Is used to go in and grab it now on bbc news click. And manually attach it. So its a little bit more controlled process. This is click 1001 a space odyssey. Ok, im ready. Im ready to grab the dragon. 0k. Can i go . In honour of the 50th anniversary youre ready, go for it. Of the apollo 11 moon landing, weve got massive rockets, space station robot arms, here we go. And we bounce sound off the moon. Why . Because its there. There are two controllers for the arm to move it up, down, left, right, forward, back and to roll it to the correct orientation. Phew. And then when youre within pinching distance, and everything is lined up, there is a trigger to start an automated grabbing sequence. 0k. First tip, dont look out the window. Beautiful as it is, you cant reallyjudge that much from the actual scene. Instead, i need to keep my eyes on the view from the camera mounted on the robots wrist. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, already im really nervous, is this what astronauts not because they are easy, go through every. Every time there is a. Dock on the iss . But because they are hard. So said president john yeah. F kennedy in 1962. On july the 16th, 1969, at least you know that youre three astronauts, Neil Armstrong, edwin buzz aldrin, in a sim so we can always reset and Michael Collins made ready to fulfil that promise if you mess up. But they dont have that as they prepared for apollo 11. Luxury on orbit, you know. The First Crewed Mission what can go wrong . So you could bump the dragon, kind of put it away from us and put a weight on it, you could fail to capture it, i guess that to land on the moon. Would probably be the worst thing. If you were way off you could hit three men to represent the dragon in some spot. The culmination of a dream. Computer go for approach. Here at nasa in houston, texas, Mission Control monitored every aspect of the moon shot. One metre. These days its used to monitor the International Space station, once the markings on the dragon the actual control room used are lined up with the guidelines for the apollo 11 mission is undergoing a bit of a refurb on the screen, it is time to grab it. Ok, now . Pull the trigger now. Ok, now roll the hands of, now ijust going to rot it in honour of the 50th anniversary. Do that sequence. Oh, i grabbed the dragon you got it yes this is just one of so many vital skills the iss astronauts need. My test scores are in, and well, Marcos Flores is one of the current call it beginners luck if you like, Mission Controllers for the iss. There was no guarantee that apollo but have to say, 11 was going to be successful. I wasnt too shabby. You are a little on the fast side, i mean, it was really cutting edge, but you got it done, so that was great, and then dangerous stuff, wasnt it . What you really want to see is the other axes, your y and z should be really small relative yeah, definitely. To the others, so they were, there is a lot of risk involved so that was excellent, in the missions themselves and how you did a really good job. Dangerous they were, but also a lot of unknowns in terms of being able to successfully land on the moon. The 36 storey tall saturn v moves out of its Huge Assembly building and heads for the launchpad. A recent poll suggests that one to build the launch vehicle, in six britons believe the moon nasa contracted boeing, north american aviation, landing was staged. The douglas aircraft company, and ibm to help build a rocket that would end up being the biggest in the age of the internet, and most powerful ever built. Conspiracy theories run rampant, call that a rocket . This is a rocket. And claiming the moon landings inside here is the saturn v rocket. Were a hoax is at the head of the pack. Stage 1 gets you off the launchpad Companies Like nvidia have tried to use technology to prove the moon landings did happen. And up to a speed of 6000 mph. Two and a half minutes later they built a 3d render using a powerful graphics processing unit, which realistically represents how light behaves on the moon, all of this fuel is burnt. Debunking popular Conspiracy Theory about the lighting in the moon landing images being wrong. Well, we decided to do some digging on our own and examine the evidence you dont want to carry an empty that proves, yes, human beings have landed on the moon. Casing into space so you ditch it radio 35 seconds and counting, we are still go with apollo 11. Jonathan swift, the famous novelist, satirist to save on weight. Then five rocket engines reasoning will never make a man in stage 2 ignite and send correct an ill opinion you into the upper atmosphere. By which reasoning he never acquired. If someone has an unreasonable opinion about something, at 115 miles up all that based on nonsense, it doesnt matter fuel is gone, too. You ditch the second stage. How much reasoning you do with them, and this rocket on stage 3 fires youre never going to reason them you around the earth and into orbit. Out of it, because reason didnt get then it powers down and, them there to begin with. A little while later, it restarts. This time