00:19You
00:19You leave shortly for the moon a journey of two hundred and forty thousand miles now
00:24It's successful. You will be the first man to walk on the surface of another heavenly body
00:29What exactly do you hope to discover?
00:32I think
00:32Even more important than the answers that we'll be able to find will be the fact that we got a
00:37whole bunch of new questions to ask
00:44Neil a Neil Marvin miles Los Angeles Times the descent onto the lunar surface appears to be very challenging
00:51How far will you burn down and how low could you stage an abort if necessary?
00:59We have made some significant improvements in the flight control system in recent months
01:03The power of descent will be handled by the computer to a large degree
01:09Colonel Aldrin, after you land on the moon, what do you anticipate from those first moments?
01:14Any expectations, hopes, anxieties?
01:18Well, uh, immediately upon touchdown, our concern is the integrity of the lunar module
01:24Without that integrity, we cannot safely continue with the lunar surface work
01:29We cannot retract...
01:29Are those the astronauts?
01:31You are humble men and...
01:33Why are they in a box?
01:34So as not to catch any germs
01:35...encapitulate something, uh, deeply human
01:38You're going to sit down or just stand there hovering
01:40And they desire to explore to, uh, push boundaries
01:42Without exploration, without asking questions
01:45Are we not desperate for a sort of, uh, stasis as a species?
01:50The American State Department asked if I wanted to send a message
01:53Not sure...
01:54What kind of message?
01:55For the astronauts to leave on the moon
01:57But I probably...
01:57They approached a handful of individuals from around the globe
02:00A cross-section of human civilization
02:02To provide a message of a shared and common humanity
02:06What did you say?
02:08On behalf of the British people, I salute the skill and courage
02:11That have brought man to the moon
02:13May this endeavor increase the knowledge and well-being of mankind
02:19Well, I feel very best
02:24How will it be, um, communicated?
02:27On a disc, apparently
02:29What kind of disc?
02:30A silicon disc
02:31They sent a picture
02:32A tiny disc
02:33With tiny, microscopic inscriptions in golden lettering
02:37From planet Earth, July 1969
02:40Which they intend to leave in a little white pouch
02:42With an olive branch
02:44An olive branch?
02:45Means for the little green men to wait a bite
02:54I'm going to bed
02:55I've been, uh...
02:57Conducted in any kind of, uh...
02:58Undue haste
02:59Owned church tomorrow is at nine
03:01Not ten
03:02Of course there was a good deal of concern
03:04In our own minds
03:05And many other people in the organization
03:07That all these things
03:08Over the descent
03:09And surface
03:10Would fall into place
03:11In time
03:12At this point in time
03:24So...
03:29To be continued...
03:30And, of course
04:44Honestly.
04:45Church?
04:46Hmm.
04:47There's a chance to take stock, reflect on the past week, think ahead to the next.
04:52And get a diary for that.
04:54And to think of life's bigger questions.
04:57Except one doesn't.
04:58One mainly thinks about what a lot of dreary nonsense the dean is talking about.
05:02Why doesn't he shut up?
05:03He's been with us for nearly 20 years.
05:05That might make him loyal.
05:06It does not make him interested.
05:08Hello there.
05:08Good morning, Mr.
05:09They have mouths, but they speak not.
05:13Eyes have they, but they see not.
05:16They have ears, but they hear not.
05:19Uh, noses have they, but they, uh, uh, um.
05:30See?
05:31Sure.
05:33It's not a sermon.
05:34It's a general anaesthetic.
05:36Ah, but they smell not.
05:39They that make them are alike unto them.
05:42So is everyone that trusteth.
05:44That's it.
05:45That's the last time.
05:46And so the Lord teaches.
05:48Now, on Sunday, while you lot are in here, I'm going to spend this hour doing something useful.
05:53But unto his name give glory, nor to false idols either.
06:06Ah.
06:09Michael?
06:10Ma'am?
06:11Goodbye.
