nasa's chief scientist. we'll be listening and learning from all of you as you share your thoughts on the best path forward. let me set the stage by reminding us of why we're all here. while humans have been fascinated with mars, since the beginning of time. there are a number of very tangible reasons why we need to learn more about our closest planetary neighbor. for one thing, mar's formaking and evolution is comparable to earth. we know at one time mars had a condition suitable for life. while nasa has been on path to mars for decades. a critical national policy statement in support of our strategy was on april 15th, 2010 during a visit by president obama to the kennedy space center. where he challenged the nation to send humans to an -- an asteroid by 2025. and t omars -- to mars in the 2030's. over the past several years, nasa has been developing the capabilities to meet those goals through a bipartisan plan agreed to by the administration and congress in a 2010 authorization act and embraced by the int

[laughter] and they also managed to get nasa to add what only nasa could refer to as hair restraints,e call them rubber bands. [laughter] but it wasn't just nasa, and it wasn't just the press. when the original launch date was moved back a couple of months to accommodate a schedule change, it wasn't a delay, they were just shifting things armed, johnny carson joked on the tonight show that the space shuttle could be delayed so that sally ride could get a purse to match her shoes. [laughter] i have screened all of the johnny carson jokes about sally over that period. they only got worse, and they were awful, frathouse gags. i am very happy to tell you that the audience over time ignored him and then started booing him. the idea of an american woman in space had gone from becoming a punchline to a matter of national pride. and the entire nation was riding with sally when she lifted off in june of 1983. just before she went i got my one-on-one interview, that's the interviews that you saw in the video, and i asked her, look, do you feel under any special pressure because you're the first

to add but only nasa could refer to as harry streets, we call them rubber bands. it wasn't just meant nasa or the press, one the original launch date was moved back to accommodate a schedule change, they were just shifting things around and johnny carson joked that the space shuttle had been delayed so that sally ride could get a purse to match your shoes. and i have screened all of the johnny carson jokes over that time and they only got worse and they were awful and i'm very happy to tell you that the audience over time ignored him and then started booing him. the idea of an american woman had gone from becoming a punchline to a matter of national pride in the entire nation was riding with sally in june of 1983. just before she went i got my one-on-one interview with her and that is the interview that he saw and i asked her and said, you feel under any pressure and she said yes, i do feel under pressure. until i feel pressure not to mess up and what she meant was she felt pressure not to mess up for her crew. any space mission is a group effort in the team event

that is what nasa is going to do. want to enable commercial space operations and utilize that excess capacity we have. we have a goal of divesting without diminishing capability and we want to get greener and leaner. we are building a new headquarters and it will allow -- tear downwn three other leagues that are full -- buildings that are full of the specimens and energy inefficient. i will save $6 million a year in operating costs right building a new efficient headquarters. there really is an evolving commercial market. asis not evolving as fast may be somewhat like, but it is going to happen. people ask me, what do you think about these guys in suborbital flights? they are just going into space and coming back down. we did that with alan shepard. these rocket planes, virgin galactic. if you look back at aviation, and one of my heroes as a boy -- i grew up in minnesota. we had a family farm and we used to drive too little farms, minnesota and that is where charles lindbergh grew up. there is a statue of him. i have

, but what is nasa doing now?we have another ought inspiring moment in space? ♪ ♪ gerri: well, we are kicking off our week on you. users guide to saving money. everything from cutting down your commuting costs to starting deals on the latest technology and clothing trends, but first cause are skyrocketing at the grocery store. our next guest has hidden ways of bringing up savings at your nearest supermarket. senior projects editor consumer reports. welcome back to the show . this story was amazing. some great ideas. the first one is using the loyalty card. how important is this? >> it's one of the 10 commandments of grocery shopping. you sign up for your stores loyalty program. more and more chains want you to come back and how do they do that? by making deals available to you, their loyal customer that aren't available to the general public. if you look at the weekly flyers most of us are familiar with and you see what they call the hot specials or the cherry pick a specials, those are lost leaders. they are sold

