1
00:00:01,266 --> 00:00:04,292
History tells us
that the year 1937...
2
00:00:04,436 --> 00:00:06,734
was not a good one
for the planet Earth.
3
00:00:06,939 --> 00:00:08,065
Japan invaded China.
4
00:00:08,207 --> 00:00:11,301
In Germany, concentration camps
were already operating.
5
00:00:11,443 --> 00:00:14,071
A bloody civil war
was escalating in Spain.
6
00:00:14,213 --> 00:00:16,909
In the United States,
President Roosevelt had cause to say...
7
00:00:17,049 --> 00:00:20,780
that one-third of his people were
ill-housed, ill-clad and ill-nourished.
8
00:00:21,553 --> 00:00:23,817
And yet, in 1937...
9
00:00:23,956 --> 00:00:26,550
Picasso painted
his masterpiece "Guernica"...
10
00:00:26,692 --> 00:00:28,887
John Steinbeck published
"Of Mice and Men"...
11
00:00:29,027 --> 00:00:31,689
and the Golden Gate Bridge
was opened.
12
00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:35,322
1937, then, was not
the cataclysmic year of the century.
13
00:00:35,467 --> 00:00:37,799
There would be others,
including one...
14
00:00:37,936 --> 00:00:40,370
when, in the midst
of worldwide unrest...
15
00:00:40,506 --> 00:00:42,872
Americans were hoping
to send three human beings...
16
00:00:43,008 --> 00:00:46,375
on the very first voyage
from the Earth to the moon.

Subtitles downloaded from www.OpenSubtitles.org
18
00:02:00,686 --> 00:02:03,746
232 G.I.s killed and 900 wounded...
19
00:02:03,889 --> 00:02:07,017
makes for one of the heaviest weeks
of the Vietnam War.
20
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:11,027
And it is not a week. It is
just over two days, the past two days.
21
00:02:11,196 --> 00:02:14,165
There are two forces that are
trying to push them out this way...
22
00:02:14,299 --> 00:02:16,767
but he's heavily fortified,
he's got a lot of ammo.
23
00:02:16,902 --> 00:02:18,767
Fires still coming from buildings--
24
00:02:21,139 --> 00:02:24,131
Here we are,
right in the center of Saigon.
25
00:02:24,276 --> 00:02:29,145
In fact, just opposite
the presidential palace.
26
00:02:29,281 --> 00:02:32,910
C.l.A. men and M.P.s
have gone into the embassy...
27
00:02:33,051 --> 00:02:36,214
and are trying
to get the snipers out.
28
00:02:41,026 --> 00:02:45,486
We've got two more forces that
are trying to push them out this way.
29
00:02:45,631 --> 00:02:48,930
But they got more arms,
grenade launcher, hand grenades.
30
00:02:49,067 --> 00:02:51,433
Have you lost any men here?
31
00:02:51,570 --> 00:02:54,630
I've got five, six--
six people I've got wounded.
32
00:02:59,945 --> 00:03:04,006
The enemy very deceitfully
has taken advantage...
33
00:03:04,149 --> 00:03:05,548
of the troops...
34
00:03:05,684 --> 00:03:08,551
in order to create maximum--
35
00:03:08,687 --> 00:03:11,713
I'd point out to you
the time has come...
36
00:03:11,857 --> 00:03:13,882
when we ought to unite...
37
00:03:14,026 --> 00:03:16,859
when we ought to stand up
and be counted...
38
00:03:16,995 --> 00:03:20,123
when we ought to support
our leaders, our government...
39
00:03:20,265 --> 00:03:23,564
our men and our allies
until aggression is stopped.
40
00:03:27,272 --> 00:03:30,207
542 U.S. troops were killed
in Vietnam last week...
41
00:03:30,342 --> 00:03:32,333
the second highest week--
42
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,917
All right. Let's go.
What assumptions are we making?
43
00:03:45,057 --> 00:03:46,922
That the cabin is pressurized.
44
00:03:47,059 --> 00:03:50,290
- This is an emergency evac on the pad?
- Yes, Mr. Borman.
45
00:03:50,429 --> 00:03:51,987
Walk me through it.
46
00:03:52,130 --> 00:03:55,190
Release the lock pins.
Unlatch the gear box.
47
00:03:55,334 --> 00:03:57,325
Set the actuator handle
to "unlock."
48
00:03:57,469 --> 00:03:59,664
Pump the actuator
five or six times.
49
00:03:59,805 --> 00:04:04,572
Stow the handle. Open the hatch.
The whole procedure takes 20 seconds.
50
00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:06,905
Twenty seconds?
51
00:04:07,045 --> 00:04:08,740
Close the hatch, please.
52
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,575
I need a chair.
53
00:04:12,284 --> 00:04:14,980
Let me see if I've got this.
54
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,987
It takes 20 seconds
to open this hatch.
55
00:04:18,123 --> 00:04:21,149
That's you standing upright
on the factory floor.
56
00:04:22,527 --> 00:04:26,258
This is me, strapped
to the side of the spacecraft.
57
00:04:26,398 --> 00:04:28,958
Everything's upside down
above me and behind me.
58
00:04:29,101 --> 00:04:32,127
Something goes wrong, I don't wanna
have to look at a checklist.
59
00:04:32,270 --> 00:04:34,534
I can't wait 20 seconds to evac.
60
00:04:34,673 --> 00:04:37,267
Something's gotta open that hatch
in a heartbeat.
61
00:04:37,409 --> 00:04:40,537
We could try
a gaseous nitrogen cartridge.
62
00:04:40,679 --> 00:04:42,772
That could blow
the hatch instantly.
63
00:04:44,449 --> 00:04:47,145
What are we waiting for?
Let's do it.
64
00:04:47,285 --> 00:04:50,254
I have not come
65
00:04:50,389 --> 00:04:53,756
Yet
66
00:04:55,627 --> 00:04:57,094
We simply cannot afford...
67
00:04:57,229 --> 00:05:00,221
to stop in the midst
of a shooting war...
68
00:05:00,365 --> 00:05:02,424
and take time out to debate...
69
00:05:02,567 --> 00:05:05,092
whether our past action
was sound or unsound.
70
00:05:05,237 --> 00:05:07,228
Ho Chi Minh!
71
00:05:07,372 --> 00:05:10,569
I want, more than any human being
in all the world...
72
00:05:12,811 --> 00:05:14,676
to see the killing stopped.
73
00:05:14,813 --> 00:05:17,475
To be killed and to kill...
74
00:05:17,616 --> 00:05:20,915
in fighting which is not
in the interest of the country...
75
00:05:21,053 --> 00:05:23,749
it represents
is the ultimate tragedy.
76
00:05:24,890 --> 00:05:27,859
Save our national honor.
77
00:05:27,993 --> 00:05:29,722
Stop the bombing...
78
00:05:29,861 --> 00:05:31,624
and stop the war.
79
00:05:35,133 --> 00:05:37,601
It is the biggest rocket
anyone has ever seen...
80
00:05:37,736 --> 00:05:42,139
a behemoth intended to transport men
beyond the influence of the Earth.
81
00:05:42,274 --> 00:05:45,402
Not 1968 but,
God willing, next year...
82
00:05:45,544 --> 00:05:48,911
a rocket just like the one
out on pad 39A...
83
00:05:49,081 --> 00:05:51,777
will be taking men to the moon.
84
00:05:51,917 --> 00:05:55,284
Today, of course,
it will be taking nobody anywhere.
85
00:05:56,922 --> 00:06:01,859
This unmanned test is simply to see
if the great machine works...
86
00:06:01,993 --> 00:06:03,654
if its engines ignite...
