not neil armstrong.an: when people read your book, what do you think they will walk away from that they did not think about before? doug: i think jack kennedy was a better president than i thought when i had entered this. in a sense of selling a program like apollo to the taxpayers. brian: second thing. doug: that it is a revolution of satellite telecommunications. , telstar, 1962 when kennedy was as president, we are now living in a world with space satellites and none of them existed before 1957. brian: in the front of the book it lists 14 books that you have written. ,t does not list the magic bus i don't not think it lists the john kerry book. why are those books missing? doug: you may be the only one who noticed that. i did not want it to run too long, so i picked something that had something to do with the cold war military policy. like my walter cronkite book or the presidency. you are right, i have the reagan diaries down there. i did a little book on gerald ford. so some of them are not on that.

neil armstrong, buzz aldrin and i. three very lucky people. neil armstrong was born in 1930. in 1930, mike collins in 1930. three quite different people. neil armstrong did not like the spotlight. buzz aldrin does like the spotlight. mike collins does not like — with all due respect, sir — mike collins does not like the spotlight either. and yet here we are and we will talk about what happened in 1969. do you talk about it with an enduring sense of pride? very much so. i was very proud of the job that the three of us did getting us to and from the moon. the trip is a long and fragile daisychain and the links are very fragile and we were able to keep them all intact and do ourjob properly. but more than the three of us, there were almost 400,000 americans working on project apollo and i thank them. they're the ones who don't get recognised. i want to take you back quite some time before the mission, before those amazing pictures of the footsteps on the moon. i want to take you back tojohn f kennedy pledging to invest whatever it took to get american men onto the moon in 1961,

i got to interview neil armstrong. i was asked to do the official interview.sarmstroarmstro hours at nasa. he was just a stream come true for me. he was an engineer at heart, he had graduated from purdue university, and he believed we had to win the mission. and along with michael collins and buzz aldrin and president nixon can call apollo 11 a success. on the board in houston, they put kennedy's 1961 pledge and under it task accomplished and fulfilled kennedy's dream even though he wasn't proud. >> you're very proud of your affiliation with rice. i want to ask you a rice-centric question. roll it. >> okay. >> we choose to go to the moon a in this decade and dot oth the thing. not because they're easy, but because they're hard. word s uttered where you teach students. in the book, you say you that tell your students when it was time for aldrin and armstrong to leave the moon, they left mind mementos. what did they leave? >> they left a little packet. and in it were kind of a peace medal but also memorial medals for soviet cosmonauts who had died that our astro

neil armstrong did his graduate work at usc. so with that, i will ask you, i was pretty upset to learn that there is not a celebration in washington for the public regarding the 50th anniversary of apollo 11 and i noticed that there is a contractor celebration hosted by kennedy space center which they are saying the official celebration and with tickets of $5000 each. i was wondering here opinion about this and whether in fact, the notoriety of the media, movies that has now varnished the historical significance has overwhelmed the original tenant of what the space program was about to this country and is now just become a paid as you can to be a part of the program now. >> host: i think we got the idea. thank you. >> guest: of course he was the aircraft company that got the contract to design and build the moon or module. he played a very important part. i've heard about the celebration. i have to say, what to celebrate, and what the governors decide to celebrate, it would've been nice to have something on the 50th anniversary.

i got to do the official oral history of neil armstrong, and i spent hours getting to talk to him beforeere in need of a morale boost in the 1960s. jack kennedy made the space race about beating the soviets, but it was also about creating technology for america. and, you know, armstrong is a sustainable hero, in my mind, and buzz aldrin, still alive with us, michael collins. but you know, don, so often, we have big moments in history, pearl harbor or 9/11, the kennedy assassination, they're tragedies, but neil armstrong going to the moon was -- brought the country together and believing that an aroused democracy can accomplish anything. >> let's listen to jfk capturing the nation's imagination, 1962 address by him. here it is. >> we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we're willing to accept. one we are unwilling to postpone. and one we intend to win, and the others, too. >> you say

