225
00:12:02,755 --> 00:12:04,023
{\an7}WE HAVE CHICKEN STEW,

{\an7}\h\hWHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN

EVEN SWALLOW IN SPACE?
230
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:19,105
{\an7}NOBODY REALLY KNEW.
231
00:12:21,174 --> 00:12:26,446
{\an7}IN 1962, JOHN GLENN PROVED
\hTHAT ASTRONAUTS CAN EAT,
232
00:12:26,479 --> 00:12:28,681
{\an7}AT LEAST FROM A TUBE.
233
00:12:28,715 --> 00:12:31,985
{\an7}HE COULD CHOOSE APPLESAUCE

{\an7}INTO BITE-SIZED MORSELS
237
00:12:43,229 --> 00:12:47,166

238
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,969
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hLevasseur: IN SPACE,
CRUMBS DON’T FALL, THEY FLOAT,
239
00:12:50,003 --> 00:12:52,239
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hAND AIR FILTERS
COULD PICK UP THOSE CRUMBS,
240
00:12:52,272 --> 00:12:53,840
{\an7}AND IT WOULD JUST CREATE
\hA MAINTENANCE PROBLEM

{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hTHEY’RE BUSILY DOING
THE MISSION ON THE TEST FLIGHT,
291
00:15:11,644 --> 00:15:13,079
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hMAKING SURE
THINGS WORK PROPERLY.

FLIGHT DIRECTOR GLYNN LUNNEY
293
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:22,555
{\an7}\h\hISN’T USED TO HEARING NO,
EVEN FROM ONE OF NASA’S STARS.
294
00:15:22,588 --> 00:15:23,589
{\an7}\h\h\h\hGlynn Lunney:
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME
295
00:15:23,623 --> 00:15:25,492
{\an7}\h\h\hWE ACTUALLY HAD
A SERIOUS FALLING-OUT
296
00:15:25,525 --> 00:15:29,029
{\an7}BETWEEN THE GROUND CREWS
\hAND THE FLIGHT CREWS.
297
00:15:29,061 --> 00:15:32,731
{\an7}\h\hI WAS KIND OF UPSET
WITH, WITH WHAT WENT ON.
298
00:15:34,567 --> 00:15:37,470
{\an7}Chaikin: MISSION CONTROL
\h\hREALLY IS ESSENTIAL
299
00:15:37,503 --> 00:15:40,106
{\an7}TO CARRYING OUT THE MISSION
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSUCCESSFULLY,
300
00:15:40,139 --> 00:15:43,542
{\an7}\hAND I THINK IT CAME
AS A, A BIT OF A SHOCK
301
00:15:43,576 --> 00:15:45,278
{\an7}TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE
\h\h\h\hON THE GROUND
302
00:15:45,311 --> 00:15:46,879
{\an7}THAT YOU HAVE A SPACE CREW
303
00:15:46,913 --> 00:15:51,117
{\an7}THAT’S NOT NECESSARILY GONNA DO
EVERYTHING YOU WANT THEM TO DO.
304
00:15:51,150 --> 00:15:53,119
{\an7}Man: THERE IT IS.
\h\h\hTHERE IT IS.

{\an7}Narrator: A DAY LATER,
\h\h\hTHE CREW RELENTS
306
00:15:55,888 --> 00:15:59,024
{\an7}AND AGREES TO SQUEEZE IN
\hSOME TIME ON CAMERA...
307
00:15:59,058 --> 00:16:01,060
{\an7}Man: WE’RE RECEIVING
\h\h\h\hTHE PICTURE.
308
00:16:01,093 --> 00:16:03,696
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hIT’S A LITTLE BRIGHT.
COULD YOU BRING IT IN A LITTLE?
309
00:16:03,729 --> 00:16:04,730
{\an7}Narrator: ...GIVING THE PUBLIC
310
00:16:04,764 --> 00:16:08,201
{\an7}ITS FIRST REAL-TIME LOOK
\h\h\h\h\h\hINTO SPACE.

00:16:08,234 --> 00:16:09,535
{\an7}Man: ROGER.
312
00:16:09,569 --> 00:16:12,439

314
00:16:14,941 --> 00:16:17,243
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOF HAVING
THE LIVE TELEVISION BROADCAST,
315
00:16:17,276 --> 00:16:19,979
{\an7}\hNASA SAW IT AS A PRIORITY
TO, TO SHARE THE EXPERIENCE
316
00:16:20,012 --> 00:16:22,648
{\an7}\hOF SPACE EXPLORATION
WITH THE WORLD PUBLIC,
317
00:16:22,682 --> 00:16:25,251
{\an7}\h\hAND THIS OPENNESS
WAS IN DIRECT CONTRAST
318
00:16:25,284 --> 00:16:27,653
{\an7}TO THE SOVIET UNION’S
\hMORE CLOSED PROGRAM.
319

{\an7}Man: WE’RE STARTING
\h\hTO PICK YOU UP.