nasa's chief scientist. we'll be listening and learning from all of you as you share your thoughts on the best path forward. let me set the stage by reminding us of why we're all here. while humans have been fascinated with mars, since the beginning of time. there are a number of very tangible reasons why we need to learn more about our closest planetary neighbor. for one thing, mar's formaking -- formation and evolution is comparable to earth. we know at one time mars had a condition suitable for life. while nasa has been on path to mars for decades. a critical national policy statement in support of our strategy was on april 15th, 2010 during a visit by president obama to the kennedy space center. where he challenged the nation to send humans to an -- an asteroid by 2025. and to mars in the 2030's. over the past several years, nasa has been developing the capabilities to meet those goals through a bipartisan plan agreed to by the administration and congress in a 2010 authorization act and embraced by the i

if you look at the federal budget, how big is the nasa budget? a penny.fraction of there are single programs at the pentagon that exceed that. it is much less than we spend collectively on coffee every year. we don't spend a lot of money on nasa, and the fact that we talk so much about it is a sign of the success of the expenditure of the money that we spend. we spend a little, we know a lot about it. we talk about it as if we cannot afford it, but we cannot afford not to do it. all, an inspiration to us and frankly, we have underfunded it for way too long. it is about time we got serious about having a true space agency that can explore any meaningful way and it does not cost that much money in the grand scheme of things. even cost is not the right word. it truly is an investment in our economy the cousin of what it does for engineering science and technology here and all around the globe. host: why is this your passion? person, i spent time covering collectively set events. what i like about the space program is there are great events that ring

it's not just nasa pushing this for our own needs. another piece, the higher powered thruster to replace liquid apogee morts, this is a part of that piece. is this is a way to leverage off what commercial is already doing and moving forward. in the nuclear propulsion area it's pretty much us alone pursuing it. there isn't yet a private sector play-action for that class of rocket but we need to keep investing in the technology and take the work that was done back in the 1960's and take it that next step. because we know a lot more about control systems now. computers are much more sophisticated. we can take some of that and move it forward at the right pace. but this isn't something uniquely needed for us. it can be shared. >> this is key, again, not trying to did it all ourselves and trying to be smart about it. one of the challenges is the ability to store liquid hydrogen. it's not only good for cryogenic storage, but for thermal too. we're trying to take the common pieces today. >> yes? >> i have several questions, but we have a bre

are: how my experiments national -- are nasa sanctioned and taxpayer-funded? i don't really know the are differenthere sources. we have from nasa and european space agencies and the japanese space agency and some from the russians. we have a whole group which takes in science experiments from all over the u.s. and combines them into a group from that area. it a whole bunch of different places where our experience come from. i don't know any exact numbers. host: you spoke about life and microgravity. can you give folks an example of what it is like being there and atmosphere without gravity? can you move around to give folks a sense of what it is like? is a good thing. anything you hold just floats on a list go of it. that is good and bad. don'td thing is, if i watch this, it will float off and it would take me another hour to find it. that is the negative thing. moving around is very much fun. i will give you an example of some things you can do. i am not a gymnast on earth, so this is the only place i can do that. host: do you hit your head and things like th

nasa wants one ready to go by 2017. space x has so far grabbed most of the headlines offering up a capsule and rocket elon musk created. boeing, however, is offering is system based on what worked in the past. >> i think in hue man space sight where you have to be air free, bringing in flight crew and hardware and technology drives down the risk to humans. >> reporter: even the space suits look traditional. orange is always the new black but there are changes. look at this, this is a samsung tablet, galaxy, all the astronaut wills have them if boeing wins and that's a big if. nasa spent over a billion dollars seating all three companies and each company had to invest some of its own money. that's part of nasa's new business model leasing space on a capsule allowing the builder to lease some. they would like to use a seat for tourist and biggalo would like to use it to set up space habitats so they used things like blue lining. >> we're like an inflection point going from the military interiors to the commercial airliner

philanthropy is working with nasa as well as companies working with nasa. >> getting to mars is one thing about getting back? >> if you only go into mars orbit am i getting back is a lot easier. if you land on the surface, that part of why getting to mars is so hard because you have to land all the things that get you back off the surface. it turns out if you can land equipment to make your rocket fuel on the surface of mars, that is enabling. it's very hard to land all of our rocket you'll on mars and take off with that fuel. you have to make it while you are there. >> you and your wife have been planning your own trip to mars for the better part of two decades. why? why you want to go so badly and what does getting there involved for you? >> i think going there really involves doing something that is so hard that it's worthy of america. that's what a lot of people miss about the space program. america needs is kind of hard technical challenges both to spur on innovation and also to inspire kids into science and show what amazing things can be done with science and technology. it's all a