87
00:06:03,795 --> 00:06:07,891
if it goes where it's supposed to
when it is supposed to.
88
00:06:08,033 --> 00:06:11,332
As a veteran of every manned launch
of America's space program...
89
00:06:11,470 --> 00:06:14,405
I can tell you that the mood
here at the Cape...
90
00:06:14,539 --> 00:06:16,302
is a bit subdued.
91
00:06:16,441 --> 00:06:19,672
But the fireworks display
we are about to see...
92
00:06:19,811 --> 00:06:21,676
promises to be a good one.
93
00:06:26,918 --> 00:06:29,182
15, 14...
94
00:06:29,321 --> 00:06:30,618
13.
95
00:06:30,755 --> 00:06:32,313
Ready for ignition.
96
00:06:32,457 --> 00:06:35,620
11, 10, 9.
97
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,421
Ignition sequence.
98
00:06:37,562 --> 00:06:40,998
7, 6, 5...
99
00:06:41,133 --> 00:06:43,067
4, 3.
100
00:06:45,337 --> 00:06:46,964
1, liftoff.
101
00:06:51,643 --> 00:06:54,669
- Liftoff.
- I can feel the shock wave in my chest.
102
00:06:54,813 --> 00:06:56,474
The windows are rattling.
103
00:06:56,615 --> 00:06:59,243
Oh, my God!
Look at that thing!
104
00:06:59,384 --> 00:07:02,251
Look at that thing go!
105
00:07:03,522 --> 00:07:06,389
It was confirmed that
Martin Luther King has been shot...
106
00:07:06,525 --> 00:07:08,720
on the balcony
of a hotel in Memphis.
107
00:07:08,860 --> 00:07:11,226
It really doesn't matter
with me now...
108
00:07:11,363 --> 00:07:13,957
because I've been
to the mountaintop.
109
00:07:15,133 --> 00:07:16,657
I don't mind.
110
00:07:19,871 --> 00:07:24,706
Like anybody, I would like
to live a long life.
111
00:07:24,843 --> 00:07:28,609
Longevity has its place.
112
00:07:31,516 --> 00:07:35,043
But I'm not concerned
about that now.
113
00:07:35,187 --> 00:07:37,485
I just want to do God's will.
114
00:07:39,291 --> 00:07:42,351
And He has allowed me
to go up to the mountain.
115
00:07:42,494 --> 00:07:43,859
I've looked over--
116
00:07:43,995 --> 00:07:48,398
Scattered violence broke out
in some sections of the city...
117
00:07:48,533 --> 00:07:50,865
within two hours
of Dr. King's death.
118
00:07:51,002 --> 00:07:53,596
I may not get there with you...
119
00:07:53,738 --> 00:07:56,206
but I want you to know tonight...
120
00:07:56,341 --> 00:08:00,402
that we as a people
will get to the Promised Land.
121
00:08:02,180 --> 00:08:04,740
Martin Luther King...
122
00:08:04,883 --> 00:08:06,908
dedicated his life...
123
00:08:09,321 --> 00:08:12,085
to love and to justice...
124
00:08:12,224 --> 00:08:14,624
between fellow human beings.
125
00:08:14,793 --> 00:08:16,886
For those of you who are black...
126
00:08:17,028 --> 00:08:20,225
you can be filled with bitterness...
127
00:08:20,365 --> 00:08:21,957
and with hatred...
128
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:24,000
or we can make an effort...
129
00:08:24,135 --> 00:08:26,467
and replace that violence...
130
00:08:26,605 --> 00:08:28,470
with an effort to understand...
131
00:08:30,609 --> 00:08:33,237
compassion and love.
132
00:08:54,065 --> 00:08:55,930
Who do you think's gonna win?
133
00:08:57,168 --> 00:08:59,762
McCarthy.
He'll definitely take Chicago.
134
00:08:59,904 --> 00:09:03,670
What, are you crazy? The guy
hasn't won in two or three weeks.
135
00:09:03,808 --> 00:09:05,708
Who do you think's gonna win?
136
00:09:05,844 --> 00:09:08,472
Definitely Kennedy.
He's definitely taking the nomination.
137
00:09:08,613 --> 00:09:11,480
Are you kidding? Bobby Kennedy
lost the Oregon primary.
138
00:09:11,616 --> 00:09:14,346
- So?
- No Kennedy's lost anything before.
139
00:09:14,486 --> 00:09:17,944
If he lost last night in California,
then he can lose in Chicago too.
140
00:09:18,089 --> 00:09:21,058
- Can I have the paper?
- He was leading last night.
141
00:09:21,192 --> 00:09:24,525
There's no way the democrats
won't nominate a Kennedy.
142
00:09:24,663 --> 00:09:27,826
It's gonna be Kennedy and Nixon
all over again.
143
00:09:30,969 --> 00:09:32,834
How much did he win by?
144
00:09:34,272 --> 00:09:35,603
Mom.
145
00:09:40,011 --> 00:09:41,444
Oh, my Lord.
146
00:09:51,790 --> 00:09:52,984
Frank Borman.
147
00:09:53,124 --> 00:09:56,287
- Frank, did you hear the news?
- Susan?
148
00:09:56,428 --> 00:09:58,225
- They shot Kennedy.
- What?
149
00:09:58,363 --> 00:10:01,855
Bobby Kennedy was shot last night
at the Ambassador Hotel in L.A.
150
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,366
Oh, no. My God.
151
00:10:06,771 --> 00:10:09,638
- Who did it?
- I don't know. They arrested somebody.
152
00:10:09,774 --> 00:10:12,971
He had so many children.
What is going wrong this year?
153
00:10:13,111 --> 00:10:15,875
What is happening?
He should have never run for president.
154
00:10:16,014 --> 00:10:17,879
He should've known
somebody would do this.
155
00:10:18,016 --> 00:10:20,211
- He was aware of the risks.
- Someone should've stopped him.
156
00:10:20,352 --> 00:10:22,217
His wife, mother,
brother, somebody.
157
00:10:22,354 --> 00:10:25,255
I can't talk right now.
Let's talk again tonight.
158
00:10:25,390 --> 00:10:28,791
I'll call you as soon
as I get back to the hotel.
159
00:10:30,061 --> 00:10:31,585
- All right.
- Bye.
160
00:10:42,173 --> 00:10:45,631
May the angels
take you into paradise...
161
00:10:45,777 --> 00:10:50,043
and the martyrs come
to welcome you on your way....
162
00:10:50,181 --> 00:10:54,049
and lead you
into the holy city, Jerusalem.
163
00:10:57,589 --> 00:10:59,648
My brother need not be idealized...
164
00:11:00,792 --> 00:11:04,023
or enlarged in death
beyond what he was in life...
165
00:11:05,196 --> 00:11:08,222
but to be remembered simply
as a good and decent man...
166
00:11:09,434 --> 00:11:12,835
who saw wrong
and tried to right it...
167
00:11:13,004 --> 00:11:15,131
who saw suffering
and tried to heal it...
168
00:11:16,274 --> 00:11:18,538
saw war and tried to stop it.
169
00:11:20,645 --> 00:11:22,636
Those of us who loved him...
170
00:11:22,781 --> 00:11:25,147
and who take him
to his rest today...
171
00:11:26,284 --> 00:11:28,809
pray that what he was to us...
172
00:11:28,953 --> 00:11:31,012
what he wished for others...
173
00:11:31,156 --> 00:11:34,683
will someday come to pass
for all the world.
174
00:11:34,826 --> 00:11:37,420
As he said many times...
175
00:11:37,562 --> 00:11:40,156
in many parts of this nation...