THAT’S A GOOD PICTURE.
321
00:16:31,491 --> 00:16:32,792

322
00:16:32,825 --> 00:16:35,227
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNarrator:
THE BROADCASTS ARE A HIT,
323
00:16:35,261 --> 00:16:38,498
{\an7}BUT BEHIND THE SCENES, TROUBLE.
324
00:16:38,531 --> 00:16:40,033
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hMan: I THINK
WE CAN WORK THAT OUT.
325
00:16:40,066 --> 00:16:43,836
{\an7}\h\h\hNarrator: SCHIRRA THINKS
THE WORKLOAD IS WAY TOO MUCH.
326
00:16:43,870 --> 00:16:46,439
{\an7}Schirra: WE SHOULD FIND OUT
\h\hWHO THE IDIOT’S NAME IS
327
00:16:46,472 --> 00:16:48,441
{\an7}WHO THOUGHT UP THIS TEST.
328
00:16:48,474 --> 00:16:49,809
{\an7}I WANT TO FIND OUT,
329
00:16:49,842 --> 00:16:52,345
{\an7}\h\h\hAND I WANT TO TALK TO HIM
PERSONALLY WHEN I GET BACK DOWN.
330
00:16:52,378 --> 00:16:53,946
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hCunningham:
WALLY WAS ONE OF THOSE
331
00:16:53,980 --> 00:16:56,549
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hWITH, LIKE, KIND OF
A GENERAL BULL MOOSE COMPLEX,
332
00:16:56,582 --> 00:17:00,586
{\an7}\h\hSO WHEN WALLY HAD A COLD,
EVERYBODY HAD TO BE MISERABLE.
333
00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:02,489
{\an7}Man: AND THERE’S NO EXPERIENCE
\hWITH THE HELMET ON, EITHER,
334
00:17:02,522 --> 00:17:03,556
{\an7}THAT ONE.
335
00:17:03,589 --> 00:17:05,091
{\an7}Narrator: ON THE FINAL DESCENT,
336
00:17:05,124 --> 00:17:08,628
{\an7}MISSION CONTROL TELLS THE CREW
\h\h\hTO PUT ON THEIR HELMETS.
337
00:17:08,661 --> 00:17:10,129
{\an7}Man: WE TRIED THEM ON
\h\h\h\hTHIS MORNING.
338
00:17:10,162 --> 00:17:12,197
{\an7}Narrator: THE CREW REFUSES.
339
00:17:12,231 --> 00:17:15,034
{\an7}Man: IF WE HAD AN OPEN VISOR,
\h\h\hI’D GO ALONG WITH THAT.
340
00:17:15,067 --> 00:17:16,769
{\an7}Chaikin: SCHIRRA DIDN’T
\h\h\h\hWANT TO DO THIS
341
00:17:16,802 --> 00:17:19,938
{\an7}BECAUSE THEY NEEDED TO BE ABLE
\h\h\h\h\hTO CLEAR THEIR EARS
342
00:17:19,972 --> 00:17:23,809
{\an7}AS THE PRESSURE CHANGED
\h\hDURING THE DESCENT.
343
00:17:23,843 --> 00:17:25,945
{\an7}\h\h\hMan: OKAY, I GUESS YOU’D
BETTER BE PREPARED TO DISCUSS
344
00:17:25,978 --> 00:17:28,814
{\an7}IN SOME DETAIL WHEN WE LAND
WHY WE HAVEN’T GOT THEM ON.
345
00:17:28,848 --> 00:17:31,551
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hBUT IT’S YOUR NECK,
AND I HOPE YOU DON’T BREAK IT.
346
00:17:31,584 --> 00:17:32,718
{\an7}Man: THANK YOU.

