拉尔夫·阿伯内西：我们可能从今天开始前往火星、木星甚至更远的天空，但只要种族主义、贫困、饥饿和战争在地球上盛行，我们作为一个文明国家就失败了。
Heywood Broun : Some of us think that the tremendous interest in space travel is, in a sense, a search for another Eden – that man has a kind of guilt about the world in which he lives and that he has despoiled the place where he is, and that perhaps he ought now in his maturity to set out to find another place, a place which man could go to, leaving behind the rusty cage in which his own mistakes have held him.
海伍德·布劳恩：我们中的一些人认为，从某种意义上说，对太空旅行的巨大兴趣是寻找另一个伊甸园——人对他所生活的世界有一种负罪感，他掠夺了他所在的地方，也许他现在应该成熟起来，出发去寻找另一个地方，一个人可以去的地方，离开他自己的错误囚禁他的生锈的牢笼。

这种声音可能只不过是一种识别手段，一种跟踪沙滩球大小的金属球的方式，因为它每天绕地球十六圈，速度比任何人飞行的速度快十几倍。
Ed Buckbee : The night that Sputnik was launched I was on the newspaper desk and lo and behold the flash came across, Russia has launched Sputnik and we couldn’t figure out the spelling of Sputnik we couldn’t figure out what Sputnik meant.
艾德·巴克比：Sputnik 发射的那天晚上，我在报纸桌上，你瞧，闪光出现了，俄罗斯发射了 Sputnik，我们无法弄清楚 Sputnik 的拼写，我们无法弄清楚 Sputnik 的含义。

This was a scientific satellite launched into orbit.
这是一颗发射进入轨道的科学卫星。
But, it does suggest that the Soviet Union has a rocket that is powerful enough to send a nuclear weapon to the United States.
但是，它确实表明苏联拥有一枚威力足以向美国发射核武器的火箭。
Roger Launius : I mean, we honestly believed that we could be annihilated with nuclear weapons at any time.

但我们不知道狗脑子里装的是什么。
David Brinkley : And now, the Russians are talking about shooting up something that will hit the moon, and possibly, even make some kind of mark on it, visible from the earth, the kind thing that a month ago would have sounded like a joke, but in Washington now anyone who cares to laugh at this does so at his own risk.
大卫·布林克利：现在，俄罗斯人正在谈论发射一些能够撞击月球的东西，甚至可能在月球上留下某种从地球上可见的标记，一个月前这听起来像是一个笑话，但现在在华盛顿，任何愿意嘲笑这件事的人都得自担风险。

沃纳·冯·布劳恩：我相信俄罗斯的概念，正如携带这种动物的二号人造卫星所证明的那样，是非常明确的。
They consider the control of space around the Earth very much like, shall we say, the great maritime powers considered the control of the seas in the 16 th through the 18 th century.
他们对地球周围空间的控制，容我们说，非常类似于 16 至 18 世纪海上强国对海洋的控制。
And they say if we want to control this planet we have to control the space around it.
他们说，如果我们想控制这个星球，我们就必须控制它周围的空间。
Roger Launius : Wernher von Braun was certainly motivated by this desire to explore the heavens, no question about that, but he spent the bulk of his life building ballistic missiles – weapons of war – rather than vehicles of exploration.
罗杰·劳尼乌斯：沃纳·冯·布劳恩的动机无疑是探索天空的渴望，这是毫无疑问的，但他一生的大部分时间都在建造弹道导弹——战争武器——而不是探索车辆。
Wernher von Braun : So as the target finally comes in view, say this is a target, the space station will still be overhead, and the missile will be here.
沃纳·冯·布劳恩：当目标最终出现在视野中时，假设这是一个目标，空间站仍将在头顶上，而导弹将在这里。
So as long as you see the object and can keep track of your missile by means of a radar beacon, you can shoot at it, even if you don’t know the exact location and even if it’s a moving target.
因此，只要您看到该物体并且可以通过雷达信标跟踪您的导弹，即使您不知道确切位置并且即使它是一个移动目标，您也可以对其进行射击。

这完全是疯狂的，但却非常实用。
To make the whole thing serious, to make it creditable, you had to do at least one nuclear test with an actual bomb.
为了让整件事变得严肃、可信，你必须用真正的炸弹进行至少一次核试验。
Everything depended on that, and of course we never got the funds for that first test.
一切都取决于此，当然我们从未获得第一次测试的资金。
That was the breaking point.
这就是转折点。
Air Force Officer : Dr. von Braun, in view of our rapid advances in the field of atomic power, do you feel that there is a possibility of utilizing a series of small atomic explosions to propel this rocket out into outer space?

谢尔盖·赫鲁晓夫：你必须明白，当美国人和俄罗斯开始设计这些洲际弹道导弹时，他们都没有热核弹头。
So they have to have preliminary calculation, how heavy it will be, and Americans calculated that it will be about two tons.
所以他们要初步算一下，有多重，美国人算了一下，大概有两吨。
The Soviet nuclear program calculated it will be about six tons, three times bigger, and this makes the Soviets build this big, absolutely useless ICBM, much bigger than American rockets, but too expensive to be used as a weapon.
苏联核计划计算出它的重量约为六吨，是其三倍，这使得苏联人建造了这种巨大的、绝对无用的洲际弹道导弹，它比美国的火箭大得多，但用作武器太昂贵了。

新闻片旁白：副总统尼克松护送苏联总理赫鲁晓夫在莫斯科索科利尼基公园预展美国博览会。
But on this occasion, traditional diplomacy goes behind the board, and the story of the pair itself is eclipsed by a crackling exchange between Nixon and Khrushchev, begun off camera and finished off before American Ampex color video tape recorders.
但这一次，传统外交在幕后进行，两人的故事本身因尼克松和赫鲁晓夫之间的激烈交锋而黯然失色，这场交锋从镜头前开始，在美国安培克斯彩色录像机前结束。
Every aspect of the Cold War and Soviet-American rivalry is argued in blunt and forthright terms.
冷战和苏美竞争的各个方面都以直率而直白的方式进行了争论。

The object of this program is to put a man in orbit for which an Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile will be used as a carrier.
该计划的目的是将一个人送入轨道，并使用阿特拉斯洲际弹道导弹作为运载工具。
We play the first part in this program in that we will provide some limited rides over ballistic trajectories of a few hundred miles range, to these astronauts to give them a little inkling of what space flight is like.
我们在这个计划中扮演第一部分，我们将为这些宇航员提供一些在数百英里范围内的弹道轨迹上的有限飞行，让他们对太空飞行有一些了解。

参议员约翰·肯尼迪：下一任美国总统肩上的担子将比林肯时代以来任何一位总统肩上的担子更重。
War and peace, the progress of this country, the security of our people, the education of our children, jobs for men and women who want to work, the development of our resources, the symbolic feeling of a nation, the image the nation presents to the world, its power, prestige, and direction – all ultimately will come to rest upon the next president of the United States.
战争与和平、这个国家的进步、我们人民的安全、我们孩子的教育、想要工作的男女的工作、我们资源的开发、一个国家的象征意义、这个国家向世界呈现的形象、它的权力、威望和方向——所有这些最终都将取决于下一任美国总统。

我请求你们加入我们，如果我们成功了，我请求你们加入我们，迎接未来的一切，建设美国，推动美国，振兴我们的国家并将其送入 60 年代。
Vice President Richard Nixon : Now when we have a presidential candidate, for example Senator Kennedy, stating over and over again that the United States is second in space - and the fact of the matter is that the space score today is twenty-eight to eight, we’ve had twenty-eight successful shots, they’ve had eight.
副总统理查德·尼克松：现在，当我们有一位总统候选人，例如肯尼迪参议员，一遍又一遍地宣称美国在太空领域排名第二时，事实是今天的太空得分是二十八比八，我们有二十八次成功射击，他们有八次。
When he states that we’re second in education, when he makes statements like this, what does this do to American prestige?
当他说我们在教育方面排名第二时，当他发表这样的言论时，这对美国的威望有什么影响？
Well it can only have the effect, certainly, of reducing it.
当然，它只能起到减少它的作用。
Senator John Kennedy : Yes, I believe the Soviet Union is first in outer space.
参议员约翰·肯尼迪：是的，我相信苏联在外太空方面是第一。
We may have made more shots, but the size of their rocket thrust and all the rest – you yourself said to Khrushchev, ‘you may be ahead of us in rocket thrust but we’re ahead of you in color television’, in your famous discussion in the kitchen.
我们可能拍摄了更多镜头，但他们的火箭推力和其他所有的大小 - 你自己对赫鲁晓夫说，“你可能在火箭推力方面领先于我们，但我们在彩色电视方面领先于你”，这是你在厨房里著名的讨论。

Senator Hubert Humphrey : We Americans and indeed the people of the free world must understand that science has political implications.
休伯特·汉弗莱参议员：我们美国人以及自由世界的人民必须明白科学具有政治含义。
It means therefore that our own science must be looked upon as to its political effect particularly with the emerging nations – countries that are impressionable, that are new, or emotionalism runs high.

沃纳·冯·布劳恩：但是如果你想去月球，或者登陆月球，或者进入高轨道……
Ed Buckbee : So, Saturn was born.
艾德·巴克比：于是，土星诞生了。
Saturn was von Braun’s baby.
土星是冯·布劳恩的孩子。
He knew that if we start out with a small one and then had a middle sized one and then the big one that we could eventually make that machine go to the moon.
他知道，如果我们从小型机器开始，然后是中型机器，然后是大型机器，我们最终可以让这台机器登上月球。
Wernher von Braun : Well in the simplest terms, Saturn is the most powerful rocket that we’ve ever built on this side of the world and, presumably, the biggest rocket built anywhere, anytime.
沃纳·冯·布劳恩：用最简单的话说，土星是我们在地球这一端建造的最强大的火箭，并且可能是随时随地建造的最大的火箭。
Reporter : Does that mean it’s bigger than anything the Russians have now, as far as we know?
记者：据我们所知，这是否意味着它比俄罗斯现在拥有的任何东西都大？
John Logsdon : Von Braun made, I think, the correct calculation – we should go to the Moon.
约翰·洛格斯登：我认为冯·布劳恩做出了正确的计算——我们应该去月球。

朱尔斯·伯格曼：……在卡纳维拉尔角，今天预定成为美国太空第一人的艾伦·谢泼德穿着闪亮的银色宇航服，从门口爬上梯子，进入拖车，将他带到发射台。
John Logsdon : A number of people in the Kennedy inner circle said, do we really want to do this?
约翰·洛格斯登：肯尼迪核心圈子里的一些人说，我们真的想这样做吗？
Do we want to risk failure on national television, and maybe even killing someone on national television?

So if you could fall back a little bit – give him a break, he’s got a big job to do today.
所以，如果你能稍微退一步——让他休息一下，他今天有一项艰巨的任务要做。
John Logsdon : And Kennedy called down to the Florida launch site, Cape Canaveral, thought about it, finally decided yes, that the risk was acceptable.
约翰·洛格斯登：肯尼迪打电话到佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角的发射场，考虑了一下，最后决定是的，风险是可以接受的。

The speed is picking up to 4500 miles an hour to carry spaceman Shephard 115 miles above the earth.
太空人谢泼德以每小时 4500 英里的速度飞到距地球 115 英里的地方。
Reporter : …Each announcement on Moscow radio has pointed out that America’s first manned venture into space was a brief vertical probe, not an orbital flight.
记者：……莫斯科电台的每条公告都指出，美国首次载人太空探索是一次短暂的垂直探测，而不是轨道飞行。
Jules Bergman : If the missile had blown up, if anything had happened to Alan Sheppard, there’s no telling what the effect would have been on our prestige or our space program.
朱尔斯·伯格曼：如果导弹爆炸了，如果艾伦·谢泼德出了什么事，谁也不知道会对我们的威望或我们的太空计划产生什么影响。
But nothing went wrong.
但没有出什么问题。
Everything went well.
一切都很顺利。
A new spirit has arisen in US missile men and in our capital.

肯尼迪总统：我相信这个国家应该致力于在这个十年结束之前实现将人类送上月球并安全返回地球的目标。
No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind or more important for the long-range exploration of space and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish.
这一时期没有哪个太空项目比这更让人类印象深刻，或者对远程太空探索更重要，也没有哪个太空项目完成起来如此困难或昂贵。
I believe we should go to the moon, but I think every citizen of this country as well as the members of the Congress should consider the matter carefully in making their judgement to which we have given attention over many weeks and months.
我相信我们应该登上月球，但我认为这个国家的每个公民以及国会议员在做出判断时都应该仔细考虑这个问题，我们在数周和数月以来一直在关注这个问题。

John Logsdon : There was a Gallup poll before Kennedy’s speech in May of ’61, where it asked, would you spend 40 billion dollars to go to the Moon, and something like 60% said no. So there was not a groundswell of public demand for a dramatic, expensive space venture.
约翰·洛格斯登：61 年 5 月肯尼迪演讲之前有一个盖洛普民意调查，询问你是否愿意花 400 亿美元去月球，大约 60% 的人表示不会。因此，公众对一项引人注目的、昂贵的太空冒险的需求并没有高涨。

约翰·洛格斯登：现实情况是，众议院中有一位有影响力的议员，名叫阿尔伯特·托马斯，他控制着美国宇航局的资金。
And Mr. Thomas let it be known if there was going to be a next NASA center, it had better be in his district, which was south of Houston.
托马斯先生表示，如果要建立下一个美国宇航局中心，最好是在他所在的地区，即休斯顿以南。

我们在土星 C-1 助推火箭的测试中感受到了地面的震动和空气的破碎，它的威力是约翰·格伦发射的阿特拉斯火箭的许多倍，产生的功率相当于 10,000 辆加速器放在地板上的汽车的功率。
We have seen the site where five F-1 rocket engines, each one as powerful as all eight engines of the Saturn combined, will be clustered together to make the advanced Saturn missile assembled in a new building to be built at Cape Canaveral as tall as a forty-eight-story structure, as wide as a city block and as long as two lengths of this field.
我们已经看到了五个 F-1 火箭发动机的现场，每个发动机的功率相当于土星所有八个发动机的总和，这些发动机将聚集在一起，以便在卡纳维拉尔角建造的一座新建筑中组装先进的土星导弹，该建筑有四十八层楼那么高，有一个街区那么宽，有这片田地的两倍长。
We have had our failures, but so have others, even if they do not admit them, and they may be less public.
我们有过失败，但其他人也有过失败，即使他们不承认，而且可能不那么公开。
To be sure – to be sure, we are behind, and will be behind for some time in manned flight, but we do not intend to stay behind and in this decade we shall make up, and move ahead.
可以肯定的是，我们确实落后了，而且在载人飞行方面还会落后一段时间，但我们不打算落后，在这十年里我们将弥补并继续前进。
We choose to go to the Moon.
我们选择去月球。
We choose to go to the Moon.
我们选择去月球。
We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
我们选择在这十年内登上月球并做其他事情不是因为它们很容易，而是因为它们很困难。
Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we’re willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others too.
因为这一目标将有助于组织和衡量我们最好的精力和技能，因为这一挑战是我们愿意接受的挑战，是我们不愿意推迟的挑战，也是我们打算赢得的挑战，还有其他的挑战。
Many years ago, the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it.

