All language subtitles for From the Earth to the Moon s01e10 right.eng

Along with the physical demands made
on those who fly into space...

other more particular demands were made
of the men who went to the moon.

They not only had to have the acumen
of pilots and engineers...

they also had to have
knowledge and practice...

as physicists,
astronomers, geologists...

and, if possible,
as historians...

and even poets and artists.

The reasons to demand such disciplines
of the astronauts was simple--

You will find no better record
of what it is like to be on the moon...

than in the experiences
and recollections...

of the men who went there.

If God is found
in the details of our world...

then the details must be
discovered and interpreted...

by the men who make the voyage...

from the Earth to the moon.

Here's another one of the same stuff.

Why don't you get a sample of the soil.
Let me take a picture.

- Okay.
- Just scoop in between them.

Yes, sir.

I think this is a big frag here.
The part that it hit.

These pieces are roughly the same.

Not much soil here really.

There really isn't.

Is it your impression you're sampling on
the ejecta blanket of spur crater now?

Yeah, Joe. Probably from the deepest
part because we're on the rim.

- Sounds good.
- Would you agree with that, Jim?

Yeah.

Okay, let's go down and--

- Get the unusual one?
- Get the unusual one.

There's another unusual one.

Look at the little crater here,
the one that's facing us.

There is a little white corner
to the thing.

Okay, Dave, get as many
of those as you can.

You might be watching for a place where
you think the rake might help you.

Yeah, I think we could probably
do a rake here, Joe.

Okay. Sounds like a good place.

There's a big boulder
over there down sun of us...

that I'm sure you can see,
which is gray.

There's some very outstanding
gray clasts and white clasts.

Oh, boy, it's a beaut.

We're gonna get ahold
of that one in a minute.

Okay, I have my pictures, Dave.

Let's see. What do you think
the best way to sample it would be?

I think probably to break up
a piece of clod underneath it.

Or I guess you could probably
lift that top fragment right off.

Let me try.

Yeah, sure can,
and it's a white clast.

It's about-- Oh, man.

Oh, boy. I got--

- Look at that.
- Look at that glint.

Oh, boy.

- Almost see twinning in there.
- Guess what we just found.

The xenolith is
an aggregate of rocks...

formed as slow-cooling crystals
at great depth...

and brought to the surface by impact
or a volcanic eruption.

When silica content is low
in plutonic magma...

a cyanide-like rock
is likely to be formed...

thus producing a feldspathoid.

The third axis is minute.

A thorough examination of its twinning
will confirm this is plagioclace...

thus producing a feldspathoid.

Is this what you had to sit through
for eight years?

They're not all like this.

Low-silicon environments are perfect
nurseries for nepheline, sodalite...

- hackmanite--
- No, that is not true.

I have nothing against Dr. Pemberton
personally or any of his teachers.

- It's just time to step things up.
- Now the classroom time isn't enough?

It's hard for me
to get that approved.

We appreciate it, Deke.
I agree things are not perfect.

- I think we have a good system in place.
-You do?

Yes, I do.

I think that the astronauts
have to take some responsibility.

Your colleagues--
no offense, Deke--

are just pilots.

They're great pilots,
the best in the world...

but they don't have
scientific minds.

- So they're a lost cause?
- Let me back up.

Some of them show great promise.

But we haven't had
a commander yet...

who really took the lead
in this area.

What's your idea, Jack?

Find a teacher...

who can bring out
the scientific mind in all of them.

Professor?

Professor Silver?

- Lee, you up there?
- Who's that down there?

It's Jack Schmitt, Professor.

- Jack Schmitt.
- Yeah.

I had a student
named Harrison Schmitt once.

Promising young field geologist.
Pity he didn't decide to pursue it.

Yeah, I know.
He got himself a little sidetracked.

Come on up here, Jack Schmitt.

Thank you.

Tell me, my little friend...

where did you acquire
such interesting garnet?

- What do you make of this?
- Granite.

Mm-hmm. And the far side?

Green grains.

- Olivine?
- Which is unlikely.

But what a mystery
to ponder, no?

What a journey that little xenolith
must have taken.

Professor, I've come
to offer you a challenge.

Uh-oh.

I want you to help train
the astronauts...

to be field observers.

You must be desperate.
I'm not a lunar geologist.