ASTRONAUTS ARE BACK ON EARTH,
348
00:17:39,258 --> 00:17:40,693
{\an7}MISSION CONTROLLERS SWEAR
349
00:17:40,726 --> 00:17:43,462
{\an7}\hTHAT NONE OF THEM
WILL EVER FLY AGAIN.
350
00:17:45,898 --> 00:17:49,001
{\an7}\h\h\hLunney: IT LEFT A KIND OF
A SOUR TASTE IN PEOPLE’S MOUTH.
351
00:17:49,035 --> 00:17:50,603
{\an7}WHEN YOU’RE IN FRONT
OF THE WHOLE WORLD,
352
00:17:50,636 --> 00:17:54,740
{\an7}THERE’S A WAY TO MAKE A POINT
\hTHAT’S LESS CONFRONTATIONAL.
353
00:17:54,774 --> 00:17:56,509
{\an7}Narrator: 11 DAYS AFTER TAKEOFF,
354
00:17:56,542 --> 00:18:01,480
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hAPOLLO 7 SPLASHES DOWN
JUST 350 MILES SOUTH OF BERMUDA.
355
00:18:04,483 --> 00:18:07,720
{\an7}SAILORS FROM THE U.S.S. ESSEX
\h\h\h\h\hARE QUICKLY ON HAND.
356
00:18:10,289 --> 00:18:12,158
{\an7}THE CREW MAY HAVE GONE ROGUE,
357
00:18:12,191 --> 00:18:16,328
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hBUT THEY FLEW
AN ALMOST PERFECT MISSION,
358
00:18:16,362 --> 00:18:17,864
{\an7}PROVING THAT THE COMMAND MODULE
359
00:18:17,897 --> 00:18:21,734
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hCAN WEATHER
THE WORLD OF DEEP SPACE.
360
00:18:21,767 --> 00:18:23,636
{\an7}\h\h\h\hMuir-Harmony: AFTER
THE EXPERIENCE OF APOLLO 1,
361
00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:26,338
{\an7}\h\hAPOLLO 7 MADE IT FEEL LIKE
THE COUNTRY WAS BACK ON TRACK
362
00:18:26,372 --> 00:18:31,043
{\an7}AND THAT THE LUNAR MISSION
\h\h\h\hWAS WITHIN REACH.
363
00:18:31,077 --> 00:18:34,113
{\an7}Narrator: BUT WHILE NASA
\h\hSAVORS ITS SUCCESS,
364
00:18:34,146 --> 00:18:37,850
{\an7}U.S. INTELLIGENCE
REVEALS A SHOCK--
365
00:18:37,883 --> 00:18:41,553
{\an7}THE SOVIET SPACE PROGRAM APPEARS
TO BE BACK ON TRACK, TOO.
366
00:18:43,689 --> 00:18:45,424
{\an7}Barry: THE COMMON CONCEPTION
\h\h\h\hWAS THAT THE SOVIETS
367
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:47,627
{\an7}HAD SORT OF DROPPED OUT
\h\h\hOF THE SPACE RACE.
368
00:18:47,660 --> 00:18:49,595
{\an7}THAT’S ANYTHING BUT THE TRUTH.
369
00:18:49,629 --> 00:18:53,933
{\an7}♪
370
00:18:53,966 --> 00:18:56,869
{\an7}Narrator: THE LATEST REPORTS SAY
THAT THE SOVIETS MAY BE READY
371
00:18:56,902 --> 00:19:01,507
{\an7}TO SEND ONE OF THEIR SPACECRAFT
AROUND THE MOON.
372
00:19:01,540 --> 00:19:02,975
{\an7}Muir-Harmony: THE UNITED STATES
HAD BEEN TRAILING
373
00:19:03,009 --> 00:19:07,347
{\an7}\hBEHIND THE SOVIET UNION SINCE
1957 WITH THE LAUNCH OF SPUTNIK.
374
00:19:07,380 --> 00:19:10,149
{\an7}\h\hTHEY SENT THE FIRST HUMAN
INTO SPACE WITH YURI GAGARIN.
375
00:19:10,182 --> 00:19:12,151
{\an7}THEY SENT THE FIRST WOMAN
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hINTO SPACE.
376
00:19:12,184 --> 00:19:15,220
{\an7}\h\h\hTHEY HAD THE FIRST
EXTRA-VEHICLE ACTIVITY.
377
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:16,589
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAND SO,
THERE WAS A LOT OF CONCERN
378
00:19:16,622 --> 00:19:20,292
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTHAT THIS WOULD BE YET
ANOTHER BLOW TO U.S. PRESTIGE.
379
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:23,062
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hKluger: RUSSIAN EYES
WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST EYES
380
00:19:23,095 --> 00:19:25,464
{\an7}TO SEE THE FAR SIDE OF THE MOON.
381
00:19:25,498 --> 00:19:29,769
{\an7}DURING THE SPACE RACE, THAT MADE
AN ENORMOUS DIFFERENCE.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOF EFFORT,
383
00:19:32,004 --> 00:19:35,975
{\an7}\h\hNASA IS DETERMINED
NOT TO COME IN SECOND.
384
00:19:36,008 --> 00:19:38,911
{\an7}\h\h\hBUT THE PLAN THEY HAD
FOR THE APOLLO 8 TEST FLIGHT
385
00:19:38,944 --> 00:19:41,280
{\an7}ISN’T GOING TO WORK.
386
00:19:41,313 --> 00:19:43,916
{\an7}\h\hBarry: THEY HAD FLOWN THE
COMMAND MODULE IN EARTH ORBIT.
387
00:19:43,949 --> 00:19:45,050
{\an7}THE NEXT LOGICAL THING
388
00:19:45,084 --> 00:19:47,853
{\an7}IS TO TEST THE LUNAR MODULE
\h\h\h\h\h\hIN EARTH ORBIT.
389
00:19:47,887 --> 00:19:51,758
{\an7}\h\hKluger: IT WAS CLEAR THAT
THE LUNAR MODULE WASN’T READY.
390
00:19:51,791 --> 00:19:56,062
{\an7}NOBODY KNEW WHAT THEY COULD DO
\h\h\hUNTIL THE LEM WAS READY
391
00:19:56,095 --> 00:19:57,797
{\an7}IN ORDER TO ADVANCE THE MISSION.
392
00:20:00,566 --> 00:20:04,703

COOLLY CONSIDERS ITS OPTIONS
393
00:20:04,737 --> 00:20:08,708
{\an7}AND REVISITS A RADICAL IDEA.
394
00:20:08,741 --> 00:20:11,110
{\an7}\h\hBarry: THEY CAME TOGETHER
WITH THIS REALLY BOLD PLAN OF,
395
00:20:11,143 --> 00:20:13,112
{\an7}OKAY, WE DON’T HAVE
\h\hA LUNAR MODULE.
396
00:20:13,145 --> 00:20:14,980
{\an7}LET’S TAKE THIS COMMAND
\h\hAND SERVICE MODULE.
397
00:20:15,014 --> 00:20:15,982
{\an7}\hWE’RE GONNA PUT

\h\h\h\hHAS FLOWN ONLY ONCE,
400
00:20:21,887 --> 00:20:25,591
{\an7}AND NAVIGATION TO THE MOON
\hHAS YET TO BE MASTERED.
401
00:20:25,624 --> 00:20:28,627
{\an7}Kluger: THE THINKING WAS,
IT’S THE RISKIEST MISSION,
402
00:20:28,661 --> 00:20:30,830
{\an7}IT’S THE SCARIEST MISSION,
403
00:20:30,863 --> 00:20:33,999
{\an7}\h\h\h\hBUT IT’S A MISSION
WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO FLY,

00:20:34,033 --> 00:20:39,138

BECAUSE IT’S WHAT IS NEEDED.