but first this year marks five decades since astronaut neil armstrong took his giant leap for mankind that is if he ever really set foot on the moon believe it or not there are still many conspiracy theorists who say the whole thing was a huge hoax and that the moon landing was actually acted out on a secret film set well far fetched as those theories might seen the film industry has taken them seriously enough we're here we're in the we are currently going for fire. well that's embarrassing to what this means nasa can do it they can't land man and come back. to cia agents were actually meant to uncover a russian spy of nasa but thanks to a wiretap they discover something much bigger can make it feel good but as they say if you can't make it fake it so the agent suggest faking the moon landing on a film set. and none other than stanley kubrick had demonstrated just the year before how it's done with his film two thousand and one a space odyssey earth if people don't what we're doing to get cooper is very graphic to make sure that his space movie looks like real friends and so we're go

death of kennedy or the death of buddy holly for me and i remember exactly where we were when neil armstrongon the moon. that's one small step for man... iwas in the moon. that's one small step for man... i was in cornwall with roger, oui’ man... i was in cornwall with roger, ourdrummer. man... i was in cornwall with roger, our drummer. one giant leap for mankind. it was the very early days of queen. we were doing a tour of cornwall at the time with the legendary drummer of cornwall, roger, and we were in his mum's house, clustered around this tiny little television screen and we all watched it. it seems like the most incredible thing ever. and to me, it still seems fresh and new and exciting, this is the speech age —— space age, but i'm 50 years older and no one had ever done a 3d book on the whole apollo history and we thought, can we do it? is it possible? is there enough material? so my good friend claudia who spent her whole life travelling through nasa archives, sifted through and found lots of images which looked promising. the astronauts were trained in 3d mostly but very often i thi

neil armstrong had to manually move it away from it to save the mission.y started going to walk on the moon. one of the first things we asked them to do was take a picture of the footprint. we wanted to know the thickness of the fine-grained areas, how much he ways and how much he it.d sink in the thing, the depth of this which means the grain size of all of the dust material on the surface of the moon. came the training of astronauts and looking at the moon from orbit, in addition to the fact of astronauts on the surface describing the surface as they walk and take samples. we wanted to have more discussion of what is it they can see from orbit. inwas the vision help selecting after the mission. talking to the command module 13, thisapollo mission became a very important thing to get correctly and do right. missions up on the 20. 20 missions to go to the room. they were very significant to do so. we will take the apollo -- theaphs and show them new guys, what all of these were, in addition to the fact that some of the information is coming in from looking

neil armstrong had to maneuver by hand.s, we realized as the command module was separated from the lander, there was increased velocity. the command module -- we thought the landing site would be it, as the lander came in, it came further down seven kilometers and was going to land in the middle of a crater. neil armstrong had to manually move it away from it to save the mission. they started going to walk on the moon. one of the first things we asked them to do was take a picture of the footprint. we wanted to know the thickness of the fine-grained layer. we know how much he weighs and how much he would sink in it. we knew the depth of this thing, which means the grain size of all of the dust material on the surface of the moon. then came the training of astronauts and looking at the moon from orbit, in addition to the fact of astronauts on the surface describing the surface as they walk and take samples. we wanted to have more discussion of what is it they can see from orbit. the observation would help in selecting landin

neil armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon.e are so happy to be joined tonight by douglas brinkley, presidential historian, author of the new book "american moonshot," john f. kennedy and the great space race. my friend, great to see you. sick of watching you on another network. very happy for you. i have read and finished the book. let's start with how crazy it sounds today that this thing -- i said basketball. somewhere between basketball and beach ball showed up in the skies over this country. it scared a lot of people in this country, including my late parents, and it scared president john f. kennedy. >> absolutely. i mean, dwight eisenhower was president and he kind of tried to say it wasn't that big of a deal. some were calling it a grapefruit satellite. lo and behold with the headline you just showed on the "new york times," a panic kind of swept the land. this was the era of mccarthyism. now they're beating us into space with satellites. jack kennedy seizd on this. he started saying there was a missile gap, a space gap.

