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
03:13Yes
03:14Then we will assert
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.
06:42Let's go.
07:17and so here at cape kennedy we are all up to the moon this morning
07:24mighty saturn five the 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 all the world
07:39because all the world should be interested in this journey and after this journey
07:44we 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
08:56what men what coach
09:14go all engines you're looking good

09:24we got skirt
09:25roger we confirm skirt
09:27tower's going
09:30roger tower
09:32the alarm strong 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 go
09:47so
09:48so
09:49and
09:55so
09:59so
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.
10:25This rather risky procedure is when the command service module, Columbia, detaches from the
10:30rest of the spacecraft, drifts forward a little, flips over, then reattaches to the lunar module,
10:36Eagle.
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
10:58Association.
10:59That evening there will be a dinner given by the British Concrete Society where you have
11:04been asked to present an award.
11:10May I interrupt your Royal Highness?
11:11What?
11:12The newly appointed Dean of Windsor, Robin Woods, was wondering if you could spare him a moment.
11:17He has a request.
11:18Fine.
11:19Just put something in the book.
11:21Another highlight to look forward to along with the award show for the British Concrete
11:25Society.
11:26Is that a joke?
11:27Afraid not, sir.
11:28Actually, he's here now.
11:31Hello?
11:38Your Royal Highness.
11:40How can I help?
11:41In the process of moving in, my wife and I, we couldn't help noticing that there were a
11:46large number of buildings on the estate of Windsor that appear to be empty and unused.
11:52Specifically, 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.
12:02I realize this is quite forward of me, but I was wondering if I could make a request to
12:07use one 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.
12:15For a long time now, I've had a dream, an ambition to start an academy or conservatoire.
12:23What for?
12:25Personal and spiritual growth.
12:28Something that has struck me from my own experience, but also from observing it in,
12:34well, in others, is that you get to a certain age and you hit a ceiling.
12:39A crisis, if you will, you'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
12:56one of these buildings in its idyllic setting would be a great place for priests to come
13:02and recharge, reflect, raise their game.
13:08By doing what?
13:12Talking, 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,
13:32then be my guest.
13:35Thank you, sir.
13:46We don't have to wait long now.
13:4817 minutes and counting.
13:50The landing craft has separated from the command module and has begun its descent to the surface
13:55of the moon.
13:56Armstrong and Aldrin will now send the lunar module into a sort of pirouette.
14:00to allow Colin...
14:01Major, will you read the children?
14:03Yes, sir.
14:03He will confirm, we hope...
14:05Tell 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.
14:20Come on.
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 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.
14:46Quick, quick, quick, quick.
14:46Our prayers and the whole world are those pioneers of the heavens.
14:52Come on, Spade, sir.
14:52Come on.
14:53Come on.
14:54Come on.
14:55Above the surface of the moon now.
14:58Gosh.
14:59They're nabbed in sight, chosen for its smoothness, but not entirely.
15:03Dude, take her in my hands.
15:03The slightest impact with rock or crater could disable the lunar module, leaving them stranded
15:09from the moon forever.
15:12Oh, can you see?
15:12No.
15:14Hey, Houston, I'm getting a little fluctuation in the, uh, in the, uh, boulders now.
15:19Oh, they're in.
15:19Oh, yes.
15:20They're about to be in.
15:20John, hurry up.
15:21We're going to miss it.
15:22Yes.
15:23What are they saying?
15:25He's gone to manual control.
15:27Something's wrong.
15:28Doesn't look real, I know.
15:30Which is a super...
15:34What'll happen if they can't land?
15:38They'll run out of fuel.
15:40Quiet, please.
15:41Just shh.
15:41Please.
16:08Man on the moon.
16:11Man has landed.
16:13Man on the moon.
16:17As 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, I don't know, I'm fine, I'm fine..
16:33..is such a remarkable humanity.
16:35To each of us..
16:36Meteor!
16:38To each of us..
16:39It is historic to some of us..
16:43this is even divine and yet all of us regardless of race sex or religious
16:51belief we are united right now in this singular human achievement
16:57okay we can see you coming down the ladder now
17:01i'm at the foot of the ladder the lamb footbeds are only depressed in the
17:07surface about uh one or two inches although the surface appears to be very very fine
17:16grained as you get close to it it's almost like a powder down there uh it's very fine
17:24and uh step off the lamb now
17:29that's one small step for man
17:40and there's a stark beauty all its own it's uh like much of the high desert of the united states
17:51this is a powerful reminder of our capacity for greatness
17:56as a species not simply the engineering class represented here today but the triumph of human
18:03ambition the desire to reach quite literally for the stars and i think this new perspective seeing
18:11the earth from space in all our unity and cohesion is likely to inspire an unprecedented shift in our
18:19world's thinking
18:19magnificent desolation
18:43Mr. Governor, ladies and gentlemen,
18:45the seemed members of the Wu Textiles Delegation.
