Unit 10 A Glimpse of the Age



Part I Getting ready



In 1969, one of the greatest technological achievements of the


human race was accomplished. A human first set foot on another


celestial body.




Audioscript





Thirty-five years ago, on July 20. 1969. humans first set foot on another


world. U.S. Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong descended from a


landing craft named


moon, a momentous event he eloquently consecrated.





During their two-and-a-half hour moonwalk, the Apollo crewmen


planted the U.S. flag in the soil and received a phone call from


President Richard Nixon, who paid tribute to what he called their


immense feat.




man's world. For one priceless moment in the whole history of man, all


the people on this Earth are truly one, one in their pride in what you


have done.



21.5 hours after descent, astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin fired their


ascent rockets and rejoined Michael Collins aboard the orbiting



what Mr. Armstrong has called Apollo 11's lasting legacy.




humanity is not forever chained to this planet, and our visions go rather


further than that and our opportunities are unlimited.



Part II Standing on the moon



Alan Shepard is a U.S. astronaut, who walked on the moon in 1971.


In an interview, Alan Shepard reminisced about his experience on


the moon.




Audioscript





On February 4, 1971, Alan Shepard, commander of the Apollo 14 space


mission, became the fifth person to walk on the moon. He and fellow


astronaut Edgar Mitchell spent nine hours and 2 3 minutes in space suits


on the lunar surface. Their major job was to gather and photograph


samples of the materials on the moon's surface, including rocks and


stones, to take back to geologists on earth.



When he was asked about his lunar experience, Mitchell said,


did for me is really force me to get a picture of the universe from a


totally different perspective and then start to question our conventional


ways of looking at ourselves, our place in the universe, our place in life,


what it's all about.



A year and a half earlier, on July 20, 1969, the astronauts of Apollo 11


had made the first landing on the moon. At that time, Commander Neil


Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon. As he took his first


step out of the lunar module, he radioed these words to the earth:




In a July 1994 interview with a writer for the New York Times, Alan


Shepard talked about looking at earth:


fact that it looks so peaceful from that distance, but remembering on the


other hand all the confrontation going on all over that planet and feeling


a little sad that people on planet Earth couldn't see that same sight


because obviously all the military and political differences become so


insignificant seeing it from the distance.



Audioscript





T -- Terry Gross A -- Alan Shepard



T




What surprised you most about how the surface of the moon


looked?



A




I don't think we had any surprises about the actual surface of the


moon -- about the barrenness. We had looked at pictures of our


landing site taken by previous missions. We had worked with


models that were made from those pictures. We knew the general


configuration of where the craters were supposed to be. We knew


the objective of Cone Crater, which was the one we climbed up


the side of to get rock samples. There weren't any surprises there.


The surprise I had was standing on the surface after we'd been


there for a few minutes, having a chance to rest a little bit, and


looking up at the earth for the first time -- you have to look up


because that's where it is. And the sky is totally black, and here


you have a planet which is four times the size of the moon as we


look at it from the earth, and you also have color. You have a blue


ocean(s) and the brown landmasses -- the brown continents -- and


you can see ice on the ice caps on the North Pole, and so on. It's


just an absolute, incredible view, and then you say -- ah -- hey --


um -- that looks a little small to me. It looks like it -- it does have


limits. It's a little fragile. You know, down here we think it's


infinite. We don't worry about resources um. Up there you're


saying,


get along together -- ah -- and think about trying to conserve, to


save what limited resources they have.


emotional. I actually shed a couple of tears looking up at the earth


and having those feelings.



Part III Nelson Mandela -- The Father


of South Africa




freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd


still be in prison,


prisoner- turned-president reconciled South Africa after the end of the


apartheid. He held a special place in the consciousness of the nation and


the world. On the evening of 5 December, 2013, Nelson Mandela joined


the ancestors.



Audioscript





Just before midnight local time in South Africa, President Jacob Zuma


appeared on national television to announce that the father of modern


South Africa had died. Nelson Mandela was 95.



Jacob Zuma: Fellows of Africans, our beloved Nelson Rolihlahla


Mandela, the founding president of our democratic nation, has departed.



Nelson Mandela had been suffering from a lung infection for some time.


He spent three months in hospital earlier this year before being allowed


home for treatment in September. The news of his death may have been


expected, but that didn't soften the blow for many South Africans.



The South African president Jacob Zuma made a televised speech


announcing details of Mr Mandela's funeral.



Jacob Zuma: He'll be laid to rest on the 15th of December in Qunu in


the Eastern Cape Province. We should all work together to organize the


most befitting funeral for this outstanding son of our country and the


father of our young nation.



Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in jail, imprisoned by the white


minority government to serve his efforts to fight injustice of apartheid.


By the time he gained his freedom in 1990, he'd captured the


imagination of people around the world. His greatest achievement was


to then take South Africa into a new era without the widespread


bloodshed that had been feared.



The memorial service for former South African President Nelson


Mandela is set to be one of the largest gatherings of its kind in


generations. Tens of thousands of mourners and almost 100 foreign


leaders are expected to attend the event at the FNB stadium in


Johannesburg.



Audioscript





The person I admire most in the world is Nelson Mandela. He was the


President of South Africa during the 1990s, but before that he spent


more than 25 years, I think, in prison. He was put in prison because of


his political beliefs. He wanted to get equal rights for black people in


South Africa, and the government put him in prison because of his


political views ... um ... he was a lawyer before he went to prison and he


represented himself at his trial. Some of the things he said during his


trial were amazing. They're still famous speeches, I think.



The reason that I admire him is that in spite of the fact that he spent


such a long time in prison he never changed his views. It would've been


quite easy for him to perhaps stop campaigning for the rights of black


people, but he never did that. Right until the end of his time in prison,


he was still campaigning. When I went to South Africa, I met somebody


who was in prison with him and it was amazing to hear about how they


were ... they found it so easy to forgive the government and the people


who'd put them in prison, they weren't bitter or angry about it.