\h\h\h\hFOR A SPACE MISSION,
411
00:21:03,462 --> 00:21:04,863

\h\h\h\hIT LOOKS LIKE WE’RE...
719
00:37:25,710 --> 00:37:26,778
{\an7}Narrator: EACH ONE OF THE CREW
720
00:37:26,811 --> 00:37:31,382
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTAKES A TURN
SHARING A SINGLE MESSAGE.
721
00:37:31,416 --> 00:37:32,751
{\an7}Anders: IN THE BEGINNING,
722
00:37:32,784 --> 00:37:35,887
{\an7}GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN
\h\h\h\hAND THE EARTH,
723
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,922
{\an7}AND THE EARTH WAS WITHOUT FORM,
724
00:37:37,956 --> 00:37:42,027
{\an7}\h\h\h\hAND VOID, AND DARKNESS
WAS UPON THE FACE OF THE DEEP.
725
00:37:42,060 --> 00:37:43,128
{\an7}Muir-Harmony: IT WAS DECIDED
726
00:37:43,161 --> 00:37:45,397
{\an7}THAT THEY SHOULD READ
\h\h\h\hFROM GENESIS.
727
00:37:45,430 --> 00:37:48,566
{\an7}Anders: AND GOD SAID
LET THERE BE LIGHT,
728
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,070
{\an7}\hAND THERE WAS LIGHT.
AND GOD SAW THE LIGHT.
729
00:37:52,103 --> 00:37:55,707
{\an7}\hMuir-Harmony: THE IDEA BEHIND
THAT WAS THAT IT WOULD RESONATE
730
00:37:55,740 --> 00:37:58,142
{\an7}WITH AS MANY PEOPLE
\h\h\hAS POSSIBLE...
731
00:37:58,176 --> 00:38:00,578
{\an7}\h\h\hLovell: AND GOD
CALLED THE LIGHT DAY,
732
00:38:00,612 --> 00:38:02,881
{\an7}AND THE DARKNESS
HE CALLED NIGHT.
733
00:38:02,914 --> 00:38:06,184
{\an7}AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING
WERE THE FIRST DAY.
734
00:38:06,217 --> 00:38:09,087
{\an7}Muir-Harmony: ...BECAUSE GENESIS
WAS SORT OF THE FOUNDATION
735
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,990
{\an7}OF MULTIPLE WORLD RELIGIONS...
736
00:38:12,023 --> 00:38:13,658
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBorman:
GOD SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD.
737
00:38:13,691 --> 00:38:14,492
{\an7}\h\h\h\hMuir-Harmony:
...THAT IT WOULDN’T BE
738
00:38:14,526 --> 00:38:15,527
{\an7}JUST A CHRISTIAN MESSAGE,
739
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,297
{\an7}BUT IT’D BE A MESSAGE
\h\h\hFOR ALL MANKIND.
740
00:38:19,330 --> 00:38:20,565
{\an7}Borman: GOD SAW THAT IT WAS...

\h\h\hIN 64 COUNTRIES.
743
00:38:26,037 --> 00:38:30,308

{\an7}THE THREE MEN ARE BACK
\h\hON THE GOOD EARTH.
747
00:38:45,490 --> 00:38:47,959
{\an7}\hBarry: APOLLO 8
WAS A HUGE SUCCESS
748
00:38:47,992 --> 00:38:49,660
{\an7}AND A BIG CONFIDENCE BOOSTER,
749
00:38:49,694 --> 00:38:52,263
{\an7}IN EFFECT, WE MIGHT ACTUALLY
\h\h\hPUT PEOPLE ON THE MOON
750
00:38:52,297 --> 00:38:54,900
{\an7}BEFORE THE END OF THE DECADE.
751
00:38:54,933 --> 00:38:58,503
{\an7}\hTHAT WAS A REALLY

00:39:00,038 --> 00:39:04,943
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hTHAT NASA COULD HAVE--
THE SECOND PERFECT TEST FLIGHT.

00:39:06,277 --> 00:39:09,747
{\an7}THE FLIGHT TEAM INDULGES
\hIN A RARE CELEBRATION.
755
00:39:09,781 --> 00:39:13,084
{\an7}TOMORROW THEY’LL BE
\h\h\hBACK AT WORK.
756
00:39:13,117 --> 00:39:17,154
{\an7}THEY HAVE JUST ONE YEAR LEFT
\hTO PUT A MAN ON THE MOON,
757
00:39:17,188 --> 00:39:20,391
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hAND THEY STILL
HAVE TO TEST THE LANDER.
758
00:39:20,425 --> 00:39:23,094
{\an7}Kluger: THERE WERE HUGE PARTIES,
759
00:39:23,127 --> 00:39:27,298
{\an7}\hAND THEN EVERYBODY WAS GONNA
BE RUNNING FLIGHT SIMULATIONS
760
00:39:27,332 --> 00:39:31,536
{\an7}BECAUSE APOLLO 9 WAS LAUNCHING
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h10 WEEKS LATER.
761
00:39:31,569 --> 00:39:34,305