Have they all resigned
in protest?

I realize that NASA hasn't been exactly
popular within the scientific community.

True, although they did
hire you, didn't they?

Yes.

But what are they doing with you?

I'm backup
on the Apollo 15 crew...

and I stand a decent shot at flying
on Apollo 18, or so they tell me.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Until Apollo 18, may I recommend
robots for gathering samples?

Cheaper, safer...

and the good ones
have very small egos.

My colleagues are serious.
They're motivated and very smart.

Now, we have people
to teach them the moon.

What they need is to learn
how to really see it.

You can give them that.

I'm flattered, Jack,
but I already have a job.

Full-time.

I do wish you the best, though.

It's a real pleasure
seeing you again.

- Thanks.
- Good luck.

- But what if you found one of these?
- What?

What if you taught an astronaut
how to find one of these on the moon?

What a journey that little rock
would have taken.

Let me put it this way:
Doing field geology...

is like solving the mystery
of the dead cat.

If you bring me a dead cat, all I can
tell you is it's dead, and it's a cat.

But if you hand me a dead cat...

and you tell me you found it
in the middle of the road--

ha-- what killed it?

- Car?
- Truck?

Heat exhaustion.

Now you're getting it. Okay.

You find a dead cat in the kitchen
of your favorite restaurant.

- What killed it?
- The chef?

What are we talking about here, Jack?

- Context.
- Context?

The difference between
roadkill and a meal.

The Orocopias, gentlemen.

This is Disneyland
to a field geologist.

Up here,
it's all about context.

Jack, you've been through this before,
so you need to keep quiet.

Jim, tell me about that.

- What?
- Just start with what you see.

- Granite.
- Good.

- Which is an igneous rock.
- Right.

Now, what do you think
would make it smooth like that?

- Water.
- Could be. Most likely.

But we don't really know yet.
Let's look around.

I don't see any granite here.

Not exposed, anyway.

So, do you think
that rock came from here?

- No, I guess not.
- Okay, toss him back to me.

Just a rock, the kind you'd kick
without giving it a second glance.

Where did you come from,
my little friend?

Huh?

Back this way.

Come on, Dave. Don't worry.
I'll try not to waste your time.

- I know you're busy men.
- Come on, buddy.

Okay, this is a painting.

Not the Mona Lisa,
but for us it's just as compelling.

There's a story here...

about what happened
to this area.

- You recognize this, Jim?
- Granite again?

Yup. And where
does granite get made?

Down below, slowly.

Very slowly, like a big soup.

The kind my mother would make.

Which is why we didn't have
many dinner guests in our home.

But gosh, if granite
gets made way down below...

how the heck did it get here?

Uplift, and transported
down the river wash.

The same kind of uplift that created
the Rocky Mountains and Himalayas.

Now look at this.
More uplift.

Where did this come from?

These layers, broken off...

tilted in different directions.

This isn't the same kind
of uplift...

that created our granite here.

Not even close.

Something happened.

Something big.

You see the story yet?

It's all pretty much here...

in a language you can't yet understand,
but it's here.

A tale of upheaval...

and battles won and lost.

Gothic tales of sweeping change...

peaceful times...

and then great trauma again.

And it all connects
to our little friend.

That's what we are,
we geologists.

Storytellers...

interpreters, actually.

That's what you gentlemen
are going to become.

And how does this relate
to the moon?

From 240,000 miles away...

you have to give...

the most complete possible description
of what you're seeing.

Not just which rocks
you plan to bring back...

but their context.

That and knowing which ones
to pick up in the first place...

is what might separate you guys
from those little robots.

You know, the ones some jaded soul
thinks should have your job.

You see, you have to become
our eyes and ears...

out there.

And for you to do that...

you first have to
learn the language...

of this little rock here.

Ever since Galileo
and his telescope...

the moon has been getting
closer and closer.

And now that men like yourselves
are actually walking around up there...

we're getting more familiar
with its surface characteristics.

But we still haven't answered
the big question.

How did it get up there?

Maybe billions of years ago,
just as the Earth was forming...

a big blob of its original
molten core...

spun itself off
as a kind of daughter planet.

Or maybe the moon
is more like a sister...

formed alongside the Earth...

out of the same magical dust.