06:15Is it possible, do you think, the Dean might have reached, how can I put this kindly, the moment of
06:22his own obsolescence?
06:24I noticed one or two people struggling to stay awake.
06:26We could discreetly start the search for a replacement.
06:30Could be.
06:31Someone with a bit of oomph.
06:33I think so.
06:34Zest.
06:35That's it.
06:35Peck.
06:36Yes, thank you.
06:37Vim.
06:51FFF!
06:56Zest.
07:17And so, here at Cape Kennedy, we are all up to the moon this morning.
07:21Are you watching?
07:24Mighty Saturn V, the big moon express.
07:27All ready to leave Platform 39 here at Cape Kennedy on time in about 30 minutes.
07:34This enormous event, which uniquely unites all the world, because all the world should
07:40be interested in this journey.
07:43And after this journey, we on Earth can never be the same.
08:04Where is she?
08:06Who, sir?
08:07If I say she, and we're in Buckingham Palace, who do you think I mean?
08:16There you are.
08:17I've been looking for you everywhere.
08:18Where have you been?
08:19On the telephone, interviewing candidates to become the new dean.
08:22Anyone good?
08:23Yes, I think we found one.
08:24How old?
08:25Same age as you, I'd say.
08:26Really?
08:27And a good fit.
08:28For what?
08:29For the job I've asked him to do.
08:3512, 11, 10, 9, ignition sequence start, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, liftoff.
08:48We have a liftoff.
08:5032 minutes past the hour.
08:52Liftoff on Apollo 11.
08:57What men?
08:58What courage?
08:59Tower clear.
09:00We've got a roll program.
09:03Neil Armstrong reporting the rolling picture program, which puts Apollo 11.
09:1311 Houston thrushes go.
09:15All engines, you're looking good.
09:17Roger.
09:18You're loud and clear, Houston.
09:23We've got a skirt, Houston.
09:26Roger, we confirm skirt, Houston.
09:29Tower's going.
09:30Roger, tower.
09:32Neil Armstrong confirming both the engine skirt separation and the launch escape tower separation.
09:39Hello, this is Houston.
09:41Slightly less than one minute to ignition and everything is go.
09:45Roger.
10:06Apollo 11 has now completed its translunar injection bird, meaning it is free of Earth's orbit
10:13and traveling at the colossal speed of 24,200 miles an hour towards the moon.
10:20The astronauts have now completed what they call the transposition, docking and extraction
10:24maneuver.
10:25This rather risky procedure is when the command service module, Columbia, detaches from the
10:30rest of the spacecraft, drifts forward a little, flips over, then reattaches to the
10:35lunar module, Eagle.
10:36This new assembly then detaches from the final stage of the Saturn rocket.
10:40As I say, a hair-raising business, but it all seems to have gone off without a hitch.
10:44Tuesday next week, you will be in Cheshire to visit the works of British Salt Limited.
10:49On Wednesday, it's Norfolk to inaugurate a new gas terminal.
10:52Then on Friday, it's Macclesfield for the open day of the Machine Tool Industry Research Association.
10:59That evening, there will be a dinner given by the British Concrete Society, where you have
11:04been asked to present an award.
11:09May I interrupt, Your Royal Highness?
11:12What?
11:12The newly appointed Dean of Windsor, Robin Woods, was wondering if you could spare him a moment.
11:17He has a request.
11:18Fine, just put something in the book.
11:21Another highlight to look forward to, along with the award show for the British Concrete Society.
11:26Is that a joke?
11:27Afraid not, sir.
11:28Actually, he's here now.
11:31Hello?
11:38Your Royal Highness.
11:40How can I help?
11:41In the process of moving in, my wife and I, we couldn't help noticing that there were a large number
11:46of buildings
11:47on the estate of Windsor that appear to be empty and unused.
11:50I mean, specifically, the old Cannons Cloisters, one or two of the buildings on Denton's Commons,
11:57all the houses on the north walls, the old residences of the minor Cannons.
