Part I Getting ready

Thirty-five years ago, on July 20, 1969, humans first set foot on another world. U.S. Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong descended from a landing craft named "Eagle" to become the first person to step on the moon, a momentous event he eloquently consecrated.

"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,"

During their two-and-a-half hour moonwalk, the Apollo crewmen planted the U.S. flag

in the soil and received a phone call from President Richard Nixon, who paid tribute to what he called their immense feat.

"Because of what you have done, the heavens have become a part of man's world. For one priceless moment in the whole history of man, all the people on this Earth are truly one, one in their pride in what you have done,"

21.5 hours after descent, astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin fired their ascent rockets and rejoined Michael Collins aboard the orbiting "Columbia" command module for the flight home, establishing forever what Mr. Armstrong has called Apollo 11's lasting legacy.

"The important achievement of Apollo was a demonstration that humanity is not forever chained to this planet, and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited,"

Part II Standing on the moon

A.3.07

On February 4, 1971, Alan Shepard, commander of the Apollo 14 space mission, became the fifth person to walk on the moon. He and fellow astronaut Edgar Mitchell spent nine hours and twenty-three minutes in space suit on lunar surface. Their major job was to gather and photograph samples of the materials on the moon’s surface, including rocks and stones, to take back to geologists on earth.

When he was asked about his lunar experience, Mitchell said,” What it did for me is really force me to get a picture of the universe from a totally different perspective and the start to question our conventional ways of looking at ourselves, our place in the universe, our place in life, what it’s all about.”

A year and a half earlier, on July 20, 1969, the astronauts of Apollo 11 had made the first landing on the moon. At that time, Commander Neil Armstong was the first person to walk on the moon. As he took his first step out of the lunar module, he radioed these words to the earth:” That’s one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.”

In a July 1994 interview with a writer for the New York Times, Alan Shepard talked about looking at earth:”I remember being struck by the fact that it looks so peaceful from that distance, but remembering on the other hand all the confrontation going on all over that planet and feeling a little sad that people on planet Earth couldn’t see that same sight because obviously all the military and political differences become so insignificant seeing it from the distance.”

In the interview with Alan Shepard that you will hear on the radio program Fresh Air, he reminisces with Terry Gross about his adventure on the moon.

B.

T: What surprised you most about how the surface the moon looked?

A: I don’t think we had any surprises about the actual surface of the moon—about the barrenness. We had looked at picture of our landing site taken by previous missions. We had worked with models that were made from those pictures. We knew the general configuration of where the craters were supposed to be. We knew the objective of Cone Crater, which was the one we climbed up the side of to get rock samples.

There weren’t any surprises there. the surprise I had was standing on the surface after we’d been there for a few minutes, having a chance to rest a little bit, and looking up at the earth for the first time—you have to look up because that’s where it is. And the sky is totally black, and here you have a planet which is four times the size of moon as we look at it from earth, and you also have color. You have a blue ocean(s) and the brown landmasses—the brown continents—and you can see ice on the caps on the North Pole, and so on.

It’s just an absolute, incredible view, and then you say—ah—hey—um—that looks a little small to me .It looks like it—it does have limits. It’s a little fragile. You know, down here we think it’s infinite. We don’t worry about resources--.un. Up there you’re saying,” Gosh, you know, it’s a shame those folks down there can’t get along together—ah—and think about trying to conserve, to save what limited resources they have.” And it’s just very emotional. I actually shed a couple of tears looking up at the earth and having th …… 此处隐藏：7636字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
