the moon has only 1/6 the gravity of earth. the nature of its surface will remain unknown. >> ok, i am going to step off of he lm now. that's one small step for man, ne giant leap for mankind. >> on the surface, armstrong scoops up a small sample of lunar dust and rock, precaution against the possibility of an emergency takeoff. according to plan, astronaut adrin now descendent from the eagle. he and his equipment would weigh 383 pounds on earth. here, they weigh about 66 ounds. for brief moment, the first man on the moon stand and look at the stark, lonely landscape around them, and experience which no one before them can share. but there is much to be done in the limited time which they can stay on this airless, cloudless satellite of earth. this sheet of metal foil traps and holds particles from the sun, the so-called solar wind or barrage of solar energy which constantly strikes the moon's surface. results of this experiment will be taken back to earth to reveal new secrets to anxious cientists. an american flag is left beh

it was essential to do if you're going to the moon. the idea the proposed idea to go to the moon involved going in a mother ship that would orbit the moon and a lander that would break off from it and settle down on the moon, which it eventually did. so gemini 8 was an important part of that. unfortunately, everything went wrong with gemini 8 that could short of a catastrophe. once they hooked up with the spacecraft that was also orbiting the earth at 17,000 miles an hour, thrusters turned bulky and sort of misfiring. neil and dave scott, his co-pilot started spinning around, the craft started spinning around at a speed that was so dangerous that they came close to passing out. fortunately, they were able to break away and take manual control and return to the earth. that event had several repercussions one that neil and dave scott did very good to come back alive and not have a disaster up there that could have ended the space program. at the time, there's was a tremendous amount of opposition in congress. it was enormously expensive.

the first man on the moon was from purdue. the last man on the moon was also from purdue university. when he started the engineering program, it was from september 1947 through january 1955. it included a three-year stint in the military. he had 7.5 years here one way or another. it became an amazing era in aeronautical development. it was different then the pilots that neil armstrong wanted to be like. you had things going on here. dr. von braun out in white sands, new mexico, making the v-2 missile. the department of air force was part of the truman administration and navy administration -- aviation became large because of aircraft carriers. neil armstrong was a naval aviator. people thought he was in the air force. he had a great time in a fraternity on state street. phi delta theta. he met his future wife here at purdue. i do not want to gloss over it. his real education is being part of the korean war. he got his jet pilot wings when he was called to active duty in pensacola naval air station in florida. this is a time whe

we're going to go to the moon. u remember those days because i was just a young naval aif yaviator, and i knew s asking us to do the impossible, to do what most people thought couldn't be done. there we were 45 years ago on the 20th of july, 1969, and america made the impossible possible when neil made those first steps, that one small step for man. >> when you had a chance to speak with him, did he ever talk with you and tell you about his line, one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind? was that planned? did that just happen? >> in no way did he have those words planted in his mind to say. i think they came out only as neil could say them, which is with sincerity and the meaning that one small step that he was taking, is the way i interpret what he said, and basically what he told me, that it was really giving credit to other people. it was really his small step but it was really a giant leap for for all of us. for all mankind. >> what went through you being in the space program to see that dream realized

do you remember your strongest emotion when armstrong took the first step on the moon? bride in the accomplishments, the thousands and thousands of people who were working to make that possible and to put their lives into it. the thing i was thinking about is just the proudness i have had of our country, and what we accomplished. >> you were the 10th man to walk on the moon in 1972 in that apollo 16 mission and congratulations to you for such a major accomplishment. i understand you left a photo of your family on the moon, just, i just can't imagine what it was like to be there sir, i appreciate you time. thank you so much for your contribution to such great american history. charles duke, have a great sunday. >> you too. >> you know, it is always hard to say goodbye, especially when it is a close friend and esteemed colleague. rick reagan watched away earlier this week. for the past seven years, he brought you the breaking news here at fox news, our thoughts and hearts go out to his wife lori and his family. neutralizes acid on contact. and goes to work in seconds. ♪ t

we talked about everything but the moon. , grandkids, everything you could think of in a conversation. i felt like neil armstrong was my friend after this. not long after that, i went to the very same location with a in tow to intel -- get him to talk about one of the anniversaries. him, heminute i saw literally ran away from him -- from me. it was a different experience. i finally got him when he was coming out of the white house later that same day. i buttonholed him and buzz and mike collins at the white house and was able to interview him. but the truth is, neil armstrong was an engineers engineer, and a test pilot test pilot. -- an engineer's engineer, and a test pilot's test pilot. he was never comfortable accepting accolades that came to him. host: why was he selected? guest: maybe because of that. every says he was a civilian at the time with navy roots, which would appeal to the president, president kennedy. but the fact he was a civilian and not a member of the military at the time, maybe. but the truth is, when you

it's -- you can't have a first landing on the moon every week. it's just a natural process. but i'm lucky enough as an astronaut to have spoken in schools for the last couple decades and that same interest that you had when you were with your dad watching the moon landing, the same one i had, it burns brightly. you just sort of forget as you turn into an adult, but for 20 years i've been speaking in schools and the interest from the kids, the question they ask and inspiration they get from it is palpable and real. so i wouldn't lose heart. it's an amazing part of everything that we're doing. and i was really delighted to have had a chance to be part of it for so many years also. >> chris hatfield, thanks for sharing your insight. i appreciate it. >> thanks, carol. nice to talk with you. >> nice talking with you. the space race the focus of tonight's cnn series "the '60s" tune in at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. >>> still to come in the "newsroom" a long and dangerous journey from central america to the united states. ♪ >> music on top of a train known as the beast. it'

