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
03:13Hold on
03:13On a thick, of course
03:20In the world
03:21In the world
03:29In the world
03:42We must get a picture
03:43Until then
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.
06:42Father.
06:44Father.
06:56I think so.
07:01Amen.
07:04Amen.
07:06Amen.
07:06Amen.
07:07Amen.
07:08Amen.
07:09Amen.
07:16and so here at cape kennedy we are all up to the moon this morning
07:25the big moon express all ready to leave platform 39 here at cape kennedy
07:30on time in about 30 minutes this enormous event which uniquely unites
07:37all the world because all the world should be interested in this journey
07:43and after this journey we on earth can never be the same

10:07Apollo 11 has now completed its translunar injection, BIRD, meaning it is free of Earth's orbit and traveling at the
10:14colossal speed of 24,200 miles an hour towards the moon.
10:20The astronauts have now completed what they call the transposition, docking and extraction maneuver.
10:25This rather risky procedure is when the command service module, Columbia, detaches from the rest of the spacecraft, drifts forward
10:32a little, flips over, then reattaches to the lunar 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 been asked to present
11:05an 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. He has a
11:18request.
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?
11:32Hello?
11:33Hello?
11:34Hello?
11:34Hello?
11:35Hello?
11:35Hello?
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 on 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, all the houses on
11:58the north walls, the old residences of the minor Cannons.
12:01I realize 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, is that
12:36you get to a certain age and you hit a ceiling.
12:39A crisis, if you will.
12:41You'll lose perspective, get 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, and I thought one of these buildings in
12:57its idyllic setting would be a great place for priests to come and 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.
14:20Come on.
14:20Dressing down.
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...
14:47Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.
14:48The whole world...
14:49I'll go on.
14:49Come on.
14:50Pioneers of heaven.
14:51Come on, Spade, sir.
14:52Come on.
14:53Couple of...
14:54Why?
14:55Up the surface of the moon now.
14:59They're nabbed in sight.
15:00Chosen for its smoothness, but not entirely.
15:03Dude, take her in my hands.
15:03The slightest impacted rock or crater could disable the lunar module.
15:08Drink, sir.
15:09Leaving them stranded from the moon forever.
15:12I'll be here, go behind.
15:14I'm getting a little fluctuation in the, uh, in the, uh, boulders now.
15:19Oh, they're in.
15:19Oh, yes.
15:20I have to be in.
15:20John, hurry up.
15:21We're going to visit.
15:22Yes.
15:23What are they saying?
15:25He's gone to manual control.
15:27Something's wrong.
15:28Doesn't look real.
15:29I know.
15:30She was a sink.
15:31I don't believe they can't land.
15:38They're going to run out of fuel.
15:39You're dangerous.
15:40Quiet, please.
15:41Just shh.
15:42Shhh.
15:43Shhh.
15:43Shhh.
15:43Please.
15:44Making up some dust.
15:45Hey?
15:49That's hot.
16:09Man on the moon.
16:10Man has landed on the moon.
16:18Did you see?
16:19As we watch these images tonight, we are united across the world in a uniform sense of wonder.
16:28Never before has the entire planet.
16:31No, we don't have to.
16:32My head.
16:33It's up to the market of probability.
16:36To each of us.
16:36Meteor.
16:38To each of us.
16:39This is historic.
16:42The evil of learning.
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 this singular
16:56human achievement.
16:58Okay, Neil, we can see you coming down the ladder now.
17:01I'm at the foot of the ladder.
17:04The lamb footbeds are only depressed in the surface about one or two inches, although the surface appears to be
17:13very, very fine-grained as you get close to it.
17:17It's almost like a powder.
17:20Ground net is very fine.
17:24And 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 like much of the high desert of the United States.
17:47It's different, but it's very pretty on here.
17:50This is a powerful reminder of our capacity for greatness as a species.
17:57It's not simply the engineering triumph represented here today, but the triumph of human ambition, the desire to reach quite
18:06literally for the stars.
