1
00:00:01,835 --> 00:00:03,417
- Hello, my name
is Buzz Aldrin.
2
00:00:03,545 --> 00:00:06,412
40 years ago, Neil Armstrong,
Michael Collins, and |
3
00:00:06,548 --> 00:00:08,755
made history as the first men
4
00:00:08,884 --> 00:00:11,421
on a mission
to land on the moon.
5
00:00:11,512 --> 00:00:13,924
Our eight-day journey
aboard Apollo 11
6
00:00:14,056 --> 00:00:16,343
was one of the most-watched
events ever,
7
00:00:16,433 --> 00:00:21,974
filmed in unprecedented detail,
recorded second by second.
8
00:00:22,105 --> 00:00:25,564
This is the story
of that mission, our training,
9
00:00:25,651 --> 00:00:27,858
and our lives
behind the scenes.
10
00:00:27,945 --> 00:00:31,279
Much is based on fact,
some scenes are imagined,
11
00:00:31,365 --> 00:00:33,982
but they're pretty much
how it was.
12
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:50,790
Marsters: In 1969,
three men changed the world.
13
00:00:53,136 --> 00:00:56,970
They flew to the moon aboard
the biggest rocket ever built.
14
00:01:00,102 --> 00:01:01,968
- This is Apollo Saturn
launch control
15
00:01:02,062 --> 00:01:03,928
aiming toward
our planned liftoff.
16
00:01:04,022 --> 00:01:06,855
It's 9:32 am.
Eastern Daylight.
17
00:01:06,984 --> 00:01:08,099
Marsters:
The mission
18
00:01:08,193 --> 00:01:10,730
was the most-watched event
in history,
19
00:01:10,821 --> 00:01:15,315
filmed in unprecedented detail,
recorded second by second.
20
00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:17,817
- All systems look good.
21
00:01:25,961 --> 00:01:28,373
Marsters: This is the story
of what was seen,
22
00:01:28,505 --> 00:01:29,961
what was said,
23
00:01:30,048 --> 00:01:31,664
and what might have happened
24
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:34,090
when the cameras
weren't running.
25
00:01:34,177 --> 00:01:35,713
- A short while ago,
Deke Slayton
26
00:01:35,846 --> 00:01:38,008
informed spacecraft commander
Neil Armstrong that,
27
00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:39,426
"We are doing quite well,
28
00:01:39,516 --> 00:01:41,723
in fact,
some 15 minutes ahead."
29
00:01:41,852 --> 00:01:43,809
Armstrong replied,
"That was fine,
30
00:01:43,895 --> 00:01:46,853
just as long as we don't launch
15 minutes early."
31
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:49,853
Marsters:
Some is documented fact,
32
00:01:49,943 --> 00:01:52,184
some dramatic license.
33
00:01:55,032 --> 00:01:57,899
But together,
it's the story of the mission
34
00:01:58,035 --> 00:02:00,743
and of the men
that changed our world.
35
00:02:04,458 --> 00:02:06,324
- This is Apollo Saturn
launch control.
36
00:02:06,418 --> 00:02:07,624
Right on time as far
37
00:02:07,711 --> 00:02:09,418
as the astronaut countdown
is concerned.
38
00:02:09,546 --> 00:02:12,038
The prime crew now departing
from their crew quarters
39
00:02:12,174 --> 00:02:14,381
here at the Kennedy
Space Center.
40
00:02:14,509 --> 00:02:17,376
[applause]
41
00:02:17,512 --> 00:02:19,298
Astronauts Neil Armstrong,
Buzz Aldrin,
42
00:02:19,389 --> 00:02:21,096
and then finally Mike Collins
43
00:02:21,224 --> 00:02:23,636
and director of flight crew
operations Deke Slayton
44
00:02:23,727 --> 00:02:25,764
now boarding
the transfer van
45
00:02:25,896 --> 00:02:27,512
for the trip
to the launchpad.
46
00:02:30,359 --> 00:02:32,475
The estimate is,
more than a million persons
47
00:02:32,569 --> 00:02:36,028
are in the immediate area
to watch the launch.
48
00:02:39,993 --> 00:02:42,360
Once Armstrong,
who sits in the left-hand seat,
49
00:02:42,454 --> 00:02:46,573
and Collins are aboard,
then Aldrin will take his seat,
50
00:02:46,708 --> 00:02:48,494
the middle seat
in the spacecraft.
51
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:52,540
- T minus 20 seconds
and counting.
52
00:02:52,631 --> 00:02:55,248
Astronauts report
it feels good.
53
00:02:55,342 --> 00:02:56,924
T minus 15 seconds.
54
00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:58,842
Guidance is internal.
55
00:02:58,929 --> 00:03:03,264
12,11,10, 9.
56
00:03:03,392 --> 00:03:04,882
Ignition sequence starts.
57
00:03:04,976 --> 00:03:06,683
[engines roaring]
58
00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:13,984
6.54321,0.
59
00:03:14,111 --> 00:03:16,102
All engines on.
60
00:03:16,196 --> 00:03:17,652
Liftoff.
61
00:03:17,781 --> 00:03:20,569
We have a liftoff,
32 minutes past the hour.
62
00:03:20,659 --> 00:03:23,902
Liftoff for Apollo 7117.
63
00:03:23,995 --> 00:03:26,828
[engines roaring]
64
00:03:37,342 --> 00:03:40,334
[men speaking over radio]
65
00:03:43,098 --> 00:03:44,805
- Complete and the pitch
is programmed.
66
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,800
[applause]
67
00:03:47,894 --> 00:03:49,805
One Bravo.
68
00:03:49,938 --> 00:03:52,805
- Apollo 11, Houston.
You're good at one minute.
69
00:03:56,987 --> 00:03:58,648
- We choose
to go to the moon.
70
00:04:00,407 --> 00:04:02,148
We choose to go to the moon.
71
00:04:08,165 --> 00:04:09,155
- Butterfly.
72
00:04:11,126 --> 00:04:12,332
- Butterfly.
73
00:04:12,461 --> 00:04:15,499
- We choose to go to the moon
in this decade
74
00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:17,086
and do the other things...
75
00:04:17,174 --> 00:04:18,460
- Larger butterfly.
76
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:21,508
- Not because they are easy
but because they are hard.
77
00:04:21,636 --> 00:04:22,751
[applause]
78
00:04:22,846 --> 00:04:25,804
I believe that this nation
should commit itself
79
00:04:25,891 --> 00:04:27,757
to achieving the goal...
80
00:04:27,851 --> 00:04:28,761
- Chicken...
81
00:04:28,852 --> 00:04:30,183
- Before this decade
is out
82
00:04:30,312 --> 00:04:32,144
of landing a man on the moon
83
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:34,688
and returning him safely
to the Earth.
84
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,441
- And how would you say
you've been coping
85
00:04:41,531 --> 00:04:43,818
with the recent death
of your daughter?
86
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:55,538
- Is there a right or wrong
answer to that question?
87
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:58,879
- There's no right or wrong
in psychology, Neil.
88
00:04:58,965 --> 00:05:00,751
It's just what you're feeling,
89
00:05:00,884 --> 00:05:03,342
what your instincts
are telling you.
90
00:05:10,936 --> 00:05:12,392
Okay.
91
00:05:14,773 --> 00:05:18,687
- Thank you for that.
92
00:05:18,777 --> 00:05:20,563
Okay, then.
93
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:25,025
- Well?
94
00:05:25,116 --> 00:05:27,232
- I'm in.
95
00:05:30,580 --> 00:05:33,698
- T minus 15, 14, 13, 12,
96
00:05:33,792 --> 00:05:37,160
11,10, 9.
97
00:05:37,254 --> 00:05:39,416
And we have ignition
sequence start.
98
00:05:39,506 --> 00:05:43,795
4,3,2,1,0
99
00:05:43,927 --> 00:05:46,919
[engines roaring]
100
00:06:09,744 --> 00:06:12,236
- I make that
about seven seconds.
101
00:06:12,330 --> 00:06:13,786
Who had seven seconds?
102
00:06:13,915 --> 00:06:15,076
- I did.
103
00:06:15,166 --> 00:06:16,281
I will take it now
if you want.
104
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:17,866
- You're a lucky
son of a bitch, Lovell.
105
00:06:17,961 --> 00:06:20,328
- Luck?
106
00:06:20,463 --> 00:06:22,124
- So I come to work,
7:00 in the morning,
107
00:06:22,257 --> 00:06:24,498
I'm kind of a little hungover
if I can be honest about it.
108
00:06:24,634 --> 00:06:27,501
And Andy's laying faced own
109
00:06:27,637 --> 00:06:30,129
on the pavement
in a pool of blood
110
00:06:30,265 --> 00:06:32,427
singing Elvis Presley songs.
111
00:06:32,517 --> 00:06:34,679
You are a maniac.
112
00:06:34,811 --> 00:06:36,301
[laughter]
113
00:06:39,649 --> 00:06:41,640
- Morning, ladies.
114
00:06:41,735 --> 00:06:44,227
Assignment time.
115
00:06:44,321 --> 00:06:48,406
In no particular order,
Aldrin, mission planning.
116
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:49,777
How are we gonna
get to the moon?
117
00:06:49,868 --> 00:06:52,485
How many flights?
Which order?
118
00:06:52,621 --> 00:06:54,862
Gordon, cockpit integration.
119
00:06:54,998 --> 00:06:56,864
Be more buttons and switches
than you can count.
120
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,115
Where are we
gonna put them?
121
00:06:58,209 --> 00:07:01,122
Collins,
pressure suits and EVA.
122
00:07:01,212 --> 00:07:03,704
What are we gonna wear
that's gonna keep us alive?
123
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:06,457
We're gonna need to move in it,
breathe in it,
124
00:07:06,551 --> 00:07:08,883
and I'll warn you right now.
125
00:07:09,012 --> 00:07:12,550
There's a strong chance you're
gonna have to crap in it too.
126
00:07:12,682 --> 00:07:15,265
Cernan.
127
00:07:15,352 --> 00:07:18,595
- Honey?
128
00:07:18,688 --> 00:07:22,352
- "Uncoil collection bag
from around selector valve."
129
00:07:26,071 --> 00:07:27,527
- Check.
130
00:07:27,656 --> 00:07:31,194
- "Place penis against
receiver inlet check valve
131
00:07:31,326 --> 00:07:34,193
and roll latex receiver
onto penis."
132
00:07:42,837 --> 00:07:44,623
- Check.
133
00:07:44,714 --> 00:07:47,001
- "Rotate selector valve knob
clockwise
134
00:07:47,092 --> 00:07:49,675
to the urinate position."
135
00:07:51,513 --> 00:07:52,423
- Check.
136
00:07:52,555 --> 00:07:54,387
- "Urinate."
137
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:09,064
Mike?
138
00:08:09,155 --> 00:08:10,441
- One moment.
139
00:08:13,576 --> 00:08:16,238
- Check.
140
00:08:28,133 --> 00:08:30,750
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Am I disturbing you?
141
00:08:30,844 --> 00:08:32,630
- No.
142
00:08:32,762 --> 00:08:36,300
It's okay.
143
00:08:36,433 --> 00:08:37,468
- You're Edwin Aldrin.
144
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,466
- Oh, Buzz.
Everyone calls me Buzz.
145
00:08:39,602 --> 00:08:42,094
- Why do they do that?
146
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:43,553
- My sister,
when we were kids,
147
00:08:43,648 --> 00:08:45,685
she used to say "buzzer"
instead of "brother,"
148
00:08:45,775 --> 00:08:47,106
so I sort of became Buzz.
149
00:08:48,820 --> 00:08:50,731
- Oh.
150
00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:52,688
- You never had a nickname?
151
00:08:52,782 --> 00:08:54,614
- No, not that I knew about.
152
00:08:56,453 --> 00:08:58,239
I'm Neil, by the way.
153
00:08:58,329 --> 00:09:01,447
- Uh, yeah, Armstrong.
I know who you are.
154
00:09:01,583 --> 00:09:04,496
- Well, I'll let you get back
to your books, Buzz.
155
00:09:04,627 --> 00:09:07,961
- Sure.
156
00:09:08,089 --> 00:09:10,080
Neil.
157
00:09:25,982 --> 00:09:27,518
- You done the math yet?
158
00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:29,982
- I'm still struggling
with geology.
159
00:09:30,111 --> 00:09:32,523
- No, I mean
the simple calculation.
160
00:09:32,655 --> 00:09:34,271
How many astronauts we got?
161
00:09:34,365 --> 00:09:37,983
- Got the original seven,
the next nine,
162
00:09:38,119 --> 00:09:39,109
and then the 14 of us.
163
00:09:39,204 --> 00:09:40,160
- 30.
164
00:09:40,288 --> 00:09:41,403
- Mm-hmm.
165
00:09:41,498 --> 00:09:43,660
Estimated number of manned
Gemini flights: ten.
166
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:45,707
Number of astronauts
per flight: two.
167
00:09:45,835 --> 00:09:48,327
I'm counting 30 guys
for 20 seats.
168
00:09:48,421 --> 00:09:50,378
- What about the ones
that have already gone up?
169
00:09:50,507 --> 00:09:51,793
- Are you kidding?
170
00:09:51,883 --> 00:09:53,624
They're top of Deke's list
to go again.
171
00:09:53,718 --> 00:09:54,958
- [laughs]
172
00:09:55,053 --> 00:09:56,669
I hadn't heard anything
about a list.
173
00:09:56,805 --> 00:09:59,797
- Uh, he keeps it up here.
174
00:09:59,891 --> 00:10:01,882
And he sure as hell has one.
175
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:05,806
- Well, there's always Apollo.
176
00:10:05,897 --> 00:10:08,980
- You think he won't just
go back to the top of the list?
177
00:10:09,067 --> 00:10:12,480
This thing could all be over
before we pull on our boots.
178
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,243
- The end of the most dramatic
adventure in space history.
179
00:10:22,372 --> 00:10:24,784
The Gemini 8 flight
had been successful
180
00:10:24,874 --> 00:10:27,286
beyond all expectations
for nearly seven hours
181
00:10:27,377 --> 00:10:30,039
until suddenly a short-circuited
rocket thruster
182
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:31,916
sent Gemini
into wild gyrations.
183
00:10:32,048 --> 00:10:35,712
Command pilot Armstrong
did some superhuman maneuvering
184
00:10:35,844 --> 00:10:37,801
to bring the Gemini
under control.
185
00:10:37,887 --> 00:10:39,469
- How long is he
supposed to be in there?
186
00:10:39,556 --> 00:10:41,217
- Until he hurls.