Or perhaps...

a big old stray asteroid
made the mistake...

of wandering a bit too close
to our gravitational influence...

and doomed itself
to circle us for all eternity...

like some faithful dog.

Thanks to the data coming out
of NASA over the last five years...

we have some idea
of the moon's age...

and its chemical composition.

But as for its genesis...

we're still in the dark.

Maybe Apollo 15
will shed some light.

Gentlemen,
I must catch some shuteye.

Sleep well.

What are you grinnin' at?

Hello? Mr. El-Baz?

Lieutenant Colonel!
Mr. Alfred Worden.

Farouk El-Baz.

I've been expecting you.

Have you ever seen
the inside of a human brain?

I'll show you mine. Come.

By the time you reach
the lunar orbit...

your brain should look
much the same.

This, Colonel Worden...

is what the inside
of my brain looks like.

Crater Alphonsus.

Dark halo craters, narrow rilles.

Suspected volcanic eruptions.
Important word: "suspected."

You will tell us for sure.

Schroter's Valley,
maybe formed by lava flow.

Tranquility Base.
Perhaps you've heard of it.

Mostly just a bunch of bumps,
squiggles and circles to me.

You will learn.

Don't worry.
I won't leave your side.

Perfect.

The crater Theopholis.

Now, how far out
into the ejecta blanket...

does the hummocky area extend?

Oh, boy.

I'm lost.

Imagine it here.

While your crew mates are down,
digging into the lunar surface...

you will be floating high up,
seeing how all the pieces fit together.

Do you see?

I'm not sure.

Two hundred and forty
kilometers east.

Forty-six kilometers
from the surface.

This rille
is seven kilometers wide.

Now, how deep is this crater?

- About 3,000 feet.
- Yes!

Colonel Worden, you are gonna
make a brilliant student.

Call me Al.

Now, we can...

if we're very clever,
we can figure out...

a lot about an area like this
by putting together...

what we call "the suite."

What the hell is he talking about?
The suite.

I'm talking about
a dozen hand-sized rocks...

that tell the story
of this place...

in all of its diversity...

from the typical...

right to the exotic.

You got ten minutes.

Thought you could escape me, huh?

You got it, Jimmy?

I'm getting there.
How about you?

Yeah, I think so.

Don't look so sure.

I'm feeling good.

I would be nervous
if I was you.

Oh, I'm nervous, Jimmy.
I'm real nervous.

Oh, yeah. Good.

It's a pretty decent collection,
Dick.

You know what to look for
next time, right?

- Good Lord.
- Well.

Let's see what you guys have got.

You first, Jimbo.

Okay.

Not...

bad.

Uh-huh. Yeah. All right.

Fine. Good...

first try.

Interesting.

Jack, let's see what you found.

How sweet it is.

Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm.

Wow.

I thought the twinning
on that one was pretty distinctive.

How about that?

- You don't see much of that here.
- I was surprised.

Well done. Good diversity.

Tells the story.

- Heard any more, Dave?
- Just what I told you.

Some mission's been cancelled,
and Deke wants to see us.

Here we go.

Hey, guys, come on in.

We knew that cutbacks were inevitable,
that Congress might cut us short.

Well, they've done it.

The Apollo 15 mission as we know it
has been scrubbed.

We're moving straight
into the "J" Missions...

which, as you know, mean
longer stays on the surface...

an upgraded LEM,
better suits and backpacks...

and ultimately more science.

And of course, the lunar rover.

There's one going
with the next flight.

I want you two
to be the first to drive it.

Apollo 15 will be
the first "J" Mission.

I've pushed back all the crews
to accommodate the switch.

You're going to need
a lot more training time.

I don't know how you'll fit it in,
but we'll give you the support you need.

We'll make it work.

So, you'll have Apollo 15...

and that'll be followed
by 16 and 17.

But that's it.

They've cancelled
Apollo 18 and 19.

Okay, guys.

Bad luck, Jack.

Are you kidding?

That makes what we're doing
that much more important.

We're inventing
a whole new science here.

Lunar field geology.

And we'll need to work it out together.

Time is everything, gentlemen.

And preparation
is the key to success.

So when we're confronted
with a new survey site...

what do we do?

We go to the highest place
we can find...

and figure out the big picture.

Quickly.

That mound...

that's where the LEM
just landed.