it sends you to the moon. There are the famous ones, that you know, the fact so heres the thing. That they didnt actually go to the moon, actually launched the rocket and orbited the earth, for a few times, pretended they went to the moon, and came home. Oh, radiation, thats the other one. There is no way they could have gone through the deadly van allen belt that surrounds planet earth. Theres the anomalies with the photographs, all of which are ridiculous. That bit there. Thats where the people sit. Stanley kubrick directed it in a film set in area 51, all the rest of it is fuel. Somewhere in the desert. Laughter. The technology to fake the moon landings did not exist in 1969. The technology did exist to get while the rocket was incredibly powerful, so, at the time, was to the moon in 1969, just. The Computing Power required for the apollo programme. Radio three feet down, 2. 5, picking up some dust. Big shadow, its different but its very pretty out here. Even though in Popular Culture the lunar surface cameras were based the computers of the day, which in this case were giant on our 500 el systems. Mainframes, are often compared unfavourably to we had many modifications. The viewfinders, and the mirror contemporary technology. System, all of this was removed to save weight, which then locked into a chest bracket the 360 75 that we used on the astronauts suit. Was a 1 mip machine and it was literally moving one million instructions per second. Their body, tilting their body, and it had 1 meg of real memory or1 to frame up the images. Million bytes of real memory and 4 you cant see any stars million bytes of auxiliary memory. Because the contrast range the numbers you hearfor the iphone of the surface images is too high. That i own are anywhere from 10,000 times as fast as that to even if its a bright day and you stand a million to maybe even i think ive seen one that was 100 outside a house and open the door to the house and look in, million times as fast. You cant see any of the detail because its too bright where you are. Homer programmes the actual code used for the descent and ascent so this is as close as a modern of the Lunar Landing module. And onjuly the 20th 1969 it kicked equivalent as we would have. In, as Neil Armstrong piloted it has a 100 megapixel sensor. We look to the surface today the lunar lander onto the moons surface. Would not be able to capture stars were going that line. And lunar surface detail in the same image. Radio 0h gee, thats great. Is the lighting here decent . One of the issues of doing it in a studio is the dust on the moon. Music plays. And when there is no atmosphere, dust behaves differently to when there atmosphere. Right, were go. So now you would have to have a studio that you evacuated weve had shut down. The eagle has landed. And had a vacuum in. And now all the space suits have to really work and the studio has to be unbelievably fortified to withstand the pressure of the atmospheric pressure outside at 0239 hours armstrong exited the studio pushing in on the vacuum. The landing module and uttered you have to really try really hard, the immortal phrase. And have great faith in the fact thats one small step for a man, that you could fake it. One giant leap for mankind. Now, as any good tourist knows, photos are a must. Why dont they have faith armstrong and aldrin also left in the scientists and the engineers a plaque and a flag. And took a phone call who actually, and the astronauts, and the 20,000 companies that made it happen . From president richard nixon. Theres no faith that lot. Hello, neil and buzz, im talking to you by telephone but Stanley Kubrick and his film from the oval room at the white house. Set, theres lots of faith. And this certainly has to be the most historic phone the Lunar Mission comes call ever made. As a climax of the space race that the United States and soviet union have been competing in since the mid 1950s for technological and scientific supremacy. And what did we learn from the Apollo Missions that we still use today . The soviets possessed advanced we are leveraging a lot tracking capabilities of their own, of the experience that we gained and have used them to track icbm with the vehicles themselves missiles as well as spaceflight. In terms of the rocket design, the capsule design, and what it so their inability to detect takes for us to safely, a conspiracy of this nature seems unlikely. You know, send that body up to space and bring it back down. Moreover, they would have had every so lets head to the front incentive to expose this in order of the International Space station. To score a major propaganda victory. Thats not something you get to say every day. Apollo engineers were very well aware of the van allen belt. We are now in front a, it wasnt in them for very long, of the International Space station. And b, it charted a course actually Allison Mcintyre is chief of nasas space vehicle mock up facility where the van allen belt and she is giving us it is quite weak anyway. A tour of her realm. You would think that having moon were in amongst past