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
03:13And places
03:15That you can do
03:16And that you can do
03:41To the other people in the room
03:43And then your friends
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.
07:19We're all up to the moon this morning.
07:22Are you watching?
07:23Thank you!
07:27We're all ready to leave Platform 39 here at Cape Kennedy on time in about 30 minutes.
07:35Thanks.
07:35event which uniquely unites all the world because all the world should be interested
07:41in this journey and after this journey we on earth can never be the same
08:04where is she who sir if i say she and we're in buckingham palace who do you think i mean
08:16there you are i've been looking for you everywhere where have you been on the telephone interviewing
08:20candidates to become the new dean anyone good yes i think we found one how old same age as you
08:26i'd
08:26say and a good fit for what for the job i've asked him to do
08:3412 11 10 9 ignition sequence start six five four three two one
08:47liftoff we have a liftoff 32 minutes past the hour
08:52look back on Apollo 11 what men what kind
09:1311 houston thrushes go all engines you're looking good
09:17uh roger you're loud and clear
09:23we got skirt sim
09:26roger we confirm skirt sim
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 uh slightly less than one minute to ignition and everything is cool
09:46right now
10:06Apollo 11 has now completed its trans lunar 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 the astronauts have now
10:21completed what they call the transposition docking and extraction maneuver this rather risky procedure
10:27is when the command service module columbia detaches from the rest of the spacecraft drifts forward a
10:32little flips over then reattaches to the lunar module eagle this new assembly then detaches from the final
10:39stage of the saturn rocket as i say a hair raising business but it all seems to have gone off
10:43without
10:43a hitch tuesday next week you will be in cheshire to visit the works of british salt limited on wednesday
10:49it's norfolk to inaugurate a new gas terminal then on friday it's macclesfield for the open day of the machine
10:57tool
10:57industry research association that evening there will be a dinner given by the british concrete society
11:03where you have been asked to present an award
11:09may i interrupt your royal highness what the newly appointed dean of windsor robin words was wondering
11:16if you could spare him a moment he has a request fine just uh 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 afraid not sir well actually he's here now hello
11:38your royal highness how can i help in the process of moving in my wife and i we couldn't help
11:45noticing
11:45that there were a large number of buildings on the estate of windsor that appear to be empty and
11:49unused and specifically the old canons 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 canons i realize this is quite
12:04forward of me but i was wondering if i could make a request to use one of them
12:08what you don't like the home we've given you no this wouldn't be as a home for a long time
12:16now i've
12:17had a dream an ambition to start an academy or conservatoire what for personal and spiritual growth
12:28something that has struck me from my own experience but also from observing it in
12:33what in others is that you get to a certain age and you hit a ceiling a crisis if you
12:40will you you'll
12:42lose perspective get into a slump it's quite common among businessmen and executives and it's no
12:49different for clergymen we see a particularly high level of dissatisfaction among mid-career clergymen and
12:56i thought one of these buildings in its idyllic setting would be a great place for priests to come and
13:02recharge reflect raise their game by doing what talking reading thinking may i suggest that your
13:16concept is flawed you don't raise your game by talking or thinking you raise your game through
13:23action now like this and this is how you get out of a slump but if if one of those
13:29buildings is free
13:30and you want to fill it with hot air and thought then be my guest thank you sir
13:46we don't have to wait long now 17 minutes and counting the landing craft has separated from the
13:52command module and has begun its descent to the surface of the moon armstrong and aldrin will now send the
13:58lunar module into a sort of pirouette to allow colin measure will you read the children yes and tell the
14:06queen sir hundred darling it's time edward edward time to wake up
14:22come on edward hurry up hold on let's go come on it's very exciting isn't it certainly is are you
14:31able to join us for a drink that would be very nice thank you ma'am of course at all
14:35michael collins left
14:37alone in the orbiter now meaning when it passes behind the moon he'll be entirely cut off from the rest
14:42of
14:42humanity of humanity the only is man in the universe our prayers
14:47quick quick quick
14:48come on
14:56the moon now
14:58they're now in sight chosen for its smoothness but not entirely
15:02the slightest impact of rock or crater could disable the lunar module
15:08drink sir
15:09leaving them stranded can you see
15:10from the moon
15:10Robert's back
15:12Robert's back
15:14I'm getting a little fluctuation in the uh
15:16in the uh boulders now
15:18are you
15:19yes
