This day on which man will leave
Earth to walk on the Moon.

Three billion people went
about their daily lives.

Some in the way in their

It seemed that most people
were unaware that this event

might change the history

that this morning would be
marked in history books

and learned by their

When Apollo was safely under

and women over twenty five
centuries of recorded time.

APPLAUSE

NAMES FROM HISTORY LISTED

APPLAUSE

And Robert Goddard, the
American rocket pioneer.

Yanky inventor, dreamer,
they called him the Moon man

and laughed. But on his own,
he went ahead designing,

inventing, and testing.

His first proving grounds
were on his Aunt Ethyl's farm

in Alborne, Massachusetts.
The neighbours complained.

With a grant from
Daniel Guggenheim,

he moved to New Mexico
with his wife Esther

who was also his camera woman.
Goddard had invented

and launched the world's first
liquid propellant rocket

in 1926 and in the end
he accumulated more than

two hundred patents
for everything

from multistage rockets to fuel
pumps and clustered engines.

MUSIC

By the year 1930, his rockets
achieved a speed of five hundred

miles per hour and an altitude
of two thousand feet.

This was the year in which
the three Apollo astronauts

were born.

Goddard had a vision
of the age of space,

but the world was too slow to
make it happen before his death.

Thank you Robert Goddard
for your inventiveness

and perseverance. For most
people, a trip to planets

was easy. All you needed was
a ten cent movie ticket

and a nickel bag of popcorn.

What science fiction in the
childhood of the space age

could've guessed the shape of
reality? The Saturn five rocket.

Three stages, twenty
eight stories tall,

with eleven engines as
powerful as all the waterfalls

in North America combined.
Years in the planning,

months in the building and
testing, the Saturn first stage

lived but two minutes,

Staging and ignition.

Eleven Houston, thrust is go.

- Mission control in Houston,
Texas had taken over from launch

control at Cape Kennedy
for the duration

of the eight day mission.

The complicated technology
of Apollo Saturn evolved

from an ingeniously simple
concept. Lunar, Orbit,

Rendezvous. This requires a
rocket made in many pieces

that discards the useless
weight of each piece

when its function is completed.

The flight began with a vertical
lift through the heavy lower

atmosphere and a
tilt to the east

at six thousand miles per
hour the empty first stage

is discarded to save weight.
So is an adapter ring

in the unused escape tower.
With the second stage firing,

it reaches fifteen
thousand miles per hour

when it too is jettisoned.

The third stage places Apollo
in Earth orbit at seventeen

thousand four hundred
miles per hour.

When the space craft has
been thoroughly checked out

by the crew, the third stage
fires again. Its speed now

tearing at free from the
grip of Earth's gravity.

BEEPING

While coasting outward the
command service module

separates and docks for
access to the lunar module.

And the empty third
stage is left behind.

BEEPING

Apollo losses speed
throughout nine tenths

of its journey until the Moon's
gravity overcomes the pull

of Earth. Apollo fires
in reverse direction.

Slowing down enough to
be captured in orbit

about the Moon. Armstrong and
Aldrin entered the Lunar

module Eagle which separates
leaving Collins in the command

service module in Lunar orbit.

BEEPING

Eagle slows still more and
breaks to a touch down

on the lunar surface.

BEEPING

After the Moon walk. The
upper stage of the Eagle

lifts off leaving behind the
now useless landing stage

and swings into orbit to
dock Columbia once again.

When the crew and Moon
samples are transferred

to the command service module
the lunar module is discarded.

The command service module fires
itself out of lunar orbit

and falls back to Earth.

BEEPING

As it approaches the
re-entry speed of nearly

twenty five thousand
miles per hour,

the service module drops away.
The command module

plunges into the atmosphere
protected by its heat shield.

Slowed still more by the
heavy lower atmosphere

it parachutes into the sea.

The command module, Columbia,
is all that remains

of the original three thousand
tons of rocket fuel and cargo.

Apollo 11 this is Houston over.

While in Earth orbit, the
Apollo crew had less than

two hours to check out all
their space craft systems.

The last chance to discover
and correct any malfunction

before the third stage
engine is restarted to break

them free of Earth. The
translunar injection.

We're ten minutes
away from ignition

and translunar injection.

Apollo 11 this is Houston.
You are a go for TLI over.

