2
-->
3
00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:25.348
Arm switch light, check.
4
00:01:26.417 --> 00:01:28.416
Brakes out, check.
5
00:01:31.789 --> 00:01:32.954
What's your mixing chambers?
6
00:01:32.956 --> 00:01:34.488
Real rough up here,
7
00:01:34.490 --> 00:01:36.625
fluctuating a half degree
on each side.
8
00:01:36.627 --> 00:01:39.270
I see that.
9
00:01:40.563 --> 00:01:42.164
Ten seconds.
10
00:01:53.100 --> 00:01:54.877
Good on track, 15...
11
00:03:26.838 --> 00:03:29.241
...a visual estimate
of your location?
12
00:03:31.110 --> 00:03:32.676
Okay. 140,000 feet.
13
00:03:32.678 --> 00:03:34.612
On your way down.
14
00:03:42.888 --> 00:03:44.954
Approaching 115,000 feet.
15
00:03:44.956 --> 00:03:47.658
Should be regaining
aerodynamic controls.
16
00:03:49.950 --> 00:03:50.960
Right turn.
17
00:03:57.870 --> 00:03:59.739
We show you ballooning,
not turning.
18
00:04:08.348 --> 00:04:09.813
Altitude rising.
19
00:04:09.815 --> 00:04:11.784
A lot more right.
20
00:04:14.121 --> 00:04:16.860
Neil, you're bouncing
off the atmosphere.
21
00:04:21.460 --> 00:04:24.996
The
altitude's still rising, Neil.
22
00:05:25.193 --> 00:05:26.791
You're gonna have to
23
00:05:26.793 --> 00:05:27.828
stretch out your glide.
24
00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:33.667
You seem to be a tad short.
25
00:05:41.741 --> 00:05:43.678
Stow your flaps down, Neil.
26
00:06:08.403 --> 00:06:10.171
I'm down.
27
00:06:12.940 --> 00:06:14.409
Roger.
28
00:06:39.901 --> 00:06:41.368
All right, let's get him out.
29
00:06:44.173 --> 00:06:45.171
I'll step up in there.
30
00:06:45.173 --> 00:06:46.174
You okay?
31
00:06:49.478 --> 00:06:51.844
Yeah.
32
00:06:51.846 --> 00:06:53.215
Okay, Neil.
33
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:58.984
Kid's a good engineer.
34
00:06:58.986 --> 00:07:01.354
But he's distracted.
35
00:07:01.356 --> 00:07:04.230
He got home, Chuck.
He bounced off the atmosphere
36
00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:05.525
and still figured out
how to get home.
37
00:07:05.527 --> 00:07:07.528
Third mishap this month.
38
00:07:07.530 --> 00:07:10.299
Bikle should ground him
before he hurts himself.
39
00:07:52.975 --> 00:07:54.375
There you go.
40
00:07:55.912 --> 00:07:57.545
It's okay.
41
00:07:57.547 --> 00:07:59.946
It's okay, sweetheart.
42
00:07:59.948 --> 00:08:01.784
It's okay. Come here, come here.
43
00:08:02.884 --> 00:08:04.170
Okay.
44
00:08:15.931 --> 00:08:17.867
What's that?
45
00:08:21.237 --> 00:08:23.390
Look. Who's that?
46
00:08:29.979 --> 00:08:31.781
Is that a kite?
47
00:08:33.316 --> 00:08:35.316
Does that fly in the sky?
48
00:08:35.318 --> 00:08:37.184
Yeah.
49
00:08:37.186 --> 00:08:39.188
How?
50
00:08:41.891 --> 00:08:43.460
♪ I see the Moon
51
00:08:45.395 --> 00:08:48.463
♪ The Moon sees me
52
00:08:48.465 --> 00:08:50.965
♪ Down through the leaves
53
00:08:50.967 --> 00:08:54.305
♪ Of the old oak tree
54
00:08:55.939 --> 00:08:58.272
♪ Please let the light
55
00:08:58.274 --> 00:09:01.912
♪ That shines on me
56
00:09:03.614 --> 00:09:08.252
♪ Shine on the one I love.
57
00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:11.118
Maybe I should talk
58
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:12.621
to Dr. Johns about it.
59
00:09:12.623 --> 00:09:14.323
Who?
60
00:09:14.325 --> 00:09:16.957
Dr. Harold Johns.
61
00:09:16.959 --> 00:09:19.361
He developed a procedure
in Saskatchewan.
62
00:09:19.363 --> 00:09:21.530
So you'd go to Canada?
63
00:09:21.532 --> 00:09:24.166
I guess I would
take some time off.
64
00:09:24.168 --> 00:09:26.168
Why don't you
talk to the hospital?
65
00:09:26.170 --> 00:09:29.204
- See if the tumor might be...
- I spoke to them already.
66
00:09:29.206 --> 00:09:30.640
I'm sorry, Neil.
67
00:09:30.642 --> 00:09:32.674
I wish I had more to offer.
68
00:09:32.676 --> 00:09:34.142
That's okay, Jack.
69
00:09:34.144 --> 00:09:35.577
Uh, appreciate it.
70
00:09:35.579 --> 00:09:37.913
- Of course.
- Give my love to June.
71
00:09:37.915 --> 00:09:39.314
- You got it.
- Okay.
72
00:09:39.316 --> 00:09:40.515
- Bye, now.
- Bye.
73
00:09:59.303 --> 00:10:02.400
Now, who made that?
You or Grace?
74
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:03.105
Grace did.
75
00:10:03.107 --> 00:10:04.674
I'll take it, then.
76
00:10:04.676 --> 00:10:07.800
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
77
00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:08.710
Dick Day called from Houston.
78
00:10:08.712 --> 00:10:10.446
He was asking after you.
79
00:10:10.448 --> 00:10:12.348
That about Gemini?
80
00:10:12.350 --> 00:10:14.117
They're looking for pilots
81
00:10:14.119 --> 00:10:16.218
with a solid background
in engineering.
82
00:10:17.689 --> 00:10:21.390
Well, maybe once Karen
starts feeling better.
83
00:10:21.392 --> 00:10:24.529
Just, you know, I wouldn't want
to move her until then.
84
00:10:26.698 --> 00:10:29.332
Well, it would be nice
to keep you around.
85
00:10:29.334 --> 00:10:31.735
- Enjoy the casserole.
- Thank you.
86
00:10:31.737 --> 00:10:33.371
You're welcome.
87
00:10:34.472 --> 00:10:35.738
Joe.
88
00:10:35.740 --> 00:10:37.730
Hey, Jan.
89
00:10:37.750 --> 00:10:38.708
You, uh, hanging in?
90
00:10:38.710 --> 00:10:41.179
Oh, you know.
91
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:44.647
It's nice of you to come by.
92
00:10:44.649 --> 00:10:46.418
Of course.
93
00:10:49.287 --> 00:10:50.954
Night, now.
94
00:11:56.655 --> 00:11:58.789
- Thank you so much.
- Absolutely.
95
00:12:11.170 --> 00:12:12.772
Dad, want to come play?
96
00:12:16.743 --> 00:12:18.778
I should, um...
97
00:12:20.113 --> 00:12:22.181
I have to help your mother.
98
00:13:50.437 --> 00:13:53.106
I thought I might go to work.
99
00:13:57.912 --> 00:14:00.381
Okay.
100
00:14:17.531 --> 00:14:18.665
They're gonna use
VTOL technology.
101
00:14:18.667 --> 00:14:19.866
They won't even
have figured out
102
00:14:19.868 --> 00:14:22.336
how to get there yet. I'm not
gonna waste my time on...
103
00:14:24.205 --> 00:14:25.507
Morning.
104
00:14:27.608 --> 00:14:29.676
Neil.
105
00:14:29.678 --> 00:14:33.212
You can take a few days off,
you know.
106
00:14:33.214 --> 00:14:34.948
I know.
107
00:14:34.950 --> 00:14:39.921
I'm just getting up to speed on
the new delta wing in the UK.
108
00:14:41.690 --> 00:14:43.592
Bikle canceled the trip.
109
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:46.960
He wants you focused
on writing up
110
00:14:46.962 --> 00:14:49.398
the pilot report
from your last flight.
111
00:14:56.437 --> 00:14:57.806
Am I grounded, Joe?
112
00:15:00.776 --> 00:15:03.210
Write up the report
on the bounce, okay?
113
00:15:19.829 --> 00:15:21.530
Thank you, sir.
114
00:16:02.400 --> 00:16:04.672
Civilian?
115
00:16:04.674 --> 00:16:07.608
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Me, too.
116
00:16:07.610 --> 00:16:09.476
Elliot.
117
00:16:09.478 --> 00:16:10.446
Neil.
118
00:16:12.548 --> 00:16:14.314
Tough morning, huh?
119
00:16:14.316 --> 00:16:17.518
I barely lasted two minutes
in that ice bath.
120
00:16:17.520 --> 00:16:19.755
Course, I suppose
NASA's more interested
121
00:16:19.757 --> 00:16:21.457
in the psychological reaction.
122
00:16:22.558 --> 00:16:24.558
Well...
123
00:16:24.560 --> 00:16:28.364
I think I made it pretty clear
that I thought it was cold.
124
00:16:31.702 --> 00:16:32.702
Armstrong.
125
00:16:34.837 --> 00:16:37.340
- Good luck.
- You, too.
126
00:16:41.577 --> 00:16:43.377
Another egghead.
127
00:16:43.379 --> 00:16:44.745
Neil, we've been chatting
128
00:16:44.747 --> 00:16:46.413
with candidates
about the program.
129
00:16:46.415 --> 00:16:50.500
As you know, our decision
to forgo direct ascent
130
00:16:50.520 --> 00:16:51.752
in favor of a lunar orbit
rendezvous approach
131
00:16:51.754 --> 00:16:53.210
to the eventual Moon mission
132
00:16:53.230 --> 00:16:55.357
has had a major impact
on Gemini.
133
00:16:55.359 --> 00:16:57.859
Do you have any thoughts
on that decision?
134
00:16:57.861 --> 00:17:01.290
Well, even considering
von Braun's initial criticism,
135
00:17:01.310 --> 00:17:03.980
it seems that the payload saved
136
00:17:03.100 --> 00:17:05.700
by parking the primary vehicle
in orbit
137
00:17:05.702 --> 00:17:08.769
and sending a smaller ship down
to the lunar surface
138
00:17:08.771 --> 00:17:11.600
is well worth
the resulting challenges.
139
00:17:11.800 --> 00:17:12.474
What do you see
as the challenges?
140
00:17:12.476 --> 00:17:14.408
Cislunar navigation, for one.
141
00:17:14.410 --> 00:17:16.770
And rendezvous and docking.
142
00:17:16.790 --> 00:17:17.881
Why do you think
space flight's important?
143
00:17:20.416 --> 00:17:23.518
I had a few, uh,
opportunities in the X-15
144
00:17:23.520 --> 00:17:26.721
to observe the atmosphere.
145
00:17:26.723 --> 00:17:30.927
It was so thin,
such a small part of the Earth,
146
00:17:30.929 --> 00:17:32.828
you could barely see it at all.
147
00:17:32.830 --> 00:17:34.529
And when you're down here
in the crowd
148
00:17:34.531 --> 00:17:36.698
and you look up, it...
it looks pretty big,
149
00:17:36.700 --> 00:17:38.533
and you don't think
about it too much.
150
00:17:38.535 --> 00:17:41.703
But when you get
a different vantage point,
151
00:17:41.705 --> 00:17:44.741
it changes your perspective.
152
00:17:46.510 --> 00:17:50.846
I don't know what
space exploration will uncover,
153
00:17:50.848 --> 00:17:53.820
but I don't think
it'll be exploration
154
00:17:53.840 --> 00:17:55.984
just for the sake
of exploration.
155
00:17:55.986 --> 00:18:01.657
I think it'll be more the fact
that it allows us to see things
156
00:18:01.659 --> 00:18:05.527
that maybe we should have seen
a long time ago
157
00:18:05.529 --> 00:18:09.600
but just haven't been able to
until now.
158
00:18:13.710 --> 00:18:15.604
- Does anyone have anything else?
- Yeah.
159
00:18:15.606 --> 00:18:17.809
Neil, I was sorry to hear
about your daughter.
160
00:18:20.644 --> 00:18:23.646
I'm sorry, is there a question?
161
00:18:23.648 --> 00:18:27.717
Um, what I...
what I mean is, uh,
162
00:18:27.719 --> 00:18:29.621
do you think
it will have an effect?
163
00:18:33.558 --> 00:18:36.927
I think it would be
unreasonable to assume
164
00:18:36.929 --> 00:18:39.597
that it wouldn't have
some effect.
165
00:18:40.965 --> 00:18:42.598
All right, Neil.
166
00:18:42.600 --> 00:18:44.500
Thank you. That's fine.
167
00:18:44.502 --> 00:18:46.135
Thank you.
168
00:18:46.137 --> 00:18:48.573
Thank you for your time.
169
00:18:55.781 --> 00:18:57.448
Hello?
170
00:18:58.683 --> 00:18:59.785
Yeah, sure. Neil.
171
00:19:00.886 --> 00:19:01.884
Hello?
172
00:19:01.886 --> 00:19:02.985
Can I go play outside?
173
00:19:02.987 --> 00:19:04.890
Yeah.
174
00:19:06.125 --> 00:19:07.825
Yes, sir.
175
00:19:10.495 --> 00:19:11.931
Thank you, sir.
176
00:19:16.168 --> 00:19:18.103
I got it.
177
00:19:24.610 --> 00:19:26.544
It's a fresh start.
178
00:19:27.813 --> 00:19:29.648
Are you sure?
179
00:19:31.117 --> 00:19:32.684
Yeah.
180
00:19:37.822 --> 00:19:39.457
Hey.
181
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:42.528
It'll be an adventure.
182
00:19:59.678 --> 00:20:02.790
Since the time of Jules Verne,
183
00:20:02.810 --> 00:20:04.983
man has imagined
traveling to the Moon.
184
00:20:04.985 --> 00:20:07.685
The old idea of how to get
to the Moon
185
00:20:07.687 --> 00:20:10.922
was to send one spacecraft
all the way there and back.
186
00:20:10.924 --> 00:20:14.591
However, NASA engineers have
developed a modern approach
187
00:20:14.593 --> 00:20:17.950
where one rocket
contains several ships
188
00:20:17.970 --> 00:20:19.697
that will make the journey
together.
189
00:20:19.699 --> 00:20:21.631
Just as Columbus took a rowboat
190
00:20:21.633 --> 00:20:24.669
from the Santa María
to the shore of the New World,
191
00:20:24.671 --> 00:20:27.710
the astronauts will take
a smaller spacecraft
192
00:20:27.730 --> 00:20:30.740
from the mother ship
down to the lunar surface.
193
00:20:30.760 --> 00:20:32.760
When it's time to return,
194
00:20:32.780 --> 00:20:34.779
the smaller craft will lift off
from the surface
195
00:20:34.781 --> 00:20:36.647
and dock with the mother ship,
196
00:20:36.649 --> 00:20:39.830
which will then power the crew
back to Earth.
197
00:20:39.850 --> 00:20:41.886
Thus, thanks to
the brilliant minds of NASA,
198
00:20:41.888 --> 00:20:44.621
the age-old dream of going
to the Moon
199
00:20:44.623 --> 00:20:46.960
will soon be achieved.
200
00:20:55.202 --> 00:20:57.635
Sputnik, Sputnik 2,
201
00:20:57.637 --> 00:21:00.339
Vostok, Gagarin.
202
00:21:00.341 --> 00:21:02.730
The Soviets have beaten us
203
00:21:02.750 --> 00:21:04.642
at every single major
space accomplishment.
204
00:21:04.644 --> 00:21:06.378
Our program couldn't compete.
205
00:21:06.380 --> 00:21:09.614
So we've chosen to focus
on a job so difficult,
206
00:21:09.616 --> 00:21:12.317
requiring so many
technological developments,
207
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:15.753
that the Russians are gonna
have to start from scratch.
208
00:21:15.755 --> 00:21:17.258
As will we.
209
00:21:21.940 --> 00:21:22.327
Hi.
