LOT OF POLITICIANS AND
SUPERSTARS TAKING ON A
IMPORTANT ROLE.
WE WILL KEEP YOU POSTED
THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
REMEMBER THE 50th
ANNIVERSARY OF THE
APOLLO 11 MISSION?
A HIGH-TECH PERFORMANCE
ART SHOW AT THE ROSE
BOWL.
SUZANNE: CBS2 KARA FINNSTROM IS
LIVE IN PASADENA WITH A PREVIEW
OF APOLLO 11: THE LIVE SHOW.
REPORTER: LOOK AT THIS,
INCREDIBLE THEATER.
THEY ACTUALLY BUILT THIS
IN ABOUT SEVEN WEEKS AND
YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE
ALL THE WAY AROUND US IN
ON THE CEILING AND ON
THIS WHILE OVER HERE,
THEY ARE ALL SCREENS
AMAZING THEATRICAL FEET
TO TELL THE STORY OF THE
APOLLO 11 LANDING 50
YEARS AGO AND ONE EXPERT
THEY BROUGHT IN IS GERRY
GRIFFIN, THE FLIGHT
DIRECTOR ON THAT DAY.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
WE WILL SHOW FOLKS AT
HOME SOME FOOTAGE OF
ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE OF WHAT
THE DAY LOOKED LIKE.
MANY FOLKS MAY NOT
REMEMBER IT, BUT TELL US
YOUR ROLE.
A FLIGHT DIRECTOR IN
MISSION CONTROL WAS LIKE
A SYMPHONY CONDUCTOR.
DIDN'T PLAY THE
INSTRUMENTS, BUT YOU
MADE TO
THE SOUND COUNT OUT
RIGHT IN THE END AND
SIMILAR WE LISTENED TO
INPUT
GO DECISION THAT YOU HAD
TO MAKE THROUGHOUT THE
MISSION.
IT WAS A GREAT JOB.
YOU ARE AT THE TOP OF
THIS AT LEAST AS FAR AS
THE GROUND WAS CONCERNED
YOU WERE AT THE TOP OF
THIS HUGE PYRAMID OF
PEOPLE THAT MADE IT ALL
HAPPEN AND IT FINALLY
CAME TOGETHER WITH YOU
AND THAT'S WHAT MADE IT
SPECIAL.
REPORTER: WE ALSO HAVE SHOTS TO
SHOW FOLKS OF THE PREMIER OR
ACTUALLY THE PREVIEW LAST NIGHT
FOR THE PREMIER WHICH IS TONIGHT
GIVES A FOLKS AN IDEA
WHAT THEY WILL SEE WITH
LOTS OF DIFFERENT
SPECIAL EFFECTS AND YOU
CAN ACTUALLY SEE MISSION
CONTROL THEIR IN SOME OF
THIS VIDEO.
IF YOU WOULD RECOUNT
PRESS ONE OF YOUR
FAVORITE MEMORIES HE
SAID WAS AS YOU STARTED
TO COME DOWN, NOT THE
LANDING BUT THE APPROACH
TO LANDING?
RIGHT.
THE MOMENTS I REMEMBER
FROM THE LANDING WAS
WHEN BUZZ WAS CALLING
OUT ALTITUDE AND DESCENT
RATES TO NIELSEN O'NEILL
CAN FOCUS OUTSIDE.
HE WAS TRYING TO FIND A
PLACE TO PUT IT DOWN AND
HE SLIPPED IN A COMMENT
AT ABOUT 30 FEET OFF THE
SERVICE.
HE SAID PICKING UP SOME
DUST AND IT SENT A CHILL
UP MY BACK THAT WE HAD A
SPACE SHIP WITH TWO GUYS
IN IT AND THEY WERE
BLOWING DUST OFF THE
MOON AND WE KNEW THEY
WOULD MAKE IT THEN
PERMIT SUCH A STORY.
YOU KNOW, THIS
PRODUCTION I HAVE BEEN
INVOLVED WITH IT OVER A
YEAR AND IT IS REALLY--
IT'S GOING TO BE
EXCITING FOR ANYONE THAT
SEES IT FROM START TO
FINISH.
REPORTER: IT IS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
JOINING US.
DEMARCO, SUZANNE,
