ARMSTRONG AND BUZZ ALDRIN
STEPPED ONTO THE SURFACE OF THE
MOON, THE WHOLE WORLD LOOKED ON
IN ALL.

A SUPER HIGH STRESS EXPERIENCE.

THE FRONT ROW OF MISSION
CONTROL PART OF THE TEAM
RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVELOPING AND
TESTING THE MOON SUIT AND BACK
PACKS THE ASTRONAUTS WAR.
THIS IS AMAZING.
HOW IN THE WORLD, TAKE ME

PHOTOGRAPH, THE WHOLE THING WAS
CALLED EMU WHICH IS ITS OWN
LITTLE SPACECRAFT.
LITTLE SPACECRAFT. AND AS A YOUNG ENGINEER, I WAS
26 WHEN WE LANDED ON THE MOON.
I HELPED DEVELOP AND DESIGN IT
AND ACTUALLY TEST IT.
WE WENT INTO ALTITUDE CHAMBERS,
I NEVER TOLD MY WIFE, --
>> I KNOW BECAUSE MY DAD WAS AN
AIR FORCE PILOT.
>> THE WAY YOU ATTESTED 0G WAS
TO GO INTO THE CASEY 135.
IT WOULD GO FROM LIKE 25,000 OF
TO 35,000 ADMITTED DID THE PEAK
EVERYONE WAS FLOATING.
YOU HAD 40 SECONDS OF FLOATING
AND YOU DID WHATEVER ACTIVITY
YOU HAD TO DO.
I HAD TO GET INTO A SPACESUIT
IN 0G.
IN 0G.
IN 0G. IT
IN 0G. IT WILL PLUMMET DOWN TO 25,000
FEET TO 20.
AT THE VERY BOTTOM WAS 2.5 G'S.
WE DID ABOUT 70 TO GET ABOUT 10
MINUTES WORTH OF DATA.
YOU DID NOT EAT BREAKFAST AND
THAT YOU WANTED TO SHARE IT
WITH EVERYBODY IN THE AIRPLANE.
>> SO THAT DAY YOUR SITTING
THERE AND HAD TO GIVE THE
THUMBS UP FOR THEM TO GO OUT.
WHAT WAS THAT LIKE?
>> WE'VE GOT TO BACK UP A BIT.
THE MISSION IS DESIGNED WITH
DIFFERENT TEAMS.
DIFFERENT TEAMS. YOU HAVE A TEAM THAT IS AN
EXPERT AT GETTING TO THE MOON.
ONCE THEY DECIDED TO STAY
THERE, WE ARE IN THE STAFF
SUPPORT ROOMS.
SUPPORT ROOMS. WE GOT THE MESSAGE THAT NEIL
WANTED TO GO OUT EARLY.
THAT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY.
THE DOORS ARE LOCKED BECAUSE
THEY DON'T WANT PEOPLE
WANDERING THROUGH THERE.
WE HAVE BEEN SIMULATING EVERY
MISTAKE THAT YOU CAN AND
PRACTICING AND GETTING IT
THERE.
THERE.
THERE. IT

WHEN THEY OPENED THE DOOR AND
SAT ON THE CONSOLE AND PLUGGED
IN, IT'S REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN
AND I AM GOING TO BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE GUYS
LIVES.
LIVES.
LIVES. >>
LIVES. >> AND A 26 YEARS OLD.
>> LIKE I SAID, I VOLUNTEERED
SO I KNEW HOW IT WORKED AS WELL
AS THE ASTRONAUTS.
IF THE FLIGHT DIRECTOR HAD A
QUESTION, I WOULD HAVE AN
ANSWER BECAUSE I HAD BEEN
THROUGH WHAT.
THROUGH WHAT. WE JUST MOVED ALONG.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF
ME, I AM THE ONLY ONE LOOKING
AT THE COMPUTER SCREEN.
ONE FOR NEIL AND ONE FOR
EVERYONE ELSE.
EVERYONE ELSE. TWO HOURS AND 43 MINUTES AND
ONE OF THE BACKUPS THAT WAS
WORKING WITH ME, HE WAS TWO
YEARS OLDER, HE GAVE ME A SLAP
AND NOT BE RIGHT OUT OF THE
CHAIR.