176
00:11:40,298 --> 00:11:43,665
"some men see things as they are
and say, 'Why?'
177
00:11:44,803 --> 00:11:48,603
I dream things that never were
and say, 'Why not?"'
178
00:11:48,740 --> 00:11:51,607
For the third straight day,
American jets have attacked targets...
179
00:11:51,743 --> 00:11:54,268
near Hanoi and Haiphong
in North Vietnam.
180
00:11:54,412 --> 00:11:55,970
The U.S. is now dropping
a daily average...
181
00:11:57,449 --> 00:12:00,111
of 3,000 pounds of explosives on--
182
00:12:03,087 --> 00:12:05,647
This is what we think is their rocket.
183
00:12:05,790 --> 00:12:08,281
They began rolling it out
three days ago.
184
00:12:08,426 --> 00:12:09,757
It's probably on the pad.
185
00:12:09,894 --> 00:12:11,452
Completely new design.
186
00:12:11,596 --> 00:12:14,463
Not Vostok or Voskhod.
187
00:12:14,599 --> 00:12:16,794
The Russians have never built
a launch vehicle this large.
188
00:12:16,935 --> 00:12:20,564
It's four stages
in a clustered engine configuration.
189
00:12:20,705 --> 00:12:22,673
Multiple engines
and multiple stages.
190
00:12:22,807 --> 00:12:26,675
They'll have to test it,
which means they've built more than one.
191
00:12:28,279 --> 00:12:30,941
Any information how fast
they can get the next one up?
192
00:12:31,082 --> 00:12:34,051
If they're actually attempting
a flight to the moon...
193
00:12:34,185 --> 00:12:36,517
they'll have a window
in early October.
194
00:12:36,654 --> 00:12:38,622
Eight, maybe nine weeks?
195
00:12:38,756 --> 00:12:40,246
Exactly.
196
00:12:44,195 --> 00:12:46,060
MIT and Raytheon are still fighting...
197
00:12:46,197 --> 00:12:47,824
over the LEM computer system.
198
00:12:47,966 --> 00:12:50,901
It has over a hundred defects.
It's still too heavy.
199
00:12:51,035 --> 00:12:53,435
It won't be ready to fly
at least until early spring...
200
00:12:53,605 --> 00:12:55,334
and even that's a maybe.
201
00:12:55,473 --> 00:12:57,373
- So we don't take it.
- What?
202
00:12:58,676 --> 00:13:01,702
Leave the LEM here.
Fly to the moon without it.
203
00:13:01,846 --> 00:13:04,041
There's a launch window in December.
204
00:13:04,182 --> 00:13:07,049
Just bypass the whole emission
with the LEM in Earth orbit.
205
00:13:07,185 --> 00:13:10,211
Take only the command
and the service module to the moon...
206
00:13:10,355 --> 00:13:13,449
and back before the new year.
207
00:13:14,659 --> 00:13:18,857
In one Hail Mary pass, we'd accomplish
so many mission objectives that--
208
00:13:23,601 --> 00:13:26,729
Tom Paine's gonna think
we've lost our minds.
209
00:13:26,871 --> 00:13:29,635
I see the logic of it. If the Soviets
fly around the moon first...
210
00:13:29,774 --> 00:13:31,503
they've done it; we lose.
211
00:13:32,777 --> 00:13:34,369
Still, no easy task.
212
00:13:35,847 --> 00:13:38,111
This is the proposition.
213
00:13:38,249 --> 00:13:40,444
Swap missions with Jim McDivitt.
214
00:13:40,585 --> 00:13:44,715
He, Rusty and Dave test-fly the LEM
in Earth orbit when it's ready...
215
00:13:44,856 --> 00:13:49,816
and your crew takes spacecraft 103
into lunar orbit in December.
216
00:13:51,029 --> 00:13:53,896
That sound like something
you'd be willing to do?
217
00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:57,600
Absolutely.
218
00:13:57,769 --> 00:14:00,897
It's important for the program,
and it's important for the country.
219
00:14:02,206 --> 00:14:06,336
I wouldn't take this mission if I didn't
have every confidence in its success.
220
00:14:06,477 --> 00:14:09,002
You'll be flying
around the moon at Christmas?
221
00:14:09,147 --> 00:14:10,546
That sounds cool.
222
00:14:10,682 --> 00:14:12,582
Yeah. Can I go with you?
223
00:14:12,717 --> 00:14:14,582
Maybe next time.
224
00:14:18,656 --> 00:14:21,819
Now give me a moment alone
with your mother.
225
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,655
Yes, sir.
226
00:14:34,072 --> 00:14:36,233
There you have it.
All right?
227
00:14:36,374 --> 00:14:39,275
Frank, of course.
This is your career.
228
00:14:39,410 --> 00:14:40,934
It's your decision.
229
00:14:41,079 --> 00:14:44,810
It's always been that way,
so all right.
230
00:14:46,250 --> 00:14:49,276
I'd turn down the flight
if I didn't have every confidence.
231
00:14:49,420 --> 00:14:52,116
Every confidence in the spacecraft,
the flight plan, the training.
232
00:14:52,256 --> 00:14:55,123
You're a pilot. You'd never
turn down a mission like this.
233
00:14:55,259 --> 00:14:57,250
You always have every confidence.
234
00:15:01,432 --> 00:15:04,299
I just want you to come home.
235
00:15:06,971 --> 00:15:08,632
You know our deal.
236
00:15:09,974 --> 00:15:12,670
You worry about the custard.
I'll worry about the flying.
237
00:15:15,947 --> 00:15:17,642
Let's not go off half-cocked on this.
238
00:15:17,782 --> 00:15:19,477
Once more around the table.
239
00:15:19,617 --> 00:15:21,983
Not long ago, you all were debating
if it was safe...
240
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,714
to put men on top of the Saturn 5.
241
00:15:24,856 --> 00:15:29,156
Pardon my playing devil's advocate,
but what changed everybody's minds?
242
00:15:29,293 --> 00:15:32,660
Why the sudden faith that Apollo 8
will fly to the moon...
243
00:15:32,797 --> 00:15:34,856
in less than five months from now?
244
00:15:34,999 --> 00:15:36,398
Wernher?
245
00:15:36,534 --> 00:15:39,560
The next booster will show
the results of all the tests.
246
00:15:39,704 --> 00:15:43,003
Once we decide to man it,
it does not matter how far it goes.
247
00:15:43,141 --> 00:15:44,665
It will get there.
248
00:15:44,809 --> 00:15:47,676
Where? We have no plans,
no priorities, no mission rules.
249
00:15:47,812 --> 00:15:50,838
There's no software yet.
We can't even simulate it.
250
00:15:50,982 --> 00:15:54,577
That may be true, but when it comes
to the rocket, I have no reservations.
251
00:15:54,719 --> 00:15:56,243
No reservations here, either.
252
00:15:56,387 --> 00:15:58,753
It'll be tight, but we'll be
ready to launch in December.
253
00:15:58,890 --> 00:16:01,484
This is assuming Apollo 7
is a success.
254
00:16:01,626 --> 00:16:03,992
If we're going to send a crew
to the moon without the LEM...
255
00:16:04,128 --> 00:16:05,993
it means we have only one engine.
256
00:16:06,130 --> 00:16:09,759
If the SPS goes bust,
there's no way home.
257
00:16:09,901 --> 00:16:12,495
Come on, Chris.
That's a worst-case scenario.
258
00:16:12,637 --> 00:16:15,435
We can make sure the flight plan
has several decision points...
259
00:16:15,573 --> 00:16:17,336
go or no-go's
that will minimize the risks.