187
00:10:43,518 --> 00:10:46,556
- During the next
two-man mission, Gemini 10,
188
00:10:46,688 --> 00:10:47,894
there will be an attempt
189
00:10:48,022 --> 00:10:51,105
to meet and join up
with an Agena target.
190
00:10:51,234 --> 00:10:54,898
Copilot for the tenth mission:
astronaut Michael Collins.
191
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:57,195
It is Collins who will leave
the Gemini craft
192
00:10:57,282 --> 00:11:00,149
for a spacewalk.
193
00:11:03,037 --> 00:11:05,904
Astronaut Buzz Aldrin:
194
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,906
it was Aldrin who established
a new record
195
00:11:08,001 --> 00:11:10,834
for time outside a craft
in space,
196
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,912
more than 5 1/2 hours
during Gemini 12.
197
00:11:14,048 --> 00:11:17,791
The 39-year-old astronaut
has an impressive background,
198
00:11:17,927 --> 00:11:20,510
including a doctorate.
199
00:11:23,892 --> 00:11:27,476
- Marion,
let's get the bags out.
200
00:11:27,604 --> 00:11:29,140
Did I ever tell you
about the first time
201
00:11:29,272 --> 00:11:30,933
he ever flew
in an airplane?
202
00:11:31,065 --> 00:11:31,930
- [groans]
203
00:11:32,066 --> 00:11:33,773
Only about a thousand times,
Dad.
204
00:11:33,902 --> 00:11:35,609
- Two years of age,
205
00:11:35,737 --> 00:11:38,604
threw up all the way
from New Jersey to Florida.
206
00:11:38,740 --> 00:11:41,653
- Maybe if you were
a better flyer.
207
00:11:44,662 --> 00:11:45,823
- How are they treating you?
208
00:11:47,832 --> 00:11:49,869
- They give us pretty much
anything we need.
209
00:11:51,544 --> 00:11:53,785
- What about the others
in the program?
210
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,747
- Good bunch of guys,
all things considered.
211
00:11:56,841 --> 00:12:01,005
It's slightly awkward,
as you might expect.
212
00:12:01,137 --> 00:12:02,127
- Too many egos?
213
00:12:02,222 --> 00:12:04,054
- We all came in
at different times.
214
00:12:04,140 --> 00:12:06,256
Nobody says anything,
215
00:12:06,351 --> 00:12:09,093
but it's pretty obvious who's
gonna get the best missions.
216
00:12:09,187 --> 00:12:11,019
- You should speak up
for yourself.
217
00:12:11,147 --> 00:12:14,265
- I do, Dad.
218
00:12:14,359 --> 00:12:16,441
Sometimes that's
what holds me back.
219
00:12:16,527 --> 00:12:18,359
- They call him doctor,
some of them.
220
00:12:18,488 --> 00:12:19,478
- Why would they do that?
221
00:12:19,614 --> 00:12:20,900
- "Dr. Rendezvous."
222
00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:22,321
- It's a joke.
223
00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:23,398
- I don't get it.
224
00:12:23,493 --> 00:12:25,279
- He's a doctor of science.
225
00:12:25,370 --> 00:12:26,485
They're giving him
the gears.
226
00:12:26,621 --> 00:12:27,907
- Dad, it's fine.
227
00:12:27,997 --> 00:12:30,034
If people want to laugh at me
because I'm qualified,
228
00:12:30,166 --> 00:12:31,497
I'll let them.
229
00:12:31,626 --> 00:12:34,584
- Everybody's been so nice to us
since we moved here.
230
00:12:34,671 --> 00:12:37,504
Charlie and Jeanie Basset
live right behind us.
231
00:12:37,632 --> 00:12:39,794
- Every NASA employee's
within spitting distance.
232
00:12:39,884 --> 00:12:42,125
- We have barbecues
and drinks.
233
00:12:42,220 --> 00:12:44,131
We babysit
for each other.
234
00:12:44,222 --> 00:12:45,963
It's all
very relaxed.
235
00:12:46,057 --> 00:12:48,424
We hardly
have to go anywhere, do we?
236
00:12:48,518 --> 00:12:50,350
- Doesn't sound like anybody's
in much of a hurry
237
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:51,847
to get to the moon.
238
00:12:51,938 --> 00:12:54,020
- Kennedy said by the end
of the decade.
239
00:12:54,148 --> 00:12:56,480
- Kennedy's dead.
240
00:12:56,567 --> 00:12:57,898
Or did you miss
that little episode
241
00:12:58,027 --> 00:13:01,645
over in Dallas?
242
00:13:01,739 --> 00:13:03,855
- I think
we'll get there, Dad.
243
00:13:09,372 --> 00:13:10,988
- The early missions
of Mercury
244
00:13:11,082 --> 00:13:14,200
and the experience from Gemini
have brought this country
245
00:13:14,294 --> 00:13:16,126
to the next major milestone:
246
00:13:16,212 --> 00:13:18,874
the first Apollo
three-man spaceflight.
247
00:13:18,965 --> 00:13:21,081
These are the men
to fly that mission:
248
00:13:21,217 --> 00:13:24,505
Command pilot Virgil Grissom,
his third time into space;
249
00:13:24,595 --> 00:13:27,053
astronaut Roger Chaffee;
250
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:28,881
the senior pilot,
Edward White.
251
00:13:28,975 --> 00:13:32,559
He will be remembered for his
spacewalk during Gemini 4.
252
00:13:32,645 --> 00:13:35,057
Everything is nearly ready,
including the crew,
253
00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:38,436
for this country's
first three-man spaceflight.
254
00:13:38,568 --> 00:13:40,434
- Gentlemen, to stay
ahead of our enemies
255
00:13:40,570 --> 00:13:42,857
in the space race, we've got
to do something sensational.
256
00:13:42,947 --> 00:13:44,563
Any suggestions?
257
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:46,614
- Why don't we put
a space capsule into orbit
258
00:13:46,743 --> 00:13:48,529
and then have a man
get out of the capsule
259
00:13:48,619 --> 00:13:49,825
and walk around--
260
00:13:49,912 --> 00:13:52,779
[phone rings]
261
00:13:52,915 --> 00:13:53,780
- Hello?
262
00:13:53,916 --> 00:13:54,997
- Jan, it's Al.
263
00:13:55,084 --> 00:13:56,245
- Hey, Al.
264
00:13:56,377 --> 00:13:58,914
Listen, can I call you back
in a short while?
265
00:13:59,005 --> 00:14:01,292
- I need to talk
to you now, Jan.
266
00:14:01,424 --> 00:14:02,585
- What is it?
267
00:14:02,717 --> 00:14:04,924
- I'm afraid
something's happened.
268
00:14:05,053 --> 00:14:06,259
- Where's Neil?
269
00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:09,088
- Neil's in Washington.
He arrived safely.
270
00:14:09,223 --> 00:14:11,009
Our problem is here.
271
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:13,182
I need you to go run
to Ed White's house.
272
00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:15,931
I want you to sit with Pat.
273
00:14:16,064 --> 00:14:17,270
- I can do that.
274
00:14:17,398 --> 00:14:19,184
- Somebody will be on their way
to explain,
275
00:14:19,275 --> 00:14:21,266
but you need to stay
with Pat.
276
00:14:21,361 --> 00:14:23,523
Can you do that for me,
Janet?
277
00:14:23,613 --> 00:14:24,899
- Of course.
278
00:14:24,989 --> 00:14:27,606
- Keep her away
from the television.
279
00:14:33,706 --> 00:14:35,697
[knocking]
280
00:14:44,217 --> 00:14:46,379
- Get out of the car.
281
00:14:46,469 --> 00:14:47,379
- Hi, Jan.
282
00:14:47,470 --> 00:14:49,131
- Can we go inside, Pat?
283
00:14:49,222 --> 00:14:50,838
- Is something the matter?
284
00:14:50,973 --> 00:14:53,260
- Hi, Mrs. Armstrong.
- Hi, Bonnie.
285
00:14:53,351 --> 00:14:56,139
- Hi, Mrs. Armstrong.
286
00:14:56,270 --> 00:14:58,807
- What's happened?
287
00:15:11,577 --> 00:15:12,487
- That's Ed.
288
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:14,489
It's Ed's car.
289
00:15:18,167 --> 00:15:19,407
- It's Bill.
290
00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:23,453
- They've all got
those damn caddies.
291
00:15:38,229 --> 00:15:40,311
- Uh, excuse me.
292
00:15:42,442 --> 00:15:44,433
- There's been
an accident.
293
00:15:49,574 --> 00:15:50,985
- No!
294
00:15:51,075 --> 00:15:52,736
[sobbing
No! J
295
00:15:52,869 --> 00:15:54,735
- I'm so sorry.
296
00:15:54,871 --> 00:15:57,704
- It would be an instantaneous
death, would it not?
297
00:15:57,832 --> 00:16:00,164
- I think
that's a fair assumption.
298
00:16:00,251 --> 00:16:02,959
[line ringing]
299
00:16:03,045 --> 00:16:05,912
- Virgil Grissom, Edward White,
and Roger Chaffee
300
00:16:06,048 --> 00:16:08,039
lost their lives
in a spacecraft fire
301
00:16:08,176 --> 00:16:10,884
while preparing
for manned orbital flight.
302
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:14,964
The fire was probably caused
by an electrical arc.
303
00:16:15,057 --> 00:16:16,764
The precise origin of the fire
304
00:16:16,893 --> 00:16:19,225
will probably never
be determined.
305
00:16:20,396 --> 00:16:22,228
- This is an extremely
hazardous business.
306
00:16:22,356 --> 00:16:26,896
We've tried to convey that
to people.
307
00:16:26,986 --> 00:16:29,819
But it's a shame that things
like this have to happen
308
00:16:29,906 --> 00:16:32,364
to bring it home to us
so dramatically.
309
00:16:35,786 --> 00:16:37,902
- Six men in three years.
310
00:16:38,039 --> 00:16:39,404
- But not one of them
in space.
311
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:42,453
- Does that make
a difference, Fred?
312
00:16:42,585 --> 00:16:44,417
- Sure, it does.
313
00:16:44,504 --> 00:16:45,744
- Yeah, on the ground
in training,
314
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,712
accidents are always
gonna happen.
315
00:16:47,798 --> 00:16:50,256
It's the same
to avoid them up there.
316
00:16:50,343 --> 00:16:53,461
- Did you know we're the only
animal that lives its life
317
00:16:53,596 --> 00:16:56,088
knowing it's going to die?
318
00:16:56,224 --> 00:16:57,464
- How can they
even prove that?
319
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,090
- I don't know.
320
00:16:59,185 --> 00:17:01,267
But it doesn't
seem fair.
321
00:17:01,395 --> 00:17:02,885
- Unless you die
in childhood.
322
00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:06,063
That's a life
never knowing it'll end.
323
00:17:06,150 --> 00:17:07,766
- Sorry, Jan.
324
00:17:07,902 --> 00:17:09,267
I wasn't thinking.
325
00:17:09,403 --> 00:17:11,770
- [sighs]
326
00:17:11,906 --> 00:17:15,740
I don't know why everyone's
so fascinated by death.
327
00:17:15,826 --> 00:17:18,614
Talking about it seems...
328
00:17:18,746 --> 00:17:21,454
Well, it's not something
Neil and I ever do.
329
00:17:21,541 --> 00:17:22,827
- Never?
330
00:18:11,173 --> 00:18:12,709
- Stay still.
331
00:18:15,511 --> 00:18:17,593
I'm not very good at this.
332
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,170
Oh, you're beautiful.
333
00:18:21,183 --> 00:18:23,140
- Haven't you got enough footage
of that thing yet?
334
00:18:23,227 --> 00:18:26,185
- Come on, don't you find him
fascinating?
335
00:18:26,272 --> 00:18:27,888
- It's a monkey.
336
00:18:28,024 --> 00:18:31,733
- Correction:
he's a monkey.
337
00:18:31,861 --> 00:18:32,851
Stay.
338
00:18:33,988 --> 00:18:35,729
Will you remember
to feed him for me?
339
00:18:35,865 --> 00:18:36,855
- Where are you going?
340
00:18:36,991 --> 00:18:38,823
- Mike Collins
is in the hospital.
341
00:18:38,909 --> 00:18:40,695
They found a problem
with his spine.
342
00:18:40,786 --> 00:18:42,242
- Is he gonna be all right?
343
00:18:42,371 --> 00:18:43,361
- Sure.
344
00:18:43,497 --> 00:18:46,080
The big question is,
will he fly again?
345
00:18:46,208 --> 00:18:48,119
[monkey squeaking]
346
00:18:51,672 --> 00:18:52,878
- What sort
of a grown man
347
00:18:53,007 --> 00:18:55,374
keeps a monkey
for a pet?
348
00:18:55,509 --> 00:18:56,840
- He's come to visit.
349
00:18:56,927 --> 00:18:58,133
Be nice.
350
00:19:09,565 --> 00:19:10,555
- Hey.
351
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:13,062
- Hey, Buzz.
- Hey, Buzz.
352
00:19:13,152 --> 00:19:15,735
- I was gonna bring some cakes,
but Joan burned them.
353
00:19:15,863 --> 00:19:17,024
How you feeling, Mike?
354
00:19:17,114 --> 00:19:18,821
- Like someone just cut
a piece of my spine out.
355
00:19:18,908 --> 00:19:20,899
- Yeah, you're lucky
they spotted it when they did.
356
00:19:20,993 --> 00:19:22,233
- That's what I tell him.
357
00:19:22,328 --> 00:19:25,161
- Yeah, I'm feeling
real fortunate.
358
00:19:25,247 --> 00:19:27,989
- I'm gonna leave you boys
to talk.
359
00:19:33,005 --> 00:19:34,962
- So what am I missing?
360
00:19:35,091 --> 00:19:37,423
- The lunar module's not gonna
be ready for testing on 8.
361
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:39,592
- Another setback.
362
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,427
- Maybe not.
363
00:19:41,514 --> 00:19:42,925
They're changing
the mission profile
364
00:19:43,057 --> 00:19:44,013
because of it.
365
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:47,434
They want to put 8
into lunar orbit.
366
00:19:47,561 --> 00:19:50,178
Frank Borman's going
all the way to the moon.
367
00:19:50,272 --> 00:19:53,606
It's one hell of a ride
you're missing.
368
00:19:53,734 --> 00:19:55,520
- Aren't you here
to make me feel better?
369
00:19:55,611 --> 00:19:56,521
- [laughs]
370
00:19:56,612 --> 00:19:57,773
Come on, Deke likes you.
371
00:19:57,863 --> 00:20:00,104
He'll have you
back in rotation by 12.
372
00:20:00,199 --> 00:20:01,530
And imagine
where we'll be by then.
