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
03:14In time
03:15In a little making
03:32I did not
03:32And the last one
03:34My dad
03:34Not ten
03:34To the last one
03:35And the last one
03:35And the last one
03:43Had it
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.
07:12I'm kind.
07:16Yea.
07:17And so here at Cape Kennedy, we're all up to the moon this morning.
07:24nickel, nickel, nickel, nickel, nickel, nickel, nickel, nickel, nickel, nickel, nickel, conc никак.
07:26I need to organizations for the night for love.
07:26주황le, the'll….
07:26The big moon Express.
07:27All ready to leave Platphone 39 here at Cape Kennedy on time in about thirty minutes.
07:34this enormous event which uniquely unites all the world
07:39because all the world should be interested in this journey
07:43and 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
08:26you i'd say and a good fit for what for the job i've asked him to do
08:33this is internal 12 11 10 9. ignition sequence start six five four three two one
08:47liftoff we have a liftoff 32 minutes past the hour put back on apollo 11.
08:56so what men what coach
09:1211 houston thrushes go all engines you're looking good
09:17uh roger you're loud and clear
09:23we got skirt sim
09:25roger we confirm skirt sim
09:29tower's going
09:30roger tower
09:32neil armstrong confirming both the engine skirt separation
09:36and the launch escape tower separation
09:38hello hello this is houston uh slightly less than one minute ignition and everything is go
09:44ok
09:46so
10:06Apollo 11 has now completed its translunar injection bird, meaning it is free of Earth's
10:13orbit and 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. This rather risky procedure is when the command service module, Columbia, detaches
10:30from the rest of the spacecraft, drifts forward a little, flips over, then reattaches to the
10:35lunar module, Eagle. This new assembly then detaches from the final stage of the Saturn
10:39rocket. As 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. On
10:49Wednesday it's Norfolk to inaugurate a new gas terminal. Then on Friday it's Macclesfield for
10:55the open day of the Machine Tool Industry Research Association. That evening there will be a dinner
11:01given by the British Concrete Society where you have been asked to present an award.
11:09May I interrupt your Royal Highness? What? The newly appointed Dean of Windsor, Robin Woods,
11:15was wondering if you could spare him a moment. He has a request. Fine, 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? Afraid not, sir. Actually, 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
11:46number of buildings on the estate of Windsor that appear to be empty and unused. Specifically,
11:53the 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. I realise 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?
12:11No.
12:13This wouldn't be as a home.
12:16For a long time now, I've had a dream,
12:18an 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,
12:34well, 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, 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,
12:56and I thought one of these buildings in its idyllic setting would be a great place for priests
13:02to come and recharge, reflect, raise their game.
13:08By doing what?
13:12Talking, 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,
13:33then be my guest.
13:35Thank you, sir.
13:57Thank you, sir.
14:10Andrew, darling, it's time.
14:12Edward.
14:15Edward, time to wake up.
14:20Come on, dressing gown.
14:22Come on, Edward, hurry 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, thank you, ma'am.
14:35Of course it's all.
14:36Michael Collins left alone in the orbiter now, meaning when it passes behind the moon,
14:41he'll be entirely cut off from the rest of humanity.
14:43The loneliest man in the universe.
14:46Our prayers and the whole world are pioneers of the heavens.
14:51Come on, space, I've heard.
14:53Come on.
14:53Come on.
14:54Come on.
14:55Come on.
14:55Come on.
14:56Come on.
14:56The surface of the moon is now.
14:59They're land in sight.
15:00Chosen for its smoothness, but not entirely.
15:03Dude, take care of me.
15:03The slightest impacted rock or crater could disable the lunar module, leaving them stranded from the moon.
15:24He's gone to manual control.
15:26Something's wrong.
15:27It doesn't look real in there.
15:30It's just a soup.
15:3110 and 50 feet down at four.
15:34What'll happen if they can't land?
15:36What are you saying?
15:38They're going to run out of fuel.
15:39Dangerous people.
15:40Quiet, please.
15:41Just shh.
15:42Shhh.
15:43Shhh.
15:43Please.
15:44Making up some dust.
15:45Hey?
15:49That's fine.
15:57It says let me know.
15:58It says let me know.
16:05Houston, uh, Tranquility Base here.
16:08The Eagle has landed.
16:09Man on the moon.
16:11Man has landed on the moon.
16:16Did you see?
