neil armstrong was reserved. as his family and i were just chatting, he was in some respects even shy. that was how it struck me on the few occasions i had the great privilege to speak with him. i just told rick that my young daughter, charlotte and i, had the privilege of watching one of of the last space shuttle launches with neil armstrong, and i was struck by his humility and modesty and how quickly he deferred whatever he had accomplished to the literally hundreds of thousands of men and women and engineers who made it possible for him to be there and to come home safe. but among his colleagues, it's important to remember on this day, when we unveil this historic spacesuit, that neil armstrong was called the ice commander. generations who enjoy this display, i think, would do well to remember the strength of character and courage of this man. just months before apollo 11, armstrong lost control of an ungainly training designed to help astronauts train for the moon landing. and history records he ejected just

turns out that neil armstrong took this camera and put it inside the bag. all it a a mcdivot purse or armstrong purse. he put a number of miscellaneous things in there and brought them back as souvenirs. it ended up in one of his closets and after he passed away, his wife contacted the museum because she had found it and we look at this material and were thrilled to see this camera was in there and not left on the the moon. >> is it on display or kept elsewhere? >> it's currently on display. so we have a special apollo 11 case that hwe brought out some artifacts. >> one of the other things before we go, the computer that was used. talk about the computer that was versus what we have today as far as it computing power. >> it was extremely robust and sophisticated for the time. with apollo, they had to be very, very small and so you see this huge shift happening here. there was a lot of research and document that would pay off later on in the development of that industry. it was small and extremely reb liable. the software was hand woven with ropes and so it w

but it turns out that neil armstrong took this camera and put it inside this bag, we call it an mcdivot purse or armstrong purshe, he put a number of miscellaneous things in there, and ended up in one of his closets. after he passed away, the wife sent it to the museum and we were thrilled to see that this camera was in there and not left on the moon. >> is it currently on display or kept elsewhere? >> it is currently on display. we have a special apollo 11 case where we brought out some of the artifacts for the anniversary. >> one of the other things was some of the calls with the computer that we use today, as far as its computing power. >> compared to computers today, it had limited computing power, but it was extremely robust and sophisticated. this was a point in history when there was a huge change between computers getting larger and larger, and with apollo, they had to be very small, and so you see this huge shift happen here, and there was a lot of investment in research and development in apollo computers that would then pay off later on in the development of that industry. so

through neil armstrong's eyes, they saw what he saw.at the earth and seeing it as a fragile resource. i wasn't alive, of course, for it, and so getting to relive it in my own generation is really, really special. since those heady days, 90% of astronauts have been men. but in 2019, the space age took another small step into the modern age. flight engineers christina koch and jessica meir made history as they stepped out of the international space station. their mission involved routine maintenance but there was nothing routine about it, as they became the first all—female spacewalking team in more than half a century of space travel. we hope that we can provide an inspiration to everybody, not only women, but to everybody that has a dream, that has a big dream and that is willing to work hard to make that dream come true. but 2019 wasn't all about space. there was a breakthrough in the treatment of parkinson's disease, the eradication of a deadly virus from the face of the earth and one of my personal favourites, the researchers who are

had not yet reached to fly to the moon 5 days later in the early morning of july 21st neil armstrong uttered his unforgettable words. or their. armstrong and aldrin spent a total of $200.00. half hours on the surface of the moon as they collected rock samples and raised the american flag they were watched live by 600000000 people only a few of them were aware that the successful moon landing was hanging by a thread in now says mission control center in houston cap com charlie duke had direct radio contact with neil armstrong. now 82 years old he can still recall the dramatic moments. we get very very tight on fuel i call 60 seconds which many as 60 seconds delay and i call 30 seconds the tension is rising in mission control you could hear a pin drop and we were holding our breath will we make it i called 30 seconds and then 13 seconds later he landed but it was very very tight. and very close to abort . yet the 1st lunar landing was a success. 3 years later charlie duke got his own entry in the annals of space travel. don young and i were the 5th landing on the moon back in april nig

it was in neil armstrong's hands at that point. neil was a very, very good pilot.that the computer was taking him into a boulderfield, so he had to manoeuvre to try to find a smooth place. and the fuel gauge was headed down, and we were watching it. and it was nerve—racking. i never will forget when buzz aldrin said we were picking up dust, he did that a little less than 100 feet above the surface, and that is when i thought, "we will make it." when they first touched down, it was a great relief. i remember being proud — we did it! neil told me one time, "it's like an automobile, when it is on empty, there is a little bit left in the tank." neil went down the ladder, the television picture was pretty grainy, but we could basically tell what he was doing. i think everybody was just awestruck, and there was very little being said in that room. he first actually got down to the footpath, and he was standing there, i think he was collecting his thoughts, and i think he wanted to make sure that he was calm enough and not too excited, which he never was. then he took the

three years before aretha made those extraordinary baptist church recordings, neil armstrong became thean event which marked its 50th anniversary in 2019. unsurprisingly, cinema joined in the celebrations with the documentary apollo 11 using remarkable footage to revisit those epochal events ,completing the viewer right there in that tin can that to the moon and back. on the fictional front, there were also several movies this year that portrayed space as the final frontier. the most high—profile of these was james gray's ad astra, which was pitched as 2001 meets apocalypse now but was actually more like event horizon with added interstellar overdrive. ad astra may have had a big star name to fall but so did french director claire denis' altogether more adventurous high life. in which robert pattison joined a misfit crew on a voyage into the heart of darkness. even though we're forwards, getting farther from what's getting nearer... but my own personal favourite was an astonishing existential adventure adapted from an epic poem by swedish nobel laureate harry martinson. i saw echoes of

when we think of the space race we often think of legendary astronauts, neil armstrong, buzz aldrin and john glenn. what many people forget is they were part of a a larger story. when i became chairman i had the privilege to meet the chairman of the fcc during the early part of the kennedy administration here to me the most interesting part of our conversation was his description have the fcc when he was chair helped to spur the beginning of the u.s. commercial space industry. he believed putting satellites into space was more important and putting a human being into space. as he put it, key medication satellites are more important than sending a man into space because they will launch ideas and ideas will last longer than men and women. that's the way i see it from the 21st century. we are setting the stage for a new space age. there's no telling what kind of innovation can be realized for the benefit of american and, indeed, global consumers if we put in place the right policies. i look forward to working with you to do that and to help companies here and around the world sees the opp