{\an7}Narrator: DECEMBER 1968.
763
00:39:40,912 --> 00:39:42,914
{\an7}WHILE THE ASTRONAUTS OF APOLLO 8
764
00:39:42,947 --> 00:39:46,083
{\an7}CELEBRATE THEIR TRIP
\h\hAROUND THE MOON,
765
00:39:46,117 --> 00:39:50,688
{\an7}\hANOTHER TEAM IS HARD AT WORK
PREPARING FOR THE NEXT LAUNCH.
766
00:39:50,722 --> 00:39:52,357
{\an7}Lunney: IT WAS LIKE
WE JUST GOT THROUGH
767
00:39:52,390 --> 00:39:55,226
{\an7}\h\h\hONE MAJOR SET
OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS,
768
00:39:55,260 --> 00:39:59,965
{\an7}AND BEFORE WE HAD TIME TO SAVOR
AND ENJOY THE ACCOMPLISHMENT,
769
00:39:59,998 --> 00:40:01,666
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hWE WERE OFF
WORKING ON THE NEXT ONE.
770
00:40:03,601 --> 00:40:06,070
{\an7}Narrator: THE COMMAND MODULE
\h\hAND THE SATURN V ROCKET
771
00:40:06,104 --> 00:40:08,807
{\an7}HAVE MADE IT THROUGH
THEIR TEST FLIGHTS.
772
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,577
{\an7}\h\h\hNOW NASA MUST PROVE
THE LUNAR MODULE AS WELL.
773
00:40:17,215 --> 00:40:21,286
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hKNOWING WHAT THEY WANT
THE LUNAR MODULE TO DO IS EASY,
774
00:40:21,319 --> 00:40:25,557
{\an7}BUT IT TAKES A SEVEN-YEAR SPRINT
TO FIGURE OUT HOW.
775
00:40:25,590 --> 00:40:28,026
{\an7}Barry: THE LUNAR MODULE
\h\h\hWAS DESIGNED TO BE
776
00:40:28,059 --> 00:40:29,594
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBASICALLY
A LITTLE SHUTTLE VEHICLE
777
00:40:29,627 --> 00:40:33,898
{\an7}TO GET YOU FROM LUNAR ORBIT DOWN
TO THE MOON AND BACK UP AGAIN.
778
00:40:33,932 --> 00:40:37,569
{\an7}\h\hNarrator: IT’S A PUZZLE THAT
TAXES EVEN THE BRIGHTEST MINDS--
779
00:40:37,602 --> 00:40:39,037
{\an7}BUILDING SOMETHING ON EARTH
780
00:40:39,070 --> 00:40:42,874
{\an7}\h\hTHAT WILL ONLY WORK
IN THE VACUUM OF SPACE.
781
00:40:42,907 --> 00:40:46,110
{\an7}\hBarry: THEY’RE TRYING TO,
YOU KNOW, CREATE THIS THING
782
00:40:46,144 --> 00:40:47,779
{\an7}IN THAT ATMOSPHERE
783
00:40:47,812 --> 00:40:49,914
{\an7}WHERE THE REQUIREMENTS
THAT THEY NEED TO MEET
784
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:53,084
{\an7}ARE NOT REALLY CLEAR YET.
785
00:40:53,117 --> 00:40:55,286
{\an7}Narrator: BY MARCH 1969,
786
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,523
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hENGINEERS BELIEVE
THEY HAVE THE PERFECT DESIGN.
787
00:41:01,693 --> 00:41:05,230
{\an7}Margaret Weitekamp: BEHIND ME IS
THE LUNAR MODULE, WHICH IS LM-2,
788
00:41:05,263 --> 00:41:07,732
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTHE SECOND ONE
CREATED AND DEVELOPED,
789
00:41:07,765 --> 00:41:10,434
{\an7}\h\h\h\hAND THIS IS
A REAL LUNAR MODULE
790
00:41:10,468 --> 00:41:12,570
{\an7}THAT COULD HAVE LANDED
\h\h\h\h\hON THE MOON.
791
00:41:12,603 --> 00:41:16,974
{\an7}♪
792
00:41:17,008 --> 00:41:18,676
{\an7}ONE OF THE QUESTIONS
\hTHAT WE OFTEN GET
793
00:41:18,710 --> 00:41:20,212
{\an7}IS THAT CAN’T BE REAL
794
00:41:20,244 --> 00:41:22,580
{\an7}AND THAT CAN’T BE THE WAY
\h\h\hTHAT IT REALLY FLEW
795
00:41:22,613 --> 00:41:24,081
{\an7}BECAUSE IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE
796
00:41:24,115 --> 00:41:29,554
{\an7}\h\h\h\hWHAT PEOPLE EXPECT
A SPACESHIP TO LOOK LIKE.

SPINDLY LEGS,
798
00:41:32,223 --> 00:41:35,159
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hAND GOLD FOIL
WRAPPED AROUND ITS WAIST,
799
00:41:35,193 --> 00:41:38,863
{\an7}THE LUNAR MODULE LOOKS LIKE
\hNOTHING THAT’S EVER FLOWN.
800
00:41:38,896 --> 00:41:40,331
{\an7}\hWeitekamp: THE FACT
THAT THE LUNAR MODULE
801
00:41:40,365 --> 00:41:42,400
{\an7}DIDN’T NEED TO BE AERODYNAMIC
802
00:41:42,433 --> 00:41:43,968
{\an7}\hWAS A CHALLENGE
FOR THE ENGINEERS
803
00:41:44,002 --> 00:41:46,671
{\an7}BECAUSE THEY WERE SO USED
\h\h\h\h\hTO BUILDING THAT
804
00:41:46,704 --> 00:41:49,840
{\an7}INTO HOW THEY WOULD
CONSTRUCT A VEHICLE
805
00:41:49,874 --> 00:41:52,677
{\an7}FOR AVIATION OR FOR SPACEFLIGHT,
806
00:41:52,710 --> 00:41:56,447
{\an7}\h\hSO THIS REALLY REQUIRED
SOME OUT-OF-THE-BOX THINKING
807
00:41:56,481 --> 00:41:59,951
{\an7}\h\h\h\hABOUT WHAT WOULD
A SPACECRAFT LOOK LIKE.

812
00:42:15,900 --> 00:42:17,835
{\an7}Kluger: DAVE SCOTT
ONCE DESCRIBED IT
813
00:42:17,869 --> 00:42:20,672

814
00:42:20,705 --> 00:42:23,007
{\an7}\h\h\hTHEY HAD TO TAKE
THIS UNTRIED VEHICLE,
815
00:42:23,041 --> 00:42:24,876
{\an7}THEY HAD TO FLY IT