15:20do you want to hurry up we're going to visit
15:22yes
15:22what are they saying
15:24he's gone to manual control
15:26something's wrong
15:27it doesn't look real
15:29i know
15:30it was a soup
15:3110 and 50 feet down at 4
15:34what will happen if they can't land
15:36what are they saying
15:38they're going to run out of fuel
15:39quiet please just shh
15:42shh
15:43shh
15:43please
15:43making up some dust
15:45hey
16:09man on the moon
16:10man has landed
16:13on the moon
16:14did you see
16:19uh as we
16:20watch these images tonight
16:22we are united across the world
16:25in a
16:26beautiful space of wonder
16:28never before has the entire planet
16:31oh no
16:43this is even divine
16:45can you believe they're on the moon
16:46and yet
16:47all of us
16:48regardless of race
16:50sex or religious belief
16:52we are united right now
16:54in this singular human achievement
16:58okay
16:58we 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
17:06depressed in the surface about uh
17:09one or two inches
17:11although the surface appears to be
17:14very very fine grained as you get close to it
17:17it's almost like a powder
17:20down there
17:21it's uh
17:21it's very fine
17:24and uh step off the land now
17:29that's one small step for man
17:34one giant leap for mankind
17:40it has a stark beauty all its own
17:43it's uh like much as a high desert of the united states
17:47it's uh different but it's very pretty out here
17:51this is a powerful reminder of our capacity for greatness
17:56as a species not simply the engineering triumph represented here today
18:01but the triumph of human ambition
18:03the desire to reach quite literally for the stars
18:09and i think this new perspective
18:11seeing the earth from space
18:13in all our unity and cohesion
18:15is likely to inspire an unprecedented shift in our thinking
18:19is that something
18:23magnificent pride out here
18:26magnificent desolation
18:43is
18:44mr governor ladies and gentlemen the seemed members of the wool textiles delegation
18:51i very much appreciate the honor you have bestowed on me by your invitation
18:56to the meal of thomas bernley and the son of kia in yorkshire
19:01the groundbreaking work you are doing here
19:05my friend
19:06there comes a time
19:13a moment in everyone's experience
19:15where dentures and other oral prosthetics become an indispensable fact of life
19:23according to last year's adult dental health survey
19:27the
19:28of
19:41the
19:42the
19:44Captain 2-0, Mountain 2-0 traffic.
19:47Let's go.
20:17You 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.
20:45It's you and I both, but I can say to climb away beyond that.
20:47Sir, you...
21:04Oh, my God.
21:28God, isn't it beautiful?
21:31I'm sure, but we're currently at the very limit of what this aircraft can do.
21:35Perhaps, but look, we've also lived just 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.
22:11The 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 exploration.
22:49And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the
22:57first time.
22:58Those 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 found more.
23:10The moon is over.
23:12The moon is over.
23:16What?
23:45Good morning, sir.
23:45Morning, sir.
23:56Your Royal Highness.
23:57Oh, Christ.
24:03Morning.
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 center 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.
24:34Get in.
24:35Hmm.
24:37Do I need to show symptoms of despair?
24:39Should I sigh and moan dramatically?
25:04I've brought our landlord, His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, to say hello.
25:11How do you do, Your Royal Highness?
25:13Good morning.
25:14Your Royal Highness.
25:15Good morning.
25:15Good morning, sir.
25:16Good morning.
25:17Good morning.
25:18Your Royal Highness.
25:21So, what 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 and stating what we were
25:32hoping to achieve.
25:33Perhaps we should recap for His Royal Highness.
25:39Michael.
25:40Oh.
25:42Well, I'm here because, having 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, when entering the church, I allowed myself to dream that advancing age would bring
26:11new revelations, insight, a deepening of my faith, a growing flock.
26:20But instead, I find myself in a small rural parish with a dwindling congregation and lowering
26:27attendance.
26:28Right.
26:30And this has left you with a sense of disappointment, of underachievement, and directionlessness.
26:36Oh, well, yes.
26:38That sense of directionlessness and redundancy is, well, it's something that chimed with
26:44one or two others here.
26:45Because of how the public has turned away from us, turned away from the church.
26:50It's clear we are failing to connect with people.
26:53More and more people are finding their spiritual needs being met elsewhere.
27:00Where, for example?
27:10The moon.
27:12The moon, yes, sir.
27:16Five hundred million people watch the lunar landing.
27:19Yes.
27:19Five hundred million people getting from televisions what they used to get from the church.
27:24A sense of coming together, a sense of community, of awe, of wonder.
27:28Well, that was part of a wider shift, too, we agreed, from religion to science.
27:33The greater the achievements in science, the more mysteries are explained, the more questions
27:38are answered, the 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.
27:59Nothing.