16:19As 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, I don't know.
16:33It's such a remarkable probability.
16:35To each of us...
16:36Meteor.
16:38To each of us, it is a story.
16:41The Eagle has landed.
16:43This 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, 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.
17:40It has 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.
17:50This 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.
18:04The 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.
18:20Beautiful. Beautiful.
18:21Isn't that something?
18:23Magnificent flight out here.
18:26Magnificent desolation.
18:43Mr. Governor, ladies and gentlemen,
18:45the seemed members of the World Textiles delegation,
18:51I very much appreciate the honor that you have bestowed on me by your invitation
18:56to the mill of Thomas Burnley and the son of Kier in Yorkshire.
19:01The groundbreaking work you are doing here by the Burnley's Black Forest.
19:10There comes a time, a moment in everyone's experience,
19:16where dentures and other oral prosthetics become an indispensable fact of life.
19:23According to last year's Adult Dental Health Survey,
19:2737% of the time.
19:42The wind is in the same way.
20:13Knee-eye.
20:16You have control?
20:17I have control.
20:21What are you doing, sir?
20:25This isn't on the flight chart.
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 can say to climb away from your land.
20:47Sir, you...
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, they'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.
22:12The 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.
22:48We shall not cease from exploring.
22:49And the end of all our exploration 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.
23:06The promise of space has never found one.
23:44Good morning, sir.
23:45Morning, sir.
23:56Your Royal Highness.
23:57Oh, Christ.
24:04Morning.
24:04I wonder whether you might have a moment, sir,
24:06to 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
24:18from 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.
24:36Do 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,
25:08to 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
26:08that advancing age
26:10would bring new revelations,
26:13insight,
26:15a deepening of my faith,
26:18a growing flock.
26:20But instead,
26:21I find myself in a small rural parish
26:24with a dwindling congregation
26:26and lowering attendance.
26:28Right.
26:30And this has left you with a sense of disappointment,
26:34of underachievement,
26:35and directionlessness.
26:37Oh, yes.
26:38That sense of directionlessness and redundancy
26:41is...
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 elsewhere.
27:00Where?
27:01Where, for example?
27:09The moon.
27:11I...
27:12I...
27:12The moon.
27:13Yes, sir.
27:16Five hundred million people watch the lunar landing.
27:19Yes.
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,
27:27of wonder.
27:28Well, that was part of a wider shift, too,
27:30we agreed,
27:31from religion to science.
27:33The greater the achievements in science,
27:35the more mysteries are explained,
27:38the 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,
27:51that 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.
28:17When I consider thy heavens,
28:21the work of thy fingers,
28:24the moon and the stars,
28:27that thou hast ordained,
28:29what is man that thou art mindful of him,
28:33and the son of man that thou visitest him?
28:45Any thoughts, sir?
28:52Me?
29:02I'll tell you what I think.
29:03I've never heard such a load of pretentious,
29:06self-piteous nonsense.
29:08What you lot need to do is to get off your backsides,
29:11get out into the world,
29:12and bloody well do something.
29:13I mean, that is why you're all so, so lost.
29:19I believe that there is an imperative within man,
29:22all men,
29:23to make a mark.
29:25Action is what defines us.
29:27Action, not suffering.
29:28And all this sitting around,
29:30thinking and talking,
29:31I...
29:32Let me ask you this.
29:34Do you think those astronauts up there
29:37are catatonic like you lot?
29:39Of course not.
29:40They are too busy achieving something spectacular.
29:43And as a result,
29:45they 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,
29:59Aldrin,
29:59Collins.
30:01I mean, these men score A triple plus.
30:04They've got the answers.
30:05Not a bunch of navel-gazing underachievers
30:08infecting one another with gaseous doom.
30:14If you do opt for action,
30:16you can start by cleaning up this bloody floor.
30:27Oh, not again.
30:28Around the same time we were asked
30:30by the American state's...
30:31It's the second time this week.
30:32If we'd send that message to the moon
30:33on the silicon disk,
30:34you were also asked another question.
30:36On how many occasions
30:37has the British royal family
30:38forced to eat venison each year?
30:40No.
30:41Honestly,
30:41I think if I eat any more of this stuff,
30:44I'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
30:53in one piece,
30:54and if after all their tests
30:55they're still standing,
30:57would we like an audience
30:58with the astronauts?
31:02What?
31:03Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins?
31:06Here at the palace?