Apollo 11. Thank you.

Roger out.

Apollo 11 this is Houston,
slightly less than one minute

to ignition and
everything is go.

Roger. Ignition.

We confirm ignition
and the thrust is go.

Apollo 11 Roger.

Guidance looking good.
Velocity twenty six thousand

feet per second.

Telemetry and radar
tracking both solid.

Velocity twenty seven thousand
eight hundred feet per second.

Through the window of
the command module,

the Earth gently slipped away.

Apollo 11, this is Houston.
Thrust is good.

Everything is still
looking good.

Roger.

Twenty nine thousand feet
per second building up

toward thirty thousand
feet per second.

Apollo 11 this is Houston.
Three and a half minutes

and you're still looking good.
Your predicted cut off

is right on the nominal.

Deep space tracking antennas.
A third of a world apart.

Listen to Apollo and spoke to
Apollo. As the Earth turned,

at least one of them would
have contact with Apollo

at all times except for when
it passed behind the Moon.

Thirty four thousand
feet per second now.

Altitude one hundred fifty two.

STATIC

Thirty-five thousand feet
per second. Cut off.

With sling velocity thirty five
thousand five hundred seventy

feet per second.

Altitude one hundred seventy
seven nautical miles.

At three hours eleven
minutes into the mission,

distance from Earth three
thousand one hundred forty

nautical miles.

The SIVB is reported in a stable
altitude for the separation.

Apollo 11 this is Houston.
You're go for separation.

OK... will be coming... down.
My tendency is to use

bottle primary one for
proven checklist,

therefore I just turned down.

- Roger we concur
with the logic.

We are awaiting
confirmation of separation.

Roger.

We confirm the separation
here on the ground.

Apollo 11 this is Houston,
radio check. Over.

STATIC

The Goldstone station
reports a very weak signal.

We believe that Mike Collins
is now manoeuvring the space

craft in the transposition
and docking manoeuvre

and the antenna patterns
aren't too good at the moment.

So we have a weak
signal strength.

The command service module
separated and turned

around to dock with the
Eagle of the lunar module.

Apollo 11, Apollo 11 this is
Houston broadcasting on upline.

Request Omni bravo if you
read the request. Omni bravo.

Out.

Apollo 11, this is
Houston, how do you read?

STATIC

Apollo 11 this is Houston
radio check over?

Roger we are copying you
about five by two very weak.

Can you give us a

STATIC AND CRACKLING VOICE

Loud and clear Mike and we
understand that you are docked.

That's right.

Apollo 11 Houston. We
recommend you accept a noun

forty nine continue through
your sequence of sightings

and then we'll analyse the
data afterwards over.

OK.

On board was a fourth brain.
A small computer called DSKY

which solved problems and
helped for the long sequences

of systems checks and
data exchange with Earth.

Houston, Apollo 11, star
forty has just disappeared

now in the sextant.

Could you turn your angle
to forty seven... high.

Standby.

Apollo 11, Houston we like
you to press on the star

forty four over.

Yeah. Roger.

They found their way across
the sea of space navigating

by the same stars that guided
Columbus to shores unknown.

11, Houston we copy.
Two good marks. Over.

OK. Drogue removal
is coming next.

Roger.

Neil Armstrong up in the
tunnel at this point removing

the probe and drogue
assembly, in preparation

for the ingress into
the lunar module.

OK. It's moved now. Coming down.

Roger.

After docking pressure was
equalized. The hatch was open

so that the crewmen could
float through the tunnel

between the two craft to give
Eagle a detailed inspection.

Its navigation,
communication, propulsion,

and life support systems.

Hey ah vehicle is surprisingly
free of any debris floating

around it. It's very clean.

Roger.

Three days falling to the Moon.
Free of the gravity

of Earth. No up or down.
No day or night. A sense

of stillness while travelling
at the speed of a meteor.

Is that about how long it
will be before you start

closing the LEM back up? Over.

An invisible speck in the night.
Somewhere between here

and there constantly
monitored from Earth.

Within this tiny space craft a
temporary Earth environment.

Warmth, air, food, water.
Everything necessary

to sustain life.

Beyond these fragile walls
nothingness. Absolute cold.

An end to life.

The most important function
of the space craft, life.

Was also monitored constantly
through telemetry.