Dave, head on up there.
Tell me what you see.

What I need you to do is sketch out
what Dave is describing...

and then it'll be your turn.

Okay, Houston.
The albatross has landed.

Dave, start with the twelve o'clock...

work your way around,
tell us what you see.

Well, let's see.

My twelve o'clock is--

A bunch of layers
on the far wall of the canyon.

To the right,
there's a lot of dirt...

with green stuff sloping down.

Over to my right is a large--
well, it's a huge--

No, no, it's like...

a huge breccia-like boulder...

right in the side of the wall.

At my three o'clock,
there's a...

layer of rock about...

one quarter up
from the bottom of the wall.

I don't think so.

At my four o'clock...

is a large block of granite
on the top of the hill...

which contains at least...

four vertical dikes...

protruding out to the uplift.

Okay.

At my six o'clock, open end
of the canyon, there's a ridge--

Okay, Houston, at my nine o'clock
is a thick layer...

of uniform, horizontal beds.

Middle ground sloping to the right.

Superimposed over a variety of about
20 layers of light and dark material.

Looking down at my eight o'clock, the
range of mountains in the background.

About 20 degrees.

He's cookin'.

First of all, we have this idea for
a stand-up E.V.A. right after landing.

What's that?

Basically sticking my head out
of the LEM and having a look around.

- Why?
- To survey the site.

Geologically.

Okay, so we risk a fifth
cabin repressurization.

We spend money and manpower
on a revised checklist...

and procedures...

and we add weight
in the form of consumables...

all so we can add another
time-consuming item...

to a flight plan
and training schedule...

that's already filled
beyond capacity?

I think you'd see the value if you
joined us on a field trip sometime.

- I would, would l?
- Absolutely. You'd have a ball.

There's this really neat rake
that the professor devised.

It would help us
get a comprehensive suite...

of pebble-sized rocks
in the regolith.

We'd like another telephoto lens.

We're already at our weight limit.
You know that.

I've thought of that.
With the new, shorter rendezvous...

maybe we could trade
some abort propellant.

Abort propellant?

For a rake?

A rake and a lens.

There. The big picture.

You must tell me
the big picture first.

- Quickly!
- Basalt lava flows.

No, too specific.
The big picture first.

A cinder cone
with lots of lava.

From where is the lava flowing?

- Damn! I don't know.
- There is a breach in the cone.

Do you see?

- I can't.
- Of course not.

We passed it already.

All right.
Let's try again.

I'm the new guy here.

- We need you to weigh in on this.
- Gentlemen.

We are not leaving this room
or breaking for lunch...

until we agree on a landing site
for Apollo 15.

Now, then...

we have a deadlock between
Marius Hills on the one hand...

and Hadley Rille
in the Appenine Mountains on the other.

We have been barking over this bone
for six months now...

with absolutely no movement...

or, I might add, accommodation.

If we're going to launch in July,
we must know today.

Now, then,
let's start at the beginning.

Chet.

I stand by my position.
Marius Hills.

We should stick
with what we know.

We're just getting
equatorial landings down.

Fooling around with anything else,
in an area we don't even have pictures--

- What about the guidance trajectory?
- What about the propulsion system?

It is much more efficient.

I don't care about the new guidance
trajectory or propulsion system.

You know how big those mountains are?
Eighteen thousand feet.

That's right.

- Eighteen thousand feet.
- We're aware of that.

Trying to land among those peaks...

just scares the hell out of me.

- Why go where we've already gone?
- The moon's the moon.

How can you say that?
How can you say, "The moon's the moon?"

I don't believe it.

Now, look, samples
are what count, in my opinion.

Marius Hills presents
an adequately unique site...

for testing any
of the Genesis theories...

and it seems a safer landing site.

Dr. Pemberton,
the Appenines, first of all...

should be a great source
of deeper and older...

imbrium ejecta...

and we may even find
material there...

from the original lunar crust.

But it's huge.

How do you expect
the astronauts to explore...

such a wide, expansive site?

Well, Dave?

That's where the rover comes in.

Assuming that it's ready in time and
Hadley isn't covered with boulders...

as radar shows, which would render
the rover nonnavigable.

So you see, gentlemen...

Marius is so much
more reasonable a site.