And between neighbors and those friends, we sort of had a circle.
在邻居和那些朋友之间，我们形成了一个圈子。
Most of our friends who were in the military with us were either going to Viet Nam or had been to Viet Nam, and so I thought that was not as positive a Cold War cause as the journey to the Moon.
我们大多数和我们一起在军队服役的朋友要么去过越南，要么曾经去过越南，所以我认为这不像登月之旅那样积极地推动冷战事业。
I thought that had a more positive aspect to it.
我认为这有更积极的一面。
I just felt like it was something that would be a huge gain, whereas Viet Nam was, to me, no gain at all.
我只是觉得这将是一个巨大的收获，而越南对我来说根本没有任何收获。
So that had a lot to do with how I felt about the time, and how I felt about the risk.

Most of the time, the men weren’t there.
大多数时候，男人都不在。

Valerie Anders : They were complicated, very competitive individuals.
瓦莱丽·安德斯：他们是复杂的、非常有竞争力的人。
A lot of ego got mixed in there, and there were lots of women at the Cape and other places that thought it was all very romantic and exciting.
那里混杂着很多自我，在开普敦和其他地方有很多女性认为这一切都非常浪漫和令人兴奋。
And the moms stayed home, you know the moms stayed home and took care of the children and that was sort of mundane for these men that were flying fast airplanes and doing these exciting adventures.
妈妈们呆在家里，你知道妈妈们呆在家里照顾孩子，这对于这些驾驶快速飞机并进行这些令人兴奋的冒险的男人来说有点平凡。

Brainerd Holmes 博士：在过去的六个月里，我们在 NASA 内部进行了一项非常集中的系统工程研究，以确定我们应该承担的任务，即登月任务模式。
In committing this nation to a program which will extend over the next five to ten years, and in which we will spend many billions of dollars, it’s been absolutely essential to determine we’re on the right path.
在让这个国家致力于一项将在未来五到十年内持续、我们将花费数十亿美元的计划时，确定我们走在正确的道路上是绝对必要的。
Buzz Aldrin : When the decisions in Apollo were being made, the strategy of getting to the moon had not been decided.
巴兹·奥尔德林：当阿波罗计划做出决定时，登月策略还没有确定。
Joseph Shea : I think you can now contrast the two landing configurations.
Joseph Shea：我想你现在可以对比两种着陆配置了。
Buzz Aldrin : Basically, the argument was centered around the safety and the desirability of Earth Orbit Rendezvous, instead of the more risky Lunar Orbit Rendezvous.
巴兹·奥尔德林：基本上，争论的焦点是地球轨道交会的安全性和可取性，而不是风险更大的月球轨道交会。
Ed Buckbee : Here is the situation, von Braun wanted to do Earth orbital rendezvous.
艾德·巴克比：情况是这样的，冯·布劳恩想要进行地球轨道交会。
Earth orbital rendezvous means you put everything in Earth orbit, and you assemble it from there, for example, and von Braun wanted to do a space station before going to the Moon.
地球轨道交会意味着你把所有东西都放在地球轨道上，然后从那里组装它们，例如，冯·布劳恩想在去月球之前建立一个空间站。
The old plan was we’ll build a space station in Earth orbit, and then to rendezvous large pieces of equipment and also launch from Earth orbit.
旧计划是我们将在地球轨道上建造一个空间站，然后将大型设备交会并从地球轨道发射。
He was convinced that Earth orbital rendezvous was best for the long term.
他坚信地球轨道交会从长远来看是最好的。
We do that, and then we can go beyond the Moon.
我们这样做了，然后我们就可以超越月球了。
We could go to Mars.
我们可以去火星。
Buzz Aldrin : Sometime, the end of ’62, a decision was made to alter this strategy.
巴兹·奥尔德林：62 年底的某个时候，我们决定改变这一策略。
Brainerd Holmes : We can say today that we have picked a mode by what we call Lunar Orbit Rendezvous.
Brainerd Holmes：今天我们可以说我们选择了一种称为月球轨道交会的模式。
It means taking off from the Earth’s surface and going directly to the moon and then sending in a small vehicle dispatched from the mother spacecraft.
就是从地球表面起飞，直接前往月球，然后再将母飞船派出的小型飞行器送进来。
Well, I’ll ask Dr. Shea to do this – he’s pretty good at it.
好吧，我会请谢伊博士来做这件事——他非常擅长。
Joseph Shea : The basic mission mode calls for a single launch of the vehicle from the pad at the Cape…
Joseph Shea：基本任务模式要求从海角的发射台发射一次车辆……
Buzz Aldrin : Lets break that into segments.
巴兹·奥尔德林：让我们把它分成几个部分。
Buzz Aldrin : You need a spacecraft we can launch him in, and it’ll be the spacecraft that brings him back.
巴兹·奥尔德林：你需要一艘我们可以把他送进去的宇宙飞船，这艘宇宙飞船将把他带回来。
We have another spacecraft that we’ve taken with us, that can make the landing.
我们随身携带了另一艘可以着陆的航天器。
Joseph Shea : And the configuration which we then have, on the way to the moon, is effectively this configuration.
约瑟夫·谢伊：我们在前往月球的途中所拥有的配置实际上就是这种配置。
Once you decide to commit to the lunar surface, you’ll now have your landing legs extended, and then the vehicle will land on the lunar surface.
一旦您决定登陆月球表面，您现在将伸展着陆腿，然后飞行器将降落在月球表面。
Buzz Aldrin : And when it gets to the moon, now it has to leave the decent stage on the moon, bring the assent stage up to join up with the other space craft.
巴兹·奥尔德林：当它到达月球时，现在它必须离开月球上的体面阶段，将同意阶段提升到与其他航天器会合。
Joseph Shea : Assuming everything works, the Lunar Excursion Module will re-orient itself, bring itself to a position where it has a very small velocity error and very small linear displacement from the mother spacecraft, ok, and then….
约瑟夫·谢伊（Joseph Shea）：假设一切正常，月球游览模块将重新定位自己，使其达到一个与母航天器具有非常小的速度误差和非常小的线性位移的位置，好吧，然后......
George Alexander : You could do this, but then you know, the devil was in the details.
乔治·亚历山大：你可以做到这一点，但你知道，细节决定成败。
How do you do it?
你怎么做？
This was not a Yellow Brick Road, from Cape Canaveral to the Moon.
从卡纳维拉尔角到月球，这不是一条黄砖路。
It was a hard march.
这是一次艰难的行军。
There were just problems all the way along.
一路上都有问题。
Reporter : The Apollo, or manned-lunar program is in trouble, deep trouble, and few experts at this missile space center now think the United States will be able to keep its self-imposed deadline of sending men to the Moon before 1970.
记者：阿波罗计划或载人登月计划陷入了麻烦，而且这个导弹航天中心的专家现在几乎没有人认为美国能够遵守其自行设定的 1970 年之前将人类送上月球的最后期限。
The Gemini program in which men must check out their critical rendezvous technique, is now eighteen months behind schedule and slipping even more seriously.
双子座计划中，男人们必须检查他们关键的约会技巧，但现在已经比计划晚了十八个月，而且下滑得更严重。
And most the experts at Cape Canaveral think that President Kennedy was over-confident, in fact was unrealistic, when he established that national goal twenty-eight months ago.
卡纳维拉尔角的大多数专家认为，肯尼迪总统在二十八个月前制定这一国家目标时过于自信，事实上是不切实际的。
John Logsdon : In 1963, severe criticism of Apollo began to emerge from a variety of quarters.
John Logsdon：1963 年，各方面开始出现对阿波罗计划的严厉批评。
So Kennedy was concerned about this growing criticism and about his re-election prospects.
因此，肯尼迪对这种日益增长的批评以及他的连任前景感到担忧。
And in that context, Kennedy returned to the idea of cooperating with the Soviet Union.
在这种背景下，肯尼迪又回到了与苏联合作的想法。
Why not do it together?
为什么不一起做呢？
Including joint missions to the moon.
包括联合登月任务。
John Logsdon : He had first raised it with Khrushchev in June of ‘61.
约翰·洛格斯登：他在 61 年 6 月首次与赫鲁晓夫提出了这个问题。
He met Khrushchev in Vienna ten days after his first Moon speech.
在首次登月演讲十天后，他在维也纳会见了赫鲁晓夫。
Sergei Khrushchev : In 1961 – when they met in Vienna, JFK mentioned this to my father - let’s try to do it together.
谢尔盖·赫鲁晓夫：1961 年，当他们在维也纳见面时，肯尼迪向我父亲提到了这一点 - 让我们尝试一起做。
But my father at the time – he rejected this.
但我当时的父亲——他拒绝了这一点。
And when I ask why – we have to go to the moon, I was enthusiastic – he said, Americans much superior than we are, and if we start work together we’ll not be able to keep everything secret.
当我问为什么时——我们必须去月球，我很热情——他说，美国人比我们优越得多，如果我们开始合作，我们将无法保守一切秘密。
So my father told no – Americans can go ahead without us.
所以我父亲说不——美国人可以在没有我们的情况下继续前进。
John Logsdon : Khrushchev, in 1961, really didn’t know or trust Kennedy, and so didn’t take his cooperative proposal very seriously.
约翰·洛格斯登：1961 年的赫鲁晓夫确实不了解也不信任肯尼迪，因此没有非常认真地对待他的合作提议。
But in ’63 he had come to admire and respect Kennedy and was giving serious consideration to accepting Kennedy’s proposal.
但到了63年，他开始钦佩和尊重肯尼迪，并认真考虑接受肯尼迪的提议。
President Kennedy : Why should man’s first flight to the Moon be a matter of national competition?
肯尼迪总统：为什么人类首次登月应该是一场全国性的竞赛？
Why should the United States and the Soviet Union, in preparing for such expeditions, become involved in immense duplications of research, construction, and expenditure?
为什么美国和苏联在准备此类探险时要进行大量重复的研究、建设和支出呢？
Surely we should explore whether the scientists and astronauts of our two countries indeed, of all the world, cannot work together in the conquest of space.
当然，我们应该探讨我们两国以及全世界的科学家和宇航员是否无法共同努力征服太空。
I include among these possibilities a joint expedition to the Moon.
我将联合月球探险纳入其中。
Sending someday in this decade to the moon, not the representatives of a single nation, but the representatives of all of our countries.
在这十年的某一天，将不是单个国家的代表，而是我们所有国家的代表送上月球。
Sergei Krushchev : It was not propaganda.
谢尔盖·赫鲁晓夫：这不是宣传。
It was part of the Kennedy policy – we can work together.
这是肯尼迪政策的一部分——我们可以共同努力。
Part of my father’s policies was very similar.
我父亲的部分政策非常相似。
My father was ready to go forward.
父亲已经做好了继续前进的准备。
Sergei Krushchev : We will save our resources working with Americans and it will help us politically in the foreign relations with the United States, so let’s do it.
谢尔盖·赫鲁晓夫：我们将节省与美国人合作的资源，这将在政治上帮助我们与美国的外交关系，所以让我们这样做吧。

John Logsdon : He had just been to the cape six days earlier, on November the 16 th .
约翰·洛格斯登：六天前，即 11 月 16 日，他刚刚去过海角。
In those last days before his assassination, he had gone out, much to the dismay of Secret Service officers, and stood under a Saturn 1 rocket on the launch pad, while being briefed by von Braun.
在被暗杀前的最后几天，他走出去，站在发射台上的土星一号火箭下，听取冯·布劳恩的简报，这让特勤局官员非常沮丧。
George Alexander : It’s clear he was interested, because he was pointing at things, asking questions about why this, why that.
乔治·亚历山大：很明显他很感兴趣，因为他指着事物，询问为什么这样、为什么那样。
We only caught occasional words.
我们只听到偶尔的话语。
Just the mere presence of this young, lively, witty President animated that entire group that was around him.
这位年轻、活泼、机智的总统的出现就让他周围的整个团队都充满了活力。
The Gemini spacecraft was brought out for him, and he really wanted to know how the spacecraft would be used and what it would do to meet the challenge.
双子座飞船是给他拿出来的，他很想知道这艘飞船会如何使用，会做什么来应对挑战。
John Logsdon : Kennedy was all fired up, he was really enthusiastic once again about space.
约翰·洛格斯登：肯尼迪非常兴奋，他再次对太空充满热情。
There’s no sign to me that on the morning of November the 22 nd 1963 that John Kennedy was willing to back off.
1963 年 11 月 22 日早上，我没有任何迹象表明约翰·肯尼迪愿意退缩。

我们将继续向包括苏联在内的所有国家伸出合作之手，迎接我们所有人未来激动人心的太空探索岁月。
John Logsdon : In the immediate aftermath of John Kennedy’s assassination, there was a question put to the new President Johnson: What do you want to do about the Kennedy initiative, to do joint missions to the Moon with the Soviet Union?
约翰·洛格斯登：约翰·肯尼迪遇刺后，有人向新任总统约翰逊提出了一个问题：你想对肯尼迪倡议做什么，即与苏联联合执行月球任务？

I think we should not believe that they are suddenly giving up – giving up in this race.
我认为我们不应该相信他们突然放弃了——在这场比赛中放弃了。
I’m convinced that they will make an all-out effort to land on the Moon ahead of us.
我坚信，他们一定会全力以赴，抢在我们之前登陆月球。
We stop racing, they will undoubtedly win.
我们停止比赛，他们无疑会获胜。
Neil Armstrong : That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
尼尔·阿姆斯特朗：这是个人的一小步，却是人类的一大步。
John Logsdon : People didn’t know for sure at the time, but the reality was the Soviet Union didn’t have a Moon program.

Turned out the Soviets were still debating whether to go to the Moon or not.
原来苏联人还在争论是否要登月。
Sergei Khrushchev : My father was pragmatic, so when Korolev came to my father and told, we have to work now on the new N1 launcher to send the men to the Moon, my father told no. First, give me the cost of the project.
谢尔盖·赫鲁晓夫：我父亲很务实，所以当科罗廖夫来找我父亲并告诉我，我们现在必须研制新的 N1 发射器以将人类送上月球时，我父亲拒绝了。首先，请告诉我该项目的成本。

谢尔盖·赫鲁晓夫：此后，他的继任者勃列日涅夫不再数钱了，他告诉你，你想要的一切我都会给你。
George Alexander : From the very beginning, the Russian manned space flight program compiled a very proud list of firsts – the first woman into orbit around the Earth, the first multiple crew, the first spacewalk.
乔治·亚历山大：从一开始，俄罗斯载人航天计划就列出了一系列令人自豪的“第一”——第一个进入绕地球轨道的女性、第一个多名机组人员、第一次太空行走。
These were all very impressive achievements.
这些都是非常令人印象深刻的成就。
It may have been a little bit crude and rough around the edges, but they did it.
它的边缘可能有点粗糙，但他们做到了。
However, the Russians hadn’t at that time mastered the problem of rendezvous and docking – a critical part of the total lunar landing process.
然而，俄罗斯人当时还没有掌握交会对接问题——这是整个登月过程的关键部分。
Alexander : All the steps involved in Apollo, those were all things that had to happen pretty much perfectly, some 230,000 miles away on the Moon.
亚历山大：阿波罗计划涉及的所有步骤，这些事情都必须在大约 230,000 英里外的月球上完美地发生。
And you didn’t want to try to do all those things for the first time so far away from home.
而且你不想第一次在远离家乡的地方尝试做所有这些事情。
Gemini was going to prove the lunar-orbit rendezvous.
双子座将证明月球轨道交会。
Walter Cronkite : This is the equipment that will be the first computer ever put into space in a manned spacecraft.
沃尔特·克朗凯特（Walter Cronkite）：这是有史以来第一台在载人航天器中进入太空的计算机设备。
A ingenious devise which will enable these astronauts to do the thing which Gemini is designed to do, and that’s for the first time to maneuver in outer space so that they can link up with another vehicle out there and build space platforms for future space exploration.
这是一个巧妙的设计，将使这些宇航员能够完成双子座计划要做的事情，这是第一次在外太空进行机动，以便他们可以与那里的另一艘飞船连接起来，为未来的太空探索建造太空平台。
What they will be doing on this GT-3, this first manned Gemini flight, the first maneuver will be to change the orbit…
他们将在 GT-3 上做什么，这是第一次载人双子座飞行，第一个动作将是改变轨道……
Joel Banow : I don’t think there was anybody like Walter Cronkite.

