TO THE TRANQUILITY BASE WHERE THE EAGLE LANDED,

00:56.556 --> 01:00.193 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%

THIS ROCKET STANDS 363 FEET TALL AND WEIGHS

01:29.422 --> 01:31.758 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
OVER 6 MILLION POUNDS.

01:31.858 --> 01:37.263 align:left position:65% line:83% size:25%
400,000 PEOPLE WORKED ON THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
OF THIS ROCKET AND IT IS ABOUT TO BLAST OFF.

01:37.363 --> 01:39.666 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
IT'S LIKE WATCHING A BUILDING SHOOT INTO

EXACTLY.

01:58.051 --> 02:02.422 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
THEY LIVED INSIDE THE COMMAND SERVICE MODULE
AND THE LUNAR MODULE DURING THE TRIP.

02:02.522 --> 02:04.124 align:left position:85% line:89% size:5%
NOT A WHOLE LOT OF SPACE FOR 8 DAYS.

02:04.224 --> 02:06.326 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
THEY DIDN'T FLY DIRECTLY TO THE MOON, BUT

02:06.426 --> 02:09.095 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
FIRST ORBITED THE EARTH
ONE-AND-A-HALF TIMES.

02:09.195 --> 02:13.666 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
THEN THEY ACCELERATED TO BREAK FREE OF THE
GRAVITY OF EARTH AND ROCKETED TOWARD

02:13.766 --> 02:14.734 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
THE MOON.

THE JOURNEY TO THE MOON TOOK ABOUT

02:16.970 --> 02:18.438 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
3 DAYS.

02:18.538 --> 02:21.975 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
THE ASTRONAUTS THEN GUIDED THEIR CRAFT INTO
AN ORBIT AROUND THE MOON.

02:22.075 --> 02:24.210 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
THE VIEW OF THE LUNAR SURFACE UP CLOSE MUST

02:24.310 --> 02:25.512 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
HAVE BEEN AMAZING.

02:25.612 --> 02:27.147 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
SO MANY CRATERS.

02:27.247 --> 02:29.616 align:left position:72.5% line:89% size:17.5%
BUZZ ALDRIN CALLED IT MAGNIFICENT DESOLATION.

02:29.716 --> 02:32.952 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
AND THE VIEW OF THE DISTANT EARTH WAS UNBELIEVABLY

02:33.052 --> 02:34.320 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
MOVING.

02:34.420 --> 02:37.457 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
THERE WAS OUR ENTIRE PLANET AND EVERYONE WHO
HAS EVER LIVED.

02:37.557 --> 02:39.325 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
EXCEPT FOR THOSE THREE ASTRONAUTS.

02:39.425 --> 02:40.560 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
WOW.

02:40.660 --> 02:43.129 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
THEN NEIL ARMSTRONG AND BUZZ ALDRIN ENTERED

02:43.229 --> 02:47.534 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
THE LUNAR MODULE AND PREPARED TO DESCEND TO
THE SURFACE WHILE MICHAEL COLLINS REMAINED

02:47.634 --> 02:49.802 align:left position:82.5% line:89% size:7.5%
IN LUNAR ORBIT IN THE COMMAND MODULE.

02:49.903 --> 02:54.941 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
ON THE AFTERNOON OF JULY 20, 1969 NEIL ARMSTRONG,

02:55.041 --> 02:59.512 align:left position:70% line:83% size:20%
AFTER SOME HARROWING MOMENTS, GUIDED THE LANDER
SAFELY DOWN ONTO THE SEA OF TRANQUILITY,

02:59.612 --> 03:03.383 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
A RELATIVELY FLAT PLAIN OF HARDENED VOLCANIC
ROCK.

03:03.483 --> 03:08.321 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
NEIL SAID, THE EAGLE HAS LANDED AND EVERYONE
BREATHED A HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF.

03:08.421 --> 03:10.356 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
AND THEN THEY CELEBRATED.

03:10.456 --> 03:11.357 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
WE DID IT!

03:11.457 --> 03:13.826 align:left position:85% line:89% size:5%
WE ACTUALLY SENT PEOPLE TO THE MOON!

03:13.927 --> 03:19.032 align:left position:72.5% line:83% size:17.5%
THAT NIGHT ALMOST THE ENTIRE WORLD TUNED INTO
THEIR TVS TO WATCH AS NEIL AND BUZZ TOOK THEIR

03:19.132 --> 03:21.701 align:left position:87.5% line:89% size:2.5%
FIRST STEPS ON THE LUNAR SURFACE.

03:21.801 --> 03:27.173 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
NEIL ARMSTRONGS WORDS, THATS ONE
SMALL STEP FOR A MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND

03:27.273 --> 03:29.609 align:left position:72.5% line:83% size:17.5%
IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS MOMENTS IN AMERICAN
HISTORY.

03:29.709 --> 03:33.046 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
NEIL AND BUZZ BOUNDED AROUND THE LUNAR LANDSCAPE,

03:33.146 --> 03:38.651 align:left position:65% line:83% size:25%
COLLECTED MOON ROCKS, SET UP SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS
AND THEN HEADED BACK INSIDE TO PREPARE TO

03:38.751 --> 03:39.652 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
LEAVE.

03:39.752 --> 03:41.621 align:left position:82.5% line:89% size:7.5%
THEY ONLY SPENT 21 HOURS ON THE MOON.

03:41.721 --> 03:44.557 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
THEN THEY HEADED BACK INTO SPACE IN ORDER

03:44.657 --> 03:46.626 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
TO RENDEZVOUS WITH MICHAEL COLLINS IN THE
COMMAND MODULE.

03:46.726 --> 03:48.194 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
BYE BYE MOON!

03:48.294 --> 03:49.696 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%

03:54.400 --> 03:57.303 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
ASTRONAUTS SPLASHED DOWN INTO THE PACIFIC

THEY HAD BEEN TO THE MOON AND BACK, AN EIGHT-DAY

04:00.340 --> 04:02.809 align:left position:72.5% line:89% size:17.5%
JOURNEY AND TRAVELED ABOUT ONE MILLION MILES.

04:02.909 --> 04:05.511 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
THEY EMERGED AS NATIONAL HEROES AND BECAME

04:05.612 --> 04:07.880 align:left position:75% line:89% size:15%
SOME OF THE MOST FAMOUS PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.

04:07.981 --> 04:09.349 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
IT WAS A JOURNEY FOR THE AGES.

04:09.449 --> 04:12.318 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
IN TOTAL, 18 OTHER ASTRONAUTS FLEW TO THE

04:12.418 --> 04:15.421 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
MOON, WITH 10 OF THOSE WALKING ON THE LUNAR
SURFACE.

04:15.521 --> 04:18.458 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
CELEBRATE THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MOON

04:18.558 --> 04:20.293 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
LANDING THIS WEEKEND.

04:20.393 --> 04:24.364 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
AND THINK OF THE EPIC JOURNEY THOSE THREE
ASTRONAUTS MADE AS WELL AS ALL THE COUNTLESS

04:24.464 --> 04:25.365 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
PEOPLE WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE.

04:25.465 --> 04:26.733 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
I MEAN, THINK OF IT.

04:26.833 --> 04:30.436 align:left position:72.5% line:83% size:17.5%
WHEN YOU SEE THE MOON IN THE SKY, SOME 240,000
MILES AWAY.

04:30.536 --> 04:35.408 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
YOU CAN SAY, WOW, WE ACTUALLY WENT THERE!
AND THEN YOU CAN DREAM OF ALL THE PLACES IN