210
00:21:22.329 --> 00:21:23.628
- Hi.
- I'm Pat.
211
00:21:23.630 --> 00:21:24.963
Got here about a week
before you,
212
00:21:24.965 --> 00:21:26.331
so welcome to the neighborhood.
213
00:21:26.333 --> 00:21:28.834
Oh, that's so nice of you.
214
00:21:28.836 --> 00:21:30.135
- Well, it's...
- I'm Janet.
215
00:21:30.137 --> 00:21:32.237
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
216
00:21:32.239 --> 00:21:34.975
So, instead of here, we go...
217
00:21:41.382 --> 00:21:42.983
Hey.
218
00:21:56.130 --> 00:21:57.329
Here.
219
00:21:57.331 --> 00:21:59.965
That's to scale. Check it.
220
00:21:59.967 --> 00:22:02.670
That's my husband, Ed,
and that's Eddie Junior.
221
00:22:02.690 --> 00:22:04.690
I don't know where Bonnie is.
222
00:22:04.710 --> 00:22:06.720
- You've got two?
- I do.
223
00:22:06.740 --> 00:22:08.340
I see...
Is this your first one?
224
00:22:08.342 --> 00:22:09.808
Oh, no, no.
225
00:22:09.810 --> 00:22:11.377
We've got a boy, Rick.
226
00:22:11.379 --> 00:22:12.979
How old is he?
227
00:22:12.981 --> 00:22:14.713
He's five and a half.
228
00:22:14.715 --> 00:22:15.981
Oh, well, we should get them
together.
229
00:22:15.983 --> 00:22:17.883
If we want to get this done,
230
00:22:17.885 --> 00:22:19.452
we need to prove that two ships
231
00:22:19.454 --> 00:22:22.855
can find each other in orbit
and dock without crashing.
232
00:22:22.857 --> 00:22:25.910
That's the primary mission
of Project Gemini.
233
00:22:25.930 --> 00:22:26.925
When we think you're ready,
234
00:22:26.927 --> 00:22:30.960
each of you will be assigned
a flight with a specific task.
235
00:22:30.980 --> 00:22:31.797
Only after we master
all these tasks
236
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:33.466
do we move on to Apollo,
237
00:22:33.468 --> 00:22:35.802
consider trying to land
on the Moon.
238
00:22:35.804 --> 00:22:37.303
- It's nice to meet you.
- And you, Pat.
239
00:22:37.305 --> 00:22:39.738
- Bye.
- Bye.
240
00:22:39.740 --> 00:22:41.774
- Eddie, you put that down.
- Gus.
241
00:22:41.776 --> 00:22:43.243
Eddie Junior, don't you dare...
242
00:22:43.245 --> 00:22:44.312
You got anything to add?
243
00:22:45.447 --> 00:22:47.313
Just do your job.
244
00:22:47.315 --> 00:22:48.850
Yes, sir.
245
00:22:50.185 --> 00:22:52.180
Almost to scale.
246
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:53.920
The Multi-Axis Trainer
247
00:22:53.922 --> 00:22:57.790
was designed to replicate
roll coupling on three axes,
248
00:22:57.792 --> 00:23:01.195
the kind you might
encounter in space.
249
00:23:01.197 --> 00:23:03.863
The challenge
is to stabilize the machine
250
00:23:03.865 --> 00:23:06.650
before you pass out.
251
00:23:06.670 --> 00:23:08.904
First victim, Armstrong.
252
00:24:55.345 --> 00:24:57.145
White, you're up.
253
00:24:57.147 --> 00:24:59.140
Yeah, I got it.
254
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:00.183
I'm okay.
255
00:25:03.253 --> 00:25:04.821
Let's go again.
256
00:25:30.281 --> 00:25:31.613
Oh, fuck.
257
00:25:47.598 --> 00:25:50.298
Gentlemen, welcome
to Basic Rocket Physics.
258
00:25:50.300 --> 00:25:53.669
We'll just be covering
the first chapter tonight.
259
00:25:53.671 --> 00:25:56.472
When using a multi-stage
launch vehicle,
260
00:25:56.474 --> 00:25:58.240
it's necessary to determine
261
00:25:58.242 --> 00:26:00.976
what the right sizing is
of those stages.
262
00:26:39.350 --> 00:26:41.986
- Hi.
- Hi.
263
00:26:44.956 --> 00:26:46.188
You okay?
264
00:26:46.190 --> 00:26:47.691
Yeah.
265
00:26:47.693 --> 00:26:50.359
Just thinking
about this lecture.
266
00:26:50.361 --> 00:26:52.498
It's kind of neat.
267
00:26:54.733 --> 00:26:56.934
What's neat about it?
268
00:26:59.104 --> 00:27:03.373
Well, it was about how
to rendezvous with the Agena.
269
00:27:03.375 --> 00:27:05.976
If you thrust,
it-it actually slows you down,
270
00:27:05.978 --> 00:27:07.577
because it puts you
into a higher orbit,
271
00:27:07.579 --> 00:27:09.279
so you have to reduce thrust
272
00:27:09.281 --> 00:27:11.515
and drop into a lower orbit
in order to catch up.
273
00:27:11.517 --> 00:27:14.484
It's-it's backwards from what
they teach you as a pilot,
274
00:27:14.486 --> 00:27:19.258
but if you work the math,
it-it-it follows.
275
00:27:20.626 --> 00:27:22.161
It's kind of neat.
276
00:27:24.290 --> 00:27:26.128
Yeah.
277
00:27:26.130 --> 00:27:27.431
What's funny?
278
00:27:27.433 --> 00:27:29.935
No, it's not funny.
It's just...
279
00:27:31.437 --> 00:27:33.672
It's kind of neat.
280
00:27:57.362 --> 00:27:59.198
Do you remember this?
281
00:28:00.433 --> 00:28:02.365
Yeah.
282
00:28:02.367 --> 00:28:04.704
I'm surprised
that you remember it.
283
00:28:55.488 --> 00:28:58.189
♪ If you miss
the train I'm on... ♪
284
00:28:58.191 --> 00:29:00.826
Let's see. I want to make ten.
285
00:29:00.828 --> 00:29:03.294
Before you panic...
286
00:29:03.296 --> 00:29:04.696
There we go.
287
00:29:04.698 --> 00:29:06.365
Great. Thank you.
288
00:29:06.367 --> 00:29:07.498
Thank you for having us.
289
00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:09.233
It's a pleasure.
290
00:29:09.235 --> 00:29:10.602
Carrie.
291
00:29:10.604 --> 00:29:12.371
Here you go.
Would you like some salad?
292
00:29:12.373 --> 00:29:14.338
- Thank you.
- That's a lovely piano, Pat.
293
00:29:14.340 --> 00:29:16.842
- Do you play?
- Bonnie's taking lessons.
294
00:29:16.844 --> 00:29:18.845
- Mm.
- Well, perhaps we'll sing
295
00:29:18.847 --> 00:29:20.380
for our supper.
296
00:29:21.815 --> 00:29:23.181
Neil plays piano?
297
00:29:23.183 --> 00:29:24.583
Neil knows all kinds
of show tunes.
298
00:29:24.585 --> 00:29:27.151
- Janet.
- Oh, come on.
299
00:29:27.153 --> 00:29:28.420
He was musical director
at his fraternity in college.
300
00:29:28.422 --> 00:29:29.721
- Honey.
- Yeah, he wrote the musical
301
00:29:29.723 --> 00:29:31.590
for the all-student revue.
302
00:29:31.592 --> 00:29:33.157
- I didn't write the music.
- Yeah, you did.
303
00:29:33.159 --> 00:29:36.361
No, I... We used music
from Gilbert and Sullivan.
304
00:29:36.363 --> 00:29:38.162
Well, he wrote all new lyrics.
305
00:29:38.164 --> 00:29:40.867
"The Land of Egelloc."
306
00:29:40.869 --> 00:29:42.702
It was quite funny.
307
00:29:42.704 --> 00:29:46.171
"The Land of Egelloc"?
308
00:29:46.173 --> 00:29:47.439
- Egelloc.
- Mm-hmm.
309
00:29:47.441 --> 00:29:48.775
You've never heard of it?
310
00:29:48.777 --> 00:29:50.542
I-I haven't.
311
00:29:50.544 --> 00:29:53.178
Oh, I'm surprised.
Uh, uh, it's a distant land,
312
00:29:53.180 --> 00:29:54.847
but, uh, it's a magical place.
313
00:29:54.849 --> 00:29:56.450
It's "college"
spelled backwards.
314
00:30:00.287 --> 00:30:01.488
Seriously?
315
00:30:02.623 --> 00:30:03.890
Yep.
316
00:30:08.362 --> 00:30:10.763
You're, uh,
backup on Five, huh?
317
00:30:10.765 --> 00:30:12.332
- Yeah.
- Well, don't worry.
318
00:30:12.334 --> 00:30:13.699
You'll get
your own mission soon.
319
00:30:13.701 --> 00:30:15.334
How's training going on Four?
320
00:30:15.336 --> 00:30:16.368
It's good.
321
00:30:16.370 --> 00:30:17.737
I think we're close on E.V.A.
322
00:30:17.739 --> 00:30:19.939
First man to walk in space.
323
00:30:19.941 --> 00:30:22.174
- That'd be something, huh?
- Yeah.
324
00:30:22.176 --> 00:30:24.344
Well, you know the walking's
the easy part.
325
00:30:24.346 --> 00:30:26.679
- It's getting back inside that's tough.
- Mm.
326
00:30:26.681 --> 00:30:28.281
It'd be a hell of a ride
327
00:30:28.283 --> 00:30:29.716
to come back
with my tail hanging out.
328
00:30:29.718 --> 00:30:30.717
Oh, I think McDivitt
329
00:30:30.719 --> 00:30:32.752
will cut the cord
before that ever happens.
330
00:30:32.754 --> 00:30:34.721
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You
throttle back there, Armstrong.
331
00:30:34.723 --> 00:30:35.822
Ed!
332
00:30:35.824 --> 00:30:37.222
- Yeah?
- Phone for you.
333
00:30:37.224 --> 00:30:38.791
- Yeah, who is it?
- It's Deke.
334
00:30:38.793 --> 00:30:40.326
Okay, hang on.
335
00:30:40.328 --> 00:30:41.594
I think that's
Castor and Pollux.
336
00:30:42.865 --> 00:30:45.365
I was testing you,
and you passed.
337
00:30:45.367 --> 00:30:47.433
I thought about
letting it fly, but...
338
00:30:47.435 --> 00:30:48.636
Yeah.
339
00:30:48.638 --> 00:30:50.137
Yeah.
340
00:30:53.441 --> 00:30:55.942
Uh, no, uh,
let me turn it on right now.
341
00:30:55.944 --> 00:30:57.770
Hey, guys.
342
00:30:57.790 --> 00:30:59.847
...with a Soviet pressure suit,
343
00:30:59.849 --> 00:31:01.714
we're told, that was designed
for the lunar surface.
344
00:31:01.716 --> 00:31:03.816
- I'll call you back.
- This is, of course,
345
00:31:03.818 --> 00:31:04.852
mankind's first E.V.A.,
346
00:31:04.854 --> 00:31:07.387
or extravehicular activity.
347
00:31:07.389 --> 00:31:09.622
Within the American
space program,
348
00:31:09.624 --> 00:31:12.559
E.V.A. is seen as one
of the crucial tests
349
00:31:12.561 --> 00:31:15.561
the astronauts must master
if they are to successfully
350
00:31:15.563 --> 00:31:17.765
carry out their mission
to the Moon.
351
00:31:17.767 --> 00:31:19.967
Astronaut Ed White
was scheduled
352
00:31:19.969 --> 00:31:22.435
to perform the first E.V.A.
353
00:31:22.437 --> 00:31:23.904
during Gemini 4.
354
00:31:23.906 --> 00:31:26.239
So this is yet another
major victory
355
00:31:26.241 --> 00:31:28.776
for the Soviet Union
in the Space Race.
356
00:31:35.284 --> 00:31:36.617
Check valves are clear.
357
00:31:36.619 --> 00:31:37.918
Okay. I'll get on the edge.
358
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.321
- We got it from here.
- Thanks.
359
00:31:41.323 --> 00:31:43.324
Thanks, Elliot.
360
00:31:51.300 --> 00:31:52.800
Eight days up there.
361
00:31:52.802 --> 00:31:54.903
To be honest, I'm kind of glad
we didn't get this one.
362
00:31:54.905 --> 00:31:57.373
Hope they don't
kill each other.
363
00:31:59.420 --> 00:32:00.742
At least it'd be quieter
around here.
364
00:32:10.653 --> 00:32:12.620
Neil.
365
00:32:12.622 --> 00:32:13.987
Go ahead.
366
00:32:13.989 --> 00:32:17.291
Neil Armstrong,
our backup commander.
367
00:32:17.293 --> 00:32:18.426
Buzz Aldrin.
368
00:32:18.428 --> 00:32:19.760
Roger Chaffee.
369
00:32:19.762 --> 00:32:20.962
Couple of greenhorns
from third group.
370
00:32:20.964 --> 00:32:22.496
They'll be at blockhouse
for launch.
371
00:32:22.498 --> 00:32:24.766
Listen, can I speak to you
for a minute?
372
00:32:24.768 --> 00:32:26.535
Fellas.
373
00:32:31.373 --> 00:32:34.420
We're putting you
in command of Gemini 8.
374
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:36.945
Dave Scott is gonna be
your pilot.
375
00:32:36.947 --> 00:32:40.381
We get the Agena back online,
376
00:32:40.383 --> 00:32:42.686
you're probably gonna be
the first to dock.
377
00:32:49.425 --> 00:32:50.658
Don't worry about Elliot.
378
00:32:50.660 --> 00:32:52.527
We'll put that brain
of his to work.
379
00:32:52.529 --> 00:32:54.629
We've got a big E.V.A.
planned for Eight.
380
00:32:54.631 --> 00:32:56.398
Dave's a workhorse.
381
00:32:57.501 --> 00:32:58.867
Yes, sir.
382
00:32:58.869 --> 00:33:00.971
- I'll talk to you later today.
- Thank you.
383
00:33:14.417 --> 00:33:15.416
My eye!
384
00:33:15.418 --> 00:33:17.385
Oh, my eye!
385
00:33:17.387 --> 00:33:18.621
My eye!
386
00:33:18.623 --> 00:33:21.560
Mr. Armstrong.
387
00:33:21.580 --> 00:33:22.423
When did you start swimming?
388
00:33:22.425 --> 00:33:23.491
I don't remember exactly.
389
00:33:23.493 --> 00:33:25.493
- I think school.
- In high school?
390
00:33:25.495 --> 00:33:27.797
Yeah, and we had a...
we, uh...
391
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:29.598
like, a summer house
in northern Wisconsin,
392
00:33:29.600 --> 00:33:32.670
and I just used to go
to the lake and, uh, fish.
393
00:33:32.690 --> 00:33:34.435
And I just used to swim
for miles and miles.
394
00:33:34.437 --> 00:33:36.730
I've-I've always loved it.
395
00:33:37.874 --> 00:33:39.842
Nothing quite compares
396
00:33:39.844 --> 00:33:41.110
to your terrible life.
397
00:33:44.150 --> 00:33:45.581
Oh...
398
00:33:45.583 --> 00:33:46.951
You got it coming.
399
00:33:52.657 --> 00:33:55.240
It's the longest bridge
in the world, but there's no...
400
00:33:55.260 --> 00:33:57.425
It's the second-largest
suspension bridge in the world,
401
00:33:57.427 --> 00:33:58.896
but these cables are the longest...
402
00:34:00.631 --> 00:34:02.565
- Hey, Ed.
- Oh, hi.
403
00:34:02.567 --> 00:34:04.433
Uh, can I speak with Neil?
404
00:34:04.435 --> 00:34:06.200
Yeah, sure.
Why don't you come on in?
405
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:07.569
You're soaked.
406
00:34:07.571 --> 00:34:09.839
No, I'll-I'll...
I'll wait here.
407
00:34:09.841 --> 00:34:12.800
Thanks.
408
00:34:12.100 --> 00:34:13.576
You could fly under there.