12:01I realise this is quite forward of me, but I was wondering if I could make a request to use
12:07one of them.
12:08What?
12:09You don't like the home we've given you?
12:11No.
12:13This wouldn't be as a home.
12:16For a long time now, I've had a dream, an ambition, to start an academy or conservatoire.
12:23What for?
12:24Personal and spiritual growth.
12:28Something that has struck me from my own experience, but also from observing it in, well, in others,
12:35is that you get to a certain age and you hit a ceiling.
12:39A crisis, if you will.
12:41You'll lose perspective.
12:43Get into a slump.
12:45It's quite common among businessmen and executives, and it's no different for clergymen.
12:51We see a particularly high level of dissatisfaction among mid-career clergymen,
12:56and I thought one of these buildings in its idyllic setting would be a great place for priests to come
13:02and recharge, reflect, raise their game.
13:08By doing what?
13:11Talking, reading, thinking.
13:15May I suggest that your concept is flawed?
13:18You don't raise your game by talking or thinking.
13:21You raise your game through action.
13:24Like this.
13:26And this is how you get out of a slump.
13:28But if one of those buildings is free and you want to fill it with hot air and thought, then
13:33be my guest.
13:35Thank you, sir.
13:46We don't have to wait long now.
13:48Seventeen minutes and counting.
13:51The landing craft has separated from the command module and has begun its descent to the surface of the moon.
13:56Armstrong and Aldrin will now send the lunar module into a sort of pirouette.
14:00To allow Colin to...
14:01Major, will you read the children?
14:03Yes, sir.
14:03He will confirm, we hope...
14:05And tell the Queen.
14:06Yes, thank you.
14:10Andrew, darling.
14:11It's time.
14:12Edward.
14:15Edward.
14:16Time to wake up.
14:19Come on.
14:20Dressing gown.
14:22Come on, Edward.
14:23Hurry up.
14:25Hold on.
14:25Let's go.
14:26Come on.
14:28It's a very exciting evening, isn't it?
14:30It certainly is.
14:31Are you able to join us for a drink, Andrew?
14:33That would be very nice.
14:34Thank you, ma'am.
14:35Of course.
14:35Talk.
14:36Michael Collins left alone in the orbiter now.
14:39Meaning, when it passes behind the moon, he'll be entirely cut off from the rest of humanity.
14:43The loneliest man in the universe.
14:46Our prayers and the whole world...
14:48Come on, go on, have a good day.
14:50Pioneer in the heavens.
14:52Come on, space, I've got...
14:53Come on.
14:53A couple of...
14:54Why?
14:55Up the surface of the moon now.
14:59They're land in sight.
15:00Chosen for its smoothness, but not entirely.
15:03Dude, take her in, I mean.
15:04Slightest impacted rock or crater could disable the lunar module, leaving them stranded from the moon forever.
15:14I'm getting a little fluctuation in the, uh, AC voltage now.
15:18Oh, they're in.
15:19Oh, yes.
15:20They're about to be in.
15:21John, hurry up.
15:21They're going to be in sight.
15:22Yes.
15:23What are they saying?
15:25He's gone to manual control.
15:27Something's wrong.
15:28Doesn't look real, I know.
15:30Which is a sink.
15:3110 and 50 feet down at four.
15:33They're on the level if they can't land.
15:36They're on the line.
15:38They're running out of fuel.
15:39Dangerous people.
15:40Quiet, please.
15:41Just shh.
15:42Shhh.
15:43Please.
15:43Making up some dust.
15:45Hey.
16:08Man on the moon.
16:11Man has landed on the moon.
16:14Oh, my God.
16:16Oh, my God.
16:18Oh, my God.
16:18Oh, my God.
16:18Oh, my God.
16:18Did you see?
16:19Did you see?
16:20As we watch these images tonight, we are united across the world in a uniformed space of wonder.
16:28Never before has the entire planet...
16:31No, we don't have that in my pocket.
16:33It's actually a market for the probability.