Mark Bloom : We had mixed obligations, I always felt.
马克·布鲁姆：我总觉得我们的义务是复杂的。
We had the obligation to present the enthusiasm– historically, man going to the Moon.
我们有义务表现出人类登月的热情。
That was an amazing thing.
那是一件了不起的事情。
The second part of the story is, we are covering a government agency – NASA – which is spending 24 billion dollars which, in those days, was a huge amount of money.
故事的第二部分是，我们正在报道一个政府机构——NASA——它花费了 240 亿美元，这在当时来说是一笔巨款。
So we had to cover that element to it.
所以我们必须覆盖这个元素。
I don’t think I covered it properly, if anything I erred on the side of covering the adventure.
如果我在报道冒险方面犯了任何错误的话，我认为我没有正确报道它。
David Brinkley : The space program is costing us about five billion dollars a year, and if there is anyone left anywhere who still cares about money, he might reasonably ask what we are getting for all of it.
David Brinkley：太空计划每年花费我们约 50 亿美元，如果还有人仍然关心金钱，他可能会合理地问我们从这一切中得到了什么。
If it is simply a matter of keeping ahead of the Russians in a procession of high-altitude tricks and stunts, it probably isn’t worth it.
如果只是为了在一系列高空特技和特技中保持领先于俄罗斯人，那可能不值得。
It is doubtful that a few points on the international Gallup poll in Asia and Africa, a little increased national prestige in Asia and Africa, it’s doubtful that’s worth more than maybe thirty-five cents.
值得怀疑的是，国际盖洛普民意调查在亚洲和非洲的几个点，在亚洲和非洲的国家威望的一点点提高，值得怀疑的是，它的价值可能超过三十五美分。
If it is simply a matter of displaying our technical expertise by orbiting around the Earth a series of metal tanks carrying men, radios, switches, nobs, and chicken salad in squeeze tubes – that probably isn’t worth the money either.
如果只是通过一系列金属罐绕地球轨道运行来展示我们的技术专长，这些金属罐载着人员、收音机、开关、旋钮和装在挤压管中的鸡肉沙拉——那可能也不值那么多钱。
Brinkley : But there is another element.
布林克利：但是还有另一个因素。
It is said that by exploring space we will increase the sum of human knowledge and perhaps make some basic discoveries – learn some dimensions and insights previously unknown.
据说，通过探索太空，我们将增加人类知识的总和，或许还会做出一些基本的发现——了解一些以前未知的维度和见解。
Bill Anders : NASA was always trying to sell the program.
比尔·安德斯：美国宇航局一直在努力推销这个项目。
And we would go out and talk to kids in schools and we called it the Week in the Barrel.
我们会出去和学校里的孩子们交谈，我们称之为桶中周。
In the old days, in sailing ships, they’d stick one guy in the barrel and he’d have to put his rear end by the hole and everybody would take their turn.
过去，在帆船上，他们会把一个人塞进桶里，他必须把屁股放在洞里，然后每个人都轮流做。
So we had our week in the barrel.
就这样我们在桶里度过了一周。
Ed Buckbee : Astronaut in a barrel – one astronaut per week would be selected, and that astronaut – for one week – they were ours, for speaking engagements, television appearances – whatever.
艾德·巴克比：木桶里的宇航员——每周会选出一名宇航员，而那个宇航员——一周——他们是我们的，可以参加演讲、电视露面——等等。
You know we managed them.
你知道我们管理了他们。
Astronauts hated it.
宇航员讨厌它。
Frank Borman : The astronauts were used as a PR tool by NASA very effectively, and I’ve been on more parades and spoken to more chambers of commerce – you know this was more than just PR.
弗兰克·博尔曼：NASA 非常有效地利用宇航员作为公关工具，我参加了更多的游行并与更多的商会进行了交谈 - 你知道这不仅仅是公关。
This was ingratiating Congressmen to get their support.
这是为了讨好国会议员以获得他们的支持。
Jim Webb : Unless a hundred and forty-one million dollars was restored in the supplemental and the five billion, three hundred and four million dollars approved, we are near the position where we simply will have to say we’re not going to do it this decade.
吉姆·韦伯：除非在补充资金中恢复 1.41 亿美元并批准 50 亿、3.4 亿美元，否则我们将不得不说我们在这十年内不会这样做。
Frank Borman : Mr. Webb used it very, very effectively.
弗兰克·博尔曼：韦伯先生使用它非常非常有效。
Webb understood you had to have the support of the Congress to get this thing done.
韦伯明白你必须得到国会的支持才能完成这件事。

国会议员蒂格：你应该看到他穿着德克萨斯靴子......
Frank Borman : He understood how democracy works.

George Mueller : If I may have the first slide – I thought you might be interested in the rendezvous operation…
乔治·穆勒：请让我看第一张幻灯片——我想你可能对会合操作感兴趣……
Congressman Teague : I think Gemini’s in good shape, but I think the Apollo program is going to have to have more money.
国会议员蒂格：我认为双子座的状况很好，但我认为阿波罗计划必须有更多的资金。
I understand that NASA is hesitant about pestering the bureau of the budget for more money, but if NASA’s going to tell us that we’re not going to get to the Moon by ’70 because of money, I think that the Committee should certainly be aware of it, and that NASA doesn’t come back here later and say we didn’t succeed because the Committee didn’t get the money for them.
我知道 NASA 对纠缠预算局要求更多资金犹豫不决，但如果 NASA 告诉我们，由于资金原因，我们不会在 70 年前登上月球，我认为委员会当然应该意识到这一点，NASA 不会稍后回来说我们没有成功，因为委员会没有为他们提供资金。
Ed Buckbee : I remember being there one day, and as we were breaking up, this Congressman stood up and said, Dr. Von Braun, do you need any more money?
艾德·巴克比：我记得有一天，当我们分手时，这位国会议员站起来说，冯·布劳恩博士，你还需要钱吗？
And I thought, I’ve never heard that comment made.
我想，我从来没有听过这样的评论。

Ed White : Listen, it’s all the difference in the world with this gun.
艾德·怀特：听着，有了这把枪，世界就变得不同了。
When that gun was working I was maneuvering all around.
当那把枪工作时，我正在四处机动。
Michael Collins : We should have paid maybe a little more attention and said, you know, we need some help in terms of tethers, lanyards, hand holds, foot holds, but those were the things we didn’t really think of.
迈克尔·柯林斯：我们也许应该多加注意，并说，你知道，我们需要一些绳索、挂绳、手握点、脚握点方面的帮助，但这些是我们真正没有想到的。