373
00:20:01,617 --> 00:20:03,779
And the surgery right now
could be a blessing.
374
00:20:03,911 --> 00:20:05,117
- If I come back at all.
375
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:07,571
I've been offered a placement
in Washington.
376
00:20:07,665 --> 00:20:09,030
Tom Payne asked me
to work with him
377
00:20:09,125 --> 00:20:11,366
on the applications program.
378
00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:20,801
- So you'd rather
babysit astronauts than be one.
379
00:20:20,928 --> 00:20:22,134
- It's a good offer.
380
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:24,212
- Yeah.
381
00:21:15,649 --> 00:21:16,730
Hi, Mike.
382
00:21:16,859 --> 00:21:18,145
- Buzz.
383
00:21:20,237 --> 00:21:23,229
[engines roaring]
384
00:21:26,952 --> 00:21:29,944
[men speaking on radio]
385
00:21:41,008 --> 00:21:42,339
- Okay, Houston.
386
00:21:42,426 --> 00:21:46,715
The moon is essentially gray,
little color.
387
00:21:46,847 --> 00:21:49,555
Looks like plaster of Paris.
388
00:21:53,103 --> 00:21:58,894
- Okay, for colors, the waters
are all sort of a royal blue.
389
00:21:58,984 --> 00:22:00,691
The clouds, of course,
are bright white.
390
00:22:00,778 --> 00:22:03,065
The reflection
off the Earth is...
391
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:04,065
[knocking]
392
00:22:04,156 --> 00:22:05,066
- You wanted to see me?
393
00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:07,068
- Oh, Neil.
Yeah.
394
00:22:07,201 --> 00:22:08,612
Come on in.
395
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,452
- Generally a brownish...
396
00:22:11,580 --> 00:22:15,039
- You been listening to those
sons of bitches up there?
397
00:22:15,125 --> 00:22:16,911
- Sounds like they're
enjoying themselves.
398
00:22:17,002 --> 00:22:19,664
- TV stars.
Would you believe it?
399
00:22:19,755 --> 00:22:23,293
Now, provided we bring back 8
without a hitch,
400
00:22:23,425 --> 00:22:25,132
there's no reason
why we shouldn't accelerate
401
00:22:25,261 --> 00:22:26,422
down the homestretch.
402
00:22:26,512 --> 00:22:29,254
Apollo 9, we test
the lunar module in Earth orbit.
403
00:22:29,390 --> 00:22:32,473
And 10, try the same thing
in lunar orbit.
404
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,933
And 11, we land.
405
00:22:37,022 --> 00:22:39,104
- Well, that assumes
that 9 and 10 go to plan.
406
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:42,058
- Well, of course.
407
00:22:42,152 --> 00:22:43,642
But everyone's in agreement
408
00:22:43,779 --> 00:22:46,111
that our first shot
of landing is 11.
409
00:22:47,658 --> 00:22:49,865
Are you okay with that?
410
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:51,613
- I'll take whatever's going.
411
00:22:51,704 --> 00:22:53,115
- Mike is ready
to fly again,
412
00:22:53,247 --> 00:22:55,739
and Buzz is next on rotation.
413
00:22:55,833 --> 00:22:57,915
Are you happy
with that crew?
414
00:22:58,002 --> 00:22:59,288
- Sure.
415
00:22:59,378 --> 00:23:02,461
- This all points to being
a historic mission.
416
00:23:02,548 --> 00:23:05,916
Now, I'm willing to shake it up
on your recommendation.
417
00:23:09,263 --> 00:23:10,924
- Why don't you
make your point, Deke?
418
00:23:11,015 --> 00:23:16,977
- Well, Buzz isn't the easiest
person to get along with.
419
00:23:17,104 --> 00:23:20,347
Talented, certainly,
but personality-wise--
420
00:23:20,482 --> 00:23:22,314
- I haven't had a problem
with him.
421
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:25,484
- Others have.
422
00:23:25,613 --> 00:23:27,524
- I can't speak for them.
423
00:23:27,656 --> 00:23:29,317
- I can make
Jim Lovell available.
424
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:33,868
Hell, I know you two
can work together.
425
00:23:33,996 --> 00:23:37,330
Well, it's your crew,
your call.
426
00:23:42,171 --> 00:23:46,005
Think about it.
427
00:23:50,804 --> 00:23:54,593
- Is it what you want?
428
00:23:54,683 --> 00:23:58,176
I mean, is it
what you really want?
429
00:23:58,312 --> 00:24:01,350
Commander
of the first moon landing?
430
00:24:01,482 --> 00:24:02,847
It's not something
I'd turn down.
431
00:24:02,983 --> 00:24:04,690
- Who else is going?
432
00:24:04,818 --> 00:24:06,434
Is Edwin Aldrin going?
433
00:24:06,528 --> 00:24:08,269
- The final crew
hasn't been confirmed,
434
00:24:08,364 --> 00:24:12,358
so don't say anything
just yet.
435
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,570
Okay, we shouldn't be
too long.
436
00:24:17,706 --> 00:24:19,071
- Speak for yourself.
437
00:24:19,208 --> 00:24:21,495
I intend to celebrate.
438
00:24:21,585 --> 00:24:23,496
You can keep them up
for the broadcast, Alice.
439
00:24:23,587 --> 00:24:26,079
- Okay.
- Then straight to bed.
440
00:24:26,215 --> 00:24:28,297
Okay? Night, honey.
441
00:24:28,384 --> 00:24:31,217
- Have a good party.
- And you.
442
00:24:31,303 --> 00:24:32,714
- Santa's on his way, boys.
443
00:24:32,846 --> 00:24:35,213
- Yay.
444
00:24:35,349 --> 00:24:36,635
- Oh, he's a terrible bore.
445
00:24:36,725 --> 00:24:39,217
- Oh, look,
it's Charlie and Dottie.
446
00:24:39,353 --> 00:24:41,060
Hi.
- Hey, Dottie.
447
00:24:41,146 --> 00:24:42,932
- Hi, Charlie.
448
00:24:43,065 --> 00:24:44,476
Hi.
449
00:24:49,530 --> 00:24:50,395
- Jan.
450
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:51,396
- Hey, Marylyn.
451
00:24:51,532 --> 00:24:52,613
- You look lovely,
as always.
452
00:24:52,741 --> 00:24:55,733
Neil, likewise.
453
00:24:55,869 --> 00:24:57,075
- Busy house.
454
00:24:57,204 --> 00:24:58,911
- We just sent a load of people
over to Fredo's.
455
00:24:58,998 --> 00:25:01,080
I'm worried not everyone's
gonna get to see the screen.
456
00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:02,656
- Oh, I'm sure we'll manage.
457
00:25:02,751 --> 00:25:04,037
- Hey, did you hear
what old Shake y's done?
458
00:25:04,128 --> 00:25:05,618
- Don't you dare tell anyone.
459
00:25:05,754 --> 00:25:08,041
- He named a moon mountain
after her, Mount Marylyn.
460
00:25:08,132 --> 00:25:09,167
- Twin peaks, apparently.
461
00:25:09,258 --> 00:25:10,748
[laughter]
- Really?
462
00:25:10,843 --> 00:25:12,584
- Come on.
463
00:25:14,763 --> 00:25:16,219
- How you doing, Buzz?
464
00:25:16,306 --> 00:25:18,138
- Pretty good.
465
00:25:18,267 --> 00:25:19,928
Let's get those open for you,
shall we?
466
00:25:20,060 --> 00:25:21,596
- Yeah.
467
00:25:29,528 --> 00:25:33,613
- We are now approaching
lunar sunrise.
468
00:25:33,699 --> 00:25:37,283
And for all the people
back on Earth,
469
00:25:37,411 --> 00:25:40,119
the crew of Apollo 8
has a message
470
00:25:40,247 --> 00:25:43,365
that we would like
to send to you.
471
00:25:43,459 --> 00:25:47,794
"In the beginning, God created
the heaven and the Earth.
472
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,339
"And the Earth
was without form and void,
473
00:25:51,467 --> 00:25:54,630
"and darkness was upon the face
of the deep.
474
00:25:54,762 --> 00:25:58,721
"And the spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.
475
00:25:58,807 --> 00:26:02,095
"And God said,
'Let there be light.'
476
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:04,018
"And there was light.
477
00:26:04,146 --> 00:26:07,684
"And God saw the light,
that it was good.
478
00:26:07,816 --> 00:26:11,150
And God divided the light
from the darkness."
479
00:26:33,133 --> 00:26:34,999
- You're missing it.
480
00:26:35,135 --> 00:26:37,593
- "And God called the dry land
the Earth
481
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:41,172
"and the gathering together
of the waters the seas.
482
00:26:41,308 --> 00:26:44,767
And God saw
that it was good."
483
00:26:44,853 --> 00:26:48,687
I'm familiar with Genesis.
484
00:26:48,816 --> 00:26:50,557
Of course, this is what
it's gonna be all about
485
00:26:50,692 --> 00:26:52,524
from now on, isn't it?
486
00:26:52,611 --> 00:26:54,352
It's not enough
to go to the moon.
487
00:26:54,446 --> 00:26:57,689
You got to do it
on television.
488
00:26:57,783 --> 00:27:00,992
- Does that bother you?
489
00:27:01,078 --> 00:27:03,445
- My, uh--
490
00:27:03,539 --> 00:27:05,780
My face doesn't fit
on the screen
491
00:27:05,874 --> 00:27:08,115
like some
of the other guys.
492
00:27:08,210 --> 00:27:11,373
Too big, too long.
493
00:27:11,505 --> 00:27:14,247
I'm sure they can find
a suitable lens.
494
00:27:14,383 --> 00:27:20,004
- You don't like that side of it
so much, do you, the press?
495
00:27:20,097 --> 00:27:25,308
- Well, if they want to ask me
about the technical aspects,
496
00:27:25,394 --> 00:27:28,432
then sure,
I'm happy to answer them.
497
00:27:28,564 --> 00:27:31,397
But for some reason,
498
00:27:31,525 --> 00:27:34,517
they all just want to know
how everything feels.
499
00:27:37,865 --> 00:27:39,902
- Even if you could tell them,
they wouldn't get it.
500
00:27:43,245 --> 00:27:47,785
"Cause when you're up there
in space looking down,
501
00:27:47,916 --> 00:27:50,283
there's nothing wrong
with the world.
502
00:27:50,419 --> 00:27:54,413
But when you're down here
looking up,
503
00:27:54,548 --> 00:27:57,586
everything's different.
504
00:28:00,971 --> 00:28:02,962
You know what
my biggest problem is?
505
00:28:07,102 --> 00:28:08,638
I'm always trying
to remind myself
506
00:28:08,770 --> 00:28:11,512
how it was up there.
507
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:14,936
But it's impossible.
508
00:28:15,027 --> 00:28:18,110
I know.
509
00:28:18,238 --> 00:28:22,106
You can only really feel it
when you're there.
510
00:28:33,795 --> 00:28:35,502
- Merry Christmas, Buzz.
511
00:28:35,631 --> 00:28:37,622
- Mm.
512
00:28:46,308 --> 00:28:48,549
- And from the crew
of Apollo 8,
513
00:28:48,644 --> 00:28:52,763
we close with good night,
good luck,
514
00:28:52,856 --> 00:28:56,019
a merry Christmas,
and God bless all of you,
515
00:28:56,151 --> 00:28:57,983
all of you on the good Earth.
516
00:28:58,111 --> 00:29:01,103
[applause]
517
00:29:06,995 --> 00:29:07,985
- Joan, honey.
518
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,196
Can you swing by
and pick me up?
519
00:29:10,332 --> 00:29:12,414
As soon as you can.
520
00:29:12,501 --> 00:29:14,833
No, no, no.
Everything's fine.
521
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:15,910
Okay.
522
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,431
The washing machine's
packed up.
523
00:29:34,898 --> 00:29:36,684
Faye says we can do a load
in her machine.
524
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:38,311
- I'm going to the moon.
525
00:29:38,402 --> 00:29:40,484
- If you can't fix it by Monday,
I'm gonna call somebody out.
526
00:29:40,570 --> 00:29:42,106
I don't care
how much it costs.
527
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:44,939
- Did you hear
what I just said?
528
00:29:45,033 --> 00:29:48,697
Apollo 11 is gonna land.
529
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:49,902
- [screams]
530
00:29:50,038 --> 00:29:52,655
Oh, baby!
Oh, Buzz.
531
00:29:52,749 --> 00:29:55,787
- Whoa, baby, I'm driving.
I'm driving.
532
00:29:55,877 --> 00:29:57,367
Come here.
533
00:29:57,504 --> 00:30:00,371
You can't just bend down
and pick up a rock.
534
00:30:00,507 --> 00:30:01,963
It could fall.
535
00:30:02,050 --> 00:30:02,960
It could shag your suit.
536
00:30:03,051 --> 00:30:04,132
Anything can go wrong.
537
00:30:04,219 --> 00:30:06,130
So what you got to have
is a scoop.
538
00:30:06,221 --> 00:30:07,461
Hey, here. Honey?
539
00:30:07,556 --> 00:30:10,548
Throw me a couple socks
and a pillowcase.
540
00:30:10,642 --> 00:30:13,885
So, you know, the first thing
you have to do on the surface--
541
00:30:14,021 --> 00:30:14,931
[laughs]
542
00:30:15,063 --> 00:30:17,100
On the surface--
is get the rocks, yeah?
543
00:30:17,232 --> 00:30:18,563
It's a contingency sample.
544
00:30:18,692 --> 00:30:21,559
So if anything else goes wrong,
if you have to call and abort,
545
00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:23,109
at least you got the rocks.
546
00:30:23,238 --> 00:30:24,728
Yeah?
547
00:30:28,660 --> 00:30:30,071
That looks easy enough.
548
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,119
But you try this
at /6 gravity.
549
00:30:32,247 --> 00:30:34,454
You know, I need--how long
does this thing have to be?
550
00:30:34,583 --> 00:30:35,698
I need a tape measure.
551
00:30:35,792 --> 00:30:37,248
Do you got a tape measure
around here?
552
00:30:37,377 --> 00:30:40,039
- Honey, I'm real happy
for you.
553
00:30:40,130 --> 00:30:41,291
When I get this washing up,
554
00:30:41,423 --> 00:30:43,005
I'm gonna come celebrate
with you.
555
00:30:43,091 --> 00:30:44,752
But right now,
you're in my way.
556
00:30:47,346 --> 00:30:48,381
- I need--
557
00:30:55,812 --> 00:30:57,553
Dad.
558
00:30:57,647 --> 00:31:00,765
I've got some news.
559
00:31:00,859 --> 00:31:03,100
Are you sitting down?