409
00:34:13.578 --> 00:34:15.711
That would hurt
if you jumped under it.
410
00:34:15.713 --> 00:34:17.546
- What's that?
- That would hurt
411
00:34:17.548 --> 00:34:20.182
if you jumped over it.
412
00:34:20.184 --> 00:34:22.520
Yeah.
413
00:34:22.540 --> 00:34:23.519
Uh, here are the sky pieces.
414
00:34:23.521 --> 00:34:24.887
Neil, Ed's outside.
415
00:34:24.889 --> 00:34:26.880
Okay.
416
00:34:26.900 --> 00:34:27.525
Excuse me, son.
417
00:34:29.460 --> 00:34:30.993
Hi.
418
00:34:30.995 --> 00:34:32.695
You want to come in?
419
00:34:32.697 --> 00:34:34.465
Some bad news about Elliot.
420
00:34:38.803 --> 00:34:41.470
No, I know. Deke told me
he bumped him, but with...
421
00:34:41.472 --> 00:34:42.905
Neil, Elliot and Charlie
were flying
422
00:34:42.907 --> 00:34:44.540
into St. Louis this morning.
423
00:34:44.542 --> 00:34:46.778
Their T-38 crashed on approach.
424
00:34:52.117 --> 00:34:53.752
Oh.
425
00:34:58.900 --> 00:35:00.250
There was a lot of fog.
426
00:35:14.606 --> 00:35:17.542
So, did you really fly
under that bridge?
427
00:35:23.682 --> 00:35:26.490
Was it fun?
428
00:35:26.510 --> 00:35:28.551
Were you scared?
429
00:35:28.553 --> 00:35:31.540
Ricky. Honey.
430
00:35:31.560 --> 00:35:33.991
Why don't you go and get your
homework so I can check it?
431
00:35:33.993 --> 00:35:35.527
Yes, ma'am.
432
00:35:41.868 --> 00:35:43.769
Who was it?
433
00:35:54.147 --> 00:35:56.914
Shit.
How the hell did this happen?
434
00:35:58.818 --> 00:36:02.860
Cernan told me cloud cover
was down to 500 feet.
435
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:04.880
Probably never
saw the building.
436
00:36:04.900 --> 00:36:06.900
Clearly, the error
was the approach.
437
00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:08.940
He was coming in too slow
to reach the runway.
438
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:14.634
What?
439
00:36:16.269 --> 00:36:18.236
You know Deke had
his doubts about him.
440
00:36:18.238 --> 00:36:21.572
That's why he moved Elliot
off Eight.
441
00:36:21.574 --> 00:36:24.900
Deke gave Elliot
his own command.
442
00:36:24.110 --> 00:36:25.843
Elliot wasn't
aggressive enough.
443
00:36:25.845 --> 00:36:27.845
You of all people
have to know that.
444
00:36:27.847 --> 00:36:30.150
No, I don't.
445
00:36:30.170 --> 00:36:32.850
I didn't investigate the crash.
446
00:36:32.852 --> 00:36:34.819
I didn't study
the flight trajectory.
447
00:36:34.821 --> 00:36:37.154
And I wasn't the one
flying the plane.
448
00:36:37.156 --> 00:36:39.959
So I wouldn't pretend
to know anything.
449
00:36:43.997 --> 00:36:46.766
We'll never be
a hundred percent sure.
450
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:36.149
Can we go?
451
00:37:36.151 --> 00:37:38.784
Uh... uh, not right now.
452
00:37:38.786 --> 00:37:41.154
I want to help Marilyn
clear all this up.
453
00:37:41.156 --> 00:37:44.240
I don't want to have her do it
after we're gone.
454
00:37:49.129 --> 00:37:50.731
Neil?
455
00:37:59.700 --> 00:38:00.373
I'm sorry.
456
00:38:00.375 --> 00:38:02.275
I hate to be a bother.
457
00:38:02.277 --> 00:38:04.343
- Oh, Jan, it's no bother.
- Oh, Jan.
458
00:38:04.345 --> 00:38:06.312
Yeah, no.
459
00:38:06.314 --> 00:38:08.283
Neil's, uh...
460
00:38:12.986 --> 00:38:16.222
There was a year
when we were at Edwards...
461
00:38:16.224 --> 00:38:17.859
Four pilots died.
462
00:38:21.830 --> 00:38:23.763
We got good at funerals
that year.
463
00:38:25.766 --> 00:38:28.336
We haven't been to one
in a while.
464
00:38:31.772 --> 00:38:34.750
Does he ever talk to you
about Karen, Ed?
465
00:38:35.710 --> 00:38:38.460
Not really. No.
466
00:38:41.317 --> 00:38:43.384
Does he talk to you about her?
467
00:38:44.819 --> 00:38:46.355
No.
468
00:38:48.290 --> 00:38:50.890
Never.
469
00:39:24.726 --> 00:39:26.610
Hey, buddy.
470
00:39:28.464 --> 00:39:30.698
You know,
you should be with Jan.
471
00:39:32.368 --> 00:39:34.868
Neil, you should be playing
with your kids.
472
00:39:34.870 --> 00:39:37.971
You know, putting them
into bed.
473
00:39:37.973 --> 00:39:39.840
- Times like these...
- Do you think I'm standing
474
00:39:39.842 --> 00:39:41.509
out here in the backyard
475
00:39:41.511 --> 00:39:44.344
'cause I want to talk
to somebody, Ed?
476
00:39:44.346 --> 00:39:46.916
I'm sorry?
477
00:39:48.351 --> 00:39:50.170
Do you think I left there
478
00:39:50.190 --> 00:39:52.289
'cause I want to talk
to somebody?
479
00:40:13.375 --> 00:40:15.750
T-minus one minute
480
00:40:15.770 --> 00:40:17.280
and counting
on the Atlas-Agena launch.
481
00:40:46.309 --> 00:40:47.543
Liftoff.
482
00:40:47.545 --> 00:40:49.778
Agena is go.
483
00:40:52.215 --> 00:40:54.820
Flight dynamics for unmanned
484
00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:56.851
Agena target vehicle
looking good.
485
00:40:56.853 --> 00:40:59.257
Stand by for Gemini launch.
486
00:41:22.913 --> 00:41:23.914
Yeah.
487
00:41:38.562 --> 00:41:40.596
Okay.
488
00:41:40.598 --> 00:41:42.990
All right.
489
00:41:44.635 --> 00:41:47.169
Guaymas,
read you loud and clear.
490
00:41:47.171 --> 00:41:50.439
We have S band track.
We have just locked up on TM.
491
00:41:50.441 --> 00:41:51.507
All right. Yeah, what's that?
492
00:41:51.509 --> 00:41:53.142
- What's-what's happening?
- Uh, did you say
493
00:41:53.144 --> 00:41:54.760
- all systems go on TM?
- Yeah, yeah.
494
00:41:54.780 --> 00:41:55.577
Let me see. All right.
495
00:41:55.579 --> 00:41:57.112
All right,
hold still. Hold still.
496
00:41:57.114 --> 00:41:58.347
- What is that?
- Hold on.
497
00:41:58.349 --> 00:42:00.582
Scoot...
Can you scoot down at all?
498
00:42:00.584 --> 00:42:02.551
All right.
499
00:42:02.553 --> 00:42:03.952
- Hey.
- What are you doing?
500
00:42:03.954 --> 00:42:05.455
Has anybody got
a Swiss Army knife?
501
00:42:05.457 --> 00:42:07.956
- Hold on, hold on a sec.
- What'd you say?
502
00:42:07.958 --> 00:42:10.590
- See if this will do the trick.
- Yeah. - A Swiss Army knife?
503
00:42:10.610 --> 00:42:12.620
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
504
00:42:12.640 --> 00:42:13.996
- It's just a little...
- Are you kidding me?
505
00:42:13.998 --> 00:42:15.565
- There we go.
- You got it. - A little lower.
506
00:42:15.567 --> 00:42:18.401
- Good Lord.
- Guaymas, Agena is go.
507
00:42:18.403 --> 00:42:20.171
Roger, Guaymas.
508
00:43:35.470 --> 00:43:36.613
Switching to HF.
509
00:43:36.615 --> 00:43:38.181
One, two, three, four, five.
510
00:43:38.183 --> 00:43:40.317
Five, four, three, two, one.
Check out.
511
00:43:40.319 --> 00:43:42.419
Copy. T-minus two minutes.
512
00:43:42.421 --> 00:43:45.423
- Engines to start.
- Ground power removal.
513
00:43:45.425 --> 00:43:46.590
Stage two
prevalves coming open.
514
00:43:46.592 --> 00:43:47.759
Five seconds.
515
00:44:37.811 --> 00:44:39.711
T-minus 20 seconds. Mark.
516
00:44:49.322 --> 00:44:53.910
Ten, nine,
517
00:44:53.930 --> 00:44:57.162
eight, seven, six,
518
00:44:57.164 --> 00:44:59.664
five, four,
519
00:44:59.666 --> 00:45:02.601
three,
520
00:45:02.603 --> 00:45:05.270
two, one.
521
00:45:05.272 --> 00:45:07.641
Ignition.
522
00:45:14.448 --> 00:45:16.830
Liftoff.
523
00:45:24.725 --> 00:45:28.360
Clock is running.
Got a roll program in.
524
00:45:28.362 --> 00:45:29.629
Roger. Roll.
525
00:45:29.631 --> 00:45:31.162
Good liftoff, Eight.
526
00:45:41.174 --> 00:45:42.807
- Pitch program.
- Roger. Pitch program.
527
00:45:53.221 --> 00:45:55.387
DCS update received.
528
00:45:55.389 --> 00:45:56.724
Roger. DCS.
529
00:46:05.834 --> 00:46:08.166
Stage two tanks look good.
530
00:46:08.168 --> 00:46:10.104
That's about
three and a half g's.
531
00:46:47.241 --> 00:46:49.742
Go from the ground for staging.
532
00:46:49.744 --> 00:46:51.547
Roger.
533
00:47:04.927 --> 00:47:07.594
Fuel cells are solid.
534
00:47:07.596 --> 00:47:09.930
Gemini 8. Mark.
535
00:47:09.932 --> 00:47:13.667
V over Vr is, uh, .08.
536
00:47:13.669 --> 00:47:15.771
Okay. Mode three.
537
00:47:21.944 --> 00:47:23.780
We had SECO.
538
00:48:10.994 --> 00:48:15.763
"...fear that someone
will break in
539
00:48:15.765 --> 00:48:18.000
and steal all of my..."
540
00:48:18.200 --> 00:48:19.867
Okay, we're all set.
541
00:48:19.869 --> 00:48:21.803
"...Hank Williams..."
542
00:48:21.805 --> 00:48:23.839
Transmitting maneuver load.
543
00:48:23.841 --> 00:48:26.908
It's a height adjust.
544
00:48:26.910 --> 00:48:29.978
Height adjust. Got DCS.
545
00:48:29.980 --> 00:48:33.381
Roger. And are you ready
to copy the update? Over.
546
00:48:33.383 --> 00:48:35.383
Okay.
Go with the update, Hawaii.
547
00:48:35.385 --> 00:48:40.288
Roger. G.E.T. B-13437.
548
00:48:40.290 --> 00:48:42.990
Delta-V, two-decimal-nine.
549
00:48:42.992 --> 00:48:45.526
Burn time,
zero plus zero-five...
550
00:48:48.398 --> 00:48:50.732
Hey, Mom, can I get you
anything?
551
00:48:50.734 --> 00:48:51.869
He's doing good.
552
00:48:53.637 --> 00:48:55.470
"Constant."
553
00:48:55.472 --> 00:48:58.400
"How can you do push-ups
554
00:48:58.420 --> 00:49:00.675
when your nose gets
in the way?"
555
00:49:00.677 --> 00:49:02.677
Roger, Hawaii. Got it.
556
00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:03.912
This is Paul Haney
557
00:49:03.914 --> 00:49:05.414
at Gemini Control Houston.
558
00:49:05.416 --> 00:49:07.850
Our display chart
shows Gemini 8 in orbit.
559
00:49:07.852 --> 00:49:09.417
The crew will now attempt
560
00:49:09.419 --> 00:49:11.353
to find the unmanned
Agena spacecraft
561
00:49:11.355 --> 00:49:13.321
and dock with it.
562
00:49:31.742 --> 00:49:33.410
- Burn end.
- Good burn.
563
00:49:47.458 --> 00:49:49.560
Shouldn't we have a visual
on the Agena by now?
564
00:49:54.131 --> 00:49:56.565
Houston, I think
we overdid it a little.
565
00:49:56.567 --> 00:49:57.633
We should have stopped early.
566
00:49:57.635 --> 00:49:58.935
Uh, roger.
567
00:49:58.937 --> 00:50:00.803
Uh, Eight, stand by
for a correction.
568
00:50:02.600 --> 00:50:03.405
So we're getting
the difference.
569
00:50:03.407 --> 00:50:04.573
I'm on that.
570
00:50:04.575 --> 00:50:05.974
FIDO, Flight. How we doing?
571
00:50:05.976 --> 00:50:08.440
Okay, we got a solid track
on both vehicles.
572
00:50:08.460 --> 00:50:09.611
Calculating for the burn.
573
00:50:09.613 --> 00:50:12.414
FIDO, Agena. Do you have
what you need from us?
574
00:50:12.416 --> 00:50:14.751
FIDO, did you copy that?
575
00:50:14.753 --> 00:50:16.886
Roger, Flight. I copy.
576
00:50:16.888 --> 00:50:18.654
- You guys getting this?
- We just have some
577
00:50:18.656 --> 00:50:20.391
ratty data
with the Gemini computer.
578
00:50:22.527 --> 00:50:24.626
Need the correction, gentlemen.
Let's go.
579
00:50:24.628 --> 00:50:25.895
- Sending it up now.
- Okay, CAPCOM,
580
00:50:25.897 --> 00:50:27.130
let's get it up to them.
581
00:50:27.132 --> 00:50:28.698
This is Houston CAPCOM.
582
00:50:28.700 --> 00:50:30.834
Uh, we're gonna need you
to do another burn here
583
00:50:30.836 --> 00:50:32.669
very shortly,
so stand by to copy.
584
00:50:32.671 --> 00:50:36.806
Uh, G.E.T. B-030341.
585
00:50:36.808 --> 00:50:40.844
Uh, Delta-V
is two seconds posigrade.
586
00:50:40.846 --> 00:50:42.544
Two feet...
587
00:50:42.546 --> 00:50:46.490
Uh, Delta-V
is two feet posigrade.
588
00:50:46.510 --> 00:50:48.751
Uh, Eight, do you copy?
589
00:50:52.557 --> 00:50:53.891
Mark.
590
00:50:53.893 --> 00:50:55.124
Two feet posigrade...
591
00:50:55.126 --> 00:50:56.626
Give that back, Mark.
Give that back.
592
00:50:56.628 --> 00:50:58.561
Put it back on the table.
Give me it.
593
00:50:58.563 --> 00:51:00.530
Honey, give me it.
594
00:51:00.532 --> 00:51:02.131
It's really important.
595
00:51:02.133 --> 00:51:04.168
Give that back to Mom
right now.
596
00:51:04.170 --> 00:51:06.169
Do you copy?
597
00:51:06.171 --> 00:51:09.139
Mark Armstrong, if you
don't give me that back...
598
00:51:09.141 --> 00:51:10.708
Eight, do you copy?
599
00:51:10.710 --> 00:51:12.208
I'm not joking, Mark.
600
00:51:12.210 --> 00:51:14.777
I'm getting a horrendous
601
00:51:14.779 --> 00:51:17.448
20 to 25 feet
per second down, Neil.
602
00:51:17.450 --> 00:51:19.782
I can't see any possible
reason for that.
603
00:51:19.784 --> 00:51:21.551
- Where are we on the plot?
- We're above it.
604
00:51:21.553 --> 00:51:22.920
Right, but what does it
look like if...
605
00:51:22.922 --> 00:51:24.921
I can't. I'm sorry.
I have to...
606
00:51:24.923 --> 00:51:26.957
- I have to look at this.
- Okay.
607
00:51:26.959 --> 00:51:29.260
Eight, can you give us a status?
