Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins and Chris Kraft speak about Apollo Space Program

This is a rare treat for space historians, all three members of the Apollo 11 crew plus the man who was in charge of Mission Control during the Apollo era speak at the annual John Glenn Lecture series at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. The audience included many key NASA people including the new NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and the STS125 Space Shuttle crew which recently conducted a service mission to the Hubble Space Telescope.