18:08And I think this new perspective, seeing the earth from space, in all our unity and cohesion, is likely to
18:16inspire an unprecedented shift in our thinking.
18:19Beautiful view.
18:21Is that something?
18:23Magnificent sight out here.
18:26Magnificent desolation.
18:27Magnificent desolation.
18:27Magnificent desolation.
18:47Magnificent desolation.
18:52Magnificent desolation.
18:52Magnificent desolation.
18:53Magnificent desolation.
18:53Magnificent desolation.
18:54Magnificent desolation.
18:54Magnificent desolation.
18:55Magnificent desolation.
18:56Magnificent desolation.
18:57Magnificent desolation.
18:57Magnificent desolation.
18:57Spermian sunup here in Yorkshire.
19:02The groundbreaking work you are doing here
19:05by the Spermian sunup here in Yorkshire.
19:10There comes a time,
19:12a moment in everyone's experience
19:15where dentures and other oral prosthetics
19:19become an indispensable fact of life.
19:23According to last year's adult dental health survey,
19:2837 percent.
19:42I'm looking into one of the main things
19:44by heading 3-0, moving to 3-7.
20:13me I
20:16you have control
20:17I have control
20:21what are you doing sir
20:25this isn't on the flight charge
20:27there's no other traffic
20:36sir
20:41sir the service ceiling for this aircraft is 45,000 feet
20:45you and I both
20:45but I can say you can't live your land
20:47I saw you
21:15go
21:15go
21:16go
21:16go
21:16go
21:16go
21:17go
21:17go
21:28God, isn't it beautiful?
21:31I'm sure, but we're currently at the very limit
21:33of what this aircraft can do.
21:35Perhaps, but look.
21:37We've also lived.
21:40Just for a minute.
22:03The first men on the moon lifted off on the first stage
22:06of their journey home an hour and six minutes 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?
22:16A stupendous venture.
22:45A stupendous venture.
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 fallen.
23:45Good morning, sir.
23:45Morning, sir.
23:56Your Royal Highness.
23:58Christ.
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.
24:29Just to say hello.
24:30What, now?
24:31Why not?
24:34Fine.
24:34Get in.
24:36Do I need to show symptoms of despair?
24:38Should I sigh and moan dramatically?
24:42One does like to fit in.
25:05I'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.
25:16Good morning.
25:18Good morning.
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.
25:52I decided to give myself a score.
25:55And 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, lowering attendance.
26:28Right.
26:30And this has left you with a sense of disappointment, of underachievement and directionlessness.
26:37Well, 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.
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 elsewhere.
27:00Where, for example?
27:10The moon.
27:11I...
27:12The moon.
27:13Yes, sir.
27:16Five hundred million people watched the lunar landing.
27:18Yes.
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.
28:06A monochromatic void.
28:08We see no god behind those rocks and space dust, simply 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?
28:52Me?
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 world
29:12do 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.
29:28All 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.
29:47They're 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.
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 still standing,
30:57would we like an audience with the astronauts?
31:03What? Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins? Here 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 for a meeting with the U
31:42.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, Princess Margaret, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
31:53And what time will that be?
31:54Around 4 o'clock, ma'am.
31:56Will we give them anything? Tea?
31:57Probably not. We 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.
32:14If I may.
32:15Sir.
32:16Instead of being herded in with everyone else, I was wondering if I might be allowed some time with the
32:21astronauts alone.
32:24In a separate, private meeting.
32:27Airman to airman.
32:30Pilot to pilots.
32:32I'll speak to the Ambassador.
32:34But I'm sure it would be possible our end.
32:39Would 15 minutes be enough?
32:4015 minutes.
32:42They 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 who I'm going to get.
33:21I can see it's who I'm going to get.
33:26Landing at London Heathrow Airport from Berlin.
33:29The Apollo moon men 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, accompanied by their wives,
33:44receive one of their warmest welcomes yet from the British people.
33:47The astronauts admitted that they are starting to feel the strain of the British people.
33:53Airman from the planet Earth.