neil armstrong said that's one small step for man -- a giant leap for mankind six years and 311 days after that inspiring speech. we can go back to the moon if we make the commitment in five years. i think to go to mars, we have to go back to the moon first. the moon should be the place we train for going to mars. a few few examples -- the moon' gravity is one sixth of our greatest. mars is one-third. you talk to neil armstrong, i did before he passed on or buzz aldrin, they tried to walk on the moon. in minutes they learned how to hop to get around. my point is, we have a great pool by the johnson space but it's not actually working in the atmosphere gravity we have between mars and the moon. we have one difference too about going to them in the '60s. we have the rocket being built right now. the sls, it's going forward, it's online, it may be ready to fly in the next couple years. the saturn 5 came out of nowhere to go fly. we're way ahead of the curb on that one. we have the crew vehicle. this committee saved the owe ryeen capsule. we saved that capsule back to the moon to mars an

it is the spacesuit neil armstrong war on the apollo 11 mission, back in 1969.hat is when he became the first person to walk on the mound. you can check it out in d.c., this summer. at the smithsonian's national air and space museum. >>> on july 20th, it is going to be 50 years since we landed on the moon. and as i think, ray bradbury said, the surprise was not that we landed on the moon, the big surprise was that we never went back. we only went back a few times, but we did not explore anymore. it looks like china is taking up that responsibility. winds are gusting to 46 miles per hour. out at diablo, you can see the winds are kicking up out there as well, in livermore, gusts are up to 32 miles per hour, it is a windy saturday night in the bay area, wind will ease up a little bit tomorrow, a beautiful view of san jose, spackled and sunshine. as we approach sunset, tonight, concord now at 63 degrees, in san jose it is 57. the winds are up, the speeds right now are 20 miles per hour in san jose, half moon bay, 30, pleasanton 25, up in the north bay, between 10-25

thing, more important than the beaches of normandy and winning war or two, the man on the moon, neil armstrongso it's in the green new deal, nobody knows they are making it up as they go along, impeach trump. it must be done. and the character taking a break from private equity or whatever he does. and vote his wife to impeaching trump. what are the charges? they don't know. they don't have an idea and they can't tell you. democrats don't know who is leaving their party right now. alexandria ocasio-cortez says she's leaving the party, nancy pelosi scoffs passively aggressively in response to that. >> she likes to minimize the conflicts within her caucus between moderate and the progressives. who have these wings, aoc and her group on one side. >> tucker: commits like five people. and by the way the divide is not between the moderates in the progressives, there is nothing moderate about nancy pelosi. there's nothing progressive about alexandria ocasio-cortez. here is the real division. it is between equality which is the traditional legitimate -- agenda of the democratic party and the constitut

[applause] nathalia: thank you so much. i really appreciate you having me here tonight, and i am excited to talk to you about "rocket girls." this is a group of pioneers whose careers shaped nasa and really made it what it is today. before i get into their history, i want to share with you a small slice of my own history, and that is because i came to this book in a very unusual way. i started in 2010. my husband and i had just moved from california to boston, and i was pregnant. we were expecting our first baby. but we could not agree on the a name. we argued over names. we made long lists of baby names , and nothing seemed right. and then my husband, out of the blue, suggested the name eleanor francis. when i first heard the name, i thought, i am not sure. this sounds a little bit old-fashioned. so i did what parents do these days, and i googled the name. the fi