and what is different is the moon is closer to earth in the orbit, so it's slightly off from a circle. sometimes it's actually closest to us doing a crescent moon and what is special is the full moon is happening during this time. >> reporter: the moon will look larger and be about 14% brighter than the normal full moon. there's three in a row, so this month and the next month, so july, august and september, all being supermoons, which means the full moon and the pairrajee are close to one another, within a day, and that does not happen usually. it won't happen again until 2015. >> reporter: this supermoon will be visible throughout the weekend and you can see it starting at sunset. >> the view of the moon may not be so super tonight because we have heavy fog in the bay into the inland valleys but we got this shot. we have clear skies here but there is fog there and around the bay area. midnight tonight, a push of the low clouds into the livermore valley and concord and north bay valley and clear to the south bay but the low clouds will fill in for san jose and santa clara co

we did go to the moon with the apollo program. that was truly amazing when you consider what we accomplished. around whenyou were we went to the moon in july of 1969 and are member that? -- and remember that? of the audience. i was young midshipmen at the naval academy. i was 12 years old when alan shepard flew that first mission. i remember watching it. we were gathered around the tv, watching that. when we landed on the moon, watching that is a midshipmen in 1969 at the naval academy and i never dreamed i could he in astronaut. my goal was to fly. i will talk to the students over here about also what you can accomplish when you put your mind to it. midshipmen, i actually got to see apollo 13 launch at kennedy. i had black and white photos of the rockets being stacked up to go to the moon. we heard it before we got to see the actual launch. of 1970.in april i wish i would have taken a picture of me because i never dreamed i would be in astronaut, let alone be the director of the kennedy space center. now we are transforming it fo

that's essentially 80% of the software we'll fly on space x explorations around the moon. the actual dome for 2017, space one, is actually manufactured in new orleans. we're putting in a large machine and will actually start building the tanks down there. we're working on the exploration upper stage for the mars class mission. so by the time we get to 2016 we're going to have significant hardware, in fact we do today, that you can go out and touch and see. what we're doing, if somebody decides they want to revector and do lunar activities, they can, but we're staying focused toward mars, destination independent but capability driven and try to make that point to the next group that comes in with an idea, ok, we understand what you would like to do, we've created enough flexibility in the division to let us change it a little bit but don't lose where we're going. >> how much metal do you have to bend? how many congressionally linked jobs do you have to have before you have inertia for a program so it sustains itself? what does it take? >> if i could answer that, i'd had a ph

neil also a start enough to know after he landed on the moon that was it. he wasn't going to get is a national hero because that is what kennedy did to john lennon. john glenn after he for the first orbital flight or curry would've never gotten a chance to fly because kennedy told nasa he is a national hero and you don't risk his life. besides, lan and kennedy became pretty good rents. >> yeah, so it was obviously a great skill in being picked and also a bit of luck with the mission's lineup in order that he would become commander. >> that is right. what you see, the let played out that when they landed, 11 west to make the first landing. so neil got that one of commander. they talk about it during the apollo eight. they talked about it in mission control because they are too framed or admin, backup commander. so they talked about it and, you know, he asked about the crew. i called the crew of the boat amidst its because they weren't here drinking buddies. they were from different backgrounds. as neil said, i wasn't looking for buddies to drink with. i was l

exploration, but the apollo 11 moon landing itself. part of it is the plan from the beginning was very much a cold war endeavor. president kennedy makes the bold promise, and it's very much to defeat the soviets. the cold war had eased significantly by 1969, so that's not a factor anymore. a lot of domestic problems, the war in vietnam, and a lot of people thought that is great we made it to the moon, but now it is time to focus on more pressing issues. coming out of the counterculture, there's less faith that the best way to understand the world and universe is going to the moon and collecting rock samples and studying them. the images people had about a space prior to apollo were images of science fiction. the actual moon landings are very different from that. you have these men in these thick spacesuits kind of stumbling around. they can only survive a short amount of time before they have to go back to the capsule, and it made people start to understand we are probably not going very far in space, that the earth really is all we hav

they want to catch one, pull it into the orbit of the moon and send astronauts there to study it. it's called the asteroid redirect mission. the first phase of the mission involve as robotics spacecraft rendezvousing with a spall asteroid and pulling it into the orbit of the moon. to do this nasa has come up with two options. option a would engulf an as stroid with a tent-like contrapping. option b would break off a boulder from a much larger as stroid. after the as stroid is in the orbit of the moon, they would visit using the some day transp humans to mars. the budget is approximately $1.2 billion. now, why does the u.s. want to spend all of this money to capture an asteroid? nasa says there are several reasons like planetary defense. remember that as stroid that buzzed -- asteroid that buzzed over russia? it only sideswiped us. the thinking goes ifer' able to change the orbit of an asteroid and study its composition, we can protect ourselves against another one crashing into earth. we could potentially mine asteroids and use the mission as a testing ground for the technologies t

we will be orbiting the moon. that means that, some people will hopefully take an opportunity to drop out of lunar orbit to the surface. we have commercial partners. we have international partners who are saying we can't do it on our own. if you can help us, we think we can get to the surface of the moon. we have challenges going on right now to see if commercial companies or entrepreneurs can put things on the surface of the moon. the u.s. government can't do everything. i said, our plan to go to mars is based on a budget that we propose today with some modest increases in the outyears. we are not going to get four percent of the federal budget. in this group, if you are serious about wanting to go to mars, then start thinking about reality and reality is the budget. we are not going to get four percent of the federal budget to go to mars. i think we can do it. you all may not agree if you feel we've got to have apollo era funding level, then forget it now. -- agree. if you feel we've got to have apollo era fundin