乔治·亚历山大：——所以当休斯顿的美国宇航局控制人员说，好吧，我们已经达到了这次测试的所有目标，回到航天器中时，埃德·怀特说，基本上，不。
Jim Mcdivitt : I don’t know, we’re coming over the (inaudible).
吉姆·麦克迪维特：我不知道，我们正在克服（听不清）。
They want you to come back in now.
他们希望你现在就回来。
Gus Grissom : Roger, we’ve been trying to talk to you for a while here.
格斯·格里森（Gus Grissom）：罗杰，我们已经尝试在这里与你交谈一段时间了。
George Alexander : He stood up to mission control.
乔治·亚历山大：他勇敢地面对任务控制中心。
He became a hero to his fellow astronauts, because so much of their life, by being in the program, was circumscribed.
他成为其他宇航员的英雄，因为参与该计划后，他们的大部分生活都受到了限制。
Reporter : Mrs. White, to you what was the highlight of your husband’s twenty-minute excursion in space today outside the space vehicle?
记者：怀特女士，对您来说，您丈夫今天在航天器外进行的二十分钟的太空旅行中最精彩的部分是什么？
Pat White : Oh, just the whole thing, just knowing he was out there, I knew how thrilled he was to do it.
帕特·怀特：哦，整个事情，只要知道他在那里，我就知道他对此感到多么兴奋。
I’m glad he was able to do it.
我很高兴他能够做到这一点。
Reporter : And the Whites were greeting by neighbors and reporters at their home.
记者：白人夫妇在家中受到邻居和记者的欢迎。
Ed White : …very nice here, I certainly appreciate it.
Ed White：……这里非常好，我当然很感激。
Ed White : Thanks Marty – come on in later on, I’ll tell you some stories.
艾德·怀特：谢谢马蒂——稍后再来，我给你讲一些故事。
Reporter : Soon after returning home, the Whites went swimming in a neighbor’s pool.
记者：回家后不久，怀特一家就去邻居的游泳池里游泳。
Ed Dwight : This confusion about the name with Ed White and Ed Dwight - about the black community getting him mixed up with me, all came to a head when Ed walked in space.
艾德·德怀特：关于艾德·怀特和艾德·德怀特这个名字的困惑——关于黑人社区把他和我混淆的问题，当艾德在太空中行走时，这一切都达到了顶峰。
Ed Dwight : Ed showed up one day - because he was a very, very nice guy - and he brought me two boxes of mail.
艾德·德怀特：有一天艾德出现了——因为他是一个非常非常好的人——他给我带来了两箱邮件。
He said to me, I got two boxes of mail that are really addressed to you and they’re congratulating you, Ed Dwight, as the first African-American to walk in space, confusing you with me.
他对我说，我收到了两箱真正写给你的邮件，他们祝贺你，艾德·德怀特，成为第一个在太空行走的非裔美国人，这让你和我混淆了。
Now I understand why it’s important for you to go into space.
现在我明白为什么进入太空对你来说很重要。
It was twenty years from the time I went into training to the time the first black astronaut was sent into space.
从我开始训练到第一位黑人宇航员被送入太空，已经过去了二十年。
Now twenty years is a long time.
现在二十年是一段很长的时间。
America had to adjust to allow non-white people to go into space, women as well.
美国必须做出调整，允许非白人进入太空，包括女性。
Bill Anders : The primary purpose with regard to Gemini was to demonstrate Earth-orbit rendezvous.
比尔·安德斯：双子座的主要目的是演示地球轨道交会。
And of course, docking was important.
当然，对接很重要。
And all of those things met with a lot of problems.
所有这些都遇到了很多问题。
Even though I had studied orbital mechanics in college, it still is perplexing to me.
尽管我在大学里学过轨道力学，但它仍然让我感到困惑。
There’s so many counterintuitive things.
有很多违反直觉的事情。
You slow down which drops your orbit which means you go around the earth faster, and pretty soon the thing that was in front of you is now above and behind you, and then you can speed up and catch him.
你放慢速度，这会降低你的轨道，这意味着你绕地球运行的速度更快，很快，你前面的东西现在就在你的上方和后面，然后你可以加速并赶上他。
The orbital rendezvous is so counterintuitive that you really had to use the on-board computer in Gemini in order to implement it.
轨道交会是如此违反直觉，以至于你必须使用双子座上的机载计算机才能实现它。
The expert in the group was Buzz Aldrin.
该小组的专家是巴兹·奥尔德林。
Bill Anders : I wouldn’t be surprised if Buzz couldn’t do it in his head.
比尔·安德斯：如果巴兹不能在他的头脑中做到这一点，我不会感到惊讶。
Buzz Aldrin : I’m Lieutenant Aldrin, I just got down off my fifty-sixth mission.
巴兹·奥尔德林：我是奥尔德林中尉，我刚刚完成第五十六次任务。
I’m stationed here at a advance space in Korea, flying with the fifty-first fighter interceptor wing.
我驻扎在韩国的一个先进空间，与第 51 战斗机拦截机联队一起飞行。
We were closing rather rapidly on the MiGs.
我们正在相当快地接近米格机。
I opened up fire on them while they were in this gradual turn.
当他们逐渐转向时，我向他们开火。
Two MiGs were flying and they never saw us, we just snuck up from behind, and as I was coming closer, why, a canopy came off, and then there was a flash, and the ejection seat went, and that was the first time a gun-camera film had ever seen an ejection.
两架米格飞机在飞行，他们从来没有看到我们，我们只是从后面偷偷靠近，当我走近时，天哪，座舱盖脱落了，然后一道闪光，弹射座椅飞了，这是枪机电影第一次看到弹射。
So that made Life magazine.
于是《生活》杂志就这样诞生了。
Later, while I was at MIT, I wrote a thesis called “Line-of-Sight Guidance Techniques for Manned Orbital Rendezvous.” That came from fighter pilot experience, translating fighter pilot intercepts to spacecraft rendezvous.
后来，当我在麻省理工学院时，我写了一篇论文，名为“载人轨道交会的视距制导技术”。这来自战斗机飞行员的经验，将战斗机飞行员的拦截转化为航天器交会。
Neil Armstrong : Hello Houston, this is Gemini 8, we’re stationed keeping on the Agena at about 150 feet.
尼尔·阿姆斯特朗：你好，休斯顿，这里是 Gemini 8，我们驻扎在阿吉纳 (Agena) 约 150 英尺处。
Mark Bloom : Gemini 8 of course was the Neil Armstrong flight where they had the first emergency in space.
马克·布鲁姆：双子座 8 号当然是尼尔·阿姆斯特朗的飞行，他们在太空中遇到了第一次紧急情况。
Mission control : Roger, do you have solid radar lock on with the Agena?
任务控制中心：罗杰，你的 Agena 有固定雷达锁定吗？
Over.
超过。
Armstrong : That’s affirmative.
阿姆斯特朗：这是肯定的。
We have solid radar lock.
我们有坚固的雷达锁。
Paul Haney : Neil Armstrong called in and he was able to confirm at that time that radar lock had been…
保罗·哈尼：尼尔·阿姆斯特朗打来电话，他当时能够确认雷达锁定已经……
George Alexander : The Gemini spacecraft did hook up with an Agena.
乔治·亚历山大：双子座飞船确实与阿吉纳号连接起来。
That was the stand-in for what became the lunar landing module.
这是登月舱的替代品。
Mission control : Let us know what you get out of that.
任务控制中心：让我们知道你从中得到了什么。
Mark Bloom : This emergency occurred when a thruster got stuck open, and they were spinning wildly, and they were in trouble.
马克·布鲁姆：这次紧急情况发生在推进器卡在打开状态时，它们疯狂旋转，它们遇到了麻烦。
Neil Armstrong : We’ve got serious problems here.
尼尔·阿姆斯特朗：我们这里遇到了严重的问题。
We’re tumbling end over end.
我们翻来覆去。
We’re disengaged from the Agena.
我们脱离了阿吉纳。
We’re rolling up and we can’t turn anything off…
我们正在卷起，我们无法关闭任何东西......
Neil Armstrong : …We’re in a violent left roll here at the present time.
尼尔·阿姆斯特朗：……我们现在正处于剧烈的左倾之中。
The RCS is off and we can’t fire it and we apparently have a roll on the stuck hand controller.
RCS 已关闭，我们无法发射它，而且我们显然在卡住的手持控制器上滚动了。
Mark Bloom : When the emergency occurred, I was in Houston and you could hear everything.
马克·布鲁姆：紧急情况发生时，我在休斯顿，你可以听到一切。
Mission control : We can’t seem to get any valid data here.
任务控制：我们似乎无法在这里获得任何有效数据。
It seems to be in a pretty violent tumble right now.
现在似乎正处于相当猛烈的下跌之中。
George Alexander : They were into a really horrific spin, so much so that the astronauts were beginning to feel disoriented.
乔治·亚历山大：他们陷入了非常可怕的旋转，以至于宇航员开始感到迷失方向。
Neil Armstrong : Okay we are regaining control of the spacecraft slowly in RCS direct.
尼尔·阿姆斯特朗：好的，我们正在 RCS 直接慢慢地重新获得对航天器的控制。
Mark Bloom : They were going to abort and that was critical.
马克·布鲁姆：他们要流产了，这很关键。
They had to splash down early.
他们不得不早点下水。
George Alexander : It demonstrated that Neil Armstrong was a superb pilot, a superb judge of mechanical systems.
乔治·亚历山大：这表明尼尔·阿姆斯特朗是一位出色的飞行员，一位出色的机械系统判断者。
God had given it to him with both hands, and he knew how to use that skill.
上帝给了他双手，他知道如何使用这项技能。
He was decisive.
他很果断。
Buzz Aldrin : Lovell and I flew on the last mission of Gemini – Gemini 12.
巴兹·奥尔德林：洛弗尔和我执行了双子座号的最后一次任务——双子座 12 号。
If I hadn’t flown on Gemini, I never would have gotten a choice assignment in Apollo.
如果我没有飞过双子座，我永远不会在阿波罗上获得选择任务。
Jim Lovell : You get in a good position for photography now.
吉姆·洛弗尔：你现在处于摄影的有利位置。
Buzz Aldrin : Well, the space walking in the Gemini program was not very successful as it proceeded along.
巴兹·奥尔德林：嗯，双子座计划中的太空行走在进行过程中并不是很成功。
Michael Collins : We had not in our designs really thought through what happens to objects that bang together in weightlessness.
迈克尔·柯林斯：在我们的设计中，我们并没有真正考虑过在失重状态下碰撞在一起的物体会发生什么。
If I touch that table, I go off in some totally three-dimensional random direction, and very soon you’re just out of control.
如果我触摸那张桌子，我就会朝某个完全三维的随机方向走去，很快你就会失去控制。
Buzz Aldrin : They didn’t want a partial success or failure on the last flight.
巴兹·奥尔德林：他们不希望最后一次飞行取得部分成功或失败。
A lot of things can go wrong.
很多事情都可能出错。
And I said well look, I’ve been a scuba diver and you don’t work against the current you slowly kind of maneuver, and it’s delicate how you move around.
我说，好吧，我曾经是一名水肺潜水员，你不会逆流而行，你会慢慢地进行机动，而且你的移动方式很微妙。
You need to do them delicately, not muscle.
你需要小心翼翼地完成这些动作，而不是肌肉。
Some of the astronauts said, no, no, that’s not going to be any good, there’s a big difference between water and space.
一些宇航员说，不，不，那不会有什么好处，水和太空之间有很大的区别。
But everything I did do worked out so well that neutral buoyancy has ever since been the way you train.
但我所做的一切都很顺利，从此中性浮力就成为了你的训练方式。
Bill Anders : Gemini 12 with Aldrin and Lovell was exceptionally successful.
比尔·安德斯：奥尔德林和洛弗尔的 Gemini 12 非常成功。
Buzz Aldrin : It’s November 11th, Vets Day.
巴兹·奥尔德林：今天是 11 月 11 日，退伍军人节。
Bill Anders : And I hand it to Buzz Aldrin.
比尔·安德斯：我将其交给巴兹·奥尔德林。
He really made advancements on working in space, to try to do things.
他在太空工作、尝试做事方面确实取得了进步。
Buzz Aldrin : This is a little bit harder than it was underwater.
巴兹·奥尔德林：这比在水下要难一点。
Bill Anders : That was the good news.
比尔·安德斯：这是个好消息。
The bad news was they did such a good job that they canceled Gemini 13, which Neil and I were going to fly on.
坏消息是他们做得非常好，以至于他们取消了尼尔和我原本打算乘坐的双子座 13 号航班。
Gameshow host : Well, Mr. Armstrong, your son is one of the two civilians chosen.
游戏节目主持人：嗯，阿姆斯特朗先生，您的儿子是被选中的两名平民之一。
How long has he been flying, sir?
先生，他飞了多久了？
Stephen Armstrong : Since before he was sixteen years of age.
斯蒂芬·阿姆斯特朗：从他十六岁之前开始。
Gameshow host : Before sixteen?
游戏节目主持人：十六岁之前？
This would mean he had his wings before he had his driver’s license.
这意味着他在获得驾驶执照之前就拥有了翅膀。
Right?
正确的？
Gameshow host : Now how would you feel, Mrs. Armstrong, if it turned out, of course nobody knows, but if it turns out that your son is the first man to land on the moon, what – how will you feel?
游戏节目主持人：阿姆斯特朗夫人，如果事实证明这一点，当然没有人知道，但如果事实证明你的儿子是第一个登上月球的人，你会有什么感觉？
Mrs. Armstrong : Well, I guess I’d just say God bless him, and I wish him the best of all good luck.
阿姆斯特朗夫人：嗯，我想我只想说上帝保佑他，祝他好运。
Paul Haney : Well, gentlemen the occasion of course is the naming of the first Apollo flight crew.
保罗·哈尼：嗯，先生们，这次活动当然是为第一批阿波罗机组人员命名。
The crewmen will be Lieutenant Colonel Virgil Gus Grissom, Lieutenant Colonel Edward H.
船员将是维吉尔·格斯·格里索姆中校、爱德华·H·格里索姆中校。
White, and Lieutenant Roger B.
怀特和中尉罗杰·B.
Chaffee.
查菲。
Gus Grissom was the first of the astronauts to make two space flights, and now he will be the commander of the first Apollo flight mission.
格斯·格里森是第一位进行两次太空飞行的宇航员，现在他将成为首次阿波罗飞行任务的指挥官。
Of course you know, Ed White, he’s become a pretty famous man in the last year, and I believe this will be Roger Chaffee’s first space flight.
当然，你知道，埃德·怀特（Ed White），去年他已经成为一个非常有名的人，我相信这将是罗杰·查菲（Roger Chaffee）的第一次太空飞行。
And of course we wish all these men extremely well.
当然，我们祝愿所有这些人一切都好。
Reporter : Could you philosophize on just why you think we should go to the moon?
记者：你能从哲学角度思考一下为什么你认为我们应该去月球吗？
Ed White : I think there are so many questions – so many reasons why we should.
艾德·怀特：我认为有很多问题——有很多我们应该这么做的理由。
And if we don’t try to expand ourself and expand our horizons, which I think the space program is the biggest example of expanding your horizons that man has ever undertaken, we’re not going to progress as a nation.
如果我们不尝试扩展自己并扩展我们的视野（我认为太空计划是人类有史以来扩展视野的最大例子），我们作为一个国家就不会进步。
From all standpoints it’s a good program, and why we want to go to the Moon specifically, well it’s the closest thing, that we haven’t explored, to our Earth, and it’s the first step into understanding the whole universe.
从各个角度来看，这是一个很好的计划，也是为什么我们特别想去月球，它是我们尚未探索过的距离地球最近的物体，也是了解整个宇宙的第一步。
Doris Day (showing NASA facilities to foreign dignitaries): Now this is called the clean room.
多丽丝·戴（Doris Day）（向外国政要展示美国宇航局的设施）：现在这被称为洁净室。
It’s completely sterilized so that no dust or dirt will contaminate the critical parts.
它经过完全消毒，因此不会有灰尘或污垢污染关键部件。
Workers entering the clean room must first stand on this crate, which shakes all the dirt loose from the shoes and the clothing, like this.
进入洁净室的工人必须首先站在这个板条箱上，这样可以抖落鞋子和衣服上所有的污垢。
Um, I think we better move on now, we’ll go in that direction.
嗯，我想我们现在最好继续前进，我们会朝那个方向走。
Doris Day : Well, we had a little trouble with that one didn’t we?
多丽丝·戴：嗯，我们在这个问题上遇到了一点麻烦，不是吗？
As you’ve just seen, when we make a motion picture we can shoot a scene over and over until we get it right.
正如您刚才所看到的，当我们制作电影时，我们可以一遍又一遍地拍摄一个场景，直到我们拍好为止。
Now Saturn and Apollo must be successful the very first time because the astronauts’ lives depend upon it.
现在土星和阿波罗必须在第一次就成功，因为宇航员的生命取决于它。
And from the caliber of people I have met in the aerospace business, and from the quality of the work I saw being done there, I’m certain that it will be successful – and on the very first take.
从我在航空航天行业遇到的人才，以及我所看到的工作质量来看，我确信它会成功——而且是第一次。
So please, all of you, be extra careful.
所以请大家一定要格外小心。
Be extra, extra careful.
要格外、格外小心。
Won’t you?
你不会吗？
Michael Collins : We spent a lot of time out in North American Rockwell.
迈克尔·柯林斯：我们在北美罗克韦尔度过了很多时间。
Spent a lot of time at the factory with the people out in Downey, California, who assembled the actual space craft.
我花了很多时间在工厂里与加利福尼亚州唐尼的人们一起组装实际的航天器。
There was a we-know-better kind of an arrogant attitude on the part of some of the managers, and it was a laid-back well, we’ll get done one way or the other sometime, somehow, attitude on the part of some of the workers.
一些经理有一种我们知道的傲慢态度，而这是一口悠闲的井，我们有时会以某种方式完成工作，不知何故，一些工人的态度。
I think there was not the dedication to the extremely strong work ethic.
我认为没有对极其强烈的职业道德的奉献精神。
Things like, building a good spacecraft instead of worrying about whether you were going to get your camper up into the High Sierras for the weekend.
比如，建造一艘好的宇宙飞船，而不是担心你是否要让你的露营车去高山脉度过周末。
Reporter (interviews with Apollo 1 crew): You flew on Mercury, you flew on Gemini, now you’re flying on Apollo.
记者（阿波罗1号机组人员采访）：你飞过水星，你飞过双子座，现在你飞上了阿波罗。
Is the law of averages, so far as the possibility of a catastrophic failure bother you at all sir?
先生，就灾难性失败的可能性而言，平均法则是否让您感到困扰？
Gus Grissom : No. You sort of have to put that out of your mind.
Gus Grissom：不。你必须把它抛到脑后。
There’s always a possibility that you can have a catastrophic failure, of course.
当然，你总是有可能遭遇灾难性的失败。
This can happen on any flight, it can happen on the last one as well as the first one.
这种情况可能发生在任何航班上，可能发生在最后一个航班上，也可能发生在第一个航班上。
So, you just plan as best you can to take care of all of these eventualities, and you get a well-trained crew, and you go fly.
因此，您只需尽可能做好计划来处理所有这些可能发生的情况，然后您就会得到训练有素的机组人员，然后您就可以起飞了。
Reporter : This spacecraft you’re going to ride on is, to a certain extent, untried.
记者：你们要乘坐的这艘飞船在某种程度上是未经尝试的。
You’re taking the shakedown crew.
你正在带领整顿人员。
Do you approach it with any apprehension as compared to the Gemini which had been flown before?
与之前飞过的双子座相比，您是否对它有任何担忧？
Ed White : No, I don’t think so.
艾德·怀特：不，我不这么认为。
I think you have to understand the feeling that a pilot has and that a test pilot has that – I look forward a great deal to the first flight.
我认为你必须理解飞行员和试飞员的感受——我非常期待第一次飞行。
There’s a great deal of pride involved in making a first flight.
第一次飞行让人感到非常自豪。
So I’m looking forward to the flight with a great deal of anticipation.
所以我对这次飞行充满期待。
Reporter : Is anything scary about a first space flight, even though you’ve flown many hours in conventional aircraft, jet aircraft?
记者：尽管您已经乘坐传统飞机、喷气式飞机飞行了很多小时，但第一次太空飞行有什么可怕的吗？
Roger Chaffee : Oh I don’t like to say anything’s scary about it.
Roger Chaffee：哦，我不想说有什么可怕的。
There’s a lot of unknowns, of course, and a lot of problems that could develop or might develop and they’ll have to be solved, and that’s what we’re there for.
当然，还有很多未知因素，还有很多可能出现或可能出现的问题必须得到解决，这就是我们存在的目的。
This is our business to find out if this thing will work for us.
我们的任务是找出这个东西是否适合我们。
But I don’t think anybody is – You know, I don’t like to use the word scary.
但我不认为有人——你知道，我不喜欢用“可怕”这个词。
I definitely think you’re apprehensive, and you’re considering what’s involved there.
我绝对认为你很担心，并且你正在考虑其中涉及的内容。
You’re thinking about it.
你正在考虑它。
But you know how to handle it, and take care of it, and do the job.
但你知道如何处理它、照顾它、完成工作。
Gus Grissom : Alright this is your senior pilot, counting one, two, three, four, five.
格斯·格里森：好的，这是你们的高级飞行员，正在数一、二、三、四、五。
Five, four, three, two, one, Senior Pilot.
五，四，三，二，一，高级飞行员。
Launch control : Pilot, I haven’t talked to you yet, how’s it feel?
发射控制：飞行员，我还没和你说话，感觉怎么样？
One, two, three, four, five.
一、二、三、四、五。
Four, three, two, one.
四，三，二，一。
Gus Grissom : Hey, how are we going to get to the Moon if we can’t talk between three buildings?
格斯·格里索姆：嘿，如果我们不能在三座建筑物之间进行交谈，我们如何才能到达月球呢？
Gus Grissom : I can’t hear a thing you’re saying.
格斯·格里索姆：我听不到你在说什么。
Jesus Christ.
耶稣基督。
Gus Grissom : How are we going to get to the moon if we can’t talk between two or three buildings?
Gus Grissom：如果我们不能在两三座建筑物之间进行通信，我们如何才能到达月球？
Roger Chaffee (text on screen): Hey!
罗杰·查菲（屏幕上的文字）：嘿！
We’ve got a fire in the cockpit!
我们的驾驶舱着火了！
There is a bad fire!
发生了严重的火灾！
Help us!

