the white area there?
:07:02
That's the Sea of Tranquility...
:07:04
and your mountain's right there
on the edge of that.

:07:06
It's your mountain.
Your mountain, Marilyn. Mount Marilyn.

:07:09
I don't see it.
:07:13
Well, you gotta look harder.
:07:18
You'-'- You'-'- You look harder...
:07:22
'- Jim.
'- while I'-'-

:07:25
Jim!
:07:27
Groovin'
:07:29
Down a crowded avenue
:07:34
The astronaut is only
the most visible member...

:07:37
of a very large team, and all of us
down to the guy sweeping the floor...

:07:42
are honored to be a part of it.
:07:44
What did the man say? "Give me a lever
long enough and I'll move the world"?

:07:47
That's what we're doing here.
This is divine inspiration.

:07:50
It's the best part of each one of us,
the belief that anything is possible.

:07:55
Things like a computer
that can fit into a single room...

:07:59
and hold millions of pieces
of information...

:08:02
or the Saturn 5 rocket.
:08:05
This is the actual launch vehicle
that will be taking Alan Shepard...

:08:08
and his crew on the first leg
of the Apollo 13 mission.

:08:12
When are you
going up again, Jim?

:08:15
I'm slated to be the commander
of Apollo 14 sometime late next year.

:08:20
If there is an Apollo 14.
:08:22
Jim, people in my state have been
asking why we're continuing...

:08:28
to fund this program now that we've
beaten the Russians to the moon.

:08:31
Imagine if Christopher Columbus
had come back from the new world...

:08:35
and no one returned
in his footsteps.

:08:37
Attention, all personnel.
Clear level three.

:08:41
Are there any other questions?
:08:44
How do you go
to the bathroom in space?

:08:46
Well, I tell you,
it's a highly technical process...

:08:49
of cranking down the window and
looking for a gas station, which, uh'-'-

:08:53
Oh, there's Deke Slayton.
:08:56
Deke, you might be able
to answer this lady's question.

:08:59
Deke is one of the original Mercury
seven astronauts, ladies and gentlemen.
