the scene was filmed by a camera attached to the outside of the lander. and would have been while i was climbing down and pulled the lever they'd open the storage banner which contained the black and white t.v. cameras. under school for you know that's how we got to see him climbing down the ladder and the need. of the lied to help them solve. armstrong was now the star of the 1st live global t.v. broadcast. the whole world was watching. that. picked up. the moon landing was not broadcast in the u.s.s.r. in 2010 cosmonaut alexei leonov described his reaction to armstrong's historic achievement. di di crossed my fingers and wished him all the best it was dangerous and i knew what could have gone wrong but he did his job brilliantly. 20 minutes after armstrong and buzz aldrin climbed down the ladder. armstrong took photos of his colleagues at the turning point in the history of space travel. i've never been a writer. armstrong and aldrin then examined the lunar lander for possible damage they also set up a quick trip to measure the moon's exact distance fro

look at apollo, we had one lender, one human lander -- one lander, one human lander, and because of that, there were major risks. apollo went to the moon when it was not ready. it took years, not years, months. the question is: how do we mitigate risk? and use what did not exist back then, commercial companies, that are willing to make their own investments. so there are a lot of variables at play. some companies want to invest as much as 30%, maybe even ore. so that helps us if they get selected. if they don't get selected company does not help us. e want to make sure they are capable of achieving the end state, but private companies want to make this investment. depending on how much they want to invest changes the number. the other thing is, do we want just one lander? the we want three? -- do we want three? in my view, which have at least three that are receiving support from commercial industries. and as time goes on, down to two. that used them motivated to be one of the two companies. that mitigates risk. if something goes wrong with one, the others go forward and we can stay on s

lander. the u.s. has not had a moon lander since 1972, the last time we landed on the moon. that is something we need to develop. we have commercial partners that have been investing their own money. we are thrilled about that. we have opportunities to achieve this goal because of the investments some of them have already made. a number of private companies have already invested money. that being said, it is not cheap to build a lander and they are looking for support from nasa and we want to be that support. we believe doing a public-private partnership is important and they will be able to have customers that are not nasa. so we can have more access for lesser cost and grow the space economy. that being said, if we end up in , the lander does not continue this get developed and we do not have money in the budget right now to develop a land. lander. it takes a good bit of time which is why we have to get started right away. >> to some people, a continuing resolution, level funding, it is way

but the lunar lander still needed work. in may 1969 the crew of apollo 10 took part in a dress rehearsal for the moon mission the astronauts tested all the equipment and procedures that would be involved in an actual landing. the flight that would place astronauts on the surface of the moon apollo 11 was now just 2 months away. armstrong was under enormous pressure as he revealed in a 2010 interview. this fun was. 1001 so that's a sure thing. because also. the u.s.s.r. was also working hard to put a man on the moon. alexei an experienced cosmonaut was chosen to command the 1st lunar landing mission. the soviets had been carrying out tests of the huge and one rocket that would carry the crew into space. but in july 1969 during a test launch the latest version of the rocket exploded shortly after liftoff. meanwhile in the u.s. nasa sought to personalize the space program by publishing photos of the astronauts with their families. as the scheduled date of the moon not to approach people around the world found a new interest in

the other thing is, do we want just one lander? do we want to have three landers? in my view, which have at least three that are receiving support from commercial industries. as time goes on, down select to two. that mitigates risk. if something goes wrong with one, the others go forward and we can stay on schedule. >> i did not artfully ask my question. butartfully answered it, what we are talking about is a five-year plan for artemis. i understand we won't have a five-year plan for everything nasa is going to do. we need to know how it is envisioned that money will be required into the future. you and the chairman had a conversation in today's hearing that i would highlight. none of this will work, and i need your assistance with the situation, the assistance of your former colleagues in the house -- if we pursue a more bold plan at nasa, we need a budget agreement that allows us to spend the money. is.r., as you indicated, devastating to this cost. -- this cause. i ask you to rally your friends and colleagues, many things we do care about will simply not occur i

