You wanna show NASA
where its 500 million is going?

:19:28
Yeah. I wanna show my kids
where I was while they were growing up.

Every LEM would have to be handmade.
:19:48
There was no supplier
to order LEM parts from.

:19:51
And because everything on a LEM
was new, everything had to be tested...

:19:54
and tested again.
:19:56
The thrusters...
:19:58
the engines...
:20:02
the deployment of the landing gear.
:20:05
We had to know how a LEM would react...
:20:07
when exposed to intense sunlight
or when pelted with dust.

:20:12
We had to know how the landing gear
would perform coming down on a slope.

Thousands of tests day after day...
:20:20
for years.
:20:26
Some of the tests went well.
:20:30
And some did not.
