neil armstrong was our spokesperson and he was amazingly good at that job. neil was a taciturn man.he did not want to be in the spotlight. but if you put him in the spotlight, he knew where he was and what to say. he had done his homework. he was not just an astronaut. he had a breadth of knowledge and a whole panoply of interests way off from one corner to the other. an amateur historian, primarily the history of science but not entirely. when he got to a particular capital he had done his homework about that place. he knew some of the local problems, had a feeling for the local ambience and he would make a very short, impassioned, effective speech when he was through his five or 10 minutes those people felt like they were ready to crawl on board with us and go into space. he was remarkable that way. that was when i first became aware in a small way of some of the ramifications of this thing that we called apollo 11. >> once you told me a story about a toast neil armstrong gave mentioning tesla in belgrade. >> oh yes. >> i was wondering if you could share that with the audience. >>

it is why today we move to honor armstrong's legacy by renaming the plum brook station at nasa's research center to he neil a. armstrong research test facility. plum brook is home to an array supporting our country's endeavors into the unknown. powerful om the most pace simulators to full scale aunch for test vehicles, plumb brook -- plum brook's facility inspire the way to next generation of leaders and to explore the universe. this bill has passed the united states senate via unanimous support of has the the entire ohio congressional delegation. and nk senators portman brown on this bill and thank chair womb johnson and ranking chairwoman johnson and ranking member lucas. i urge my colleagues to support this legislation, and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from ohio reserves. the gentlewoman from oklahoma is recognized. minutes i yield four to the gentlewoman from ohio, ms. kaptur. t's very fitting we have another ohioan to speak on this bill. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from ohio is recognized for four minutes. ms. kaptur: yes, mr. speaker, let me fi

two giant leaps to freedom, a bit cribbed from a neil armstrong.ow the delete mirror might see it? i think we would probably have sort of a mixed view on that. i mean, i think as you pointed at the picture, there is an image on the front page of a woman having a vaccine, obviously huge news today where with the approval of the oxford/astrazeneca jab, which can has been hailed as a game changer and really will help this country to accelerate our vaccination programme so that's a huge moment. so when that sense, thatis huge moment. so when that sense, that is a great leap for our freedom from the virus, but with that has come huge restrictions and further restrictions on the lee life in terms of greater numbers of people being put into tier 4. so it's a mixed feeling there and i think for us on mixed feeling there and i think for us on brexit, we would... i think the mirror would probably be about as divided as the country has been on it. and it's sort of the people i think and home will be feeling sad about the end of our time in the us we both will

i made this for the neil armstrong biopic "first man" last year. this is the costume ryan gosling wore re-creating one of armstrong's flights. i was also -- i made a number of other things for that film, but i was also a suit consultant and helped with a lot of things because of all of the research i've done. i get called to advise on these sorts of things. i did a tremendous amount of research for that suit. this is the last living pilot of the x15 program, a technical consultant on the film. he absolutely loved the suit. he said i got it completely right. he also said this was his favorite suit that he ever wore. if you know him, he trained for apollo, so he wore apollo suits. he flew on the shuttle. he has worn a lot of pressure suits. he had an emotional moment looking at the suit again. those emotional moments have made the line of work i am in now very rewarding. that is it for my intro. i would like now to introduce nikolai. [applause] >> hello, thank you for coming. i am from russia. i have worked on final frontier events. i am a designer.

. -- 60 —— 60 years ago, neil armstrong lost his daughter to cancer.s it was all those years ago. the lack of progress is solely down to one thing, funding. in a week with a uk government approved the covid vaccine, having spent an excess of 6 billion on research and development, it's hard to feel anything other than anger. if some of that money had been spent on curing this horrific form of cancer, imagine how many parents would have been spared the conversation we had with doctors in january. i support fully the call for funds towards research. we need a specific fund for target childhood cancer and particularly those with the lowest survival rates. we need transparency and exceptionalism and experience. every life lost is one too many. the minister pledged to do all she could to make childhood cancer a thing of the past. the challenge is a difficult one. research has been a major part of covid, as many people have said. we have shown that we can do more, we can speed up research, we can do things in parallel, but we can actually deliver speedily fro

as i read about when that big moment occurred, when neil armstrong and buzz aldrin and michael collins return safely on the apollo 11 mission, admission control they put up kennedy's moon challenge to put a man on the moon and bring them back by the end of the decade and that was a big moment for joe kennedy who was alive still and to see that his son trophy s mission was fulfilled and jackie kennedy felt closer because she felt that one big part of the legacy that would matter for john f. kennedy admin fulfilled. indeed it does. when i talk to young people now about kennedy, it used to be everyone was interested in the cuban missile crisis, the berlin wall. i find it now people are interested in the moonshot and going to the moon and kennedy tried to guess the civil rights movement and the great speech he gave at the time edgar's was killed and after martin luther king's i have a dream speech that leaders at the lincoln memorial were invited back to the white house after that just arrived today. civil rights and space seem to be catching on with young people a little more than some of