The heartbeat and breathing
of each astronaut.

Although each breath was
thirty thousand feet farther

from Earth than the breath
before it. Should one heart

flutter it would at once be a
matter of concern to millions

worlds away. Unlike any other
place man had travelled before,

space could provide
him with nothing.

It is a vacuum. Devoid of every
element needed for life.

To send man into this
nothingness to protect him.

It was first necessary to define
him. What is the human machine?

How does it function?
What is the nature

of its nervous system? It's
respiration? It's circulation?

Digestion? Sight? Hearing?
Balance? Its endurance?

HEARTBEAT

What gasses to breathe should
he take with him from Earth?

What atmospheric pressure suits
him best? Is it possible

to give him a more efficient
atmosphere for space travel

than nature provides on Earth?

HISSING

The Moon is two hundred
and fifty degrees hot

in Sunlight and two hundred
forty degrees below zero

in the middle of its night.
How long can a man bake

or freeze? What
protection will he need

from this inhuman environment?

What strains will the heart
take when the pressure

of gravity is removed
from the limbs?

ENGINE ROARING

We were defining the physical
man in absolute terms.

ENGINE ROARING

Once we knew Man's limitations,
we could build him

an artificial environment
for space travel.

Columbia, the Command Module
was a supreme achievement

of the technology of its age.

It was a mini planet complete
with its own environmental

control system,
telecommunications,

electrical power, guidance,
navigation, stabilization,

propulsion, reaction control.
It provided hot and cold water,

and removed carbon
dioxide from the air.

Three men could live here for
more than a week. Eat, work,

sleep, shave, exercise,
and listen to music.

It was micromedia proof,
burn proof, and sea worthy,

and it could tilt itself in any
direction. In short it was

the most intricate and
sophisticated machine

ever made by man.

As for man however, was stuck
with the original model.

All we can do is add an outer
layer of things he does not

naturally have. Space medicine
showed us where man is

vulnerable and we learned
to compensate for most

of the weaknesses
with technology

and careful workmanship.

I made boxing gloves before
I came here and the fact is

I was an experienced sewer but
I had to learn all over again

because ah it was completely
different from what I had

sewed before. This was getting
right down to a sixty fourth

of an inch and where I sewed
before you just sewed on

a production line.

And this here is quality
more than quantity.

- Like we always think, our
job is the hardest.

Whatever we're doing we
got the hardest job.

But when they say, well
who maybe do so and so,

and you'll find out that
job is harder than yours.

And a lot of times we're
sewing or making things

and maybe the girl next to you
she is doing the same thing

but we never see the suit
put together. We don't know

whether this part goes or
the other one don't know

where the other part goes.

Like the gloves, if they
give a glove to sew

you wouldn't know
where to start.

- Well when they're up there
in space, you know what parts

you've worked on and you
just say well I hope that part

don't fail because I'd feel
it was my fault if it did.

- My sentiment, just what Hazel
said, well I just wondered

if my pair of gloves
was what he had on.

- So if you make a mistake, if
you don't admit it you have

to think about the astronaut
too. Like a needle hole

in a bladder or something
like that. Well if you don't

admit that, that would be on
your conscience all the time

seems to me. Cause I remember
Armstrong and all them used

to come in and they would
look around to see

what we were doing.

Once in a while they would
talk to us and we'd get them

to sign their autograph. Some
of them were real comical.

We got a kick out of them. We
all want to talk to them again.

I remember one of them going
down the isle and everybody

looked at him, looked at him
afraid to talk. I said hi buddy.

- Oh. I'd love to go into space.
I think it would be

really thrilling. Just to
get in there and just blast off.

I'd love to go to space
and just live there.

Everyday you get up. You
come to work. You go home.

You clean house. If you go
out there, there's no house,

no kids, no problems!

I like to ride an airplane and I
think I'd like to go into space.

And I'd like to wear our
own suit that we make.

I think I can depend on it.

After body electrodes have
been attached to monitor

heart beat and breathing,
the first items of clothing

are the water cool underwear
and a urine collector.

A space suit is basically a
sealed bag of atmosphere.

Stiffened balloon pumped up
to counteract the vacuum

of space. It might be
called a one man space ship

of the smallest
possible dimensions.

The pressure suit has to guard
against extreme temperatures.