发射控制（屏幕上的文字）：嘿，机组人员，你现在可以出去吗？
Confirm it?
确认一下？
Pad leader get in there and help them.
护卫队长进去帮助他们。
Pad leader zero, three, three.
焊盘领导者零，三，三。
Alright clear, did we get verification?
好的，清楚了，我们得到验证了吗？
Can you egress this at this time?
这个时候你能出去吗？
Pad, were you able to hear them?
帕德，你听到他们说话了吗？
Get them out of there.
把他们带出去。
Gus can you read us?
格斯你能读懂我们吗？
Pad leader?
护垫领袖？
Could you get them out of there!
你能把他们带出去吗！
Bill Anders : I was working in the yard, and I got a call from Alan Bean, and he said, we’ve had a fire and the three astronauts were killed, and would you go over and tell Pat White.
比尔·安德斯：我当时在院子里工作，接到艾伦·比恩的电话，他说，我们发生了火灾，三名宇航员丧生，你能过去告诉帕特·怀特吗？
So I quickly jumped out of my lawn mowing clothes, and drove over there.
于是我赶紧脱下割草服，开车过去。
It took me maybe ten minutes.
我大概花了十分钟。
Valerie Anders : It was very difficult because Bill had to tell Pat White, and Janet was next door – Janet Armstrong – and so she went over there.
瓦莱丽·安德斯：这非常困难，因为比尔必须告诉帕特·怀特，而珍妮特就在隔壁——珍妮特·阿姆斯特朗——所以她去了那里。
We didn’t know how to divide ourselves right away because of the three wives having to be told about it.
我们不知道如何立即分开，因为必须告诉三个妻子这件事。
So, it was – it was just a time when we were in shock.
所以，那是——那只是我们震惊的时刻。
Bill Anders : I arrived and I walked up to her, and I think she sensed something.
比尔·安德斯：我到了，我走到她面前，我想她感觉到了一些东西。
And I told her and she broke down.
我告诉她，她崩溃了。
Mike Wallace : America’s first three Apollo astronauts were trapped and killed by a flash fire that swept their Moon ship early tonight during a launch pad test at Cape Kennedy in Florida.
迈克·华莱士：今晚早些时候，在佛罗里达州肯尼迪角的发射台测试中，美国首批三名阿波罗宇航员被一场席卷登月船的闪火困住并丧生。
Jules Bergman : They died at T minus 10 minutes into a simulated launch countdown, helplessly trapped inside their spacecraft.
朱尔斯·伯格曼：他们在模拟发射倒计时还剩 10 分钟时死亡，无助地被困在飞船内。
Reporter : And this is a hard phrase to say, but I think it’s a necessary one – it would be an instantaneous death, would it not?
记者：这句话很难说，但我认为这是必要的——这将是瞬间死亡，不是吗？
Paul Haney : I think that’s a fair assumption.
保罗·哈尼：我认为这是一个合理的假设。
Walter Cronkite : Apparently they died absolutely instantly.
沃尔特·克朗凯特：显然他们立刻就死了。
George Alexander : I went to the NASA news center, and Jack King told me that the print media wanted me to be the pool reporter to go up and look into the spacecraft.
乔治·亚历山大：我去了 NASA 新闻中心，杰克·金告诉我，平面媒体希望我成为联合记者，上去观察航天器。
And when I rode the elevator up to the top of the gantry to where the burned-out spacecraft was, there were only two or three people up there, and there was a photographer.
当我乘坐电梯到达龙门架顶部，到达被烧毁的飞船所在的地方时，上面只有两三个人，还有一名摄影师。
The hatch was open, and the smell of burned paper and foam – not flesh – was very pronounced.
舱门开着，烧焦的纸和泡沫的气味——而不是肉的气味——非常明显。
There were some anomalous things.
出现了一些异常的情况。
For example, one side of the space craft just was a pile of ashes, but over on the other side, here were manuals and other flammable stuff, untouched.
例如，飞船的一侧只是一堆灰烬，但另一侧却是手册和其他易燃物品，完好无损。
The bottom of the spacecraft, below the frame was littered with clumps of debris which were unrecognizable.
飞船底部框架下方散落着一团团无法辨认的碎片。
There were – I counted at least – at least twelve fire extinguishers, some obviously had been used.
至少我数了一下，那里至少有十二个灭火器，有些显然已经被使用过。
Oh, by the way, there were several gas masks on the floor…
哦，对了，地上有几个防毒面具……
When the ground crew was able to open the hatch, they found the three bodies piled on top of one another.
当地勤人员打开舱门时，他们发现三具尸体叠在一起。
The hatch opened inward, so it had to be pulled from inside, pushed from the outside, and as the combustion process inside the spacecraft proceeded, it produced an enormous amount of gas.
舱门是向内打开的，所以必须从里面拉，从外面推，随着飞船内部燃烧过程的进行，产生了大量的气体。
But the pressure was so high that the three of them – three very young, vigorous, well-trained, well-conditioned men could not pull that damn hatch back into the capsule and escape.
但压力如此之大，以至于他们三个人——三个非常年轻、精力充沛、训练有素、身体状况良好的人无法将那个该死的舱口拉回太空舱并逃脱。
Mike Wallace : Walter I’m sure this hits you particularly hard because these men were friends of yours.
迈克·华莱士：沃尔特，我确信这对你打击特别大，因为这些人是你的朋友。
You knew Gus Grissom from the beginning down at Cape Kennedy.
你从一开始在肯尼迪角就认识格斯·格里森。
Walter Cronkite : Yes indeed, Mike, that’s of course true, and it does hit me hard.
沃尔特·克朗凯特：是的，迈克，这当然是真的，这确实对我打击很大。
I think that – I think one thing should be said.
我认为——我认为应该说一件事。
This is a time for great sadness, national sadness and certainly the personal sadness of the people in the space program, but it’s also a time for courage.
这是一个充满巨大悲伤、全国性悲伤的时刻，当然还有参与太空计划的人们的个人悲伤，但这也是一个需要勇气的时刻。
And if that sounds trite, I’ll change the words to guts.
如果这听起来很陈词滥调，我会把这个词改为胆量。
That this is a test program.
这是一个测试程序。
We knew it was a test program and these guys who went into it knew it was a test program - a test program with equipment of this nature, as with anything where you’re operating within a hostile environment, which space is, and this was a hostile environment even if they were on the ground.
我们知道这是一个测试项目，参与其中的人也知道这是一个测试项目——一个带有这种性质的设备的测试项目，就像在敌对环境中操作的任何东西一样，太空就是这样，即使它们在地面上，这也是一个敌对环境。
This program is bound to claim it’s victims.
这个程序注定会招致受害者。
George Alexander : Initially NASA tried to hide the gruesome facts of their death.
乔治·亚历山大：最初美国宇航局试图掩盖他们死亡的可怕事实。
Did the three astronauts die instantaneously?
三名宇航员是瞬间死亡吗？
Absolutely not.
绝对不是。
They lived for at least a minute before they died of smoke inhalation.
他们在因吸入烟雾而死亡之前至少存活了一分钟。
Dead is dead, the space agency felt, let’s respect these men and their families and let it go with that.
航天局认为，死了就是死了，让我们尊重这些人和他们的家人，然后就这样吧。
Officer (military funeral procession): Firing squad fire three volley’s.
军官（军事送葬队伍）：行刑队开了三枪。
Valerie Anders : There was one funeral at West Point for Ed White, and we had another flight going to Arlington, so some of us went there.
瓦莱丽·安德斯：西点军校为埃德·怀特举行了一场葬礼，我们还有另一趟航班飞往阿灵顿，所以我们中的一些人去了那里。
Some people managed to go to all the funerals, but it was – it was pretty chaotic the whole thing.
有些人设法参加了所有葬礼，但事实是——整个事情非常混乱。
Frank Borman : Well, that was the beginning of a – of a very, very traumatic year for me and my family.
弗兰克·博尔曼：嗯，对于我和我的家人来说，这是非常非常痛苦的一年的开始。
I had a hard time, you know, I felt very hard for Ed White, and I felt very hard for Gus and Roger.
我度过了一段艰难的时光，你知道，我为埃德·怀特感到非常难过，我为格斯和罗杰感到非常难过。
We were – we were close.
我们——我们很接近。
Our closest friends were Pat and Ed White, and his death devastated Pat.
我们最亲密的朋友是帕特·怀特和埃德·怀特，他的去世让帕特悲痛欲绝。
It was just a tough time.
那只是一段艰难的时光。
Bill Anders : It was really tough for her and eventually she committed suicide.
比尔·安德斯：这对她来说真的很艰难，最终她自杀了。
Reporter : No one knows when the program will be resumed, but there’s a feeling here that Friday’s tragedy will only slow down the program for a short time.
记者：没有人知道节目什么时候能恢复，但有一种感觉，周五的悲剧只会让节目暂时放慢。
The big questions remain: how did the fire start?
最大的问题仍然存在：火灾是如何开始的？
Why did it start?
为什么开始呢？
Did a spark come from an overloaded circuit?
火花是否来自过载电路？
Was the spacecraft in internal or exterior power at the time of the flash?
闪光时航天器处于内部电源还是外部电源？
Frank Borman : After the fire at the Cape, some people – they couldn’t handle it very well and there were a lot of – drinking and staying out and a lot of pill taking, and some of us got drunk, some of us went nuts.
弗兰克·博尔曼：在开普敦发生火灾后，有些人——他们无法很好地应对，而且有很多人——喝酒、呆在外面、服用大量药物，我们中的一些人喝醉了，我们中的一些人发疯了。
My anguish and my concern lasted about three days.
我的痛苦和担忧持续了大约三天。
Then, what’s next?
那么接下来呢？
Let’s get on with the job.
让我们继续工作吧。
Reporter : The service tower on Pad 34 will be rolled back today and the painstaking work of removing the Apollo spacecraft from its Saturn booster will get under way.
记者：34号发射台的服务塔今天将被拆除，阿波罗飞船从土星助推器上拆除的艰苦工作也将开始。
Then the spacecraft itself will be lifted off and the remains of it will be taken apart, bit by bit to see what went wrong.
然后航天器本身将被升空，其残骸将被一点一点地拆开，看看出了什么问题。
Frank Borman : That was the most thorough examination up to that time of any accident.
弗兰克·博尔曼：那是迄今为止对所有事故进行的最彻底的检查。
I’d climb in and say, ok, this switch is in the on position, and then we – we just went through.
我会爬进去说，好吧，这个开关处于打开位置，然后我们 - 我们就通过了。
A wrench was found, a discarded wrench was found, in the space craft, and it was just clear that things had not been going as well as they should have.
在宇宙飞船中发现了一把扳手，一把废弃的扳手，很明显事情并没有按预期进行。
The absolute determination of what started the fire was never discovered.
起火原因的绝对确定从未被发现。
We believed we knew what happened.
我们相信我们知道发生了什么。
We believe that it was a frayed wire down around the Environmental Control System, but it was impossible to say with certainty, well, this failed or that failed.
我们相信这是环境控制系统周围一根磨损的电线，但不可能肯定地说，这个失败了，那个失败了。
Bill Anders : There were so many things wrong with the initial Apollo 1 spacecraft that I don’t think it would have survived a trip to the Moon.
比尔·安德斯：最初的阿波罗 1 号飞船存在很多问题，我认为它无法在月球之旅中幸存下来。
Pressurizing the spacecraft with a hundred percent oxygen – anything will burn, an asbestos fire blanket will burn.
用百分之一百的氧气给航天器加压——任何东西都会燃烧，石棉防火毯都会燃烧。
So why, NASA in all their otherwise brilliance, allowed this test to happen – it amazes me.
那么，为什么美国国家航空航天局（NASA）在其他方面才华横溢，却允许进行这次测试——这让我感到惊讶。
But they did, and a spark ignited that thing.
但他们做到了，火花点燃了那件事。
Sergei Khruschchev : Before the American disaster, we have the same fire like it was in the Apollo, because both countries tried to build the spacecrafts as light as possible.
谢尔盖·赫鲁晓夫：在美国灾难之前，我们遇到了与阿波罗号相同的火灾，因为两国都试图建造尽可能轻的航天器。
And at first they thought let’s use the pure oxygen in the capsule, and one of these testing, the person who was there, he burned alive.
起初他们认为让我们使用胶囊中的纯氧，其中一个测试，在那里的人，他被活活烧死了。
He died, but Soviets kept it secret, they don’t want to publicize their disasters.
他死了，但苏联人保守秘密，他们不想公开他们的灾难。
Senator Smith : Why wasn’t the seriousness of the situation regarding the multi-billion-dollar contracts at North American made known to the Committee?
史密斯参议员：为什么委员会没有向委员会了解有关北美数十亿美元合同的情况的严重性？
Would you not feel that the Chairman and other members of the Committee should have been briefed on the situation?
您是否认为应该向委员会主席和其他成员通报情况？
Senator Young : The facts are, are they not, that this Committee has a responsibility to pursue the matter to determine whether there was negligence on the part of….
杨参议员：事实是，不是吗，本委员会有责任追查此事，以确定……是否存在疏忽。
Mark Bloom : Most of those Congressmen and the Senators didn’t have a clue what they were asking.
马克·布鲁姆：大多数国会议员和参议员都不知道他们在问什么。
They would ask questions and didn’t know how to follow up.
他们会提出问题，但不知道如何跟进。
Sen.
参议员。
Cannon : Mr. Webb, I’d like to ask you first, whether or not that was a change and if it was a change, what was the specific change and what was the necessity for it?
Cannon：韦伯先生，我想先问您，这是否是一个改变，如果是改变，具体的改变是什么，有什么必要性？
Sen.
参议员。
Young : Referring to flammable materials and then the recommendation that…
Young：提到易燃材料，然后建议……
Mark Bloom : There were Senators and Congressmen trying to get publicity for themselves, so no I don’t think those hearings were all that important, except politically speaking, and I don’t think there was ever a thought that they wouldn’t continue on to the Moon.
马克·布鲁姆：有些参议员和国会议员试图为自己赢得公众的关注，所以不，我不认为这些听证会那么重要，除了从政治角度来说，而且我认为没有人想过他们不会继续登上月球。
George Mueller : One has always to balance the risks in this – in one of these programs.
乔治·穆勒：人们总是要在其中一个项目中平衡风险。
There is no way of guaranteeing that every risk can be avoided, and I don’t – I don’t think we have eliminated risk from the program.
没有办法保证所有风险都可以避免，而且我不这样做——我不认为我们已经消除了该计划的风险。
James Webb : The difficulties are related to the – the problems of going to the Moon and coming back, and we right now have a number of extremely serious situations but we also believe we know that we can overcome them and fly.
詹姆斯·韦伯：这些困难与登月和返回的问题有关，我们现在面临着许多极其严重的情况，但我们也相信我们知道我们可以克服它们并飞翔。
They are no more difficult than those we faced over the last five or six years, maybe less difficult.
它们并不比我们过去五六年所面临的困难更困难，甚至可能没那么困难。
And the problems of this week are never the problems of next week.
本周的问题永远不会是下周的问题。
It’s a constant series of a large number of problems with each one being solved, and another one emerges, and in the end you get to the point that you have enough confidence to launch the equipment.
这是一系列不断出现的大量问题，每个问题得到解决，另一个问题又出现，最后你就有足够的信心来启动设备。
Frank Borman : I testified for both the House and the Senate.
弗兰克·博尔曼：我为众议院和参议院作证。
You sit up before this committee and you’ve got reporters handing these guys questions to ask you, because the people there, they don’t know their butt from third base.
你坐在这个委员会面前，有记者向这些人提出问题要问你，因为那里的人，他们不知道他们在三垒的屁股。
Basically I think I said, why don’t you stop this witch hunt and let us get on with the job?
基本上我想我说的是，你为什么不停止这场政治迫害，让我们继续工作呢？
Bill Anders : Frank Borman, he led the review, and many changes resulted in a lot better space craft.
比尔·安德斯：弗兰克·博尔曼，他领导了这次审查，许多改变导致了更好的航天器。
The first hatches were designed as any sensible hatch guy would do, you know, so it wouldn’t blow out in space.
你知道，第一个舱口的设计就像任何明智的舱口人都会做的那样，所以它不会在太空中爆炸。
And it turned out in retrospect that it was just one of a series of mistakes.
事后看来，这只是一系列错误中的一个。
The replacement hatch – it looked like a hatch engineer’s wet dream, with all these gears and latches and whatnot – I kept looking at it, thinking, jeeze don’t touch it.
替换舱口——它看起来就像舱口工程师的梦遗，有所有这些齿轮和闩锁等等——我一直看着它，心想，天哪，别碰它。
Frank Borman : The subsequent actions instituted some very, very sweeping changes – management changes, technical changes were made, that gave us a vehicle that was far superior to the one that they died in.
弗兰克·博尔曼：随后的行动带来了一些非常非常彻底的变化——管理上的变化、技术上的变化，这给了我们一辆比他们死时乘坐的车要优越得多的车。
The lunar module, it was also lagging behind, it had never flown.
登月舱呢，也落后了，从来没有飞过。
They realized that there were all kinds of problems in that too.
他们意识到这也存在各种各样的问题。
Reporter : It looks like the worlds’ fanciest cocoon.
记者：它看起来就像是世界上最奇特的茧。
Inside is a lunar module, one of the series of spacecraft designed to land Americans on the Moon before 1970.