18:51I very much appreciate the honor that you have bestowed on me
18:55by your invitation to the mill of Thomas Burnley and the son of
18:59here in Yorkshire.
19:01The groundbreaking work you are doing here
19:05is by the burning fast forward.
19:10There comes a time, a moment in everyone's experience,
19:16where dentures and other oral prosthetics
19:19become an indispensable fact of life.
19:23According to last year's Adult Dental Health Survey,
19:2737%...
19:29...and there's a lot of questions in the moment.
19:33And we're going to go to our website at the end of the building.
19:41We're looking into one, they're making a bullet in 3-0.
19:45No control in traffic.
19:54We're looking into one, they may be 5-0.
19:57We're looking into one, they may be 5-0.
20:13Knee-eye
20:16You have control?
20:17I have control
20:22What are you doing, sir?
20:25This isn't on the flight, Charles
20:27There's no other traffic
20:37Sir
20:41Sir, the surface ceiling for this aircraft is 45,000 feet
20:45You and I both know
20:46I can say you can't live your land
20:47Sir, you
21:02Come on, come on
21:04Come on, come on
21:28God, isn't it beautiful?
21:31I'm sure
21:32But we're currently at the very limit of what this aircraft can do
21:35Perhaps
21:35But look
21:37We've also lived
21:40Just for a minute
22:03The first men on the moon lifted off on the first stage of their journey home
22:07Seven 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
22:15What is the meaning of this stupendous venture?
22:45We shall not cease from exploring
22:49And the end of all our exploration
22:51And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started
22:55And know the place for the first time
22:58Those words
23:00Those words by T.S. Eliot
23:01Have never run more true
23:03We stand at the dawn of a new age of space exploration
23:07The promise of space has never felt
23:10Thank you
23:10And will be for the first time
23:13To see when you are left
23:14And in the end of all our adventures
23:16And in the end of all our csak
23:34Follow my family
23:34And how did you learn
23:34And how did you learn
23:35And then if learned
23:35We have to know
23:35How did you learn
23:35The oldé¤Ø
23:39You've been
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. Get in.
24:36Do I need to show symptoms of despair?
24:39Should I sigh and moan dramatically?
24:42No one does like to fit in.
25:04I've brought our landlord,
25:06His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh, to say hello.
25:11How do you do, Your Royal Highness?
25:13Morning.
25:14Your Royal Highness.
25:15Morning.
25:15Morning, sir.
25:16Morning.
25:17Good morning.
25:18Your Royal Highness.
25:21So, 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
25:31and stating what we were hoping to achieve.
25:34Perhaps 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.
25:55And I felt I only merited a fail.
25:59D minus.
26:00Oh, dear.
26:01And why was that?
26:02Well, when entering the church, I allowed myself to dream
26:08that advancing age would bring new revelations,
26:13insight, a deepening of my faith, a growing flock.
26:20But instead, I find myself in a small rural parish
26:24with a dwindling congregation, lowering attendance.
26:28Right.
26:30And this has left you with a sense of disappointment,
26:34of underachievement and directionlessness.
26:36Oh, yes.
26:38That sense of directionlessness and redundancy is...
26:42Well, it's something that chimed with one or two others here.
26:45Because of how the public has turned away from us.
26:48Turned away from the church.
26:50It's clear we are failing to connect with people.
26:54More and more people are finding their spiritual needs
26:57being met elsewhere.
27:00Where, for example?
27:10The moon.
27:12The moon, yes, sir.
27:16Five hundred million people watch the lunar landing.
27:18Yes.
27:19Five hundred million people getting from televisions
27:22what 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,
27:38the more questions are answered, the less need there is for a god to provide answers.
27:44I'm reminded of Keats.
27:48What is there in thee, moon, that thou shouldst move my heart so potently?
27:56Now we know what the moon is.
28:00Nothing.
28:00Nothing.
28:01Nothing.
28:02Just dust.
28:04Just dust.
28:06A monochromatic void.
28:08We see no god behind those rocks and space dust, simply 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 lit of pretentious, self-piteous nonsense.
29:08What you lot need to do is to get off your backsides, get out into the world and bloody 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.
29:43And as a result, they are at one with the world.
29:47The 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.
30:27Oh, not again.
30:28Around the same time we were asked by the American State Department.
30:31It's the second time this week.
