WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON.

WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON
IN THIS DECADE

AND DO THE OTHER THINGS,

NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY,
BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE HARD.

WE SET SAIL ON THIS NEW SEA

BECAUSE THERE IS NEW KNOWLEDGE
TO BE GAINED

AND NEW RIGHTS TO BE WON,

AND THEY MUST BE WON AND USED

FOR THE PROGRESS
OF ALL MANKIND.

WE SHALL SEND TO THE MOON,

240,000 MILES AWAY FROM
THE CONTROL STATION IN HOUSTON,

A GIANT ROCKET
MORE THAN 300 FEET TALL,

MADE OF NEW METAL ALLOYS,

SOME OF WHICH
HAVE NOT YET BEEN INVENTED,

CAPABLE OF STANDING HEAT
AND STRESSES

SEVERAL TIMES MORE

THAN HAVE EVER
BEEN EXPERIENCED,

FITTED TOGETHER

WITH A PRECISION BETTER
THAN THE FINEST WATCH,

CARRYING ALL THE EQUIPMENT

NEEDED FOR PROPULSION, GUIDANCE,
CONTROL,

COMMUNICATIONS, FOOD,
AND SURVIVAL,

ON AN UNTRIED MISSION
TO AN UNKNOWN CELESTIAL BODY,

AND, THEREFORE, AS WE SET SAIL,
WE ASK GOD'S BLESSING

ON THE MOST HAZARDOUS
AND DANGEROUS

AND GREATEST ADVENTURE
ON WHICH MAN HAS EVER EMBARKED.

THANK YOU.

JUST LIKE A PERSON WAITING
IN THE WINGS TO GO ON STAGE,

THEY PROBABLY HAVE LESS TIME
TO DAYDREAM

BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO
REMEMBER WHAT THEY'VE GOT TO DO.

YOU KNOW, I HAD THE FEELING THAT
I REALLY OUGHT TO CONCENTRATE

ON REMEMBERING THE THINGS
THAT I HAD TO DO AT THE MOON

AND ALL THAT.

Duke: GOSH, HERE WE ARE,
AND WE'RE GETTING DOWN CLOSE.

I HOPE THE SUIT CHECKS OUT OKAY.

YOU GET SWEATY PALMS,
AND YOUR HEART STARTS POUNDING.

IT WAS LIKE THE BIG GAME
ABOUT TO START.

YOU'RE IN YOUR WORK
CLOTHES, READY TO GO TO WORK,

BUT YOU STILL HAVE
TO STAY THERE.

YOU HAVE TO SCHEDULE IT
IN CONJUNCTION

WITH THE BOOSTER SCHEDULE
ITSELF.

YOU'RE PLUGGED INTO A CONSOLE
THAT'S SUPPLYING 100% OXYGEN.

IT'S KIND OF A CATCH-UP TIME

IF THERE'S A PROBLEM
WITH THE BOOSTER OR SOMETHING,

WE'RE THERE,
AND NOT SITTING OUT AT THE PAD

UNTIL THE COUNT GETS
TO A CERTAIN POINT,

AND THEN WE'RE CALLED TO PROCEED
TO THE SPACECRAFT.

Woman:
Y'ALL TAKE CARE, NOW.

GODSPEED, MEN.

THAT SAID, "DON'T -- DON'T
COUNT ON THIS SO HEAVILY.

IT MIGHT NOT HAPPEN."

THIS IS SUCH A BIG THING.

I-I FRANKLY DON'T SEE
HOW YOU CAN DO IT.

EVEN WHEN PARTICIPATING IN IT,

I THINK IT'S AUDACIOUS
THAT YOU WOULD TRY.

I CLEARLY COULD NEVER
UNDERSTAND, AS A CREWMAN,

HOW TO -- HOW TO MAKE IT WORK.

I COULD ONLY LEARN
HOW TO OPERATE MY SHARE OF IT.

BEING COMMAND PILOT, I WAS
SITTING IN THE CENTER SEAT,

SO THAT MEANT I CLIMBED IN LAST.

I JUST STOOD AROUND AND WAITED
UNTIL THEY STRAPPED IN,

AND HERE WAS
KIND OF A STRANGE QUIET.

LOOK OUT AND YOU CAN SEE
A LARGE PART OF THE STATE

AND THE OCEAN AND -- AND
THIS -- THIS THING OUT HERE.

YOU HAVE THE FEELING
THAT IT'S ALIVE.

THAT'S THE KIND OF THING THAT
SORT OF, FOR THE FIRST TIME,

BEGINS TO BRING HOME THE FACT
THAT TODAY IS NOT THE GAME

WE'VE BEEN PLAYING IN TRAINING
FOR YEARS.

THIS IS REALITY.

I HAD THE ONLY WINDOW
AT THIS POINT,

AND I LOOKED OUT,

AND DOGGONE IF THE MOON
WASN'T VISIBLE IN THE DAYLIGHT

RIGHT STRAIGHT OUT THE TOP
OF THE WINDOW.

I KNOW THEY'RE
DOING THEIR JOB RIGHT

BECAUSE THE MOON IS RIGHT
STRAIGHT AHEAD, AND THAT'S
WHERE WE'RE POINTED.

AND, YOU KNOW,
THEY'RE JUST GONNA LAUNCH US
RIGHT STRAIGHT TO THIS THING.

THIS IS APOLLO SATURN
LAUNCH CONTROL.

ALL STILL GO
ON THE APOLLO MISSION,

THE FLIGHT TO LAND
THE FIRST MEN ON THE MOON.

THE SPACECRAFT, ALSO,
NOW IS ON FULL INTERNAL POWER.

UP TO THIS TIME,

THE SPACECRAFT, ALSO,
NOW IS ON FULL INTERNAL POWER.

ONCE WE GET DOWN TO
THE 3:10 MARK IN THE COUNTDOWN,

WE'LL GO
ON AN AUTOMATIC SEQUENCE.

ALL ASPECTS FROM THERE ON DOWN
WILL BE AUTOMATIC,

RUN BY
THE GROUND MASTER COMPUTER

HERE IN THE FIRING ROOM.

EXACTLY. WE DON'T HAVE
ANY PLACE TO COPY IT DOWN.

Man:
HE'S NOT GIVING EXACT.

HE'S JUST LOOKING
ACROSS THE FLIGHT PLAN

TO FIND OUT
WHAT THE HELL THE TREND IS.

WE HAVE SOME 7.6 MILLION POUNDS
OF THRUST

PUSHING THE VEHICLE UPWARD,

A VEHICLE THAT WEIGHS
CLOSE TO 6 1/2 MILLION POUNDS.

WE ALL ARE IN THIS TOGETHER
AS A TEAM EFFORT.

WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT WORK,

AND I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO MAKE IT WORK.

I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO DO MOST OF THIS MISSION,

BUT I DO KNOW
THAT I CAN ASSURE YOU

THAT MY PIECE OF IT
IS GONNA WORK,

AND IT WON'T FAIL BECAUSE OF ME.

THE MEMBERS OF THE LAUNCH TEAM,
HERE IN THE CONTROL CENTER,

MONITORING A NUMBER OF
WHAT WE CALL RED-LINE VALUES.

THESE ARE TOLERANCES WE DON'T
WANT TO GO ABOVE AND BELOW

IN TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES.

THEY ARE STANDING BY
TO CALL OUT

ANY DEVIATIONS FROM OUR PLANS.

ALL INDICATIONS
COMING INTO THE CONTROL CENTER

AT THIS TIME
INDICATE WE ARE AT GO.

THE TEST SUPERVISOR NOW
HAS INFORMED

LAUNCH VEHICLE TESTING
THAT YOU ARE GO FOR LAUNCH.

3:25 AND COUNTING.
WE'RE STILL GO AT THIS TIME.

THERE'S A LONG PERIOD OF TIME

WHERE YOU'VE DONE ALL THE THINGS
IN THE COCKPIT YOU CAN DO,

AND THERE ARE VERY FEW THINGS
LEFT TO SAY.

YOU DON'T KNOW
ANY NEW JOKES TO TELL.

THERE'S JUST NOT MUCH
LEFT TO SAY

EXCEPT JUST SIT THERE AND WAIT.

IT FEELS GOOD.

ASTRONAUTS REPORT
"IT FEELS GOOD."

1:25 AND COUNTING.

OUR STATUS BOARD INDICATES

THE THIRD STAGE
COMPLETELY PRESSURIZED.

GUIDANCE SYSTEM
GOES ON INTERNAL AT 17 SECONDS,

LEADING UP TO THE IGNITION
SEQUENCE AT 8.9 SECONDS.

POWER TRANSFER IS COMPLETE.

[ SIREN WAILS ]

FIRING COMMAND COMING IN NOW.

WE ARE ON
THE AUTOMATIC SEQUENCE.

T-MINUS 60 SECONDS
AND COUNTING.

WE'RE ON INTERNAL POWER

WITH THE LAUNCH VEHICLE
AT THIS TIME.

ALL THE SECOND-STAGE TANKS
NOW PRESSURIZED.

35 SECONDS AND COUNTING.

Man: GO.

IT WON'T FAIL BECAUSE OF ME.

T-MINUS 20 SECONDS
AND COUNTING.

15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9.

LAUNCH COMMIT.

[ BEEP ]

Man:YAHOO!

IT FEELS JUST LIKE IT SOUNDS.

Man:I GOT A PITCH
AND A ROLL PROGRAM,

AND THIS BABY
IS REALLY GOING.

Man:ROGER THAT.
STAND BY FOR MODE ONE BRAVO.

MARK ONE BRAVO.

THAT'S A LOVELY LIFTOFF.
THAT'S NOT BAD AT ALL.