里面有一个登月舱，是 1970 年之前为美国人登陆月球而设计的系列航天器之一。
But the elaborate cocoon hides a troubled butterfly – an Apollo program substantially over budget, and so drastically behind schedule that the goal of a manned lunar landing in the 1960s may already be lost.
但精致的茧中隐藏着一只陷入困境的蝴蝶——阿波罗计划大大超出了预算，而且大大落后于计划，以至于 20 世纪 60 年代载人登月的目标可能已经落空。
Frank Borman : The fire shook the confidence, the public confidence, in NASA.
弗兰克·博尔曼：火灾动摇了公众对 NASA 的信心。
I think NASA had a really almost golden image and then all of a sudden that was shattered.
我认为美国宇航局曾经有一个几乎是黄金般的形象，但突然间它就破碎了。
Senator Edmund Muskie : The space program, up to now, has been a crash program.
参议员埃德蒙·马斯基：到目前为止，太空计划一直是一个紧急计划。
In other words, we said we’re going to the Moon no matter what.
换句话说，我们说过无论如何我们都要登上月球。
Well, I think that we’ve got to abandon that emphasis.
好吧，我认为我们必须放弃这种强调。
This doesn’t mean we abandon space – we can’t, we’re not likely to.
这并不意味着我们放弃太空——我们不能，我们也不太可能这样做。
Man has reached this threshold, he’s not going to back off.
人已经到了这个门槛，他不会退缩。
And so we’re going to continue our effort to probe ever deeper in space but it’s got to be at – in accordance with a different order of priorities.
因此，我们将继续努力探索更深入的太空，但必须按照不同的优先顺序进行。
There are some things here on Earth that we should now do, no matter what.
无论如何，地球上有些事情我们现在就应该做。
Roger Launius : Everybody at NASA who worked on the Apollo program will tell you, is that in 1961 when they got the mission to go to the Moon, they sort of put their heads down to work on this problem.
Roger Launius：NASA 参与阿波罗计划的每个人都会告诉你，1961 年，当他们接到登月任务时，他们就开始埋头解决这个问题。
So the desperation of the civil rights crusade, the desire to have more inclusiveness – women’s rights and so on – all of the issues that were transformed during that era – they sort of got left behind, and these guys sort of missed the ‘60s.
因此，民权运动的绝望、对更多包容性的渴望——妇女权利等等——所有在那个时代发生转变的问题——他们有点被抛在了后面，这些人有点怀念 60 年代。
Martin Luther King, Jr .: If our nation can spend thirty five billion dollars a year to fight an unjust evil war in Viet Nam, and twenty billion dollars to put a man on the Moon, it can spend billions of dollars to put God’s children on their own two feet, right here on Earth.
马丁·路德·金：如果我们的国家每年能够花费 350 亿美元在越南打一场不公正的邪恶战争，并花费 200 亿美元将人类送上月球，那么它就可以花费数十亿美元让上帝的孩子们在地球上站起来。
Frank Borman : You know 1968 wasn’t a very good year, from the standpoint of Americans, with the assassinations and the war in Viet Nam.
弗兰克·博尔曼：你知道，从美国人的角度来看，1968 年并不是很好的一年，因为发生了暗杀事件和越南战争。
I was aware of what was going on, but I was not part of that scene.
我知道发生了什么事，但我并不参与那个场景。
I was totally engrossed in trying to get to the Moon and back.
我全神贯注于往返月球的尝试。
So it was almost as if I was living in another planet then.
所以当时我几乎就像生活在另一个星球上一样。
Wernher von Braun : There are many other things competing for public interest.
沃纳·冯·布劳恩：还有很多其他事情在争夺公共利益。
There’s an election coming up, and there’s a war going on in Viet Nam and there are problems in the cities and quite a few people seem to believe that we have taken money away from the public purse.
选举即将到来，越南正在发生战争，城市中存在问题，很多人似乎认为我们从公共钱包中拿走了钱。
We prefer to see our space program in a somewhat different light.
我们更愿意从不同的角度看待我们的太空计划。
We believe that we are actually producing values and we are producing values at a faster rate than we are taking money out of the Treasury.
我们相信，我们实际上正在创造价值，而且我们创造价值的速度比我们从财政部取出资金的速度还要快。
Bill Anders : Early on we were all trotted around to Huntsville and other places where they were building parts of the Saturn 5.
比尔·安德斯：早些时候，我们都跑到了亨茨维尔和其他地方，在那里他们正在建造土星 5 号的部件。
Wernher von Braun : The Saturn 5 is taller than the Statue of Liberty.
Wernher von Braun：土星 5 号比自由女神像还高。
It can carry a pay load of 280,000 pounds into low Earth orbit, which is the equivalent of about thirty-five Gemini space craft.
它可以携带 280,000 磅的有效载荷进入近地轨道，相当于大约 35 个双子座航天器。
With this vehicle, the flight to the Moon will be accomplished.
有了这辆车，就可以完成飞往月球的飞行。
Bill Anders : It was basically an analog rocket.
Bill Anders：它基本上是一个模拟火箭。
We had less intelligence in its guidance system than I have in a Cassio watch.
我们的导航系统的智能程度还不如我的卡西欧手表。
It probably was the most complicated pile of technology that anybody had built.
这可能是有史以来最复杂的技术堆。
Ed Buckbee : Von Braun believed in testing.
Ed Buckbee：冯·布劳恩相信测试。
I cannot emphasize that term enough – test, test, test.
我怎么强调这个词都不过分——测试、测试、测试。
Test to the point it breaks.
测试到它破裂的程度。
His idea was you test the first booster.
他的想法是测试第一个助推器。
Once you’re satisfied that the first stage is successful, then you put the live second stage on, you test that until you’re satisfied that those two stages are correct, and finally you put the third stage on, and you test it.
一旦您对第一阶段成功感到满意，那么您就可以启动第二阶段，并对其进行测试，直到您对这两个阶段的正确性感到满意为止，最后您可以启动第三阶段并对其进行测试。
We ground tested all of those stages before they ever shipped to the Cape for launch.
在将所有这些级运往海角发射之前，我们对它们进行了地面测试。
Well, that was the concept.
嗯，这就是这个概念。
When George Mueller became involved, he was Von Braun’s boss, you know Mueller says, if we’re going to beat the Russians and we’re going to do it within this decade, we’ve got to jump-start this program.
当乔治·穆勒参与其中时，他是冯·布劳恩的老板，你知道穆勒说，如果我们要击败俄罗斯人并且我们要在这十年内做到这一点，我们就必须启动这个计划。
So why not go all-up, un-manned, with all three stages hot, and look at everything carefully.
那么为什么不全力以赴，无人值守，三个阶段都很热，仔细观察一切。
He came up with the idea of the all-up test.
他提出了全面测试的想法。
Von Braun did not believe in all-up.
冯·布劳恩不相信全面。
He was not comfortable with that at all because they had never followed that process.
他对此一点也不舒服，因为他们从来没有遵循这个过程。
Mark Bloom : This was the first un-manned test of the Saturn 5, the rocket that was going to take men to the Moon.
马克·布鲁姆：这是土星 5 号的首次无人测试，土星 5 号火箭将把人类送上月球。
So, everyone was there.
所以，每个人都在那里。
And it was the first launching after the Apollo fire.
这是阿波罗火灾后的首次发射。
If that failed, then NASA was not going to get to the Moon during the decade.
如果失败了，那么美国宇航局将在这十年内无法登上月球。
George Alexander : Just this enormous – enormous – structure, and you knew that once it was filled with kerosene and liquid oxygen, you were dealing with a very massive, tremendous amount of energy, just mind-boggling.
乔治·亚历山大：就是这个巨大的结构，你知道一旦它充满煤油和液氧，你就会处理非常巨大的能量，简直令人难以置信。
Mark Bloom : I mean it was everybody was, this seven-and-a-half-million pounds of thrust in the first stage – and what does that mean really?
马克·布鲁姆：我的意思是，第一阶段的七百五十万磅推力是每个人的——这到底意味着什么？
I mean, it sounds impressive, but what would it really mean when they launched?
我的意思是，这听起来令人印象深刻，但是当它们推出时，它真正意味着什么？
By that time, the networks had all built trailers at the Cape, and they had large windows that looked out on the launch site, three-and-a-half miles away.
到那时，所有网络都在海角建造了拖车，它们有大窗户，可以看到三英里半外的发射场。
And nobody quite knew what the Saturn 5 was going to do.
没有人完全知道土星 5 号将会做什么。
Jack King : On the first Saturn 5 launch, you know when I say ignition sequence start...10, 9, ignition sequence start.
杰克·金：在第一次土星 5 号发射时，你知道当我说点火序列开始时...10、9，点火序列开始。
You’ve got those five giant engines, and they ignite, and it takes the remainder of the countdown for them build up that seven-and-a-half million pounds of thrust.
你有五个巨大的发动机，它们点火，在倒计时剩下的时间里它们才能产生七百五十万磅的推力。
Five, four, we have ignition.
五、四，我们点火了。
All engines are running.
所有引擎都在运转。
And there it was, sitting in a bed of flames.
它就在那里，坐在火床上。
It seemed like an eternity.
这似乎是永恒的。
And there was still five giant swing arms attached to that rocket, and then all of a sudden it would slowly lift off.
那枚火箭上还附有五个巨大的摆臂，然后突然它就会慢慢升空。
We have liftoff, we have liftoff at 7am.
我们起飞，早上 7 点起飞。
Mark Bloom : We were three and a half miles away, so you could see it, but the sound and shock wave took several seconds to get to us.
马克·布鲁姆：我们距离三英里半，所以你可以看到它，但声音和冲击波花了几秒钟才到达我们身边。
Jack King : I thought the whole damn roof was going to come down on top of us.
杰克·金：我以为整个该死的屋顶都会塌下来压在我们身上。
Walter Cronkite was knocked off his chair in his trailer over at the press site.
沃尔特·克朗凯特（Walter Cronkite）在新闻发布会现场从他的拖车里的椅子上被撞倒。
Walter Cronkite : Oh its terrific!
沃尔特·克朗凯特：哦，太棒了！
The building’s shaking!
大楼在摇晃！
This big glass window is shaking and we’re holding it with our hands.
这扇大玻璃窗在摇晃，我们用手握住它。
Look at that rocket go!
看看那火箭飞走了！
Ed Buckbee : Everyone just looked around and said, you know, it really did work, I mean it’s fantastic.
Ed Buckbee：每个人都环顾四周说，你知道，它确实有效，我的意思是它太棒了。
Its working, working!
它正在工作，正在工作！
Reporter : Dr. Von Braun, whenever there’s a space accomplishment, the question inevitably arises – are we ahead, or are we behind?
记者：冯·布劳恩博士，每当有太空成就时，不可避免地会出现这样的问题：我们是领先还是落后？
How about this?
这个怎么样？
Wernher von Braun : Well I would say the Soviet program has definitely more momentum than ours.
沃纳·冯·布劳恩：嗯，我想说苏联的计划肯定比我们的更有动力。
Their relative commitment as a nation to the space program is estimated to be about twice as high as ours.
他们作为一个国家对太空计划的相对承诺估计是我们的两倍左右。
Reporter : There’s a lot of talk again about what the Russians may be doing or are about to do.
记者：关于俄罗斯人可能正在做什么或即将做什么的讨论又很多了。
Could you please give us your assessment of the talk about their big booster, about Zond 5, and when they may try circumlunar flights or lunar landings?
您能否给我们您对有关他们的大型助推器、Zond 5 以及他们何时可能尝试环月飞行或登月的讨论的评价？
Wernher von Braun : Well, my assessment of Zond 5, that was the Soviet spacecraft that looped the Moon and re-entered over the Indian ocean, and was successfully recovered by Soviet ships in the Indian Ocean - was a dress-rehearsal for a manned flight.
沃纳·冯·布劳恩：嗯，我对“第五区”的评价是，这是一艘环绕月球并重新进入印度洋的苏联航天器，并在印度洋被苏联船只成功回收——这是一次载人飞行的彩排。
Frank Borman : I was out at Downey, California, doing a test on the Apollo 8 spacecraft.
Frank Borman：我当时在加利福尼亚州唐尼，对阿波罗 8 号宇宙飞船进行测试。
I got a call from Deke Slayton, said, get back here right away, I need to talk to you.
我接到 Deke Slayton 的电话，说，马上回来，我需要和你谈谈。
So I got in an airplane and I went back, and I walked in the door, and I remember Deke said, close the door.
所以我坐上了飞机，然后回去了，我走进门，我记得德克说，关上门。
And he said that the CIA had information that the Russians were going to try to go to the Moon, and that they – that he wanted to know if we could move our mission from a February or March launch to a December launch and go to the Moon, if we could retrain ourselves.
他说，中央情报局掌握了俄罗斯人将尝试登上月球的信息，他们——他想知道我们是否可以将我们的任务从二月或三月的发射转移到十二月的发射并登上月球，如果我们能够重新训练自己的话。
This was in August.
这是八月份的事。
And I said, yes, we could.
我说，是的，我们可以。
Bill Anders : We had been told, that the Soviets were going to try to launch the first manned-flight up and around the Moon.
比尔·安德斯：我们被告知，苏联将尝试发射首次载人飞行并绕月飞行。
It was proven that they, indeed, tried it unmanned, they had selected crew to fly a manned flight.
事实证明，他们确实尝试过无人驾驶，他们选择了机组人员来驾驶载人飞行。
Many of the earlier flights were unsuccessful for various reasons.
由于各种原因，许多早期的飞行都没有成功。
So, unbeknownst to us, the Russians got cold feet.
因此，在我们不知情的情况下，俄罗斯人临阵退缩了。
But NASA under the threat of having the Soviets scoop them yet again, decided to shuffle the Apollo flights, take Apollo 8 whose lunar module was behind schedule anyway, give us the first Saturn 5, and on that we would just go around the moon without a Lunar Module.
但美国宇航局在苏联再次抢占它们的威胁下，决定重新安排阿波罗飞行，拿走登月舱无论如何都落后于计划的阿波罗8号，给我们第一个土星5号，这样我们就可以在没有登月舱的情况下绕月飞行。
Frank Boreman : My odds for mission success were a hundred percent.
Frank Boreman：我的任务成功的几率是百分之一百。
If I didn’t think I was coming back, I wasn’t going to go.
如果我认为我不会回来，我就不会去。
Bill Anders, I think had figured out, think he said, thirty percent for mission success.
比尔·安德斯（Bill Anders），我想他已经明白了，他说，百分之三十的任务成功率。
But he was more analytical than I am.
但他比我更善于分析。
Bill Anders : Well it was a big rocket, full of very explosive stuff.
比尔·安德斯：嗯，这是一个巨大的火箭，里面装满了爆炸性的东西。
We went through the drill of escaping, which was riding a wire and then jumping down to a shoot, and then jumping down there and landing in a room on springs and padded chairs, and I thought, we’ll never get that far.
我们经历了逃跑的练习，那就是骑着一根钢丝，然后跳到一个射击处，然后跳到那里，降落在一个有弹簧和软垫椅子的房间里，我想，我们永远不会走那么远。
And so the chance of beating the Russians with this mere threat of the Saturn 5 blowing up was not a big factor at least in my concern.
因此，仅仅依靠土星五号爆炸的威胁来击败俄罗斯人的机会至少在我看来并不是一个重要因素。
The last thing we wanted to do was screw up – we’d rather die than screw up in public.
我们最不想做的就是搞砸——我们宁愿死也不愿在公共场合搞砸。
Standard fighter pilot view.
标准战斗机飞行员视图。
Poppy Northcutt : They accelerated the schedule on Apollo 8 so much, the flight controllers had not had time to train on the Return to Earth capability which was really the big new thing on that mission.
Poppy Northcutt：他们大大加快了阿波罗 8 号的进度，以至于飞行控制人员没有时间训练返回地球能力，这确实是该任务中的重大新事物。
Well, I was on the Return to Earth program.
嗯，我参加了返回地球计划。
I was a Return to Earth specialist, by the time we were flying Apollo 8.
当我们驾驶阿波罗 8 号时，我是一名返回地球专家。
So, we went in to help them learn how to use the Return to Earth program.
因此，我们帮助他们学习如何使用“返回地球”计划。
Jules Bergman (Jules Bergman interview with Northcutt): Poppy, what do you actually do during space flights here in Mission Control?
Jules Bergman（Jules Bergman 接受 Northcutt 采访）：Poppy，你在任务控制中心进行太空飞行时实际上做了什么？
Poppy Northcutt : Well, my job is to get the astronauts safely back to Earth from the Moon.
Poppy Northcutt：嗯，我的工作是让宇航员从月球安全返回地球。
Jules Bergman : What does that mean exactly?
朱尔斯·伯格曼：这到底是什么意思？
Poppy Northcutt : Well, it means determining what their position is, the present position, feeding the information into a computer program, and getting back their maneuver angels and how much thrust they have to have to get back to the Earth.
Poppy Northcutt：嗯，这意味着确定他们的位置，当前位置，将信息输入计算机程序，并返回他们的机动天使以及他们必须有多少推力才能返回地球。
Jules Bergman : So you’re computing their trajectory for the Return to Earth?
朱尔斯·伯格曼：所以你正在计算他们返回地球的轨迹？
Poppy Northcutt : That’s right.
波比·诺斯卡特：没错。
It was a complete peculiarity to have a woman in an operational role in mission control.
让一名女性在任务控制中担任作战职务是一个完全的奇特。
I was the first one.
我是第一个。
For quite a while, I was the only woman in the technical role in Houston.