608
00:51:29.280 --> 00:51:31.228
No. I got too much to do.
609
00:51:31.230 --> 00:51:33.197
Copy. Standing by.
610
00:51:35.735 --> 00:51:38.168
Okay, we're gonna go
with a closed loop.
611
00:51:38.170 --> 00:51:42.106
25 forward,
eight left, three up,
612
00:51:42.108 --> 00:51:44.176
and I'm going to rate command.
613
00:51:47.713 --> 00:51:50.948
Three, two, one.
614
00:51:50.950 --> 00:51:52.116
Burn.
615
00:52:33.727 --> 00:52:35.193
Could be a planet.
616
00:52:35.195 --> 00:52:37.563
Could be.
617
00:52:41.901 --> 00:52:43.701
This is Houston.
618
00:52:43.703 --> 00:52:46.710
We have your ground TPI backup
when you're ready to copy.
619
00:52:46.730 --> 00:52:47.273
Uh, stand by.
620
00:52:47.275 --> 00:52:49.400
We have a visual on the Agena.
621
00:52:49.420 --> 00:52:52.711
At least something
we think looks like the Agena.
622
00:52:52.713 --> 00:52:55.814
Understand.
Possible visual on the Agena.
623
00:52:55.816 --> 00:52:58.217
- We're getting a little out of plane now.
- Uh, yeah.
624
00:52:58.219 --> 00:53:00.785
Uh, we gotta get three aft
and two and a half up.
625
00:53:00.787 --> 00:53:01.953
I'm going to start braking.
626
00:53:01.955 --> 00:53:03.755
Give me a digital range
and rate.
627
00:53:09.129 --> 00:53:10.628
I better back off a bit.
628
00:53:10.630 --> 00:53:12.998
6,000 feet,
31 feet per second.
629
00:53:16.737 --> 00:53:18.136
Put in a little to the left.
630
00:53:18.138 --> 00:53:20.138
1,680 feet.
631
00:53:26.713 --> 00:53:29.648
That's unbelievable.
632
00:53:29.650 --> 00:53:32.120
Would you look at that?
633
00:53:41.262 --> 00:53:43.229
You tell 'em.
634
00:53:47.101 --> 00:53:49.834
Houston, we're
station-keeping on the Agena
635
00:53:49.836 --> 00:53:52.338
about 150 feet.
636
00:53:52.340 --> 00:53:54.706
Okay, stay focused, gentlemen.
637
00:53:54.708 --> 00:53:56.976
- We're only halfway there.
- Nice job, guys.
638
00:53:56.978 --> 00:54:00.379
- Thanks for the extra hands.
- Let's do this, huh?
639
00:54:04.253 --> 00:54:05.987
Stay focused, gentlemen.
640
00:54:27.209 --> 00:54:29.209
Man, it flies easy.
641
00:54:29.211 --> 00:54:30.976
Does it really?
642
00:54:30.978 --> 00:54:33.746
The station-keeping,
it's just...
643
00:54:33.748 --> 00:54:35.850
it's like nothing.
644
00:54:44.792 --> 00:54:47.427
Uh, RKV, this is Eight.
645
00:54:47.429 --> 00:54:49.829
We're sitting
about two feet out.
646
00:54:49.831 --> 00:54:51.131
Uh, roger.
647
00:54:51.133 --> 00:54:53.200
Uh, stand by for a couple
of minutes here.
648
00:54:53.202 --> 00:54:55.340
Roger.
649
00:54:55.360 --> 00:54:56.770
Okay, Gemini 8,
650
00:54:56.772 --> 00:54:58.238
uh, we have TM solid.
651
00:54:58.240 --> 00:54:59.738
You're looking good
on the ground.
652
00:54:59.740 --> 00:55:01.842
Go ahead and dock.
653
00:55:18.260 --> 00:55:21.763
Okay. We're gonna cycle
our Rigid-Stop switch now.
654
00:55:46.389 --> 00:55:48.255
Flight, we are docked.
655
00:55:58.501 --> 00:56:00.767
Someone call Cronkite!
656
00:56:00.769 --> 00:56:03.771
Have him tell the Soviets
that they can go screw!
657
00:56:03.773 --> 00:56:06.600
Get him on the phone, man.
658
00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:07.375
Hey, Pete!
Hey, call those idiots
659
00:56:07.377 --> 00:56:08.976
at Congress while you're at it.
660
00:56:08.978 --> 00:56:11.978
- Yeah, I'll start with Rhode Island.
- Huh?
661
00:56:11.980 --> 00:56:14.916
Oh, damn.
662
00:56:14.918 --> 00:56:16.418
Well done.
Let's go ahead and get
663
00:56:16.420 --> 00:56:18.419
a state vector
on the combined spacecraft.
664
00:56:18.421 --> 00:56:20.755
Gemini 8,
this is Houston CAPCOM.
665
00:56:20.757 --> 00:56:21.889
Please stand by to copy.
666
00:56:21.891 --> 00:56:22.957
Check out my room like this.
667
00:56:22.959 --> 00:56:24.926
- But I don't think...
- Look at all these papers.
668
00:56:24.928 --> 00:56:26.127
I know.
669
00:56:26.129 --> 00:56:28.397
I spent days
trying to work on that,
670
00:56:28.399 --> 00:56:30.364
and now it's crumpled up.
671
00:56:30.366 --> 00:56:32.900
- Look at my drawer!
- I know.
672
00:56:32.902 --> 00:56:34.469
I had all my crayons in that,
673
00:56:34.471 --> 00:56:36.504
and now look
at all the crayons.
674
00:56:36.506 --> 00:56:38.306
But, Ricky, are you telling me
the full story?
675
00:56:38.308 --> 00:56:40.142
'Cause I'm not sure your
brother would do that unless...
676
00:56:40.144 --> 00:56:41.876
Yes, I am telling you!
Look at this!
677
00:56:41.878 --> 00:56:43.545
Now, don't you get angry
with me.
678
00:56:43.547 --> 00:56:45.214
Don't get upset.
679
00:56:45.216 --> 00:56:46.882
Uh, Eight, this is Houston.
680
00:56:46.884 --> 00:56:48.916
Uh, I've got a nodal update
for you. Stand by.
681
00:56:48.918 --> 00:56:50.785
Anybody try calling
about the appointment?
682
00:56:50.787 --> 00:56:52.821
Okay, go ahead.
683
00:56:52.823 --> 00:56:54.222
- Rick!
- Roger.
684
00:56:54.224 --> 00:56:56.358
Node 070447...
685
00:56:56.360 --> 00:56:58.460
Okay. Out here now.
686
00:56:58.462 --> 00:57:00.270
Out here now.
687
00:57:00.290 --> 00:57:01.829
Against 51552 right ascension.
688
00:57:01.831 --> 00:57:04.132
Gemini 8, we're
about to have a loss of signal.
689
00:57:04.134 --> 00:57:05.967
- Where have you gone?
- We'll pick you up
690
00:57:05.969 --> 00:57:07.902
over the hill for Dave's E.V.A.
691
00:57:15.446 --> 00:57:19.248
Well, that's peculiar.
692
00:57:19.250 --> 00:57:21.283
Oh, good.
693
00:57:21.285 --> 00:57:23.985
I'm hoping
that's just excess hydrogen.
694
00:57:23.987 --> 00:57:25.954
I think I'm gonna
save mine for later.
695
00:57:27.191 --> 00:57:28.391
Little treat.
696
00:57:33.397 --> 00:57:35.267
Uh, Neil, we're in a bank.
697
00:57:42.906 --> 00:57:45.240
We're not doing it.
It's-it's not us. It must be...
698
00:57:45.242 --> 00:57:47.509
Shut off the Agena's
control systems.
699
00:57:47.511 --> 00:57:51.115
Code 400,
Agena control system shutdown.
700
00:58:15.730 --> 00:58:17.400
Cycle the Agena.
701
00:58:17.420 --> 00:58:18.173
Turning it on.
702
00:58:18.175 --> 00:58:20.109
Turning it off.
703
00:58:44.936 --> 00:58:46.637
I'm gonna cycle the ACME
704
00:58:46.639 --> 00:58:49.105
and the propellant
motor valves.
705
00:58:49.107 --> 00:58:51.240
Switching ADL to pitch.
706
00:58:51.242 --> 00:58:53.212
RL to pitch.
707
00:58:59.584 --> 00:59:01.190
Roll meter 200 and rising.
708
00:59:04.924 --> 00:59:05.988
Separate from the Agena.
709
00:59:08.193 --> 00:59:11.280
Setting Agena
to allow remote command.
710
00:59:11.300 --> 00:59:12.529
Switching on the DAC.
711
00:59:12.531 --> 00:59:14.630
Make sure you give it
extra thrust
712
00:59:14.650 --> 00:59:15.399
so we don't smash
into the Agena.
713
00:59:15.401 --> 00:59:16.934
On my mark, undock.
714
00:59:19.137 --> 00:59:22.390
Two. One.
715
00:59:37.289 --> 00:59:39.724
OAMS propellant, 13%.
716
00:59:39.726 --> 00:59:41.692
It's not the Agena. It's us.
717
01:00:04.150 --> 01:00:08.686
Gemini 8, coming back
into range in three, two, one.
718
01:00:08.688 --> 01:00:11.220
This is CSQ,
checking our comm link.
719
01:00:11.240 --> 01:00:12.623
How do you read?
720
01:00:14.126 --> 01:00:17.280
Gemini 8, how do you read?
721
01:00:17.300 --> 01:00:18.996
We have serious problems.
722
01:00:18.998 --> 01:00:21.132
We're tumbling
end over end up here.
723
01:00:21.134 --> 01:00:22.734
We're disengaged
from the Agena.
724
01:00:22.736 --> 01:00:25.169
Okay, we got your spacecraft
725
01:00:25.171 --> 01:00:27.305
free indication here.
726
01:00:27.307 --> 01:00:29.373
What seems to be the problem?
727
01:00:29.375 --> 01:00:32.210
We're rolling up,
and we can't turn anything off.
728
01:00:32.212 --> 01:00:34.120
We're continuously increasing
in a left roll.
729
01:00:34.140 --> 01:00:35.345
CSQ, Flight.
730
01:00:35.347 --> 01:00:36.681
Go ahead, Flight.
731
01:00:36.683 --> 01:00:39.584
Did he say he cannot turn
the Agena off?
732
01:00:39.586 --> 01:00:42.420
Uh, no, he says
he's separated from the Agena
733
01:00:42.422 --> 01:00:45.523
and he's in a roll
and he can't stop it.
734
01:00:45.525 --> 01:00:48.259
Flight, their roll meter
reads 270 and rising.
735
01:00:48.261 --> 01:00:49.694
At that rate,
they'll be passing out
736
01:00:49.696 --> 01:00:51.531
in about 40 seconds.
737
01:00:52.633 --> 01:00:53.700
Paul.
738
01:00:54.801 --> 01:00:56.636
Paul.
739
01:00:58.473 --> 01:01:00.638
Trying to stop the rates.
740
01:01:00.640 --> 01:01:02.677
We certainly have...
741
01:01:52.761 --> 01:01:54.295
We can't...
742
01:02:16.285 --> 01:02:18.617
Close the RCS breakers.
743
01:02:21.757 --> 01:02:24.623
- Dave!
- Gemini 8, did you say
744
01:02:24.625 --> 01:02:27.661
you are closing RCS breakers?
745
01:02:27.663 --> 01:02:31.665
Are you initiating RCS?
746
01:02:31.667 --> 01:02:36.770
Gemini 8, again, did you say
you are closing RCS breakers?
747
01:02:36.772 --> 01:02:39.873
You will not be able
to control your attitude.
748
01:03:06.635 --> 01:03:07.834
Okay.
749
01:03:07.836 --> 01:03:10.270
We're regaining control
of the spacecraft.
750
01:03:10.272 --> 01:03:12.238
Slowly in RCS direct.
751
01:03:13.943 --> 01:03:16.209
Roger.
752
01:03:16.211 --> 01:03:17.677
Roger. Copy.
753
01:03:17.679 --> 01:03:19.179
We're pulsing the RCS slowly.
754
01:03:19.181 --> 01:03:20.513
It's all roll right.
755
01:03:20.515 --> 01:03:23.316
We're trying to kill
our roll rate here.
756
01:03:31.694 --> 01:03:34.562
Move us back to one ring.
757
01:03:34.564 --> 01:03:35.595
Copy.
758
01:03:45.875 --> 01:03:47.641
I want
emergency landing options.
759
01:03:47.643 --> 01:03:50.245
Wait until you find out
how much fuel they have left.
760
01:03:51.848 --> 01:03:54.314
Bob, what do you think?
761
01:03:54.316 --> 01:03:56.319
I think they'd better land now.
762
01:04:00.623 --> 01:04:03.693
Deke, Jan's outside.
763
01:04:19.509 --> 01:04:21.677
Jan, the ship is stable.
They're gonna be all right.
764
01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:23.544
He's okay, Jan.
765
01:04:23.546 --> 01:04:24.945
I need you to go home.
766
01:04:24.947 --> 01:04:26.614
Fine. Turn the box back on.
767
01:04:26.616 --> 01:04:28.160
- I'll see what I can do...
- Now.
768
01:04:28.180 --> 01:04:31.585
Turn the box back on now.
769
01:04:31.587 --> 01:04:32.921
Well, there's
security protocol in place.
770
01:04:32.923 --> 01:04:34.489
Well, I don't give a damn.
771
01:04:34.491 --> 01:04:36.390
I've got a dozen cameras
on my front lawn, Deke.
772
01:04:36.392 --> 01:04:37.926
Do you want me telling them
what's going on?
773
01:04:37.928 --> 01:04:39.828
Jan, you have to trust us.
774
01:04:39.830 --> 01:04:41.395
We've got this under control.
775
01:04:41.397 --> 01:04:43.297
- No, you don't.
- We've...
776
01:04:43.299 --> 01:04:44.733
All these protocols
and procedures
777
01:04:44.735 --> 01:04:47.468
to make it seem like
you have it under control.
778
01:04:47.470 --> 01:04:49.537
But you're a bunch of boys
779
01:04:49.539 --> 01:04:51.373
making models
out of balsa wood.
780
01:04:51.375 --> 01:04:53.574
You don't have anything
under control.
781
01:04:58.449 --> 01:05:00.314
Naha Rescue One will be
782
01:05:00.316 --> 01:05:04.453
on station at splashdown
with a flotation collar.
783
01:05:04.455 --> 01:05:06.822
Did you get the call signs?
784
01:05:06.824 --> 01:05:08.356
Uh, yeah.
785
01:05:08.358 --> 01:05:10.694
It's Naha Rescue One,
Naha Search One.
786
01:05:12.930 --> 01:05:14.830
Well, I'd like to argue
with them
787
01:05:14.832 --> 01:05:17.632
about the going home,
but I'm...
788
01:05:17.634 --> 01:05:19.603
not sure how we can.
789
01:05:21.305 --> 01:05:23.437
Yeah.
790
01:05:23.439 --> 01:05:28.580
I just keep thinking, is there
anything else that we forgot?
791
01:05:29.947 --> 01:05:32.316
We did everything,
as far as I know.
792
01:05:45.462 --> 01:05:48.330
Gemini 8 saw
two complex vehicles
793
01:05:48.332 --> 01:05:50.566
launched on the same day
on time.
794
01:05:51.870 --> 01:05:54.360
We saw flawless rendezvous
and docking.
795
01:05:54.380 --> 01:05:56.839
All of which is tended
to be overshadowed
796
01:05:56.841 --> 01:05:59.808
by the malfunction, but, uh,
797
01:05:59.810 --> 01:06:02.440
I think we should focus
on the progress
798
01:06:02.460 --> 01:06:03.946
resulting from the mission.
799
01:06:03.948 --> 01:06:06.381
The board would like to focus
800
01:06:06.383 --> 01:06:07.717
on the malfunction.
801
01:06:07.719 --> 01:06:09.786
Neil, walk us through
the decision
802
01:06:09.788 --> 01:06:12.420
to separate from the Agena.
803
01:06:14.425 --> 01:06:16.559
You mentioned
that the rate of revolution
804
01:06:16.561 --> 01:06:18.426
was more than once a second.
