Among the large headlines concerning apollo this morning theres one asking that you watch for a lovely girl with a big rabbit. Hello there. An ancient legend says a beautiful chinese girl has been living there for 4,000 years. It seems she was banished to the moon because she stole the pill of immortality from her husband. You might also look for her companion, a large chinese rabbit who is easy to spot since he is always standing on his hind feet in the shade of a cinnamon tree. The name of the rabbit is not reported. Okay. We will keep a close eye out for the bunny girl. And in corby, england an irish man john koil has won the world porridge eating championship from a field of 35 other competitors. Over.

The eagle has wings. On its own now, but with columbia near at hand, it coasted around to the backside of the moon and there while out of direct communication with the earth it fired its engine to slow its dissent to a touchdown on the near side of the moon. Collins and columbia continued in orbit, awaiting their return. Flight controllers, go for rending. Retro. Go. Guidance. Go. E con. Go. Cap com, we are go for landing. You are go for landing. Over.

So we wont know with certainty or having a reasonable time back until about an hour before the scheduled event. [ speaking Foreign Language ] [ speaking Foreign Language ] and the world waited. July 20th, 1969. It is said that 500 Million People gathered at tv sets around the world to wait for the first earthling to set foot on the moon. Countless millions more listened on the radio to the voices from the moon. Neil, this is houston, loud and clear. Never before had so many people been attuned to one event at one time. The world waited, curious, wondering, aware. Like a sleeper awakened in the night by a far away sound. A moment sensed more than understo understoo understood. Okay. Neil, we can see you coming down the ladder now. Okay. I just checked, getting back up to that first step, its not even collapsed too far, but its adequate to get back up. Roger, we copy. Its a pretty good little jump. Im at the foot of the ladder. The lemm foot beds are only depressed in the surface about one or two inches, although the surface appears to be very, very fine grained as you get close to it, its almost like a powder down there, its very fine. Im going to step off the lemm now. Thats one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. Thats one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. [ speaking Foreign Language ] he is on the moon. Astronaut Neil Armstrong Neil Armstrong [ speaking Foreign Language ] that looks beautiful. It has a stark beauty all its own. Its like much of the high desert of the United States, its different, but its very pretty out here. Are you getting a tv picture now, houston . Neil, yes, we are getting a tv picture. Youre in our field of view now. Okay. Ready for me to come out . All set. Okay. Im on the top step. Its a very simple matter to hop down from one step to the next. You have three more steps and then a long one. Okay. Im going to leave that one foot up there and both hands to about the fourth rung up. There you go. Okay. Now i think i will do the same. A little more. About another inch. There. You got it . Thats a good step. Beautiful view. Isnt that something . Magnificent desolation. Very, very fine powder, isnt it . Isnt it fine . Neil, didnt i say we might see some purple rocks. Find the purple rocks . We small sparkly fragments. Okay. Houston, im going to change lenses on you. Roger, neil. Youre going too fast on the panorama sweep. Youre going to have to stop. I havent stopped i havent set it down yet. Thats the first picture in the panorama. Okay. Im going to move it. Tell me if youve got a picture, houston. Weve got a beautiful picture, neil. Okay. Weve got that one. Okay. Theres another good one. For a final orientation wed like you to come left about 5 degrees. Over. Okay. Okay. That looks good there, neil. Buzz is erecting the solar wind experiment now. Every precious minute of their two and a half hours on the surface was programmed, rock and soil samples were to be collected, photographs taken, experiments set up to catch unfilters particles from the sun to the moon quakes to pressure the exact distance between moon and earth. Columbia, columbia, this is houston. Aos. Over. Houston, columbia, over. Roger, the eva is progressing beautifully. They are setting up the flag now. I guess you are about the only person around that doesnt have tv coverage of the scene. Thats right. I dont mind a bit. Theyve got the flag up now and you can see the stars and stripes on the lunar surface. Beautiful. Just beautiful. How is the quality of the tv . Oh, its beautiful, mike. It really is. Id like to evaluate the various paces that a person can travel on the lunar surface. You do have to be all right. You do have to be rather careful to keep track of where your center mass is. Sometimes it takes about two or three paces to make sure that youve got your feet underneath yo you. In about two or three or maybe four easy paces can bring you fairly smooth stop, like a football player, you just have to put your foot out to the side and cut a little bit. Socalled kangaroo hop does work but it seems that your forward ability is not quite as good. It could get rather tiring after several hundred feet, but this may be a function of this suit as well as lack of graffit Gravity Force here. I noticed in the soft spots where we had footprints nearly an inch deep that the soil is very cohesive and it will retain a slope of probably 70 degre degrees footprint. Buzz is making his way around the lemm, photographing it from various angles, looking at its condition on all sides. Right in this area there are two craters, the one thats right in front of me now as i look off in about the 11 00 position from the spacecraft, about 30 to 35 feet. Roger. Ou out. In the foreground buzz aldrin is collecting a core tube sample. I hope youre watching how hard i have to hit this into the ground to a tune of about 5 inches, houston. Roger. It almost looks wet. Buzz, this is houston. Youve got about ten minutes left now prior to commencing your eva termination activities. Over. I understand. Its marvelous. Its fantastic. First person on the moon. Its just too much. I cant get over it. I dont know how to put it, you know, but its the most marvelous thing. Its a miracle. We are really thrilled. For every american this has to be the proudest day of our lives and for people all over the world. I think its great. Really great for the whole world. This means a lot to all the countries, not just for america. And being out of it and being closer to the moon makes us realize that we are all human beings together. I hope this brings unity amongst all countries. And i just hope it will help you from solving all internal problems you may have. Well, i think its a waste of a lot of money that can be used for Something Else. They holler about people being on starvation. This huge amount of money americans spent to see what the moon is like, what for . Its disgusting. Its a pity they havent got Something Else to do. It would be better if they had done something for the elders. What if columbus decided he couldnt get the money from isabella, where would we be. Thats one of gods celestial planets, he put it up there for a reason. Myself im interested to see whats up there. We must open all secrets that are opening to us throughout the ages. I think that the dream of the man from the beginning of the human race is coming now. Alone, 45 miles above the moons surface, Michael Collins completed an orbit every two hours. He listened to the progress of the moon walk and awaited the moment when his companions on the surface would lift off to rendezvous with him. 30 times he saw the earth rise over the horizon of the moon, 12,000 miles of twilight, a line that divides night from day for 3 billion people on spaceship earth. It is good to see the whole earth, to see the earth whole. The eagle had left the moon and returned to columbia. Within this strange ship two astronauts and a treasure. Triple sealed vacuum boxes of rocks and soil from the surface of the moon. Locked within these rocks were secrets of the ages to be studied and deciphered by the scientists of earth. The age of the moon, the age of the sun. How the moon was formed. How life began. Was there ever life on the moon . Was the moon once molten and volcanic or has it always been cold and dead . Was it once part of the earth or was it a wandering planet captured by the earth eons ago . How hot was the sun 3 billion years ago . With their precious moon rocks had transferred to columbia, the faithful eagle with its task completed could be cut adrift. Columbia fired out of lunar orbit to begin its threeday fall back to earth where the recovery fleet was waiting for its splashdown in the pacific. Apollo 11, houston with a little Recovery Force information. Over. Go ahead. Roger. T the hornet is on station just far enough past the target point to keep from getting hit. July 24th the hornet was on station and the president of the United States was on board. Reentry into the earths invisible atmosphere carries with it one of the most critical moments. Traveling nearly 25,000 mile per hour the command module can miss the point of reentry and disintegrate into flames or bounce off into space never to return. Velocity 33,000 feet per second. 35,000 feet per second now. 36,000 feet per second. We are at entry time. Theres blackout. Apollo 11, houston, through arrive. Apollo, houston, through arrive.