spacecraft, rocks on the earth would be living prototypes of future ships, and a replica of the International Proof that the conspiracy space station thats used theories can be debunked. To train future astronauts. Those rocks are still being studied today. Some of them are sealed up, we have a canadian, never yet been touched, because the scientist, even back in the 60s in the 70s, knew that technology would get david saint jacques, better with time and they would be able to make new scientific discoveries. We have, left by the apollo three americans, and then two astronauts on the moon, russian crewmembers. Retro reflectors, these are passive experiments, every american whos flown to space where, a bit like cats eyes, since 1980 has has trained we can fire a laser at them. In this facility. Bounce lasers from the earth to the moon to understand the changing behaviours of the moon and its orbit. So this morning we had it is sadly not enough an emergency scenario, for the deniers, so you can actually you pump smoke they will always see conspiracy. Into a module and they run while conspiracies have been around for decades, their procedures through it. They certainly have a new lease and nasa is responsible for all the integrated training. On life in the age of the internet. So while the crewmembers may go to russia to get their russian things like facebook groups, let all these disparate ideas systems training, to europe to get training on the columbus european where people come together and find space agencys module, each other in a way we have here we do integrated training, the emergency scenarios, never had before. And then these routine operations, which is sort of a day in the life. So the romans had conspiracy theories, theyjust didnt even though youve got part have the internet. Of the Space Shuttle now we still have conspiracy in here and youve got a clone theories, because we are humans of the International Space station and our brains are fallible, and spacecraft of the future here, and we have the internet, its a perfect storm. Too, there are echoes of apollo everywhere. The moon is so far away, this is 0rion, which will take astronauts close nearly 250,000 miles in fact. To the moon in 2022. And its design is very familiar. But somehow, lj rich has found a way to get closer. Whistles. If you cant make it to the moon, dont worry you can always leave a message. Whistles. I am in pula, croatia, at an mtf labs event. Music tech fest runs it. Its a community of sound lovers this is significantly larger who thrive on pushing the boundaries than apollo, but a similar shape. Of music using technology. And thats because, and this evenings entertainment is out of this world while technology changes, an interactive work of art physics dont change. Called sister moon. So the physics of this entering the atmosphere is the same as it was in apollo. Everything inside is higher tech right now, people are queueing up and were incorporating things behind me talk to the moon. Like exercise equipment, but it has to fit into a very small volume, a toilet has to fit yeah. Into a very small volume. Did apollo not have a toilet . Its the perfect time of year apollo did not have a toilet. For this planetary cosmic art they deserve a medaljust for that. Project, and proving very popular. Yes, yes. To what extent did the Apollo Missions shape our understanding now i can hear you. Good evening of how to do the moon . Quite a lot. Good evening and wilkommen dwingeloo when we first started via a live Internet Connection launching space missions, notjust apollo, but mercury into the cabin, my words are carried and gemini, we didnt know if humans on radio waves from the dwingeloo could eat in space, for example. Telescope, two hours outside of amsterdam in the netherlands. Just fundamental questions, what will happen to the body when youre free floating im gonna speak into the microphone, in zero gravity . And you two are going to do and there is one extremely important something with my voice, relate it to the moon. Change that well see in future yeah, we are going to put it on a radio wave and were going send it to the moon. Missions to the moon. 1. 25 seconds later, my words tell me about the people that reach the moons surface. Will be the next people to stand my words are bounced back down to earth and i hear them on the moon. So our administrator has said after the return journey 2. 