인간 달 착륙 40주년 기념일

 

And on this 40^th anniversary of the first moon walk, the president welcomed the crew of Apollo 11 to the White House to talk about the future of space flight. 40 years after those triumphant first steps on the moon, “That’s one small step for man,” astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins and Neil Armstrong were honored by a president who was seven years old when Apollo 11 made history. But the celebration is tempered완화된 by disappointment that America in the four decades since has not probed탐험 deeper into the unknown.

 

Buzz Aldrin who was the second man to step on the moon wants America to be first on Mars. “To me, exploration is going to some place you haven’t been before.” Gene Cernan, the mast man to walk on the moon in 1972 says the spirit of Apollo has been lost. “And I really believed that we’d be back to the moon by end of that decade and on our way to Mars by the turn of the century.”

 

While the president has called for a return to the moon by 2020, funding is already being cut. Budget pressures, though, are nothing new. For America, the moon landing was the payoff클라이막스. Aldrin says it should have been the beginning. "We lit the engine and we opened the door to the future of exploration.” 40 years later, that future seems less clear than it was that July night in 1969. Bob Orr, CBS News, Washington.

 

The stars, the moon, the earth. They all seemed to be aligned일직선으로 하다 on this anniversary of lunar landing. And it comes as we’re remembering the man who took us there and back. Walter Cronkite. So we leave you tonight with Walter and man’s greatest achievement in space.

 

“I believe that this nation should commit itself.” “Achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.” “Good morning. Man is about to launch himself on a trip to the moon from this Florida launch complex.” “Astronauts Armstrong, Collins and Aldrin sitting there atop in their command module.” “2. 1. 0. Lift off. We have a lift off.”