Irwin: THE MOMENT THERE
JUST IS SUPREME ELATION,

COMPLETE RELEASE OF TENSIONS,

TO FEEL ALL THAT POWER
PRECISELY DIRECTED,

TO KNOW THAT WE'RE ON COURSE,

FIRST OF ALL FOR EARTH ORBIT,

AND THEN PRECISELY INSERTED
ONTO THE RIGHT ORBIT,

THE RIGHT TRAJECTORY,
FOR A RENDEZVOUS WITH THE MOON.

Man:
APOLLO TO HOUSTON.

YOU'RE RIGHT SMACK-DAB
ON THE TRAJECTORY.

YOUR I.U.'s
DOING A BEAUTIFUL JOB.

I GOT A YAW PROGRAM.

Man:TRAJECTORY IS GOOD.
THRUST IS GOOD.

Man:WE'RE ON OUR WAY,
HOUSTON.

AT LAST, I'M LEAVING THE EARTH,
AND I'M DESTINED FOR THE MOON.

Man:WHAT A RIDE.
WHAT A RIDE.

Man:ROGER.
WE COPY, PETE.

Man:ROGER.
LOOKS GOOD UP HERE, TOO.

ROLL'S COMPLETE.

THIS IS REALLY
A ROCKIN' AND ROLLIN' RIDE.

Roosa: YOU CAN FEEL IT SHAKE.
THERE'S A REAL STRONG VIBRATION.

OF COURSE, YOU'RE UP AT THE END
OF THIS BEAUTY.

HERE YOU ARE, GOING ALONG
WITH THE "G" ON YOU.

IT'S UP TO ABOUT 4 G's,

BUT YOU'RE PSYCHED UP,
GOOD SHAPE, AND ALL THAT.

EVEN LIFTING YOUR ARM
TO MOVE SWITCHES, NO PROBLEM.

Man:APOLLO,
YOU ARE GO FOR STAGING.

HERE YOU ARE,
COMING UP ON STAGING,

AND WHEN STAGING HAPPENS,
IT'S, LIKE, MAN!

WE GOT SKIRT STEP.

Man:AND THERE'S
FULL IGNITION, HOUSTON.

Man:EMISSION CONFIRMED.
THRUST IS GO.

ROGER.

TRAJECTORY, GUIDANCE,
CMC ARE ALL GO.

THANK YOU, JOE.

Man:HOUSTON,
YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD HERE --

RIGHT DOWN
THE CENTER LINE.

Man:THAT WAS SHUTDOWN
RIGHT ON THE MONEY.

17, HOUSTON, YOU ARE GO
FOR ORBIT -- GO FOR ORBIT.

AND WE'RE -- WE'RE OUT
OVER THE CANARIES.

Man:APOLLO, HOUSTON.
THROUGH THE CANARIES.

HOW DO YOU READ?

Man:YOU'RE LOUD AND CLEAR,
HOUSTON, OVER THE CANARIES.

BOY, IT'S JUST
BEAUTIFUL UP HERE,

LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW.

IT'S JUST REALLY FANTASTIC.

ROGER.

Man:LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT THE RIDE.

UH, JOHN,
THIS IS HOUSTON.

IF THERE'S NOTHING STARTLING
TO REPORT ABOUT THE RIDE,

WE'D RATHER HOLD OFF.

NO, THERE'S NOTHING REALLY
SPECTACULARLY DIFFERENT

TO REPORT
ON THE RIDE.

WE'LL HOLD OFF
ON THAT.

Man:THE SUNSET IS
JUST AS BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS

IN THIS SPACE BUSINESS.

Mattingly:
IN AFRICA, THERE ARE A LOT
OF NOMADS OUT IN THE DESERT.

CLEAR DESERT NIGHTS,

YOU SEE THE FIRES
FROM ALL OF THESE,

THESE LITTLE YELLOW DOTS
THAT REPRESENT FIRES

FROM ALL THESE NOMADS
CAMPING OUT,

AND YOU REALIZE THE BROAD AREA
THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT,

AND EACH OF THOSE LITTLE DOTS
REPRESENTED PEOPLE,

OTHER HUMANS THAT ARE OUT THERE

IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHICH I WOULD
CONSIDER MORE STRANGE

THAN THE ENVIRONMENT
THEY MIGHT THINK ABOUT ME.

Duke: WHEN YOU GET THERE
IN ORBIT, THE ENGINES SHUT DOWN,

AND THINGS SORT OF
FEEL SORT OF FUNNY.

AND YOU SORT OF
UNBUCKLE YOUR SEAT BELT

AND WIGGLE AROUND
IN YOUR SEAT OR TAP YOUR TOES,

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
YOU'RE JUST --

BODY IS EVERYWHERE IN THE ROOM,

AND YOU'RE JUST DOING FLIPS
AND CARTWHEELS AND SPINS.

Cernan: YOUR FIRST FEELINGS OF
WEIGHTLESSNESS AS IT HITS YOU

IS LIKE GOING
DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD

ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR,

AND A CAR GOES OVER THE BUMP,

AND YOUR STOMACH GOES UP
INTO YOUR THROAT,

AND THEN YOU GET OVER THE BUMP,

AND YOU GET
THAT GOOD-SENSATION FEELING,

AND THEN -- BOOM --
YOU'RE BACK DOWN AGAIN...

ONLY WHEN YOU'RE IN SPACE
AND YOU GO INTO WEIGHTLESSNESS,

YOU GO OVER THAT BUMP
AND YOU NEVER COME DOWN.

Man:
12, HOUSTON, YOUR PROGRAM ALARM
WAS AN INTEGRATION PROBLEM.

CAN YOU GIVE US A VERB 96 ENTER
TO STOP YOUR INTEGRATION?

AND WE'D LIKE YOU
TO DO AN E-MOD DUMP.

GIVE US A 3-2-1-MARK
WHEN YOU DO YOUR VERB 74,

AND IF WE GET IT
DONE NOW,

WE SHOULD HAVE AN ANSWER
FOR YOU ON YOUR ERASABLE MEMORY

BY THE TIME
YOU GET TO GUAYMAS.

DO A VERB 96 FIRST.

Mattingly: WE HAD A GREAT DEAL
OF DIFFICULTY PAYING ATTENTION

TO WHAT OUR JOB WAS.

ALREADY
I WAS GETTING THE IMPRESSION

THAT THIS IS
SUCH AN AMAZING THING

THAT I'M GONNA
FORGET THESE THINGS.

"I KNOW I'M GOING TO LOSE
THIS IMAGE.

IT'S GONNA BE REPLACED
WITH ANOTHER."

EACH IMAGE CAME UP,
WAS THERE FOR A FLASH

TO BE APPRECIATED AND SAVORED,
AND THEN RELUCTANTLY LET GO

BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT IT'S GONNA
BE SUPERPOSED WITH OTHERS.

Man:AND, HOUSTON,
WE'RE BEGINNING TO SEE

A BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE HERE.

Man:OKAY.

WE'RE GIVING YOU A GO
FOR YOUR E.V.A. AT THIS TIME.

OKAY.

THE HATCH IS OPEN.
NO SWEAT.

OH, IT STAYED
JUST WHERE I WANT IT.

Man:DAVE, COME ON OUT,
WHEREVER YOU ARE.

Schweickart: WHEN YOU'RE OUTSIDE
IN ONE OF THOSE SPACE SUITS,

YOU'RE REALLY IN SPACE.

THERE ARE NO BOUNDARIES
TO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING.

IT'S LIKE HAVING A GOLDFISH BOWL
OVER YOUR HEAD

WHICH GIVES YOU
UNLIMITED VISIBILITY,

AND THEN THE PORTABLE
LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEM

IS JUST VERY, VERY QUIET.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S A WATER PUMP
IN IT THAT'S CIRCULATING WATER

THROUGH YOUR UNDERWEAR --
YOU KNOW, COOLING WATER --

AND THERE'S A FAN THAT'S
PUMPING THE OXYGEN THROUGH,

BUT THEY'RE VERY QUIET.

YOU CAN'T HEAR THEM AT ALL.

IT'S AS IF YOU'RE OUT THERE
WITHOUT ANYTHING ON...

HALLELUJAH.

HALLELUJAH, HOUSTON.

...SORT OF TOTAL COMPLETE
SILENCE AND THAT BEAUTIFUL VIEW

AND THE REALIZATION, OF COURSE,

THAT YOU'RE GOING
25,000 MILES AN HOUR.

YOU RECOGNIZE
THAT YOU'RE NOT THERE

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE TO BE THERE,

THAT YOU WERE JUST LUCKY.

YOU'RE THE REPRESENTATIVE
OF HUMANITY

AT THAT POINT IN HISTORY,

HAVING THAT EXPERIENCE,

IN A SENSE,
FOR THE REST OF MANKIND.

Man:THE FLIGHT DIRECTOR
SAYS GET BACK IN.

Man:
APOLLO CONTROL, HOUSTON.

2 HOURS, 25 MINUTES
GROUND ELAPSED TIME.

IT WILL BE DURING THIS PASS

THAT WE WILL HAVE
THE TRANSLUNAR INJECTION BURN.

Man:CAPCOM, WE'RE GO
FOR T.L.I.

ROGER.

GUYS, I'VE GOT THE WORD
YOU WANTED TO HEAR.

YOU ARE GO FOR T.L.I.
YOU'RE GO FOR THE MOON.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING TO BE
A LITTLE BIT REMORSEFUL ABOUT

ON GOING TO THE MOON,

IT WAS THAT YOU DIDN'T
GET A CHANCE

TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME
AROUND THE EARTH AS YOU'D LIKE,

BECAUSE THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT OF
VERY INTERESTING THINGS TO SEE.

Man:
3, 2, 1 -- IGNITION.