APOLLO 13 MISSION. ALL OF MY
KIDS HAD THE MEASLES AND I TOLD
HIM HE IS RESPONSIBLE.
I CHARLIE DUKE HADDAD.
CAN AND I DID THE MISSION RULES
AND THE CHECKLISTS TOGETHER.
UNFORTUNATELY, HE NEVER WALKED
ON THE MOON.
AFTER EACH MISSION THE GUYS ARE
GIVEN SO MANY FLAGS AND THEN
THEY FRAME THEM AND THIS IS TO
ME FROM CAN FROM THE APOLLO 16
MISSION.
MISSION.
MISSION. >> THIS IS THE ONLY THING
YOU'VE GOT.

CARTRIDGE AND THE CARTRIDGE IN
THE CO2 CLEANSING UNIT FROM MY
BACKPACK.

BACKPACK. ACTUALLY THAT WAS A PROBLEM ON
APOLLO 13.
APOLLO 13. >> AND THERE'S YOUR SLIDE RULE.
>> THIS IS MY EMERGENCY ONE.
THAT IS THE BATTERY.
IT TAKES TWO HANDS.
AND OF COURSE, WHEN YOU'RE IN
MISSION CONTROL, WE ALL HAD OUR
GLASSES.
GLASSES.
GLASSES. >> YOU MADE THE TRANSITION FROM
NATIONAL ENGINEER TO DELIVERING
BABIES FOR 40 YEARS.
YOU SAY THERE ARE SOME THINGS
THAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON.
>> THEY SENT ME TO SCHOOL AND I
WAS THERE LISTENING TO NURSES
HEARING THE BEEP BEEP BEEP AND
I SAID THEY ARE MONITORING THE
UNBORN CHILD.
UNBORN CHILD. THEY ARE MONITORING FOR NINE
MONTHS MISSION AND AT THE END
OF THAT MISSION TO LAUNCH THERE
IS ONLY TWO WAY TO GET OUT.
I BET I CAN FIGURE OUT WHICH
WAY TO DO IT.
MY PATIENTS WERE DOING THE SAME
THING.
THING.
THING. DO
THING. DO NOT GIVE ME A FIVE-PAGE
BIRTH PLAN.
BIRTH PLAN. YOU WANT A GOOD SUCCESSFUL BABY
AND EVERYONE, THERE WAS NOT A
DAY I DID NOT LOOK FORWARD
GOING TO THE HOSPITAL AND
DELIVERING A BABY.
>> YOU WOULD BE GREAT AT THAT.
AND YOU GUYS GET TOGETHER.
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO GET TOGETHER
WITH THOSE PEOPLE WHO WERE
THERE IN THIS HISTORIC DAY?
>> I HAD GIVEN SUZANNE ONE OF
THE LETTERS.
THE LETTERS. IT WAS A VERY DETAILED AND
EMOTIONAL DEAL.
EMOTIONAL DEAL. IT ONLY COMES ONCE IN A
LIFETIME AND WE WORKED SO HARD
TO GET THERE AND IT WENT BY SO
FAST.
FAST.
FAST. THE
FAST. THE ASSET TEAM HAD TO COME IN
AND THEN THERE OUT.
WHEN IT WAS ALL OVER HE LOOKED
UP AND HE SAID, WE REALLY DID
IT.
IT.
IT. I
IT. I THINK OF IT IS RELATED TO
POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION.
POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION. YOU'RE OUT THERE AND IT'S DONE
AND NOW WHAT?
APOLLO 12 IS NEXT.
AND THEN APOLLO 13.
IT IS QUITE REMARKABLE AND LIKE
I SAID, I SAW PEOPLE I HADN'T
SEEN IN 50 YEARS AND IT WAS
INCREDIBLE.
INCREDIBLE. >> I AM SO GLAD YOU GOT THAT
CHANCE AND THANK