16:36To each of us...
16:36Meteor.
16:38To each of us...
16:39This is historic.
16:42The son of us...
16:44This is even divine.
16:45Can you believe they're on the moon?
16:46And yet, all of us, regardless of race, sex, or religious belief, we are united right now in
16:54this singular human achievement.
16:58Okay, Neil, we can see you coming down the ladder now.
17:01I'm, uh, at the foot of the ladder.
17:04The lamb footbeds are only, uh, depressed in the surface about, uh, one or two inches.
17:11Although the surface appears to be very, very fine-grained as you get close to it.
17:17It's almost like a powder.
17:20Groundman, uh, is very fine.
17:24And, uh, step off the lamb now.
17:29That's one small step for man.
17:34One giant leap for mankind.
17:40And there's a stark beauty all its own.
17:43It's, uh, like much of the high desert of, uh, the United States.
17:47It's, uh, different, but it's very pretty on here.
17:51This is a powerful reminder of our capacity for greatness as a species.
17:57Not simply the engineering triumph represented here today, but the triumph of human ambition.
18:03The desire to reach quite literally for the stars.
18:08And I think this new perspective, seeing the Earth from space, in all our unity and cohesion,
18:15is likely to inspire an unprecedented shift in our thinking.
18:19Beautiful view.
18:21Isn't that something?
18:23Magnificent flight out here.
18:25Magnificent desolation.
18:37Magnificent sea circles.
18:43Mr. Governor, ladies and gentlemen, the SEEMED members of the World Textiles delegation.
18:51I very much appreciate the honour that you have bestowed on me by your invitation to the mill of Thomas
18:57Burnley and the son of Kiev, in Yorkshire.
19:01The groundbreaking work you are doing here is by the Burnley.
19:10There comes a time, a moment in everyone's experience, where dentures and other oral prosthetics become an indispensable fact of
19:21life.
19:23According to last year's Adult Dental Health Survey, 37%...
19:41...we're looking into 178, but even 3-0, no conflicting traffic.
20:13Knee-eye.
20:16You have control?
20:17I have control.
20:22What are you doing, sir?
20:25This isn't on the flight, Charles.
20:27There's no other traffic.
20:37Sir?
20:41Sir, the service ceiling for this aircraft is 45,000 feet.
20:45You and I both don't say to climb away beyond that.
20:47Sir, you...
21:28God, isn't it beautiful?
21:31I'm sure.
21:32But we're currently at the very limit of what this aircraft can do.
21:35Perhaps.
21:36But look.
21:37We've also lived.
21:40Just for a minute.
22:03The first men on the moon lifted off on the first stage of their journey home an hour and six
22:07minutes ago.
22:08A new chapter in human history has opened.
22:12The race for the moon is over.
22:13For the people of this planet, what is the meaning of this stupendous venture?
22:45We shall not cease from exploring.
22:49And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the
22:57first time.
22:59Those words, by T.S. Eliot, have never run more true.
23:03We stand at the dawn of a new age of space exploration.
23:07The promise of space has never fell away.
23:10The promise of space has never fallen all a long way.
23:11I don't know.
23:425, 6, 7...
23:45Morning, sir. Morning, sir.
23:56Your Royal Highness.
23:57Oh, Christ.
24:04Morning.
24:04I wonder whether you might have a moment, sir, to meet the new arrivals.
24:08Ah, your concentration camp for spiritual defectives.
24:12I prefer centre of recovery and renewal.
24:14I'm sure you do.
24:16We have an interesting group of all ages from around the United Kingdom.
24:20Will you join?
24:20Join what?
24:22It's an academy for blocked, mid-level priests.
24:25Correct.
24:26Well, in case you hadn't noticed, I'm not a priest.
24:28Just to say hello.
24:30What, now?
24:31Why not?
24:34Fine. Get in.
24:36Do I need to show symptoms of despair?
24:39Should I sigh and moan dramatically?
24:42No one does like to fit in.