Man:WE CONFIRM IGNITION,
AND THE THRUST IS GO.

Man:YOU GUYS ARE REALLY HAULING
THE MAIL OUT OF THERE.

Man:
OH, YOU'D BETTER BELIEVE IT.

IT'S LIKE WE'RE CLIMBING
STRAIGHT UP, JOE.

IT'S A FANTASTIC SIGHT,

JUST LIKE
WE WERE SHOT STRAIGHT UP.

YOU'RE GOING
ABOUT 6,000 FEET A SECOND.

Man:THEIR PRESENT ALTITUDE
IS NOW ABOUT 3,000 MILES,

THE SPACECRAFT MOVING AT
NEARLY 35,000 FEET PER SECOND.

THESE THREE CREW MEMBERS

ARE TRAVELING FASTER
THAN MAN HAS EVER FLOWN BEFORE.

Lovell:
THERE'S NOT MUCH SENSATION
OF WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING

EXCEPT THAT WE'RE LOOKING
AT THE COMPUTER,

AND THE COMPUTER
IS ADDING UP THE VELOCITY,

AND SUDDENLY WE REALLY KNEW
THAT WE WERE REALLY TRAVELING...

AND, SHOOT,
WHEN THAT ENGINE LIT OFF,

IT WAS ON FOR A LONG TIME...

Man:SHUTDOWN.

...BUT IT REALLY HIT US
WHEN IT STOPPED,

AND WE TURNED AROUND
AND LOOKED AT THE EARTH.

SUDDENLY THE EARTH
HAD STARTED TO SHRINK.

Man:
HELLO, HOUSTON. YOU'D HAVE TO
SEE THIS PLANET TO BELIEVE IT.

Man:THIS IS JUST SO THAT
YOU GUYS DON'T GET TOO EXCITED

AND FORGET WHAT YOUR JOB IS
DOWN THERE.

Man:WE'RE READY FOR
WHAT WE'RE ABOUT TO RECEIVE.

Roosa: WE HAD A LITTLE
TAPE RECORDER ON BOARD,

WHICH YOU COULD LISTEN TO MUSIC.

WE WERE ALLOWED TO CARRY
A PERSONAL CASSETTE ON THERE,

SO YOU COULD PLAY THE MUSIC.

MINE WAS COUNTRY MUSIC.

Owens: HI, THIS IS BUCK OWENS
FROM THE BUCKAROOS.

WE CAME DOWN TO THE STUDIO,

AND WE THOUGHT THAT WE'D PUT
TOGETHER A LITTLE THING

THAT YOU COULD TAKE ALONG
WITH YOU ON YOUR TRIP.

NOW, YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU GET BACK,

THEY'RE PROBABLY GONNA
PUT YOU IN THE MOVIES,

SO THE FIRST THING
WE'RE GONNA DO FOR YOU

IS TO PLAY A LITTLE SONG
CALLED "ACT NATURALLY."

GOES LIKE THIS.

THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY
TO THE MOON RIGHT NOW.

Man: OH.

Man:
ANYBODY UP THERE READ ME?

THIS IS HOUSTON.

Roosa: YOU DON'T THINK OF IT
AS TEXAS OR THE UNITED STATES.

YOU REALLY THINK OF IT AS EARTH.

THE THREE THINGS
THAT I ASSOCIATED WITH EARTH

WERE PEOPLE AND GREEN TREES
AND FRESH WATER.

A LITTLE DIFFERENT FOR ME.

MY NAME IS MERLE HAGGARD,

AND THIS IS MY BAND,

AND I HOPE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE
TO DO SOMETHING

YOU'LL ENJOY HEARING
ON YOUR WAY TO THE MOON,

AND, OF COURSE,
WE HOPE THAT YOU COME BACK,

TO LEAVE THIS TAPE THERE, OKAY?

WE WANT THIS TAPE TO BE

ABOUT ZERO GRAVITY IN APOLLO

WAS GOING TO THE BATHROOM.

IS THAT NOTHING GOES

Man:HOUSTON,
ARE YOU STILL PLANNING

TO HAVE TV
AT THE SCHEDULED TIME?

Man:RIGHT.

YOU CAN GO AHEAD
WITH THE TV NOW.

WE'RE STANDING BY.

Man:HELLO, HOUSTON,

WE'VE GOT A BEAUTIFUL VIEW
OF THE EARTH HERE

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.

Man:WE'RE STANDING BY
AT THIS TIME

TO RECEIVE THE FIRST
TELEVISION TRANSMISSION

FROM THE SPACECRAFT.

Man:HOUSTON, WE'RE NOW SHOWING
YOU A VIEW OF THE EARTH

THROUGH
THE TELEPHOTO LENS.

THIS TRANSMISSION
IS COMING TO YOU

APPROXIMATELY HALFWAY
BETWEEN THE MOON AND THE EARTH.

IT MAKES YOU REALIZE

JUST WHAT YOU HAVE
BACK THERE ON EARTH.

THE EARTH, FROM HERE,

IS A GRAND OASIS
IN THE BIG VASTNESS OF SPACE.

WHAT I KEEP IMAGINING IS,

IF I'M SOME LONELY TRAVELER
FROM ANOTHER PLANET,

WOULD I LAND ON THE BLUE
OR THE BROWN PART OF THE EARTH?

OKAY, WORLD,
HOLD ONTO YOUR HAT.

I'M GONNA TURN YOU
UPSIDE DOWN.

Man:THE SPACECRAFT
AT THE PRESENT TIME

IS IN A SLOW ROLL

AS PART OF THE PASSIVE
THERMAL CONTROL PROGRAM

TO MAINTAIN TEMPERATURES.

Cernan: YOU HAVE TO
LITERALLY JUST PINCH YOURSELF

AND ASK YOURSELF
THE QUESTION SILENTLY,

DO YOU REALLY KNOW
WHERE YOU ARE

AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND SPACE

AND IN REALITY
AND IN EXISTENCE?

WHEN YOU LOOK OUT THE WINDOW
AND YOU'RE LOOKING BACK

AT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STAR
IN THE HEAVENS --

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE
IT'S THE ONE WE UNDERSTAND,

AND WE KNOW IT --
IT'S HOME, IT'S HUMANITY,

IT'S PEOPLE, FAMILY, LOVE, LIFE,

AND BESIDES THAT,
IT IS BEAUTIFUL.

WE CAN SEE FROM POLE TO POLE

AND ACROSS OCEANS
AND CONTINENTS,

AND YOU CAN WATCH IT TURN,

AND THERE'S NO STRINGS
HOLDING IT UP,

AND IT'S MOVING IN A BLACKNESS

THAT IS
ALMOST BEYOND CONCEPTION.

Man:ROG,
HOW'S THAT TAPE RECORDER?

IS THE RPM
UP TO NOMINAL?

Man:YEAH, IT WORKS
PRETTY GOOD HERE IN ZERO-G.

IT WORKS BETTER THAN IT DOES
DOWN THERE ON THE GROUND.

Man:WE'RE READY
FOR THE NEWS NOW.

OKAY. LET'S SEE.

THE BEATLES
HAVE ANNOUNCED

THEY WILL NO LONGER PERFORM
AS A GROUP.

THE QUARTET IS REPORTED

TO HAVE MADE IN EXCESS
OF A HALF-BILLION DOLLARS

DURING THEIR SHORT
MUSICAL CAREER.

HOWEVER, RUMORS
THAT THEY WILL USE THIS MONEY

TO START THEIR OWN
SPACE PROGRAM ARE FALSE.

Man:THAT'S ABOUT IT
FOR NEWS.

A RECAP OF HOW THE TOP 10 TEAMS
DID YESTERDAY --

OHIO STATE
BEAT PURDUE, 42 TO 14.

TEXAS BEAT TCU, 69 TO 7.

TENNESSEE LOST
TO MISSISSIPPI.

FINAL SCORE ON THAT ONE
WAS 38 TO NOTHING.

NOTRE DAME WON OVER GEORGIA
TECH LAST NIGHT, 38 TO 20,

AND, OF COURSE,
PURDUE LOST TO OHIO STATE.

WHEN THE SUNLIGHT SHINES
THROUGH THE BLACKNESS OF SPACE,

IT'S BLACK,
BUT I WAS IN SUNLIGHT,

AND I WAS ABLE TO LOOK
AT THIS BLACKNESS.

I MEAN, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

CALL IT THE UNIVERSE,

BUT IT'S THE INFINITY OF SPACE
AND THE INFINITY OF TIME.

I'M LOOKING
AT SOMETHING CALLED SPACE

THAT HAD NO END

AND AT TIME THAT HAS NO MEANING.

YOU CAN REALLY FOCUS ON IT

BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT
THIS PLANET OUT THERE,

THIS STAR CALLED EARTH,

WHICH ITSELF
IS IN THIS BLACKNESS,

BUT IT IS LIT UP

BECAUSE THE SUNLIGHT
STRIKES ON AN OBJECT,

STRIKES ON SOMETHING
CALLED EARTH,

AND IT'S NOT
A HOSTILE BLACKNESS.

MAYBE IT'S NOT HOSTILE

BECAUSE OF THE BEAUTY
OF THE EARTH

THAT SORT OF GIVES IT LIFE.

Mattingly:
THROUGHOUT THE FLIGHT,

THE TIMES
WHEN ONE COULD SIT BACK

AND REALLY APPRECIATE

WHAT AN AMAZING ADVENTURE
THIS WAS

WAS ONLY DURING THOSE
LITTLE PERIODS OF TIME

WHEN YOU HAD A CHANCE
TO STOP

AND DO THE THINGS WHICH
YOU WEREN'T PROGRAMMED TO DO.

