a lot of people don't realize, they focus on the men who actually landed on the moon. over 400,000 americans working across the country enabled that incredible feat of going in eight years from president a directive, to us actually landing on the man. it did take a nation to make it happen. we are going to be talking about those stories. we are also going to look forward. i don't want this to turn into a, our best days are behind us. our best days are in front of us. we will go back to the moon. we will send humans to mars. that will happen during our lifetime. we want to inspire the next generation. i want a young girl who came into my museum to celebrate the 50th anniversary of apollo, i want her to be the first person to walk on mars. [applause] ross: is there anything that has not been on display that is backstage from the main stuff that is really fascinating? tell you,ave to obviously as new director, i get to poke around and things. we have over 5500 pieces of art. a lot of it is from the apollo era that i have gotten to go back and look at are absolutely incredi

jules vern wrote about the boys to the moon in the 1865. he surprisingly got some things right including somehow the future location of kennedy space center. even if we had been able to reach the moon in some victory in europe -- apollo program, it would not have resonated in the same way. televisioncy of live and the warmth of the pictures in life magazine, a color photo of the earth rising above the lunar horizon and the voice of jim lovell on the radio confirming the existence of santa claus from the moon on christmas eve. the coverage of apollo was more than a record of a program. andut the bravery, risk most of all, the humanity of the endeavor centerstage. it invited us all to join in on what president kennedy had called our greatest adventure. the level of excitement and engagement is what i want people to feel when they visit the national air and space museum. i know capturing the energy of breaking news can be a challenge for our museum, even one full of famous flying machines. but we had it once when construction began on our muse

we know you're going to the moon. we want to be a part of it. let us know how we can be a part of it. that's a strong position for the united states to be in. >> in the near future? >> maybe not with the gateway in particular but certainly there will be other announcements. >> in terms of the gateway in general this has turned into the focus plan for human asked -- human exploration plans. for the first element, the powerful-- element. >> you are trying to get me to make news here. >> we now have a baa out there and we are going to get the best advice from the industry about our traditional and commercial partners and everyone in between. we want to see everything that is out there and available with us. that being said, the arc-- the architecture being developed, we will be inspecting capabilities to determine who can provide what and make assessments. all of that is in development and at this juncture i am not willing to say who is where in the process. >> nice try. another aspect is the international space station. the net present-- the nasa b

might have had early on all led by the time of apollo eight is trans lunar flight to fly around the moon and test the apollo concepts to come back them to earth by that time the momentum really stalled out in the soviet union because of what the americans had done and these terrible tragic losses and then you have female castro and cuba you have the bay of pigs and as you put it in this book the my rocket is bigger than your rocket when i don't know as if there had not been that original competition has brian said you know we never would have gotten to the moon in the end it was either one thing for j.f.k. to put his foot down and say by the end of the decade we were going to do this but it was very complex thing to do of course for any nation and without that competition and the aura that backdrop of the cold war it certainly never would have happened i believe but before the jig was up in the mission had been accomplished by apollo eleven the american astronauts and the russian cosmonauts were already becoming something of a fraternity independent of the political powers and apollo fif

we choose to go to the moon. we chooses to to the moon. [applause] we choose to go to the move and do the other things. not because they are easy. but because they are hard. because that will serve to organize and measure the best of our energy and skills. >> we wanted to do something bold to beat the russians. let send humans to the moon and returning them safely before the end of the 1960's. as the country was starting to think about going to the moon, one of the questions we had was how do you know where you are going? if you travel to a foreign country, you take a map with you to figure out where you are going. if you travel to a foreign world, you had better have a map so you don't hit the side of a mountain or run into a crate or something like that. it was a critical part of preparing to go to the moon. >> we are inside the 24-inch clark observatory. it was established in 1894. this is well before arizona was even a start. when he came out here, he had grown up back east. he came from a very wealthy family. he got interested in astr

little distracted right now, as he has bought the first tickets for elon musk‘s 2023 mission to the moon alone though. i met up with the avid art collector at the louis vuitton foundation in paris where his $110 million basquiat painting is currently on show. ever since i was a kid, i have loved the moon very much. after hearing about spacex, at what point did you start to think, yes, i actually want to go and do this? yusaku wants to bring artists along with him, at his expense, to see how their experience inspires their work. maybe it will be a musician, a painter, a dancer, a film director, i don't know yet. so right now there are still a lot of things in question, a lot needs to be developed. how likely do you think is that this is going to go ahead? so you trust elon musk, you know him, do you like him, are you friends, would you like him to come? he is crazy, like me. (laughs). is he crazy enough to want to go to the moon? i am very honoured to do that. what do you hope that you may come back thinking, feeling, or having learnt? how much does a ticket to the moon cost? i cannot say

( laughter ) >> very good. that line wasn't, "vietnam war, what is it good for?" it was "war." so vietnam shaped what war is to me., ere are statues of proud soldiers standing there brandishing weapons and things. and i said, "why would anyone build a statue if war is this bad?" and then i realized the vietnam war had that weight of moral turpitude, and other wars, no. no one felt that way about them. people were proud to fight in the second world war, to rid europe of fascism. and so, i no longer pass judgment on whether something is invoked for war, recognizing that there are times when your security matters and there are bad agents operating, either domestically or internationally and sometimes you'll need it. i ma

to the moon we haven't gone to mars which keep inventing cool smartphones and virtual reality glasses and stuff but it seems like space is being neglected is this the calm before a big storm some kind of a huge breakthrough what could that be. i will say that space is really in a very interesting phase right now what we see is there. a least in the in few countries the flourishing of the private sector so commercial activists in the space this is because. certain number of technologists become mature. you see for example in the history of space first telecommunication matter logical saw the lights and now at the base of ation they're becoming more and more. developed towards applications and services for the benefit of human kind on earth and so we hit you see a lot of companies really created every day to work on the downstream as we say so on on up location and services how to really can space benefit sustainable development on earth for sure if we look at the inspiration of the moon mars and beyond this is something that governments have to take over and for sure this time is to be