25:04I've brought our landlord,
25:06His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh, to say hello.
25:11How do you do, Your Royal Highness?
25:13Morning.
25:14Your Royal Highness.
25:15Morning.
25:15Morning, sir.
25:16Morning.
25:17Good morning.
25:18Your Royal Highness.
25:19So,
25:21what have you all been up to?
25:23Apart from making quite a mess of our house, I see.
25:26We started by identifying why each of us had chosen to come here
25:31and stating what we were hoping to achieve.
25:33Perhaps we should recap for His Royal Highness.
25:39Michael.
25:40Oh.
25:42Well, I'm here because,
25:45having recently reached a particular age...
25:49I won't ask.
25:51I decided to give myself a score.
25:54And I felt I only merited a fail.
25:59D minus.
26:00Oh, dear.
26:01And why was that?
26:03Well,
26:04when entering the church,
26:06I allowed myself to dream that advancing age would bring new revelations.
26:14Insight.
26:15A deepening of my faith.
26:18A growing flock.
26:20But instead, I find myself in a small rural parish.
26:24With a dwindling congregation and lowering attendance.
26:28Right.
26:30And this has left you with a sense of disappointment,
26:34of underachievement, and directionlessness.
26:36Oh, yes.
26:38That sense of directionlessness and redundancy is...
26:42Well, it's something that chimed with one or two others here.
26:45Because of how the public has turned away from us.
26:48Turned away from the church.
26:50It's clear we are failing to connect with people.
26:54More and more people are finding their spiritual needs being met...
26:58Elsewhere.
27:00Where, for example?
27:09The moon.
27:11I...
27:12The moon.
27:13Yes, sir.
27:16Five hundred million people watch the lunar landing.
27:19Five hundred million people getting from televisions.
27:22What they used to get from the church.
27:24A sense of coming together.
27:26A sense of community.
27:27Of awe.
27:27Wonder.
27:28Well, that was part of a wider shift, too, we agreed.
27:31From religion to science.
27:32The greater the achievements in science, the more mysteries are explained.
27:37The more questions are answered.
27:39The less need there is for a god to provide answers.
27:45I'm reminded of Keats.
27:48What is there in thee, moon, that thou shouldst move my heart so potently?
27:56Now we know what the moon is.
28:00Nothing.
28:00Nothing.
28:01Just dust.
28:04Silence.
28:06A monochromatic void.
28:08We see no god behind those rocks and space dust.
28:13Simply an unknowable vastness.
28:17When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars that thou hast ordained,
28:29What is man that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that thou visitest him?
28:45Any thoughts, sir?
28:48Any thoughts?
28:52Me.
29:01I'll tell you what I think, I've never heard such a lit of pretentious self-piteous nonsense.
29:08What you lot need to do is to get off your backsides, get out into the world and bloody
29:12well do something.
29:13That is why you're all so, so lost.
29:19I believe that there is an imperative within man, all men, to make a mark.
29:25Action is what defines us, action, not suffering.
29:29All this sitting around, thinking and talking.
29:33Let me ask you this, do you think those astronauts up there are catatonic like you lot?
29:39Of course not.
29:40They are too busy achieving something spectacular and as a result they are at one with the world.
29:46The one with their god and happy.
29:53That's my advice.
29:55Model yourselves on men of action like Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins.
30:00I mean these men score A triple plus.
30:04They've got the answers.
30:05Not a bunch of navel-gazing underachievers infecting one another with gaseous doom.
30:14If you do opt for action, you can start by cleaning up this bloody floor.
30:27Oh, not again.
30:28Around the same time we were asked by the American State Department.
30:31It's the second time this week.
30:32If we'd send that message to the moon on the silicon disk.
30:34You were also asked another question.
30:36On how many occasions is the British royal family forced to eat venison each year?
30:40No.
30:41Honestly, I think if I eat any more of this stuff, I'm going to start growing antlers.
30:46Are you listening?
30:47Yes.
30:48I'm all ears.