A LOT OF TIMES, WHEN THERE WAS
NOTHING ELSE TO DO

OR AFTER EVERYBODY HAD GONE
TO SLEEP AND I -- I COULDN'T,

I'D OPEN UP THE WINDOW
AND LOOK AROUND.

ONE THING EVERY SPACECRAFT
OUGHT TO HAVE IS A HUGE WINDOW.

LOOKING BACK
AT THE EARTH

WAS A PASTIME THAT
I NEVER REALLY GOT TIRED OF.

Man:WHO HAVE
YOU GOT UP NOW?

Man:THE OTHER TWO GUYS
ARE PRETTY SLEEPY.

THEY SACKED OUT AGAIN,

SO I'M HOLDING THE FORT DOWN
FOR A WHILE.

Man:BIOMEDICAL DATA
RECENTLY WAS MONITORED,

AND THE CMP WAS SOUNDLY ASLEEP

WHILE THE COMMANDER
WAS RESTING,

WATCHING YOU TONIGHT.

Man:YOU PICKED
THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT, I SEE.

Man:YEAH, IT'S TURNING OUT
TO BE KIND OF QUIET, TOO.

WE LIKE IT THAT WAY.

Bean: WHEN YOU'RE OUT THERE
IN THIS LITTLE COMMAND MODULE,

YOU SEE THE RISK YOU'RE TAKING
BECAUSE YOU REALIZE

THAT IF THE GLASS BREAKS
OR IF THE COMPUTERS QUIT WORKING

OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
QUITS WORKING,

YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET BACK,

AND YOU HAVE TIME
TO CONTEMPLATE THIS.

YOU HAVE TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT,

AND YOU HAVE TIME
TO RUN IT THROUGH YOUR MIND

A LOT OF DIFFERENT TIMES.

Man:HOW FAR AWAY
FROM EARTH NOW, JIM, ABOUT?

Man:IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE
APPROACHING 150,000 MILES.

HAS BECOME AN APPLIANCE

AND ALL THIS
LOOKS QUITE NORMAL.

WE'LL SHOW YOU SOME
OF THE TYPE MEALS

THAT WE HAVE ON EARTH.

MATTER OF FACT, ON THIS FLIGHT,

WE'VE CARRIED ALONG
PIECES OF BREAD,

AND ALONG WITH THE BREAD,
WE HAVE A HAM SPREAD.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU, I HOPE,

HOW EASY IT IS
TO SPREAD SOME HAM...

...IN THE ENVIRONMENT
OF ZERO-G.

I THINK WE'VE DISCOVERED
THAT IT IS QUITE EASY TO DO.

Man:FRANK, YOU ALL OUGHT
TO SET THIS TO MUSIC.

OH, YOU WANT MUSIC?

THIS LITTLE TAPE RECORDER
HAS BEEN A BIG BENEFIT TO US

IN -- IN PASSING
SOME OF THE TIME AWAY

IN OUR TRANSIT OUT TO THE MOON,

AND IT'S RATHER ODD TO SEE IT

FLOATING LIKE THIS IN --
INODYSSEY

WHILE IT'S PLAYING
THE THEME FROM "2001."

Man:WE'VE --
WE'VE LOST OUR PICTURE HERE.
WHAT THE --

Man:OKAY, HOUSTON,
WE'VE HAD A PROBLEM HERE.

I GOT THREE FUEL CELL LIGHTS,
AN A.C. BUS LIGHT,

A FUEL CELL DISCONNECT,
A.C. BUS OVERLOAD, ONE AND TWO,

MAIN BUS
"A" AND "B," OUT.

THIS IS HOUSTON.
SAY AGAIN, PLEASE.

GANG, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

WE HAD EVERYTHING
IN THE WORLD DROP OUT.

Man:
WE ARE VENTING SOMETHING.

I DON'T THINK THIS IS GONNA
BE A SIMPLE PROBLEM.

Man:WE HAVE AN APPARENT
SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH A LEAK

IN THE CRYOGENIC OXYGEN
IN THE SERVICE MODULE,

WHICH PROVIDES BREATHING OXYGEN
FOR THE CREW.

Man:APOLLO, HOUSTON.
TRY SCE TO AUXILIARY, OVER.

Man:NCE TO AUXILIARY.

SCE --
SCE TO AUXILIARY.

Man:OKAY, LET'S MAKE SURE
THAT WE DON'T DO ANYTHING

THAT'S GOING TO BLOW
OUR CSM ELECTRICAL POWER

WITH THE BATTERIES

OR THAT WILL CAUSE US
TO LOSE FUEL CELL NUMBER TWO.

Man:ON PANEL 276

UNDER INSTRUMENTATION
AND POWER CONTROL,

OPEN C.B. NUMBER THREE
AND NUMBER FOUR.

Man:CLOSE ASCENT FEED ONE
AND TWO CIRCUIT BREAKERS.

CYCLE THE PARKER VALVES,

AND THEN OPEN THE SMC
CIRCUIT BREAKERS ON PANEL 11.

Man:HEY, IT'S OFF.
IT'S OFF.

Man:THAT SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL,
TROOPS.

THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT WE WANTED TO SEE.

Man:CHARLIE, MY HAT'S OFF
TO THE GUYS IN THE TRENCH.

I LOVE 'EM.

Man:AND, BY THE WAY,
WELCOME TO THE MOON'S SPHERE.

YOU'RE IN THE INFLUX.

Bean: ONE OF THE THINGS
DIFFERENT ABOUT A LUNAR TRIP

IS YOU DON'T PASS ANYPLACE
ON THE WAY.

GOING TO THE MOON,

YOU LEAVE THE LAUNCH PAD,
THEN YOU LEAVE EARTH ORBIT,

AND THEN A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER,
AFTER PASSING NOTHING,

ALL OF A SUDDEN,
YOU'RE AT THE MOON.

AND THAT LACK
OF WAY POINTS, TO ME,

HAD AN EFFECT OF MAKING IT SEEM
A LITTLE MAGICAL OR MYSTICAL

GETTING THERE.

Man:THIS IS REALLY
A RUGGED PLANET.

Man:WE'RE DRAWING CLOSER
TO THE MOON

WITH
THE APOLLO SPACECRAFT.

OUR L.O.S. CLOCK,
OUR LOSS OF SIGNAL CLOCK,

CONTINUES TO COUNT DOWN
UNTIL THAT TIME

THAT THE SPACECRAFT WILL PASS
OUT OF COMMUNICATIONS RANGE

OVER THE BACK SIDE
OF THE MOON.

ON APPROACH, THE SPACECRAFT
JUST SORT OF DIVES

TOWARDS AND BEHIND
THE MOON.

Collins:
IT WAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT MOON

THAN ANY MOON
I HAD EVER SEEN BEFORE.

IT WAS IN THIS EERIE SHADOW.

NO MOTION -- UTTERLY SILENT.

IT SORT OF GAVE ONE
A FEELING OF FOREBODING.

IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE A VERY
FRIENDLY OR WELCOMING PLACE.

Man:APOLLO, THIS IS HOUSTON.
WE ARE GO FOR L.O.I.

Man:GO AHEAD, HOUSTON.

JIM, YOU ARE GO FOR THE BURN.
GO FOR THE BURN.

OKAY, APOLLO IS GO.

Roosa: YOU'RE GOING TOO FAST
TO ORBIT THE MOON.

YOU'RE ROCKING ON READY.

Man:OKAY, TWO MINUTES, BABE.
GIVE IT A FINAL TRIM.

BURN TIME IS 15 SECONDS,
SO IT'S GONNA GO IN A HURRY.

YOU'RE IN THE BURN POSITION.
YOU'RE READY TO GO.

BABY, LET'S MAKE THIS ONE.

AND THEN YOU LOOK,
AND THERE IT IS.

35 SECONDS.

IT'S "2001" TYPE STUFF.

THAT OLD MOON IS JUST GROWING
MAGNIFICENTLY FAST,

AND IT'S JUST FILLING UP
THAT HATCH WINDOW,

AND YOU'RE DRIFTING
INTO THE SHADOW.

OKAY, BABY.

8, 7, 6, 5 -- 3, 2, 1.

BURN.

BURN.

Man:YOU'RE BURNING.
YOU'RE BURNING.

200 TO GO.

OKAY. 78 TO GO.

50 TO GO.

20 TO GO.
STANDBY, TOM.

Man:SHUTDOWN.

OH, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL.

APOLLO, HOUSTON.
YOU GOT THE BURN OFF.

WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE.

BOY, I TELL YOU,
WE IS DOWN AMONG THEM.

WE IS GOING BACKWARDS.
YOU KNOW THAT?

YOU'VE WORKED SO LONG
AND SO HARD,

AND FINALLY YOU'RE HERE.

THE BURN HAS GONE WELL.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN LUNAR ORBIT.

YOU KNOW
THE ORBIT IS GOOD.

YOU'RE RIGHT WHERE
YOU WANTED TO BE.

I MEAN,
IT JUST LOOKED

LIKE YOU COULD REACH OUT
AND TOUCH IT.

Man:APOLLO NOW TRAVELING OVER
THE BACK SIDE OF THE MOON.

THE CREW SHOULD BE
SEEING THE FEATURES,

THE RUGGED FEATURES,

MOVING BELOW THEM
AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED.

Man:OH, CHARLIE,
WE JUST SAW EARTH RISE,

AND IT'S GOT TO BE MAGNIFICENT.

Man:CHARLIE,
IT MIGHT SOUND CORNY,

BUT THE VIEW
IS REALLY OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD.

Man:
OKAY, DAVE, YOU OUGHT TO START
GETTING YOUR HATCH CLOSED.

SAY AGAIN?

BETTER START GETTING
YOUR HATCH CLOSED

IF YOU'RE NOT
ALREADY DOING IT.

