. >> but once neil armstrong stepped on the surface of the moon it was as if our journey was done, ande money spent to get there was a demand. many raging in one apollo mission after another to the moon. so they cut them back. and later said the apollo 17 mission would be the last. >> i was strolling on the moon one day. >> sure that there would be sky lab and even a joint mission with the russians, but then the space shuttle. >> america's first space shuttle. >> amazing triumphs. >> got to be one of the most proud moments of my life, i guarantee you. >> amazing tragedies. >> the vehicle apparently exploded. >> but through the years, budget cuts every year, bit by bit, the u.s. pulling back. jettisoning its zeal for the stars and others more than happy to fill the void. russia, china, india and japan, all throttle up as we wound down. the country that conquered space, now hitching rides into space. and leaving it to unmanned vehicles to do all the exploring on mars, past jupiter and saturn, and passing the outer reaches of the solar system itself. but the last man to walk on the moon s

how many people want to see neil armstrong. jackie robinson? so those are basically where we're looking. we're under contract for six, our goal is to do 600 of them. for heroes for my son and heroes for my daughter, we did 110 heroes, and we didn't even scratch the surface. i didn't even do ben franklin that i want to do, and the goal is just to keep telling them. i also would like to tell the stories about people you don't know. so there's a girl who's named alex scott, alexandra scott. and alex scott when she was barely a year old was diagnosed with cancer. it was the only life she knew, chemotherapy and surgery and sickness. and when she's 4 or 5 years old, she says she wants to open up a lemonade stand in her front yard. and she doesn't want to use the money for herself, she wants to give the money to doctors to help other kids with cancer. within a single day, alex's lemonade stand raises over $2,000. suddenly other lemonade stands start popping up. and eventually she sets a new goal, let's raise a million dollars. on june 12, 2004, hundre

norman mailer's opus about the apollo 11 landings, so i was just enjoying looking at pictures of neil armstrong planting the flag in on the lunr surface and buzz aldrin and this spacey, you know, white marshmallow suit from the 1960s. and i turned a page, and all of a sudden i saw women wearing dresses the color that i'm now wearing, you know, these sherbet covers mini dresses and these skyrocketing beehives, and they were clustered around in this model of the moon that was probably made out of plaster of paris. and i just turned to my husband, and we were in a huge mad men kick at the time. i said has anything ever been done about the astro wyomings as they were called in headlines, and it just took off from there. i just became absolutely obsessed with their story. the restaurants were engineers, and they were so tight-lipped and unemotional, even back in the day journallests would always want to know from neil and buzz and all the guys who landed on the moon what did it feel like, what did you dream about when you were up there, and the guys would start spouting numbers and vectors, and the

you know, eight years after president kennedy made that claim, neil armstrong did just that. it didn't even take a decade. we need that kind of effort to be able to address the incredible challenge we have with a warming globe. we need to think big. we need to execute, and we need to innovate, as you said, mr. president. innovation is going to be so important as we deal with this issue. and, frankly, here in the united states, we have met issue after issue that people said couldn't be solved or were too big or would cost us too much. and we turned those around and we turned those challenges into opportunities to grow new jobs and grow new industry. and i think as we look at this particular challenge, the real question is: are the solutions, is the economic activity that's going to be associated with solving these challenges, are we going to get the benefit of those technologies? are we going to get the jobs from manufacturing, installing, developing those things? or are we going to cede that leadership to other countries around the world? even the sleeping giant in china, wit
