03:54 From the moment you set foot inside the National Air and Space Museum's main hall, you can't help but look up.
04:00 America's journey to the sky and beyond will take you away.
04:05 This new set of exhibits is really unlike anything anyone in America has ever seen.
04:09 Absolutely.
04:10 The experience for guests now more dynamic and interactive.
04:14 This is what it would be like to be on an asteroid.
04:17 Christopher Brown is the museum's director.
04:20 Whether you're a child or an adult coming in here, the hope is and certainly the expectation is that you walk through here and you will learn something.
04:27 It's all part of a seven-year, one-billion-dollar effort to re-energize the museum, bringing it into the 21st century.
04:34 The punctuation of a painstaking process where the Smithsonian's team removed and reinstalled countless artifacts, including a massive DC-3.
04:45 Here you can relive our advancements in engineering from the Wright brothers' first foray into flight.
04:51 We want to inspire, we want to excite, and we want to create enthusiasm for the history of flight.
04:57 To the ongoing missions by rovers like Curiosity, millions of miles away.
05:03 I think the thing that many folks will realize, perhaps for the first time, is the size and scale of the activity that we're now doing on the surface of Mars.
05:13 With an emphasis on inclusivity, the new displays feature women and people of color,
05:18 including a T-38 flown by Jackie Cochran, the first woman to break the sound barrier, back in 1953,
05:25 who, when she died, held more speed and altitude records than any man alive.
05:31 We want a little girl to walk into the museum, look around, and say, "This is amazing. I want to be part of this."
05:38 Hollywood also takes a bow.
05:41 This is not bad at all.
05:43 See what you can do with it. Hang on back there.
05:46 With R2-D2 and an actual X-wing starfighter from the Star Wars franchise.
05:51 This is the real thing. You can just construct this.
05:54 No, no, this is the real deal.
05:56 Back in this galaxy, an in-depth exploration into our solar system, including engine pieces recovered from the bottom of the ocean,
06:04 belonging to the iconic Apollo 11 mission that, in 1969, put the first man on the moon.
06:10 That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
06:18 It's an extraordinary chance to get an up-close look at how we got to space.
06:23 If it were standing on the pad and you could walk underneath it, this is what you'd see.
06:28 With a renewed hope of inspiring the next generation.
06:35 Back now in the Destination Moon exhibit, and you'd really have to come with me to see it for yourself to believe it.
06:40 This is what it's like to stand beneath one of those F-1 engines.
06:44 18,000 pounds. Look at that. Looking straight up.
06:49 They had to build a new steel structure just to hold this thing up here.
06:52 The renovations aren't entirely completed. It's going to be reopened in phases.
06:56 The next phase in 2024.
06:59 And the good news for everybody, coming here is free.
07:02 [Indistinct chatter]
07:23 [Indistinct chatter]
07:33 [Indistinct chatter]
08:01 [Indistinct chatter]
08:14 [Indistinct chatter]
08:43 [Indistinct chatter]
09:06 [Indistinct chatter]
09:34 [Indistinct chatter]
09:50 [Indistinct chatter]
10:03 [Indistinct chatter]
10:31 All right, everybody, our next stop. Now we will go back to Manhattan.
10:35 So I mentioned this for all of you to know. In order to get to Philly, it will take approximately three hours.
10:41 So it's like halfway before we get to Manhattan.
10:45 So we get to see a little Philadelphia and then we go back to Manhattan.
10:50 [Indistinct chatter]
11:06 We're in the state of Pennsylvania. And I was telling you how important this city is.
11:13 Philadelphia is the cradle of independence.
11:19 As for why Philadelphia is important, because before Washington, it would be here that the capital of the country was settled down.
11:27 Here in Philadelphia. Philadelphia was the very first capital of the United States.
11:31 With time, it changed its location to where we just were a moment ago, Washington, D.C.
11:37 Of course, you can imagine that it was named after the first president of the United States, George Washington.
11:43 Now, here is the dark side of Washington that not too many people know.
11:49 George Washington himself also had slaves.
11:54 But I'm not telling you that he had one or two slaves.
11:57 No, at least we know and we have records that he had 200 slaves.
12:02 And of course, you can imagine that everybody was mad at him and they would point at him.
12:09 And he would be like, no, no, no, no, no. Of course, I'm going to free my slaves.
12:14 When? Oh, yeah, when I die.
12:17 And this is actually what he did.
12:19 He would write down in his will that he would free his slaves after he died.
12:24 But only 50 percent of them.
12:28 As for the others, they were like, and what about the others?
12:31 Oh, well, no. The thing is that, you know, my wife, well, she also needs her slaves, right?
12:36 So after she dies, we're going to free them.
12:39 And this is what he did.
12:42 The only president for human rights against slavery, and he would be the very first president in the history of the United States,
12:53 saying that women also have the right to vote, was Abraham Lincoln.
12:59 Unfortunately, Abraham Lincoln got orphaned by his mother's side when his mother drank a glass of milk.
13:07 This cow ate so many herbs and plants containing highly poisonous substances that when she got milked,
13:19 unfortunately, it was that cow that she drank directly from her.
13:23 And when this happened, well, she died.
13:26 This is how Nancy Hanks died.
13:29 And just as I just showed you a moment ago, now we know that Tom Hanks and Abraham Lincoln were related.
13:39 They are distant cousins.
13:42 Did you know that fact?
13:45 This is the part when you say, "Oh."
13:50 As for why Philadelphia is so important, imagine, you guys, that it would be here in Philadelphia that the Declaration of Independence got signed.
14:00 And they would ring the bell, the Independence Bell that you're about to see,
14:05 so people could go and witness that very important historical event.
14:10 This is why Philadelphia has so much historical importance.
14:15 Hey, everybody, do you like sports?
14:18 Yes.
14:20 Please go get your camera and your phone ready.
14:23 Get your camera and your phone ready because you're about to see the sports complex.
14:28 You will get to see the basketball, the baseball, and the American football stadium, and it will be on your left side.
14:36 Everybody, look to your left. In the window on your left, you're about to see the sports complex of Philadelphia.
14:46 You will see the basketball, baseball, and American football stadiums.
14:52 [no audio]
15:10 There are 68,000 people, and this is home of the Eagles of Philadelphia.
15:16 The Eagles of Philadelphia have been winners of the tournaments of 1948, 1949, 1960, and 1978.
15:26 In here, also, bands and singers perform, and they give their shows.
15:33 Just last week, British singer Ed Sheeran performed here in his American tour at the Lincoln Financial Fund.
15:42 This one right here on your left, this is the basketball stadium.
15:46 [no audio]
15:46 [speaking Spanish]