Gordon:
I WAS DISAPPOINTED.

I WANTED TO GO WITH THEM SO BAD,
I COULD TASTE IT.

AS FAR
AS I WAS CONCERNED,

THAT WAS WHAT
IT WAS ALL ABOUT --

NOT ONLY GOING
TO THE MOON,

BUT GOING DOWN
TO THE SURFACE AND WALKING.

Man:WE'RE NOW LESS
THAN TWO MINUTES AWAY

FROM THE SEPARATION BURN,

WHICH WILL BE PERFORMED
BY THE COMMAND MODULE.

WHEN NEXT WE HEAR FROM THEM,

THE LUNAR MODULE
SHOULD BE UNDOCKED

FROM THE COMMAND
AND SERVICE MODULE.

Man:YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
HOW BIG THIS THING GETS

WHEN THERE AIN'T NOBODY
IN HERE BUT ONE GUY.

Man:YEAH, DON'T GET LONESOME
OUT THERE, JOHN.

I WISH I COULD GO DOWN THERE
WITH 'EM.

YOU MAY NOT TALK
ABOUT IT VERY MUCH,

BUT PART OF YOUR TRAINING
IS COMING BACK BY YOURSELF.

Man:SEE YOU LATER.

I WISH THE DAMN THING
WOULD HOLD THREE PEOPLE.

Man:IT'S GROWN QUITE QUIET
HERE IN MISSION CONTROL.

A FEW MOMENTS AGO,
FLIGHT DIRECTOR GENE KRANZ

REQUESTED
THAT EVERYONE SIT DOWN,

GET PREPARED FOR EVENTS
THAT ARE COMING,

AND HE CLOSED WITH,
"GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU."

Man:IT'S GO, AND WE IS
DOWN AMONG 'EM, CHARLIE!

Man:ROGER.

I HEAR YOU WEAVING YOUR WAY
UP THE FREEWAY.

Man:YOU'RE GOING
RIGHT DOWN U.S. 1, MIKE.

Man:ROG. COPY.
LOOKS GREAT.

Man:
OKAY, ALL FLIGHT CONTROLLERS,
GO/NO GO FOR LANDING -- RETRO?

Man:GO.

ECON?
Man:GO.

SURGEON?
Man:GO.

FIDO?
Man:GO.

GUIDANCE?
Man:GO.

CONTROL?
Man:GO.

TELCOM?
Man:GO.

GNC?
Man:GO.

CAPCOM,
WE'RE GO FOR LANDING.

Man:EAGLE, HOUSTON.
YOU ARE GO FOR LANDING, OVER.

Man:OKAY, HOUSTON,
WE'LL GIVE YOU A COUNTDOWN.

4, 3, 2, 1 -- FIRE.
PITCH OVER.

Man:THERE IT IS.
Man:OH, BABY.

Man:WE ARE SURE COMING DOWN
TO THAT DROP.

LOOK AT THAT RILLE.
THAT'S GOT TO BE --

THAT'S GOT TO BE PROBABLY
DIAMONDBACK RIGHT THERE.

Conrad: WHEN IT PITCHES OVER
AND YOU GET YOUR FIRST LOOK,

YOU KNOW,
THERE WAS NOTHING

BUT NINE MILLION CRATERS
OUT THERE.

IT WAS A TERRIBLE
SINKING FEELING.

I OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T
RECOGNIZE A THING

AFTER STUDYING
ALL THESE PHOTOGRAPHS.

NOTHING LOOKED RIGHT.

Man:
HOW YOU DOING, CONTROL?

Man:WE LOOK GOOD
HERE -- FINE.

ALL RIGHT.
HOW ABOUT YOU, TELCOM?
Man:GO.

GUIDANCE, YOU HAPPY?
Man:GO.

FIDO?
Man:GO.

YOU'RE A GO. YOU'RE GO
TO CONTINUE POWER DESCENT.

YOU'RE A GO
TO CONTINUE POWER DESCENT.

Man:ROGER.

Irwin: ALL DURING
THIS POWER DESCENT,

I KEPT TELLING MYSELF,
"JIM, THIS IS NOT FOR REAL.

YOU'RE BACK IN THE SIMULATOR.
JUST REMEMBER THAT."

EAGLE, HOUSTON.

IT'S DESCENT TWO FUEL
TO MONITOR. OVER.

Man:
EAGLE, HOUSTON.

EVERYTHING'S
LOOKING GOOD HERE. OVER.

Man:HOUSTON, I'M GETTING
A LITTLE FLUCTUATION

IN THE A.C. VOLTAGE NOW.

ROGER. STAND BY.

LOOKING GOOD TO US.
YOU'RE STILL LOOKING GOOD.

Man:HOUSTON, YOU'RE LOOKING
AT OUR DELTA "H."

THAT'S AFFIRMATIVE.

IT'S LOOKING GOOD TO US. OVER.

EAGLE, HOUSTON.
WE'LL MONITOR YOUR DELTA "H."

SIX PLUS 2-5 THROTTLE DOWN.
SIX PLUS 2-5 THROTTLE DOWN.

ROGER. COPY.
SIX PLUS 2-5.

LET ME TRY AUTO AGAIN NOW,
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

[ALARM BLARES]

WE GOT DATA DROPOUT.
ROGER.

STAND BY.

Man:
WE'RE GO ON THAT ALARM?

Man:IF IT DOESN'T REOCCUR,
WE'LL BE GO.

WE'RE GO ON THAT ALARM.

Man:ROGER. I UNDERSTAND.
GO FOR LANDING.

ROGER.
WE GOT GOOD DATA.

Man:ALTITUDE,
VELOCITY LIGHTS?

EAGLE, WE GOT YOU NOW.
IT'S LOOKING GOOD. OVER.

FOUR FORWARD, DRIFTING
TO THE RIGHT A LITTLE.

COMING DOWN AT 23, 21 DOWN.
33 DEGREES.

WE'RE GO. SAME TYPE.
WE'RE GO.

PICKING UP SOME DUST.

Man:AND A COUPLE
OF BIG BOULDERS.

COMING RIGHT.
GOT A GOOD SPOT.

NOT TOO BAD.

HERE COMES THE SHADOW.

OH, ARE WE COMING IN.

Armstrong:STAND BY
FOR TOUCHDOWN. STAND BY.

MAN!

HOUSTON,
TRANQUILITY BASE HERE.

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

Man:
THERE'S A CHEER IN THIS ROOM.

WHAT WE'RE WITNESSING NOW

IS MAN'S VERY FIRST TRIP
INTO SPACE

WITH A STATION STOP
ALONG THE ROUTE.

WE GONNA STAY, HOUSTON?

Man:EAGLE,
YOU ARE STAY FOR T-1.

Bean: THIS THING CAME
TO A STOP ON THE MOON.

THERE WAS KIND OF A LETDOWN
SAYING,

YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO GET IT GOING FAST AGAIN

TO GET BACK HOME.

Man:
NEIL, THIS IS HOUSTON.

WHAT'S YOUR STATUS
ON HATCH OPENING?

Armstrong:OKAY, HOUSTON,
I'M ON THE PORCH.

NEIL, THIS IS HOUSTON.
LOUD AND CLEAR.

RADIO CHECK AND VERIFY
TV CIRCUIT BREAKER IN.

Aldrin:ROGER.
TV CIRCUIT BREAKERS IN.

HOUSTON, ROGER.

WE COPY, AND WE'RE STANDING BY
FOR YOUR T.E.D.

I'M GONNA PULL IT NOW.

HOUSTON, THE MESA
CAME DOWN. ALL RIGHT.

McCandless:AND WE'RE GETTING
A PICTURE ON THE TV.

GOT A GOOD PICTURE,
HUH?

OKAY, NEIL, WE CAN SEE YOU
COMING DOWN THE LADDER NOW.

THE SURFACE APPEARS TO BE
VERY, VERY FINE-GRAINED

AS YOU GET CLOSE
TO IT.

I'M AT THE FOOT
OF THE LADDER.

I'M GONNA STEP
OFF THE L.M. NOW.

THAT'S ONE SMALL STEP
FOR MAN,

ONE GIANT LEAP
FOR MANKIND.

Conrad: I HAD A BET
WITH SOMEBODY WHO DIDN'T --

REALLY FELT THAT NEIL
SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME

BEFORE HE WENT,
FIGURING OUT HIS FAMOUS WORDS,

AND THEY WERE NOT
EXTEMPORANEOUS,

ON-THE-SPOT HISTORICAL WORDS.

HE ACTUALLY FELT
THAT THESE WORDS

MIGHT HAVE EVEN BEEN WRITTEN
FOR NEIL BY SOMEBODY ELSE,

AND I SAID,
"WELL, I'LL BET YOU 500 BUCKS

"THAT WHEN I GET TO THE BOTTOM
OF THE LADDER --

"AND NOBODY EVER REMEMBERS

"WHAT THE SECOND PERSON
TO DO SOMETHING DOES ANYHOW --

"I'M GONNA SAY, 'IT MAY HAVE
BEEN A SMALL STEP FOR NEIL,

BUT IT'S A BIG STEP
FOR A LITTLE FELLA LIKE ME.'"

Aldrin:ARE YOU READY
FOR ME TO COME OUT?

OKAY.

I WANT TO BACK UP
AND PARTIALLY CLOSE THE HATCH,

MAKING SURE NOT TO LOCK IT
ON MY WAY OUT.

SO, THIS PERSON SAID, "AH,
NO WAY YOU'RE GONNA DO THAT.

THEY'RE GONNA TELL YOU
WHAT TO SAY."

OKAY.
I SAID, "OKAY, A BET'S A BET."

SO, I BET THIS PERSON $500,

AND WHEN I GOT TO THE BOTTOM
OF THE LADDER, I SAID...