30:32If we'd send that message to the moon on the silicon disk.
30:34You were also asked another question.
30:36On how many occasions is the British royal family forced to eat venison each year?
30:40I don't know.
30:41Honestly, I think if I eat any more of this stuff, I'm going to start growing antlers.
30:46Are you listening?
30:47Yes.
30:48I'm all ears.
30:49Little brown furry ones.
30:51Well, provided they make it back to Earth in one piece, and if after all their tests they're
30:55still standing, would we like an audience with the astronauts?
31:02What?
31:03Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins?
31:06Here at the palace?
31:07Yes.
31:08They're being sent around the world on a victory tour.
31:11Shall I go back with a yes?
31:14My God.
31:16Yes, 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 2pm.
31:38From there they will be taken directly to the American Embassy at Gropen Square for a meeting
31:41with the U.S. Ambassador.
31:43From there they will come to Buckingham Palace for an audience with Her Majesty's the Queen,
31:47Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Margaret,
31:50Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
31:53And what time will that be?
31:54Around 4 o'clock, ma'am.
31:56Will we give them anything?
31:57Tea?
31:57Probably not.
31:58We thought it good to keep things moving, no sitting down.
32:01I quite agree.
32:02No more than half an hour from arrival to departure.
32:06Great.
32:11I'd like to make a request, if I may.
32:15Sir.
32:16Instead of being herded in with everyone else, I was wondering if I might be allowed some time
32:21with the astronauts alone, in a separate, private meeting, airman to airman, pilot to pilots.
32:32I'll speak to the Ambassador, but I'm sure it would be possible our end.
32:39Would 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.
33:30I can see it.
33:31No.
33:32No.
33:32No.
33:32No.
33:33No.
33:34No.
33:35No.
33:35No.
33:35No.
33:35as their mission in space the world famous man on the moon team of neil armstrong
33:40buzz aldrin and michael collins accompanied by their wives received one of their warmest welcomes
33:46yet from the british people the astronauts admitted that they are starting to feel the strain
33:53airman from the planet earth
34:01is
34:48The American astronauts are now arriving at Bucketham Palace.
34:51The world-famous team of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins.
35:35Your Majesty, Mr. Neil Armstrong.
35:38Hello.
35:39Welcome.
35:39Pleasure to meet you.
35:40Mrs. Armstrong.
35:42Hello.
35:42Colonel Michael Collins.
35:44Pleasure to meet you.
35:45Great pleasure to meet you.
35:53Great pleasure to meet you, young man.
36:04Sir?
36:05Sir?
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, sir, great honor, gentlemen.
37:17Congratulations, one and all.
37:21Please, do, uh, do sit down.
37:24There's, uh, there's no need to sit so closely.
37:32There's, uh, as you can see, there's plenty of space.
37:37I noticed you instinctively sat in the same positions as the, uh, command module.
37:44Anyway, I don't, uh, I don't know if anyone told you, but, uh, I am, uh, actually a pilot myself.
37:50I was, are you all right?
37:51Yes, sir, I just had a cold.
37:53Uh, here.
37:57I, it's, it's clean, I promise you.
38:03Why, 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.
38:25But 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.
38:41And, you see, I initially imagined that I wanted to ask questions of you on a, on a technical level.
38:46You're like, you know, what is the, the physical experience of, of G-forces of, of that magnitude and so
38:54on.
38:56But, you see, I, I realize now that the questions I actually want answering are, you're all too young to
39:12understand, I think.
39:13But, there 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, who I've become, um, who I'm married to,
39:42I've, well, I've not been able to achieve the things I would have liked to, as a man, as a,
39:49as an adventurer.
39:53And watching you three heroes at work, it, it was like watching a dream.
40:02Which is why I, I leapt at the chance to meet with you, even if it is just for, for
40:09ten minutes, that I might ask
40:19What your thoughts were, out there?
40:27Neil?
40:30Well, uh, obviously, uh, a sense of relief that we executed the mission successfully.
40:36Of course.
40:37And we certainly got some amazing views, didn't we?
40:40Yes, we did, extraordinary.
40:42I think I'm not talking so much about, you know, views in that sense, as perspectives, observations of, of our
40:55place.
40:59Uh, to be honest, there wasn't much time for that.
41:05Um, as a pilot, you'll know what they drill into you above all else is protocol or, uh, procedure.
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, ticking things off.
41:24Mm-hmm.
41:25Tick, check, tick, check.
41:26Isaac lewed to the mission protocol to such a degree, you 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.
41:50I would love to hear.
41:51You want us to hear it.
41:52Yeah.