260
00:16:17,475 --> 00:16:21,809
It may sound strange, but this is
the least risky of any Apollo flight.
261
00:16:21,946 --> 00:16:23,345
The least risky?
262
00:16:23,481 --> 00:16:26,041
We're talking about putting
three astronauts in one spacecraft...
263
00:16:26,184 --> 00:16:28,379
with only the SPS
to get them back home.
264
00:16:28,519 --> 00:16:30,544
That's the risk
with any lunar mission.
265
00:16:30,688 --> 00:16:32,553
If we're gonna land
on the moon next year...
266
00:16:32,690 --> 00:16:34,715
we have to know
if we can get there now.
267
00:16:34,859 --> 00:16:38,693
I appreciate your concerns, but
I'd like this to be unanimous, Chris.
268
00:16:43,835 --> 00:16:45,894
Okay, let's go.
Let's do it.
269
00:16:46,037 --> 00:16:48,232
If we're gonna send these boys
to the moon...
270
00:16:48,372 --> 00:16:51,068
let's not just make a circumlunar
flight to beat the Soviets.
271
00:16:51,209 --> 00:16:54,178
We have to stay in lunar orbit
for a while.
272
00:16:54,312 --> 00:16:56,837
There's a lot to be done if we're going
to make a landing next year.
273
00:16:59,050 --> 00:17:03,384
Jesus, if word gets out we're planning
to go to the moon for Christmas...
274
00:17:03,521 --> 00:17:05,045
people are gonna go nuts.
275
00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:07,680
Up against the wall, motherfucker!
276
00:17:09,327 --> 00:17:11,022
I been run down
277
00:17:11,162 --> 00:17:13,392
I've been lied to
278
00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:18,261
I don't know why
279
00:17:18,402 --> 00:17:21,633
I let that mean woman
make me a fool
280
00:17:23,541 --> 00:17:25,736
Took all my money
281
00:17:27,245 --> 00:17:29,372
Wrecked my new car
282
00:17:30,882 --> 00:17:33,214
Now she's with one of my
283
00:17:33,351 --> 00:17:34,545
Good-time buddies
284
00:17:34,685 --> 00:17:37,051
They're drinking in some crosstown bar
285
00:17:37,188 --> 00:17:40,089
Sometimes I feel
286
00:17:45,596 --> 00:17:48,121
Like I've been tied
287
00:17:48,266 --> 00:17:50,666
To the whipping post
288
00:17:58,976 --> 00:18:00,637
Oh, Lord, I feel
289
00:18:00,778 --> 00:18:04,805
Like I'm dying
290
00:18:11,122 --> 00:18:13,989
Good evening.
This is The World.
291
00:18:14,125 --> 00:18:15,888
The Soviet news agency TASS...
292
00:18:16,027 --> 00:18:18,325
announced the recovery
of the Zond 5...
293
00:18:18,462 --> 00:18:21,260
an unmanned spacecraft
that landed in the Indian Ocean...
294
00:18:21,399 --> 00:18:23,731
three days after
circumnavigating the moon.
295
00:18:23,868 --> 00:18:26,735
The first to send an unmanned spacecraft
around the moon...
296
00:18:26,871 --> 00:18:28,668
and return it safely to Earth.
297
00:18:28,806 --> 00:18:31,673
The recent success
of Apollo 7's shakedown flight...
298
00:18:31,809 --> 00:18:33,572
has turned this command module...
299
00:18:33,711 --> 00:18:36,305
from a space capsule
into a moon ship.
300
00:18:36,447 --> 00:18:40,747
Russians do feel that Zond 5 prepared
them for a manned orbit of the moon.
301
00:18:40,885 --> 00:18:42,716
They could go as early as--
302
00:18:42,854 --> 00:18:46,381
...Russian technology is the dress
rehearsal for a team of cosmonauts--
303
00:18:46,524 --> 00:18:50,517
Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and William
Anders are on the verge of making--
304
00:18:50,661 --> 00:18:53,186
...an historic flight in late December.
305
00:18:53,331 --> 00:18:55,196
This is a NASA bombshell...
306
00:18:55,333 --> 00:18:58,530
an electrifying announcement
that, while only made today...
307
00:18:58,669 --> 00:19:02,230
has obviously been in the planning
stages for quite some time.
308
00:19:02,373 --> 00:19:06,503
The American spacecraft will not merely
go around the moon and return...
309
00:19:06,644 --> 00:19:08,942
but rather, using
a series of maneuvers...
310
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,210
the crew will park themselves
in lunar orbit for a day.
311
00:19:13,351 --> 00:19:15,751
Ten orbits around the moon...
312
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,514
enough time to map out
possible landing sites...
313
00:19:18,656 --> 00:19:21,784
and approach vectors
for future Apollo missions...
314
00:19:21,926 --> 00:19:26,420
before firing their single
massive engine to return home.
315
00:19:26,564 --> 00:19:27,929
Apollo 8--
316
00:19:28,065 --> 00:19:30,295
Apollo 8-- three men in one craft...
317
00:19:30,434 --> 00:19:32,629
traveling over
half a million miles.
318
00:19:32,770 --> 00:19:34,397
The challenge is daunting.
319
00:19:34,538 --> 00:19:36,028
God willing, an achievement...
320
00:19:36,173 --> 00:19:39,438
that will equal those of Columbus,
Magellan, Lindbergh and--
321
00:19:43,614 --> 00:19:45,707
This will be an open administration.
322
00:19:45,850 --> 00:19:47,977
Open to new ideas...
323
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,747
open to men and women
of both parties...
324
00:19:50,888 --> 00:19:53,652
open to the critics
as well as those who support us.
325
00:19:53,791 --> 00:19:55,418
We want to bridge the generation gap.
326
00:19:55,559 --> 00:19:58,790
We want to bridge the gap
between the races.
327
00:19:58,930 --> 00:20:01,455
We want to bring America
together and...
328
00:20:01,599 --> 00:20:04,227
I am confident that this task...
329
00:20:04,368 --> 00:20:06,233
is one that we can undertake...
330
00:20:06,370 --> 00:20:08,429
and one in which
we will be successful.
331
00:20:48,412 --> 00:20:50,937
CDR, STC. We're good down here.
332
00:20:51,082 --> 00:20:53,073
You guys all set?
333
00:20:53,217 --> 00:20:54,548
Go.
334
00:21:00,224 --> 00:21:01,623
Mrs. Borman?
335
00:21:07,999 --> 00:21:09,728
I'll be right there.
336
00:21:18,442 --> 00:21:21,570
- And here I am.
- Great. The camera crew is all set.
337
00:21:21,712 --> 00:21:24,579
They promised not to turn this thing
into an interview.
338
00:21:24,715 --> 00:21:27,240
- Believe me, they won't.
- They just want to film your reaction.
339
00:21:27,385 --> 00:21:30,513
- If they start asking questions--
- I have discussed this with Frank.
340
00:21:30,654 --> 00:21:32,349
I know what to do.
341
00:21:32,490 --> 00:21:34,014
Yes, ma'am.
342
00:21:43,901 --> 00:21:45,698
Thirty-five seconds and counting.
343
00:21:45,836 --> 00:21:49,602
We'll lead up to a mission
sequence start at 3.9 seconds.
344
00:21:49,740 --> 00:21:51,605
Would anybody like some more coffee?
345
00:21:53,177 --> 00:21:54,906
...if all goes well at 0.
346
00:21:55,046 --> 00:21:58,538
We've just passed
the 25-second mark on the count.
347
00:21:58,682 --> 00:22:00,741
Twenty seconds. All aspects.
We are still go...
348
00:22:00,885 --> 00:22:02,512
at this time.