So, he balked at the TV camera.
所以，他对电视镜头犹豫不决。
We didn’t need it.
我们不需要它。
We were there to show that we could go around the Moon and we’d beat the Russians in going around the Moon, and so, who needed a TV camera?
我们在那里是为了证明我们可以绕月飞行，而且我们在绕月飞行方面击败了俄罗斯人，所以，谁需要电视摄像机呢？
Well, I thought we out to have it, just to be able to show the people on Earth, you know, what we were doing.
嗯，我认为我们应该拥有它，只是为了能够向地球上的人们展示我们在做什么。
Frank Borman : I was overruled, rightfully so, because after all, the American people deserved to see what they were getting for their money.
弗兰克·博尔曼：我被否决了，这是理所当然的，因为毕竟，美国人民应该看到他们的钱得到了什么。
We’re rolling around to a good view of the Earth, and as soon as we get to the good view of the Earth, we’ll stop and let you look out the window at the scene we see.
我们正在滚动到可以看到地球的最佳视野，一旦到达地球的最佳视野，我们就会停下来，让您看看窗外我们看到的场景。

Paul Haney : We’re theorizing here that that bright spot in top left center of your picture is the Earth.
Paul Haney：我们在这里推测，你的照片左上角中心的亮点就是地球。
Michael Collins : That’s the best centering we’ve had, Apollo 8, if you could just hold that, that’s perfect.

Bill Anders : You know Jules Verne would portray astronauts, cosmonauts as peering out the window, watching the Moon get bigger and bigger.
比尔·安德斯：你知道儒勒·凡尔纳会描绘宇航员，宇航员凝视窗外，看着月亮变得越来越大。
As a matter of fact, we never saw the Moon until we got there.
事实上，我们在到达月球之前从未见过月球。
One of the reasons why, was that NASA, rightly, was worried that since we went during a very new Moon, that meant that the Sun was almost behind the Moon.
原因之一是，美国宇航局担心，因为我们是在新月期间去的，这意味着太阳几乎在月球后面。
So anybody looking at it, would be looking right at an unfiltered Sun, and they worried it would hurt our eyes.
所以任何人看着它，都会直视未经过滤的太阳，他们担心这会伤害我们的眼睛。
Mission control : Apollo 8, Houston, one minute to LOS, all systems go.

比尔·安德斯：直到我们真正准备进入月球轨道时，我们才将航天器向后转动，并准备重新点燃服务推进引擎以减慢我们的速度。
And we went into the shadow of the Moon.
我们进入了月球的阴影。
It was this huge black void, and that was the Moon.
正是这片巨大的黑色虚空，那就是月亮。
And I must say that the hair went up on the back of my neck, when I saw that.

So no radio contact.
所以没有无线电联系。
And then you have a predicted time for Acquisition Of Signal as they come back around.
然后，您就可以预测它们回来时获取信号的时间。
But they do their maneuver on the back side of the Moon.
但他们是在月球背面进行机动的。
That maneuver behind the Moon is very critical because if they come out too early it’s not good, if they come out too late, it’s not good.
月球后面的机动非常关键，因为如果他们出来得太早，那就不好，如果他们出来太晚，那就不好。
They really need to be coming out when you think they’re going to come out – or they may be running into the Moon.
当你认为它们会出来时，它们确实需要出来——否则它们可能会撞上月球。
Mission control : Apollo 8, Houston, over.
任务控制中心：阿波罗 8 号，休斯顿，结束。
Apollo control, Houston, we’ve heard nothing yet, but we’re standing by.
阿波罗控制中心，休斯顿，我们还没有听到任何消息，但我们正在待命。
Poppy Northcutt : Well, they didn’t come out on time.

Poppy Northcutt : During the mission itself, I sat in the staff support room, not the room that you would see on TV at that time.
Poppy Northcutt：在执行任务期间，我坐在工作人员支持室，而不是您当时在电视上看到的房间。
In the room where I was, I don’t think anybody was breathing the whole time, I mean you were just watching that clock, and you were hearing the CapCom calling out, and nobody was answering.
在我所在的房间里，我不认为有人一直在呼吸，我的意思是你只是看着那个时钟，你听到了 CapCom 的呼唤声，但没有人回应。
Mission control : Apollo 8, Houston, over.
任务控制中心：阿波罗 8 号，休斯顿，结束。
Poppy Northcutt : And I’ve never had such a small amount of time seem so long.

阿波罗 8 号现在进入月球轨道，房间里一片欢呼。
This is Apollo control Houston switching now to the voice of Jim Lovell.
这是阿波罗控制的休斯顿，现在切换到吉姆·洛弗尔的声音。
Valerie Anders : The three wives had a squawk box in the house, to see what was going on on the flight.
瓦莱丽·安德斯（Valerie Anders）：三个妻子在家里有一个报警箱，以便了解飞机上发生了什么。
Jim Lovell : Burn complete.
吉姆·洛弗尔：烧录完成。
Our orbit is 169.1 by 60.5.
我们的轨道是 169.1 x 60.5。
Mission control : Apollo 8, this is Houston, Roger 169.1 by 60.5.
任务控制：阿波罗 8 号，这里是休斯顿，罗杰 169.1 x 60.5。
Good to hear your voice
很高兴听到你的声音
Valerie Anders : But when they came out from behind the Moon, Marilyn and Susan and I got together, at Susan Borman’s house, and we all just rejoiced.
瓦莱丽·安德斯：但是当他们从月球后面出来时，玛丽莲·梦露、苏珊和我在苏珊·博尔曼的家里聚在一起，我们都很高兴。
It was one of those things where there were so many untried, unknown parts of that flight, that each step, you’d think well, can this be successful again?
那次飞行中有很多未经尝试、未知的部分，每一步，你都会想，这次还能再次成功吗？
Jim Lovell : We don’t know whether you can see it from the TV screen, but the moon is nothing but a milky white, completely void.
吉姆·洛弗尔：我们不知道你是否能从电视屏幕上看到它，但月亮只不过是乳白色的，完全虚空。
We’re changing the cameras to the other window now.
我们现在正在将摄像机更改为另一个窗口。
Walter Cronkite : They’ve got two windows from which they can get good clear pictures from the spacecraft.
沃尔特·克朗凯特：他们有两个窗户，可以从飞船上获得清晰的照片。
Frank Borman : …We’re switching so that we can show you the Moon, that we’ve been flying over at 60 miles, altitude, for the last 16 hours.
Frank Borman：……我们正在切换，以便可以向您展示月球，过去 16 小时我们一直在 60 英里的高度上空飞行。
Bill Anders, Jim Lovell and myself, have spent the day before Christmas up here, doing experiments, taking pictures, and firing our space craft engines to maneuver around.
比尔·安德斯（Bill Anders）、吉姆·洛弗尔（Jim Lovell）和我本人在圣诞节前一天都在这里度过了，做实验，拍照，并启动我们的航天器引擎进行机动。
What we’ll do now is follow the trail that we’ve been following all day and take you on to a lunar sunset.
我们现在要做的就是沿着我们一整天都在追踪的路线，带你去看月球日落。
Bill Anders : Backside of the Moon, for reasons that still are in debate, is much rougher, no Mare, a lot of craters – looked like a battlefield, all torn up.
比尔·安德斯：由于仍在争论中的原因，月球背面要粗糙得多，没有月海，有很多陨石坑——看起来像一个战场，全都被撕裂了。
Frank Borman : I know my own impression is that it’s a vast, lonely, forbidding type existence, or expanse of nothing.
弗兰克·博尔曼：我知道我自己的印象是，这是一种广阔、孤独、令人生畏的存在，或者说是空无一物。
It looks really like clouds and clouds of pumice stone, and it certainly would not appear to be a very inviting place to live or work.
它看起来真的像云朵一样的浮石，而且它看起来肯定不是一个非常吸引人的居住或工作场所。
Jim what have you thought?
吉姆你怎么想？
Bill Anders : We were busy, you know, looking at the surface, and curious, but I must say it got boring fast.
比尔·安德斯：我们很忙，你知道，看着表面，很好奇，但我必须说它很快就变得无聊了。
I mean, you look at a crater and they all look alike, and Lovell had the same reaction through the navigation telescope.
我的意思是，你看一个陨石坑，它们看起来都很相似，洛弗尔通过导航望远镜也有同样的反应。
It all looked the same.
一切看起来都一样。
The closer you looked, the more holes there were.
越仔细看，漏洞就越多。
Frank Borman : I hope that all of you back on Earth can see what we mean when we say it’s a rather foreboding horizon, a rather dark and unappetizing.
弗兰克·博尔曼：我希望地球上的所有人都能明白，当我们说这是一个相当不祥的地平线、一个相当黑暗和令人倒胃口的地平线时，我们的意思是什么。
Bill Anders : Is that our landing site over there?
比尔·安德斯：那是我们的着陆点吗？
Jim Lovell : Yeah, this is our landing site right down here.
吉姆·洛弗尔：是的，这就是我们的着陆点。
Bill Anders : We’re now going over, approaching, one of our future landing sites, selected in this smooth region to – it’s called the Sea of Tranquility, smooth in order to make it easy for the initial landing attempt, in order to preclude having to dodge mountains.
比尔·安德斯：我们现在正在越过、接近我们未来的着陆点之一，选择在这个平坦的地区——它被称为“宁静之海”，平坦的地方是为了让最初的着陆尝试变得容易，从而避免必须躲避山脉。
Bill Anders : So by the time we got around the third revolution, by this time, we’d sort of saturated on the Moon.
比尔·安德斯：所以当我们进行第三次革命时，到了这个时候，我们在月球上已经饱和了。
Bill Anders : Oh my god, look at that picture over there.
比尔·安德斯：天哪，看看那边的照片。
That is the Earth coming up.
那是地球正在升起。
Wow, isn’t that pretty!
哇，那不是很漂亮吗！
Frank Borman : Hey don’t take that it’s not scheduled (laugh).
Frank Borman：嘿，别以为这不是预定的（笑）。
Bill Anders : You got a color film Jim?
比尔·安德斯：吉姆，你有一部彩色胶卷吗？
Hand me a role of color quick, would you?
快给我一个颜色的角色，好吗？
Jim Lovell : Oh man, that’s great.
吉姆·洛弗尔：天哪，那太好了。
Where is it?–
它在哪儿？——
Bill Anders : And so here was something that was different.
比尔·安德斯：所以这里有一些不同的东西。
Absolutely not briefed on, nobody had told us on the ground that the Earth was going to come up.
绝对没有得到任何简报，地面上没有人告诉我们地球将会出现。
We had no photographic instructions, no light meter.
我们没有摄影说明，没有测光表。
Bill Anders : Just grab me a color, a color exterior.
比尔·安德斯：给我一种颜色，一种颜色的外观。
Anything.
任何事物。
Quick.
快的。
Bill Anders : Just let me get the right setting.
Bill Anders：让我进行正确的设置。
Calm down.
冷静下来。
Calm down Lovell.
洛弗尔冷静点。
Jim Lovell : Oh I got it right – oh that’s a beautiful shot.
吉姆·洛弗尔：哦，我猜对了——哦，那是一个漂亮的镜头。
You’re sure we got it now?
你确定我们现在明白了吗？
Bill Anders : Yeah, it’ll come up again.
比尔·安德斯：是的，它会再次出现。
Bill Anders : And suddenly here was this beautiful shot, only color in the universe.
比尔·安德斯：突然间，这张美丽的照片出现了，宇宙中唯一的颜色。
Bill Anders : It would become the top 10 photograph of the twentieth century.
比尔·安德斯：它将成为二十世纪十大照片。
But of course I’m the guy that took it, what else would I say?
但当然我是那个接受它的人，我还能说什么？
Frank Borman : Well, let’s talk about that, that’s what I want – why don’t we do this, why don’t you hold it out the window like you did and I’ll say a couple words and then we’ll say something about how this kind of reminds you how it might have started.
弗兰克·博尔曼：好吧，让我们谈谈这个，这就是我想要的 - 我们为什么不这样做，为什么不像你那样把它举到窗外，我会说几句话，然后我们会说一些关于这种方式如何提醒你它可能是如何开始的。
We gotta do it up right because there’ll be more people will listen to this than ever listened to any other single person in history.
我们必须把它做好，因为将会有比历史上任何其他人更多的人来听这个。
Frank Borman : We’d been told before the flight, when you’re televising from the Moon on Christmas eve, you’ll have the largest audience that’s ever listened to a human voice.
弗兰克·博尔曼：在飞行之前我们就被告知，当你在圣诞节前夕从月球上进行电视转播时，你将拥有有史以来听到人类声音的最多的观众。
I said, that’s nice, what do you want us to do?
我说那太好了，你要我们做什么？
Do something appropriate!
做一些适当的事情！
We thought, what’s appropriate?
我们想，什么是合适的？
Bill Anders : Frank Borman went and asked a friend of his, who asked his wife.
比尔·安德斯：弗兰克·博尔曼去问了他的一个朋友，朋友又问了他的妻子。
Bill Anders : And she said, well why don’t you just tell them to read from the first book of Genesis, which, you know the creation myth, or the creation story, is pretty fundamental.
比尔·安德斯：她说，那你为什么不告诉他们阅读《创世记》第一本书，你知道创世神话或创世故事是非常基础的。
Frank Borman : And we looked at it, and we thought, all of us, this is perfect!
弗兰克·博尔曼：我们看着它，我们想，我们所有人，这都是完美的！
And for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you.
对于所有回到地球的人们，阿波罗 8 号的船员们想向你们传达一条信息。
In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth, and the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the water, and God said, let there be light, and there was light, and God saw the light, that it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness.
起初，神创造了天地，地是空虚混沌，渊面黑暗，神的灵运行在水面上，神说要有光，就有了光，神看见光是好的，就把光暗分开了。
Bill Anders : I can’t speak for the other guys, but to me it was not a religious thing, so much as it was a kind of a hard hit to the psychological solar plexus, that would help mark, to humankind the gravity – so to speak – of man’s first departure from his home planet.
比尔·安德斯：我不能代表其他人说话，但对我来说，这不是宗教的事情，而是对心理太阳神经丛的一种沉重打击，这将有助于向人类标记人类第一次离开家乡星球的重力。
Frank Borman :…and the gathering together of the waters called He seas; and God saw that it was good.
弗兰克·博尔曼：……以及被称为“海”的水域的聚集；神看是好的。
And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with goodnight, good luck, a Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth.
阿波罗 8 号的全体船员致以晚安、祝你好运、圣诞快乐，愿上帝保佑你们所有人，祝福地球上的所有人。
Valerie Anders : The day’s been hectic.
瓦莱丽·安德斯：这一天很忙碌。
We tried to sleep in because we’d been up so late.
我们想睡个懒觉，因为我们起得太晚了。
Christmas got a little bit late this morning.