5 seconds in total. That the next people to land hello moon people. On the moon will be the next man and the first woman will be on that radio hello moon people. Whats the weather like up there . First mission and put boots on the moon. Radio whats the weather and so thats very like up there . Exciting for all of us. What kind of music do you like . Honestly, right now, ourastronaut corps is about 40 female. Radio what kind so they have some great of music do you like . Astronauts to choose from. They will get the best of the best in 1956 this was among the worlds first moving and it doesnt take much for that radio astronomy antennas. To be a female. After decommissioning it was lovingly restored, and is now used for Science Education and art project like this one. I have to say, i have done strange things in my time, hello and welcome to the week in tech. But i am not sure sticking with space, it was the week that Virgin Galactic quite what they are. Announced its plans to go public in a merger with a new york next day, i caught up with listed investment firm. The artist, martine nicole rojina, the move means a big cash boost for the human space flight company. To find out how she and the moon got on speaking terms. And the European Space agency showed i always wanted to become off a 3 d printing skin and bones an astronaut, aand i am in love technique designed for low gravity. The idea being that an injured i always wanted to become an astronaut, and i am in love astronaut could one day rustle up a bone or two while with celestial bodies and in love with the universe, and i am in love with the fact on a voyage to mars. That we are made of stardust, and i have been watching universe the agency also unveiled a bouncing bot destined for the stars. Documentaries since i was a kid. And i believe that it has the aptly named spacebot a wonderful tra nsformative effect, to leave your system, literally, could navigate the moon, go to another sphere, another celestial body, mars, or asteroids by hopping about rough terrain. Bounce back and what happens is, back down on earth, it was also inside your mind, you are going the week British Airways was slapped to see the world from the outside, with a £183 million fine after half a million of its customers details the earth from the outside, were compromised in a Security Breach last year. And you are going to realise that the penalty from the uk watchdog actually we are on a information commissioners offices is the first to be made spaceship ourselves. Under new gdpr rules. Instagram launched a lovely way to democratise a new anti bullying ai, nudging users are you sure celestial communication, you want to post this .

Dont forget, we are on social media youtube, facebook, instagram and twitter, at bbcclick. Thanks very much for watching, and well see you soon. Hello. The first half of the weekend has been mainly dry and fine for most. For others, a few hefty showers, particularly across the eastern side of scotland, into the pennines, through the midlands, east anglia and south east england. This building area of High Pressure through the early hours of sunday morning will tend to ease away most of the showers but we could keep one or two going first on sunday across east anglia and south east england. A lot of cloud around to start the day. It will thin and break. Well all see some spells of sunshine, particularly across northern ireland, a fine day here. Still the chance of one or two showers across the Higher Ground of scotland, Northern England and wales. Maybe one or two across south west england, but most will have a mainly dry day, fairly light winds as well, except for eastern coasts. Brisker breeze here, a bit more in the way of cloud at times, just keeping temperatures pegged back to around 17 or 18 celsius. Further west, in the best of the sunshine, 21 24 celsius. Some fine conditions for the cricket World Cup Final at lords. A lot of cloud around through the morning, but it will thin and break and by the afternoon some spells of sunshine, lighter gentle north easterly breeze, highs of 21 celsius. Similar conditions at wimbledon as well. So its a fine evening for most. Late spells of sunshine. As the night wears on, more cloud feeding into northern scotland, eastern parts of scotland and england. Could be low enough that cloud to bring some patchy drizzle but for most it is a dry night. Clearer skies further west. Slightly cooler night as well, lows of between nine and 13 celsius. Its a quiet start to the new week. Weve still got our area of High Pressure so its mainly dry. Some cloud around through the morning, will thin and break, much more sunshine by the afternoon, fewer showers as well, if any. Most will stay dry. Temperatures up a notch, 21 24 celsius. A little bit warmer along eastern coasts as the winds subtly changes direction. As we go from monday into tuesday, heres our area of High Pressure still with us. Look whats happening in the the atlantic, though, a frontal system starting to make inroads. So thats going to start to produce some showers on tuesday, perhaps across northern ireland, the western side of scotland and just filtering their way a bit further north and eastwards, across scotland through the day. It could become heavy in places. For much of england and wales, dry, fine, very warm 2a or 25 celsius on tuesday afternoon. But heres our front as we go into wednesday, starting to push its way further eastwards. So whilst most of england and wales will probably stay mainly dry for a time on wednesday, we will see increasing cloud and eventually some outbreaks of rain. And that means in turns more unsettled by the end of the week. Bye bye. This is bbc news. Welcome if youre watching here in the uk or around the globe. Im reged ahmad.