349
00:22:03,654 --> 00:22:06,555
T minus 15, 14, 13...
350
00:22:06,690 --> 00:22:08,555
12, 11...
351
00:22:08,692 --> 00:22:10,717
10, 9.
352
00:22:10,861 --> 00:22:14,888
We have ignition sequence armed.
The engines are armed.
353
00:22:15,032 --> 00:22:18,559
4, 3, 2, 1.
354
00:22:23,274 --> 00:22:26,766
I want, more than any human being
in all the world...
355
00:22:28,879 --> 00:22:31,040
to see the killing stopped.
356
00:22:31,182 --> 00:22:33,241
They must move on...
357
00:22:34,218 --> 00:22:35,776
or be destroyed--
358
00:22:36,921 --> 00:22:40,084
Two Americans were killed in action.
359
00:22:40,224 --> 00:22:41,987
When I become the president...
360
00:22:42,126 --> 00:22:45,493
I'll give you a passport to Hanoi--
361
00:22:47,998 --> 00:22:50,762
I am announcing today
my candidacy--
362
00:22:50,901 --> 00:22:52,801
...take him to his rest today.
363
00:22:52,937 --> 00:22:56,703
Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the coming of the Lord!
364
00:22:59,710 --> 00:23:01,541
Looking good at two minutes.
365
00:23:01,679 --> 00:23:04,614
All engines running
at 10 miles altitude...
366
00:23:04,782 --> 00:23:07,012
60 miles downrange.
367
00:23:07,151 --> 00:23:08,880
Roger, Houston.
368
00:23:31,442 --> 00:23:33,774
S-2 ignition, Houston.
369
00:23:33,911 --> 00:23:35,469
Roger that, 8.
370
00:23:35,613 --> 00:23:38,639
Trajectory and guidance
is looking good at...
371
00:23:38,782 --> 00:23:40,147
three minutes.
372
00:23:40,284 --> 00:23:42,309
Thank you, Houston.
Apollo 8 is go.
373
00:23:43,654 --> 00:23:46,452
First stage was very smooth.
This one's smoother.
374
00:23:46,590 --> 00:23:48,820
Understand.
Smooth and smoother.
375
00:23:48,959 --> 00:23:50,756
Looks good here, guys.
376
00:23:50,895 --> 00:23:53,386
"Smooth and smoother"?
Who are you kiddin'?
377
00:23:53,531 --> 00:23:56,864
I feel like we'd been
in a train wreck.
378
00:23:57,001 --> 00:23:58,730
Kick in the pants, huh?
379
00:24:05,543 --> 00:24:09,138
Predicted cutoff is 11 plus 28. Over.
380
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,113
Understand. Eleven plus 28.
381
00:24:23,227 --> 00:24:25,821
Secondary glycol pump, off.
382
00:24:25,963 --> 00:24:27,897
Cabin air pressure return valve, on.
383
00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:31,024
Cabin pressure, Bill?
384
00:24:40,010 --> 00:24:42,240
I don't want you looking
out the window. We got work.
385
00:24:42,379 --> 00:24:44,939
- Proceed to the check list.
- Right.
386
00:24:45,082 --> 00:24:47,346
Cabin pressure is 5.2 p.s.i.
387
00:24:50,554 --> 00:24:54,081
Aw, shoot!
I must've caught it on the couch.
388
00:24:54,225 --> 00:24:55,658
You won't drown now.
389
00:24:55,826 --> 00:24:59,887
You can't deflate that in the cabin.
It'll use up our air scrubbers.
390
00:25:00,030 --> 00:25:04,330
Well, maybe I can rig it up
to the urine dump.
391
00:25:04,468 --> 00:25:05,867
Yeah, do that.
392
00:25:07,071 --> 00:25:08,732
Navy man.
393
00:25:18,716 --> 00:25:20,877
- FIDO, Flight.
- Go, Flight.
394
00:25:21,018 --> 00:25:22,883
Are you happy with the maneuver?
395
00:25:23,020 --> 00:25:25,386
Yes. We're getting
just what we wanted to see.
396
00:25:25,522 --> 00:25:27,888
All flight controllers,
I want go, no-go...
397
00:25:28,025 --> 00:25:29,925
for a translunar injection burn.
398
00:25:30,060 --> 00:25:31,652
- RETRO.
- Go flight.
399
00:25:31,795 --> 00:25:33,285
- Control.
- Go.
400
00:25:33,430 --> 00:25:35,057
- Guidance. INCO.
- Go.
401
00:25:35,199 --> 00:25:36,666
EECOM.
402
00:25:36,834 --> 00:25:38,529
GNC.
403
00:25:38,669 --> 00:25:41,035
FAO. Network.
404
00:25:41,171 --> 00:25:42,536
Surgeon.
405
00:25:42,673 --> 00:25:45,267
CAPCOM. We are go
for translunar injection.
406
00:25:48,545 --> 00:25:52,174
Apollo 8, Houston.
You are go for TLI.
407
00:25:54,084 --> 00:25:56,279
You are go for the moon.
408
00:25:56,420 --> 00:25:59,253
Roger, Houston.
Apollo 8 is go.
409
00:26:45,235 --> 00:26:49,729
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
410
00:26:52,643 --> 00:26:56,340
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
411
00:26:59,216 --> 00:27:01,810
Yuletide carols
412
00:27:01,952 --> 00:27:04,147
Being sung by a choir
413
00:27:04,288 --> 00:27:06,017
Jim, what are you doing?
414
00:27:07,725 --> 00:27:11,024
Trying to figure out
where we are, Frank.
415
00:27:11,161 --> 00:27:14,358
Antares, I have you
right where I want you.
416
00:27:14,498 --> 00:27:16,989
A turkey and some mistletoe
417
00:27:18,802 --> 00:27:21,999
Are we clear of that debris
from the S-4B?
418
00:27:22,139 --> 00:27:25,199
Yeah. I just
gotta identify Sirius...
419
00:27:25,342 --> 00:27:27,742
and get our optical calibration.
420
00:27:27,878 --> 00:27:31,712
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
421
00:27:33,083 --> 00:27:36,450
Will find it hard to sleep
422
00:27:36,620 --> 00:27:38,281
Tonight
423
00:27:39,289 --> 00:27:40,881
How's it goin'?
424
00:27:41,024 --> 00:27:42,821
Well, Buzz has my eye patch.
425
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,860
Santa's on his way
426
00:27:48,298 --> 00:27:50,266
Let's see. What's my score?
427
00:27:52,536 --> 00:27:55,369
What do you know, sports fans?
Five balls.
428
00:27:55,506 --> 00:27:56,905
Nice work, Jim.
429
00:27:57,074 --> 00:27:58,939
Thanks, Mike.
I do my best.
430
00:27:59,076 --> 00:28:01,943
I have just been informed
that your accuracy at navigation...
431
00:28:02,079 --> 00:28:04,240
has reached the theoretical limits
of the system.
432
00:28:04,381 --> 00:28:06,144
Well, that's very flattering.
433
00:28:06,283 --> 00:28:09,411
Best guess is
you must be cheating somehow.
434
00:28:09,553 --> 00:28:11,384
Mike, you caught me.
435
00:28:11,522 --> 00:28:14,389
I came up here by myself
last week to practice.
436
00:28:14,525 --> 00:28:17,585
We knew there had to be
an explanation.
437
00:28:20,030 --> 00:28:22,931
I nailed it.
That new system is--
438
00:28:30,541 --> 00:28:32,065
Oh, man.
439
00:28:35,746 --> 00:28:37,338
Here you go.