MAN, THAT MAY HAVE BEEN
A SMALL ONE FOR NEIL,

BUT THAT'S A LONG ONE FOR ME.

Carr:12 HOUSTON, WE HAVE YOU
IN BLUSHING BLACK AND WHITE.

Gordon:WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE COLOR?

Man:MAYBE THE COLOR WHEEL
WILL COME UP.

Bean:I CAN FEEL
THE WHEELS RUNNING

BECAUSE I CAN FEEL SOMETHING
IN MOTION INSIDE.

Man:WHY DON'T YOU GO PUT YOUR
GLOVE IN FRONT OF THE LENS?

ALL RIGHT. WILL DO.

THAT'S COMING IN
THERE NOW, AL.

GOT THE OLD CAMERA
RUNNING.

OKAY.
WHAT CHANGE DID YOU MAKE?

I HIT IT ON THE TOP
WITH MY HAMMER.

I FIGURED WE DIDN'T
HAVE A THING TO LOSE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

Irwin:
OH, WOW. WATCH THIS.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK
OR NOT, CHARLIE.

WELL, IN MY LEFT HAND,
I HAVE A -- A FEATHER,

IN MY RIGHT HAND,
A HAMMER,

AND I GUESS ONE OF THE REASONS
WE GOT HERE TODAY

WAS BECAUSE OF A GENTLEMAN
NAMED GALILEO A LONG TIME AGO,

WHO MADE A RATHER
SIGNIFICANT DISCOVERY

ABOUT FALLING OBJECTS
IN GRAVITY FIELDS,

AND WE THOUGHT THAT,

WHERE WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE
TO CONFIRM HIS FINDINGS

THAN ON THE MOON?

AND SO WE THOUGHT
WE'D TRY IT HERE FOR YOU.

THE FEATHER HAPPENS TO BE,
APPROPRIATELY,

A FALCON FEATHER,
FOR OUR FALCON,

AND I'LL DROP
THE TWO OF THEM HERE,

AND HOPEFULLY THEY'LL HIT
THE GROUND AT THE SAME TIME.

THAT PROVES THAT MR. GALILEO
WAS CORRECT IN HIS FINDINGS.

Man:
WE'VE GOT A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE
OF YOU GUYS UP DOWN HERE.

LET ME TELL YOU,
BOB,

THIS FLAG
IS A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE.

Man:HEY, JOHN,
THIS IS PERFECT,

WITH THE L.M., YOU, AND --
AND THE OLD FLAG.

WE REALLY SHOULD SET THE FLAG
UP ON A HILL, CHARLIE,

BUT THERE JUST AIN'T ONE.

I KNOW, JOHN.

I'LL PUT IT
RIGHT HERE --

BIG ROCK.

Duke:
I WAS PROUD FOR OUR COUNTRY
MORE THAN I WAS PROUD FOR ME.

AND IT WAS NOTHING THAT I DID.

I JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE
GOTTEN THERE AT THE RIGHT TIME.

MY BACKGROUND
CARRIED ME THROUGH.

BUT THERE WERE A LOT OF OTHER
QUALIFIED PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T GO.

WHY MY NAME CAME OUT,
I DON'T KNOW.

AND WE VERY PROUDLY DEPLOY IT
ON THE MOON

TO STAY
FOR AS LONG AS IT CAN,

IN HONOR
OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE

WHO HAVE WORKED SO HARD
TO PUT US HERE

AND TO MAKE THE COUNTRY
AND MANKIND

SOMETHING DIFFERENT
THAN IT WAS.

IT WAS LIKE SITTING
IN THE LAST ROW OF THE BALCONY,

LOOKING DOWN
ON THAT PLAY GOING ON.

WHILE I WAS IN THE PLAY,

IT WAS MORE LIKE
I WAS A SPECTATOR.

Man:TRANQUILITY,
THIS IS HOUSTON.

WE'D LIKE TO SAY, FROM ALL
OF US DOWN HERE IN HOUSTON,

AND, REALLY, FROM ALL OF US

IN ALL THE COUNTRIES
IN -- IN THE ENTIRE WORLD,

WE THINK THAT YOU'VE DONE
A MAGNIFICENT JOB

UP THERE TODAY -- OVER.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH TV
FOR TODAY?

YES, INDEED.

IT'S BEEN A MIGHTY FINE
PRESENTATION THERE.

THANK YOU.

COULDN'T HAVE ENJOYED IT
AS MUCH AS WE DID.

GET SOME REST THERE
AND HAVE AT IT TOMORROW.

OKAY. SIGNING OFF.
SEE YOU AGAIN TOMORROW.

Man:
ALL SYSTEMS ON THE LUNAR MODULE
ARE IN GOOD ORDER.

WE HAVE NOT HEARD
FROM TRANQUILITY BASE

SINCE SAYING GOOD NIGHT.

Duke: MY MIND IS ONE
THAT JUST GOES CONSTANTLY,

SO I TOOK A SLEEPING PILL,
SLEPT LIKE A BABY.

I HAD ONE DREAM THAT --
THAT WAS VERY VIVID.

IN MY DREAM, WE WERE DRIVING
THE ROVER UP TO THE NORTH...

...AND YOU DIDN'T REALLY FEEL
LIKE YOU WERE OUT THERE.

I-IT WAS UNTOUCHED.

THE SERENITY OF IT

HAD A PRISTINE PURITY ABOUT IT.

WE CROSSED A HILL.

I FELT, "GOSH,
I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE,"

AND THERE WAS A SET OF TRACKS
OUT IN FRONT OF US,

AND SO WE ASKED HOUSTON
IF WE COULD FOLLOW THE TRACKS,

AND THEY SAID YES, AND WE TURNED
AND FOLLOWED THE TRACKS.

WITHIN AN HOUR OR SO,
WE FOUND THIS VEHICLE --

IT LOOKED JUST LIKE THE ROVER --
WITH TWO PEOPLE IN IT.

AND THEY LOOKED LIKE ME
AND JOHN,

HAD BEEN THERE
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

IT WAS NOT
A NIGHTMARE-TYPE SITUATION,

NOTHING LIKE THAT.

PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST
REAL EXPERIENCES IN MY LIFE.

Mattingly: I'D HAVE TRADED
ON THE DROP OF A HAT

TO GO LAND ON THE MOON.

I'M ONE OF THESE NUTS.

I LIKE CLASSICAL MUSIC,

AND I ALMOST LEARNED
TO LIKE COUNTRY AND WESTERN.

ONE OF THE THINGS I TOOK

WAS BERLIOZ'S
"SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE,"

WHICH SEEMED LIKE
THAT WAS AN APPROPRIATE THING

TO BE TAKING TO THE MOON.

AND I WAS FLOATING ALONG, JUST
LAYING BACK AND ENJOYING LIFE.

I HAD JUST CROSSED
THE FACE OF THE MOON,

GOING TOWARDS THE DARKNESS.

THEN HERE'S THIS STRANGE SCENE,
THIS MUSIC.

AND IT JUST SEEMED TO PUT IT ALL
TOGETHER IN ONE MOMENT

THAT YOU COULD COMPLETELY FORGET
THAT THIS IS A REAL SITUATION.

Man:THIS IS
APOLLO CONTROL HOUSTON

AT 104 HOURS,
31 MINUTES, NOW,

INTO
THIS HISTORIC MISSION.

Man:THE LUNAR SURFACE
TEMPERATURE IN THE SUN

SHOULD BE AROUND
135 DEGREES TODAY.

IN THE SHADE,

THE TEMPERATURE WOULD, AGAIN,
BE ABOUT MINUS-100

TO MINUS-150 DEGREES
FAHRENHEIT.

THAT WOULD BE IN THE SHADOW
OF THE LUNAR MODULE.

Man:AH, LOOK AT THAT!

AH, IT'S A PANORAMIC SCENE
OF BEAUTY!

AL, CAN YOU FIND THE EARTH?

OH, THERE IT IS.
I SEE IT.

Conrad:LOOKING AT THE EARTH
DOWN THERE, HOUSTON.

IT LOOKS
LIKE YOU'RE LITTLER

THAN A GOLF BALL
AT ARM'S LENGTH NOW.

IT SURE LOOKS
PRETTY, THOUGH.

IT REALLY LOOKS
SPECTACULAR.

Bean: IT SEEMED VERY UNREAL
TO ME TO BE THERE,

LOOKING BACK
AT THE EARTH,

AND THINKING
HOW FAR, FAR AWAY IT WAS.

THIS IS THE MOON.
THAT IS THE EARTH.

I'M REALLY HERE.

Man:WE'RE ALLOWING
ABOUT FIVE MINUTES

FOR THE DRIVE TO STATION THREE.

Man:OKAY.
SAFETY BELTS ON.

Man:
AND HERE WE GO.

HOW'S THE DRIVING, JOHN --
PRETTY EASY?

DRIVING GOOD.

MAN, I'LL TELL YOU,

INDY'S NEVER SEEN
A DRIVER LIKE THIS --

BARNEY OLDFIELD.

CHARLIE, WHAT SHOULD
WE BE HEADING FOR?

THOSE CRATERS UP THERE.

OH, DON'T TELL ME THEM.

BOY, THIS IS SO NEAT.

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE HEADED
JUST ABOUT FOR OUR SPOT.

SEE SURVEY RIDGE DOWN THERE?
YEAH.

THIS IS GONNA BE
SPECTACULAR!

NO, NOT THROUGH THIS CRATER.

YOW! WHOO!

TRYING TO SEE
IF YOU'RE NERVOUS, CHARLIE.

OLD BARNEY
IS REALLY DRIVING THIS BEAUTY.

ONLY WAY TO FLY, TONY.

