you were there when the flight to the moon was born. interesting thought and i have expressed a few times the decision was made after we had 15 minutes of total spaceflight time. but the fact of the matter is that is true and this is how it happened. we were invited back to washington after the mission and i got a nice little metal from the president which by the way dropped. remember that scene or not but it had been lucinda from its clip and so as the president made the speech and said i now present you a medal and he turned around and leaned forward and the things laid off and went to the deck. kennedy and i both bent over for it and we almost banged heads. he made it first and then he said in his yankee accent he said i give you this metal that comes from the ground up. he says pin it on him so he then recovers and everything was fine and we had a big laugh. originally we were supposed to proceed to the congress after the white house ceremony and jack said i want you to come back to the white house and let's talk about your flight so

because suddenly apollo 13 on the way to the moon ran into huge problems. i wonder what you thought when the problem developed and what did you do during that time period? >> well, of course the immediate thought was how to -- do we get these guys back. obviously right from the start it was the end of a landing mission. no question about that. but it was interesting to see the entire system, the entire system being flushed out, being made to come back with any kind of a recommendation. and of course chris craft and gene cranes were the guys that held everybody together on this thing. and said, look, we have to find a way to bring these boys back. failure is not an option. and as you well know, the whole system was vibrating and any -- any corner of the manufacturing processes, the vendoring processes, and nasa people, everybody was working toward a solution for this problem. as it turned out, it was more than one solution. i mean, several different areas of engineering had to be address and corrected and i think that it is probably nasa's finest hour when yo

because you were there when the flight to the moon was born. wasn't that right? following your very first successful suburban omission. tell us about it. >> well, it's an interesting thought. i've heard expressed a few times. and that is that the decision that jack kennedy made to go to the moon was made after we only had 15 minutes of total spaceflight time. other people [inaudible] . but the fact of the matter is that that is true. and this is how it happened. we were invited back to washington after the mission. and i get out and i get a nice medal from the president. which, by the way, he dropped. [laughs] i don't know if you remember that scene or not. but they had the thing in a box. and it had been loosened from its little clip and so as the president made a speech and said, i now present you with this metal, he turned around and webb lean forward and it's laid out the box. we both bent over for. it mean kennedy almost banged heads. webb went over and in his darn yankee accident, he said, i give you this middle, it comes from the ground up!

the space launch system will launch within a few months, and the artemis program will return to the moon, and that is underway. we also celebrated the 20th anniversary of continuous occupation of the international space station, the iss, last november, recognizing expedition one when bill sheppard ushered in the current era of space exploration. we are privileged to have bill testify today as one of our expert witnesses. a lot has happened since then. we suffered the tragic loss of columbia in 2003, grounded the shuttle fleet for over two years as part of the return to flight effort, and completed space shuttle assembly on the iss in 2011, canceled the shuttle program as we developed new spacecraft, and relied on the russian so use launches for to long. the iss and the international partnerships that enabled it remain resilient. after 20 years of continuous operations. however, the iss is beginning to show its age, cracks and leaks are popping up, solar rays recently upgraded, and the spacesuits necessary for spacewalks need to be replaced. the first segments of the iss have a design lif

and 1969, we're landing people on the moon, that's an impressive feat. who knows what the next 20 or 30 years will bring us. >> morgan chesky, what are you excited see today? >> reporter: well, jose, we were back here in late july and we saw this inaugural flight take off with jeff bezos onboard. and i would have to tell you, having witnessed one of these, that it would be lessened somewhat. but to stand here just a few miles away from this launch pad and see captain kirk hop onboard that capsule, this is a nervous, exciting energy starting to build here, especially as we see that countdown clock hit 15 minutes after that hold of about half an hour here. and of course anyone had any question about the impact of william shatner onboard this flight, look no further than what was inside the media hanger here. "star trek" cookies themselves. the badge right there. everyone just fully soaking in this moment. we're about to see the oldest person go into space right now. and if everything goes according to plan, it will be a carbon copy of what we witnessed in l