560
00:31:22,047 --> 00:31:24,960
[flashbulbs popping]
561
00:31:25,050 --> 00:31:28,042
[men shouting]
562
00:31:39,106 --> 00:31:46,479
- Gentlemen, I give you
the crew of Apollo 11.
563
00:31:53,995 --> 00:31:55,326
Questions?
564
00:31:55,455 --> 00:31:57,913
- Which one of you gentlemen
is going to be the first man
565
00:31:57,999 --> 00:32:01,117
to set foot
on the lunar surface?
566
00:32:02,921 --> 00:32:07,836
- We haven't really decided
on that issue yet.
567
00:32:07,968 --> 00:32:11,006
We've done a large amount
of simulation.
568
00:32:11,096 --> 00:32:12,928
I think whoever steps out first
569
00:32:13,014 --> 00:32:16,257
will be dependent
on further tests.
570
00:32:16,351 --> 00:32:17,841
Hell, is it that big a deal?
571
00:32:20,689 --> 00:32:22,680
Have another go there, Tom.
572
00:32:44,754 --> 00:32:49,874
- Of course you know
it's gonna be Neil, don't you?
573
00:32:50,010 --> 00:32:53,298
- If it's good for the mission,
it's good for me.
574
00:32:53,388 --> 00:32:54,878
- You qualify before him.
575
00:32:54,973 --> 00:32:55,883
He's second 9.
576
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:57,135
You're third 14.
577
00:32:57,225 --> 00:32:58,306
You know the order.
578
00:32:58,393 --> 00:32:59,554
He's a commander.
579
00:32:59,644 --> 00:33:01,385
Hell, he's gonna be closer
to the hatch,
580
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,391
you want to split hairs
about the whole thing.
581
00:33:03,482 --> 00:33:06,019
- Like I said,
582
00:33:06,109 --> 00:33:08,897
if it's good for the mission,
it's good for me.
583
00:33:11,031 --> 00:33:11,896
- Yeah, sure.
584
00:33:12,032 --> 00:33:13,147
The pilot performs the EVA,
585
00:33:13,241 --> 00:33:15,198
and the commander remains
in the command position.
586
00:33:15,285 --> 00:33:16,275
- Ergo at the control.
587
00:33:16,411 --> 00:33:18,072
- Yeah, but it's not
a standard EVA.
588
00:33:18,205 --> 00:33:19,195
Once you've landed,
589
00:33:19,289 --> 00:33:20,745
you don't need anyone
at the controls.
590
00:33:20,832 --> 00:33:22,243
- You can't just set a precedent
591
00:33:22,334 --> 00:33:23,916
and then change it
at the last minute.
592
00:33:24,044 --> 00:33:26,331
I've clocked 5 1/2 hours
of spacewalks.
593
00:33:26,421 --> 00:33:27,911
That's more than anyone.
594
00:33:28,048 --> 00:33:29,709
Neil's never even done
an EVA before.
595
00:33:29,799 --> 00:33:31,710
- I understand
why you would have assumed--
596
00:33:31,801 --> 00:33:32,882
- Whoa.
597
00:33:32,969 --> 00:33:34,926
I haven't assumed
a damn thing.
598
00:33:35,013 --> 00:33:37,050
This doesn't bother me
either way, Mike.
599
00:33:37,140 --> 00:33:38,426
I'm just waiting to be told.
600
00:33:38,517 --> 00:33:42,260
- How does Neil
feel about this?
601
00:33:42,354 --> 00:33:45,142
- How does Neil feel
about anything?
602
00:33:52,948 --> 00:33:55,940
- My suit's caught.
603
00:33:56,076 --> 00:33:57,566
[grunting]
604
00:33:57,661 --> 00:34:00,028
It's stuck on something.
605
00:34:04,834 --> 00:34:05,949
[laughter]
606
00:34:06,086 --> 00:34:07,292
A little help, somebody?
607
00:34:07,379 --> 00:34:11,418
[applause]
608
00:34:11,508 --> 00:34:15,126
- You all get back into position
and try that again.
609
00:34:15,220 --> 00:34:16,301
Come on, guys.
610
00:34:16,429 --> 00:34:19,137
We haven't got long
to figure this out.
611
00:34:19,266 --> 00:34:21,633
- Not long enough.
612
00:34:24,854 --> 00:34:28,097
- Well, you can't walk on it
unless you land on it.
613
00:34:28,191 --> 00:34:29,977
- No kidding.
614
00:34:30,110 --> 00:34:32,647
- Well, I guess the walking
is quite monumental
615
00:34:32,737 --> 00:34:35,274
when you see it
from the layman's perspective.
616
00:34:39,661 --> 00:34:43,029
- You want to be
the first out?
617
00:34:43,164 --> 00:34:44,495
- Are you offering or asking?
618
00:34:44,624 --> 00:34:46,991
- Actually, I'm just cutting
through the crap.
619
00:34:48,295 --> 00:34:52,505
- Well, given the choice,
sure, I'll take it.
620
00:34:52,591 --> 00:34:57,381
Not given the choice,
okay by me.
621
00:34:57,512 --> 00:34:59,048
Does that answer
your question, Buzz?
622
00:35:06,521 --> 00:35:09,183
- You've got some nice
holiday snaps there, Tom.
623
00:35:11,860 --> 00:35:14,147
- We could have landed
if they'd given us enough fuel
624
00:35:14,237 --> 00:35:15,602
to get back up again.
625
00:35:15,697 --> 00:35:18,189
Not to mention a thousand
other technicalities.
626
00:35:18,283 --> 00:35:21,651
Truth is, boys, we just
didn't want to spoil your fun.
627
00:35:26,291 --> 00:35:28,703
This is where you're gonna
put down.
628
00:35:28,793 --> 00:35:30,704
We painted some white lines
in the sky.
629
00:35:30,837 --> 00:35:32,373
You can't miss.
630
00:35:32,505 --> 00:35:34,087
- What if we do?
631
00:35:34,215 --> 00:35:35,705
- You don't want to.
632
00:35:35,842 --> 00:35:37,207
- I think what Buzz
is saying is,
633
00:35:37,344 --> 00:35:40,052
can you at least show us
what to expect?
634
00:35:47,562 --> 00:35:50,725
- Oh, my God.
635
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:54,933
- That crater there,
how big is that?
636
00:35:55,070 --> 00:35:58,404
- Tom?
637
00:35:58,490 --> 00:36:01,403
- That one is probably the size
of a football stadium.
638
00:36:01,534 --> 00:36:04,777
- Cowboys or dolphins?
639
00:36:07,916 --> 00:36:10,408
- What you've seen is the safest
place to set down.
640
00:36:11,753 --> 00:36:12,959
If you're gonna miss that,
641
00:36:13,088 --> 00:36:16,080
you might want
to think about an abort.
642
00:36:18,259 --> 00:36:20,045
- How are Neil and Buzz
getting along?
643
00:36:20,136 --> 00:36:21,467
- Don't see much of the men.
644
00:36:21,596 --> 00:36:23,303
- Different simulators.
645
00:36:23,431 --> 00:36:25,422
- You'll get your chance
in the lunar module, Mike.
646
00:36:25,517 --> 00:36:27,428
You can back up
as commander on 14
647
00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:28,725
and land with 17.
648
00:36:28,812 --> 00:36:31,645
- Yeah, I've been thinking
about that.
649
00:36:31,773 --> 00:36:34,811
If Apollo 11 aborts
and falls into the ocean,
650
00:36:34,943 --> 00:36:36,104
well, then, yeah, sure,
651
00:36:36,236 --> 00:36:38,773
I'd love to give it
another shot.
652
00:36:38,863 --> 00:36:44,575
But if we fly this one
as planned,
653
00:36:44,661 --> 00:36:48,780
I think that's
gonna be it for me.
654
00:36:48,873 --> 00:36:51,331
- Apollo 11, you are go
for landing, over.
655
00:36:51,459 --> 00:36:54,702
- Understand.
Go for landing, 3,000 feet.
656
00:36:54,796 --> 00:36:56,958
- Eagle to Houston.
Your Delta-H is high.
657
00:36:57,090 --> 00:36:58,706
- We're gonna need a lock-on.
- Got a lock on?
658
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,461
- Yeah. Let's do this.
- Okay.
659
00:37:00,552 --> 00:37:01,587
- Roger.
660
00:37:01,678 --> 00:37:03,635
Delta-H
is still looking high.
661
00:37:03,722 --> 00:37:04,883
[buzzing noises]
662
00:37:04,973 --> 00:37:06,634
- 6 plus 25, throttle down.
663
00:37:06,725 --> 00:37:08,261
- Okay, we have an alarm.
664
00:37:08,351 --> 00:37:10,058
Can you give us a reading
on the program alarm?
665
00:37:10,145 --> 00:37:11,852
[electronic beeping]
666
00:37:11,980 --> 00:37:13,141
Yeah, I know.
667
00:37:13,273 --> 00:37:14,513
- Roger, we have good data.
668
00:37:14,649 --> 00:37:16,686
- 600.
669
00:37:16,818 --> 00:37:18,604
- Can you give us a reading
on the program alarm?
670
00:37:18,695 --> 00:37:19,730
- Stand by for that.
671
00:37:19,821 --> 00:37:22,279
- Neil, abort.
Hit abort!
672
00:37:24,617 --> 00:37:25,573
[alarm sounds]
673
00:37:25,660 --> 00:37:26,775
- Okay, guys.
674
00:37:26,870 --> 00:37:28,326
That's a vehicle loss.
675
00:37:28,413 --> 00:37:29,619
Save all your data.
676
00:37:29,706 --> 00:37:32,789
Reset and debrief
at 0800 hours.
677
00:37:35,962 --> 00:37:37,373
- Sorry, Buzz.
678
00:37:37,505 --> 00:37:40,668
They're gonna put that one down
as a crew failure.
679
00:38:00,445 --> 00:38:01,651
- Whoa, whoa.
680
00:38:01,738 --> 00:38:03,729
Hey, Buzz.
681
00:38:07,494 --> 00:38:08,700
- Where are you putting
our names?
682
00:38:08,828 --> 00:38:10,614
- [sighs]
683
00:38:10,705 --> 00:38:12,867
I'm not putting them on it.
684
00:38:12,999 --> 00:38:14,865
- You don't think that people
will want to remember
685
00:38:15,001 --> 00:38:16,787
the three guys who were destined
to die up there?
686
00:38:16,878 --> 00:38:18,710
- You've been
in the simulator too long.
687
00:38:18,838 --> 00:38:20,328
- Oh, you didn't hear
about today?
688
00:38:20,423 --> 00:38:22,255
Our commander
deliberately crashed.
689
00:38:22,383 --> 00:38:23,248
- And why would he do that?
690
00:38:23,384 --> 00:38:24,499
- I don't know.
691
00:38:24,594 --> 00:38:26,176
Why does he do anything?
692
00:38:26,262 --> 00:38:28,754
- You're making too much
noise out here.
693
00:38:30,975 --> 00:38:32,181
- I'm going to bed.
694
00:38:45,365 --> 00:38:46,776
- Something you want
to say to me, Buzz?
695
00:38:46,908 --> 00:38:47,773
- Why didn't you abort?
696
00:38:47,909 --> 00:38:48,899
- It was a simulation.
697
00:38:49,035 --> 00:38:51,117
- That's not an excuse.
698
00:38:51,246 --> 00:38:54,159
We have to get it right
every single time.
699
00:38:54,249 --> 00:38:56,160
- So do they.
700
00:38:56,251 --> 00:38:58,743
And on this occasion,
they messed up.
701
00:38:58,837 --> 00:39:00,578
- I told you to abort.
702
00:39:00,672 --> 00:39:03,755
- But they didn't.
703
00:39:03,883 --> 00:39:05,419
They heard the alarm.
704
00:39:07,595 --> 00:39:09,552
I know what we would have done
in that situation.
705
00:39:09,639 --> 00:39:11,425
I wanted to see
what they were gonna do.
706
00:39:11,516 --> 00:39:15,680
- So what exactly did we learn
from all of that?
707
00:39:17,939 --> 00:39:20,772
- That we are on our own
up there.
708
00:39:23,987 --> 00:39:25,102
I will see you in the morning.
709
00:39:28,032 --> 00:39:29,568
- Sorry I'm late.
710
00:39:29,659 --> 00:39:31,866
- You're already aware
of the discussion.
711
00:39:31,953 --> 00:39:34,320
- Yeah, Buzz or Neil.
712
00:39:34,455 --> 00:39:35,661
- Gene Aldrin's
been on the phone
713
00:39:35,790 --> 00:39:37,201
pressing his son's case.
714
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,579
- You're not gonna shut him up
in a hurry.
715
00:39:39,669 --> 00:39:41,285
- First guy out
will be a Lindbergh,
716
00:39:41,379 --> 00:39:44,792
worldwide fame
and recognition.
717
00:39:44,924 --> 00:39:46,790
He'll gonna have to shoulder
that responsibility
718
00:39:46,926 --> 00:39:47,916
the rest of his natural life.
719
00:39:48,011 --> 00:39:50,252
- Neil's quiet,
720
00:39:50,346 --> 00:39:52,508
calm, resolute.
721
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,631
Neil's what it says
on the label.
722
00:39:54,767 --> 00:39:57,384
Buzz is--well, you never know
what you're gonna get
723
00:39:57,478 --> 00:40:00,311
from one day to the next.
724
00:40:00,398 --> 00:40:01,934
- Yeah, they're making us
go to the moon.
725
00:40:02,025 --> 00:40:04,187
We don't need any trouble
on top of that.
726
00:40:06,821 --> 00:40:09,153
- Well, Buzz wants it more.
727
00:40:09,282 --> 00:40:10,943
- Which is a reason
not to give it to him.
728
00:40:13,661 --> 00:40:14,651
We all know who we want,
729
00:40:14,746 --> 00:40:16,953
so why are we wasting
our time here?
730
00:40:27,926 --> 00:40:30,042
- Neil's first out.
731
00:40:44,233 --> 00:40:48,022
- How's Neil feeling
about the upcoming mission?
732
00:40:48,154 --> 00:40:50,270
Has he talked to you about
what he's taking up with him?
733
00:40:50,365 --> 00:40:51,275
- Kids okay?
734
00:40:51,366 --> 00:40:52,697
- How do you feel about--
735
00:40:52,825 --> 00:40:55,283
- What's he going to say
on the moon, Mrs. Armstrong?
736
00:40:55,370 --> 00:40:57,202
- Get inside.
737
00:40:57,288 --> 00:40:58,574
Hurry up.
738
00:40:58,706 --> 00:41:02,540
- Are you worried about
the return journey, Janet?
