The TV journalist was trying to get the former NASA astronaut to say how frightening it was that the Chinese had landed a machine on the dark side of the Moon and he said (in so many words) "I've trained and lived alongside Russian and Chinese cosmonauts- and none of us was interested in national prestige or military advantage; we were doing what we did on behalf of Humanity."