805
01:06:18.428 --> 01:06:20.363
How near were you
to being unconscious?
806
01:06:20.365 --> 01:06:22.650
Did you think to use the Agena
807
01:06:22.670 --> 01:06:23.365
to stabilize
the combined craft?
808
01:06:23.367 --> 01:06:24.734
We did.
809
01:06:24.736 --> 01:06:27.737
This was, uh, not successful.
810
01:06:27.739 --> 01:06:29.972
As I said, we initially assumed
811
01:06:29.974 --> 01:06:32.575
that the anomaly was with
the Agena control system.
812
01:06:32.577 --> 01:06:34.443
'Cause there was no way to know
that a thruster
813
01:06:34.445 --> 01:06:36.780
was causing the...
814
01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:41.500
If we could have, uh, isolated
each of Gemini's thrusters,
815
01:06:41.520 --> 01:06:43.619
if we'd had that capability
in the moment...
816
01:06:45.456 --> 01:06:47.857
Agence France. Did you have
any feeling of anxiety
817
01:06:47.859 --> 01:06:50.426
after the failure
of the thrusters?
818
01:06:50.428 --> 01:06:52.496
In the midst of the spinning,
did you seem to realize
819
01:06:52.498 --> 01:06:55.933
or feel the presence of God
closer than other times?
820
01:06:55.935 --> 01:06:57.968
With this so hot
on the heels of the loss
821
01:06:57.970 --> 01:06:59.669
of Charlie Bassett
and Elliot See,
822
01:06:59.671 --> 01:07:01.805
do you question whether
the program's worth the cost?
823
01:07:01.807 --> 01:07:02.975
In money and in lives?
824
01:07:15.554 --> 01:07:17.154
All right, thanks, guys.
825
01:07:17.156 --> 01:07:18.922
We've got a lot to discuss,
and we'll be
826
01:07:18.924 --> 01:07:20.900
back in touch with you soon.
827
01:07:20.920 --> 01:07:21.825
Thank you.
828
01:07:23.494 --> 01:07:25.128
Mm-mm.
829
01:07:25.130 --> 01:07:27.865
No, so we're using
our thumb now, honey.
830
01:07:27.867 --> 01:07:28.966
- Oh.
- Okay.
831
01:07:33.206 --> 01:07:34.972
"Our Wild Ride in Space"?
832
01:07:34.974 --> 01:07:36.840
It's marketing, Mr. Armstrong.
833
01:07:36.842 --> 01:07:38.809
NASA approval numbers
are dropping.
834
01:07:38.811 --> 01:07:40.577
- We need to...
- Well, that's not my concern.
835
01:07:40.579 --> 01:07:42.512
Almost.
Okay, I'm gonna finish, uh,
836
01:07:42.514 --> 01:07:44.115
wrapping your brother's
present. I'll be back.
837
01:07:44.117 --> 01:07:46.516
- You practice that one.
- I'll try.
838
01:07:47.953 --> 01:07:49.453
I'm not interested in how
839
01:07:49.455 --> 01:07:51.457
other magazines
are framing the story.
840
01:08:05.700 --> 01:08:07.140
Okay. Keep going.
841
01:08:08.842 --> 01:08:10.708
If it's any consolation,
842
01:08:10.710 --> 01:08:12.944
Ed was a zombie for weeks
after Gemini 4.
843
01:08:12.946 --> 01:08:14.511
- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
844
01:08:15.815 --> 01:08:17.547
Yeah.
845
01:08:17.549 --> 01:08:21.586
I guess it must be, uh,
disorienting for them.
846
01:08:21.588 --> 01:08:23.988
Certainly.
847
01:08:23.990 --> 01:08:26.590
Yeah.
848
01:08:27.827 --> 01:08:30.280
God, Pat.
849
01:08:30.300 --> 01:08:34.166
I married Neil
'cause I wanted a normal life.
850
01:08:35.567 --> 01:08:37.771
I know. I know.
851
01:08:40.107 --> 01:08:42.573
He was just so different from
all the other boys on campus.
852
01:08:42.575 --> 01:08:43.510
Mmm.
853
01:08:44.844 --> 01:08:47.845
He'd been through the war.
You know.
854
01:08:47.847 --> 01:08:50.648
He knew what he wanted to do.
855
01:08:50.650 --> 01:08:52.753
He just seemed so stable.
856
01:08:54.955 --> 01:08:57.557
I guess all I wanted
was stability.
857
01:09:03.563 --> 01:09:06.597
I've got a sorority sister
with a normal life.
858
01:09:06.599 --> 01:09:09.268
- Yeah?
- She married a dentist.
859
01:09:09.270 --> 01:09:10.769
Dentist.
860
01:09:10.771 --> 01:09:12.304
Sounds good.
861
01:09:12.306 --> 01:09:15.641
He's home by 6:00 every night,
and every few months,
862
01:09:15.643 --> 01:09:17.744
she calls to say
she wishes he weren't.
863
01:09:25.820 --> 01:09:27.655
Yeah.
864
01:09:32.593 --> 01:09:34.227
Still working, I see.
865
01:09:34.229 --> 01:09:35.828
Yeah.
866
01:09:35.830 --> 01:09:38.797
Well, I was, uh,
867
01:09:38.799 --> 01:09:41.235
gonna go grab a beer at Dave's.
868
01:09:47.800 --> 01:09:48.674
Yeah, all right. Fine.
869
01:09:48.676 --> 01:09:50.911
I could use a beer.
870
01:09:54.915 --> 01:09:58.584
♪ Sure, so sure, so sure...
871
01:09:58.586 --> 01:10:01.287
You know, I will say one thing.
872
01:10:01.289 --> 01:10:05.357
It's all I can think about,
is getting back up there.
873
01:10:05.359 --> 01:10:07.659
Just caught a rough break.
874
01:10:07.661 --> 01:10:09.829
Well, you boys
did everything right.
875
01:10:09.831 --> 01:10:12.765
Everything. You know, I was
talking about it with Gus,
876
01:10:12.767 --> 01:10:13.799
and we both agreed.
877
01:10:13.801 --> 01:10:15.100
I did hear a little rumor
878
01:10:15.300 --> 01:10:17.360
that you and Gus
have been hanging out.
879
01:10:17.380 --> 01:10:18.700
You did?
880
01:10:18.720 --> 01:10:19.105
Mm-hmm.
881
01:10:19.107 --> 01:10:20.173
Hey.
882
01:10:20.175 --> 01:10:22.609
Is it true?
883
01:10:22.611 --> 01:10:24.645
Is what true?
884
01:10:27.949 --> 01:10:29.615
Deke pulled me aside
and told me
885
01:10:29.617 --> 01:10:31.319
that him and Gus want me
on the crew.
886
01:10:33.880 --> 01:10:34.987
Of the first Apollo?
887
01:10:34.989 --> 01:10:36.823
Yeah.
888
01:10:36.825 --> 01:10:39.250
Yeah. Holy shit.
889
01:10:39.270 --> 01:10:40.160
That's huge.
890
01:10:40.162 --> 01:10:42.628
Congratulations.
891
01:10:42.630 --> 01:10:44.631
I gotta shake your hand.
892
01:10:44.633 --> 01:10:46.300
- Thanks, man.
- Wow.
893
01:10:46.302 --> 01:10:47.901
That Saturn's a monster.
894
01:10:47.903 --> 01:10:49.669
You're in for one heck
of a ride.
895
01:10:49.671 --> 01:10:51.905
- It is.
- Oh, hey, uh, uh,
896
01:10:51.907 --> 01:10:53.273
you know Deke wants Gus to be
897
01:10:53.275 --> 01:10:54.974
the first one
on the Moon, so...
898
01:10:54.976 --> 01:10:58.120
Hey, that puts you in the LEM
with him for the landing.
899
01:10:58.140 --> 01:10:59.779
- Oh, no, no, no, let's not...
- Ed.
900
01:10:59.781 --> 01:11:01.281
- Let's not get carried away.
- All right.
901
01:11:01.283 --> 01:11:03.350
Get out of my house.
I gotta go to bed.
902
01:11:03.352 --> 01:11:06.986
I'm not kidding. Get out of my house.
903
01:11:08.900 --> 01:11:09.225
Neil.
904
01:11:11.193 --> 01:11:12.725
Hey, Neil.
Don't bother sitting.
905
01:11:12.727 --> 01:11:14.195
It's going to be
a short meeting.
906
01:11:14.197 --> 01:11:16.330
We've talked it through.
We think it's pretty clear.
907
01:11:16.332 --> 01:11:18.765
If you hadn't kept cool,
you wouldn't be here,
908
01:11:18.767 --> 01:11:20.733
and we'd still be asking
what the hell happened.
909
01:11:20.735 --> 01:11:22.802
So would Congress.
It's a showstopper.
910
01:11:22.804 --> 01:11:24.170
This mission was a success.
911
01:11:24.172 --> 01:11:26.400
We're full steam ahead
for Apollo.
912
01:11:26.420 --> 01:11:27.808
You good with that?
913
01:11:27.810 --> 01:11:29.909
- Yes, sir.
- I trust you won't mind
914
01:11:29.911 --> 01:11:31.780
representing us
at the White House.
915
01:11:34.350 --> 01:11:36.951
- No, sir.
- Good.
916
01:11:36.953 --> 01:11:39.550
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
917
01:11:40.256 --> 01:11:42.560
Thank you.
918
01:11:42.580 --> 01:11:44.191
"Interface problems and develop
919
01:11:44.193 --> 01:11:46.826
operational techniques
for the most efficient use of,"
920
01:11:46.828 --> 01:11:50.970
uh, "onboard capabilities."
921
01:11:50.990 --> 01:11:51.999
What?
922
01:11:54.170 --> 01:11:56.237
No, it's not...
923
01:11:56.239 --> 01:11:58.273
I got one.
924
01:11:58.275 --> 01:12:00.174
- I got one.
- No! No!
925
01:12:00.176 --> 01:12:01.709
I got one.
926
01:12:01.711 --> 01:12:02.611
I don't know
why you're laughing.
927
01:12:02.613 --> 01:12:03.677
He's gonna do that to you
in a minute.
928
01:12:03.679 --> 01:12:06.380
This time, I'm gonna
put this one in the freezer.
929
01:12:06.382 --> 01:12:08.150
- You need a hand?
- Yeah.
930
01:12:08.170 --> 01:12:09.917
- Okay, in you go.
- Can you open the freezer?
931
01:12:09.919 --> 01:12:11.285
Let's keep him for longer,
932
01:12:11.287 --> 01:12:13.355
and then he won't let...
In you go. In you go.
933
01:12:24.167 --> 01:12:27.335
I got one. I got one.
934
01:12:27.337 --> 01:12:28.436
Because I want to.
935
01:12:28.438 --> 01:12:29.970
Who did... who did what?
936
01:12:29.972 --> 01:12:31.906
- Me.
- Have you seen his room?
937
01:12:31.908 --> 01:12:33.844
Son, go stand in the corner.
938
01:12:38.348 --> 01:12:40.415
It's not funny.
939
01:12:43.200 --> 01:12:44.886
Thanks a lot, Mark!
940
01:12:44.888 --> 01:12:46.987
- Stop laughing.
- You're lying!
941
01:12:46.989 --> 01:12:48.256
Just, you stop it.
942
01:12:48.258 --> 01:12:50.158
You're the reason he's upset.
943
01:12:50.160 --> 01:12:51.893
- Your mother's not laughing.
- I'm not laughing.
944
01:12:51.895 --> 01:12:53.270
- I'm... crying.
- She's crying.
945
01:12:53.290 --> 01:12:54.164
It's not yours!
946
01:12:57.968 --> 01:13:00.135
I gotta tell you,
947
01:13:00.137 --> 01:13:02.300
Eddie's started
asking questions
948
01:13:02.500 --> 01:13:04.440
- about the new command module.
- Is that right?
949
01:13:04.442 --> 01:13:07.800
Yeah, he wants to...
wants to know if it's gonna
950
01:13:07.100 --> 01:13:08.877
fly any different to Gemini.
951
01:13:08.879 --> 01:13:11.346
If the little buttons
are gonna be in the same place.
952
01:13:12.816 --> 01:13:14.417
- Oh, boy.
- Yeah.
953
01:13:14.419 --> 01:13:17.319
You got yourself
a little engineer there.
954
01:13:17.321 --> 01:13:21.259
I tell you, though,
I love that he's interested.
955
01:13:23.160 --> 01:13:26.429
Came in the other morning,
he did.
956
01:13:26.431 --> 01:13:29.464
Comes running up,
and he says, "Daddy,
957
01:13:29.466 --> 01:13:32.969
"if you go to the Moon, are you
gonna be lonely out there?
958
01:13:32.971 --> 01:13:35.305
So far away from the Earth."
959
01:13:38.420 --> 01:13:40.110
"All of us back here at home."
960
01:13:42.480 --> 01:13:45.483
This-this whole thing
is expanding his horizons.
961
01:13:47.352 --> 01:13:49.786
It, uh, gives me faith.
962
01:13:51.189 --> 01:13:53.156
It make sense?
963
01:13:56.894 --> 01:13:59.896
Walkers got a new swing set.
964
01:14:01.432 --> 01:14:03.368
Yeah, I noticed that.
965
01:14:13.177 --> 01:14:17.515
We had a swing like that
back up in Juniper Hills.
966
01:14:22.530 --> 01:14:24.856
Karen really loved it.
967
01:14:27.459 --> 01:14:29.260
That's your daughter?
968
01:14:38.437 --> 01:14:40.936
Guess I ought to be
getting home.
969
01:15:31.524 --> 01:15:33.158
Closing hatches now.
970
01:15:40.400 --> 01:15:41.598
Okay, that's all of 'em.
971
01:15:41.600 --> 01:15:42.935
Thanks, Ed.
972
01:15:45.205 --> 01:15:47.437
Ablative hatch closed.
973
01:15:47.439 --> 01:15:50.343
Closing the boost
protective cover.
974
01:15:51.444 --> 01:15:52.511
And plugs out.
975
01:15:54.120 --> 01:15:56.140
- Confirm boost hatch sealed.
- Okay.
976
01:16:03.656 --> 01:16:05.390
Ready for oxygen purge.
977
01:16:07.590 --> 01:16:08.426
Okay, we're going to pick up,
978
01:16:08.428 --> 01:16:09.994
but we'll stay
in this configuration
979
01:16:09.996 --> 01:16:12.530
that we're involved
for the rest of the run.
980
01:16:12.532 --> 01:16:14.298
Roger that.
981
01:16:14.300 --> 01:16:16.634
Okay, tell everybody
to be aware that, uh...
982
01:16:16.636 --> 01:16:18.369
Uh, you want to hold down
the chatter?
983
01:16:18.371 --> 01:16:20.138
We're on open mic.
984
01:16:20.140 --> 01:16:22.410
Uh, let's hold the countdown.
985
01:16:26.112 --> 01:16:27.646
Sorry, guys.
We'll get this squared.
986
01:16:27.648 --> 01:16:30.148
Shit, we're gonna
be here all night.
987
01:16:30.150 --> 01:16:31.449
Gus, we didn't get that.
988
01:16:31.451 --> 01:16:32.751
Course you didn't.
989
01:16:35.121 --> 01:16:37.591
Glad you think this is funny.
990
01:16:45.165 --> 01:16:46.664
We finished strong with Gemini,
991
01:16:46.666 --> 01:16:48.734
and we're very, very bullish
on Apollo, Senator.
992
01:16:48.736 --> 01:16:51.737
I should hope so, given the
time we've spent developing it.
993
01:16:51.739 --> 01:16:54.338
Half the country doesn't think
it's worth it anymore.
994
01:16:54.340 --> 01:16:57.420
Uh, well...
995
01:16:57.440 --> 01:17:00.378
we... we learned to fly
only 60 years ago,
996
01:17:00.380 --> 01:17:04.316
so if you consider
the technological developments
997
01:17:04.318 --> 01:17:06.117
in the context of history,
it's really not...
998
01:17:06.119 --> 01:17:08.487
I'm considering it in the
context of taxpayer dollars.