\h\h\h\hOF THE MOTHERSHIP,

{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAND SO IT WAS
A "WHAT IF" EXERCISE TO SAY,
862
00:44:45,616 --> 00:44:48,085
{\an7}"WE’VE GOT TO TEST THIS OUT
\h\h\hTO MAKE SURE IT WORKS
863
00:44:48,119 --> 00:44:49,621
{\an7}IN CASE WE ACTUALLY
\hDO HAVE A PROBLEM
864
00:44:49,654 --> 00:44:52,290
{\an7}\hON ONE OF THESE
LANDING MISSIONS."
865
00:44:52,323 --> 00:44:55,226
{\an7}Narrator: THE SPACE WALK
\hFALLS TO SCHWEICKART.
866
00:44:55,259 --> 00:44:59,296
{\an7}\hHE’LL BE TESTING A BRAND-NEW
SUIT FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
867
00:44:59,330 --> 00:45:02,466
{\an7}Kluger: ALL OTHER ASTRONAUTS
WHO HAD EVER WALKED IN SPACE
868
00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:07,105
{\an7}HAD BEEN ATTACHED TO THEIR
SPACECRAFT VIA UMBILICALS.
869
00:45:07,138 --> 00:45:10,174
{\an7}IN ORDER TO WALK ON THE MOON,
\hYOU HAD TO CUT THAT TETHER.
870
00:45:10,208 --> 00:45:13,478
{\an7}YOU HAD TO HAVE A COMPLETE
\h\h\hLIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEM
871
00:45:13,511 --> 00:45:15,947
{\an7}ON YOUR BACK.
872
00:45:15,980 --> 00:45:18,883
{\an7}Man: MR. SCHWEICKART,
\hPROCEED ON FORWARD.
873
00:45:18,916 --> 00:45:21,118
{\an7}Chaikin: RUSTY GOT OUT
\hOF THE LUNAR MODULE.
874
00:45:21,152 --> 00:45:25,423
{\an7}HE WAS GOING TO BE THE FIRST
\h\h\hTO TEST THE MOON SUIT
875
00:45:25,456 --> 00:45:27,291
{\an7}IN THE VACUUM OF SPACE.
876
00:45:27,325 --> 00:45:28,493
{\an7}Man: THAT LOOKS COMFORTABLE.
877
00:45:28,526 --> 00:45:30,928
{\an7}Chaikin: MEANWHILE, DAVE SCOTT
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWAS STICKING OUT
878
00:45:30,962 --> 00:45:35,033
{\an7}\h\hOF THE COMMAND MODULE HATCH
AND PHOTOGRAPHING AND OBSERVING
879
00:45:35,066 --> 00:45:37,368
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hWHILE RUSTY
CHECKED OUT THE SUIT.
880
00:45:37,401 --> 00:45:39,904
{\an7}Rusty Schweickart: OH, DAVE,
\hI’M GLAD WE STOPPED HERE.
881
00:45:39,937 --> 00:45:41,972
{\an7}\hDAVE WAS SUPPOSED
TO TAKE MOVIES OF IT
882
00:45:42,006 --> 00:45:43,508
{\an7}SO THAT WE WOULD DOCUMENT
883
00:45:43,541 --> 00:45:47,245
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hTHE STABILITY
OF BEING ABLE TO DO THIS.
884
00:45:47,278 --> 00:45:48,813
{\an7}I STARTED UP THE HAND RAIL,
885
00:45:48,846 --> 00:45:52,650
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hAND DAVE SAID,
"UH, THE CAMERA JAMMED."
886
00:45:52,683 --> 00:45:55,686
{\an7}\h\h\hAND SO JIM SAID, "OKAY,
DAVE, YOU’VE GOT FIVE MINUTES.
887
00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:58,623
{\an7}RUSTY, DON’T GO AWAY.
\h\hSTAY RIGHT THERE."
888
00:45:58,656 --> 00:46:01,592
{\an7}\hNarrator: SCOTT DUCKS
INTO THE COMMAND MODULE,
889
00:46:01,626 --> 00:46:06,598
{\an7}\h\hLEAVING SCHWEICKART TO AN
OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD EXPERIENCE.
890
00:46:06,631 --> 00:46:08,700
{\an7}Schweickart: I JUST SPUN AROUND,
AND I LOOKED AT THE EARTH,
891
00:46:08,733 --> 00:46:12,237
{\an7}\hAND I JUST SAID,
"MY JOB RIGHT NOW
892
00:46:12,270 --> 00:46:16,941
{\an7}IS TO JUST BE A HUMAN BEING,
\h\h\h\h\hJUST BE A PERSON."
893
00:46:16,974 --> 00:46:20,845
{\an7}\h\h\h\hAND I JUST, YOU KNOW,
I STOPPED BEING AN ASTRONAUT.
894
00:46:20,878 --> 00:46:24,782
{\an7}THERE I WAS, A HUMAN BEING
\h\h\h\hIN SPACE, SAYING,
895
00:46:24,815 --> 00:46:27,151
{\an7}ABSORB THIS, YOU KNOW.
\h\hJUST SOAK THIS UP.
896
00:46:27,184 --> 00:46:29,420
{\an7}JUST LET IT ALL COME IN.
897
00:46:29,453 --> 00:46:32,990
{\an7}\h\hTHAT FIVE MINUTES WAS
A VERY, VERY SPECIAL TIME.
898
00:46:33,024 --> 00:46:44,469
{\an7}♪
899
00:46:44,502 --> 00:46:45,903
{\an7}Man: APOLLO 9...
900
00:46:45,936 --> 00:46:49,573
{\an7}\hNarrator: SOON, THE ASTRONAUTS
ARE BACK INSIDE THE SPACECRAFT.
901
00:46:49,607 --> 00:46:52,176