to get to the moon pilot mike collins had to ignite an engine to the nearest 2nd and then down the lander ferry and separated from the rocket. surely duke was one of the team members at the control center he kept in touch with the astronauts on their mission. that the ready 1st place was building but we were in a space race with the russians so that motivated ready us to commit to it. there was a tense moment 4 days into the mission when armstrong and aldrin flew towards the moon again and again the radio cut out. then the navigation computer sounded the alarm neil armstrong took control and landed the lunar module gently. on the moon's surface. here. maybe your. way through the eagle is. very excitedly i said write your toy for a week i'll be on the ground you got a bunch of guys about for a blueberry that buzz aldrin filmed armstrong setting foot on the moon along with his historic words. armstrong then went about collecting dust and rock samples buzz aldrin set up some scientific equipment. together they planted the stars and stripes in the moon surface. and then the last big challenge

built for that to the test again in earth orbit that actual lunar landers on display at the national air and space museum here in washington d.c. so we're ready for all kinds of things would have nasa we prepare for all kinds of contingencies. and so they were ready to fly the mission when it was whatever it was we're capable of doing and then you know fortunately on apollo 11 we were successful on the 1st try and the bad to this of course was the space race between the united states and the soviet union as it was then so was this mission about science or political prestige. it was primarily a political geo political machine when president kennedy made the session to send the united states to the moon within a decade back in 1961 that was predicated on the challenge that the soviet union was saying that because they were head in space they had a better political economic system and you know we may think that's a ludicrous perspective at this point in history but back then many new newly independent countries were watching the soviet union and say well they must know something if the

inch window will be confirmed later chandrayaan 2 will carry a lunar lander and rover to remotely explore the south pole of the moon its previous sesar a decade ago helped discover molecules of water which is a vitally important discovery for a permanent presence there was so much that i challenge 3 is that the rector of the into university center for astronomy and astrophysics he joins us live now via skype from pruning in india sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera 1st of all do you have any more information of what this technical snag might be that has caused the delay of the law. thanks no i have no more information than what israel has actually announced in their various bulletins it happened about an hour before the show you launch just after the fuel the solid oxygen and hydrogen was was loaded into the spacecraft and so one can imagine that during the loading of the fuel they found something that they considered unsafe which also means that now all the fuel will have to be unloaded and the containers inspected and that would take a few days and so they will proba

early this year the israeli lunar probe very chic headed to the moon the lander ended up crashing on the surface. but as the 1st privately initiated and financed lunar mission it stands for the future of space travel alongside national. agencies more and more companies are now aiming for space including one from berlin. berlin smarts on district ave the cosmonauts the perfect location for germany's 1st lunar landing mission and that's just what these young engineers and computer scientists have been working on for the last 10 years this adventure began with a close encounter of a very earthly kind. about 10 years ago my very 1st car with a gift from my parents for passing my exams was written off in an accident there wasn't my fault and the insurance paid out just over 10000 euros. the computer science student invested the money in a science competition along with friends and fellow students the challenge was to put a rover on the moon the prize money was a whopping $20000000.00 u.s. dollars. i was without a car for almost 5 years because i thought all my money into space but it was

blue origin has spent the last several years developing its own lander, blue moon. another example, t lunar gate y gateway. >> the purpose of that is for nasa to launch exploration missions from there and support exploration of the moon and other locations. >> it will take up to $40 billion according to nasa. but it isn't a matter of whether space goes main street but of when. >> i want to some day go into a school and say i'm steve i'm an astronaut and kids to say big deal there's a million of those. >> and this is just one piece of what morgan stanley could top $120 trillion by 2040. from broad band to 3d printing to tourism, something we'll find out about later this year. >> morgan, thank you in the 50 years since the 1969 apollo 11 moon landing it continues to inspire generations of new astronauts. one of them joins us now joe, thank you, good to see you. >> good morning, becky, it's great to be here. >> you were 2 years old during the apollo 11 mission. how did you learn about nasa and the moon. >> you gave away my age, but i was just a couple years old when it