999
01:17:08.489 --> 01:17:10.756
And so are we, Senator.
1000
01:17:10.758 --> 01:17:13.240
Between us,
we're doing some final tests
1001
01:17:13.260 --> 01:17:14.693
on the new
command module today.
1002
01:17:14.695 --> 01:17:17.295
I'm sure Mr. Gilruth will be
happy to tell you about it.
1003
01:17:17.297 --> 01:17:19.164
Let me introduce you to Bob.
Come on.
1004
01:17:19.166 --> 01:17:20.434
Okay.
1005
01:17:24.505 --> 01:17:26.572
I'd like a photo, sir.
1006
01:17:26.574 --> 01:17:29.142
How about you boys?
1007
01:17:40.454 --> 01:17:42.588
Well, I haven't talked yet.
How's this?
1008
01:17:42.590 --> 01:17:45.157
One, two, three, four, five,
1009
01:17:45.159 --> 01:17:47.693
four, three, two, one?
1010
01:17:54.301 --> 01:17:56.680
Uh, we need another minute
1011
01:17:56.700 --> 01:17:57.303
to get it sorted.
1012
01:17:57.305 --> 01:17:59.204
How are we gonna
get to the Moon
1013
01:17:59.206 --> 01:18:01.508
if we can't talk
between three buildings?
1014
01:18:01.510 --> 01:18:03.745
They can't hear a thing
you're saying.
1015
01:18:05.179 --> 01:18:06.546
Jesus Christ.
1016
01:18:06.548 --> 01:18:08.146
Say again?
1017
01:18:08.148 --> 01:18:09.716
I said, how are we gonna
get to the Moon
1018
01:18:09.718 --> 01:18:11.450
if we can't talk between two
or three buildings?
1019
01:18:13.555 --> 01:18:15.555
You tell 'em, Gus.
You tell 'em.
1020
01:18:15.557 --> 01:18:16.756
Mickey Mouse shit.
1021
01:18:16.758 --> 01:18:19.392
I got a surge
in the AC bus two voltage.
1022
01:18:19.394 --> 01:18:20.760
Try resetting the meter.
1023
01:18:20.762 --> 01:18:23.128
You getting this, Gus?
1024
01:18:23.130 --> 01:18:25.970
Rog.
1025
01:18:25.990 --> 01:18:27.333
You picking anything up
on the dials?
1026
01:18:36.778 --> 01:18:38.812
Hey, we got a fire
in the cockpit.
1027
01:18:44.720 --> 01:18:47.255
Hey, we got a bad fire!
1028
01:18:51.226 --> 01:18:52.694
We're burning up in here!
1029
01:19:03.204 --> 01:19:04.871
Mr. Armstrong?
1030
01:19:04.873 --> 01:19:06.840
I have Deke Slayton
on the phone for you.
1031
01:19:06.842 --> 01:19:08.409
Oh.
1032
01:19:08.411 --> 01:19:09.845
Right this way.
1033
01:19:17.687 --> 01:19:19.252
Thank you.
1034
01:19:19.254 --> 01:19:21.255
Well, I'm glad you called.
1035
01:19:21.257 --> 01:19:23.624
I'm not sure if I'm helping
or hurting over here.
1036
01:19:23.626 --> 01:19:25.926
Neil, we had a problem
with the plugs-out test.
1037
01:19:25.928 --> 01:19:28.662
Well, that's why
we have tests, right?
1038
01:19:28.664 --> 01:19:30.531
We'll figure it out.
1039
01:19:30.533 --> 01:19:32.368
There was a fire.
1040
01:19:33.870 --> 01:19:36.904
God, there's no easy way
to say this.
1041
01:19:36.906 --> 01:19:39.908
Ed, Gus and Roger...
1042
01:19:39.910 --> 01:19:41.844
they're gone.
1043
01:19:45.916 --> 01:19:47.715
We think it was a wiring issue.
1044
01:19:47.717 --> 01:19:49.683
A spark in all that oxygen.
1045
01:19:49.685 --> 01:19:51.720
It happened very quickly.
1046
01:19:51.722 --> 01:19:54.722
Now, listen, we need you guys
to head back to the hotel.
1047
01:19:54.724 --> 01:19:56.490
The press is gonna be
all over this.
1048
01:19:56.492 --> 01:19:59.526
Congress is gonna be calling
for investigations. We...
1049
01:19:59.528 --> 01:20:04.264
We just don't want you guys
in the middle of all that.
1050
01:20:04.266 --> 01:20:06.135
Do you understand?
1051
01:20:07.904 --> 01:20:09.573
Yeah.
1052
01:20:11.674 --> 01:20:13.409
All right, then.
1053
01:20:15.812 --> 01:20:17.480
Okay.
1054
01:20:49.413 --> 01:20:50.946
A lot of people forget about
1055
01:20:50.948 --> 01:20:52.246
the influence
that the lunar program has
1056
01:20:52.248 --> 01:20:54.883
on the raising of our
young people in the country.
1057
01:20:54.885 --> 01:20:57.285
I think that if a civilization
doesn't look out,
1058
01:20:57.287 --> 01:20:59.954
if it doesn't try
to expand its horizons,
1059
01:20:59.956 --> 01:21:04.492
then we're not going
to progress as a nation.
1060
01:21:04.494 --> 01:21:06.929
At 10:30 tonight Eastern Time,
1061
01:21:06.931 --> 01:21:09.330
rescue teams began
to remove the bodies
1062
01:21:09.332 --> 01:21:12.600
of the three astronauts
from the charred spacecraft.
1063
01:21:12.602 --> 01:21:14.904
A NASA spokesman
said the dead astronauts
1064
01:21:14.906 --> 01:21:17.405
were left in the ship
for four hours
1065
01:21:17.407 --> 01:21:20.710
to aid the investigation
into the tragedy.
1066
01:21:20.712 --> 01:21:23.745
And according to the
latest information from NASA
1067
01:21:23.747 --> 01:21:25.614
at the Manned Spacecraft Center
in Houston,
1068
01:21:25.616 --> 01:21:27.283
the first Apollo flight,
1069
01:21:27.285 --> 01:21:30.953
which was scheduled for
February the 21st, is now...
1070
01:21:41.364 --> 01:21:43.650
Winds are pretty rough today.
1071
01:21:43.670 --> 01:21:44.667
Keep an eye on your yaw.
1072
01:21:44.669 --> 01:21:46.904
Copy. Correcting.
1073
01:21:55.813 --> 01:21:59.751
1,000 feet.
Switching to lunar mode.
1074
01:22:03.521 --> 01:22:04.655
Final landing approach.
1075
01:22:08.359 --> 01:22:09.628
You're too low. Climb.
1076
01:22:11.996 --> 01:22:14.396
Control is degrading.
1077
01:22:14.398 --> 01:22:16.532
Slow your rates.
1078
01:22:16.534 --> 01:22:17.969
Do you read?
1079
01:22:18.937 --> 01:22:20.371
Neil?
1080
01:23:23.869 --> 01:23:26.103
The vehicle's not safe.
1081
01:23:26.105 --> 01:23:27.839
Well, unfortunately, it's
the best simulation we have.
1082
01:23:27.841 --> 01:23:29.573
And you and the others
are too valuable.
1083
01:23:29.575 --> 01:23:31.108
It's a fly-by-wire system
that's got no backup.
1084
01:23:31.110 --> 01:23:32.643
The ejection seat
is the backup.
1085
01:23:32.645 --> 01:23:34.110
Political fallout
from another accident
1086
01:23:34.112 --> 01:23:35.846
- will compromise our...
- With all due respect, sir,
1087
01:23:35.848 --> 01:23:37.815
it's not my job to worry
about the political fallout.
1088
01:23:37.817 --> 01:23:39.150
The damn thing
could have killed you.
1089
01:23:39.152 --> 01:23:40.917
- Well, it didn't.
- A split second more,
1090
01:23:40.919 --> 01:23:42.954
- and you would not be...
- Well, we need to fail.
1091
01:23:42.956 --> 01:23:45.556
We need to fail down here
so we don't fail up there.
1092
01:23:45.558 --> 01:23:47.424
Okay, Neil, Neil.
1093
01:23:47.426 --> 01:23:50.270
At what cost, huh?
1094
01:23:50.290 --> 01:23:52.196
"At what cost?"
1095
01:23:52.198 --> 01:23:55.533
Well, it's a little bit late
1096
01:23:55.535 --> 01:23:57.936
for that question,
isn't it, sir?
1097
01:24:05.444 --> 01:24:06.844
They raise
their voices, their placards,
1098
01:24:06.846 --> 01:24:08.613
and they march
against the government.
1099
01:24:08.615 --> 01:24:11.515
But some go farther,
burning Selective Service cards
1100
01:24:11.517 --> 01:24:13.170
and obstructing the draft.
1101
01:24:13.190 --> 01:24:14.819
Most dissenters
confine themselves
1102
01:24:14.821 --> 01:24:16.988
to this kind
of protest activity.
1103
01:24:16.990 --> 01:24:18.556
Hey, hey! LBJ!
1104
01:24:18.558 --> 01:24:20.125
How many kids
did you kill today?
1105
01:24:20.127 --> 01:24:22.693
Hey, hey! LBJ!
1106
01:24:22.695 --> 01:24:24.864
How many kids
did you kill today?
1107
01:24:28.902 --> 01:24:30.570
Pat?
1108
01:24:44.251 --> 01:24:46.850
Pat.
1109
01:24:47.654 --> 01:24:49.154
You okay?
1110
01:24:49.156 --> 01:24:50.858
Yes.
1111
01:25:08.809 --> 01:25:10.210
Why don't we go inside?
1112
01:25:37.771 --> 01:25:39.473
Hi.
1113
01:25:44.245 --> 01:25:46.111
Are you okay? Jesus.
1114
01:25:46.113 --> 01:25:47.779
Oh, I'm fine.
1115
01:25:47.781 --> 01:25:49.818
- Look at your face.
- Excuse me.
1116
01:25:54.122 --> 01:25:55.587
Dad, want to come play?
1117
01:25:55.589 --> 01:25:57.900
- Ricky.
- Uh...
1118
01:25:57.920 --> 01:25:59.258
Boys, go on. Go on.
1119
01:25:59.260 --> 01:26:01.761
I know, I know, I know.
Dad's fine.
1120
01:26:01.763 --> 01:26:03.960
Go on. Go back out.
1121
01:26:03.980 --> 01:26:05.980
Go back, go back.
1122
01:26:05.100 --> 01:26:08.201
Mark, not here.
1123
01:26:08.203 --> 01:26:10.802
What happened?
1124
01:26:10.804 --> 01:26:12.140
Um...
1125
01:26:15.311 --> 01:26:16.843
- I, uh...
- Jesus.
1126
01:26:16.845 --> 01:26:19.812
I just remembered I left
something at the office.
1127
01:26:33.962 --> 01:26:35.762
You've lately taken
1128
01:26:35.764 --> 01:26:38.320
a couple of swipes
at the space program.
1129
01:26:38.340 --> 01:26:40.800
I think it would be interesting
to, uh, talk more
1130
01:26:40.802 --> 01:26:42.269
about whether this
is the proper thing
1131
01:26:42.271 --> 01:26:44.400
to do with public treasury.
1132
01:26:44.600 --> 01:26:45.805
Is the sort of dreams
I would have,
1133
01:26:45.807 --> 01:26:47.874
would be a habitable
New York City, for instance.
1134
01:26:47.876 --> 01:26:49.776
It would seem to me
that that would be
1135
01:26:49.778 --> 01:26:51.245
a reasonable thing to do.
1136
01:26:51.247 --> 01:26:52.712
Wh-What has been the reaction
1137
01:26:52.714 --> 01:26:54.130
of your friends in this?
1138
01:26:54.150 --> 01:26:56.500
Well, they mostly think
that it's ridiculous
1139
01:26:56.520 --> 01:26:57.950
that we're spending
so much money
1140
01:26:57.952 --> 01:27:00.154
to go somewhere where
we don't know anything about.
1141
01:27:00.156 --> 01:27:02.890
And that the money
could be used
1142
01:27:02.910 --> 01:27:03.890
for a lot more helpful things.
1143
01:27:05.794 --> 01:27:09.229
Power!
1144
01:27:09.231 --> 01:27:11.664

1162
01:27:54.110 --> 01:27:56.244
Congress wouldn't fund us
to come in second.
1163
01:27:56.246 --> 01:27:59.113
Why else would NASA
be sending a rocket
1164
01:27:59.115 --> 01:28:01.883
that's had one issue
after another to the Moon?
1165
01:28:01.885 --> 01:28:04.840
Thanks for the insight, Buzz.
1166
01:28:06.389 --> 01:28:10.230
Always a pleasure with you.
1167
01:28:10.250 --> 01:28:12.600
Oh, it doesn't matter.
He's not in the lunar lottery.
1168
01:28:12.620 --> 01:28:14.129
And you are?
1169
01:28:14.131 --> 01:28:16.130
Well, the only guys
they let on the LLTV
1170
01:28:16.132 --> 01:28:18.765
since Neil's accident
are ones that might land.
1171
01:28:18.767 --> 01:28:21.136
So you think you're going
to the Moon?
1172
01:28:21.138 --> 01:28:24.873
Well, it's been up for grabs
since Gus died.
1173
01:28:24.875 --> 01:28:28.109
I'm just saying
what you're thinking.
1174
01:28:32.249 --> 01:28:34.351
Well, maybe you shouldn't.
1175
01:28:39.190 --> 01:28:41.289
Apollo 8 clearing the VAB
1176
01:28:41.291 --> 01:28:44.920
- and headed for the launchpad.
- Yeah!
1177
01:28:49.333 --> 01:28:51.833
Hell of a rocket.
1178
01:28:51.835 --> 01:28:54.350
Yeah.
1179
01:28:54.370 --> 01:28:57.439
Everything stays on track,
11's gonna be the landing.
1180
01:28:57.441 --> 01:29:00.410
I talked to Bob.
Everyone's in agreement.
1181
01:29:00.430 --> 01:29:02.146
We'd like you to command.
1182
01:29:08.853 --> 01:29:10.840
Okay.
1183
01:29:15.126 --> 01:29:17.580
I can see a helicopter
1184
01:29:17.600 --> 01:29:18.394
vectoring that way.
1185
01:29:18.396 --> 01:29:19.929
It looks like a red dot
1186
01:29:19.931 --> 01:29:21.829
with a long, long tail,
a long plume.
1187
01:29:21.831 --> 01:29:23.765
That's got to be
the spacecraft.
1188
01:29:23.767 --> 01:29:26.235
That has to be
Apollo 10 reentering.
1189
01:29:26.237 --> 01:29:29.104
And so the flight of Apollo 10
1190
01:29:29.106 --> 01:29:33.209
has performed the major
function of its mission.
1191
01:29:33.211 --> 01:29:36.110
It has proved, through
these daring three astronauts,
1192
01:29:36.130 --> 01:29:38.981
that, uh, all of the systems
work properly
1193
01:29:38.983 --> 01:29:41.984
and that there should be
no reason why man cannot,
1194
01:29:41.986 --> 01:29:44.186
perhaps as early as July,
1195
01:29:44.188 --> 01:29:47.556
land on that picked spot
on the Moon's equator.
1196
01:29:47.558 --> 01:29:49.925
These are sailors of the sky,
1197
01:29:49.927 --> 01:29:52.270
and what, uh,
we've seen and heard today
1198
01:29:52.290 --> 01:29:55.931
make the great ocean voyages
of the earthbound
1199
01:29:55.933 --> 01:29:59.134
seem... well,
earthbound indeed.
1200
01:29:59.136 --> 01:30:02.370
For as the poet wrote,
the crew of Apollo 10
1201
01:30:02.390 --> 01:30:05.207
has "slipped
the surly bonds of Earth"
1202
01:30:05.209 --> 01:30:07.277
and carried us over
into tomorrow.
1203
01:30:07.279 --> 01:30:09.450
In the past few hours,
1204
01:30:09.470 --> 01:30:11.847
man has come closer to the Moon
than ever in his history.
1205
01:30:11.849 --> 01:30:13.849
There were those
terrifying moments when...