28:01Just dust.
28:04Silence.
28:06Monochromatic void.
28:08We see no god behind those rocks and space dust.
28:13Simply an unknowable vastness.
28:18When 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?
28:52Me?
29:01I'll tell you what I think.
29:03I've never heard such a load 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 lost.
29:19I believe that there is an imperative within man, all men, to make a mark.
29:25Action is what defines us.
29:27Action, not suffering.
29:28All this sitting around, thinking and talking.
29:33Let me ask you this.
29:34Do you think those astronauts up there are catatonic like you lot?
29:39Of course not.
29:40They are too busy achieving something spectacular.
29:44And as a result, they are at one with the world.
29:47At one with their god.
29:49And happy.
29:53That's my advice.
29:55Model yourselves on men of action.
29:57Like Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins.
30:01I 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.
30:26Oh, 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, you 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,
30:54and if after all their tests they're still standing,
30:57would 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.
31:16Yes, 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 2 p.m.
31:38From there, they will be taken directly to the American Embassy at Gropen Square
31:41for a meeting with the U.S. Ambassador.
31:43From there, they will come to Buckingham Palace for an audience with Her Majesty's the Queen,
31:47Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness Duke of Edinburgh,
31:49Princess Margaret, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
31:53And what time will that be?
31:54Around four o'clock, ma'am.
31:55Will 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.
32:02More than half an hour from arrival to departure.
32:06Great.
32:11I'd like to make a request, if I may.
32:15Sir.
32:16Instead of being herded in with everyone else, I was wondering if I might be allowed some
32:20time with the astronauts alone, in a separate, private meeting, airman to airman, pilot to
32:30the pilot's, I'll speak to the ambassador, but I'm sure it would be possible our end.
32:39Would 15 minutes be enough?
32:4115 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.
33:27I can see it's all I'm going to get.
33:30The astronauts begin a hectic 22 and a quarter hour visit that demands the same sort of precision
33:35and timing as their mission in space.
33:37The world famous man on the moon team of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins,
33:42accompanied by their wives, receive one of their warmest welcomes yet from the British
33:47people.
33:47The astronauts admitted that they are starting to feel the strain of the 22 nation's world
33:51tour.
33:54Airman from the planet Earth, Mike, that's right upon the land.
33:58Delive, I've been 69.
34:03Everything's quite clearly.
34:04The light is, uh, especially, uh, right, not right into the front of the land.
34:10That's really, like, it's very clearly.
34:11It's very clearly.
34:32Oh, dear.
34:33Is that open?
34:35I'm going to go for a flight.
34:48The American astronauts are now arriving at Buckethead Palace.
34:51The world-famous team of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins in the...
35:35Your Majesty, Mr. Neil Armstrong.
35:38Hello.
35:39Welcome.
35:39Pleasure to meet you.
35:40Into...
35:41Mrs. Armstrong.
35:41Hello.
35:42Colonel Michael Collins.
35:44Hello.
35:45Great pleasure to meet you.
35:52Great pleasure to meet you, young man.
36:04Sir?
36:31Please don't tell me you want to talk about children.
36:53They've been waiting long.
36:55Only a few moments, sir.
37:09Mr. Neil Armstrong, Colonel Michael Collins and Colonel Edwin Aldrin, you're all honest.
37:13It is a great, great honor, gentlemen. Congratulations, one and all.
37:20Please, do sit down.
37:31There's no need to sit so closely. 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 know if anyone told you, but I am actually a pilot myself.
37:50You all right? Yes, sir. I just had a cold. Here. It's clean, I promise you.
38:02Why, you've all got colds.
38:06Yes, we do.
38:11Well, here we are.
38:18I just want to say how much I admire what you've done. It's just remarkable.
38:25But also to say how much I identify in some way with who you are.
38:30Bless you. Sorry.
38:33I, um...
38:36I wrote down some questions.
38:41You see, I initially imagined that I wanted to ask questions of you on a technical level.
38:46You know, like, what is the physical experience of G-forces of that magnitude and so on?
38:57You see, I realise now that the questions I actually want answering are...
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 because of the position that I've ended up in here,
39:31who I've become...
39:34Um...
39:35Who I'm married to...
39:39Um...
39:41I've...
39:42Well, 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 you three heroes at work...
39:58It...
39:58It was like watching a dream.
40:02Which is why I... I 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.
40:27Uh...
40:27Neil?
40:31Well, uh...
40:32Obviously, uh...
40:33A sense of relief that we executed the mission successfully.
40:36Of course.
40:37And we certainly got some amazing views.
