The space shuttle and the apollo program and the omission from nasa, incredible reentry. if north korea has developed a weapon that could be put on top of a intercontinental ballistic missile they had the reentry vehicle to send it back into the atmosphere, then that means we are in a step that is very close to the go, no-go in a u.s. response will be. for this missile to go high into space as it did, it could put that again into a traditional icbm trajectory. that missile could go an awfully lo...

Hi there Im always fun in the early 1960 s. I was an astronaut candidate in the United States of America taking the same physical tests as the men who later made history by walking on the lunar surface if that private program had been cancelled I might have been the 1st woman to walk on the moon but now in nearly 50 years later the whole world was to go back we have a gas station in the sky with water on the moon and a resource that can help us create a permanent spacefaring species wherever pa...

First time weve had a capsule in the ocean with astronauts in it in a very long time, since the apollo program. >> 3, 2, 1 -- and liftoff. >> reporter: the watches will be from the kennedy space center in florida, just as during this test launch three years ago. giant parachutes covering the size of a football field slowed the capsule from 20,000 miles an hour to a safe water landing. which brings us back to the waters of galveston, where the astronauts simulate the splash down after a flight ar...

Apollo program was my inspiration, and that was when it became a dream to become an astronaut. but i dont really think it became a goal until i graduated from high school, when the first female astronauts were selected. and seeing those role models, and with the encouragement of my parents and various mentors in college and graduate school, and when i started working at rice, thats what made it possible, i think, to become an astronaut. and it took me a lot longer to become an astronaut than i e...

Now to our lead, these are stories we think are not getting enough attention. a rough road lead to the stars. it is also the title of a new kennedy space center tribute. the three men were killed a half century ago today during what was supposed to be a routine count down simulation. because of their sacrifice, nasa was able to pave a safer and much more reliable road to the moon. >> apollo astronauts lose their lives in a tragic flash fire aboard the grounded space capsule. >> it was supposed t...

Really means a lot. fate played such a big part in my life over the last 80 years, 81 tomorrow, by the way. and nostalgia. when i walk through the cemetery at arlington, i say why, why me? why not? why are they here -- brings back a lot of memories. >> neil: i dont want to give it away. the cemetery youre referring to, a lot of the astronauts and heros that died before you. you were visiting the apollo 1 fire victim. that was at a time when most thought the apollo program was finished. you and y...

The moon itself. your story was a heroic story in its own right. many had given up on you and your crew mates and didnt think you would ever get back. but you did. it spoke of a time where great things are possible. i dont want to, you know, be debby downer and say were not up to that task anymore but we seem to have forgotten it. >> we have. its been 47 years since weve been to the moon. i think neil and gene and i were vocal and trying to persuade nasa at that time to have a more active progra...