Three men who had done what no man before had done. A technological feat that was believed beyond the realm of possibility. The fulfillment of an ageold dream. Were we celebrating simply because it had been a long time since we had anything to celebrate, or was this something that touched an irrational unthinking instinct in us all . Were going to the moon together pack your bags and jump into the car gonna take a trip to tell you where you are goodbye, mother so long, mother so long, mother good bye goodbye, mother, so long, mother, so long, mother earth goodbye, mother, goodbye, mother earth a treasure of the ages. Stones from across the night. Unrubbed by wind, unwashed by ra rain. Scattered on tranquility. Bombarded by solar particles for billions of years but unchanged in any other way, a moon rock is like the diary of the sun, an eye unblinking since time began. That stared across the sea of space, that watched the blue planet when life began. Remembered in these rocks are ancient sun spots, solar flares, solar storms whose fiery arms reached out a million miles. By making ourselves very small, like alice, perhaps we will see what these rocks have seen and remember back those billions of years to decipher the life of the sun. Locked within our sun are answers to mysteries that you have confounded man since time began. We have reached out with our telescopes, we have reached in with our microscopes, seeking. What is the source of life . What combination of energies and elements brought it into existence . What is the relationship between the nonliving and living things . How delicate is the balance . Man slowly begins to realize how fragile is his bubble of life. Ours is one sun in a sea of suns more plentiful than all the grains of sand on all the shores of all the seas of planet earth. Now that we are free to wander from earth, perhaps we will find answers to our questions. Someday we may know where we have come from, where were going. We may know where is the end, where is the beginning. We have walked on the moon. We open our minds to the universe. All week we feature American History programs of whats available.

In the late 1850s, americans generally trusted congressmen, but did not trust congress as an institution, nor did congressmen trust each other. By 1860, many congressmen were routinely armed, not because they were eager to kill their opponents, but out of fear their opponents might kill them.

Eastern on after words, the immoral majority. How evangelicals choose political power over christian values. I think the lesser evil argument is tempting the dangerous.