440
00:28:44,621 --> 00:28:47,488
Those are supposed to be
for emergencies.
441
00:28:53,130 --> 00:28:54,563
Never mind.
442
00:28:54,731 --> 00:28:58,098
Apollo 8, this is Houston.
Do you copy?
443
00:28:59,236 --> 00:29:04,105
We had a little food spill. We're
gonna need a few minutes to clean up.
444
00:29:04,241 --> 00:29:05,868
Roger that, Apollo 8.
445
00:29:15,886 --> 00:29:18,548
- Do you want me to tell them?
- No.
446
00:29:18,689 --> 00:29:20,486
I think we have to.
447
00:29:20,624 --> 00:29:24,754
I don't want the whole world to know
I've got the damn 24-hour flu.
448
00:29:27,030 --> 00:29:30,295
We could put a message
in the tape dump.
449
00:29:30,434 --> 00:29:33,733
It might take them a little longer
to listen to it, but...
450
00:29:33,871 --> 00:29:36,169
it'd be more private.
451
00:29:37,441 --> 00:29:38,965
Good idea, Bill.
452
00:29:41,645 --> 00:29:44,341
Number one window is clean
but has some lint on it.
453
00:29:44,481 --> 00:29:47,678
This is no time to be listening
to a "how to speak French" tape.
454
00:29:47,818 --> 00:29:49,945
I wish.
It's the tape dump.
455
00:29:52,556 --> 00:29:54,148
One other thing.
456
00:29:54,291 --> 00:29:56,020
Frank's had some vomiting.
457
00:29:57,227 --> 00:30:01,095
He's resting now, but he had
some queasiness about 30 minutes ago.
458
00:30:03,267 --> 00:30:04,825
Flight, EECOM.
459
00:30:04,968 --> 00:30:07,129
- Go, EECOM.
- We've got a--
460
00:30:10,841 --> 00:30:12,536
It can't be the flu.
461
00:30:12,676 --> 00:30:15,201
The crew was inoculated
against it before launch.
462
00:30:15,345 --> 00:30:17,575
We don't want a sick crew
going into lunar orbit.
463
00:30:17,714 --> 00:30:20,080
Borman took one second off
for his last sleep period.
464
00:30:20,217 --> 00:30:21,650
Maybe it's a reaction to that.
465
00:30:21,818 --> 00:30:24,685
- What'd he eat last?
- His last meal was day two, meal C.
466
00:30:24,821 --> 00:30:28,154
Beef stew with peas and gravy,
corn niblets, whole wheat bread, tea...
467
00:30:28,292 --> 00:30:29,691
chocolate pudding.
468
00:30:29,826 --> 00:30:32,727
If we have contaminated food,
we have a very serious problem.
469
00:30:32,863 --> 00:30:35,730
We aren't going to abort the mission
because of some bad pudding.
470
00:30:35,866 --> 00:30:39,199
- Let's see if he gets better.
- It's not the vomiting that worries me.
471
00:30:39,336 --> 00:30:42,965
If Borman has diarrhea, that could
very quickly lead to dehydration.
472
00:30:43,106 --> 00:30:46,007
Frank'll kill us
if we bring him back now.
473
00:30:46,143 --> 00:30:49,772
We can make a decision
well before lunar orbit insertion.
474
00:30:49,913 --> 00:30:52,780
If he's still upchucking then,
we'll know what to do.
475
00:30:52,916 --> 00:30:55,908
Quarter million miles into outer space,
diarrhea's nothing to sneeze at.
476
00:30:57,054 --> 00:30:58,453
I know.
477
00:31:01,158 --> 00:31:03,524
Man, it's gotta smell bad up there.
478
00:31:04,895 --> 00:31:08,126
Cream-colored ponies
and crisp apple strudels
479
00:31:10,634 --> 00:31:15,230
Doorbells and sleigh bells
and schnitzel with noodles
480
00:31:15,372 --> 00:31:20,173
Wild geese that fly
with the moon on their wings
481
00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:24,644
These are a few
of my favorite things
482
00:31:24,781 --> 00:31:27,682
I just want to tell you all
that the commander...
483
00:31:27,851 --> 00:31:29,478
feels just fine.
484
00:31:29,620 --> 00:31:32,714
Very good, Apollo 8.
We are happy to hear that.
485
00:31:32,856 --> 00:31:34,483
I feel great.
486
00:31:34,625 --> 00:31:36,684
Bill Anders is
our cameraman today.
487
00:31:40,330 --> 00:31:43,959
Before he tapes all of our filters...
488
00:31:44,101 --> 00:31:47,002
over the lens
where I look back at you all...
489
00:31:47,170 --> 00:31:50,765
Command Module Pilot Jim Lovell
has a message for a special someone.
490
00:31:52,409 --> 00:31:54,172
Happy birthday, Mother.
491
00:31:54,311 --> 00:31:56,973
Cut to Borman.
Show Dad again.
492
00:31:57,114 --> 00:31:59,981
Only if he takes off
that Snoopy cap.
493
00:32:01,451 --> 00:32:03,749
Boys.
494
00:32:03,887 --> 00:32:06,481
And the Earth is now...
495
00:32:06,623 --> 00:32:08,420
passing through my window.
496
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,887
It's about the size
of the end of my thumb.
497
00:32:12,029 --> 00:32:13,428
Oh, my God.
498
00:32:16,867 --> 00:32:18,994
The water's sort of a royal blue.
499
00:32:19,136 --> 00:32:20,501
Dad's far away.
500
00:32:20,637 --> 00:32:23,162
The clouds, of course,
are bright white.
501
00:32:23,306 --> 00:32:25,706
- Are they gonna show the moon?
- No.
502
00:32:25,842 --> 00:32:28,436
Dad can't see it yet. Something
about the angle of their flight path.
503
00:32:28,578 --> 00:32:31,445
They'll have to show it tomorrow night
when they're in orbit.
504
00:32:31,581 --> 00:32:34,209
If I was a lonely traveler
from some other planet...
505
00:32:34,351 --> 00:32:37,218
what would I think about the Earth
from this altitude...
506
00:32:37,354 --> 00:32:40,152
whether or not
I think it was inhabited?
507
00:32:40,290 --> 00:32:41,882
I know we're here.
508
00:32:42,025 --> 00:32:45,517
What I'm curious about
is whether I'd land on the blue...
509
00:32:45,662 --> 00:32:47,994
or the brown part of the Earth.
510
00:32:48,131 --> 00:32:50,531
I hope we land on the blue part.
511
00:33:02,779 --> 00:33:04,371
Houston, Apollo 8.
512
00:33:04,514 --> 00:33:06,379
We've got a little time here.
513
00:33:06,516 --> 00:33:09,280
I'd like to jump ahead in
our flight plan and get us oriented...
514
00:33:09,419 --> 00:33:11,046
for lunar orbit insertion.
515
00:33:11,188 --> 00:33:12,883
Roger that, Apollo 8.
516
00:33:13,023 --> 00:33:17,050
Frank, before you get started,
I have a message here from Susan.
517
00:33:17,194 --> 00:33:20,994
She says, "The custard
is in the oven at 350." Over.
518
00:33:22,599 --> 00:33:24,794
No comprende, Houston. Over.
519
00:33:24,935 --> 00:33:27,802
Your wife says,
"The custard is in the oven."
520
00:33:31,875 --> 00:33:33,365
Roger that.
521
00:33:33,543 --> 00:33:35,443
Thank you for the message, Michael.
522
00:33:37,514 --> 00:33:39,175
Frank is doing just fine.
523
00:33:39,316 --> 00:33:42,683
I've seen a lot of women
lose their husbands and become widows.