it culminated into neil armstrong's one small step. achieved far less than his supporters had hoped for. aid for public schools was rejected by congress. civil rights legislation was enacted, although the bill that was to become the civil rights congress anddy in on its way to passage with kennedy support. although not with any great enthusiasm. the most significant development of his administration was the signing of a nuclear test ban treaty with the soviet union, an agreement that banned atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons. it was the most important achievement of his presidency. it was also to be the last. in late november of 1963, kennedy went to texas on eight political mission to a democratic candidates -- on a political mission to democratic candidates -- to aid democratic candidates in the state. as it turned out, the early reactions were positive. things were going so well that on the morning of november 22, here we are in dallas. looks like everything in texas will be fine for us. within hours, he was dead. lyndon johnson

. >> because we've obviously been celebrating the anniversary of the first man on the moon, neil armstrong, and i'm wondering if, for this generation, that was comparable to what we saw in 1969. >> it was. it was sort of the moon shot of 1919. that's right. or of the early 20th century. >> we often associate the interstate highway system with president eisenhower in 1956, 1957. but explain how it all came about as we look at these films and see just how antiquated it was a hundred years ago. but it didn't start with eisenhower. >> well, no, there were other people who had ideas for our -- for an interstate highway system. fdr promoted an interstate highway system and he had fairly specific ideas about what it should look like, that there could be a transcontinental road that everyone could travel on from the east coast to the west coast. but it wasn't until eisenhower was president that actual legislation was passed. the interstate highway act of 1956. ike really lobbied very hard for that to be passed, and he considered that one of his major accomplishments. so the bill passed in 1956, an

. >>> before neil armstrong stepped on the moon, before alan shepherd flew into space, there was chuck yeager, hot shot test pilot, the best there was. he didn't believe the sound barrier existed until he broke it chuck yeager, the very first to fly faster than the speed of sound, a fete nasa says paved the way for america's accomplishments in flight and in space. here's nbc's tom costello. >> reporter: the year was 1947. >> history is made by this aircraft. >> dropped from a b-29 over the mojave desert. he soared to 45,000 feet and passed mach 1. >> for the first time a man has flown an airplane faster than the speed of sound >> the break through captured in the movie "the right stuff." only 24 years old, america's new hero was as american as they come born in vest virginia, he was a mechanic in the army air corps when he was selected for pilot training flying p-51 mustangs in world war ii he was shot down in france and evaded capture, then became an ace in a single day after downing five german fighters three years later he was preparing to break the sound barrier. no one knew if a h

i was trying to recall something equivalent and i thought back to when i was a kid and neil armstrongmoon. reporter: more than three million doses have now been shipped from pfizer's facility. the prediction is that the nation and the world will really start to see a change to arrive at what they call herd immunity when 70% of the world is inoculated. that could happen late summer, early fall if everything remains on course. the next development, of course, to watch for is that moderna's vaccine comes up for approval on thursday, with the potential of delivering 20 million doses by the end of the month. neil? neil: thank you, mike, very much. mike tobin on all of that. want to go to mark meredith in washington. he's following right now, which is an interesting sideline here, how the government follows who gets these immunizations, who gets these vaccines and these doses. they are keeping track but how are they doing it? reporter: there is so much at play right here as mike tobin and you were just talking about. the vaccines were going out, that was a huge part of this but now comes th

costello joins us with a look at his incredible life tom, if you think about it, yeager stands with neil armstrong>> he was a true original. he grew up in west virginia. he learned to fly in the military during world war ii where he was right off the bat one of the best in the country and it was a very young age such a great fighter pilot. that was only the start of this incredible life. the year was 1947. >> history is made by this aircraft. >> dropped from a b-29 over the mojave desert, charles yeager lit the rocket that pushed his experimental x-1 aircraft soaring to 45,000 feet and passed mach one. >> for the first time, a man has flown an airplane faster than the speed of sound >> the breakthrough captured in the movie "the right stuff." only 24 years old, america's new hero was as american as they come born in west virginia, he was a mechanic in the army air corps when he was selected for pilot training flying p-51 mustangs in world war ii, he was shot down over france and evaded capture, then became an ace in a single day, after downing five german fighters three years later he was preparin

the next day on july 20th, i watched a historic moon landing and watching neil armstrong on tv. it was a dream. after graduating from university i decided to stay to practice my english in the workplace. in september 1984 , i made the first step to realize my dream. i opened japan video with a strong conviction of promising future of the video business. although a recent time straining on the video demand became popular, i had found that when people still want to own a hard copy of their favorite movies. today we have grown to become one of the best sources of anime, live films and special interest movies. from japan and asia. we have expanded our product lines from dvd to a large collection of anime guides. for that purpose all type with english subtitles. i would like to draw your attention to the point is our strong commitment to community events. 1999, we organized very first annual costume parade in the country to help bring the younger generation to the cherry blossom festival. adding a contemporary culture. it has been very successful, and one of the most popular events o