16:28 In the very back on your left, Phillies. That's the baseball stadium.
16:33 [no audio]
16:48 All right, everybody. Time to start getting ready.
16:50 [speaking Spanish]
16:56 This is also important because it's a little bit one of the many traits Philadelphia has.
17:03 Philadelphia is the second city in the world, only after Paris, with the most number of urban paintings.
17:13 These paintings decorate beautifully the city of Philadelphia.
17:18 Over 4,000 urban murals you can see here in the city of Philadelphia.
17:24 [speaking Spanish]
17:28 Hamburgers. What else? Pizza. Hamburgers, pizza, fries, roast chicken, et cetera.
17:35 I'm asking you about American food because it would be here in Philadelphia that also one of the main symbols is the pretzel.
17:44 The pretzel, it would be here in Philadelphia, they eat the most number of pretzels in all of the United States.
17:52 That's why they have as a symbol the pretzel cookie.
17:55 [speaking Spanish]
18:13 This beautiful bridge that we're about to drive past, this is the Franklin Bridge.
18:19 This is also important because you all know that Benjamin Franklin died here in Philadelphia,
18:24 and he was one of the people who was here at the Independence Wall, and he signed the Declaration of Independence.
18:31 On your right side, one of the multiple murals that you're about to see here in Philadelphia, you can see the flag of the United States.
18:39 [speaking Spanish]
19:05 Under this bridge, both on your right and on your left, you can appreciate a little of this painting that I was telling you about.
19:11 It represents the electricity discovered by Benjamin Franklin.
19:14 [speaking Spanish]
19:22 [ambient noise]
19:38 [speaking Spanish]
19:40 The Liberty Bells.

20:29 [speaking Spanish]
20:56 You're looking at this is the most important building here in Philadelphia.
21:00 This is the Independence Wall.
21:02 It would be at this building where they signed the Declaration of Independence.
21:07 And if you happen to have a $100 bill, okay, the picture that it displays is right there, okay?
21:14 And it is also a World Human Heritage by UNESCO because of its very important, historical importance.