524
00:33:42,853 --> 00:33:46,345
And you know what?
I think I may be next.
525
00:33:46,490 --> 00:33:50,654
- I have a feeling this is my turn.
- We all share similar feelings.
526
00:33:50,794 --> 00:33:52,523
I won't lie to you.
527
00:33:52,662 --> 00:33:55,597
Anytime we send human beings into space,
the bottom line is it's a risk.
528
00:33:56,900 --> 00:33:59,596
Well, I appreciate
your honesty, Chris...
529
00:33:59,736 --> 00:34:02,398
but I know what
a free return trajectory is.
530
00:34:02,539 --> 00:34:05,599
Just slingshot them around the moon.
Don't stop them in orbit.
531
00:34:05,742 --> 00:34:08,734
It'd be a waste to go all the way
to the moon and not go into orbit.
532
00:34:08,879 --> 00:34:10,904
That's the mission
Frank signed up for.
533
00:34:11,047 --> 00:34:13,914
Frank is a pilot.
He'd take any mission he's given.
534
00:34:15,085 --> 00:34:19,351
If you're worried about the spacecraft,
I'll tell you it is working perfectly.
535
00:34:19,489 --> 00:34:22,083
- So far.
- We're not staying in orbit...
536
00:34:22,225 --> 00:34:24,250
any longer than we have to--
ten orbits, less than a day.
537
00:34:24,394 --> 00:34:27,261
Then the moment comes
when the engine has to fire.
538
00:34:27,397 --> 00:34:30,093
You say everything is working fine,
but what happens if it doesn't?
539
00:34:30,233 --> 00:34:33,760
We've already done a course correction
with the engine. It's working perfectly.
540
00:34:33,904 --> 00:34:36,338
Do you realize what will happen
if you put those men into lunar orbit...
541
00:34:36,506 --> 00:34:37,939
and you can't get them out?
542
00:34:38,942 --> 00:34:40,876
Have you thought about that?
543
00:34:41,044 --> 00:34:42,807
You'll ruin the moon forever.
544
00:34:42,946 --> 00:34:47,246
No one will look at it again without
thinking of those dead astronauts.
545
00:34:47,384 --> 00:34:50,911
Valves open inside the service module.
That's all that has to happen.
546
00:34:51,054 --> 00:34:54,046
The engine doesn't have to spark
or ignite or light up.
547
00:34:54,191 --> 00:34:57,718
It's hypergolic. The hydrazine
mixes with the nitrogen tetroxide...
548
00:34:57,861 --> 00:34:59,726
and it can't keep from burning.
549
00:34:59,863 --> 00:35:01,922
We open the valves,
and Frank comes home.
550
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,090
If you're wrong...
551
00:35:06,303 --> 00:35:09,602
I won't even have
his body to bury.
552
00:35:14,411 --> 00:35:15,708
Apollo 8, this is Houston.
553
00:35:16,713 --> 00:35:19,580
Stand by for go
on lunar orbit insertion.
554
00:35:19,716 --> 00:35:24,210
A loss of signal
is expected in 37 seconds.
555
00:35:24,354 --> 00:35:27,653
Roger, Houston.
We're standing by for that go.
556
00:37:03,420 --> 00:37:05,581
"To whom it may concern.
557
00:37:05,722 --> 00:37:08,623
In the event that Apollo 8
does not return from the moon...
558
00:37:08,758 --> 00:37:10,623
I have prepared
the following statement...
559
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,853
to accompany the official
NASA press release:
560
00:37:14,264 --> 00:37:17,631
Frank Borman was everything
a man was supposed to be.
561
00:37:17,767 --> 00:37:19,667
He was a caring husband...
562
00:37:19,836 --> 00:37:21,599
a loving father...
563
00:37:21,738 --> 00:37:23,296
a career pilot...
564
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,135
and a dedicated astronaut.
565
00:37:26,409 --> 00:37:29,139
He did not fly
for the glory or thrill.
566
00:37:29,279 --> 00:37:33,238
He flew for the achievement found
in a job well-done...
567
00:37:33,416 --> 00:37:35,976
and because his country needed him.
568
00:37:36,119 --> 00:37:38,986
That the moon has taken his life
and the lives of his friends...
569
00:37:39,122 --> 00:37:41,317
Jim Lovell and Bill Anders
saddens us...
570
00:37:41,458 --> 00:37:44,154
and makes this world
a lesser place.
571
00:37:44,294 --> 00:37:47,991
It is better that he is gone now
for he could not have lived with...
572
00:37:48,131 --> 00:37:51,999
the knowledge that the mission that was
his command had failed so tragically."
573
00:39:18,154 --> 00:39:20,418
Oh, my God.
574
00:39:37,373 --> 00:39:38,897
Wow, that's pretty.
575
00:39:50,753 --> 00:39:54,553
Are you getting any of this?
Hurry up. Get a picture of it.
576
00:39:54,691 --> 00:39:56,659
Hey, that picture's not scheduled.
577
00:39:59,629 --> 00:40:01,893
Have you got it?
578
00:40:02,031 --> 00:40:05,899
Take several of them now.
Where's that other camera?
579
00:40:06,069 --> 00:40:07,764
Calm down, Lovell.
580
00:40:07,904 --> 00:40:10,737
Get the film.
Take your time.
581
00:40:10,874 --> 00:40:12,899
Let me take one.
582
00:40:22,919 --> 00:40:25,820
Oh, darn. I'm out of film.
583
00:40:29,425 --> 00:40:30,790
You got it?
584
00:40:32,028 --> 00:40:33,552
It'll come up again.
585
00:40:35,965 --> 00:40:39,457
All right, Anders.
Let's get some film in these cameras.
586
00:40:42,872 --> 00:40:45,306
Apollo 8, Houston.
Do you copy?
587
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,513
8, this is Houston.
Do you copy?
588
00:40:57,387 --> 00:40:59,355
Houston, this is Apollo 8.
589
00:40:59,522 --> 00:41:01,353
We are now in lunar orbit.
590
00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:33,213
What does the old moon look like
from 60 miles?
591
00:41:34,891 --> 00:41:36,654
The moon is essentially gray...
592
00:41:36,793 --> 00:41:38,158
no color.
593
00:41:38,294 --> 00:41:41,354
Looks like plaster of paris.
594
00:41:41,497 --> 00:41:42,896
Or a beach.
595
00:41:43,032 --> 00:41:45,933
A sort of grayish beach sand.
596
00:41:47,103 --> 00:41:49,936
We're seeing
a lot of detail right now.
597
00:41:51,808 --> 00:41:55,107
I think the moon is a different thing
to each one of us.
598
00:41:55,245 --> 00:41:58,214
I know my own impression
is that it's...
599
00:41:58,381 --> 00:42:01,578
a vast, lonely...
600
00:42:01,718 --> 00:42:04,516
forbidding-type existence...
601
00:42:04,654 --> 00:42:06,383
or expanse of nothing.
602
00:42:07,690 --> 00:42:10,124
It certainly would not
appear to be...
603
00:42:10,293 --> 00:42:13,285
a very inviting place
to live or work.
604
00:42:14,731 --> 00:42:17,598
Jim, what have you
thought most about?
605
00:42:17,734 --> 00:42:21,033
Well, Frank, my thoughts
are very similar.
606
00:42:21,170 --> 00:42:22,899
The vast loneliness...
607
00:42:23,039 --> 00:42:27,135
of the moon up here is awe-inspiring,
and it makes you realize...
608
00:42:27,277 --> 00:42:30,041
just what you have
back there on Earth.
609
00:42:30,179 --> 00:42:34,309
The Earth from here is a grand oasis
from the big vastness of space.