31:07Yes.
31:08They're being sent around the world
31:09on 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
31:36at Heathrow Airport
31:37at 2 p.m.
31:38From there,
31:38they will be taken directly
31:39to the American Embassy
31:40at Gropen Square
31:41for a meeting
31:41with the U.S. Ambassador.
31:43From there,
31:44they will come to Buckingham Palace
31:45for an audience
31:45with Her Majesty's the Queen,
31:47Queen Elizabeth,
31:47the Queen Mother,
31:48His Royal Highness,
31:48Duke of Edinburgh,
31:49Princess Margaret,
31:50Princess Anne,
31:51Prince Andrew
31:51and Prince Edward.
31:52And what time will that be?
31:54Around 4 o'clock, ma'am.
31:56Will we give them anything?
31:57Tea?
31:57Probably not.
31:58We thought it good
31:59to keep things moving,
32:00no sitting down.
32:01I quite agree.
32:02More than half an hour
32:04from 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
32:18with everyone else,
32:18I was wondering
32:19if I might be allowed
32:20some time with the astronauts alone.
32:24in a separate,
32:25private meeting.
32:27Airman to airman.
32:29Pilot to pilots.
32:32I'll speak to the ambassador,
32:34but I'm sure
32:36it would be possible our end.
32:39Would 15 minutes be enough?
32:4115 minutes?
32:43They are on a very tight schedule,
32:45I believe.
32:46to discuss mankind's
32:49greatest achievement.
32:52No.
32:54It's nowhere near enough.
32:59I can see it's all I'm going to get.
33:26landing at London,
33:27Heathrow Airport from Berlin.
33:29The Apollo moon men
33:30begin a hectic
33:3122 and a quarter hour visit
33:33that demands the same sort of precision
33:35and timing
33:35as their mission in space.
33:37The world famous
33:38man on the moon team,
33:39Neil Armstrong,
33:40Buzz Aldrin,
33:41and Michael Collins,
33:42accompanied by their wives,
33:44receive one of their
33:45warmest welcomes yet
33:46from the British people.
33:47The astronauts admitted
33:48that they are starting
33:49to feel the strain
33:50of the equivalent of
33:51the nation's world.
33:52The astronauts are...
33:53Airman from the planet Earth.
33:56Mike, I've tried
33:57along the land.
33:58The rise,
33:59I've been 69.
34:01And the only thing
34:03quite clearly,
34:04the light is,
34:05especially,
34:07the light,
34:08backlighting
34:09into the front of the land.
34:10That's everything
34:10that's very clearly done.
34:32Is that open?
34:35I've never complied out here.
34:48The American astronauts
34:49are now arriving
34:50in the Bucketheon Palace.
34:51The world famous team
34:52of Neil Armstrong,
34:54Buzz Aldrin,
34:54and Michael Collins
34:55in the...
34:56...
35:35Your Majesty,
35:36Mr. Neil Armstrong.
35:38Hello.
35:39Welcome.
35:39Great pleasure to be here.
35:40Into...
35:41Mrs. Armstrong.
35:42Hello.
35:42Colonel Michael Collins.
35:44Hello.
35:44Mr. Mr. Major.
35:45Great pleasure to meet you.
35:53Great pleasure to meet you,
35:54young man.
36:04Sir?
36:31Please don't tell me
36:32you want to talk
36:33about children.
36:53They've been waiting long.
36:55Only a few moments, sir.
37:09Mr. Neil Armstrong.
37:11Colonel Michael Collins
37:12and Colonel Edwin Aldrin,
37:13you're all honest.
37:13It is a great,
37:15great honour,
37:16gentlemen.
37:17Congratulations,
37:18one and all.
37:20Please,
37:21do sit down.
37:31There's no need to sit so closely.
37:33As you can see,
37:34there's plenty of space.
37:37I notice you instinctively
37:38sat in the same positions
37:39as the command module.
37:44Anyway,
37:45I don't know
37:46if anyone told you,
37:47but I am actually
37:49a pilot myself.
37:50Are you all right?
37:51Yes, sir.
37:52I just had a cold.
37:55Here.
37:57It's clean,
37:58I promise you.
38:03Why,
38:03you've all got colds.
38:06Yes, we do.
38:11Well,
38:13here we are.
38:18I just want to say
38:19how much I admire
38:20what you've done.
38:22It's just remarkable.