Hard radiation from the Sun and
tiny meteorites, yet it must

have the flexibility to allow
man to function as he would

is one asking that you watch for
a lovely girl with a big rabbit.

Very interesting!

Hello there. An ancient
legend says a beautiful

Chinese girl called Chango
has been living there for

four thousand 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'll keep a close

Eagle Houston we see
you on the... over.

Roger. Eagle Undocked.

Roger how does it look?

The Eagle has wings.

The Eagle has wings.

On its own now but with
Columbia near at hand,

it coasted around to the
back side of the Moon.

And there while out of direct
communication with the Earth,

it fired its engine to slow
its decent to a touchdown

on the near side of the Moon.

Collins in Columbia continued
in orbit awaiting their return.

Okay all flight controllers go,
no go for landing.

We copy you down Eagle.

Houston, ah, Tranquillity base
here. The Eagle has landed.

This is Apollo control Houston
at one hundred and five hours.

Down in the flight of Apollo 11.
Now our current plan

is to have crew members
aboard the Eagle to eat

and relax for a little while
prior to starting EVA prep

so we won't know with certainty
or have a reasonable

time until about
an hour before...

MULTIPLE LANGUAGES REPORTING

And the world waited.
July 20th, 1969.

It is said that five hundred
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.

Houston, ah, this is Neil.
Radio check.

Neil this is Houston
loud and clear....

Never before had so many
people been attuned

to one event at one time.

MULTIPLE LANGUAGES REPORTING

The world waited.
Curious, wondering, aware

like a sleeper wakened in the
night by a far away sound.

A moment sensed more
than understood.

BEEP

OK Neil. We can see you
coming down the ladder now.

Okay, I just checked getting
back up to that first step.

It's not even collapsed too
far, but it's adequate

to get back up.

Roger we copy.

I'm at the foot of the
ladder, the LEM footpads

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.

It's almost like a powder.

It's very fine.

OK. I'm going to
step off the LM now.

That's one small step for man.
One giant leap for Mankind.

That's one small step for man
yet one giant leap for Mankind.

Ah that looks beautiful
from here now.

It has a stark beauty all
of its own. It's like much

of the high desert of
the United States.

It's ah different but it's
very pretty out here.

Are you getting a TV
picture now Houston?

Neil, yes we are getting
a TV Picture...now.

OK ready for me to come out?

All set.

Okay I am on the top step
at the very simple matter

to hop down from one
step to the next.

You got three more steps
and then a long one.

Okay I am going to leave
that one foot up there

and both hands down about
the fourth rung up.

There you go.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

A little more about another
inch. Hey you got it!

That's a good step.

Beautiful view. Ain't
that something?

Magnificent sight out here.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Very very fine powder isn't it?

Isn't it fine?

And Neil, didn't I say we
might see some purple rocks?

And the purple rocks.

Yes. Very small
sparkly fragments.

Okay Houston, I'm going
to change lenses on you.

Roger Neil.

You're going too fast
on the panorama sweep.

You're going to
have to stop for...

I haven't stop. I haven't
set it down yet.

That's the first picture
in the panorama.

Okay I am going to move it.

Tell me if you get
a picture Houston.

We got a beautiful picture Neil.

Okay we got that one.

Okay. There's another good one.

For a final orientation,
we'd like it to come left

about five degrees over.

OK.

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
unfiltered particles

from the Sun. To record
Moon quakes. To measure

precisely why laser beam
reflection the exact distance

between Moon and Earth.

Columbia, Columbia. This
is Houston AOS over.

Houston, Columbia over.

Roger the EVA is
progressing beautifully.

Setting up the flag now.

I guess you are about
the only person around

that doesn't have TV
coverage of this scene.

That's alright. I
don't mind it a bit.

They've got the flag up now
and you can see the stars

and stripes on Moon.

Beautiful just beautiful.

How is the quality of the TV?

Ah, it's beautiful Mike.
Really is.

I'd like to evaluate the
various paces that a person...

travelling on the lunar
surface can make. You do have

to be careful to keep track of
where your centre of mass is.

Sometimes it takes about two
or three paces to make sure

you got your feet
underneath you.

At about two of three to four
easy paces can bring you

to a fairly smooth stop. Like
a football pro just have to

cut off to the side a
little bit. A kangaroo hop.

