have not had that personal involvement of a president, i do not think since john f. kennedy. but it was a wonderful help for us. as the president said, there it is. it is stark, outlined, and off you go. mr. collins: -- mr. rubenstein: jeff, what would you do? called? president just like darpa has done with

so when this museum opened in 1976, we were wrapping up a golden age of human exploration with the apollo missions to the moon, and we were launching into the first golden age of planetary exploration with the missions of the 1970s to mars and to the outer planets. we're now in another golden age of planetary exploration, particularly on mars with curiosity rover so actively exploring there. so we're right in the present moment here when we're with the mars rovers. and i wonder what we might see here in ten years or 20 years as planetary exploration continues with great success, we hope. and there is much talk about having a human mission to mars by about 2030 or so. if that should happen, that will probably be the stellar attraction in the museum by the time the next major anniversary rolls around. >>> we're back live now at the smithsonian national air and space museum where the museum today is celebrating its 40th birthday. it was 40 years ago today that president gerald ford dedicated this museum. in about a half hour, we'll bring you live coverage of the events celebrating that anniv