in the year 2020 it allows us to do it as necessary to build the lander so we can land on the surface of the moon in 2024. any development program like a moon lander follows the traditional path of a development program which starts low and get high. in that bell curve you could imagine 2021 will be a little higher. we have not put specific numbers on it. 20 billionn a range, dollars-$30 billion over the on top offive years our existing budget. the reality is what we are learning is that there are other people that want to contribute. international partners and commercial partners that want to put their own skin into the game. they want to invest their own money. they want customers that are not nasa. if they can have customers that are not nasa it drives down our cost. to invest their own money we welcome that. that, it is very realistic it can come in under $20 billion. it withdoes international partners in commercial partners we could drive down the cost. jeff: the house has passed an appropriations bill that doesn't include that $1.6 billion, what is your strategy for getting that

command module, a spacecraft, and the lunar module, but we all went together and we got into the lander and we landed. and we came back. we have the number one rocket right now in the u.s., and we have the number one spacecraft, and they cannot get into lunar orbit with significant maneuvering capability. that's a great disappointment. president trump: how do you feel about that, jim? >> we are working on it. the orion crew capsule is amazing, and we need it to go to the moon in five years. that is the direction we are on right now. when we are there, the gateway is going to attach to a small module and orbit around the moon, think of it as a small space station, and that is going to give us that maneuvering capability to go out of lunar orbit and back up to a lander. those are the pieces of the architecture we are working on. president trump: some people would like to do this a different way. listen to buzz. i know this has been going on, and we are so advanced, but i would like to hear the other side. >> yes, sir. the other real benefit of space is the inspiration it provides for all

it took a command spacecraft, and the lunar module, but we all went together and we got into the lander and we landed. and we came back. we have the number one rocket right now in the u.s., and we have the number one spacecraft, and they cannot get into lunar orbit with significant maneuvering capability. that's a great disappointment. president trump: how do you feel about that, jim? >> we are working on it. the soviet orion space capsule, we needed to go to the mood in five years. but we are there. the gateway is going to attach to a small module and orbit around the moon, think of it as a small space station, and that is going to give us that maneuvering capability to go out of lunar orbit and backup to a lander. those of the pieces of the architecture we are working on. president trump: [no audio] >> yes, sir. the other real benefit of space is the inspiration it provides for all the kids out there, not just the u.s., but around the world, to focus on achieving their dreams, studying science and math and engineering, and i have heard from so many people who have said, i was inspired

and drove it to travel for 2 months before the lander the crim touches down on the moon near its south pole a robotic drover cord. will then spend 14 days collecting mineral and chemical analysis the mission is a major step forward in india's efforts to become a space suit. up to now one of the united states russia and china have landed spacecraft on the moon. joining me now from delhi is roger. pollan she's the head of the nuclear and space policy initiative a few observer research foundation that's a think tank based in the indian capital welcome not a big moment for india and its space program what did you feel when you saw somebody on to lift off today. now i think this is been an exciting moment not just far the indian space for such organization india as a whole but also for the whole this is become such a prestigious moment because there has been a global attention ever since u.s. . came into office he talked about going back to the moon there have been other countries such as india russia china and japan who have been trying to go back to the on the more now. that has undertake

particular spot on the moon in a place known as the sea of tranquility and why it designed the lunar lander the way that it did, we have to go deep deep into the bowels of the nasa research center in mountain view and into one of the world's premier hyper velocity impact testing sites. >> welcome to the ranger. >> reporter: charles is the facility manager and explains the device built in 1966 is basically a gun range on steroids. >> we use this gun to shoot at targets and a blue chamber. a very high speeds to simulate what happens when meteors and asteroids impact a planet or moon surface. >> reporter: with high-speed cameras mounted everywhere -- >> this is where the targets are placed. >> reporter: researchers the material that replicated the moon surface on the charge of the gun with compressed hydrogen to shoot small projectiles at insanely fast speeds. >> this gun shoots at about 70 kilometers per second which is just under 16,000 miles per hour. one way to think of it is if you were to travel that speed you can fly from san francisco to new york and under six minutes. >> reporter: nas