AND BOY, THIS IS GONNA BE
SUCH A SPECTACULAR VIEW,

YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

Man:
WELL, THAT'S GOOD NEWS.

WE ARE HERE!
YOU -- YOU DID IT!

HEY, THAT WAS A GOOD STOP.
THOSE WHEELS JUST LOCKED.

MARK OFF!
SUPER.

Man:JOHN, DID YOU DUST
THAT TV LENS?

Man:GET SOME DIRT
IN YOUR EYE, HOUSTON?

HEY, THAT DOES A GOOD JOB
ON THE LENS THERE.

YOU WANT US TO GO UP
AND TRAVEL ALONG THAT RIDGE?

Man:YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU
PRESS ON UP THERE?

I THINK
THAT THE BEST PLACE HERE

FOR THE ALSEP IS TO THE L.M.'s
11:00 POSITION.

Man:THAT SOUNDS GOOD,
CHARLIE.

AND, JOHN, IT'S 2-6-6.

Cernan: I FELT
VERY WELCOME THERE.

YOU KNOW,
THE MOON HAS BEEN WAITING FOR US

FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS --

MILLIONS OF YEARS,
MAYBE --

UNLESS SOMEONE ELSE HAS
ALREADY BEEN THERE

BEFORE US AT SOME TIME.

THAT'S POSSIBLE, ALTHOUGH WE
DIDN'T SEE ANY EVIDENCE OF THAT.

I FELT LIKE
I WAS THE ONLY ONE THERE,

BUT NOT AN ALIEN --

NOT AN ALIEN

IN TERMS OF INVADING
SOMEONE ELSE'S DOMAIN.

I DIDN'T FIND
THE MOON HOSTILE OR --

I FOUND IT
VERY MAJESTICALLY BEAUTIFUL --

BLAND IN COLOR,
BUT MAJESTICALLY BEAUTIFUL.

Man:
BUT LOOK AT THAT GLASS-COVERED
ONE RIGHT THERE, JOHN.

Man:PRETTY GOOD SIZE,
ISN'T IT?
YEAH.

IT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S ABOUT THREE DAYS OLD,

THOUGH IT MUST BE ON THE ORDER
OF 4 BILLION.

LET'S FILL THIS ONE UP,
AND THEN...

AH, RATS!

BET YOU THAT LOOKS LIKE
A COMEDY OF ERRORS ON THE TUBE.

YEAH.

HOLD STILL.

THAT IS
A CRYSTALLINE ROCK

IF I'VE EVER SEEN
A CRYSTALLINE ROCK.

FIRST ONE TODAY.
YEAH.

WE GOT TO GET
OVER THIS RIDGE, JOHN.

DO YOU WANT TO TAKE OFF
AND GO THAT WAY NOW?

YEAH.

HEY, JOHN, DID YOU MAKE
THOSE LITTLE FOOTPRINTS HERE

AROUND THIS SIDE?

YEAH.
I GUESS I DID.

AH, THE OLD FOOTPRINTS
ON THE CRATER RIM.

THERE'S A GOOD ROCK
RIGHT THERE.

LOOK AT THE SIZE
OF THAT ROCK!

AND I THOUGHT THIS THING
WAS JUST RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO US.

WELL, TONY, THAT'S YOUR
HOUSE ROCK RIGHT THERE.

IT'S GOT BLACK STREAKS
COMING OUT OF IT.

MAN, THIS IS TOUGH GOING
HERE.

HERE.
LET ME HAVE THE SHOVEL.

OH, I'LL GET IT, MAN.
JUST A MINUTE.

GOOD DEAL, BOY!

THERE YOU GO.

I CAN'T GET
GOING HERE.

Man:OKAY, AND YOU'VE GOT
ABOUT 10 MINUTES LEFT

BEFORE WE'LL HAVE TO LEAVE.

IS THAT OKAY FOR YOU?
YEP. SURE IS.

3-3-8 IS
THE SOIL SAMPLE.

THAT IS THE BEST SAMPLE
WE GOT.

I KNOW IT.
I'LL TELL YOU.

YOU JUST HAD TO STEAL TIME
NOW AND THEN.

YOU JUST HAD TO STOP
CHIPPING AT A ROCK

AND FIGURE OUT THAT
BRINGING BACK A LITTLE BIT

OF SOME KIND OF THOUGHT
AND FEELING

WAS AS IMPORTANT AS BRINGING
ANOTHER CHUNK OF ROCK BACK.

AND NOT BEING A MACHINE,
BUT BEING A HUMAN BEING,

YOU HAVE TO STOP AND SAY,

"DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
AND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT?"

AND TRY AND TAKE IN, IN THOSE
FEW MOMENTS OF PRIVACY YOU HAVE,

EVERYTHING THERE IS TO TAKE IN,
IN THAT MOMENT...

Schmitt:AND YOU'VE GOT
FIVE MINUTES HERE.

...AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
YOU'VE GOT TO GET TO WORK.

Cernan:OKAY, HOUSTON,
AS I STAND OUT HERE

IN THE WONDERS
OF THE UNKNOWN AT HADLEY,

I REALIZE THERE'S A FUNDAMENTAL
TRUTH TO OUR NATURE --

MAN MUST EXPLORE.

ONE OF THE THINGS
YOU GOT TO STOP AND DO,

MAKE SURE,
IS TO HAVE FUN, TOO,

BECAUSE YOU'RE ONLY PROBABLY
GONNA COME THIS WAY ONCE.

Young:BOY, IS THIS
A NEAT WAY TO TRAVEL.

Duke:
ISN'T IT GREAT?

I LIKE
TO SKIP ALONG...

NOT ME, BOY.
[SCOFFS]"SKIP."

...OR WHATEVER
YOU CALL IT.

I CAN'T GET MY LEFT LEG
IN FRONT OF ME.

Duke:
IT WAS ALMOST DANGEROUS.

YOU LOSE SIGHT OF THE FACT
THAT IT'S A VACUUM OUT THERE,

AND IF YOU SPRING A LEAK
IN THAT SUIT,

YOU'RE GONNA BE DEAD.

UH-OH.

Man:NICE, SOFT,
NAVY LANDING.

YAHOO!

Conrad:BOY, DO I LIKE
TO RUN UP HERE.

I FEEL LIKE BUGS BUNNY.
THAT'S NEAT.

Man:AND HERE COME
THE BOBBSEY TWINS.

Man:YOU'RE PRETTY AGILE THERE,
TWINKLE TOES.

I'M GOING OUT FOR THE BALLET
WHEN I GET BACK.

YOU LEARN ANOTHER LINE
OF WORK UP HERE.

Man:WHILE YOU'RE BOUNCING
AROUND THERE,

YOU MIGHT KEEP AN EYE OUT
FOR A NEARBY CRATER.

[LAUGHTER]

Young:AH, RATS.

I'VE BEEN ON MY KNEES TWICE
TO GET THINGS.

Duke:JOHN?

YES, SIR?

YOU ARE BLACK
FROM THE KNEES DOWN.

NO WAY
TO AVOID IT.

THAT'S WHY I'M GLAD
THE PRESSURE SUIT BENDS.

JOHN, YOU ARE FILTHY.

Man:I TELL YOU,
THERE'S THE POT

CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK.

Man:HEY, HERE'S A ROCK THEY'LL
BE GLAD TO SEE IN HOUSTON.

Young:MAN, TONY, YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH FUN THIS HAS BEEN.

Man:
AH, WE CONCUR, JOHN.

Schmitt: HAVING GOTTEN AWAY
FROM THE SPACECRAFT,

I WAS ABLE
TO REALLY REALIZE

WHAT THIS PLACE WAS LIKE
THAT WE HAD LANDED IN.

I HAD TRIED TO ANTICIPATE
WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE

FOR MANY YEARS,

BUT IT WAS OBVIOUS
THAT THERE WAS NO WAY

ONE COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED
WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE

TO STAND IN THE VALLEY
OF TAURUS LITTORAL,

A PLACE DEEPER
THAN THE GRAND CANYON

AND EQUALLY
AS SPECTACULAR,

AND SEE THIS BRILLIANTLY
ILLUMINATED LANDSCAPE

WITH A BRIGHTER SUN THAN ANYONE
HAD EVER STOOD IN BEFORE,

WITH A BLACKER-THAN-BLACK SKY,

AND THEN TO TOP
THE WHOLE SCENE OFF,

IN THIS
BLACKER-THAN-BLACK SKY

WAS A BEAUTIFUL, BRILLIANTLY
ILLUMINATED BLUE MARBLE

THAT WE CALL
THE EARTH.

THE PATH OF EVOLUTION IS NOW
IN SPACE AS MUCH AS ON EARTH.

MAN HAS SHOWN
THAT AS A SPECIES,

MANKIND WAS WILLING
TO COMMIT ITSELF

TO LIVING IN ENVIRONMENTS
THAT WERE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

THAN THOSE IN WHICH
THE SPECIES EVOLVED --

PUT A SHIELD OF LIFE
AROUND OURSELVES

IN ORDER TO PROTECT
THE LIFE WITHIN,

BUT THE WILLINGNESS
TO GO OUT THERE IS THERE.

WE'VE SHOWN THAT.

THE CURVE OF HUMAN EVOLUTION
HAS BEEN BENT.

Man:OKAY, AND IT'S TIME
TO LOAD UP RIGHT NOW.

Man:OKAY, WE'RE UNDERWAY
AGAIN, TONY.

OKAY, WE'D LIKE YOU
TO DRIVE GINGERLY

UP TO THE ALSEP AREA
THERE.

OKAY.
WE'LL GO ON UP.

Young:
WANT TO GO RIGHT OR LEFT?

WE WANT TO HEAD --
JUST KEEP GOING WEST.