23:05 Throughout America's history, the Liberty Bell embodied the ideals of freedom to a myriad of social movements.
23:12 Originally dubbed the Pennsylvania State House Bell, the Liberty Bell rang and resided first in the tower of the Pennsylvania State House.
23:20 In 1753, the year the State House was finished, Whitehall Chapel Foundry in London cast the original bell.
23:28 But within weeks of the bell's first use, problems arose with its integrity.
23:33 Pass and Stowe, owners of a local Philadelphia bell foundry, received the assignment to recast the bell.
23:40 Beginning in the 1750s, the Pennsylvania State House Bell tolled to announce news and gatherings throughout the city of Philadelphia.
23:48 [ambient noise]
23:52 Following the French and Indian War, the relationship between American colonists and Great Britain declined quickly.
23:59 Despite the colonists' faithfulness to the Crown during the war, the British Parliament forced higher taxes upon the colonists to pay for the debts incurred during the conflict.
24:08 With the passage of the Revised Sugar Act in 1764 and the Stamp Act in 1765, the American colonists quickly grew agitated with the new taxes.
24:18 Within the city of Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania State House Bell gathered citizens for announcements of laws from Great Britain.
24:25 The colonists associated the chiming of the Pennsylvania State House Bell with unwanted, tyrannical legislation from a Parliament where they were not represented.
24:35 As history progressed, the Liberty Bell remained a beacon of freedom.
24:40 Across the top of the bell is the biblical passage Leviticus 25.5.
24:46 "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof."
24:52 This statement inspired the famous abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison.
24:57 Although the exact person remains undetermined, historians credit the abolition movement with giving the Pennsylvania State House Bell its new name, the Liberty Bell.
25:07 Abolitionists used the Liberty Bell as literal inspiration.
25:11 The Friends of Freedom, an abolitionist group headquartered in Boston, chose to name their annual publication the Liberty Bell.
25:19 Each year, the cover of their publication used images to protest the evils of slavery.
25:25 The American movement for women's rights began in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848.
25:31 This early women's rights movement focused primarily on the right to vote, yet their desire was for women to receive equal treatment in all areas of society.
25:40 The relationship between the women's suffrage movement and the Liberty Bell began when Mrs. Charles Worcester Ruchenberger paid for the creation of the Justice Bell.
25:50 The Justice Bell was an exact replica of the original Liberty Bell and traveled throughout the United States garnering support for the women's suffrage movement.
25:59 The clapper on the bell was chained so that the Justice Bell's first toll would be when women received the right to vote.
26:06 Ruchenberger said, "The original Liberty Bell announced the creation of democracy. The women's Liberty Bell will announce the completion of democracy."
26:16 In the 1960s, all of America found itself steeped in a heated battle for racial equality.
26:22 Throughout the country, many African Americans could not vote due to illegal racially motivated practices.
26:28 After the turmoil that unfolded during the famed 1965 Civil Rights March in Selma, Alabama, a group of University of Pennsylvania students organized a sit-in at the Liberty Bell.
26:39 In March 1965, the students passed out flyers to raise support. Their intent was to capture the attention of the national media, and they did.
26:48 Their sit-in evolved into a sleep-in, and by August of 1965, the Voting Rights Act was passed. While it did not end discrimination, it made discrimination at the polls illegal.
27:00 Throughout its history, the Liberty Bell has been associated with many social movements.
27:05 Presently, we still see logos and advertisements featuring this hallowed old bell as a symbol of American freedom.
27:11 As time passes, the Liberty Bell will continue to shine as a beacon of hope, equality, and liberty for all.

28:26 Something very interesting that happens here in Philadelphia, now that I was mentioning about American food.
28:41 So they carry out this very curious eating contest in Philadelphia known as the Wing Bowl.
28:48 It is in order to find out how many chicken wings you can eat in half an hour.
28:52 So how many do you think the last winner ate?
28:55 Okay, you can give me a number, there are no wrong answers, but just give me an estimated number of how many chicken wings do you think she or he ate.
29:02 250?
29:04 Someone else?
29:06 500?
29:07 Oh my God, that's like a lot.
29:09 Alright, so this is Molly, she was the last winner of the Wing Bowl.
29:19 Molly ate 501 chicken wings in half an hour.

31:27 What you're looking at, this is the city hall of Philadelphia, one of the highest towns where we are.
31:34 And also, if you look at the tower, you will get to see the statue of a man, that's William Penn.
31:41 He is the founder of the city, and he is the one that gave Philadelphia the name of Philadelphia.
31:49 Philadelphia comes from the Greek roots, philo, lo, brother.
31:55 Philadelphia is the city of brotherly love.
31:59 [Speaking Spanish]
32:22 [Speaking Spanish]
32:51 So what he did, he would watch boxing matches over and over again, so many of them.
32:58 That inspiration came to him, and he wrote down the script of Rocky in just three days.
33:03 He wanted to see Hollywood producers, but everybody would reject his project.
33:09 Until finally, he got accepted, and it was a very cheap movie.
33:14 It was made with a budget of less than one million dollars.
33:17 Imagine the surprise that this movie would have over 200 million dollars in gaining.
33:24 And we're talking about that this is the only sport-themed movie winner of an Oscar.
33:33 Get ready, everybody. Less than one minute away from the Rocky story.
33:41 [Speaking Spanish]
34:08 Okay, this avenue where we are driving past, this avenue is known as the Route of Friendship.
34:14 If you see both on the right and on the left side, you will see all of the world flags.
34:20 And it would be from here that Sylvester Stallone started running until he went directly into the staircase right in front of you.
34:28 That's the Museum of Art.