on july 20th lunar module from apollo 11 landed on the lunar surface, neil armstrong was the first personlk on the moon, buzz aldren followed him out the door. we are so happy to be joined tonight by douglas brinkley, author of the new book "american moonshot," john f. kennedy and the great space race, debuting at number 10 on the "new york times" best selling list. great to see you. sitof watching you on another network. very happy for you. i have read and finished the book. let's start with how crazy it sounds today that this thing, i said basketball, somewhere between basketball and beach ball showed up in the skies over this country, it scared a lot of people in this country, including my late parents, and it scared president john f. kennedy. >> absolutely, i mean, dwight eisenhower was president and he tried to say it wasn't that big a deal. some people were calling it a grapefruit satellite. but a panic kind of swept the land. the era of mccarthyism red scare and the idea soviets had a nuclear weapon they detonated in 1949 and hydrogen weapons and beating us into space with satellit

we had the 50th anniversary of neil armstrong and buzz aldrin for filling kennedy's moonshot ambition. putting his may 25, 1961 challenge to a joint session of congress, going to the moon by the end of the decorate -- decade, bringing and asked not home alive. we did it. kennedy gets credit for that. and listening to his leadership style, from the cuban missile crisis, the fact that at american university he gave one of the great piece speeches and did the limited test ban treaty. nobody could handle the press that of an kennedy. and you get things like the ,eace corps, the green beret the berlin wall crisis were he that great speech. when it comes to oratory and communications, kennedy was top. but in the end, the killing in presidents grow older, but he will always be the young, gallant president gunned down in his prime. the public has an enduring fascination with him and i think you will always -- you will never be in the bottom rung of presidents. he will always be of not in a great category of the top five, he will be in the top 10 for the foreseeable future. still, thererats, a

inspired by neil armstrong, of course. the great hero. >> jimmy: let's talk about "my songs."ly relic or a a museum piece. for me, it's just the starting point in the relationship. you get to know a song over the years of singing it. so, i've been singing these songs for 30 years. some of them. i know where the bodies are buried. you know, every night i sing them, and i try and find something different. so when i approach it again in the studio, i have all of that knowledge. my voice is different. >> jimmy: yeah. >> it's richer. >> jimmy: yeah. >> you know, with the way drums are recorded now. it's so different than the way it was in the 70s, or the 80s. so, it's a fun record. >> jimmy: yeah. >> but it's fun to compare the two. >> jimmy: well, i love it. i love "brand new day." i love every one of these songs. "desert rose," "if you love somebody set them free." which i heard is written -- that was written in a haunted house. is that true? >> i lived in a haunted house in north london for a very long time. >> jimmy: this is really true? >> i never believed in ghosts. i was ver

i talked to neil armstrong before he passed on and they tried to walk on the moon. they admit they learn how to hop to get around. my point is we had a great tool but it's not actually working. it's the atmosphere of gravity. we have a rocket being built right now, the sls. it's going forward and it may be ready in the next couple of years. it came out of nowhere to go fly but way ahead of the curve on that one we have the crew vehicle. the committee said the orion capsule and the destruction of the constellation prize, we saved that capsule to take human beings, americans back to the moon, to mars and beyond. it's been mentioned we have to have bigger rockets to go to mars, faster rockets. right now the moon is about two days with current rockets into jim can tell you mars is probably three months, four months, six months, 780. that means people have to have food, water supplies. that could be one big heavy rocket, have to have big propulsion system for example has what's called an going to drathen todraw a blank on it bus basically it keeps accelerating from a for

at that moment we know so well, it's been played so many times, when neil armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. does anybody remember, it was 50 years ago, 1969, duncan williams is an ordained buddhist priest and the scholar of buddhism. he is the director of the center for japanese religion and culture right here at the university of southern california where we now are sitting. this beautiful campus. his new book, americans who trust, the story of faith and freedom in the second world war. the mass incarceration of the japanese in world war ii as a scar on her packed. and now duncan writes about the cannot city. it has a new twist. after so many people were removed from their homes imprisoned in the camps, a minority of these maintained their dignity by fighting for the religious right. and it is challenging. the japanese-american buddhist insisted remarkably that they could be both buddhist and american. again, the contradictory american experience and we tried to fuse it together. so let's have each one of them began. the most obvious question as you look at these b