OH, I'M SORRY,
HOOK A LEFT.

GOT TO EXPECT TROUBLE
FROM BACKSEAT DRIVERS.

YEAH,
WE COPY THAT, JOHN.

LOOK AT THIS BABY.

I'M REALLY GETTING
CONFIDENCE IN IT NOW.

Man:HIS BACK WHEEL
IS OFF THE GROUND!

Man:CHARLIE, WHATEVER YOU DO,
DON'T HIT THAT BRAKE.

Man:THE GRAND PRIX DRIVER'S
AT IT AGAIN.

Young:THIS IS ABOUT
THE NEATEST THING I EVER SAW.

Duke:IT'S BACK TO THE L.M.,
RIGHT, TONY?

Man:
YOU BET YOUR LIFE.

Man:AND YOU'RE WELL AHEAD
ON THE TIMELINE.

YOU'VE BEEN
MAKING GOOD TIME.

WE MUST'VE FORGOTTEN
SOMETHING, SURELY.

THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY.
Duke:
NO, EVERYTHING IS RUNNING.

WE'RE JUST ABOUT
TO START UPSLOPE HERE.

HAVE WE BEEN
CLIMBING, JOHN?

LOOK AT THAT PITCH METER.

IT'S PEGGED OUT HIGH.

YEAH,
WE HAVE BEEN CLIMBING.

TONY, WE'VE REALLY BEEN --
WE REALLY --

IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE
WE'RE CLIMBING,

BUT WE'VE BEEN CLIMBING
FOR QUITE A WHILE HERE.

YEAH, WE'RE GOING UP
A STEEP, STEEP SLOPE, JOHN,

I'LL TELL YOU.

LOOK AT THAT, CHARLIE.

I DON'T SEE.
WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?

WELL, I'LL BE DOGGONE.

LOOK AT THAT!

CHARLIE, YOU SAID YOU WERE
GONNA SEE SOME OTHER TRACKS

ON THE MOON.

I KNEW IT.
[LAUGHS]

OKAY. WE'RE GOING BACK
DOWN OUR TRACKS, TONY.

Man:
OKAY, GOOD SHOW.

THERE SHE IS, JOHN.

SOMEBODY UP THERE
LIKES US.

DON'T RUN INTO OUR HOME.
[CHUCKLES]

Irwin:
I FELT LIKE I WAS AN ALIEN

AS I TRAVELED THROUGH SPACE,

BUT WHEN I GOT ON THE MOON,
I DIDN'T FEEL THAT AT ALL.

I FELT AT HOME THERE,

EVEN THOUGH THE EARTH
WAS A LONG WAYS AWAY.

WE COULD SEE IT DIRECTLY ABOVE,
ABOUT THE SIZE OF A MARBLE,

AND REALIZED THAT WE WERE THERE
BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD.

I FELT LIKE I WAS
AT THE END OF A THIN CORD

THAT -- THAT COULD BE CUT
AT ANY TIME.

IT WAS PRECARIOUS,
BUT YET I FELT COMFORTABLE.

I FELT SOMETHING OTHER THAN
JUST WHAT WE CAN VISUALLY SENSE.

A SPIRITUAL PRESENCE WAS THERE.

PERHAPS IT WAS BECAUSE
SO MANY PEOPLE ON THE EARTH

WERE FOCUSING THEIR ATTENTION.

THEY WERE MAYBE SENDING SIGNALS
TO US SOMEHOW.

I SENSED, I GUESS IN A WAY,

MUCH LIKE MAYBE THE FIRST MAN
ON THE EARTH WOULD HAVE SENSED,

LIKE ADAM OR PERHAPS EVE

AS THEY WERE STANDING
ON THE EARTH,

AND THEY REALIZED
THEY WERE ALL ALONE.

THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE
ON THE EARTH,

BUT YET THEY HAD
THAT SPECIAL COMMUNICATION,

AND I GUESS IT WAS SIMILAR
TO THE FEELING I HAD

WHEN I REALIZED
THAT DAVE SCOTT AND I

WERE THE ONLY TWO
ON THIS VAST PLANET,

ANOTHER WORLD.

WE WERE THE ONLY TWO THERE.

WE FELT AN UNSEEN LOVE.

WE WERE NOT ALONE.

Duke:HI, BIG GUY.

Man:
HI, THERE, CHARLIE.

Cernan:BOB, THIS IS GENE,
AND I'M ON THE SURFACE,

AND AS I TAKE MAN'S LAST STEPS
FROM THE SURFACE,

IN EVERLASTING COMMEMORATION

OF WHAT THE REAL MEANING
OF APOLLO IS TO THE WORLD,

WE'D LIKE TO UNCOVER A PLAQUE

THAT HAS BEEN ON THE LEG
OF OUR SPACECRAFT

THAT WE HAVE CLIMBED DOWN
MANY TIMES

OVER THE LAST THREE DAYS.

THE WORDS ARE,
"HERE MAN COMPLETED

"HIS FIRST EXPLORATION
OF THE MOON.

"MAY THE SPIRIT OF PEACE
IN WHICH WE CAME

BE REFLECTED
IN THE LIVES OF ALL MANKIND."

Man:SOME 7:22 AWAY FROM
IGNITION ON THE L.M. ASCENT

BACK INTO LUNAR ORBIT.

CAPCOM?

ECON?

SURGEON? GNC?

GUIDANCE, YOU HAPPY?
Man:GO.

FIDO?
Man:GO.

AFD?

OH, WE DON'T HAVE AN AFD.

FAO?

NETWORK?

RECOVERY?

CAPCOM,
WE'RE GO FOR LIFTOFF.

Man:TRANQUILITY BASE,
HOUSTON.

YOU'RE CLEARED
FOR TAKEOFF.

Man:ROGER. UNDERSTAND.
WE'RE NUMBER ONE ON THE RUNWAY.

Irwin:
THE MOONISDIFFERENT.

IT'S BECOME MAN'S FIRST OUTPOST,

OUR FIRST FOOTSTEP IN SPACE...

WHERE MAN WAS ABLE
TO LOOK BACK AT THE EARTH

AND SEE THE EARTH

AND SEE HIMSELF
IN A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.

6, 5, 4,

3, 2, 1...

IGNITION.

Cernan:
AS YOU LEAVE, YOU'RE LEAVING
THIS UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL,

NAKED, CHARCOAL BALL
OUT THERE IN SPACE,

AND YOU'VE BEEN
AROUND THE MOON.

YOU'VE BEEN ON IT.

YOU'RE SEEING SOMETHING
THAT'S FAMILIAR TO YOU.

THAT'S HOME.
THAT'S WHERE WE LIVED.

THERE'S WHERE WE LEFT
THE -- THE LUNAR ROVER,

AND THERE'S WHERE WE EXPLORED,

AND THERE'S THE MOUNTAINS
AND THE VALLEYS.

AND IT IS, IN A SENSE --

HAS BEEN A HOME,
A LIFE-SUSTAINING HOME FOR YOU,

AND WHEN YOU LEAVE IT
AND YOU SEE THOSE THINGS,

YOU LEAVE IT WITH THE SAME KIND
OF FEELING AND AWE

THAT YOU LEFT THE EARTH WITH
SEVERAL DAYS EARLIER.

Bean: WHEN WE WERE
ABOUT 30 MINUTES

FROM RENDEZVOUS
WITH THE COMMAND MODULE,

PETE SAID TO ME,
"YOU WANT TO FLY THIS THING?"

AND I SAID, "WELL, YEAH,
I'D LIKE TO FLY."

AS I TOOK THE CONTROLS,
I SAID, "WELL, WAIT A MINUTE.

"THE PEOPLE ON EARTH
IN MISSION CONTROL

AREN'T GONNA LIKE THIS,"

AND TO SHOW HOW HE THINKS
ABOUT THINGS,

HE SAID,
"DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

"WE'RE ON THE BACK SIDE
OF THE MOON.

THEY'LL NEVER KNOW."

Man:EAGLE, HOUSTON.
YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD TO US.

Man:ROGER, HOUSTON.

WE ARE RETURNING
TO THE EARTH. OVER.

GLAD TO HAVE YOU
ON THE WAY BACK HOME.

Man:I THINK
I MUST HAVE THE FEELING

THAT THE TRAVELLERS
ON THE OLD SAILING SHIPS

USED TO HAVE.

WE'VE GONE ON A VERY LONG
VOYAGE AWAY FROM HOME,

AND NOW
WE'RE HEADED BACK.

I HAVE THAT FEELING OF BEING
PROUD OF THE TRIP BUT STILL --

STILL HAPPY
TO BE GOING BACK HOME

AND BACK
TO OUR HOME PORT.

President Kennedy:
WE SET SAIL ON THIS NEW SEA

BECAUSE THERE IS NEW KNOWLEDGE
TO BE GAINED

AND NEW RIGHTS TO BE WON,

AND THEY MUST BE WON AND USED

FOR THE PROGRESS
OF ALL MANKIND.

Cernan: AS TIME GOES ON,
I TRULY DO BELIEVE

THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO PULL OUT
OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS

A GREAT MANY THINGS
THAT YOU ABSORBED

IN THOSE MOMENTS
WHILE YOU WERE THERE

LOOKING BACK AT THE EARTH,

AND I CAN ALMOST TRANSFORM
MY BODY, CERTAINLY MY MIND,

THROUGH TIME AND SPACE
INSTANTANEOUSLY

TO THAT SPOT ON THE MOON.

I KNOW WHERE I AM
WHEN I LOOK AT THE MOON.

IT'S NOT JUST SOME
ABSTRACT, ROMANTIC IDEA.

IT'S SOMETHING VERY REAL TO ME.

THE STARS ARE MY HOME.