41:55Well, after I completed the moonwalk...
41:57I watched it all, every step.
42:01I got back into the module and knew we only had a few hours to get some rest before we
42:07took off again.
42:08So, I got my head down, I closed my eyes.
42:12Wait for it.
42:13But all I could hear was this noise.
42:16Bang, bang, bang, bang.
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 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?
43:10Well, in that case, would you mind if we asked you a few questions?
43:15No, of course.
43:17What is it like?
43:20What is what like?
43:21Living in a place like this.
43:23Because we heard you had a thousand rooms.
43:25And that if you had the lengths of all the corridors together, it comes to four miles.
43:30Uh, well...
43:31Oh, is it true you have a bagpiper for an alarm clock?
43:34And how many staff do you have here, anyway?
43:36And how many palaces?
43:37We heard...
43:38Twelve.
43:39And do you know what all these people in the...
43:41In the pictures here?
43:41Are they related to those...
43:43Oh, to the dots?
43:52That's mine.
43:53Of course.
43:54I'm going to reach you to the tower.
43:55Oh!
43:57Come on!
43:59Come on!
43:59Come on!
44:00Come on!
44:01Yes!
44:02It's almost all.
44:05Ready?
44:06One, two, three.
44:08Cheese!
44:15I don't know what I was thinking.
44:17I expected them to be giants, gods.
44:22In reality, they were just three little men.
44:25Pale-faced with colds.
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 anti-climactic when you meet them in person.
44:51Can you imagine?
44:53If they go all that way to the moon and stay healthy, but one trip to London, then he kills
44:58them.
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, but they're disappointed as human beings.
45:18They'll spend the rest of their lives in goldfish bowls.
45:22Scared to open their mouths.
45:24Knowing it could reveal who they actually are and that they will inevitably disappoint.
45:30And for that, they deserve our pity.
45:34Good job there were no little green men.
45:38They could be forgiven for thinking if that's all planet Earth has got to offer.
45:43Let's give the place a miss.
46:13Let's give the place a miss.
46:14Let's give the place.
46:18Let's give the place.
46:22Let's give the place.
46:23Let's give the place a miss.
46:30Let's give the place a miss.
46:34Let's give the place a miss.
46:36Let's give the place a miss.
46:36Let's give the place a miss.
46:36Let's give the place a miss.
46:37But the first time...ą¤°on
46:37is well- kaikki Ƨocuk ok-case, Good good
46:39play. That cross
46:39-cagod niebeau- The last
46:40time you guys just gigį»„j Š²ŠøŠŗåå®, It's
46:41mine and the first time she gets to try. It's
46:41very all little joy. A missus'
46:44time later SĆ£o ė ļæ½ingers
46:57There wasn't a specific moment when it started.
47:01It's been more of a gradual thing.
47:04A drip, drip, drip of doubt.
47:11Disaffection.
47:13Disease.
47:15Discomfit.
47:17People around me have noticed my general irritability.
47:24Now, of course, that's nothing new.
47:28I'm generally a cantankerous sort.
47:32But 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.
47:45Compulsive over-exercising.
47:48An inability to find calm or satisfaction or fulfillment.
48:00And when you look at all these symptoms, of course, it doesn't take a genius to tell you that they
48:07all suggest I'm slap bang in the middle of a...
48:19I can't even say what kind of crisis.
48:24That's that crisis.
48:29And, of course, one's read or heard about other people hitting that crisis, and just like them, you look in
48:35all the usual places, resort to all the usual things to try and make yourself feel better.
48:44Some of which I can admit to in this room, and some of which I probably shouldn't.
48:49Some of which I know it's...
48:56My mother died recently.
49:11She saw that something was amiss.
49:16It's a good word there, amiss.
49:22She saw that something was missing in her youngest child,
49:27her only son.
49:32Faith.
49:37How's your faith, she asked me.
49:46I'm here to admit to you that I've lost it.
49:55And without it, what is there?
50:01The...
50:05The loneliness and emptiness and anticlimax
50:11of 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, I think,
50:56is not in the ingenuity of the rocket, or the science, or the technology,
51:02or 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, blocked, lost souls...
51:39...were trying to achieve here in St. George's house,
51:44I now find myself full of respect...
51:48...and admiration...
51:52...and not a small part of desperation.
52:00As I come to say...
52:05...help.
52:12Help me.
52:23And to admit...
52:26...while 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.
52:36...
52:39...
53:15Oh, my God.
53:36Oh, my God.
54:06Oh, my God.
55:03Oh, my God.
55:06Oh, my God.
55:36Oh, my God.
56:07Oh, my God.