and a rover it will travel for 2 months before the lander touches down on the moon near its south pole. full. bull but they don't. know about it because it was the us finally the moment india had been waiting for a successful launch brings the country one step closer to joining the u.s. russia and china in sending a spacecraft to the earth's closest neighbor. so far only china has ventured to the dark side of the moon and with the chandra and 2 mission india hopes to be the next . site. has science and technology in india. but the most nailbiting part of the mission is still to come when the land attempts a soft touch down near the moon south pole around $47.00 days from now if it succeeds a robotic rover will spend one luna day the equivalent of 2 weeks on earth studying water deposits and collecting samples. at under $150000000.00 it's india's most ambitious project yet in its quest to become a low cost space power and it comes at a time of her need enthusiasm for lunar exploration 50 years since man 1st set foot on the moon the u.s. has vowed to send astronauts back by 2024 private

any development program like a lunar or moon lander follows the traditional path of a development program which starts low and gets high. so a bell curve. in that bell curve you could imagine 2021 will be a little higher. 2022 a be a little bit higher. we have not put specific numbers on it. i have given the range, $20 billion to over the course of $30 billion five years to build a sustainable lunar architecture on top of our existing budget. i have given that range. the reality is what we are learning is that there are other people that want to contribute. international partners and commercial partners that want to put their own skin into the game. they want to invest their own money. why? because they want customers that are not nasa. if they can have customers that are not nasa, it drives down our cost. it increases access to the moon for a lot of people. if they want to invest their own money, we welcome that. today, it is very realistic that it can come in under $20 billion. if nasa does it with international and commercial partners, we could drive down the cost. about the oneed poin

it's the celebration of people like my grandfather who worked on the thrusters for the lunar lander. from 1961 to 1970 he was involved with apollo service module rocket development, qualification, and production. in talking with my grandfather, i have seen how much of a catalyst this work is for our identity as americans. the moon shot gave so many of us something to believe in. and that belief paid off in its enduring impact to scientific discovery and commercial applications. we need to realize that trim up of, that triumph in this generation of americans. my work on the house armed services committee has also shown me that the military and our defense capabilities simply don't work any longer without a mastery of space. our adversaries are on their way to the moon and we have no choice but to be there as well. that's a vital part of how we maintain our status as the global leader that we have always been. to keep our strongest position, we have to have a plan and strategy for space. in doing so, we will inspire a generation of stem workers, many of them young women, people of colo

this is a few steps forward in terms of having it all we do with that run spin notes and then a lander we could learn on the moon less at 0 which one would know and already did easy to study. in 2008 india's 1st moon mission chandrayaan one which hit the moon and helped them firm the presence of water but it didn't make a landing. under prime minister narendra modi the country has stepped up its ambitions in space 2013 so india's 1st interplanetary venture the launch of an overture to mars. with this latest mission india wants to cement its status as a leader in space technology by becoming only the 4th country in the world to perform a soft landing and put a rover in the moon. and it has even more ambitious plans the 1st manned mission into space is shield for 2022 and soon after that the creation of india's own space station. and someone with intimate knowledge of india's plans for space and the upcoming chandrayaan 2 mission is science journalist and author bob love barbara good to have you on the program now in their plans to. land the rover on the salt form of the moon how signifi