So I think we’re late to church.
所以我想我们去教堂已经迟到了。
Thank you.
谢谢。
Susan Borman : Merry Christmas, thanks for being so patient.
苏珊·博尔曼：圣诞快乐，感谢您如此耐心。
Marilyn Lovell : It’s actually a very lonesome Christmas this morning.
玛丽莲·洛弗尔：今天早上实际上是一个非常孤独的圣诞节。
I miss Jim, but – it’s one of the happiest Christmases I think I’ll ever have.
我想念吉姆，但是——这是我认为我将度过的最快乐的圣诞节之一。
Bill Anders : All religions are based on the fact that the Earth is the focus of the universe, and God sits up there with his super computer and keeps track of all the rights and wrongs.
比尔·安德斯：所有宗教都基于这样一个事实：地球是宇宙的焦点，上帝用他的超级计算机坐在那儿，记录着所有的是非。
Orbiting Earth, and then going to the Moon – it’s given me a different outlook.
绕地球运行，然后前往月球——这给了我不同的看法。
The Earth is really nowhere near as special as we’d like to think it is.
地球实际上远没有我们想象的那么特别。
Though it is our home planet for humans, and it’s the only one we’ve got right now and there’s none in easy site to get to, so therefore we ought to take care of it.
虽然它是我们人类的家园，而且是我们目前唯一拥有的星球，而且没有容易到达的地方，所以我们应该照顾好它。
But, we shouldn’t think that this is the designated center of everything.
但是，我们不应该认为这是一切的指定中心。
Jim Lovell : Well did you guys ever think that one Christmas Eve you’d be orbiting the moon?
吉姆·洛弗尔：你们有没有想过在圣诞节前夕你们会绕月球运行？
Bill Anders : Let’s hope we’re not doing it on New Year’s.
比尔·安德斯：希望我们不会在新年这样做。
Jim Lovell : Hey, hey don’t talk like that Bill.
吉姆·洛弗尔：嘿，嘿，别像比尔那样说话。
Think positive.
积极思考。
Mission control : We show a loss of signal with the space craft.
任务控制：我们发现飞船失去了信号。
We are now about twenty-eight minutes prior to our Trans-Earth Injection maneuver.
现在距我们的跨地球注入演习还有大约二十八分钟。
Poppy Northcutt : You’re going to fire your engine basically one time, and that’s got to take you all the way home.
Poppy Northcutt：你基本上会点火一次，这就会带你一路回家。
A small miss, at the beginning, when you fire the engine, can represent a heck of a large miss at the end, like missing the whole planet.
一开始，当你启动引擎时，一个小小的失误，可能代表着最后的一个大失误，就像错过了整个星球一样。
Mission control : Hello, Apollo 8.
任务控制中心：你好，阿波罗 8 号。
Loud and clear.
响亮而清晰。
Jim Lovell : Roger, please be informed there is a Santa Claus.
吉姆·洛弗尔：罗杰，请注意，有一位圣诞老人。
Mission control : Apollo 8, can you confirm your burn time please?

Jim Lovell : Roger we have three minutes, twenty-three seconds.
吉姆·洛弗尔：好的，我们还有三分二十三秒。
Bill Anders : We were much faster on the way home.
比尔·安德斯：我们回家的路上更快了。
And we came in at night.
我们是晚上进来的。
We were in pitch darkness, and the parachutes – all we could feel was the jerk.
我们身处一片漆黑之中，降落伞——我们所能感觉到的只是震动。
Bill Anders : When the sun finally came up, I remember getting out on the carrier and walking across the deck, thinking if I don’t get to a toilet, I’m going to be embarrassed right in front of everybody.
比尔·安德斯：当太阳终于升起时，我记得下了航母，走过甲板，心想如果我不去厕所，我会在大家面前感到尴尬。
That’s my un-recorded world record, three quarters of a million miles without taking a crap.
这是我未记录的世界纪录，四分之三百万英里，没有拉屎。
Susan Borman : I’m still speechless.
苏珊·博尔曼：我还是无语。
Just tremendous relief and just truly the happiest day.
这是巨大的解脱，也是真正最快乐的一天。
I just can’t explain.
我就是无法解释。
Valerie Anders : I couldn’t believe it was going so perfectly, and I couldn’t believe that they actually sited that thing from the ship in the dark.
瓦莱丽·安德斯：我不敢相信事情进展得如此完美，我不敢相信他们真的在黑暗中从船上找到了那个东西。
Marilyn Lovell : And I am so proud for our country that we could accomplish – or our husbands could accomplish - this mission.
玛丽莲·洛弗尔：我为我们的国家感到非常自豪，因为我们能够完成——或者我们的丈夫能够完成——这一使命。
President Johnson : There’s just no other comparison that we can make that’s equal to what you’ve done, or to what we feel.
约翰逊总统：我们无法做出任何其他比较，可以与您所做的事情或我们的感受相媲美。
Because you’ve seen what man has really never seen before.
因为你看到了人类从未见过的东西。
You’ve taken us, taken all of us all over the world into a new era.
您带领我们，带领我们全世界所有人进入了一个新时代。
And my thoughts this morning went back to more than ten years ago in the Pedernalis Valley when we saw Sputnik racing through the skies, and we realized that America had a big job ahead of it.
今天早上我的思绪回到了十多年前，在佩德纳利斯山谷，当时我们看到人造卫星在天空中飞驰，我们意识到美国面前有一项艰巨的任务。
It gave me so much pleasure to know that you men have done a large part of that job.
得知你们已经完成了这项工作的很大一部分，我感到非常高兴。
So we rejoice that you’re well, and we send you congratulations from all of your fellow countrymen, and from all peace-loving people in the world.
因此，我们为您的康复感到高兴，并向您的全体同胞以及全世界爱好和平的人们致以祝贺。
Well done.
干得好。
Walter Cronkite : Today a great new chapter has been added to the story of creation and of growth.
沃尔特·克朗凯特：今天，创造和成长的故事又增添了伟大的新篇章。
Man literally has wrenched himself away from the Earth that bound him down through the millennium.
人类确实已经脱离了束缚他一千年的地球。
A year of trouble and turbulence, anger and assassination, is now coming to an end in incandescent triumph.
充满麻烦和动荡、愤怒和暗杀的一年现在即将在辉煌的胜利中结束。
Valerie Anders : I don’t know that I was prepared for that.
瓦莱丽·安德斯：我不知道我是否为此做好了准备。
My mother kept saying, do you only have one dress?
我妈一直说，你只有一件衣服吗？
But you know, we didn’t have any money so I only did have one dress.
但你知道，我们没有钱，所以我只有一件衣服。
So we went to New York, and New York was the ticker tape parade.
所以我们去了纽约，纽约是收报机游行的地方。
And then we went to Houston and all – all of the children were with us, in the Houston parade.
然后我们去了休斯顿，所有的孩子都和我们在一起，参加了休斯顿的游行。
It was – it was an interesting time.
那是——那是一段有趣的时光。
Poppy Northcutt : Afterwards, I got letters from all around the world.
Poppy Northcutt：后来，我收到了来自世界各地的来信。
I got tons of letters from African countries, all over the world, addressed to Poppy, Space Program, USA.
我收到了大量来自非洲国家和世界各地的信件，寄给美国太空计划的波比。
I got marriage proposals.
我收到了求婚。
I got letters from little girls all around the world too.
我也收到了来自世界各地小女孩的来信。
You know, I got tons of recognition that women could do a job that they never had thought before.
你知道，我得到了很多人的认可，女性可以从事她们以前从未想过的工作。
So, was it sexist?
那么，这是性别歧视吗？
Yes.
是的。
But you gotta start somewhere.
但你必须从某个地方开始。
Frank Borman : We had thousands of letters and telegrams and so on, after we got back from Apollo 8.
弗兰克·博尔曼：从阿波罗 8 号回来后，我们收到了数千封信件和电报等。
But the one that really caught my attention was a lady that said, thank-you, you saved 1968.
但真正引起我注意的是一位女士，她说，谢谢你，你拯救了 1968 年。
George Alexander : Well now that you’re back on Earth, and you had a sample of these receptions and parades, I guess you’re aware of the fact that your lives will never be free again of the moon’s influence.
乔治·亚历山大：既然你回到了地球，并且你已经了解了这些招待会和游行的样本，我想你已经意识到这样一个事实：你的生活将永远不会再摆脱月球的影响。
Were you prepared to deal with this before the flight and how do you feel about it now?
您在飞行前准备好处理这个问题了吗？您现在对此有何感想？
Jim Lovell : I feel that, right now, we are merely symbols of a program of which all Americans should be proud.
吉姆·洛弗尔：我觉得，现在，我们只是一个所有美国人都应该感到自豪的计划的象征。
But shortly we are going to have more flights, and shortly we’re going to have people who actually land, and walk, and explore the lunar surface.
但很快我们就会有更多的航班，很快我们就会有人真正登陆、行走和探索月球表面。
And I think these new symbols will far overshadow perhaps what we’ve done.
我认为这些新符号也许会远远掩盖我们所做的一切。
George Herman : Colonel Borman, that old master of rocketry, Wernher von Braun, has said that a circumlunar – a flight around the moon – gives you 80% of the credit with only 20% of the risk.
乔治·赫尔曼：博尔曼上校，老火箭大师沃纳·冯·布劳恩曾说过，绕月飞行——绕月飞行——可以为你带来 80% 的功劳，而风险只有 20%。
Does that mean that 80% of the risk of landing on the Moon is still ahead of you all?
这是否意味着登陆月球 80% 的风险仍然摆在你们面前？
Frank Borman : I haven’t tried to asses it in percentage points, but I would say that definitely the extremely risky part of the flight will be the actual touchdown on the lunar surface.
弗兰克·博尔曼：我没有尝试以百分点来评估，但我想说，飞行中风险极大的部分肯定是在月球表面的实际着陆。
Tom Lerher (playing the piano and singing): Gather round while I sing you of Wernher Von Braun A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience.
汤姆·勒赫（弹钢琴并唱歌）：聚集在一起，我为你们唱沃纳·冯·布劳恩（Wernher Von Braun）的歌，一个效忠于权宜之计的人。
Call him a Nazi, he won’t even frown.

Say, rather, that he’s apolitical.
相反，可以说他不关心政治。
Once the rockets are up who cares where they come down?
一旦火箭升起，谁会关心他们在哪里坠落呢？
That’s not my department, says Wernher Von Braun.
“那不是我的部门，”沃纳·冯·布劳恩说。
Some have harsh words for this man of renown, But some think our attitude should be one of gratitude, Like the widows and cripples in old London town Who owe their large pensions to Wernher Von Braun
有些人对这位名人有严厉的言辞，但有些人认为我们的态度应该是一种感激之情，就像伦敦老城区的寡妇和残疾人一样，他们欠沃纳·冯·布劳恩(Wernher Von Braun)一大笔养老金
You too may be a big hero Once you’ve learned to count backward to zero.
一旦你学会倒数到零，你也可能成为一个大英雄。
In German or English, I know how to count down And I’m learning Chinese, says Wernher Von Braun.
沃纳·冯·布劳恩 (Wernher Von Braun) 说，用德语或英语，我知道如何倒数，而且我正在学习中文。

We never really had any questions about what – what are all these Germans doing, you know, involved in this program.
我们从来没有真正质疑过这些德国人在做什么，你知道，参与这个计划。
That never came up.
那从来没有出现过。
He was kind of untouchable.
他有点不可触碰。
He was the rocket man and he was taking us to the Moon and then when things began to change, he handled it quite well.

Dick Cavett (Von Braun on The Dick Cavett Show): I believe you were forced to join the Nazi party, as I understand it.
迪克·卡维特（迪克·卡维特秀中的冯·布劳恩）：据我了解，我相信你是被迫加入纳粹党的。
Wernher von Braun (Von Braun on The Dick Cavett Show): No, that isn’t quite right.
沃纳·冯·布劳恩（《迪克·卡维特秀》中的冯·布劳恩）：不，这不太正确。
Dick Cavett (Von Braun on The Dick Cavett Show): Oh.
迪克·卡维特（迪克·卡维特秀中的冯·布劳恩）：哦。
I was trying to make it sound...

记者：冯·布劳恩博士，您是否知道您在德国工作的工厂附近有一个奴隶营？
Wernher von Braun : Well, you are misinformed.
沃纳·冯·布劳恩：好吧，你被误导了。
The slave camp was about 400 miles from where I worked because I was in charge of the development of the V-2 rocket which took place in Peenemünde on the Baltic, and this slave camp was in central Germany in the Harz mountains
奴隶营距离我工作的地方大约 400 英里，因为我负责 V-2 火箭的开发，该项目在波罗的海的佩内明德进行，而这个奴隶营位于德国中部的哈尔茨山脉
Reporter : Were you aware that there were any atrocities taking place there?
记者：您知道那里发生过暴行吗？
Wernher von Braun : I learned later on that there were atrocities taking place there, but I was not involved in this whole operation.
沃纳·冯·布劳恩：我后来了解到那里发生了暴行，但我没有参与整个行动。
George Alexander : He had to have known that all those people he saw pushing heavy equipment were horribly abused.
乔治·亚历山大：他一定知道他看到的所有推着重型设备的人都受到了可怕的虐待。
He would have had to have been blind, deaf, and mute, not to have known that.
如果他不知道这一点，那他一定是瞎了、聋了、哑了。
Reporter : Do you feel that it will hinder your reputation at all?
记者：您觉得这会损害您的声誉吗？
Wernher von Braun : Well that remains to be seen.