30:49Little brown furry ones.
30:51Well provided they make it back to earth in one piece, and if after all their tests they're
30:55still standing, would we like an audience with the astronauts?
31:02What?
31:03Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins?
31:06Here at the palace?
31:07Yes.
31:08They're being sent around the world on a victory tour.
31:11Shall I go back with a yes?
31:14My God.
31:15Yes please.
31:18I thought that would cheer you up.
31:20It does.
31:23Do I need cheering up?
31:28A little.
31:35They're scheduled to arrive at Heathrow Airport at 2pm.
31:38From there they will be taken directly to the American Embassy, Groban Square, for a meeting
31:41with the U.S. Ambassador.
31:43From there they will come to Buckingham Palace for an audience with Her Majesty's The Queen.
31:46Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Margaret,
31:50Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
31:53And what time will that be?
31:54Around four o'clock ma'am.
31:56Will we give them anything?
31:57Tea?
31:57Probably not.
31:58We thought it good to keep things moving, no sitting down.
32:01I quite agree.
32:02They're more than half an hour from arrival to departure.
32:06Great.
32:11I'd like to make a request, if I may.
32:15Sir.
32:16Sir.
32:17Instead of being herded in with everyone else, I was wondering if I might be allowed some
32:20time with the astronauts alone.
32:24In a separate, private meeting, airman to airman, pilot to pilots.
32:32I'll speak to the ambassador, but I'm sure it would be possible our end.
32:39Would fifteen minutes be enough?
32:41Fifteen minutes?
32:43They are on a very tight schedule, I believe.
32:46To discuss mankind's greatest achievement.
32:52No.
32:54It's nowhere near enough.
32:59I can see it's all I'm going to get.
33:02No.
33:15No.
33:28No.
33:29No.
33:30No.
33:36No.
33:42No.
33:47No.
33:48No.
33:58No.
34:03No.
34:11No.
34:32No.
34:32No.
34:33No.
34:33No.
34:47No.
34:49No.
34:52No.
35:05No.
35:12No.
35:14No.
35:15No.
35:16No.
35:29No.
35:30No.
35:32No.
35:33No.
35:35No.
35:36No.
35:36No.
35:36No.
35:36No.
35:37No.
35:38No.
35:38No.
35:38No.
35:44No.
35:45Great pleasure to meet you
35:53Great pleasure to meet you
35:58Sir
36:31Please don't tell me you want to talk about children
36:45Oh
36:53They've been waiting long only a few moments, sir
37:05Mr. Neil Armstrong colonel Michael Collins and colonel Edwin Aldrin you're all honest. It is a great
37:15Sir great on a gentleman
37:17Congratulations one and all
37:20Please do earth to sit down
37:31There's no need to sit so closely this as you can see there's plenty of space
37:37I noticed you instinctively sat in the same positions as the command module
37:44Anyway, I don't I didn't know if anyone told you but I am actually a pilot myself as you all
37:51right?
37:51Yes, sir. Just a cold
37:56You I
37:57It's clean. I promise you
37:59Thank you
38:02Well you've uh
38:04You've you've all got coats
38:06Yes, we do
38:11Well
38:13Here we are
38:18I just want to say how much I admire what you've done. It's just remarkable
38:24Um
38:25But also to say how much I identify in some way with with who you are
38:30Bless you
38:31Sorry
38:33I am
38:36I wrote down some questions
38:40See I initially imagined that I wanted to ask questions of you on a technical level
38:46You know what is the physical experience of G forces of that magnitude and so on but
38:57You see I
38:58I realize now
39:00That
39:03The questions I actually want answering
39:06Are
39:11You're all too young to understand I think but
39:17There comes a time in life when one first really starts to evaluate
39:23What one has accomplished
39:26And
39:26Because of the position that I've ended up in here
39:31Who I've become
39:33Um
39:35Who I'm married to
39:38Um
39:40I've
39:42While I've not been able to achieve the things I would have liked to
39:47As a man
39:48As a
39:50As an adventurer
39:53And watching
39:54You three heroes at work
39:57It
39:59It was like watching a dream
40:02Which is
40:03Why I
40:04I leapt at the chance to meet with you
40:07Even if it is just for
40:08For ten minutes
40:09That I might ask
40:19What your thoughts were
40:23Out there
40:27Neil
40:30Well
40:32Obviously
40:33Uh
40:33A sense of relief that we executed the mission successfully
40:36Of course
40:36And we certainly got some amazing views
40:39Didn't we?