1206
01:30:13.851 --> 01:30:15.818
Mom, what's wrong?
1207
01:30:15.820 --> 01:30:18.521
- Hmm?
- What's wrong?
1208
01:30:18.523 --> 01:30:20.459
Nothing, honey.
1209
01:30:21.892 --> 01:30:23.993
Your dad's going to the Moon.
1210
01:30:23.995 --> 01:30:25.364
Okay.
1211
01:30:27.990 --> 01:30:29.566
Can I go outside?
1212
01:30:29.568 --> 01:30:31.401
Sure.
1213
01:30:36.508 --> 01:30:38.375
Uh, we're here today
1214
01:30:38.377 --> 01:30:40.477
to talk about
the forthcoming flight.
1215
01:30:40.479 --> 01:30:44.247
But we're able to talk
about it because of, uh...
1216
01:30:44.249 --> 01:30:46.882
previous flights.
1217
01:30:46.884 --> 01:30:49.219
Every flight
took on new objectives
1218
01:30:49.221 --> 01:30:53.556
and left us with very few
additions to be completed.
1219
01:30:53.558 --> 01:30:55.859
We're very grateful to those
people who made it possible
1220
01:30:55.861 --> 01:30:57.129
for us to be here today.
1221
01:30:58.563 --> 01:31:00.230
All right,
we'll take some questions now.
1222
01:31:00.232 --> 01:31:02.233
Jim.
1223
01:31:02.235 --> 01:31:05.350
Neil, when you learned you were
going to command this flight,
1224
01:31:05.370 --> 01:31:07.571
were you surprised?
Overjoyed?
1225
01:31:07.573 --> 01:31:10.340
- I was pleased.
- Okay, but how would you compare
1226
01:31:10.342 --> 01:31:12.420
this feeling
to winning an automobile
1227
01:31:12.440 --> 01:31:13.812
or being selected
as an astronaut?
1228
01:31:16.114 --> 01:31:18.500
I was pleased.
1229
01:31:19.352 --> 01:31:23.153
- Brian.
- Neil, if it does turn out,
1230
01:31:23.155 --> 01:31:24.555
you'll go down in history.
1231
01:31:24.557 --> 01:31:26.457
What kind of thoughts
do you have about that
1232
01:31:26.459 --> 01:31:28.910
when the thought hits you, uh,
1233
01:31:28.930 --> 01:31:29.627
"Gosh, suppose
that flight's successful..."
1234
01:31:29.629 --> 01:31:31.362
We're planning on that flight
being successful.
1235
01:31:31.364 --> 01:31:33.530
Uh, I-I just meant,
1236
01:31:33.532 --> 01:31:36.402
how you feel about...
being a part of history.
1237
01:31:37.637 --> 01:31:40.270
I think I can shed
some light here.
1238
01:31:40.272 --> 01:31:43.207
It's a responsibility...
1239
01:31:43.209 --> 01:31:46.242
but it's exciting
to be the first.
1240
01:31:46.244 --> 01:31:49.180
Even my wife is excited.
1241
01:31:49.182 --> 01:31:52.416
She keeps slipping....
jewelry into my PPK.
1242
01:31:52.418 --> 01:31:54.618
You're planning on taking some of her jewelry
1243
01:31:54.620 --> 01:31:56.354
- to the Moon, Buzz?
- Sure.
1244
01:31:56.356 --> 01:31:58.880
Wh-What fella wouldn't want
1245
01:31:58.900 --> 01:32:00.910
to give his wife
bragging rights?
1246
01:32:00.930 --> 01:32:04.228
Neil, will you take anything?
1247
01:32:04.230 --> 01:32:07.164
Uh, if I had a choice,
I'd take more fuel.
1248
01:32:07.166 --> 01:32:10.690
All right, next question.
1249
01:32:21.248 --> 01:32:25.150
I thought you
were gonna talk to the boys.
1250
01:32:25.170 --> 01:32:28.419
What did you want me to say?
1251
01:32:28.421 --> 01:32:30.389
What do you want to say?
1252
01:32:30.391 --> 01:32:32.391
You're the one
that's going away.
1253
01:32:32.393 --> 01:32:34.628
Well, it's too late now.
They're asleep.
1254
01:32:37.431 --> 01:32:39.432
No, they're not, Neil.
1255
01:32:40.534 --> 01:32:42.534
You know they're not.
1256
01:32:42.536 --> 01:32:45.737
Why can't you talk to them?
1257
01:32:45.739 --> 01:32:47.674
What are you doing?
1258
01:32:49.476 --> 01:32:52.511
Uh... I'm packing.
1259
01:32:52.513 --> 01:32:54.579
No.
1260
01:32:54.581 --> 01:32:57.684
You're just killing time
until you can get in the car.
1261
01:33:03.557 --> 01:33:05.659
- Okay.
- Okay.
1262
01:33:09.330 --> 01:33:12.232
Neil, I need you
to talk to the boys.
1263
01:33:13.467 --> 01:33:16.134
Can you hear me?
1264
01:33:16.136 --> 01:33:19.337
I need you to talk to the boys.
What are you doing?
1265
01:33:19.339 --> 01:33:20.740
Stop.
1266
01:33:20.742 --> 01:33:22.774
- I'm going to work.
- Well, just stop it.
1267
01:33:22.776 --> 01:33:25.680
Just stop... just stop packing!
1268
01:33:39.326 --> 01:33:42.227
What are the chances
you're not coming back?
1269
01:33:42.229 --> 01:33:43.796
Hmm? What are the chances
1270
01:33:43.798 --> 01:33:46.331
this is the last time
the boys are gonna see you?
1271
01:33:46.333 --> 01:33:48.468
Well, I can't give you
an exact number.
1272
01:33:48.470 --> 01:33:50.738
I don't want
a fucking number, Neil!
1273
01:33:53.400 --> 01:33:55.508
It's not zero, is it?
1274
01:33:55.510 --> 01:33:57.111
Is it?
1275
01:33:58.680 --> 01:33:59.779
No.
1276
01:33:59.781 --> 01:34:02.548
No. It's not.
1277
01:34:02.550 --> 01:34:05.551
Pat doesn't have a husband.
1278
01:34:05.553 --> 01:34:09.190
Those kids, they don't
have a father anymore.
1279
01:34:11.226 --> 01:34:13.428
Do you understand
what that means?
1280
01:34:15.230 --> 01:34:19.499
What are the chances
that's gonna be Ricky and Mark?
1281
01:34:19.501 --> 01:34:22.670
And I... I can't tell them
1282
01:34:22.690 --> 01:34:24.504
that their dad spent
the last few minutes
1283
01:34:24.506 --> 01:34:26.442
packing his briefcase!
1284
01:34:28.743 --> 01:34:31.277
You're gonna sit 'em down,
both of them,
1285
01:34:31.279 --> 01:34:33.446
and you're gonna prepare them
for the fact
1286
01:34:33.448 --> 01:34:35.716
that you might not
ever come home.
1287
01:34:35.718 --> 01:34:37.417
You're doing that.
1288
01:34:37.419 --> 01:34:39.219
You.
1289
01:34:39.221 --> 01:34:40.655
Not me.
1290
01:34:42.290 --> 01:34:43.759
I'm done.
1291
01:34:49.732 --> 01:34:53.334
So you better start thinking
about what you're gonna say.
1292
01:35:14.624 --> 01:35:16.890
Jimmy asked
what you're gonna say
1293
01:35:16.892 --> 01:35:19.194
when you get onto the Moon.
1294
01:35:24.466 --> 01:35:27.668
Well, we're not sure
we're gonna get onto the Moon.
1295
01:35:27.670 --> 01:35:30.838
Uh... a lot of things
have to go right
1296
01:35:30.840 --> 01:35:33.173
before that happens.
1297
01:35:33.175 --> 01:35:36.310
How long will you be gone?
1298
01:35:36.312 --> 01:35:38.813
Um... well,
we launch in ten days,
1299
01:35:38.815 --> 01:35:41.783
we'll be up for eight, and then
about a month in quarantine.
1300
01:35:41.785 --> 01:35:43.785
What's quarantine?
1301
01:35:43.787 --> 01:35:46.823
We'll... be in isolation.
1302
01:35:49.626 --> 01:35:52.760
Uh, to protect
in case we, uh...
1303
01:35:52.762 --> 01:35:55.897
carry any diseases
from the lunar surface
1304
01:35:55.899 --> 01:35:58.465
or... something of that nature.
1305
01:35:58.467 --> 01:36:00.804
It's not likely,
but it's a precaution.
1306
01:36:02.472 --> 01:36:05.875
So you won't be here
for my swim meet?
1307
01:36:15.752 --> 01:36:17.320
No.
1308
01:36:18.888 --> 01:36:20.691
Sorry.
1309
01:36:31.301 --> 01:36:33.770
Does anyone have
any other questions?
1310
01:36:36.539 --> 01:36:38.941
Do you think
you're coming back?
1311
01:36:38.943 --> 01:36:41.944
We have real confidence
in the mission.
1312
01:36:41.946 --> 01:36:44.413
And, uh, there are some risks,
1313
01:36:44.415 --> 01:36:47.415
but we have every intention
of coming back.
1314
01:36:47.417 --> 01:36:50.253
But you might not.
1315
01:37:03.767 --> 01:37:05.703
That's right.
1316
01:37:14.712 --> 01:37:16.179
Okay.
1317
01:37:17.615 --> 01:37:19.550
Okay. Time for bed.
1318
01:37:54.686 --> 01:37:56.686
"Fate has ordained
1319
01:37:56.688 --> 01:37:59.923
"that the men who went
to the Moon to explore in peace
1320
01:37:59.925 --> 01:38:03.492
"will stay on the Moon
to rest in peace.
1321
01:38:03.494 --> 01:38:07.464
"These brave men, Neil
Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin,
1322
01:38:07.466 --> 01:38:10.532
"know there is no hope
for their recovery.
1323
01:38:10.534 --> 01:38:13.690
"They will be mourned
by their families.
1324
01:38:13.710 --> 01:38:15.771
"They will be
mourned by a Mother Earth
1325
01:38:15.773 --> 01:38:19.342
that dared send two
of her sons into the unknown."
1326
01:38:20.846 --> 01:38:22.578
"For every human being
1327
01:38:22.580 --> 01:38:24.914
"who looks up at the Moon
in the nights to come
1328
01:38:24.916 --> 01:38:26.716
"will know that
there is some corner
1329
01:38:26.718 --> 01:38:28.985
"of another world
1330
01:38:28.987 --> 01:38:32.489
that is forever mankind."
1331
01:38:32.491 --> 01:38:35.580
Prior to the statement,
the president will telephone
1332
01:38:35.600 --> 01:38:37.327
each of the widows-to-be.
1333
01:38:37.329 --> 01:38:39.461
A clergyman will adopt
the same procedure
1334
01:38:39.463 --> 01:38:41.998
as a burial at sea,
1335
01:38:42.000 --> 01:38:46.338
commending their souls
to the deepest of the deep.
1336
01:38:47.472 --> 01:38:49.341
Any thoughts?
1337
01:38:50.910 --> 01:38:52.511
Sounds fine.
1338
01:42:21.155 --> 01:42:23.723
T-minus
two minutes and counting.
1339
01:42:40.675 --> 01:42:44.177
20 seconds and counting.
1340
01:42:44.179 --> 01:42:46.179
T-minus 15 seconds.
1341
01:42:46.181 --> 01:42:48.181
Guidance is internal.
1342
01:42:48.183 --> 01:42:49.883
12, 11,
1343
01:42:49.885 --> 01:42:51.884
ten, nine...
1344
01:42:51.886 --> 01:42:53.887
Ignition sequence start.
1345
01:43:59.722 --> 01:44:01.724
Tower cleared.
1346
01:45:00.151 --> 01:45:02.783
Mark. Mode One Charlie.
1347
01:45:02.785 --> 01:45:04.854
Houston,
you are a go for staging.
1348
01:45:30.981 --> 01:45:33.148
This is Apollo Control.
1349
01:45:33.150 --> 01:45:37.786
We're a minute from ignition on
translunar injection maneuver.
1350
01:45:37.788 --> 01:45:40.222
Okay, we're operate 59:59.
1351
01:45:55.140 --> 01:45:57.272
Apollo 11, we track your speed
1352
01:45:57.274 --> 01:46:00.210
increasing
to 36,000 feet per second.
1353
01:46:00.212 --> 01:46:02.844
You are now leaving
Earth orbit.
1354
01:46:02.846 --> 01:46:04.316
Apollo 11. Roger.
1355
01:46:13.425 --> 01:46:14.890
We have cutoff.
1356
01:46:14.892 --> 01:46:16.792
Uh, roger, 11.
1357
01:46:16.794 --> 01:46:19.128
Well, it certainly looks like
you're well on your way now.
1358
01:46:19.130 --> 01:46:21.130
Okay, Houston,
we're about to SEP.
1359
01:46:21.132 --> 01:46:22.532
Mike, you got it?
1360
01:46:22.534 --> 01:46:24.535
It's your ship now.
1361
01:46:59.372 --> 01:47:02.905
And you can start PTC
at your convenience.
1362
01:47:02.907 --> 01:47:05.110
All right, thank you, Houston.
1363
01:47:12.952 --> 01:47:14.452
That smells funny.
1364
01:47:14.454 --> 01:47:16.955
Like, uh, charred
electrical insulation.
1365
01:47:18.570 --> 01:47:20.259
Might just be rocket fumes.
1366
01:47:22.194 --> 01:47:24.530
- Did you bring any music?
- No.
1367
01:47:26.132 --> 01:47:27.500
Here, Buzz.
1368
01:47:48.254 --> 01:47:50.255
Hey, Houston,
are you hearing this?
1369
01:49:01.696 --> 01:49:04.329
Apollo 11,
now entering lunar orbit.
1370
01:49:04.331 --> 01:49:06.265
Your roll should give you
a good view
1371
01:49:06.267 --> 01:49:08.566
in about two minutes. Over.
1372
01:49:08.568 --> 01:49:11.269
When you have a
free minute, could you give us
1373
01:49:11.271 --> 01:49:14.740
your onboard readout
of N2 tank Bravo, please?
1374
01:49:14.742 --> 01:49:17.510
Nitrogen tank Bravo are showing
1375
01:49:17.512 --> 01:49:19.712
19-60, something like that.
1376
01:49:19.714 --> 01:49:21.516
Roger.
1377
01:50:11.165 --> 01:50:13.435
Would you look at that.
1378
01:50:38.227 --> 01:50:39.593
This is a damn
three-ring circus.
1379
01:50:39.595 --> 01:50:41.561
I got a fuel cell purge
in progress,
1380
01:50:41.563 --> 01:50:43.330
I'm watching
an auto maneuver and...
1381
01:50:43.332 --> 01:50:44.831
Jesus Christ.
1382
01:50:44.833 --> 01:50:47.670
Normal, normal.
1383
01:50:47.690 --> 01:50:49.804
Houston, stand by
for auto alarm.
1384
01:50:49.806 --> 01:50:51.838
Neil, the, uh...
the voice tape recorder,
1385
01:50:51.840 --> 01:50:53.273
- you know where that is?
- I don't know.
1386
01:50:53.275 --> 01:50:54.574
All this food
and stuff up here,
1387
01:50:54.576 --> 01:50:56.743
- you want any of that?
- No.
1388
01:50:56.745 --> 01:50:59.379
All right.
What about this chewing gum?
1389
01:50:59.381 --> 01:51:01.248
You want any of that?
1390
01:51:01.250 --> 01:51:02.718
Mike.
1391
01:51:06.321 --> 01:51:08.190
Come back, will you?
1392
01:51:09.625 --> 01:51:12.460
Apollo 11, Houston.
1393
01:51:12.462 --> 01:51:14.628
Let us know when
you've entered the LEM,
1394
01:51:14.630 --> 01:51:16.565
closed up the hatch. Over.
1395
01:51:29.244 --> 01:51:31.112
Eagle, this is, uh, Houston.
1396
01:51:31.114 --> 01:51:32.780
We see the optics
zero switch on.