38:25But also to say
38:26how much I identify
38:27in some way
38:28with who you are.
38:30Bless you.
38:31Sorry.
38:33I am
38:36I wrote down
38:37some questions.
38:41See,
38:42I initially imagined
38:42that I wanted to ask questions
38:44of you
38:44on a technical level.
38:46You're like,
38:47you know,
38:48what is the
38:48physical experience
38:50of G-forces
38:51of that
38:52magnitude
38:53and so on.
38:56But
38:57you see,
38:57I realize now
39:00that
39:03the questions
39:04I actually
39:04want answering
39:07are...
39:11You're all too young
39:12to understand,
39:13I think,
39:14but...
39:17There comes a time
39:18in life
39:19when one
39:19first really starts
39:21to evaluate
39:23what one
39:24has accomplished.
39:26And
39:26because of
39:28the position
39:28that I've
39:29ended up in here,
39:31who I've
39:32become,
39:35who I'm
39:36married to,
39:41I've...
39:42Well,
39:43I've not been able
39:43to achieve the things
39:44I would have liked to
39:47as a man,
39:48as a...
39:50as an adventurer,
39:53watching
39:54you three heroes
39:56at work.
39:59It was like
40:00watching a dream,
40:02which is
40:03why I
40:04leapt at the chance
40:05to meet with you,
40:07even if it is
40:08just for
40:08ten minutes,
40:09that I might ask...
40:19What your thoughts
40:21were
40:23out there
40:24to meet with you?
40:27Uh...
40:27Neil?
40:30Well,
40:32obviously,
40:33a sense of relief
40:34that we executed
40:35the mission successfully.
40:36Of course.
40:37And we certainly
40:38got some amazing views,
40:39didn't we?
40:40Yes,
40:41we did.
40:42Extraordinary.
40:42I think I'm not
40:43talking so much
40:44about
40:45the views
40:46in that sense
40:47as perspectives,
40:52observations
40:52of...
40:54of our
40:56place.
41:00Uh...
41:01To be honest,
41:03there wasn't much
41:03time for that.
41:06As a pilot,
41:07you'll know
41:07what they
41:08drill into you
41:09above all else
41:10is protocol
41:11and
41:12procedure.
41:13You gotta stick
41:14to the rules.
41:16Well,
41:16as an astronaut,
41:17it's double that.
41:19Mm-hmm.
41:20We've pretty much
41:20spent our entire
41:21time with lists
41:22in our hands
41:23ticking things off.
41:24Tick, check,
41:25tick, check.
41:26Isaac glued
41:27to the mission
41:27protocol to such
41:28a degree,
41:29you never really
41:30get to look outside.
41:31That's how busy
41:31they 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
41:37hard you practice,
41:37you never get used
41:38to the sleep.
41:40Sleep.
41:42Neil, uh,
41:44let me tell
41:44His Royal Highness
41:45about what happened
41:46after the moonwalk.
41:50I would love to hear.
41:51He wants to hear it.
41:55Well,
41:56after I completed
41:57the moonwalk...
41:57I watched it all,
41:58every step.
42:01I got back
42:02into the module
42:03and knew
42:04we only had
42:05a few hours
42:06to get some rest
42:07before we took off
42:08again,
42:08so I got my head down,
42:11I closed my eyes...
42:12Wait for it.
42:13But all I could hear
42:15was this noise.
42:16Bang, bang, bang,
42:18bang.
42:18What?
42:19Bang, bang, bang.
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.
42:33Water cooler.
42:35The greatest engineers
42:36in the world
42:37is Anaraka
42:37that takes us to the moon,
42:38but they can't even
42:39get us a decent
42:40water cooler.
42:42So you're right.
42:43It was full of surprises.
42:47I see.
42:54Were there any other
42:54questions you had for us?
43:07No.
43:10Well, in that case,
43:12would you mind
43:12if we asked you
43:13a few questions?
43:15No, of course.
43:17What is it like?
43:20What is what like?
43:21Living in a place
43:23like 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
43:27together,
43:28it comes to
43:29four miles?
43:30Well.
43:31Oh, is 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
43:3812.
43:3812.
43:39And do you know
43:39all these people
43:40in the pictures here?
43:41Are you related
43:42to those?
43:43Oh, do you not sleep?
43:52That's mine.
43:53Of course.
43:54We should have a talk.
43:56Mom!