33:56Mark step right along the land.
33:59Arise, IP69.
34:01Airman, I can see everything quite clearly.
34:04The light is, uh...
34:05Airman, I can see the plane as I'm trying to have a new line.
34:10Airman, I can see everything quite clearly there.
34:14Airman, I can see on the cat.
34:21Airman, I can see on the air in the air.
34:32Airman, you're on the air.
34:33Airman, you're on the air?
34:48The American astronauts are now arriving to Bucketham Palace, the world famous team of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael
34:55Collins in the...
35:04...the airlock.
35:27...you know what the American astronauts are doing?
35:35Your Majesty, Mr. Neil Armstrong.
35:38Hello.
35:39Welcome.
35:39Great pleasure to meet you.
35:40Mrs. Armstrong.
35:42Hello.
35:42Colonel Michael Collins.
35:45Great pleasure to meet you.
35:53Great 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.
37:10Mr. Neil Armstrong, Colonel Michael Collins, and Colonel Edwin Aldrin, you're all honest.
37:13It is a great, great honor, gentlemen.
37:17Congratulations, one and all.
37:20Please, do sit down.
37:31There's no need to sit so closely.
37:33As 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.
37:50Are you all right?
37:51Yes, sir.
37:52I just had a cold.
37:55Here.
37:57It's clean, I promise you.
38:03Why, you've, uh, you've, uh, you've, you've all got colds.
38:07Yes, we do.
38:12Well, here we are.
38:18I just want to say how much I admire what you've done.
38:22It's just remarkable.
38:24Um, but also to say how much I identify in some way with, with who you are.
38:30Bless you.
38:31Sorry.
38:33I, um, I wrote down some questions.
38:41You see, I initially imagined that I wanted to ask questions of you on a technical level.
38:46You're like, you know, what is the physical experience of, of G-forces of, of that magnitude
38:53and so on, but, you see, I, I realize now that,
39:03the questions I actually want answering are,
39:10see, you're all too young to understand, I think, but,
39:17there comes a time in life when one first really starts to evaluate what one has accomplished.
39:26And because of the position that I've ended up in here,
39:31who I've become,
39:35who I'm married to,
39:40I'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,
39:57it,
39:59it was like watching a dream,
40:02which is why 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,
40:33a 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.
40:41We did.
40:42Extraordinary.
40:42I think I'm not talking so much about the views in that sense,
40:47as perspectives,
40:52observations of,
40:54of our place.
41:01To be honest,
41:03there wasn't much time for that.
41:06as a pilot,
41:07you'll know what they drill into you.
41:09Above all else,
41:10is protocol,
41:12procedure.
41:13You gotta stick to the rules.
41:15Yes.
41:16Well,
41:16as an astronaut,
41:17it's double that.
41:19Mm-hmm.
41:20We've pretty much spent our entire time
41:22with lists in our hands,
41:23ticking things off.
41:25Tick,
41:25check,
41:25tick,
41:26check.
41:26Isaac 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,
41:34most of the time,
41:35you're so darn tired.
41:36No matter how hard you practice,
41:37you never get used to the sleep.
41:40Sleep.
41:42Neil,
41:44let me tell His Royal Highness
41:45about what happened after the moonwalk.
41:50I would love to hear.
41:51He wants to hear it.
41:55Well,
41:56after I completed the moonwalk...
41:57I watched it all,
41:58every step.
42:01I got back into the module,
42:03and knew
42:04we only had a few hours
42:06to 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
42:15was this noise.
42:16Bang,
42:16bang,
42:17bang,
42:18bang.
42:18What?
42:19Bang,
42:20bang,
42:20bang.
42:21From outside the module.
42:23I know.
42:23You know what it was?
42:24What?
42:26The water cooler.
42:29It was making this noise.
42:30Bang,
42:30bang,
42:30bang.
42:33Water cooler.
42:35The greatest engineers in the world
42:37designed a rocket
42:37that takes us to the moon,
42:38but they can't even get us
42:39a decent water cooler.