610
00:42:35,752 --> 00:42:39,085
The sky up here
is also rather forbidding.
611
00:42:40,723 --> 00:42:44,420
An expanse of blackness
with no stars visible when...
612
00:42:45,628 --> 00:42:48,688
we're flying over the moon
in daylight.
613
00:42:48,831 --> 00:42:50,628
We understand, Apollo 8.
614
00:42:50,767 --> 00:42:53,292
We have a magnificent picture here.
615
00:43:00,276 --> 00:43:02,972
For all the people back on Earth...
616
00:43:03,112 --> 00:43:07,481
the crew of Apollo 8 has a message
we would like to send to you.
617
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,181
"In the beginning...
618
00:43:12,322 --> 00:43:15,189
God created the heaven
and the Earth...
619
00:43:15,325 --> 00:43:17,088
and the Earth was without form...
620
00:43:17,226 --> 00:43:18,818
and void...
621
00:43:18,961 --> 00:43:22,522
and darkness was upon the face
of the deep.
622
00:43:22,665 --> 00:43:26,396
And the Spirit of God
moved upon the face of the waters...
623
00:43:26,536 --> 00:43:29,369
and God said,
'Let there be light.'
624
00:43:31,641 --> 00:43:33,609
And there was light.
625
00:43:33,776 --> 00:43:35,801
And God saw the light...
626
00:43:35,945 --> 00:43:38,004
and that it was good...
627
00:43:38,147 --> 00:43:41,241
and God divided the light
from the darkness.
628
00:43:53,129 --> 00:43:54,994
And God called the light 'day'...
629
00:43:55,131 --> 00:43:57,190
and the darkness
he called 'night.'
630
00:43:57,333 --> 00:44:00,427
And the evening and the morning
were the first day.
631
00:44:01,938 --> 00:44:03,337
And God said...
632
00:44:03,473 --> 00:44:06,340
'Let there be a firmament
in the midst of the waters...
633
00:44:06,476 --> 00:44:09,343
and let it divide the waters
from the waters.'
634
00:44:09,479 --> 00:44:11,174
And it was so.
635
00:44:12,448 --> 00:44:15,611
And God called the firmament heaven.
636
00:44:16,619 --> 00:44:19,679
And the evening and the morning
were the second day.
637
00:44:27,697 --> 00:44:30,791
And God said, 'Let the waters
under the heaven be gathered together...
638
00:44:30,933 --> 00:44:32,958
unto one place...
639
00:44:33,102 --> 00:44:35,798
and let the dry land appear,'
and it was so.
640
00:44:36,939 --> 00:44:39,840
And God called the dry land Earth.
641
00:44:41,110 --> 00:44:45,206
And the gathering together
of the waters, called He seas.
642
00:44:45,348 --> 00:44:47,339
And God saw that it was good."
643
00:44:50,987 --> 00:44:52,852
And from the crew of Apollo 8...
644
00:44:54,357 --> 00:44:56,222
we close with good night...
645
00:44:57,660 --> 00:44:59,059
good luck...
646
00:45:00,430 --> 00:45:01,863
a merry Christmas...
647
00:45:03,366 --> 00:45:05,266
and God bless all of you...
648
00:45:06,502 --> 00:45:09,369
all of you on the good Earth.
649
00:45:15,445 --> 00:45:17,140
Apollo 8, Houston.
650
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:17,746
Go ahead, Houston.
651
00:45:18,781 --> 00:45:22,615
We've reviewed all your systems,
and you are go for TEI.
652
00:45:22,752 --> 00:45:25,619
That's good news.
Apollo 8 is go.
653
00:45:25,755 --> 00:45:29,623
Everything looks good
going over the hill. Good luck, guys.
654
00:45:29,759 --> 00:45:31,249
Roger, Houston. Thank you.
655
00:45:43,873 --> 00:45:47,468
After ten revolutions around the moon,
one task will remain for the crew...
656
00:45:47,610 --> 00:45:49,578
upon which their lives depend--
657
00:45:49,745 --> 00:45:51,474
the firing of the engine.
658
00:45:51,614 --> 00:45:54,310
The crucial four-minute burn
of the SPS engine...
659
00:45:54,450 --> 00:45:58,318
to begin astronauts Borman, Lovell
and Anders on their long voyage home...
660
00:45:58,454 --> 00:46:01,321
takes place here
on the far side of the moon.
661
00:46:01,457 --> 00:46:04,790
out of sight but certainly not out
of the minds of Mission Control...
662
00:46:04,927 --> 00:46:06,588
and all of us here.
663
00:46:06,729 --> 00:46:09,630
We will not know Apollo 8's status
until the spacecraft...
664
00:46:09,799 --> 00:46:12,666
comes from around
the far side of the moon...
665
00:46:12,802 --> 00:46:15,862
and acquisition of signal
is achieved.
666
00:46:16,005 --> 00:46:19,839
If the astronaut radio voices,
telemetry data...
667
00:46:19,976 --> 00:46:22,945
comes later than 38 minutes
after loss of signal...
668
00:46:23,112 --> 00:46:26,980
it means quite simply that the engine
did not get a good burn...
669
00:46:27,116 --> 00:46:30,313
and Apollo 8 is still in orbit
around the moon.
670
00:46:30,453 --> 00:46:32,318
The SPS engine must fire.
671
00:46:32,455 --> 00:46:35,151
There is no backup,
there is no contingency...
672
00:46:35,291 --> 00:46:36,883
in case of its failure.
673
00:46:38,094 --> 00:46:40,324
All we can do is wait.
674
00:47:44,527 --> 00:47:45,926
Houston, Apollo 8.
675
00:47:47,129 --> 00:47:50,690
Please be advised,
there is a Santa Claus.
676
00:47:50,833 --> 00:47:52,300
Thank you, Apollo 8.
677
00:47:52,468 --> 00:47:54,527
You'd be the best to know.
678
00:48:16,192 --> 00:48:17,557
Apollo 8, Houston.
679
00:48:17,693 --> 00:48:19,126
Go ahead, Houston.
680
00:48:19,295 --> 00:48:22,628
We received a number of congratulatory
telegrams in the past few hours.
681
00:48:22,765 --> 00:48:25,734
If you don't mind,
I'd like to read a couple to you.
682
00:48:25,901 --> 00:48:27,630
That sounds good.
Go ahead.
683
00:48:27,770 --> 00:48:30,238
Here's one that reads...
684
00:48:30,406 --> 00:48:34,206
"Congratulations on one of
the greatest achievements made by man.
685
00:48:34,343 --> 00:48:37,710
You have turned into reality
the dream of Robert Goddard."
686
00:48:39,215 --> 00:48:43,083
It's signed "Charles Lindbergh
and Ann Morrow Lindbergh."
687
00:48:44,887 --> 00:48:48,721
This one is addressed to Frank Borman,
James Lovell and William Anders.
688
00:48:50,326 --> 00:48:52,419
"Good luck and godspeed."
689
00:48:52,561 --> 00:48:54,290
And it's from
Lyndon Baines Johnson.
690
00:48:56,565 --> 00:48:59,534
And you got one
from a Mrs. Valerie Pringle.
691
00:48:59,702 --> 00:49:02,603
I'm sure that's not a name
any of you recognize.
692
00:49:02,772 --> 00:49:05,639
It's just a telegram that one of
the public affairs officials at NASA...
693
00:49:05,775 --> 00:49:07,640
picked up because he liked it.
694
00:49:08,811 --> 00:49:10,676
Mrs. Pringle writes, very simply...
695
00:49:12,148 --> 00:49:14,514
"You saved 1968."