43:57Mom!
43:59Mom!
44:01Mom!
44:01Mom!
44:02Mom!
44:02Yes!
44:02It's a close call.
44:04Mom!
44:05Mom!
44:06One, two, three.
44:07Cheese!
44:15I don't know
44:16what I was thinking.
44:17I expected them
44:18to be giants,
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
44:32perfect for the job.
44:33But their lack of
44:34flair or 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
44:44makes them 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
44:54all that way
44:54to the moon
44:55and stay healthy
44:56but one trip
44:57to 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 forever.
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 forgiven
45:39for thinking
45:40if that's all
45:41planet earth
45:42has got to offer.
45:43Let's give the place
45:43a miss.
46:12Let's give the place
46:57there wasn't a
46:58specific moment
47:00when it started.
47:01It's been more
47:02of a gradual thing.
47:05A drip, drip, drip
47:06of doubt.
47:11disaffection
47:12disease
47:15discomfort.
47:17People around me
47:18have noticed
47:19my general
47:21irritability.
47:24Now, of course
47:26that's nothing new.
47:28I'm generally
47:29a cantankerous sort
47:31but even I
47:33would have to admit
47:33that there has been
47:34more of it lately.
47:37Not to mention
47:38an almost
47:39jealous fascination
47:41with the achievements
47:42of these young
47:43astronauts.
47:46Compulsive,
47:47over-exercising,
47:48an inability
47:49to find
47:50calm
47:53or satisfaction
47:57or fulfilment.
48:00And when you
48:01look at all these
48:02symptoms,
48:03of course it doesn't
48:03take a genius
48:05to tell you
48:06that they all
48:07suggest I'm
48:09slap bang
48:10in the middle
48:10of a...
48:19I can't even say
48:21what kind
48:22of crisis.
48:24That's...
48:25that's...
48:26crisis.
48:28And of course
48:30one's read or heard
48:31about other people
48:32hitting that crisis
48:33and just like them
48:35you look in all
48:35the usual places,
48:37resort to all
48:37the usual things
48:38to try and
48:39make yourself
48:40feel better.
48:44Some of which
48:45I can admit
48:45to in this room
48:46and some of which
48:47I probably shouldn't.
48:56My mother died
48:57recently.
49:11She, she saw
49:12that something
49:14was amiss.
49:17It's a good
49:18word there.
49:21Amiss.
49:22She saw
49:23that something
49:23was missing
49:24in her youngest
49:26child,
49:27her only son.
49:32Faith.
49:38How's your faith?
49:39She asked me.
49:47I'm here
49:48to admit to you
49:49that
49:50I've lost it.
49:55And
49:57without it
49:58what is there?
50:02The
50:05the loneliness
50:07and emptiness
50:09and anti-climax
50:11of going
50:13all that way
50:14to the moon
50:14to find
50:16nothing
50:17but haunting
50:18desolation,
50:21ghostly silence,
50:24gloom.
50:26That is what
50:28faithlessness is.
50:31as opposed
50:32to finding
50:34no wonder,
50:36ecstasy,
50:36the miracle
50:37of
50:39divine
50:39creation,
50:41God's design
50:42and purpose.
50:45What am I
50:46trying to say?
50:48I'm trying
50:49to say
50:50that
50:51the solution
50:53to our problems
50:54I think
50:55is not
50:57in the
50:57the ingenuity
50:59of the rocket
51:00or the science
51:01or the technology
51:02or
51:03even the bravery.
51:09No,
51:10the answer
51:10is in here.
51:14Or here
51:15or wherever
51:16it is
51:17that
51:17faith
51:18resides.
51:23And so
51:25Dean Woods
51:28having ridiculed
51:30you
51:30for what
51:31you
51:31and these
51:32poor
51:34blocked
51:35lost
51:36souls
51:38were trying
51:40to achieve
51:41here
51:41in St. George's house,
51:45I now find
51:46myself
51:47full of respect
51:49and admiration
51:52and not a
51:54small part
51:55of
51:56desperation
52:00as I
52:01come to say
52:06help.
52:12Help me.
52:23and to admit
52:26while those
52:27three astronauts
52:27deserve all our
52:28praise and respect
52:29for their
52:30undoubted
52:31heroism,
52:31I was more
52:32scared coming here
52:33to see you today
52:33than I would have
52:34been going up
52:35in any bloody
52:35rocket.