and is there any nother form of life out there today nasa hosted a special event to discuss ways to make discoveries of habitable planets more on the search later in the show. it's monday july fourteenth four pm in washington d.c. i'm manila chan your watching r.t. america. it's common knowledge that police departments across the u.s. are becoming more and more militarized in a surprising move the embattled albuquerque police department in new mexico is getting three hundred fifty a ar fifteen rifles at approximately one thousand dollars apiece three hundred fifty thousand bucks paid for by tax dollars what's more shocking though is that a p.t. is currently under an active d.o.j. investigation for allegations that officers engaged in a pattern of excessive force including unreasonable deadly force against civilians now back in march sparked national outrage when a police video went viral showing the assault and killing of thirty eight year old homeless camper james boyd in the sandia foothills and to talk about the controversial news i was joined earlier by civil rights attorney shannon

nasa had asked me to do an oral history. i won't get into all the details about that, but i was going to get to do an oral history of neil armstrong buried he turned 70 and said he would do one for nasa. they wanted somebody like myself who had some enthusiasm for the topic to come down to johnson space center and interview him in houston. all airports are canceled, everything was shut. i figured there goes my interview. i finally get the reluctant hero, that is neil armstrong's nickname, the reluctant hero. even his family calls him a reluctant hero. he doesn't like talking to the press. this is a washout. no, he said i don't cancel things. he flew his own way from cincinnati to houston. it was an old-fashioned lesson in carry-on. i have two prewar new year. many great aeronautical engineers in the audience are associated with purdue university. not that. i almost embarrass myself on it for started talking and interviewing mr. armstrong, because at 1.i remember, and it is in the transcript to prove it, i did a real humanity

eisenhower created nasa and space now becomes a big deal. can we play -- i have a little -- let's play a little bit of neil armstrong talking about where he was when he heard about sputnik. >> yeah. i was holding a symposium in beverly hills. 1957. i was working on -- i think i may have been program chairman. i am not sure. i was very much involved in the symposium. the los angeles press was interested in the kinds of technical presentations that were being produced there and getting a little coverage of what our industry was doing and what was happening. it was a hard sell and it became completely impossible when it came across the sky and we could not get any people to listen about airplane flying. >> the -- i had written about walter contrite -- walter krokite. he was a military reporter. cbs decided when nasa is created that they will start covering the rockets that are going to fail or not fail. it was cheap. it is a camera on a site and kronkite rises to fame on the coverage. john f. kennedy becomes the gray television president if fdr

but i'll leave it to you and the folks at nasa to figure this out. will you find this out? can you just talk me through logistics? finding life? >> yes. in fact, we've been searching for life for many, many years. we have two rovers right now on mars, one is curiosity and opportunity. curiosity is specifically taking -- little chemistry labs on board, constantly taking samples from the soil and rock. we are trying to get humans to the planet, because we know that whenever humans go, they can do things much quicker, over much vaster spanses than robots can. >> what's the thought among you astronaut types as far as what really lurks out there? what's the thought? what do you all talk about up there? >> i'm not sure anybody has a guess as to what's out there. we just -- i think most of us believe that there is life form of some type. whether you're talking about, you know, the planet in -- the moon, or the moon europa of jupiter, where there is interest now. other solar systems. we believe, i believe, that a multiplanet species is the kind of species th

up next, a look at nasa's efforts to explore the planet mars. first, remarks by one of the senior engineers who worked on the curiosity rover. then, nasa administrator charles bolden and others on the long-term plan to send a manned mission to the red planet. this is about two hours and 20 minutes. >> we're going to talk about mars for the next few minutes. this is adam steltzner, who is an engineering fellow at the laboratory in pasadena, california. you probably know him as the fellow who invented that crazy contraption that helped to land the curiosity rover on mars. first of all, can you tell us -- how do you beat that? what have you been doing since the landing? a couple of things -- no one person ever invents anything. it is always a great team effort. that is one of the beauties of engineering, it's collaborative art. any ideas from many, many people combine to make these great things that look great through and look crazy, but are fantastic, come out of the minds of many folks. what i have been doing lately is working with a new group --