{\an7}\h\h\h\hMISSION CONTROL
CAN BREATHE EASIER NOW.
902
00:46:54,145 --> 00:46:57,348
{\an7}BUT THEIR BIGGEST TEST
\h\h\hIS YET TO COME.
903
00:47:00,851 --> 00:47:06,256
{\an7}\hSCHWEICKART AND McDIVITT MAKE
THEIR WAY INTO THE LUNAR MODULE.
904
00:47:06,290 --> 00:47:10,961
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hSCOTT STAYS
IN THE COMMAND MODULE.
905
00:47:10,995 --> 00:47:12,930
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hTHE PLAN IS
FOR THE TWO SPACECRAFT
906
00:47:12,963 --> 00:47:15,199
{\an7}TO GO THEIR SEPARATE WAYS,
907
00:47:15,232 --> 00:47:18,268
{\an7}A CRITICAL PART
OF THE MISSION.
908
00:47:18,302 --> 00:47:19,537
{\an7}Barry: UP UNTIL THIS POINT,
909
00:47:19,570 --> 00:47:23,107
{\an7}NASA HAD BEEN FLYING MISSIONS
\h\h\h\h\h\hTHAT WERE LARGELY,
910
00:47:23,140 --> 00:47:24,708
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYOU KNOW,
ONE SPACECRAFT AT A TIME.
911
00:47:24,742 --> 00:47:25,943
{\an7}WHEN YOU GET TO APOLLO 9,
912
00:47:25,976 --> 00:47:27,878
{\an7}THEY WERE ACTUALLY HAVING
\h\h\hMULTIPLE SPACECRAFT
913
00:47:27,912 --> 00:47:29,947
{\an7}WITH MULTIPLE CREWS ON BOARD,
914
00:47:29,980 --> 00:47:32,816
{\an7}SO IT’S A REALLY COMPLEX
\h\h\h\hCHANGE OF PACE.
915
00:47:35,052 --> 00:47:37,521
{\an7}Narrator: WITH TWO SPACECRAFT
\h\h\h\h\h\hNOW IN OPERATION,
916
00:47:37,555 --> 00:47:41,392
{\an7}THE TEAM NEEDS NEW CODE NAMES
\h\h\h\h\hTO TELL THEM APART.
917
00:47:41,425 --> 00:47:42,993
{\an7}Barry: YOU’RE TALKING
TO THEM ON THE RADIO.
918
00:47:43,027 --> 00:47:44,695
{\an7}WHICH ONE ARE YOU TALKING TO?
919
00:47:44,729 --> 00:47:45,930
{\an7}SO, THEY HAD TO COME UP
\h\h\h\hWITH CALL SIGNS
920
00:47:45,963 --> 00:47:47,498
{\an7}FOR THE SEPARATE VEHICLES,
\h\h\h\hAND THE CREW SAID,
921
00:47:47,531 --> 00:47:50,801
{\an7}WELL, THE COMMAND MODULE KIND
\hOF LOOKS LIKE A BIG GUMDROP,
922
00:47:50,835 --> 00:47:52,503
{\an7}AND SO WE’RE GONNA
CALL THAT GUMDROP,
923
00:47:52,536 --> 00:47:54,104
{\an7}\h\h\h\hAND THE LUNAR MODULE
LOOKS SORT OF LIKE A SPIDER,
924
00:47:54,138 --> 00:47:55,606
{\an7}SO WHEN THEY WERE
FLYING SEPARATELY,
925
00:47:55,639 --> 00:47:57,774
{\an7}\h\hTHEY WERE CALLED
GUMDROP AND SPIDER.
926
00:47:57,808 --> 00:47:58,942
{\an7}Man: SPIDER AND GUMDROP...
927
00:47:58,976 --> 00:48:02,346
{\an7}\hNarrator: NOW THE CREW
MUST BEGIN THE MANEUVER.
928
00:48:02,380 --> 00:48:04,549
{\an7}THEY SLOWLY UNDOCK.
929
00:48:06,751 --> 00:48:09,120
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hUNTIL NOW,
THE CREW HAD THE SECURITY
930
00:48:09,153 --> 00:48:12,023
{\an7}OF BEING IN A SPACESHIP
\h\hTHEY COULD LAND IN,
931
00:48:12,056 --> 00:48:16,027
{\an7}BUT SPIDER ISN’T DESIGNED
\hTO COME BACK FROM SPACE.
932
00:48:16,060 --> 00:48:18,629
{\an7}Kluger: RUSTY SCHWEICKART
\h\h\h\hAND JIM McDIVITT,
933
00:48:18,662 --> 00:48:22,933
{\an7}THEY WERE THE FIRST HUMAN BEINGS
INSIDE A SPACECRAFT
934
00:48:22,967 --> 00:48:26,871
{\an7}THAT WAS UNEQUIPPED
TO BRING THEM HOME.
935
00:48:26,904 --> 00:48:30,574
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hTHE LUNAR MODULE,
THAT WAS JUST FOIL ORIGAMI.
936
00:48:30,608 --> 00:48:33,878
{\an7}\h\hTHERE WAS NO POSSIBILITY OF
ENTERING THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE
937
00:48:33,911 --> 00:48:35,880
{\an7}IN THAT SPACECRAFT.
938
00:48:35,913 --> 00:48:37,014
{\an7}Man: OH, VERY GOOD.
939
00:48:37,047 --> 00:48:39,416
{\an7}HEY, IT’S A TREMENDOUS
\h\h\hPICTURE, SPIDER.
940
00:48:39,450 --> 00:48:40,618
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNarrator:
McDIVITT AND SCHWEICKART
941
00:48:40,651 --> 00:48:42,786
{\an7}START A BROADCAST
\h\hDOWN TO EARTH
942
00:48:42,820 --> 00:48:46,957
{\an7}\h\h\h\hAS THEY FLY SPIDER
MORE THAN 100 MILES AWAY.
943
00:48:46,991 --> 00:48:50,061