739
00:41:02,627 --> 00:41:04,618
[blender whirring]
740
00:41:11,886 --> 00:41:14,093
- The flowers, the house,
the food, everything.
741
00:41:14,222 --> 00:41:15,428
- I think
there's some lemon spray
742
00:41:15,556 --> 00:41:16,796
you can get for that.
743
00:41:16,891 --> 00:41:18,928
- I hear you and Neil are going
to the lake this weekend.
744
00:41:19,060 --> 00:41:20,926
- Oh, we love it there.
745
00:41:21,062 --> 00:41:22,177
- Mm.
746
00:41:22,271 --> 00:41:24,683
I'll probably get Buzz
to do some chores.
747
00:41:24,774 --> 00:41:27,186
Dishwasher's
on the blink again.
748
00:41:29,612 --> 00:41:30,898
- How about you, Pat?
749
00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:34,489
- I think Mike and I are just
gonna relax with the kids,
750
00:41:34,575 --> 00:41:35,906
try and take his mind
off things.
751
00:41:37,245 --> 00:41:38,110
- Is he worried?
752
00:41:38,246 --> 00:41:39,907
- Would he tell me
if he was?
753
00:41:40,039 --> 00:41:41,905
- What are the odds?
754
00:41:43,751 --> 00:41:44,912
- I think
what scares him most
755
00:41:45,044 --> 00:41:47,081
is the prospect
of coming back alone.
756
00:41:50,258 --> 00:41:51,293
Sorry.
757
00:41:51,426 --> 00:41:52,666
I shouldn't
have said that.
758
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,171
- Why avoid it?
759
00:41:54,262 --> 00:41:55,969
If any of our husbands
are gonna come back,
760
00:41:56,097 --> 00:41:57,178
it's gonna be yours.
761
00:41:59,642 --> 00:42:01,007
- Did either of you
see the letter?
762
00:42:01,102 --> 00:42:03,343
Both: What letter?
763
00:42:03,438 --> 00:42:04,553
- "Fate has ordained
764
00:42:04,647 --> 00:42:05,933
"that the men
who went to the moon
765
00:42:06,065 --> 00:42:07,897
"to explore in peace
766
00:42:07,984 --> 00:42:11,773
"will stay on the moon
to rest in peace.
767
00:42:11,863 --> 00:42:15,151
"These brave men,
Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin,
768
00:42:15,283 --> 00:42:18,401
know that there is no hope
for their recovery."
769
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,616
And this is the first
I'll hear of it?
770
00:42:22,749 --> 00:42:24,331
- Apparently,
the president will call you
771
00:42:24,459 --> 00:42:25,949
before making the statement.
772
00:42:26,044 --> 00:42:27,125
- Nixon?
Nixon will call me?
773
00:42:27,211 --> 00:42:29,327
- Mm-hmm, so they tell me.
774
00:42:29,464 --> 00:42:31,455
- Wow.
775
00:42:33,468 --> 00:42:34,924
I mean, I hope he doesn't.
776
00:42:36,554 --> 00:42:40,013
- They want to be prepared
for every eventuality.
777
00:42:40,141 --> 00:42:41,131
That's all this is.
778
00:42:42,727 --> 00:42:45,310
- Neil, why didn't you
show me this before?
779
00:42:45,396 --> 00:42:49,060
- It doesn't exist
unless they need it.
780
00:42:53,112 --> 00:42:55,103
- I think you should talk
to the boys,
781
00:42:55,198 --> 00:42:56,404
explain what's happening.
782
00:42:56,491 --> 00:42:57,822
- I don't think
they'll understand.
783
00:42:57,950 --> 00:42:59,532
- They need to know
that there's a good chance
784
00:42:59,660 --> 00:43:00,991
their father
might not come home.
785
00:43:06,292 --> 00:43:08,750
- What's it made of?
786
00:43:08,836 --> 00:43:10,497
- That's a good question, Rick.
787
00:43:10,588 --> 00:43:12,374
Hopefully
we're about to find out.
788
00:43:14,342 --> 00:43:16,424
- Will it make you sick?
789
00:43:16,511 --> 00:43:18,502
- Why do you ask that?
790
00:43:18,596 --> 00:43:21,588
- Mom said
when you come home,
791
00:43:21,682 --> 00:43:23,468
you'll have to stay
in a special room.
792
00:43:23,559 --> 00:43:26,847
- Yeah, it's called
a lunar receiving laboratory.
793
00:43:26,938 --> 00:43:29,100
And it's just a precaution.
794
00:43:29,190 --> 00:43:30,396
If there are germs up there,
795
00:43:30,525 --> 00:43:32,732
it's important
that we don't spread them.
796
00:43:32,860 --> 00:43:34,021
It's like when
you get a cold.
797
00:43:34,112 --> 00:43:37,355
We keep you off school
for a few days.
798
00:43:37,490 --> 00:43:42,075
- What if you like it up there
and don't want to come home?
799
00:43:44,956 --> 00:43:47,368
- Living on the moon
is impossible.
800
00:43:49,043 --> 00:43:50,158
But I'm not gonna lie
to you.
801
00:43:51,879 --> 00:43:54,371
There is a chance that I won't
be able to come back.
802
00:43:54,507 --> 00:43:56,464
- Why not?
803
00:43:57,927 --> 00:44:01,136
- Well, because nobody's
ever done this before.
804
00:44:01,222 --> 00:44:02,553
Things can go wrong.
805
00:44:05,059 --> 00:44:07,221
But they can also go right.
806
00:44:07,311 --> 00:44:09,427
So if it's at all possible,
I will be coming home.
807
00:44:09,564 --> 00:44:11,475
I promise.
808
00:44:11,566 --> 00:44:13,773
- My friends all think
you're a hero.
809
00:44:15,653 --> 00:44:18,020
- Well, not yet.
810
00:44:20,158 --> 00:44:21,740
- For Neil Armstrong.
811
00:44:21,868 --> 00:44:24,576
Have you decided on something
suitably historical
812
00:44:24,662 --> 00:44:27,074
and memorable to say
when you perform
813
00:44:27,206 --> 00:44:29,789
this symbolic act
of stepping down onto the moon
814
00:44:29,917 --> 00:44:31,078
for the first time?
815
00:44:31,169 --> 00:44:32,159
- No, I haven't.
816
00:44:32,253 --> 00:44:34,039
- A little louder, please.
817
00:44:34,130 --> 00:44:35,370
- No, I haven't.
818
00:44:35,464 --> 00:44:40,083
- Will you take personal
mementos to the moon, Neil?
819
00:44:40,219 --> 00:44:44,463
- Well, if I had a choice,
I would take more fuel.
820
00:44:44,599 --> 00:44:45,930
- Will you lose
your private life
821
00:44:46,058 --> 00:44:47,969
after this achievement?
822
00:44:48,102 --> 00:44:50,594
- [sighs]
823
00:44:50,730 --> 00:44:53,222
I think that a private life
is possible.
824
00:44:53,316 --> 00:44:56,274
But, well, if it isn't,
825
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,601
then it would have been
a fair exchange.
826
00:44:58,738 --> 00:45:01,605
- Is there any philosophical
reason for going to the moon?
827
00:45:03,826 --> 00:45:10,789
- I think it's in human nature
to face challenges.
828
00:45:10,875 --> 00:45:14,869
We're required
to do these things just as--
829
00:45:14,962 --> 00:45:17,954
Well, just as salmon
swim upstream.
830
00:45:18,090 --> 00:45:21,799
- Houston,
you are go for staging.
831
00:45:21,886 --> 00:45:25,629
- At three minutes downrange,
70 miles, 43 miles high.
832
00:45:25,723 --> 00:45:28,806
Velocity 9,300 feet per second.
833
00:45:29,977 --> 00:45:32,344
- Inboard cutoff.
- Inboard cutoff.
834
00:45:48,829 --> 00:45:50,991
- Staging.
835
00:45:51,123 --> 00:45:52,613
And ignition.
836
00:45:52,708 --> 00:45:54,995
[rockets whooshing]
837
00:45:55,127 --> 00:45:56,868
- 11, Houston.
Thrust is go, all engines.
838
00:45:57,004 --> 00:45:58,995
You're looking good.
839
00:45:59,131 --> 00:46:02,669
- Roger.
You're loud and clear, Houston.
840
00:46:08,641 --> 00:46:12,054
- The Apollo 11 launch
as seen from the Champs-Elysées.
841
00:46:12,186 --> 00:46:14,553
[cheers and applause]
842
00:46:14,689 --> 00:46:17,977
- The moment of takeoff
is now.
843
00:46:20,027 --> 00:46:22,359
[applause]
844
00:46:22,446 --> 00:46:25,154
- The first critical phase
of this flight is over.
845
00:46:25,241 --> 00:46:28,984
Apollo 11 is on the way,
riding that pillar of flame
846
00:46:29,078 --> 00:46:35,120
from the Saturn 4 into the skies
250,000 miles away,
847
00:46:35,209 --> 00:46:37,667
where the moon is waiting.
848
00:46:37,753 --> 00:46:40,120
The flight could take
three days.
849
00:46:43,134 --> 00:46:44,124
- Tower's gone.
850
00:46:44,218 --> 00:46:45,208
- Roger, tower.
851
00:46:52,226 --> 00:46:55,093
- Yeah, they finally gave me
a window to look out.
852
00:46:57,189 --> 00:46:58,896
- Apollo 11,
this is Houston.
853
00:46:59,025 --> 00:47:01,938
You are confirmed go
for orbit.
854
00:47:02,069 --> 00:47:03,651
- How does zero G feel?
855
00:47:03,738 --> 00:47:08,027
Your head feel funny,
anybody?
856
00:47:08,117 --> 00:47:09,448
Anything like that?
857
00:47:09,577 --> 00:47:12,569
- It just feels like we're
floating around upside down.
858
00:47:12,705 --> 00:47:15,663
- I didn't feel that.
859
00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:17,081
- Look at that horizon.
860
00:47:17,209 --> 00:47:19,200
Get a picture of that.
861
00:47:21,505 --> 00:47:23,746
- Anybody seen a camera
floating loose?
862
00:47:23,883 --> 00:47:24,964
It couldn't have gone far.
863
00:47:25,092 --> 00:47:27,550
He's a big son of a gun.
864
00:47:27,636 --> 00:47:29,798
Hey, I see a pen
floating loose down here.
865
00:47:29,930 --> 00:47:32,763
Anybody lost a ballpoint pen?
866
00:47:32,892 --> 00:47:34,758
- Is it a ballpoint
or a felt tip?
867
00:47:34,894 --> 00:47:36,430
- Let me see.
868
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:37,760
Felt tip.
869
00:47:37,855 --> 00:47:40,187
- I'll take it
if you don't want it.
870
00:47:40,274 --> 00:47:41,730
- You haven't seen
the Hasselblad
871
00:47:41,817 --> 00:47:43,774
anywhere down below, Buzz?
872
00:47:43,861 --> 00:47:46,444
- No, I already looked.
873
00:47:46,572 --> 00:47:48,563
- Ah, there it is.
874
00:47:54,955 --> 00:47:59,449
It looks like trees and forests
or something.
875
00:47:59,585 --> 00:48:02,919
Snow and trees,
fantastic.
876
00:48:12,390 --> 00:48:14,301
- Apollo 11, Apollo 11.
877
00:48:14,433 --> 00:48:16,800
This is Houston
through ARIA 4.
878
00:48:16,936 --> 00:48:18,927
Radio check, over.
879
00:48:24,568 --> 00:48:27,185
- Okay.
880
00:48:27,321 --> 00:48:29,779
5925.
881
00:48:29,865 --> 00:48:33,449
- Saturn 4 will place
the spacecraft
882
00:48:33,536 --> 00:48:37,370
into a hundred-mile orbit
around the Earth.
883
00:48:37,498 --> 00:48:40,160
Roughly two orbits later,
884
00:48:40,251 --> 00:48:43,835
the last stage of the Saturn 4
will reignite,
885
00:48:43,921 --> 00:48:45,537
placing the spacecraft
on a trajectory
886
00:48:45,673 --> 00:48:47,630
that will lead it
out to the moon.
887
00:48:47,716 --> 00:48:51,300
- Apollo 11, this is Houston.
888
00:48:51,387 --> 00:48:53,674
Slightly less
than one minute to ignition,
889
00:48:53,806 --> 00:48:55,763
and everything is go.
890
00:48:55,850 --> 00:49:00,560
- When you feel it,
that's when it is.
891
00:49:03,315 --> 00:49:04,180
- There we go.
892
00:49:04,316 --> 00:49:07,854
Thrust.
893
00:49:07,987 --> 00:49:09,193
- Ignition.
894
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,191
Call it at 15.
895
00:49:11,282 --> 00:49:13,148
- Okay.
896
00:49:13,242 --> 00:49:16,701
- We confirm ignition,
and the thrust is go.
897
00:49:16,829 --> 00:49:19,696
- Threshold's good.
898
00:49:21,208 --> 00:49:22,915
- Apollo 11,
this is Houston.
899
00:49:23,043 --> 00:49:25,375
At one minute, trajectory
and guidance looks good,
900
00:49:25,504 --> 00:49:27,245
and the stage is good.
901
00:49:27,381 --> 00:49:29,167
- Apollo 11, roger.
902
00:49:29,258 --> 00:49:30,965
- Don't look out window 1.
903
00:49:31,051 --> 00:49:32,633
If it looks like
what I see out window 5,
904
00:49:32,720 --> 00:49:34,677
you don't want
to look at it.
905
00:49:34,763 --> 00:49:38,097
- Damn, there's sparks
flying out there.
906
00:49:38,225 --> 00:49:40,387
- I wouldn't worry
too much about that.
907
00:49:40,519 --> 00:49:44,763
- And the velocity
exceeds 29,000 feet per second,
908
00:49:44,899 --> 00:49:46,355
building up.
909
00:49:46,442 --> 00:49:50,106
Present altitude,
to 115 nautical miles,
910
00:49:50,237 --> 00:49:53,070
35,000 feet per second.
911
00:49:53,199 --> 00:49:54,234
Cutoff.
912
00:49:56,994 --> 00:49:59,531
Apollo 11,
this is Houston.
913
00:49:59,622 --> 00:50:02,080
You're go for separation, over.
914
00:50:02,208 --> 00:50:05,291
- Okay, Houston,
we are ready to separate.
915
00:50:09,924 --> 00:50:12,916
- Okay.
916
00:50:13,052 --> 00:50:15,043
Thrusting.
917
00:50:34,823 --> 00:50:37,611
Look at that trash.
918
00:50:43,123 --> 00:50:44,488
- Hey, Houston, Apollo 11.