40:39Didn't we?
40:40Yes.
40:41Extraordinary.
40:42I think I'm not talking so much about...
40:45The views in that sense.
40:47Uh...
40:49As...
40:50Perspectives.
40:52Uh...
40:52Observations of...
40:54Of our...
40:56Place.
41:00Uh...
41:01To be honest, there wasn't much time for that.
41:05Um...
41:06As a pilot, you'll know what they...
41:08Drill into you above all else is protocol.
41:12Uh...
41:12Procedure.
41:13Mm-hmm.
41:14You gotta stick to the rules.
41:15Yes.
41:16Well, as an astronaut, it's double that.
41:19Mm-hmm.
41:20We've pretty much spent our entire time with lists in our hands...
41:23Ticking things off.
41:24Mm-hmm.
41:25Tick, check.
41:25Tick, check.
41:26Eyes are glued to the mission protocol to such a degree...
41:29You never really get to look outside.
41:31That's how busy they keep you.
41:32Busy.
41:33Tight leash.
41:33Not to mention, most of the time you're so darn tired.
41:36Mm-hmm.
41:36No matter how hard you practice, you never get used to the sleep.
41:40Sleep.
41:41Mm-hmm.
41:43Neil, uh...
41:44Can you tell His Royal Highness about what happened after the moonwalk?
41:48Uh...
41:50I would love to hear.
41:51You'd love us to hear it.
41:52Yeah.
41:55Well, uh...
41:56After I completed the moonwalk...
41:57I-I watched it all.
41:58Every...
41:59Step.
42:01I got back into the module and...
42:03Knew...
42:04We only had a few hours to get some rest before we took off again.
42:08So, I...
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.
42:18Bang.
42:18What?
42:19Bang.
42:20Bang.
42:21From outside the module.
42:23I know.
42:23You know what it was?
42:24What?
42:26The water cooler.
42:28It was making this noise.
42:30Bang.
42:30Bang.
42:30Bang.
42:33Water cooler.
42:35The greatest engineers in the world design 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?
43:07No.
43:11Well, 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...
43:29Four miles?
43:30Uh, well...
43:31Oh, is it true you have a bagpiper for an alarm clock?
43:33And how many staff do you have here anyway?
43:36And how many palaces?
43:37We heard...
43:38Twelve.
43:39And do you know all these people in the...
43:41In the pictures?
43:41Are you related to those?
43:43Oh, to the dots?
43:52That's mine.
43:54Make sure to the dots.
43:56Oh!
43:58Oh!
44:00Oh!
44:00Oh!
44:00Oh!
44:01Oh!
44:01Yes!
44:02Oh!
44:05Oh!
44:06One, two, three...
44:08Cheese!
44:13Oh!
44:14Oh!
44:14Oh!
44:15Oh!
44:15Oh!
44:15I didn't know what I was thinking.
44:17I expected them to be giants.
44:20Gods.
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.
44:46And entirely anticlimactic when you meet them in person.
44:51Can you imagine if they go all that way to the moon
44:55and stay healthy, but one trip to London then he kills them?
45:01It's not their fault.
45:03They never wanted to be public figures.
45:06And now, because of one event, they will be forever.
45:09They delivered as astronauts,
45:11but they 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
45:27and 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,
45:40if that's all planet Earth has got to offer.
45:43Let's give the place a miss.
45:45Mm.
45:47Mm.
45:49Mm.
45:54Mm.
46:01Mm.
46:03Mm.
49:39She asked me.
49:47I'm here to admit to you that I've lost it.
49:56And without it, what is there?
50:02The...
50:05The loneliness and emptiness and anti-climax
50:11of going all that way to the moon
50:14to find nothing but haunting desolation,
50:21ghostly silence, gloom.
50:26That is what faithlessness is.
50:31You know, as opposed to finding, you know, wonder, ecstasy,
50:36the miracle of divine creation, God's design and purpose.
50:45What am I trying to say?
50:48I'm trying to say that the solution to our problems,
50:55I think, is not in the ingenuity of the rocket
51:00or 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,
51:28having ridiculed you for what you
51:31and these poor, blocked, lost souls
51:39were trying to achieve here in St. George's house,
51:45I now find myself full of respect
51:49and admiration
51:52and not a small part of desperation.
52:00As I come to say,
52:06help.
52:12Help me.
52:23And to admit,
52:26while those three astronauts deserve all our praise and respect
52:29for their undoubted heralds,
52:31I was more scared coming here to see you today
52:33than I would have been going up in any bloody rocket.
52:40Let's get up.