{\an7}Man: GOING DOWN THE CHECKLIST
\h\h\h\h\h\hLIKE A GOOD PILOT.
944
00:48:50,094 --> 00:48:51,662
{\an7}Man: GREAT.
945
00:48:51,695 --> 00:48:55,065
{\an7}Narrator: SCOTT SITS PATIENTLY
\h\h\h\hIN THE COMMAND MODULE,
946
00:48:55,099 --> 00:48:58,970
{\an7}\h\hWAITING FOR SPIDER
TO RETURN AND RE-DOCK.
947
00:48:59,003 --> 00:49:00,571
{\an7}Kluger: THEY BOTH KNEW,
948
00:49:00,604 --> 00:49:05,075
{\an7}\hIF WE CANNOT RENDEZVOUS
AND DOCK WITH DAVE AGAIN,
949
00:49:05,109 --> 00:49:08,446
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWE WILL DIE,
DAVE WILL COME HOME ALONE.
950
00:49:08,479 --> 00:49:12,883
{\an7}FOR THAT SPACECRAFT TO COME BACK
WITH JUST ONE PERSON INSIDE
951
00:49:12,917 --> 00:49:17,822
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hWOULD HAVE BEEN
A WRENCHING NATIONAL TRAUMA.
952
00:49:17,855 --> 00:49:19,290
{\an7}Man: SPIDER, GUMDROP,
\h\h\h\h\hI CAN SEE...
953
00:49:19,323 --> 00:49:21,325
{\an7}\h\hNarrator: A BURST
FROM ITS ASCENT ENGINE
954
00:49:21,358 --> 00:49:23,327
{\an7}BRINGS SPIDER CLOSE TO TARGET.
955
00:49:25,362 --> 00:49:28,866
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hTHE RE-DOCKING GOES
EVEN MORE SMOOTHLY THAN PLANNED.
956
00:49:28,899 --> 00:49:30,134
{\an7}Man: ...RIGHT SIDE UP
\h\hON THE BELLY BAND,
957
00:49:30,167 --> 00:49:32,002
{\an7}THEN WE GET BACK TO MAYBE
ABOUT THE RIGHT ATTITUDE,
958
00:49:32,036 --> 00:49:33,271
{\an7}AT LEAST IN PLANE.
959
00:49:33,304 --> 00:49:37,341
{\an7}\hNarrator: A BUZZER INDICATES
THAT THE DOCKING IS COMPLETE.
960
00:49:37,374 --> 00:49:39,877
{\an7}Man: GOOD WORK.
961
00:49:39,910 --> 00:49:44,181
{\an7}\h\hNarrator: THE CREW STAYS
IN ORBIT FOR FIVE MORE DAYS
962
00:49:44,215 --> 00:49:48,920
{\an7}AND THEN SPLASHES DOWN
IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.
963
00:49:48,953 --> 00:49:50,121
{\an7}[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
964
00:49:50,154 --> 00:49:52,957
{\an7}\hAFTER APOLLO 9,
NASA IS CONFIDENT
965
00:49:52,990 --> 00:49:55,659
{\an7}THAT THE LUNAR MODULE’S
\h\hTOUGH DESIGN PROCESS
966
00:49:55,693 --> 00:49:57,895
{\an7}HAS FINALLY PAID OFF.
967
00:49:57,928 --> 00:50:00,831
{\an7}Chaikin: IT WOULD NOT
HAVE SURPRISED ANYBODY
968
00:50:00,865 --> 00:50:03,134
{\an7}IF THEY’D COME BACK
\h\h\hFROM APOLLO 9
969
00:50:03,167 --> 00:50:05,002
{\an7}AND THEY’D SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT?
970
00:50:05,035 --> 00:50:07,638
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWE GOT TO DO
ANOTHER EARTH ORBIT MISSION,
971
00:50:07,671 --> 00:50:10,107
{\an7}\h\hUH, BEFORE WE CAN
GO BACK TO THE MOON."
972
00:50:10,140 --> 00:50:12,175
{\an7}BUT APOLLO 9 WENT PERFECTLY.
973
00:50:14,845 --> 00:50:17,181
{\an7}Narrator: THAT’S THREE
\hPERFECT TEST FLIGHTS
974
00:50:17,214 --> 00:50:19,750
{\an7}IN JUST UNDER FIVE MONTHS.
975
00:50:19,783 --> 00:50:23,320
{\an7}Kluger: THE EXTRAORDINARY THING
ABOUT THE APOLLO MISSIONS
976
00:50:23,354 --> 00:50:28,860
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hWAS THAT THEY CAME
IN SUCH GATLING GUN SEQUENCE.
977
00:50:28,893 --> 00:50:32,697
{\an7}\h\h\hTHEY WERE BASICALLY,
ACHIEVE ONE AMAZING THING,
978
00:50:32,730 --> 00:50:36,801
{\an7}COME HOME, SHOWER UP,
\h\h\h\hHIT THE BOOKS,
979
00:50:36,834 --> 00:50:40,604
{\an7}SEND THE NEXT THREE GUYS UP,
\h\h\h\h\h\hAND DO IT AGAIN.
980
00:50:40,638 --> 00:50:44,275
{\an7}Narrator: A DEEP SPACE CAPSULE,
A POWERFUL ROCKET,
981
00:50:44,308 --> 00:50:47,311
{\an7}AND NOW THE LUNAR LANDER.
982
00:50:47,344 --> 00:50:48,445
{\an7}Chaikin: NASA WAS IN A POSITION
983
00:50:48,479 --> 00:50:50,648
{\an7}\h\h\hWHERE THEY COULD
BUILD ON THAT SUCCESS
984
00:50:50,681 --> 00:50:53,751
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAND CARRY OUT
AN EVEN MORE AMBITIOUS MISSION--
985
00:50:53,784 --> 00:50:55,152