1397
01:51:32.782 --> 01:51:35.516
Uh, before you take some marks,
uh, don't forget
1398
01:51:35.518 --> 01:51:38.287
to cycle it back off and on,
and then on. Over.
1399
01:51:44.661 --> 01:51:46.761
Eagle, Houston,
could you give us a hack
1400
01:51:46.763 --> 01:51:49.397
on, uh, the time
that you switched to LEM power
1401
01:51:49.399 --> 01:51:53.703
and also verify that
we're on Glycol Pump One. Over.
1402
01:51:55.305 --> 01:51:57.738
This is Eagle.
We're on Pump One.
1403
01:51:57.740 --> 01:51:59.774
- Roger.
- Eagle, Columbia.
1404
01:51:59.776 --> 01:52:01.877
All 12 docking latches
are cocked.
1405
01:52:01.879 --> 01:52:04.478
- I'm ready to button up the hatch.
- Roger.
1406
01:52:04.480 --> 01:52:06.748
I'm gonna start a maneuver now
1407
01:52:06.750 --> 01:52:08.685
to our undocking attitude.
1408
01:52:09.752 --> 01:52:11.387
Okay.
1409
01:52:33.543 --> 01:52:35.944
How about using
as an undocking time
1410
01:52:35.946 --> 01:52:38.847
a hundred hours and 12 minutes?
1411
01:52:38.849 --> 01:52:41.883
- What have you got for AOS?
- I have a hundred hours
1412
01:52:41.885 --> 01:52:44.485
and 16 minutes.
1413
01:52:44.487 --> 01:52:45.821
Eagle,
1414
01:52:45.823 --> 01:52:47.756
keep an eye on
your descent engine fuel.
1415
01:52:47.758 --> 01:52:51.258
Continuous burn time is limited
to 910 seconds.
1416
01:52:51.260 --> 01:52:54.596
Over.
1417
01:52:54.598 --> 01:52:57.701
Apollo 11, Houston.
We are go for undocking. Over.
1418
01:53:09.947 --> 01:53:12.884
15 seconds.
1419
01:53:18.690 --> 01:53:21.223
Okay, there you go.
1420
01:53:46.584 --> 01:53:49.180
Eagle, Houston.
We see you on the steerable.
1421
01:53:49.200 --> 01:53:51.319
- Over.
- The Eagle is undocked.
1422
01:53:51.321 --> 01:53:53.255
Roger. How does it look?
1423
01:53:53.257 --> 01:53:54.924
The Eagle has wings.
1424
01:54:29.829 --> 01:54:31.764
It just won't stay.
1425
01:54:33.798 --> 01:54:35.899
Eagle, report status. Over.
1426
01:54:35.901 --> 01:54:37.568
We'll have to tell them
about that.
1427
01:54:37.570 --> 01:54:40.470
Let's prep for descent.
1428
01:54:40.472 --> 01:54:41.772
Eagle, Houston.
1429
01:54:41.774 --> 01:54:43.474
You're a go
for powered descent.
1430
01:54:43.476 --> 01:54:45.675
Roger. Read you.
1431
01:54:50.820 --> 01:54:52.918
Altitude light's on.
We don't have radar data.
1432
01:54:58.557 --> 01:55:00.760
Let's proceed.
1433
01:55:02.360 --> 01:55:03.927
Proceed.
1434
01:55:03.929 --> 01:55:05.696
One.
1435
01:55:05.698 --> 01:55:07.397
Zero.
1436
01:55:07.399 --> 01:55:08.631
Ignition.
1437
01:55:17.943 --> 01:55:20.978
Program alarm.
1438
01:55:20.980 --> 01:55:24.681
- What's a 1202 alarm?
- I don't know.
1439
01:55:24.683 --> 01:55:28.850
Houston, give us a reading
on the 1202 program alarm.
1440
01:55:28.870 --> 01:55:30.354
Roger, we got you.
We're a go on that alarm.
1441
01:55:36.595 --> 01:55:37.962
Same alarm.
1442
01:55:37.964 --> 01:55:39.963
Roger.
We're a go on that alarm.
1443
01:56:05.250 --> 01:56:08.960
- Okay, 3,000 at 70.
- Roger. Understand.
1444
01:56:08.962 --> 01:56:11.129
Program alarm. 1201.
1445
01:56:11.131 --> 01:56:13.600
Roger. 1201 alarm.
1446
01:56:17.504 --> 01:56:20.372
Same type. We're a go.
1447
01:56:52.472 --> 01:56:54.407
Pretty rocky area.
1448
01:56:57.711 --> 01:57:00.546
Those boulders are
as big as cars.
1449
01:57:00.548 --> 01:57:01.916
We can't land there.
1450
01:57:09.857 --> 01:57:11.792
Go into manual.
1451
01:57:23.400 --> 01:57:25.205
540 feet down to 30.
1452
01:57:25.207 --> 01:57:27.505
Watch your fuel.
1453
01:57:27.507 --> 01:57:29.942
330.
1454
01:57:29.944 --> 01:57:31.946
300 feet,
down three and a half.
1455
01:57:37.185 --> 01:57:38.451
Fuel's at eight percent.
1456
01:57:42.523 --> 01:57:45.190
Radar's lost track of the surface again.
1457
01:57:45.192 --> 01:57:48.627
160 feet, six and a half down.
1458
01:57:48.629 --> 01:57:51.432
Five and a half down,
nine forward.
1459
01:57:54.870 --> 01:57:58.570
Low level. Low level.
1460
01:57:58.572 --> 01:57:59.839
120 feet.
1461
01:57:59.841 --> 01:58:02.841
Five percent fuel remaining.
1462
01:58:02.843 --> 01:58:05.812
Quantity light.
1463
01:58:05.814 --> 01:58:07.614
94 seconds to bingo.
1464
01:58:07.616 --> 01:58:09.784
114's a mandatory abort.
1465
01:58:14.655 --> 01:58:17.190
Down a half. Six forward.
1466
01:58:17.192 --> 01:58:19.590
Stand by for 60. Roger.
1467
01:58:19.610 --> 01:58:22.280
60 seconds.
1468
01:58:22.300 --> 01:58:23.632
40 feet, down two and a half.
1469
01:58:29.705 --> 01:58:31.710
Stand by for 30.
1470
01:58:31.730 --> 01:58:32.705
- 30 seconds.
- Forward.
1471
01:58:36.212 --> 01:58:38.479
20 feet, down a half.
1472
01:58:44.886 --> 01:58:46.252
Faint shadow.
Drifting forward,
1473
01:58:46.254 --> 01:58:48.910
just a little bit.
1474
01:59:19.322 --> 01:59:21.355
Contact light.
1475
01:59:22.959 --> 01:59:24.894
Shutdown.
1476
01:59:35.938 --> 01:59:38.107
We copy you down, Eagle.
1477
01:59:42.110 --> 01:59:44.145
Houston...
1478
01:59:44.147 --> 01:59:46.820
Tranquility Base here.
1479
01:59:48.151 --> 01:59:50.683
The Eagle has landed.
1480
01:59:50.685 --> 01:59:52.620
Roger, Tranq... Tranquility.
1481
01:59:52.622 --> 01:59:53.954
We copy you on the ground.
1482
01:59:53.956 --> 01:59:56.190
You got a bunch of guys
about to turn blue.
1483
01:59:56.192 --> 01:59:58.161
We're breathing again.
Thanks a lot.
1484
02:00:00.297 --> 02:00:02.980
Thank you.
1485
02:00:05.235 --> 02:00:07.637
Very smooth touchdown.
1486
02:01:55.347 --> 02:01:57.790
Okay, Neil,
1487
02:01:57.810 --> 02:02:00.820
we can see you
coming down the ladder now.
1488
02:02:10.610 --> 02:02:11.928
Okay, I just checked.
1489
02:02:11.930 --> 02:02:16.201
Uh, coming back up to that
first step, Buzz, it's, uh...
1490
02:02:18.270 --> 02:02:20.336
The strut
hasn't collapsed too far,
1491
02:02:20.338 --> 02:02:22.506
but, uh, it's adequate
to get back up.
1492
02:02:22.508 --> 02:02:24.740
Roger. We copy.
1493
02:02:24.760 --> 02:02:26.411
Takes a pretty good
little jump.
1494
02:02:43.195 --> 02:02:45.495
Uh, Buzz, this is Houston.
1495
02:02:45.497 --> 02:02:49.366
F-two, one 160th second
for shadow photography
1496
02:02:49.368 --> 02:02:51.370
on the sequence camera.
1497
02:02:52.805 --> 02:02:54.240
Okay.
1498
02:02:57.443 --> 02:03:00.310
I'm, uh,
at the foot of the ladder.
1499
02:03:00.312 --> 02:03:03.513
The LEM footpads
are only, uh...
1500
02:03:03.515 --> 02:03:06.451
uh, depressed in the surface
1501
02:03:06.453 --> 02:03:09.386
about, uh, one or two inches.
1502
02:03:09.388 --> 02:03:14.157
Although the surface
appears to be, uh,
1503
02:03:14.159 --> 02:03:17.270
very, very fine-grained
as you get close to it.
1504
02:03:17.290 --> 02:03:20.497
It's almost like a powder
down there.
1505
02:03:20.499 --> 02:03:22.301
Uh, very fine.
1506
02:03:31.344 --> 02:03:34.213
I'm gonna step off the LEM now.
1507
02:03:45.124 --> 02:03:47.793
That's one small step
for man...
1508
02:03:50.290 --> 02:03:53.199
...one giant leap for mankind.
1509
02:05:23.190 --> 02:05:26.570
Okay, you ready
for me to come out?
1510
02:08:46.496 --> 02:08:49.664
Five, four, three,
1511
02:08:49.666 --> 02:08:51.566
two, one.
1512
02:08:51.568 --> 02:08:52.902
Ignition.
1513
02:09:01.745 --> 02:09:03.779
...I suppose they can
1514
02:09:03.781 --> 02:09:05.948
never really, uh,
describe to us.
1515
02:09:05.950 --> 02:09:07.382
So we'll never know.
1516
02:09:07.384 --> 02:09:10.553
And it may not be
a beauty that one can pass on
1517
02:09:10.555 --> 02:09:12.355
to future beholders, either.
1518
02:09:12.357 --> 02:09:15.190
These first men on the Moon
have seen something
1519
02:09:15.192 --> 02:09:18.327
that men who follow
will have missed.
1520
02:09:18.329 --> 02:09:20.462
They've peered
into another life
1521
02:09:20.464 --> 02:09:22.965
that, uh, we can't follow.
1522
02:09:22.967 --> 02:09:25.200
Bob Simon at Trafalgar Square,
1523
02:09:25.202 --> 02:09:26.902
where he joined the thousands
1524
02:09:26.904 --> 02:09:29.305
who watched an immense
television screen
1525
02:09:29.307 --> 02:09:31.539
as the Apollo touched down
on the Moon.
1526
02:09:31.541 --> 02:09:33.643
The average
Romanian thinks of Apollo 11
1527
02:09:33.645 --> 02:09:35.946
a little bit
as his own personal adventure.
1528
02:09:35.948 --> 02:09:38.380
It's been estimated
that the audience
1529
02:09:38.382 --> 02:09:40.316
was up in the hundreds
of millions.
1530
02:09:40.318 --> 02:09:43.786
Perhaps 400 million persons
or so watching this broadcast.
1531
02:09:43.788 --> 02:09:45.521
Countless millions more
1532
02:09:45.523 --> 02:09:47.757
listened on the radio
to the voices from the Moon.
1533
02:09:47.759 --> 02:09:50.326
Never before had so many people
1534
02:09:50.328 --> 02:09:52.495
been attuned to one event
at one time.
1535
02:09:54.499 --> 02:09:56.899
...is on the Moon. Of course...
1536
02:09:56.901 --> 02:09:58.668
...feats of all time.
1537
02:09:58.670 --> 02:10:00.671
Does it amaze you
that it's taken place?
1538
02:10:00.673 --> 02:10:02.538
It not only amazes me,
but I'm certain
1539
02:10:02.540 --> 02:10:03.907
that it amazes everybody
in this country.
1540
02:10:03.909 --> 02:10:06.900
What do you think of it?
1541
02:10:06.110 --> 02:10:07.710
Well, the Moon, I hope...
1542
02:10:07.712 --> 02:10:09.378
that sometime everybody
will go there.
1543
02:10:09.380 --> 02:10:10.647
- Want to go yourself?
- Oh, yeah.
1544
02:10:10.649 --> 02:10:12.150
I wish I can go right now.
1545
02:10:12.170 --> 02:10:14.483
I think this
is a very important day.
1546
02:10:14.485 --> 02:10:17.754
It's a historical day for...
and the whole universe
1547
02:10:17.756 --> 02:10:19.822
is concerned about this,
the landing on the Moon.
1548
02:10:19.824 --> 02:10:21.624
And as a French woman,
1549
02:10:21.626 --> 02:10:23.860
- how do you think about it?
- Oh, I think it's wonderful.
1550
02:10:23.862 --> 02:10:26.429
I always trusted America,
and I knew they couldn't fail.
1551
02:10:26.431 --> 02:10:27.898
And in Washington,
1552
02:10:27.900 --> 02:10:30.330
an anonymous citizen
placed a small bouquet
1553
02:10:30.350 --> 02:10:33.300
on the grave of John F. Kennedy
with a note:
1554
02:10:33.500 --> 02:10:36.600
"Mr. President,
the Eagle has landed."
1555
02:10:36.800 --> 02:10:40.343
And indeed on this day, as we
mark the astronauts' return,
1556
02:10:40.345 --> 02:10:42.679
it's hard not to think back
upon that speech
1557
02:10:42.681 --> 02:10:45.849
our 35th president gave
just seven short years ago.
1558
02:10:45.851 --> 02:10:48.685
If this capsule
history of our progress
1559
02:10:48.687 --> 02:10:51.755
teaches us anything,
it is that man,
1560
02:10:51.757 --> 02:10:53.657
in his quest for knowledge
and progress,
1561
02:10:53.659 --> 02:10:57.270
is determined
and cannot be deterred.
1562
02:10:57.290 --> 02:10:59.563
But why, some say, the Moon?
1563
02:10:59.565 --> 02:11:02.733
Why choose this as our goal?
1564
02:11:02.735 --> 02:11:06.904
And they may well ask,
why climb the highest mountain?
1565
02:11:06.906 --> 02:11:10.842
Why, 35 years ago,
fly the Atlantic?
1566
02:11:10.844 --> 02:11:13.376
Why does Rice play Texas?
1567
02:11:13.378 --> 02:11:15.679
We choose to go to the Moon.
1568
02:11:15.681 --> 02:11:20.350
We choose to go to the Moon...
1569
02:11:20.352 --> 02:11:23.200
We choose to go to the Moon
in this decade
1570
02:11:23.220 --> 02:11:24.822
and do the other things,
1571
02:11:24.824 --> 02:11:28.760
not because they are easy,
but because they are hard.
1572
02:11:32.731 --> 02:11:34.968
How do you feel?
1573
02:11:36.903 --> 02:11:38.337
How happy are you?
1574
02:11:39.706 --> 02:11:41.506
Have you spoken
with your husband?
1575
02:11:41.508 --> 02:11:43.808
Would your sons like to be
astronauts like him?
1576
02:11:43.810 --> 02:11:45.420
Mrs. Armstrong.
1577
02:11:45.440 --> 02:11:46.978
Ha-Have all your prayers
been answered?
1578
02:11:46.980 --> 02:11:48.579
Yes, yes, they have.
1579
02:11:48.581 --> 02:11:50.982
How would you describe
the flight?
1580
02:11:50.984 --> 02:11:55.653
Well, uh, I can only say
it was, uh, out of this world.
1581
02:11:56.956 --> 02:11:58.358
Thank you.
1582
02:11:59.960 --> 02:12:01.926
They will be quarantined
the full three weeks,
1583
02:12:01.928 --> 02:12:03.930
but there is no sign
of infection or disease.
1584
02:12:07.133 --> 02:12:09.680
Congratulations, Jan.
1585
02:19:45.832 --> 02:19:47.499
Go ahead.
1586
02:19:47.501 --> 02:19:49.934
Roger. Node.
1587
02:19:49.936 --> 02:19:52.300