Marius Hills is attractive...

only for its allegedly rare
volcanic rocks...

and for being the easy, safe choice.

Well, fine. Then we
might as well consider Tycho.

All right, let's consider it.

I got a list of reasons a mile long why
Tycho would make the ideal landing site.

Oh, come on, Jason.
That is just nuts.

Astronauts collecting enough regolith
to bury NASA headquarters--

- That's nuts.
- Gentlemen.

Gentlemen, we are getting
absolutely nowhere here.

In fact...

we are moving backward.

Gentlemen, it's getting late.

We still have this decision to make.

Marius Hills or Hadley Rille?

Help us out here, Dave.

You're the commander, and you
haven't said a word all day.

What do you think?

Let's see.

No offense, Chet, but we feel pretty
confident we can land at either site.

Dr. Pemberton, I'm one
who respects hedging bets.

But from what I've learned
in the field...

Hadley-Appenine with its complex variety
of features, both impact and volcanic...

is the best choice for putting together
a picture of how the moon came to be.

- It may be a little riskier.
- Not a little.

But also--

Also the Appenines
have something else.

Grandeur.

And I believe there's something
to be said for...

exploring beautiful places.

It's good for the spirit.

Then it's Hadley, gentlemen.

All right.

- Wait!
- One pass.

Let me see.

- There were 16 volcanos.
- Very good. Yes.

Oh, my God. It's perfect.

- Viewing angle?
- Thirty-four degrees.

Oh, my friend.

It will be as if I am going
to the moon myself.

God, I don't believe it.

Farouk, last night I had a dream,
and I actually saw it.

What did you see?

I'm orbiting around,
and I'm hit by a meteor shower.

I'm heading straight down
to a Tsiolkovsky Crater.

It's a lot deeper
than what the photo showed.

And when I reached
the moment of impact...

I'm cushioned
by this blanket of dust.

Volcanic dust.

And I'm okay.

What does that mean?

It means you are ready.

You know the moon
as you know your own planet.

You've become as crazy as me.

Right.

- Meteor crater!
- Brilliant.

Grand Canyon.

No kidding.

Hadley Rille,
my kind of place.

Flip the lights on,
if you would, Stan.

This will be our last...

visit together.

- Glad you could make it, Deke.
- I wouldn't have missed it.

I know. I'll miss you too.

Now, when you get up there,
you're going to see...

a lot of this.

- Basalt.
- Mm-hmm.

- You'll be seeing a lot of this.
- Breccia.

Breccia.

But while I have your attention
one last time...

I want to make a plea...

for this fellow here.

We really don't know what we're
going to find on the lunar surface.

Pete Conrad's car keys?

Maybe.

But what we'd really
like to find...

is this-- anorthosite.

It's important
because it may unlock...

a stack of mysteries...

about the origins of the moon.

Because if you find this...

you have probably found
a piece of the moon's...

primordial crust.

It would be a shame
if it was up there...

and we missed it.

Seven percent fuel. Fifteen and one.

Minus one. Ten feet.

Minus one. Contact.

Yes!

Okay, Houston, the Falcon
is on the plain at Hadley.

Roger, Falcon.

Okay, overhead hatch,
full open and latched.

Okay, coming full open.

Let's see if we can't give our friends
in the Geology Backroom...

something to get excited about.

I'm pulling myself
up through the hatch now.

Oh, boy, what a view.

What a view! Oh!
If the professor could see this.

All right, I'm looking
off here to the north.

I can see Pluton, Icarus.

I'm getting my camera out.
Start at my twelve o'clock position.

As I come out around
to Mount Hadley...

there are no sharp, jagged peaks
or large boulders anywhere.

Boy, the telephoto lens
is great for this.

To the eastern lineations
are layers dipping about 30 degrees.

There's one bright, fresh crater
right next to St. George...

on the eastern side,
which is almost white in albedo.

It's got an ejecta blanket
about a crater diameter away.

I tell you, this is really gonna
help us when we get out there.

Roger, Dave. lt sure will.

Endeavor, this is Houston.

You're at T-2 now.

Okay, Houston, ready for some words
on Tsiolkovsky Crater.

Great. We're listening.

First off...

the central peak
is a very large...

spur peak
on the south and east sides.

Getting blocky on the north side.