as was part of the nasa oral history project. it gives insight into the lives and experiences of the so-called nerdy engineer, and famously took one giant leap for mankind. the purdue organization sponsored this event. >> welcome, everyone, to the greatest adventure. neil armstrong and the moonshot. eaturing dr. douglas brinkley. >> we are excited to have you at this event. part of the purdue university forum series. >> i am a sophomore in aeronautical and astronautical engineering and i'm a member of the perdue institute for civic communication. or picc. >> i'm a senior double major in political science and economics and i'm a student assistant to the executive director of the picc. >> this forum demonstrates the ssential links between the humanities and engineering. going to the moon requires more than just science, as do solutions to most challenges facing our world. i have not worked on projects as exciting as the moonshot yet, but i have worked on robotics teams. people like me on the engineering side thought we were the lif

nasa has a big effort. the rovers on mars, yes, they're there to find hydrology, history of water on mars but why are you interested in the history of the water on mars? you're interested because want to know were there martians, mibecrobial most likely. are there still martians? that's what interests people the most. and seti was also, if you will, a punch line to this story that nasa had about finding, you know, traces of water on mars or burrowing through the ice on ue ropia and sell it as some of the moons in the outer solar system where there may be vast quantities of liquid water. seti said ok, we may find life but what about intelligent life? that would be more interesting and that's what missing in fact from the nasa program today. >> ok. you made a comment just a few minutes ago that kind of caught my attention. let me make sure i got it right. from id that if we hear intelligent life out there somewhere that they must be more advanced than us because we're hearing from them and not the other way a

we will talk to perl's, nasa weinistrator and veteran -- will talk to charles bolden, nasa administratord veteran milesadministrator o'brien. we will be back in a moment. was thequincy adams second adam's to be elected to the white house. he was the second northerner to be elected to the white house. he was only one of two anti-slavery president to be elected to the white house. he was deeply feared by the .outh they worried that his vision of a unified country in which the federal government and the in as were partners relationship that enabled the federal government to play the leading role in binding the country together through infrastructure projects, through supporting manufacture and so on, he was deeply suspected by the southern states that thought he wanted to much power for the federal government. but fred kaplan on the life of our six president, john quincy at 8:00 p.m. night eastern and pacific on c-span's q&a. >> 40 years ago, the watergate scandal led to the only resignation of an american president. throughout this month in august, american history tv revisits 1974 and the

it was called "mutually assured yet, theon," and administrator of nasa will only went to the moon -- when we went to the moon was a major person behind pushing for this joint mission with the russians. thinkt think many people that was a mistake. i think it paved the way for more acceptable relations later on. going back to landing first on the moon, the russians wanted to do that, but they didn't. we gradually caught up with them after mercury and gemini, with all of the things that we did .uring that it was clear that we were leading them. however, they had the capability of sending one cosmonaut around the moon, and they knew what we were going to do on apollo eight. they did not have the rocket successfully to be able to do that, but it was because of that, that we accelerated the first mission to orbit the moon ahead of what the schedule was going to be. the first time a cruise on a big rocket, they orbited the moon. ae second time we ever put spacecraft -- a crew on a spacecraft, it was a very bold achievement. host: let's go back to that recording in 1969 and hear that famous

we do that for nasa as well. we have nasa operators on the floor with us. we take very seriously the protection of the international space station. you heard from our previous panelists that the space station had moved 16 times. just last month we recommended to nasa they move it twice. there's a layered approach to doing this. we detect where the debris is and then as it gets into a certain area around the space station, we then put more energy on that debris, refine the orbital accuracy of our position estimate of that debris, and then we make recommendations with the folks sitting on the floor. so it's something that we take very seriously, and there's a set process with nasa operators. we also do that for all of our dod satellites and again, as i mentioned earlier, for any conjunction that we see is going to hit on an emergency basis, we notify the world. >> i know you must have processes for the government operators to warn them about any possible collision, but what type of work do you have with the private operators? how do they know this or how do t

but the government accountability office says nasa is about $400 million short.e and technology correspondent jake ward is here to tell us more about it. what is this rocket? and what's it for, jake? >> well, john, the space launch system is intended to carry humans and cargo out to mars or beyond. to asteroids we might capture some day and carry 143 tons in theory. and based on the same engines that propelled the space shuttle. this time they have sort of upgraded them from being able to put out 491,000 pounds of thrust to a little over 500,000 pounds of thrust. making them the most powerful rockets in the world. and the thing is just really cool. it's a monster, it's like a drag racer, essentially combining a cold liquefied form of oxygen and hydrogen in the engine, injects one in to the other and ignites them and pr propels all that violence out the end and can do incredible things. if it were a power plant it would be a i believe to light all of the city lights in new york city or los angeles or chicago. now, this gao report, though, is a tremendous disappoin