it might be a source for this is sort of like when landers happened near the san andreas and we said oh if we're going to start of something bigger the san andreas ram of course it didn't happen. that was a possibility a low probability possibility. luckily really runs to some of the most isolated parts of california they were too old and making this a note pad. >>and so there was that lowered the leg right now the theft. >>the northwest part it's extended in ground where is north this the southwest striking one you want to doesn't seem to have had more earthquake is not a surprise at all to you that this fault system was capable of this kind of or 30 years now. >>there was a magnitude 7 and a half in 18 72 in the owens valley. there have been lots of 60's there's this whole series when i said nevada. 1915 1954 and i don't have the magnitudes in my head this time, but they were sevens. there were series of earthquakes with several events 67. in mammoth in 1980 there were 4 magnitude 6 and a half that happened in one sequence over about 10 days. this part of california is characterize

of theed, on the feet lander, that they were spotless in the photos. and the other thing was the creator holes that i think should have been under the lander -- can you give me a scientific reason why there would not be dust visible in the photographs? guest: sure. hefact, neil armstrong, when was getting ready to step out the ladder, he made observations, because scientists were not sure what would happen when the lunar module first touched down on the moon. we had landed other robotic probes before, so we had some idea, but they were not fully sure, particularly with the size of the engine. the surface of the moon, actually, has been battered by all kinds of debris that has hit the moon. we call shooting stars, they do not burn up in the emissary of the moon, because there is no atmosphere. so they hit the moon and they grind up the rocks. there is no water or wind. so the surface of the moon is sharp bits and pieces of rocks that's on the surface, but just below that layer, the surface is pretty stiff, because it has been beaten by time and is compa

we have a lunar lander and a lunar rover to explore the surface. how do you plan to make money? by transportation business to the lunar surface at the beginning and then we moved to the space resource business with water on the moon. and of course, humans have arguably been stripping down earth so much and climate changes have been exacerbated as a result, so do you think if more people go to the moon, this could be the same problem, just like what we are having here on earth? we believe that using space is sustainable for the earth as well. using resources in space, we can maintain the infrastructure in an efficient way and provide better living standards on earth. keeping earth sustainable and the moon sustainable as well, how can you have these two ecosystems working together? the key is utilisation of space resources, especially water. water is composed up of hydrogen and oxygen, and that is repellent for the space craft in the future. do you have clients for your moon trip in 2021? yes, we have several deals with a japanese set of private companies as our partner programme,

and onjuly the 20th 1969 it kicked in, as neil armstrong piloted the lunar lander onto the moon's surfaceays we've had shutdown. the eagle has landed. at 0239 hours, armstrong exited the landing module and uttered the immortal phrase. that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. now, as any good tourist knows, photos are a must. armstrong and aldrin also left a plaque and a flag. and took a phone call from president richard nixon. hello, neil and buzz, i'm talking to you by telephone from the oval room at the white house. and this certainly has to be the most historic telephone phone call ever made. and what did we learn from the apollo missions that we still use today? we are leveraging a lot of the experience that we gained with the vehicles themselves in terms of the rocket design, the capsule design, and what it takes for us to safely, you know, send that body up to space and bring it back down. a recent poll suggests that one in six britons believe that the moon landing was staged. in the age of the internet, conspiracy theories run rampant and claiming the moon landing

. >> india's unmanned lunar lander blasted off at 2:13 this morning our time. it will take more than 5 weeks for it to reach the moon. india space program decided to use a force of gravity instead of depending on rocket fuel to get to the moon, that's less costly but it's also slower, too. india's lunar lander is expected to be rolling across the surface of the moon by early september. >>> we wants to check in with sal castaneda keeping an eye on the traffic. as the east shore got better, 880 has a problem. >> northbound 880, they are recovering from an earlier crash. northbound, and southbound, the lanes are open. some vehicles on the shoulder r some on the other side slowing to take a look. that area is going to be slow. the east shore freeway recovering from earlier problems am crash westbound at cutting. we had slow traffic on the east shore freeway, we have slowing over to san rafael, richmond and typical morning commute. a lot of people are on the road. southbound 242 at 680, a brush fire in the area. here at the macarthur maze, 25 minutes. a little fog a
