Of course he gets on the surface and he's the first to be on the lunar surface
00:00:20.186 --> 00:00:24.686
I think that Ron Howard captured my thoughts very distinctly here
00:00:26.108 --> 00:00:29.236
as he goes in close to my face
00:00:29.032 --> 00:00:32.614
and sees how much I really wanted to do the same thing
00:00:32.698 --> 00:00:34.324
38 year old American

Will I ever really go back to the moon
00:00:38.746 --> 00:00:41.582
on this July 20 1969
00:00:41.665 --> 00:00:44.918
At this time I was slated to go on Apollo 14
00:00:45.878 --> 00:00:47.504
a long ways away
00:00:47.588 --> 00:00:49.756
one giant leap for mankind
00:00:51.383 --> 00:00:54.026
I realized now I'd never be the first guy on the moon
00:00:54.345 --> 00:00:57.431
but maybe I would be sometime down the road there
00:00:57.515 --> 00:00:59.058
to land on the moon