There appears to be some layering
visible on the south and west...

exposed scarp of the peak.

- You getting this?
- You're coming in loud and clear.

Loud and clear, my friend.

Okay. Give me a word any time.

- Okay, Dave.
- Ready?

Ready.

Okay, over the rail here.
Down she comes.

All righty. Everything looks
like it's in good shape.

Here we go.
Thataboy. A little more.

A little more. It's comin'.

- It's comin' okay.
- We're movin' forward, Joe.

Gotta get a feel for this thing.
It's nine miles an hour.

I can see I'm gonna have to
keep my eyes on the road.

I can maneuver pretty well.

I'm up a little rise.

There's no dust at all.

Steering is quite responsive,
even with only the rear steering.

There doesn't seem
to be much slip.

If you make a turn sharply,
it responds quite well.

Look at that.

There's a nice little
round one-meter crater.

Whoa!

Hang on. Feels like
we need seat belts, doesn't it?

Yeah, really do.
It's a buckin' bronco. Yeah, man.

Cut back on the power,
it keeps right on going.

I've got it to the floor here,
and we're up to 12.

Got this great suspension system
for this thing.

This is really
a rockin', rollin' ride.

There's an elongated depression here.

Got to get to our drill site.

I'm pushing,
but the damn thing's bottomed out.

Look, we're not gonna get it out.

Let me give you a hand, Dave.
We'll get this drill out.

I don't know what we've hit here,
but this thing is really stuck.

All right, Dave. Here we go.

You ready?

One, two...

three.

Damn.

Dave, let's take a breather.

We want you to break it loose,
and let the stem and the drill...

sit in the surface.

We'll come back
and pull it out later.

- Let me finish it off, Joe.
- Dave, Jim.

We want you to end your tasks here.
We want you back on the rover, please.

Make sure they get back to the drilling
site first thing in the morning.

That's crazy.
We're gonna blow the north complex.

North complex was always a "maybe."
We need those deep core samples.

No, they can't get them out.

That's pretty obvious. Are you
gonna blow the whole E.V.A. on them?

If that's what it takes.

God, that was tough.

I never would have thought.
That drill didn't budge in an hour.

- Are you all right?
- I just need some water, that's all.

The darn line kinked up
in the suit.

Why didn't you say anything?

I didn't want to pull in the plug.

Get some water in you now.

Houston, Falcon.

Yeah, Falcon, this is Houston.
Go ahead.

Joe, we're heading back
to the site.

How long do you want us to work
on getting this drill out?

We're spending
a lot of time on this thing.

Tell me you really
want it this bad.

That's hard for me to say.

Stand by.
What's it gonna be, fellas?

We're cutting into the drive
to Hadley Rille.

- Let's forget this thing.
- That is not an option.

- Really, we can't mess that up.
- Just a second.

- You wouldn't recognize a basalt--
- How dare you?

Hey, we're wasting time.
Now, here's the thing.

I'd like nothing more
than to abandon the core...

- and get on with the observation.
- Absolutely.

But the fact is,
if we don't get that core out...

the whole world is gonna
look at it as a mission failure.

- But Lee--
- I don't think we can afford that.

So we're gonna give it a couple
more tries, and then move on.

Regardless. Fair enough?

Good. Tell them to keep trying.

Just go ahead
and give it one more try.

And then we want you
to continue on with the grand prix.

Good enough.
Let's put some muscle into it.

Yeah, Houston, I hope that freeze-dried
spinach we had for breakfast pays off.

- Dang it!
- Hang on.

This bit looks like
it's gonna break.

What the heck is this in anyway?

All right, I'm gonna
get down low and grab it.

Okay, hang on for a second.
I'm gonna get a better grip.

One, two, three.

Okay, troops.
Let's move on to the rille.

Roger that, Joe.

Okay, Houston,
we're moving to the second site.

The patterns of the landscape seem
consistent with photographs from 14.

I see a large concentration
of enormous boulders.

This one boulder's very angular.

It's got glass on one side,
with lots of bubbles.

Looks fairly recent.
Give me your hammer.

I can see several larger blocks
that rolled downslope.

They're angular, and they're
all the same color and texture.

I see the linear patterns
that Dave commented on before...

with the dip and everything.

Okay, eight kilometers up
a little rise.