40:41Yes
40:41We did
40:41Extraordinary
40:42I think I'm not talking so much about
40:45The views in that sense
40:47As
40:50Perspectives
40:52Observations
40:53Of
40:54Of
40:55Of
40:55Of
40:55Of
40:55Our
40:55Police
40:58Uh
41:01To be honest
41:02There wasn't much time for that
41:04Um
41:06As a pilot
41:07You'll know what they
41:08Drill into you above all else
41:10Is protocol
41:11Uh
41:12Procedure
41:13You gotta stick to the rules
41:15Yes
41:16Well as an astronaut
41:17It's double that
41:19Mm-hmm
41:19We've pretty much spent our entire time
41:22With lists in our hands
41:23Ticking things off
41:24Mm-hmm
41:25Tick check
41:25Tick check
41:26Isaac glued to the mission protocol
41:28To such a degree
41:29You never really get to look outside
41:30That's how busy they keep you
41:32Busy
41:32Tight leash
41:33Not to mention most of the time
41:35You're so darn tired
41:36Mm-hmm
41:36No matter how hard you practice
41:37You never get used to the sleep
41:40Sleep
41:42Neil
41:43Uh
41:43Let me tell his royal highness
41:45About what happened after the moonwalk
41:47I would love to hear
41:51He wants to hear it
41:52Yeah
41:54Well
41:55After I completed the moonwalk
41:57I watched it all
41:58Every step
42:00I got back into the module
42:03And
42:03Knew
42:04We only had a few hours to get some rest
42:07Before we took off again
42:08So
42:08I
42:09I got my head down
42:11I closed my eyes
42:12Wait for it
42:13But
42:14All I could hear was this noise
42:16Bang
42:16Bang
42:17Bang
42:18What?
42:19Bang
42:19Bang
42:20What?
42:21From outside the module?
42:22I know
42:23You know what it was?
42:24What?
42:26The water cooler
42:28It was making this noise
42:30Bang bang bang
42:35The greatest engineers in the world
42:37Is an a rocket that takes us to the moon
42:38But they can't even get us a decent water cooler
42:42So you're right
42:43It was full of surprises
42:47I see
42:54Were there any other questions you had for us?
43:07There
43:10Well, in that case, would you mind if we asked you a few questions?
43:15No, of course
43:17What is it like?
43:20What is what like?
43:21Living in a place like this
43:23Because we heard you had a thousand rooms
43:25And that if you had the lengths of all the corridors together it comes to four miles
43:30Well
43:31Oh, is it true you have a bagpiper for an alarm clock?
43:34And how many staff do you have here anyway?
43:35And how many palaces?
43:37We heard
43:38Twelve
43:38Twelve
43:39And do you know all these people in the pictures?
43:41Are they related to those?
43:43Oh, to the dots?
43:52That's mine
43:53Of course
43:53Thank you
43:54I'm reaching for the top
43:55Mom!
43:57Mom!
43:59Mom!
44:00Mom!
44:01Yes!
44:02That's a close call
44:05Ready?
44:06One, two, three
44:07Cheese
44:15I don't know what I was thinking
44:17I expected them to be giants, gods
44:22In reality they were just three little men
44:25Pale-faced with cults
44:28I have some sympathy
44:30The very qualities that made them perfect for the job
44:33But their lack of flair or imagination
44:36Their sense of duty and modesty and reliability
44:39Total absence of originality or spontaneity
44:43But that's what makes them perfect in a crisis
44:45And entirely anticlimactic when you meet them in person
44:51Can you imagine?
