HUMIRA.
HUMIRA. >>> IT’S ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN,
ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND.
>> THAT WAS THE MOMENT WATCHED
LIVE BY MORE PEOPLE AROUND THE
WORLD THAN ANY BEFORE IT AND
PERHAPS SINCE.
PERHAPS SINCE. IN THE MOMENT BECAUSE OF THAT
RADIO BREAKUP, WALTER CRONKITE
ASKED FOR CLARIFICATION ON THE
AIR.
AIR. ARMSTRONG INSISTED THAT WHILE HE
MAY NOT HAVE PRONOUNCED EVERY
SMALL SYLLABLE IT IS ONE SMALL
STEP FOR A MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP
FOR MANKIND.
FOR MANKIND. NEIL ARMSTRONG, THE RELUCTANT
AMERICAN HERO LEFT US SEVEN
YEARS AGO.
YEARS AGO. THE TWO SURVIVING MEMBERS OF THE
CREW WERE IN THE OVAL OFFICE
TODAY, BOTH MEN ARE CHASING 90
YEARS OF AGE.
WITH US TO TALK ABOUT THE
MISSION, THE LEGACY IS A GENUINE
SPACE MAN.
SPACE MAN. VETERAN NASA ASTRONAUT MIKE
MASAMINO SPENT 571 HOURS AND 47
MINUTES IN SPACE, COMPLETING
FOUR SPACE WALKS TOTALING 30
HOURS AND 4 MINUTES OF TETHERED
TIME.
TIME. HE IS A PhD AND ENGINEER BY
TRADE.
TRADE. HIS BOOK IS CALLED "SPACEMAN AN
ASTRONAUT’S UNLIKELY JOURNEY TO
UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF THE
UNIVERSE".
UNIVERSE". >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> I WAS THE RIPE OLD AGE OF 10.
YOU WERE 6.
I REMEMBER MY MOTHER IN TEARS.
I REMEMBER WATCHING IT ON A
SMALL BLACK AND WHITE TELEVISION
SET.
SET. WHAT DOES THE LEGACY OF APOLLO
11 MEAN TO A GUY LIKE YOU?
>> IT BRINGS BACK VERY PURE
EMOTIONAL MEMORIES OF THAT TIME
FOR ME.
FOR ME. I KNEW IT WAS AN IMPORTANT
EVENT.
EVENT. TO ME IT WAS SOMETHING REALLY
SPECIAL.
SPECIAL. I THINK IT DEFINED WHAT I
THOUGHT ABOUT THE WORLD, WHO I
WANTED TO BE WHEN I GREW UP.
I KNEW IT WAS IMPORTANT TO A LOT
OF PEOPLE.
OF PEOPLE. I ALSO KNEW TO ME IT SEEMED A
LITTLE BIT MORE.
IT MEANT A LITTLE MORE THAN IT
MEANT TO OTHERS.
I THINK IT’S THE GREATEST
ACHIEVEMENT WE EVER HAD.
I REMEMBER AS A KID THINKING
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
THAT HAPPENED IN 500 YEARS AND
IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
THAT WILL HAPPEN FOR THE NEXT
500 YEARS.
500 YEARS. 500 YEARS FROM NOW KIDS WILL BE
LEARNING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED 50
YEARS AGO TOMORROW.
>> LAST NIGHT ON THIS BROADCAST
I TALKED ABOUT THE COURAGE OF
ALL OF THIS, AN ASPECT I DON’T
THINK GETS ENOUGH ATTENTION.
WHILE THERE WAS A BUTTON TO PUSH
ON THE DASHBOARD THERE WAS NO
GUARANTEE THEY WERE COMING BACK.
THOSE ROCKETS HAD NEVER FIRED
OFF THE SURFACE OF THE MOON
BEFORE.
BEFORE. MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS, AN
ENGINEER BY TRADE M.I.T.
COLUMBIA TYPE WITH AN INTELLECT
WE CAN STAND BACK AND BE AMAZED
AT, WHERE DID YOU LEARN COURAGE?
