this is how the apollo astronauts got about on the moon. the next time we go to the moon and mars, our vehicles will look a bit more like this. with six wheels, all of which can turn independently, this is the latest nasa prototype of the vehicle that could be crawling over the lunar surface very soon. so we're designing the next vehicle, and the next vehicle goes up in 2023. it's pretty aggressive. we love it. it's like apollo. to make the drive as safe as possible. the active suspension keeps equal pressure on each wheel at all times, and that means you can cover some pretty extreme terrain. oh, my word. are we about to go down that? we can if you like. i would like. it's not worth it. it's not worth the enjoyment. i have children at home! my goodness! this vehicle is already being used to test the practicalities of future moon missions. four astronauts take two vehicles out for two weeks at a time, living and working on board, to work out the amount of food they'll need and the kind of living conditions they can expect. by the way, we're

the moon thing, on our way to the moon, we had heat problems because of the constant sunlight upon us. so we had to rotate our spacecraft to keep the heat evenly distributed so this didn't boil and this froze. as a consequence, we didn't get to see the moon until we were just practically at the end of our trip to it. when we were -- when we rolled out and looked at it, it was an awesome sphere. it really was. bulbous. it looked like it was almost trying to climb into the cockpit with us. the sun was behind it. so it was illuminated by a rim of gold, which made the strangest appearances of the craters and the crater pits, the contrast between lighter than light and darker than dark. so as magnificent as that was and as impressive and as much as i will remember that, that was nothing, nothing compared to this other window. and out there there's this little pea about the size of your thumbnail at arm's length, blue, white, shiny. you get the blue of the ocean, the white of the water. there's a streak of rust that we call continents. it was a beautiful, gorgeous, tiny thing nestled into t

and the 1st person of color on the moon as i understand the plan, the moon could become away point for future mars missions. i got about a minute and change left john. what's the status of artemus? ottoman is proceeding along pretty much on track. the booster has been stacked in the vehicle assembly building your ryan space capsule will be installed shortly. and really nasa is planning to try and have as 1st unmanned launch on crude launch of this system. this order this system by the end of the year. now of course things slip and that seems a little optimistic, me, but i would think in the next 6 to 7 months, you're going to see the biggest launch that nasa has ever done since the saturn fives. and it will send this a ryan spacecraft around the moon and back door for astronaut to be on board for maybe another 2 years. and then yes, 2024 is the landing goal to put the couple of americans back there. again, as i've told you many times, holland, it's just you have domestic, maybe 20252026. but it's on track and i think it is going to happen. yeah, i remember you calling that plan ambitio

so we decided let's go to the moon. and to go to the moon with no escape system, just the basic command service module, the systems that are on that second flight test, and go for it. and it was interesting, sitting in mission control, that christmas eve listening to the crew, reading from the book of genesis as they circled the moon. it was a wonderful christmas eve and it was a christmas eve that our nation needed badly, because in that decade we had the protests against vietnam and the civil rights issues that were coming up. it was good for america that day. so then, finally, we got ready to move into the apollo program, go into the final phase of the apollo program. i flew the first manned flight test of a lunar module in the apollo 9 mission. it's interesting, we developed a lot of the procedures that we didn't know at that time that we would use to save the crew of apollo 13. the training people would put us in the wrong end of the rend view. we had three rendezvous we had to do and we would have to come up with
