and the moon and the orbit of the moon, orbits around the moon, are a great place to learn that whene, artemis, nasa is expecting the us government to stump up well over $20 billion by 2024 to get you guys back onto the moon. all the indications are congress is going to have a big problem with that. i think you‘re looking for more than three billion for the initial investment in some of the spacecraft. and you‘re struggling to get that. covid makes public finances even more complicated. isn‘t the truth that, unlike in the late 1960s, there clearly is not the political commitment to deliver on the timeframe and the scale of ambition that you want? well, the nice thing is for nasa is that we have strong bipartisan support. and so everything that you mentioned is a reality we have to deal with. but we‘ve been given our goal to land in 2024. and right now we‘re putting in place the contracts for the hardware that we‘ll need to do that. we have several elements that are a big player in this. we have the rocket, the space launch system that will be able to get our payloads, our astronauts

on the moon. >> i will step off now. that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. valerie: after the crew had climbed out and done some exploration close to the lunar module, collected some samples, of lunar soil and rocks, taken some photographs, placed a u.s. flag on the moon, they went back into the lunar module and this became their vehicle for their trip home. they launched the small top portion, leaving the base on the moon. they ascended back up into lunar orbit, rendezvoused with the command module, exited the lunar module, and once they were secure inside the command module, reunited with michael collins. the lunar module was detached and it fell back to the moon with an intentional crash on the moon because geologists and seismologists wanted to be able to track what kind of impact it made on the moon. from a space historian's point of view, these two craft, the apollo command module and the lunar module are the icons of the space race along with the suits worn by the astronauts on the moon. these

man had orbited the moon once. men had test flown lunar module, the testing crafts for the lunar orbit. but before we would commitment to a lunar landing, there were a number of things to be worked out. this was the mission of apollo ten. in the words of its commander, to sort out all the unknown's, and pave the way for a lunar landing. >> it was a veteran crew, the commander had flown on quite six and nine. they had flown on gemini nine. john young had been on july three, and july ten. they were faced problems on politan, problems that would be solved for apollo 11. most would-be minor. but they would be solved. stafford, young and certain. they brought to their mission enthusiasm, dedication, responsibility and even amazement. and through the means of color television they took us with them as they played their part in man's greatest adventure. >> we are go for a mission to the moon at this time and they coming up in the 22nd mark, to minus 20 seconds and counting. 17 seconds and counting, 15 14 13, we have ignit