YOU GOT INTO A SPACECRAFT THAT
HAD GOT INTO A SPACECRAFT THAT
HAD EXPLODED BEFORE?
WHERE DID YOU LEARN ALL THAT?
YOU WEREN’T A JET JOCKEY.
>> I WASN’T.
IT WAS A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR ME.
A LOT OF MY FRIENDS FOR MILITARY
TEST PILOTS.
TEST PILOTS. HAD FOUGHT IN COMBAT AND THEY
WERE USED TO THIS MORE THAN I
WAS.
WAS. I THINK WHAT GOT ME THROUGH THIS
WAS HAVING THE DREAM OF WANTING
TO GO TO SPACE AND SEEING THERE
WAS A REAL PURPOSE IN IT.
I THINK THAT PASSION AND THE
MEANINGFULNESS IN WHAT YOU’RE
DOING CAN TAKE YOU A LONG WAY TO
TAKE THOSE RISKS.
IN MY CASE, WHAT I REALLY FELT
ABOUT THE SPACE PROGRAM WAS WHAT
WE WERE DOING WAS THAT IMPORTANT
THAT IT WAS WORTH THE RISKS WE
ARE TAKING.
ARE TAKING. THE OTHER THING THAT WAS KIND OF
STRANGE, I NEVER THOUGHT OF HOW
I WOULD REACT TO SOME OF THESE
THINGS BUT WHEN YOU’RE IN THE
SITUATIONS AND IT’S RISKY OR YOU
GET SCARED YOU REALIZE GETTING
SCARE SECOND DOWN NOT GOING TO
HELP.
HELP. IF YOU’RE TRYING TO SOLVE A
PROBLEM, IF YOU’RE IN A
DANGEROUS SITUATION, IT’S NOT
GOING TO HELP YOU TO BE NERVOUS
OR SCARED.
OR SCARED. I DON’T KNOW WHY THAT HAPPENED.
I NEVER EXPECTED IT TO HAPPEN.
THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN
I WAS NERVOUS OR SCARED ABOUT
SOMETHING.
SOMETHING. IT KIND OF WENT AWAY.
>> IN CITING BOTH TOM HANKS AND
JOHN GLENN, YOUR BOOK BECAUSE OF
YOUR OWN WIRING DOES THE BEST
JOB OF TALKING ABOUT WHAT IT’S
LIKE UP THERE.
WHAT TRYING TO SLEEP YOUR FIRST
NIGHT IS LIKE.
WHAT TRYING NO AT TO ERP YOUR
FIRST DAY IS LIKE.
HOW DO YOU ANSWER THE WHAT IT’S
LIKE QUESTION?
LIKE QUESTION? >> IT’S A MIXTURE OF THINGS.
I THINK THERE’S A BIT OF STRESS
INVOLVED BECAUSE YOU WANT TO DO
YOUR JOB WELL.
THIS IS THE UNCERTAINTY OF HOW
IT’S GOING TO GO.
THE DANGER IS GOING TO GET TO
YOU?
YOU? IS IT GOING TO BE A BAD DAY OR
GOOD DAY WHEN YOU LAUNCH?
HOW IS THE MISSION GOING TO GO?
YOU’VE GOT THE STRESSFUL PART OF
IT, BUT IT’S ALSO VERY MAGICAL.
GETTING A CHANCE TO DO THAT WAS
ALSO VERY MAGICAL.
WHAT YOU SEE UP THERE, THE
BEAUTY OF OUR PLANET LOOKS LIKE
A PARADISE.
A PARADISE. GETTING OUT SPACE WALKING IT’S
LAKE A PLAYGROUND.
YOU GO OUTSIDE AND THE WHOLE SKY
OPENS UP.
OPENS UP. THAT’S WHAT GOING INTO SPACE WAS
LIKE.
LIKE. THE WHOLE UNIVERSE OPENS UP TO
YOU.
YOU. I FELT LIKE A SPACEMAN BEING OUT
THERE.
THERE. IT’S WONDERFUL EXPERIENCES.
I ALSO ENJOYED A LOT OF