42:42So,
42:42you're right.
42:43It was full of surprises.
42:47I see.
42:54Were there any other questions
42:55you had for us?
43:07No.
43:08Relax.
43:11Well,
43:11in that case,
43:12would you mind
43:12if we asked you
43:13a few questions?
43:15No,
43:15of course.
43:17What is it like?
43:20What is what like?
43:21Living in a,
43:22in a place like this.
43:23Because we heard
43:24you had a thousand rooms.
43:25And that if you had
43:26the lengths
43:27of all the corridors together,
43:28it comes to
43:29four miles?
43:31Well,
43:31oh,
43:31is it true
43:32you have a bagpiper
43:33for an alarm clock?
43:34And how many staff
43:34do you have here anyway?
43:35And how many palaces?
43:37We heard
43:38twelve.
43:39And do you know
43:39all these people
43:40in the,
43:40in the pictures here?
43:41Are they related to
43:42those?
43:43Oh,
43:44did you not sleep?
43:52That's mine.
43:53Of course.
43:54We should have a talk.
43:56Oh,
44:01yes,
44:02it's almost all.
44:05Ready?
44:06One,
44:07two,
44:07three.
44:08Cheese!
44:09Cheese!
44:11Cheese!
44:11Cheese!
44:12Cheese!
44:15I don't know what I was thinking.
44:17I expected them to be
44:19giants,
44:20gods.
44:22In reality,
44:23they were just
44:23three little men,
44:25pale-faced
44:26with cults.
44:28I have some sympathy.
44:30The very qualities
44:32that made them perfect
44:33for the job.
44:33But their lack of
44:34flair
44:35or imagination.
44:36Their sense of duty
44:37and modesty
44:38and reliability.
44:39Total absence
44:40of originality
44:42or spontaneity.
44:43But that's what makes
44:44them perfect
44:44in a crisis.
44:46And entirely
44:47anticlimactic
44:47when you meet them
44:48in person.
44:51Can you imagine
44:53if they go all that way
44:54to the moon
44:55and stay healthy
44:56but one trip to London
44:57then he kills them?
45:01It's not their fault.
45:03They never wanted
45:04to be public figures
45:05and now
45:06because of one event
45:07they will be
45:08forever.
45:09They delivered
45:10as astronauts
45:11but
45:13they disappointed
45:14as human beings.
45:18They'll spend the rest
45:19of their lives
45:20in goldfish bowls
45:22scared to open
45:23their mouths
45:24knowing
45:25it could reveal
45:26who they actually are
45:27and that they will
45:28inevitably disappoint.
45:30And for that
45:31they deserve our pity.
45:34Good job
45:35there were no
45:36little green men.
45:38They could be
45:39forgiven for thinking
45:40if that's all
45:41planet Earth
45:42has got to offer
45:42let's give the place
45:43a miss.
46:00Let's do it.
47:21Irritability.
47:24Now, of course, that's nothing new.
47:29Generally, a cantankerous sort.
47:32But 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 fulfilment.
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 just like them, you look in all the usual places, resort to all the usual things to try and
48:39make yourself feel better.
48:44Some of which I can admit to in this room, and some of which I probably shouldn't.
48:57Some of which I can't believe in this room.
48:58Some of which I can't say.
48:58Some of which I can't say.
49:21Amiss, she saw that something was missing
49:24in her youngest child, her only son.
49:32Faith.
49:37How's your faith, she 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 anticlimax
50:12of going all that way to the moon
50:15to find nothing but haunting desolation.
50:21Ghostly silence.
50:23Gloom.
50:26That is what faithlessness is.
50:31As 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,
51:01or 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 and these poor,
51:34blocked, 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,
52:05help.
52:12Help me.
52:13Help me.
52:23And to admit,
52:26while those three astronauts deserve all our praise and respect
52:29for their undoubted heroism,
52:31I was more scared coming here to see you today
52:33than I would have been going up in any bloody rocket before.
52:36LAUGHTER
52:40Ahem.