nasa has a big effort. the rovers on mars, yes, they're there to find hydrology, history of water on mars but why are you interested in the history of the water on mars? you're interested because want to know were there martians, mibecrobial most likely. are there still martians? that's what interests people the most. and seti was also, if you will, a punch line to this story that nasa had about finding, you know, traces of water on mars or burrowing through the ice on ue ropia and sell it as some of the moons in the outer solar system where there may be vast quantities of liquid water. seti said ok, we may find life but what about intelligent life? that would be more interesting and that's what missing in fact from the nasa program today. >> ok. you made a comment just a few minutes ago that kind of caught my attention. let me make sure i got it right. from id that if we hear intelligent life out there somewhere that they must be more advanced than us because we're hearing from them and not the other way a

how is the business model different for nasa and such a massive effort now?ably do more in terms of partnering with philanthropies and companies for sponsorship. there will be more international partnering as well. i think that nasa and the administration and the congress really needs to take a leadership position and then find the partners to make it happen. thele keep talking about huge amounts of money that it will be. maybe we have to get up to 1% government spending to secure our economic future. we are not talking about that much money, especially if nasa works with other entities. >> what kind of technology do we need to get there that we don't have yet or that is in development or not deployed yet? >> one of the big differences between now and apollo is we had to invent just about everything for apollo. now the things that we need to invent really involve landing on the surface and getting back off the surface. the international space station has basically proven that we have the technology in hand to get to and from mars and live on the surface. ther

and the nasa, you said those people, the nasa will be the ones finding out about aliens, they will beple are into this other alien lives. and they're going to come down. and you know, maybe the aliens up there in the milky way could secure our southern border. they may have the solution there. >> yeah, well, listen, you ever want to lull yourself to sleep, start reading alien tweets because they're bigger morons than us. listen, anybody that wants to travel across space and get a scope, anybody that wants to do that, they're a moron, listen, you manage space travel, you can stay out of my butt. >> all right, i believe you. now, world cup, did you watch the world cup deal? >> you know what, billy, i watched the world cup, but the moment the world cup ended i hated soccer again. >> you like the game, though? i think they played for two and a half days. >> i just like the fact that it is a big event. the world comes together. it is kind of exciting. everything that surrounds it. but if you're telling me there is a tacoma/spokane soccer game, i can't tell you how far away i'll be from the

and is there life on other planets nasa pushes on as it tries to discover more habitable planets more in the search through the stars later in the show. hello there it's tuesday july fifteenth four pm in washington d.c. i'm lindsey france you're watching our team america. what can popping open a few beers turning on a video camera and sitting back at the kitchen counter to have a conversation with voters that you well pretty good slice of voter support in the run up to the primary elections for a senate seat which is taking place right now in the state of north carolina today it's just what pizza delivery man libertarian candidate shon ha has done in a tight senate race where candidates are spending many millions this guy is racking up a surprising amount of support with his every man issues and a call point forget expensive campaign ads take a look at part of his you tube series. not amish on hall from north carolina and i'm going to be u.s. senate as a libertarian then you know i really didn't want to do this. but i couldn't stand the idea of walking to the voting booth and just see

nasa wants one ready to go by 20117.pacex has so far grabbed most of the headlines in the competition, offering up a capsule and rocket which elon musk basically created from the ground up. boeing, however, is offering nasa a system which has worked in the past. >> i think you have to be error free, bringing in flight proven hardware and technology drives down the risk. >> even the space suits is traditional. orange as always been the new black. look at this, a samsung tablet, all the astronauts will have them if boeing wins. and that's a big if. each company has had to invest its own money. that's part of nasa's plan. space adventures would like to use a seat for tour i have thes. so boeing has added things like blue lighting used on its customer air lines. >> we're almost at an inflexion point in space travel going from the military travel to space flight. >> nasa should announce a winner next month, but if boeing loses, it's reportedly preparing for layoffs. a sign that space has changed with budget and figuring out h

