Wow small steps to giant leaps that is the theme this week Tony and this is really a milestone anniversary for CIE it is ten years I mean it's it's been a kind of a long journey so to speak what's kind of ironic is our very very first year
your one we only had one speaker it yeah we had the whole lot of keynotes or a whole lot of breakout sessions help by d-mac faculty then we had one keynote session that was Alan bean fourth man welcome Yeah right okay so Alan spoke twice and then we've
grown from that to where we are today how about that why is it so important to debris in some of these folks to speak to you know I've always been a believer that the best way to inspire people is through storytelling and there's something unique about seeing somebody
and hearing your story live and in person it's like a song on a radio you hear us on the radio it's like yeah I like the song but when you see them in concert now you have a direct emotional connection to that song now you remember you recall
better so when you hear a summary story live you know in person it makes it a much more impactful you know kind of a guide for your life and I will tell you and orally we've had so many stories of people whose this has changed your life one
way or another incredible and you mentioned that seeing somebody and talk about what they are going to be speaking about see him in person folks you had a chance to meet the guy that had that video that created that video what will keeps was here yesterday talking about
that he spoke yesterday speaking a little bit later on this week as well will show you that but that really does make a difference does it does I mean it directly impacts people's lives one case in point again it this happens would be a similar space example we
have a lot more than just face but a few years ago we had Cassie Lee she's an engineer at SpaceX now she's a Vulcan Space Systems but Paul Allen's company she's from but she's at the what's the one belly grant and she went off and became an aerospace
engineer and she's she's a wonderful person and she spoke about the her career at her path and we had a young lady in the audience who was in high school senior had no idea what you wanted to do she had no idea she'd give him be an aerospace
engineer and when she heard Cassie speaks she that would spy her in now she with the college becoming became one that's now you're gonna be speaking inspiring people a little later around today I'm doing a luncheon luncheon talk today at noon it's uh it's only talk we have
today but I'm doing a talk on the the secret to achieve you anything great okay so that's on the game plan here today a little after lunchtime ternoon is when this gets underway so this is going to be the warm-up act so to speak for the the main
event are coming up this week and folks it is so cool that we're celebrating 50 years of the Apollo program and we have a couple of Apollo Ashlin that's joining us in studio right now and we're gonna go and we're going order of when the blendy and the
the capsules launched okay so Apollo 7 that's it and I'll point over the wall Apollo 7 is what we're talking about first and as an added bonus folks how cool is it that we could say in Iowan is in their realm is in our midst and Walt Cunningham
thank you so much for being here I I'm proud of being an Iowa but I didn't escape I was until I was about seven years old but you were born how everybody where you're born that's born in Creston Iowa and I was the first Iowan that flew in
space and the other day I was checking to see well who else got news to others and you've had I think six people from Iowa now have flown to space and it been up in this was a lot of years of past well a couple well the 50th
anniversary of our mission that was six months ago right that was back in what October October okay and it would a celebration that was and we believe we have some footage of that that that flight that everybody talked about and you said that really this was the the
third attempt of getting a man in space in the Apollo from well yes and it's it's hard for people to understand cuz that's what comes out about it but we run what was going to be Apollo 2 and we worked with a contractor and we have to schedule
delayed so much that after seven months they cancelled Apollo – then we became – backed up on Apollo one and three months later that crew died and fire on the pad so we then inherited that mission and the thing is it's kind of interesting is how long it
took to be the first talk about you know you know groundbreaking activities that you did you spent a lot of time up there how much time I mean how many miles did you log up in that first trip that you want that test drive so to speak Oh
I was 11 days for a while it was the longest Apollo mission but then I we've had several missions over longer than that but I calculated one time that at 50 cents a mile would have been four and a half million dollars that's a nice little well I
also calculated how much I really earned because I I went to work for NASA at thirteen thousand and fifty dollars a year and when I left there eight years later I was all the way up to 25,000 Wow so it's a Liberty business yeah and at ten cents
at during the flight I calculated and I've made six hundred and sixty dollars is that amazing to travel that much and and be as such a landmark in history space history well I'm glad that I had a small piece to play in that's all it is yeah I
was trying to make things ready for al well again you know al you're your flight again Apollo 15 is what we're talking about here and you were the command module pilot right correct okay and that was in nineteen seventy years walk years was early and so yours was
one seventy one three years later right three years later right and this was a really one that stands out too from a lot of the other Apollo flights too because well you had the free up deep space walk is that right well there were a lot of things
that were first on my flight I think primarily we carried a lot of extra equipment that had never been carried before we carried a lunar rover right the little electric car they had on the surface okay and we carried a scientific instrument module into lunar orbit that I
used during the orbital phase the three years that I three days I was there by myself to photograph the moon and a remotely sensed the surface of the Moon so there was a lot of a lot of firsts on a flight a lot of things that that we
did know at this time now is that you yeah unfortunately yeah that is you yeah and you were also considered one of the longest isolated humans too is that cool then my babe well they say that I have a here's a good way I have a Guinness world
record for being the most isolated man in his time talking about yeah okay and and that was at the moon I have a Guinness record for doing the first deep space a VA or spacewalk mm-hmm a world record for doing something at the moon and I can't I
have a hard time reconciling but that's the way the world goes yeah I wonder what its gonna be like when we go to Mars we gonna call it world records yeah may never know you won't you won't be around to know what we won't be around for that
oh yeah go near is that far over yes we got a lot of problems to solve to get the Mars really no big big huge problem radiation radio never thought about radiation we get outside the the Earth Moon complex itself right on way to Mars we're going to
be totally exposed to solar energy and in the earth boot system we're not we've got some protection but when we go out to Mars it's going to be full blast solar radiation ever even figure out a way to mitigate shield from that what's your today the way they
talk about it they don't even bring up that and they talk about going there in five or six years it's not going to happen we also in my opinion have had the best unmanned exploration of another body Crick by far I mean we know so much more about
Mars than we ever knew about the moon when we think that's the bottom it's a real question probably yeah now we do have some commercial companies that are talking about sending hordes of people to Mars right I think I think I think the people run those companies should
be here for CI week you think yeah I think I think they need a byte of reality yeah again Ellen is joining us I hear until Apollo 15 you know what Cunningham Apollo 7 and you guys are going to be speaking tomorrow this is part of a part
of the the CI week a presentation as we're celebrating 50 years of the Apollo program look at all these folks that are up there Tony tell us who else is gonna be there well we have Fred Haise who was part of Apollo 13 and of course if you