44:53If they go all that way to the moon and stay healthy but one trip to London then he kills
44:58them
44:58What?
45:01It's not their fault
45:03They never wanted to be public figures
45:05And now because of one event they will be forever
45:08Hmm
45:09They delivered as astronauts but
45:13They disappointed as human beings
45:18They'll spend the rest of their lives in goldfish bowls
45:22Scared to open their mouths
45:24Knowing it could reveal who they actually are and that they will inevitably disappoint
45:30And for that they deserve our pity
45:34Good job there were no little green men
45:38They could be forgiven for thinking if that's all planet Earth has got to offer
45:42Let's give the place a miss
45:44Mm-hmm
45:46Mm-hmm
46:15Mm-hmm
46:16Mm-hmm
46:18Mm-hmm
46:18Yes
46:18Yes
46:22Yes
46:23Yes
46:24Michelle
46:24No
46:24Yes
46:25Yes
46:33Yes
46:34Yes
46:57There wasn't a specific moment when it started.
47:01It's been more of a gradual thing.
47:04A drip, drip, drip of doubt, disaffection, disease, discomfort.
47:17People around me have noticed my general irritability.
47:24Now, of course, that's nothing new.
47:28I'm generally a cantankerous sort.
47:31But even I would have to admit that there has been more of it lately.
47:36Not to mention an almost jealous fascination with the achievements of these young astronauts.
47:46Compulsive over-exercising.
47:48An inability to find calm or satisfaction or fulfillment.
48:00And when you look at all these symptoms, of course, it doesn't take a genius to tell you that they
48:07all suggest I'm slap bang in the middle of a...
48:19I can't even say what kind of crisis.
48:24That, that, crisis.
48:29And, of course, one's read or heard about other people hitting that crisis.
48:33And, you know, just like them, you look in all the usual places, resort to all the usual things to
48:38try and make yourself feel better.
48:44Some of which I can admit to in this room, and some of which I probably shouldn't.
48:56My mother died recently.
49:11She, she saw that something was amiss.
49:21She saw that something was missing in her youngest child.
49:27Her only son.
49:32Faith.
49:33Faith.
49:38How's your faith?
49:39She asked me.
49:47I'm here to admit to you that I've lost it.
49:56And without it, what is there?
50:04The, the loneliness and emptiness and anticlimax of going all that way to the moon to find nothing but haunting
50:18desolation.
50:21Ghostly silence.
50:24Gloom.
50:26That is what faithlessness is.
50:31And as opposed to finding, you know, wonder, ecstasy, the, the miracle of divine creation, God's design and purpose.
50:45What am I trying to say?
50:49I'm trying to say that the solution to our problems, I think, is not in the, in the ingenuity of
51:00the rocket, or the science, or the technology, or even the bravery.
51:09No, the answer is in here.
51:15Or here, or wherever it is that faith resides.
51:23And so, Dean Woods, having ridiculed you for what you and these poor, blocked, lost souls were, were trying to
51:41achieve here in St. George's house, I now find myself full of respect.
51:48And admiration.
51:52And not a small part of desperation.
51:57And not a small part of desperation.
52:00As I come to say,
52:05Help.
52:12Help me.
52:14Help me.
52:14Help me.
52:15Help me.
52:23Help me.
52:23And to admit,
52:26While those three astronauts deserve all our praise and respect for their undoubted heroism, I was more scared coming here
52:33to see you today than I would have been going up in any bloody rocket.
52:36To be continued...
52:37Oh.
52:37Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
53:16Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
53:37Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
54:23Ha, ha, ha, ha.
54:41Ha, ha, ha, ha.
55:07Ha, ha, ha, ha.
55:39Ha, ha, ha.
56:25Ha, ha, ha.
56:28Ha, ha, ha.
56:28Ha, ha, ha.
56:28Ha, ha, ha.