- Look at this baby climb the hill.
- We're heading about 165 right now.

- This is the elbow right here.
- We're on the east rim.

There's a fragment here.

It's a rough surface texture.

It looks like a very fine-grain,
gray, rather solid frag.

Could this be rhesling here?

We're on the edge of the spur crater.

There's the usual basalt regolith
with a corona of light albedo ejecta.

Get the unusual one.

Oh, boy.

It's a beaut.

- It's a white clast.
- Oh, man, look at that.

I can almost see
twinning in there.

Guess what we just found.

I think we found
what we came for.

I think we found ourselves
some anorthosite.

That's it!

It's like being back
at the old San Gabriel mountains.

Roger, Dave.

Make this bag 196
a special bag.

Did you see that?

I doubt a random surface sample would
have ever pulled that out of a hat.

Really. Give me guys
in the field any day.

Yes, sir. That is science.

I stand corrected, Dr. Silver.

Ah, well...

I can't wait to get it home...

and see what you guys
can make of it.

We're trying to drive straight ahead
and stay on a fairly level contour.

We don't wanna go down.

Yeah, I think I'm going to park
right up here.

This would be a good picture
for Houston.

Joe, if you want to swing
the TV around here...

you're going to see
a spectacular place.

Boy, oh, boy.
Look at that rille.

How about that, geology fans?

I can see from up
at the top of the rille down...

there's debris all the way.

Looks like some outcrops
directly...

at about eleven o'clock
to the sun line.

Looks like a layer,
about five percent of the rille wall...

with a vertical face on it.

Beautiful, Dave. Beautiful.

As the space poet Rhesling
would say...

"We're ready for you
to come back again...

to the homes of men...

on the cool, green hills
of Earth."

Thank you, Joe.
We're ready too.

But it's been great.

I've noticed a very slight smile
on the face of the professor.

You very well may have passed
your final exam.

Well, we're glad to hear that.

You tell the professor that we
couldn't have done it without him.

Okay, Joe, if you can swing
the camera toward the LEM here.

Hope you have a good picture there.

Well, in my left hand
I have a feather.

In my right hand, a hammer.

I guess one of the reasons
we got here today...

was because of a gentleman
named Galileo a long time ago...

who made a rather
significant discovery...

about falling objects
and gravity fields.

We thought...

where would be a better place
to confirm his findings...

than on the moon.

And so, we thought
we'd try it here for you.

The feather happens to be,
appropriately, a falcon feather.

For our Falcon.

I'll drop the two of them here.

Hopefully, they'll hit the ground
at the same time.

How 'bout that?

That proves that Mr. Galileo
was correct in his findings.

Superb, Dave.

I always say: "There's nothing
like a little science on the moon."

Gentlemen.

- Proud of those boys.
- Brilliant management on your part.

- Joe.
- Dave and Jim...

we have a very special guest
with us right now...

if he'd care to say
a word or two.

Roger that, Joe.

You've done a lovely job.

You just don't know how we're
jumping up and down down here.

That's because I happen to have
a very good professor.

A whole bunch of them, Dave.

We sure appreciate everything you did
in getting us ready for this thing.

There's an awful lot
to be seen and done up there.

I'll bet.

We think you defined the first site
to be revisited on the moon.

I hope someday
we can get you up here too.

That would be...

an amazing adventure.

But I feel as if
I've already been there...

thanks to you.

Oh, you were with us, Professor...

every step of the way.

We went to the moon as trained observers
in order to gather data...

not only with
our instruments onboard...

but with our minds.

I'd like to quote a statement
from Plutarch...

which I think expresses our feelings
since we've come back.

"The mind is not a vessel
to be filled...

but a fire to be lighted."

That's it.

Wow.

Sample #15415.

They're calling it
the Genesis Rock.

It may be as old
as the solar system itself.

Since I was five years old...

all I ever wanted to be
was a pilot.

And flying to the moon...

seemed the ultimate adventure.

- Understand?
- I think I do.

Nothing seemed more important.

But finding this little fellow...

understanding what it represents,
what it can tell us...

will probably be the most
satisfying thing I'll ever do.

Well, I suspect there's
more to come from Dave Scott.

In the meantime, "Brought back
original crust of the moon"...

should weigh pretty impressively
in your resume.

You know?
