[0:21] fellow astronauts and you still I'm sure
[0:24] consider yourself one it certainly must
[0:26] be just a very exciting and very
[0:29] interesting time for you but you're also
[0:31] in the business of briefing the
[0:32] president on what's going on and I'm
[0:34] sure he's interested as well yes the
[0:36] president is very interested very
[0:38] concerned of course with this flight and
[0:39] all flights and we're uh my staff and
[0:42] the council along with others have uh
[0:44] provided a focus for the White House for
[0:46] information with keeping them informed
[0:48] and helping them understand uh the
[0:50] processes that go on through this flight
[0:52] and this problem is this in a sense good
[0:55] for the Space Program
[0:58] Bill well I think think that uh we have
[1:01] this program that's uh designed to be
[1:03] forward-looking and balanced and I think
[1:05] that it's been also designed to be able
[1:08] to accept and cope with a the various
[1:11] hazards associated with an advancing
[1:12] exploration program of course as I said
[1:15] we'll stop and and evaluate the damage
[1:17] maybe this uh this pause will be a
[1:20] period of revitalization and and deeper
[1:23] analysis but it's my feeling that it was
[1:25] worth going to the Moon before Apollo 13
[1:28] it's certainly worth going to the Moon
[1:30] after it and Apollo 14 and Beyond and
[1:31] I'm sure that Jim LEL Fred Hayes and
[1:34] Jack schwager would agree with that and
[1:36] there certainly are going to be as many
[1:38] people Blas about the next trip as there
[1:40] were about the this one as it began well
[1:43] this is a very exciting stimulating and
[1:45] uh and hazardous business but one that I
[1:47] think is well worth the risk of this
[1:49] count