919
00:50:44,625 --> 00:50:47,492
All 12 latches are locked.
920
00:50:47,628 --> 00:50:48,993
- Uh, roger, 11.
This is Houston.
921
00:50:49,129 --> 00:50:51,291
Understand 12 latches locked.
922
00:50:51,423 --> 00:50:53,915
- Separation complete.
923
00:50:56,178 --> 00:50:58,590
Look at that SLA panel.
924
00:50:58,681 --> 00:51:01,173
She's darn well unbelievable.
925
00:51:03,519 --> 00:51:05,009
- Hey, Houston, Apollo 11.
926
00:51:05,145 --> 00:51:09,355
That Saturn gave us
a magnificent ride.
927
00:51:09,483 --> 00:51:11,269
- Roger, 11.
We'll pass that on.
928
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,443
And it certainly looks like
you're well on your way now.
929
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:16,612
- Anybody ready
for some music?
930
00:51:16,699 --> 00:51:18,485
- That's good for me,
Commander.
931
00:51:18,576 --> 00:51:19,987
- Did you bring
anything good?
932
00:51:21,996 --> 00:51:23,157
- Oh, yeah.
933
00:51:37,428 --> 00:51:39,840
- This is Apollo control
at 13 hours, 27 minutes
934
00:51:39,972 --> 00:51:42,009
into the flight of Apollo 11.
935
00:51:43,434 --> 00:51:45,266
The spacecraft now traveling
936
00:51:45,352 --> 00:51:48,686
at a speed of about
5,000 miles an hour.
937
00:51:50,399 --> 00:51:52,356
And it's at a distance
938
00:51:52,484 --> 00:51:56,352
of 63,880 nautical miles
from Earth.
939
00:51:59,366 --> 00:52:01,903
Our flight surgeon
reported a short while ago
940
00:52:02,036 --> 00:52:03,447
that Mike Collins appeared
941
00:52:03,537 --> 00:52:06,529
to be sleeping soundly
at this time.
942
00:52:06,665 --> 00:52:09,032
Biomedical data
on the other two crewmen...
943
00:52:09,168 --> 00:52:10,078
[flatulence]
944
00:52:10,210 --> 00:52:12,497
Indicates
that they are still awake.
945
00:52:12,588 --> 00:52:14,625
- Anybody else think
we're getting too much hydrogen
946
00:52:14,715 --> 00:52:17,002
in our drinking water?
947
00:52:17,092 --> 00:52:18,503
- We should just cut
the thrusters
948
00:52:18,594 --> 00:52:20,335
and do the job ourselves.
949
00:52:20,429 --> 00:52:21,965
[flatulence]
950
00:52:22,056 --> 00:52:25,048
[laughter]
951
00:52:33,317 --> 00:52:34,227
- How far out are we?
952
00:52:34,318 --> 00:52:35,228
- Stand by.
953
00:52:35,361 --> 00:52:36,567
I will give it to you exactly.
954
00:52:36,654 --> 00:52:38,895
It looks like around 130,000,
but stand by.
955
00:52:40,741 --> 00:52:44,905
- Okay.
- 125,200 miles.
956
00:52:45,037 --> 00:52:49,952
And you're traveling
at 4,486 feet per second.
957
00:52:50,084 --> 00:52:51,415
- Pretty far and pretty slow.
958
00:52:51,502 --> 00:52:52,992
Just past halfway.
959
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:56,249
- 11, Houston.
960
00:52:56,340 --> 00:52:57,455
If you could comply,
961
00:52:57,591 --> 00:52:59,582
we'd like to see
some smiling faces up there.
962
00:52:59,718 --> 00:53:01,254
If you could give us
some interior views,
963
00:53:01,345 --> 00:53:03,256
I'm sure everybody
would like to see you, over.
964
00:53:05,432 --> 00:53:07,048
That's big Mike Collins there.
965
00:53:07,142 --> 00:53:08,598
- Hello, there, sports fans.
966
00:53:08,686 --> 00:53:09,847
You got a little bit of me,
967
00:53:09,937 --> 00:53:11,473
plus Neil
is in the center couch,
968
00:53:11,605 --> 00:53:14,097
and Buzz is doing
the camera work at this time.
969
00:53:14,233 --> 00:53:15,723
- And, Mike,
you're coming in five-by.
970
00:53:15,818 --> 00:53:17,434
- I would have put on
a coat and tie
971
00:53:17,528 --> 00:53:19,189
if I'd known about this
ahead of time.
972
00:53:20,447 --> 00:53:22,563
- A real good picture
we're getting here.
973
00:53:24,702 --> 00:53:28,036
Neil is coming in five-by
there, 11.
974
00:53:28,122 --> 00:53:30,955
Mike, see you
in the background.
975
00:53:31,083 --> 00:53:32,790
And Neil's standing
on his head again.
976
00:53:32,918 --> 00:53:34,659
He's trying to make me nervous.
977
00:53:34,795 --> 00:53:37,958
He's disappearing
up into the tunnel, of course,
978
00:53:38,048 --> 00:53:40,130
as he would
going into the lunar module,
979
00:53:40,217 --> 00:53:42,379
only backwards.
980
00:53:44,888 --> 00:53:46,629
Yeah, those are Buzz's
two star charts
981
00:53:46,765 --> 00:53:49,052
that he is using right now
as sun shades
982
00:53:49,143 --> 00:53:52,852
over the right-hand window,
window number 5.
983
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,431
- If we can get some
of the wires untangled here,
984
00:53:56,525 --> 00:53:58,311
we'll give you
a demonstration
985
00:53:58,444 --> 00:54:01,152
of how easy
push-ups are up here.
986
00:54:04,241 --> 00:54:06,653
When it gets pretty hard
doing it that way,
987
00:54:06,785 --> 00:54:12,497
well, we just roll around
and do it the other way.
988
00:54:12,583 --> 00:54:15,826
- You just roll over
and do it the other way.
989
00:54:15,919 --> 00:54:17,535
- 11, you got
a pretty big audience.
990
00:54:17,671 --> 00:54:19,002
Is live in the US.
991
00:54:19,131 --> 00:54:21,793
It's going live to Japan,
Western Europe,
992
00:54:21,884 --> 00:54:23,841
and much of South America.
993
00:54:25,554 --> 00:54:27,044
- Apollo 11,
this is Houston.
994
00:54:27,181 --> 00:54:28,922
How do you read?
995
00:54:32,394 --> 00:54:36,308
- The Gold stone station
reports a very weak signal.
996
00:54:38,192 --> 00:54:39,523
- Buzz, you got
the flashlight?
997
00:54:39,610 --> 00:54:40,691
- Yeah.
998
00:54:40,778 --> 00:54:42,769
- Thanks, man.
999
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,076
- Anyone else see that?
1000
00:54:59,213 --> 00:55:01,045
Window 1.
1001
00:55:08,430 --> 00:55:11,013
- Let's have a look at that
through the monocular.
1002
00:55:30,077 --> 00:55:31,408
- How far away is that?
1003
00:55:31,495 --> 00:55:36,240
- At a guess,
I'd put it at 100 miles.
1004
00:55:36,333 --> 00:55:37,539
Not approaching.
1005
00:55:37,626 --> 00:55:39,492
- Anyone report a sighting
like this before?
1006
00:55:39,586 --> 00:55:41,372
- Nothing on 8, 9, or 10.
1007
00:55:41,463 --> 00:55:42,999
- Are you sure?
1008
00:55:43,090 --> 00:55:44,956
- I think a memo like that
would have stood out.
1009
00:55:45,092 --> 00:55:46,924
Don't you, Buzz?
1010
00:55:50,472 --> 00:55:51,803
- We should tell them.
1011
00:55:51,932 --> 00:55:53,764
- Whoa, whoa, hang on a minute.
Tell them what?
1012
00:55:53,851 --> 00:55:55,933
- That we have
an unidentified flying object.
1013
00:55:56,019 --> 00:55:58,260
- I don't think we should use
those words, Buzz.
1014
00:55:58,397 --> 00:56:00,729
- Okay, what is
the most likely explanation?
1015
00:56:00,816 --> 00:56:02,932
- Oh, let them figure that out.
Just tell them.
1016
00:56:03,026 --> 00:56:04,937
- Could be the third stage.
- That's possible.
1017
00:56:05,028 --> 00:56:07,190
- Well, then we need
to find that out, don't we?
1018
00:56:10,742 --> 00:56:12,107
- Uh, Houston, Apollo 11.
1019
00:56:12,244 --> 00:56:14,201
- Go ahead, 11, over.
1020
00:56:14,288 --> 00:56:17,201
- Do you have any idea where
the S4B is with respect to us?
1021
00:56:17,291 --> 00:56:19,282
- Stand by.
1022
00:56:21,587 --> 00:56:24,579
- If it's not the third stage,
what do we say next?
1023
00:56:24,673 --> 00:56:26,505
- Neil?
1024
00:56:26,633 --> 00:56:28,123
- Well, why make them
aware of it
1025
00:56:28,218 --> 00:56:29,549
if there's nothing
they can do?
1026
00:56:29,636 --> 00:56:31,297
- Oh, we can't keep this
from anyone.
1027
00:56:31,430 --> 00:56:32,636
They'd be interested to know.
1028
00:56:32,723 --> 00:56:33,963
- Yeah, that's what worries me.
1029
00:56:34,099 --> 00:56:35,555
What, you want this
taking up resources
1030
00:56:35,642 --> 00:56:36,848
that could be looking out
for us?
1031
00:56:36,977 --> 00:56:38,092
- He has a point.
1032
00:56:38,186 --> 00:56:39,642
- I mean, right now,
it's not close to us.
1033
00:56:39,771 --> 00:56:41,637
It's not approaching us.
It's not affecting us.
1034
00:56:41,732 --> 00:56:43,439
- Apollo 11, Houston.
- Go ahead, Houston.
1035
00:56:43,525 --> 00:56:46,233
- The S4B is about
6,000 nautical miles
1036
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,526
from you now, over.
1037
00:56:47,654 --> 00:56:50,066
- 6,000 miles.
Okay, Houston, thank you.
1038
00:56:50,157 --> 00:56:52,945
- Well, at least we know
what it isn't.
1039
00:56:53,035 --> 00:56:57,780
- We all saw those panels
come away.
1040
00:56:57,873 --> 00:57:00,160
There's no tracking device
on those.
1041
00:57:00,292 --> 00:57:04,877
- Could be the panel.
1042
00:57:05,005 --> 00:57:06,587
- Buzz?
1043
00:57:08,216 --> 00:57:12,210
- If that's what you say it is,
Commander.
1044
00:57:17,851 --> 00:57:20,343
- We will lose signal
with Apollo 11
1045
00:57:20,437 --> 00:57:24,681
at 75 hours,
41 minutes, 23 seconds
1046
00:57:24,775 --> 00:57:28,689
as it goes behind the moon.
1047
00:57:28,779 --> 00:57:30,144
- If the crew
does nothing,
1048
00:57:30,238 --> 00:57:32,195
they will loop around the moon
and return
1049
00:57:32,324 --> 00:57:35,692
on a free return trajectory
back to the Earth.
1050
00:57:35,827 --> 00:57:38,194
However, at the back side
of the moon,
1051
00:57:38,288 --> 00:57:41,406
if things are as we expect,
1052
00:57:41,541 --> 00:57:44,033
the crew will ignite
the service propulsion system
1053
00:57:44,169 --> 00:57:47,787
on the spacecraft
and place themselves
1054
00:57:47,881 --> 00:57:51,715
into an elliptical
60-mile by 170-mile orbit
1055
00:57:51,843 --> 00:57:53,333
around the moon.
1056
00:58:07,150 --> 00:58:08,936
- I don't know
if we're 60 miles or not.
1057
00:58:09,069 --> 00:58:10,559
But at least we haven't hit
that mother.
1058
00:58:10,654 --> 00:58:13,112
- Look at that.
Look at that, 169.6 by 60.9.
1059
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:14,696
- Beautiful, beautiful,
beautiful.
1060
00:58:14,783 --> 00:58:16,365
You want to write that down
or something, Buzz?
1061
00:58:16,451 --> 00:58:18,237
Write it down
just for the hell of it.
1062
00:58:18,370 --> 00:58:20,407
170 by 60, like gangbusters.
1063
00:58:20,539 --> 00:58:21,904
- It's a beautiful burn.
1064
00:58:21,999 --> 00:58:23,581
- We only missed by a couple
of tenths of a mile.
1065
00:58:23,709 --> 00:58:24,574
- Hello, moon.
1066
00:58:24,710 --> 00:58:26,166
- Oh, give me the camera.
1067
00:58:26,253 --> 00:58:28,415
There's a huge, magnificent
crater over there.
1068
00:58:28,505 --> 00:58:29,916
Look at that big beauty.
1069
00:58:30,048 --> 00:58:31,334
Want to take a look
at that, Neil?
1070
00:58:31,425 --> 00:58:32,586
- Yeah, yeah, I see him.
1071
00:58:32,676 --> 00:58:33,916
- Don't you want to get
the Earth coming up?
1072
00:58:34,052 --> 00:58:35,087
It's gonna be nine minutes.
1073
00:58:35,220 --> 00:58:36,551
- Oh, let's get
some pictures here first.
1074
00:58:36,638 --> 00:58:37,878
- You don't want to miss
that first one.
1075
00:58:37,973 --> 00:58:40,010
- We're gonna have
plenty of passes, Mike.
1076
00:58:40,100 --> 00:58:44,435
- Plenty of Earth rises,
I guess.
1077
00:58:44,521 --> 00:58:47,764
There's the biggest one yet.
God, it's huge.
1078
00:58:47,858 --> 00:58:49,974
It's so big, I can't even
get it in the window.
1079
00:58:50,110 --> 00:58:51,271
- There's a big mother
over here too.
1080
00:58:51,361 --> 00:58:52,317
- Come on, now, Buzz.
1081
00:58:52,446 --> 00:58:53,936
Don't refer to them
as big mothers.
1082
00:58:54,031 --> 00:58:56,113
Give them
some scientific name.
1083
00:58:56,241 --> 00:58:58,824
- Big mothers
are good enough for me.
1084
00:59:00,495 --> 00:59:02,702
- You guys are actually
gonna walk on that.
1085
00:59:10,839 --> 00:59:13,957
- It's one minute to loss
of signal, we've been told now.
1086
00:59:14,092 --> 00:59:16,333
I don't know whether
we're getting a transmission
1087
00:59:16,470 --> 00:59:18,381
from the spacecraft or not
at this moment.