That works on your
forward stability,

but not quite as good.

It could get rather tiring
after several hundred

but this may be a
function of the suit

as well as a lack of
gravity forces.

ELECTRICAL HUMMING AND STATIC

I noticed in the soft spots
where we have footprints

nearly an inch deep that
the soil is very cohesive

and it will retain a slope
of probably 70 degrees

on the side of the foot print.

Buzz is making his way
around the LEM photographing

it from various angles. Looking
at its conditions on all sides.

Now right here in this area
there are two craters.

The one that is right in front
of me now is as I look off

in about the eleven o'clock
position from facing that.

It's about thirty to
thirty five feet...

Roger Out.

HUMMING AND STATIC

In the foreground Buzz Aldrin is
collecting a core tube sample.

I hope you're watching
how hard I have to hit

this into the ground to the tune
of about five inches Houston.

Roger.

It almost looks wet.

Ah, Buzz this is Houston.
You've got about ten minutes

left now prior to
commencing your EVA

termination activities. Over.

Roger. I understand.

It's marvellous.

- Absolutely fantastic.

- The first person on the Moon.

You know it's just too much.
I can't get over it.

- I don't know how to put it.
You know, but it's most

marvellous thing it's a miracle.

- This is... I don't know.

- 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 it's 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're all
human beings together.

I hope this brings unity
amongst all countries.

And I just hope it
helps you to solve

all the internal
problems you may have.

- Well I think it is a waste of
a lot of money that could be

used for something else.
They holler about the people

being on starvation.

- It's huge amount of money
American spend to see

what the Moon is like.
What's for?

- It's disgusting. It's a
pity that they haven't got

something else to do. Been
better if they done something

for the old-uns.

- What if Columbus had decided
that he just couldn't get

the money from Isabella,
where would we be?

- That's one of God's celestial
planets and he put it in the sky

for a purpose. And he didn't
put people to clutter up

like they have the Earth.

- Myself, I'm really interested
to see what's 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 forty five miles
above the Moon's 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.

ELECTRICAL HUMMING AND STATIC

For thirty times he saw the
Earth rise over the horizon

of the Moon. Twelve
thousand miles of twilight.

A line that divides night from
day for three billion people

on space ship Earth.

It is good to see
the whole Earth.

To see the Earth whole.

Within this strange ship two
astronauts and a treasure.

Triple sealed vacuum
boxes of rocks and soil

from the surface of the Moon.

HUMMING AND BUZZING

Locked within these rocks
were secrets of the ages

to be studied and deciphered
by the scientist 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 wondering planet
captured by the Earth

eons ago?

MELODIC BUZZING AND HUMMING

How hot was the Sun three
billion years ago?

BUZZING AND HUMMING

When Armstrong and Aldrin
with their precious load

of Moon rocks had transferred
to Columbia the faithful Eagle,

its task completed,
could be cut adrift.

Columbia fired out of lunar
orbit to begin its three day

fall back to Earth where the
recovery fleet was waiting

for its splash down
in the Pacific.

MUSIC

Apollo 11, Houston with a little
recovery force information.

Over.

Go ahead.

Roger. The Hornet is on the
station just far enough

off the target
point to keep from

getting hit. Recovery one....

July 24th, the Hornet was on
station and the President

of the United States was aboard.

Re-entry into the Earth's
invisible atmosphere

carries with it one of the
most critical moments.

Travelling nearly twenty five
thousand miles per hour,

the command module can
miss the angle of re-entry

by only several degrees and
disintegrate into flames

or bounce off into
space never to return.

Three men who had done what
no man before had done.

A technological feat was
believed beyond the realm

of possibility.

The fulfilment of
an age old 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

A treasure of the ages.

Stones from across the night.

Unrubbed by wind.
Unwashed by rain.

Scattered on tranquillity.

Bombarded by solar particles
for billions of years

but unchanged in any other way.

A Moon rock is like
a diary of the Sun.

An eye unblinking

It stared across
the sea of space.

It watched the blue
planet when life began.

Locked within our Sun are
answers to mysteries

that 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 non living

and living things?

How delicate is the balance?

Man slowly begins to realize
how fragile is his bubble

of life?

MUSIC

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.

Where we're going.

We may know where is the end,
where is the beginning.