joined a got a grant from nasa as part of the nasa space shuttle science program. i'm also exactly director while a health institute at u.c.l.a. so i you know i we all these different how we use a surgeon general surgeon i was a pancras transplant surgeon i was a cancer surgeon i was a general question just style surgeon but really. wanted to take on the challenge of the bankers which is what is your specialty called i should. i think that's my problem i think there's no box and i don't look at life in in these little boxes these siloed boxes in these labels at the end of the day i consider myself a scientist looking at the wonders of biology of matters of your body and trying to figure out how we can actually improve health this is just that i've interviewed almost every type of specialist and ontology must be the hardest because you're dealing with so many people who you know are dying oh what is that very hard you know and especially in in children so you know one of my earliest decision was i was going to become a pediatrician and i decided i just couldn't do i

nasa says a direct hit who have fire.asa says a direct hit who have wiped out networks and grids a woman who loves to share her passions. grandma! mary has atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts her at a greater risk of stroke. rome? sure! before xarelto®, mary took warfarin, which required monthly trips to get her blood tested. but that's history. back to the museum? not this time! now that her doctor switched her to once-a-day xarelto®, mary can leave those monthly trips behind. domestic flight? not today! like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so mary is free of that monitoring routine. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one

the company says it will be ready for a test flight next year, two years before the deadline nasa is going to miss without spend ago dollar of taxpayer dollars. >> alabama is state to the marshall space flight center where the system is being developed. nasa is willing to outsource unhand space flights but the dream of human crews going back to the moon and beyond, they kept that. that's what this rocket is all about. >> the centers for disease control said it has resumed transferring materials from its clinical tuberculosis laboratory. dozens of lab workers were exposed to live anthrax. the c.d.c. said transfers from other labs are still on hold. investigations in the wake of the anthrax incident uncovered similar incidents at-c.d.c. labs. >> in china, families are trying to bring discipline to members of the families one child generation, known as little everyone procedures. parents are serving them to camps for tough love military camps. >> your parents can send you on the one week course for nearly $500. if you're lucky, the full six weeks takes up your entire summer vacation. ev

then went to work for then naka, he forerunner to nasa, the ational affiliate, the group group that preceded it. he was first assigned to lewis center in cleveland. were working on some of the difficult daunting problems that space travel posed. the 'd gotten in really at front door on space. wo of the things they were looking at it, lewis, that -- metalogy. it rder to get into space, was obvious you needed a medal that didn't exist at that time. tolerate a metal to the enormous temperatures and space and going into returning would involve. the other thing interestingly at lewis was an investigation into energy to travel to interspace. it was thought that atomic be the only thing probably that would be powerful it.gh to do so that was considered very seriously in the years in the '50s. recruited after about a year and half, two years at lewis, to then go to where he wanted to go, where all fliers who wanted to do things moon which goes lancaster, california where the high-speed drive and test center was. tests where the real were being made in the air. go into space. able to fly several of t

and then nasa administrator on the 44th anniversary of the moon landing. it's in the address from president obama. >> a discussion on diplomacy and the role the u.s. may have in response to the downing a malaysian flight 17. from "washington journal," this is just over 40 minutes. host: our guest joining us is hannah thoburn. discussiontinue our about the incident in ukraine. what did you make of the white house response yesterday? what they were saying about russia. measured was very compared to the things that samantha power said. i thought he saw a very measured response by president obama. it was wise of him to be slow and pointing fingers. haventelligence reports we coming out of the defense department do really make it clear that we know where this missile came from and we are reasonably sure who shot it. the next best question is try to figure out where and how these separatists. their hands on this kind of equipment. host: what does it mean for the parties involved? guest: it will be interesting to see -- a lot of it will have to do with russia's r

it was called "mutually assured yet, theon," and administrator of nasa will only went to the moon -- when we went to the moon was a major person behind pushing for this joint mission with the russians. thinkt think many people that was a mistake. i think it paved the way for more acceptable relations later on. going back to landing first on the moon, the russians wanted to do that, but they didn't. we gradually caught up with them after mercury and gemini, with all of the things that we did .uring that it was clear that we were leading them. however, they had the capability of sending one cosmonaut around the moon, and they knew what we were going to do on apollo eight. they did not have the rocket successfully to be able to do that, but it was because of that, that we accelerated the first mission to orbit the moon ahead of what the schedule was going to be. the first time a cruise on a big rocket, they orbited the moon. ae second time we ever put spacecraft -- a crew on a spacecraft, it was a very bold achievement. host: let's go back to that recording in 1969 and hear that famous