1088
00:59:18,472 --> 00:59:20,588
- Apollo 11, Apollo 11,
1089
00:59:20,682 --> 00:59:23,299
this is Houston
broadcasting in the blind.
1090
00:59:23,435 --> 00:59:26,553
Request Omni Bravo,
if you read us.
1091
00:59:26,646 --> 00:59:30,105
Request Omni Bravo, out.
1092
00:59:30,192 --> 00:59:31,774
Apollo 11, this is Houston.
1093
00:59:31,860 --> 00:59:34,443
How do you read, over?
1094
00:59:34,529 --> 00:59:38,488
- We hear nothing but static
at this moment.
1095
00:59:38,575 --> 00:59:41,363
- Apollo 11, Apollo 11,
this is Houston.
1096
00:59:41,495 --> 00:59:42,656
Do you read, over?
1097
00:59:42,788 --> 00:59:46,156
- We now have had confirmation
of loss of signal
1098
00:59:46,291 --> 00:59:48,623
from the Apollo 11.
1099
00:59:48,710 --> 00:59:52,999
The Apollo 11 is, at the moment,
on the far side of the moon.
1100
00:59:59,596 --> 01:00:01,007
- Houston, Apollo 11.
1101
01:00:01,098 --> 01:00:04,932
[static crackling]
1102
01:00:05,018 --> 01:00:06,929
Houston, Apollo 11, over.
1103
01:00:07,020 --> 01:00:11,264
[static crackling]
1104
01:00:11,358 --> 01:00:13,269
- Where are we, Mike?
1105
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,522
- Well, I can't see
a damned thing,
1106
01:00:15,654 --> 01:00:17,440
and no one's answering,
1107
01:00:17,531 --> 01:00:20,649
so I guess there's only
one place we can be.
1108
01:00:22,953 --> 01:00:25,866
- We're approaching one of the
critical moments of this flight.
1109
01:00:25,997 --> 01:00:28,614
Just 2 1/2 minutes
from now,
1110
01:00:28,708 --> 01:00:31,450
the spacecraft
should again come around
1111
01:00:31,545 --> 01:00:33,456
the near side of the moon.
1112
01:00:33,547 --> 01:00:37,415
At that time, the command module
and the lunar module
1113
01:00:37,551 --> 01:00:39,041
will begin undocking,
1114
01:00:39,177 --> 01:00:40,542
beginning the maneuvers which,
1115
01:00:40,637 --> 01:00:42,799
in 2 hours and 32 minutes
from now,
1116
01:00:42,889 --> 01:00:46,928
should place it on the surface
of the moon.
1117
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,596
- Apollo 11, this is Houston.
1118
01:00:48,728 --> 01:00:50,765
Radio check, over.
1119
01:00:50,897 --> 01:00:55,562
- Houston, this is Apollo 11.
1120
01:00:55,694 --> 01:01:02,862
- Roger, we're copying you
about five by two, very weak.
1121
01:01:02,951 --> 01:01:05,568
- Anything interesting
in the papers for us today?
1122
01:01:05,662 --> 01:01:08,199
- It looks like
it's gonna be impossible
1123
01:01:08,290 --> 01:01:10,156
to get away from the fact
that you guys
1124
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:13,584
are dominating all the news
back here on Earth.
1125
01:01:13,712 --> 01:01:15,248
- Anything happening
in sports?
1126
01:01:15,338 --> 01:01:17,955
- Say again.
- Ignore.
1127
01:01:18,091 --> 01:01:21,254
- Even Pravda in Russia
is headlining the mission
1128
01:01:21,344 --> 01:01:24,757
and calls Neil
the czar of the ship.
1129
01:01:24,848 --> 01:01:27,431
I think maybe they got
the wrong mission.
1130
01:01:29,060 --> 01:01:32,473
- West Germany has declared
Monday to be Apollo day.
1131
01:01:32,606 --> 01:01:36,770
Schoolchildren in Bavaria
have been given the day off.
1132
01:01:36,902 --> 01:01:38,609
And in Italy,
Pope Paul VI has arranged
1133
01:01:38,737 --> 01:01:41,604
for a special color TV circuit
at his summer residence
1134
01:01:41,698 --> 01:01:43,564
in order to watch you,
1135
01:01:43,658 --> 01:01:46,116
even though Italian television
is still black-and-white.
1136
01:01:49,456 --> 01:01:51,367
- Back here in Houston,
1137
01:01:51,458 --> 01:01:54,291
Mike Junior was quoted
as replying, "Yeah,"
1138
01:01:54,377 --> 01:01:55,742
when somebody asked him
if his daddy
1139
01:01:55,837 --> 01:01:58,124
was gonna be in history.
1140
01:01:58,215 --> 01:02:01,128
Then after a short pause,
he asked,
1141
01:02:01,259 --> 01:02:04,092
"What is history?"
1142
01:02:04,179 --> 01:02:06,546
- See you later.
1143
01:02:08,850 --> 01:02:10,966
- You cats
take it easy down there.
1144
01:02:11,102 --> 01:02:12,388
If I hear any huffing
and puffing,
1145
01:02:12,479 --> 01:02:15,221
I'm gonna start bitching
at you.
1146
01:02:19,194 --> 01:02:22,482
[hatch slams]
1147
01:02:24,407 --> 01:02:25,772
- From the day
of our birth,
1148
01:02:25,867 --> 01:02:28,655
we were meant
for this time and place.
1149
01:02:28,787 --> 01:02:33,657
Today we will land an American
on the moon.
1150
01:02:35,585 --> 01:02:37,326
Whatever happens here today,
1151
01:02:37,462 --> 01:02:40,454
I will stand behind
every decision you will make.
1152
01:02:40,548 --> 01:02:42,164
We came into this room
as a team,
1153
01:02:42,300 --> 01:02:44,166
and we will leave as a team.
1154
01:02:45,262 --> 01:02:48,095
Lock the control room doors.
1155
01:02:50,267 --> 01:02:54,852
From now on, no person
will leave or enter this room
1156
01:02:54,938 --> 01:02:58,056
until we have either landed,
we have crashed,
1157
01:02:58,191 --> 01:02:59,352
or we have aborted.
1158
01:02:59,442 --> 01:03:03,185
Those are the only three
outcomes from this time on.
1159
01:03:38,565 --> 01:03:39,680
- Think you've got
1160
01:03:39,774 --> 01:03:41,481
a fine-looking
flying machine there, Eagle,
1161
01:03:41,568 --> 01:03:44,936
despite the fact
you're upside down.
1162
01:03:45,071 --> 01:03:47,904
- Somebody's upside down.
1163
01:03:47,991 --> 01:03:49,857
- You guys take care.
1164
01:03:49,951 --> 01:03:52,443
- See you later.
1165
01:03:56,291 --> 01:03:57,531
- It's looking good.
1166
01:03:57,625 --> 01:03:58,706
You're still looking good.
1167
01:03:58,793 --> 01:04:00,909
Coming up
three minutes.
1168
01:04:02,547 --> 01:04:04,379
- Okay, we went by
the three-minute point early.
1169
01:04:04,466 --> 01:04:06,082
We're gonna land long.
1170
01:04:08,428 --> 01:04:10,715
- Rate of descent
is looking pretty good.
1171
01:04:10,805 --> 01:04:12,387
Altitude's right about on.
1172
01:04:12,474 --> 01:04:15,557
- Uh, Houston,
our position checks downrange
1173
01:04:15,643 --> 01:04:17,133
show us to be a little long.
1174
01:04:17,270 --> 01:04:18,431
- Roger, copy.
1175
01:04:18,521 --> 01:04:22,059
- AGS is showing two feet
per second greater rate.
1176
01:04:23,109 --> 01:04:25,396
- Mike, stand by.
1177
01:04:25,487 --> 01:04:27,694
- Altitude rate looks
right down the groove.
1178
01:04:29,032 --> 01:04:30,818
- Roger,
about three seconds long.
1179
01:04:30,950 --> 01:04:32,315
That's gonna put us
about three miles
1180
01:04:32,452 --> 01:04:33,817
out of the landing zone.
1181
01:04:34,913 --> 01:04:38,622
We are long.
1182
01:04:38,750 --> 01:04:41,708
- Delta-H is minus 2,900.
1183
01:04:41,795 --> 01:04:44,002
And we've got the Earth
straight out our front window.
1184
01:04:44,130 --> 01:04:47,168
- Sure enough.
1185
01:04:47,300 --> 01:04:49,337
- Houston, you're looking
at our Delta-H.
1186
01:04:49,469 --> 01:04:52,382
- That's affirmative.
1187
01:04:52,472 --> 01:04:56,966
- Program alarm.
- It's a 1202, 1202.
1188
01:04:57,102 --> 01:04:59,810
- What is it?
- I don't know.
1189
01:04:59,896 --> 01:05:04,641
- Give us a reading
on the 1202 program alarm.
1190
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:07,726
[electronic beeping]
1191
01:05:19,332 --> 01:05:22,370
- Roger, we got you.
We're going that alarm.
1192
01:05:22,502 --> 01:05:24,163
- Roger, 330.
1193
01:05:24,254 --> 01:05:26,040
- 6 plus 25, throttle down.
1194
01:05:26,172 --> 01:05:27,662
- Roger, copy.
1195
01:05:27,757 --> 01:05:28,963
- 6 plus 25.
1196
01:05:34,806 --> 01:05:35,887
- Same alarm.
1197
01:05:36,015 --> 01:05:38,632
It appears to come up
when we have a 1668 up.
1198
01:05:39,769 --> 01:05:41,555
- Roger, copy.
1199
01:05:41,688 --> 01:05:42,849
- Is it coming down?
1200
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:45,476
- Coming down beautifully.
1201
01:05:45,567 --> 01:05:47,524
- Roger, Delta-H
is looking good to us.
1202
01:05:53,366 --> 01:05:54,982
- Whoa.
1203
01:05:55,076 --> 01:05:56,908
- [chuckles]
Throttle down.
1204
01:05:57,036 --> 01:05:58,322
- Throttle down on time.
1205
01:05:58,413 --> 01:05:59,574
- Right.
1206
01:05:59,706 --> 01:06:01,367
- You can feel it in here
when it throttles down
1207
01:06:01,499 --> 01:06:03,786
better than the simulator.
1208
01:06:03,877 --> 01:06:05,709
- Okay, no flags.
1209
01:06:05,837 --> 01:06:08,204
RCS is good.
1210
01:06:08,298 --> 01:06:09,208
DPS is good.
1211
01:06:09,299 --> 01:06:11,040
Pressure okay.
1212
01:06:13,094 --> 01:06:16,712
- Looking great to us, Eagle.
1213
01:06:16,848 --> 01:06:18,213
Eagle, you're looking great.
1214
01:06:18,308 --> 01:06:20,219
Coming up
nine minutes.
1215
01:06:20,351 --> 01:06:22,092
- Manual altitude control
is good.
1216
01:06:22,228 --> 01:06:23,434
- Roger, copy.
1217
01:06:23,563 --> 01:06:25,395
Okay, all flight controllers,
go, no-go for landing.
1218
01:06:25,523 --> 01:06:26,388
Retro.
1219
01:06:26,524 --> 01:06:27,389
- FIDO.
1220
01:06:27,525 --> 01:06:28,390
- Guidance.
- Go.
1221
01:06:28,526 --> 01:06:29,391
- Control.
- Go.
1222
01:06:29,527 --> 01:06:30,392
- GNC.
1223
01:06:30,528 --> 01:06:31,393
- EECOM.
1224
01:06:31,529 --> 01:06:32,485
- Surgeon.
- Go.
1225
01:06:32,572 --> 01:06:33,778
- CAPCOM,
we're go for landing.
1226
01:06:33,907 --> 01:06:35,068
- You're go
for landing, over.
1227
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,862
- Roger, understand,
go for landing, 3,000 feet.
1228
01:06:37,952 --> 01:06:39,408
We have alarm, 1201.
1229
01:06:39,496 --> 01:06:40,611
-1201.
1230
01:06:40,747 --> 01:06:42,158
Roger, 1201 alarm.
1231
01:06:43,750 --> 01:06:44,990
We're go, same type.
1232
01:06:45,084 --> 01:06:46,119
We're go.
1233
01:06:49,589 --> 01:06:52,001
- 2,000 feet.
2,000 feet.
1234
01:06:54,010 --> 01:06:56,547
- Give me an LPD angle.
1235
01:06:56,638 --> 01:06:59,005
- Into the AGS.
1236
01:06:59,098 --> 01:07:00,384
47 degrees.
1237
01:07:00,475 --> 01:07:02,307
-47.
1238
01:07:02,435 --> 01:07:03,675
That's not a bad-looking area.
1239
01:07:06,773 --> 01:07:07,683
- 1,000 at 30.
1240
01:07:07,774 --> 01:07:08,935
- 1,000 at 30 is good.
1241
01:07:09,067 --> 01:07:10,273
What's LPD?
1242
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:11,771
- Eagle, looking great.
You're go.
1243
01:07:11,861 --> 01:07:14,899
- 35 degrees, 35 degrees.
1244
01:07:14,989 --> 01:07:19,108
750 coming down to 23.
1245
01:07:19,244 --> 01:07:20,905
700 feet.
1246
01:07:20,995 --> 01:07:22,235
21 down.
1247
01:07:22,330 --> 01:07:23,912
33 degrees.
1248
01:07:23,998 --> 01:07:25,238
- That's a pretty rocky area.
1249
01:07:26,292 --> 01:07:29,284
- 600 feet, down at 19.
1250
01:07:29,379 --> 01:07:30,710
- Okay, I'm going
to manual control.
1251
01:07:30,797 --> 01:07:32,287
- 400 feet, down at 9.
1252
01:07:32,382 --> 01:07:33,998
- No problem.
1253
01:07:34,133 --> 01:07:35,419
- 350 feet, down at 4.
1254
01:07:36,803 --> 01:07:39,636
330, 3 1/2 down.
1255
01:07:39,764 --> 01:07:40,799
300 feet down, 3 1/2.
1256
01:07:40,932 --> 01:07:42,593
47 forward.
1257
01:07:42,684 --> 01:07:44,140
1 1/2 down.
1258
01:07:44,269 --> 01:07:45,259
- How's the fuel?
1259
01:07:45,353 --> 01:07:47,640
- 8%.
- Okay.
1260
01:07:47,730 --> 01:07:50,472
This looks like
a good area here.
1261
01:07:50,567 --> 01:07:53,355
- I've got the shuttle
up there.
1262
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:56,524
Altitude, velocity lights.
1263
01:07:56,656 --> 01:07:59,318
8 1/2 down.
1264
01:07:59,450 --> 01:08:00,485
220 feet.
1265
01:08:00,618 --> 01:08:03,986
13 forward.
1266
01:08:04,122 --> 01:08:05,658
11 forward.
1267
01:08:05,790 --> 01:08:07,656
Coming down nicely.
1268
01:08:07,750 --> 01:08:09,081
- Gonna be right over
that crater.
1269
01:08:11,045 --> 01:08:13,628
- 200 feet, 4 1/2 down.
1270
01:08:13,715 --> 01:08:15,046
5 1/2 down.
1271
01:08:15,174 --> 01:08:16,335
- I got a good spot.
1272
01:08:18,011 --> 01:08:19,593
- 100 feet,
3 1/2 down.
1273
01:08:19,679 --> 01:08:21,636
9 forward.
1274
01:08:21,723 --> 01:08:23,339
5%.
1275
01:08:23,433 --> 01:08:26,095
Coming in nice.
1276
01:08:26,185 --> 01:08:27,892
Okay, 75 feet.
1277
01:08:28,021 --> 01:08:29,682
And it's looking good.
1278
01:08:29,814 --> 01:08:32,522
Down a half,
6 forward.
1279
01:08:32,609 --> 01:08:34,475
- 60 seconds.
1280
01:08:34,569 --> 01:08:38,187
- Light's on.
- 60 seconds fuel remaining.
1281
01:08:38,323 --> 01:08:39,688
- Down 2 1/2.
1282
01:08:42,368 --> 01:08:46,077
Forward, forward.
1283
01:08:46,205 --> 01:08:47,866
40 feet, down 2 1/2.
1284
01:08:47,999 --> 01:08:49,956
Picking up some dust.
1285
01:08:50,043 --> 01:08:52,125
30 feet, 2 1/2 down.
1286
01:08:52,211 --> 01:08:54,043
Great shadow.
1287
01:08:54,172 --> 01:08:55,879
4 forward.
1288
01:08:55,965 --> 01:08:58,798
4 forward,
drifting to the right a little.
1289
01:08:58,885 --> 01:09:00,341
Down a half.
1290
01:09:00,428 --> 01:09:02,010
- 30 seconds.
1291
01:09:02,096 --> 01:09:04,087
30 seconds fuel remaining.
1292
01:09:08,561 --> 01:09:09,892
- Contact light?
1293
01:09:10,021 --> 01:09:10,886
- Shut down.
1294
01:09:11,022 --> 01:09:12,558
- Engine stop.
ACA out of detent.
1295
01:09:12,649 --> 01:09:13,855
- Out of detent. Auto.
1296
01:09:13,941 --> 01:09:15,181
- Mode control, both auto.
1297
01:09:15,276 --> 01:09:17,187
Descent engine command
override off.
1298
01:09:17,278 --> 01:09:18,768
Engine arm off.
- Engine arms off.
1299
01:09:18,905 --> 01:09:20,987
- We copy you down, Eagle.
1300
01:09:21,074 --> 01:09:24,362
- Houston, uh,
1301
01:09:24,452 --> 01:09:25,783
Tranquility Base here.
1302
01:09:25,912 --> 01:09:27,698
The Eagle has landed.
1303
01:09:27,789 --> 01:09:30,577
- Roger, Tranquility.
We copy you on the ground.
1304
01:09:30,708 --> 01:09:32,449
You got a bunch of guys
about to turn blue.
1305
01:09:32,585 --> 01:09:33,916
We're breathing again.
Thanks a lot.
1306
01:09:34,045 --> 01:09:36,082
- Thank you.
1307
01:09:36,214 --> 01:09:37,921
- Oh, boy.
1308
01:09:38,007 --> 01:09:39,418
- Thank you.
1309
01:09:39,509 --> 01:09:41,250
You're looking good here.
1310
01:09:41,386 --> 01:09:42,968
- Mm.
1311
01:09:43,096 --> 01:09:45,758
- As he said,
"The Eagle has landed,"
1312
01:09:45,848 --> 01:09:47,555
words that are due to live
1313
01:09:47,642 --> 01:09:50,430
in the history books
for evermore.
1314
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,103
- We'll get to the details
of what's around here,
1315
01:09:53,189 --> 01:09:56,147
but it looks like a collection
of just about every variety
1316
01:09:56,275 --> 01:09:58,357
of shapes, angularity,
1317
01:09:58,444 --> 01:10:00,276
granularity,
1318
01:10:00,405 --> 01:10:02,612
about every variety of rock
you could find.
1319
01:10:02,740 --> 01:10:03,946
[laughs]
1320
01:10:04,033 --> 01:10:08,152
The colors, well, it varies
1321
01:10:08,287 --> 01:10:09,948
pretty much depending
on how you're looking
1322
01:10:10,081 --> 01:10:12,118
relative
to the zero phase point.
1323
01:10:12,250 --> 01:10:13,285
There doesn't appear to be
1324
01:10:13,376 --> 01:10:15,287
too much of a general color
at all.
1325
01:10:15,420 --> 01:10:16,831
- Right, Tranquility.
1326
01:10:16,963 --> 01:10:19,625
Be advised there are lots
of smiling faces in this room
1327
01:10:19,716 --> 01:10:21,502
and all over world, over.
1328
01:10:21,634 --> 01:10:23,170
- There are two of them
up here.
1329
01:10:23,302 --> 01:10:29,423
- And don't forget one
in the command module.
1330
01:10:29,517 --> 01:10:33,306
- Right, that was
a beautiful job, you guys.
1331
01:10:33,438 --> 01:10:35,679
- I did it, Dad.
1332
01:10:46,492 --> 01:10:48,153
- Houston, Tranquility, over.
1333
01:10:48,286 --> 01:10:51,745
- Tranquility, Houston.
Go ahead.
1334
01:10:51,831 --> 01:10:54,823
- Roger, this is the LEM pilot.
1335
01:10:54,959 --> 01:10:56,996
I'd like to take
this opportunity
1336
01:10:57,128 --> 01:11:01,372
to ask every person
listening in,
1337
01:11:01,507 --> 01:11:04,670
whoever, wherever they may be,
1338
01:11:04,761 --> 01:11:09,005
to pause for a moment
and contemplate
1339
01:11:09,140 --> 01:11:12,349
the events
of the past few hours
1340
01:11:12,435 --> 01:11:15,848
and to give thanks
in his or her own way.
1341
01:11:15,938 --> 01:11:20,933
"I am the vine.
1342
01:11:21,027 --> 01:11:25,646
"He who abides in me
and I in him
1343
01:11:25,740 --> 01:11:28,949
"will bear much fruit.
1344
01:11:29,035 --> 01:11:30,867
For apart from me..."
1345
01:11:34,874 --> 01:11:37,366
"You can do nothing."
1346
01:11:58,940 --> 01:12:02,353
[grunting]
1347
01:12:02,443 --> 01:12:06,732
Pressure's at 1/10 of a pound.
1348
01:12:06,864 --> 01:12:09,856
[sighs]
1349
01:12:13,830 --> 01:12:16,743
All this way,
and we can't get the door open.
1350
01:12:16,874 --> 01:12:19,081
- You want me to take a run up
and shoulder barge it?
1351
01:12:19,168 --> 01:12:21,079
[laughter]
1352
01:12:21,212 --> 01:12:22,953
- We got to get
the air out somehow.
1353
01:12:26,676 --> 01:12:29,259
- Why don't we try
the unconventional method?
1354
01:12:29,345 --> 01:12:31,586
I will just wedge it open.
1355
01:12:40,857 --> 01:12:42,473
- Okay.
1356
01:12:43,651 --> 01:12:44,686
Wow.
1357
01:12:46,487 --> 01:12:47,773
- Hold on.
1358
01:12:47,864 --> 01:12:48,979
You're not quite square.
1359
01:12:49,115 --> 01:12:51,607
- Okay.
1360
01:12:51,742 --> 01:12:54,700
- There you go.
Now you're good.
1361
01:12:54,787 --> 01:12:55,697
- How am I doing?
1362
01:12:55,788 --> 01:12:57,779
- You're doing fine.
1363
01:13:05,631 --> 01:13:08,293
- Houston, this is Neil.
Radio check.
1364
01:13:08,384 --> 01:13:10,591
- Neil, this is Houston.
Loud and clear.
1365
01:13:10,678 --> 01:13:12,715
Break, break.
Buzz, this is Houston.
1366
01:13:12,805 --> 01:13:16,469
Radio check and verify
TV circuit breaker in.
1367
01:13:19,437 --> 01:13:21,474
- Roger,
TV circuit breaker's in.
1368
01:13:21,606 --> 01:13:25,144
- And we're getting
a picture on the TV.
1369
01:13:25,276 --> 01:13:27,392
- Hmm.
1370
01:13:27,486 --> 01:13:30,148
- Okay, Neil, we can see you
coming down the ladder now.
1371
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:33,277
- Visual is incoming.
1372
01:13:43,544 --> 01:13:47,708
- I'm at the foot
of the ladder.
1373
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:54,177
The LEM footpaths are only
depressed in the surface
1374
01:13:54,263 --> 01:13:56,470
about one or two inches,
1375
01:13:56,557 --> 01:13:58,889
although the surface
appears to be
1376
01:13:59,018 --> 01:14:03,433
very, very fine-grained
as you get close to it.
1377
01:14:03,522 --> 01:14:05,354
It's almost like
a powder.
1378
01:14:05,483 --> 01:14:07,520
Ground mass is very fine.
1379
01:14:13,157 --> 01:14:16,195
I'm going to step off
the LEM now.
1380
01:14:22,375 --> 01:14:26,084
That's one small step for man,
1381
01:14:26,212 --> 01:14:30,547
one giant leap for mankind.
1382
01:14:42,979 --> 01:14:45,220
The surface
is fine and powdery.
1383
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:47,555
I can kick it up
loosely with my toe.
1384
01:14:47,692 --> 01:14:53,734
It does adhere in fine layers,
like powdered charcoal,
1385
01:14:53,864 --> 01:14:57,778
to the sole and sides
of my boots.
1386
01:15:01,163 --> 01:15:04,576
There seems to be no difficulty
in moving around,
1387
01:15:04,667 --> 01:15:06,874
as we suspected.
1388
01:15:06,961 --> 01:15:10,875
It's even, perhaps, easier
than the simulations
1389
01:15:10,965 --> 01:15:14,754
of 1/6 G that we performed
1390
01:15:14,885 --> 01:15:17,468
in various simulations
on the ground.
1391
01:15:17,596 --> 01:15:20,759
Absolutely no trouble
to walk around.
1392
01:15:27,189 --> 01:15:29,726
It has a stark beauty
all its own.
1393
01:15:29,817 --> 01:15:32,935
It's like much
of the high desert
1394
01:15:33,029 --> 01:15:35,771
of the United States.
1395
01:15:35,906 --> 01:15:39,774
It's different,
but it's very pretty out here.
1396
01:15:43,289 --> 01:15:49,205
- Now I'm gonna back up
and partially close the hatch,
1397
01:15:49,295 --> 01:15:52,128
making sure
not to lock it on my way out.
1398
01:15:52,256 --> 01:15:53,542
[laughter]
1399
01:15:53,632 --> 01:15:56,499
- Okay, you've got
about three more steps
1400
01:15:56,635 --> 01:15:58,842
and then a long one.
1401
01:16:01,140 --> 01:16:04,428
- That's a good last step.
1402
01:16:17,198 --> 01:16:18,563
Beautiful view.
1403
01:16:18,657 --> 01:16:20,318
- Isn't that something?
1404
01:16:20,409 --> 01:16:24,994
Magnificent sight
out here.
1405
01:16:25,081 --> 01:16:28,574
- Magnificent desolation.
1406
01:16:31,796 --> 01:16:33,378
Very, very fine powder,
isn't it?
1407
01:16:33,506 --> 01:16:34,962
- Isn't it fine?
1408
01:16:35,049 --> 01:16:37,086
- Right in this area, I don't
think there's much of any--
1409
01:16:37,176 --> 01:16:41,135
Fine powder--
clods together.
1410
01:16:41,222 --> 01:16:44,886
It's hard to tell
whether it's a clod or a rock.
1411
01:16:53,776 --> 01:16:55,642
- Tell me if you got
a picture, Houston.
1412
01:16:55,736 --> 01:16:58,353
- We got
a beautiful picture, Neil.
1413
01:16:58,447 --> 01:17:00,154
- Okay.
1414
01:17:00,241 --> 01:17:03,199
- Okay, that looks good
there, Neil.
1415
01:17:03,327 --> 01:17:06,115
Okay, that looks good, Neil.
1416
01:17:10,167 --> 01:17:11,874
- Columbia, Columbia,
this is Houston.
1417
01:17:12,002 --> 01:17:14,039
AOS, over.
1418
01:17:14,171 --> 01:17:15,377
- Yeah, read you
loud and clear.
1419
01:17:15,464 --> 01:17:16,499
How's it going?
1420
01:17:16,590 --> 01:17:18,877
- Roger, the EVA
is progressing beautifully.
1421
01:17:19,009 --> 01:17:22,343
I believe they're
setting up the flag now.
1422
01:17:24,598 --> 01:17:25,633
- Great.
1423
01:17:29,728 --> 01:17:31,469
- I guess you're about
the only person around
1424
01:17:31,564 --> 01:17:35,182
that doesn't have TV coverage
of the scene.
1425
01:17:35,276 --> 01:17:37,017
- Looks good.
1426
01:17:37,111 --> 01:17:39,819
- That's all right.
I don't mind a bit.
1427
01:17:45,077 --> 01:17:46,659
- Tranquility Base,
this is Houston.
1428
01:17:46,745 --> 01:17:49,237
Can we get both of you on the
camera for a minute, please?
1429
01:17:49,373 --> 01:17:51,489
- Say again, Houston.
1430
01:17:51,584 --> 01:17:52,915
- Roger, we'd like to get
both of you
1431
01:17:53,002 --> 01:17:56,085
in the field of view
of the camera for a minute.
1432
01:17:56,213 --> 01:18:00,081
Neil and Buzz, the president
of the United States
1433
01:18:00,217 --> 01:18:01,423
is in his office now
1434
01:18:01,510 --> 01:18:05,094
and would like to say
a few words to you, over.
1435
01:18:05,222 --> 01:18:06,758
- That would be
an honor.
1436
01:18:06,891 --> 01:18:09,349
- That would be an honor.
1437
01:18:09,435 --> 01:18:10,846
- All right,
go ahead, Mr. President.
1438
01:18:10,936 --> 01:18:13,928
This is Houston, out.
1439
01:18:14,023 --> 01:18:15,605
- Hello, Neil and Buzz.
1440
01:18:15,733 --> 01:18:17,349
I'm talking to you
by telephone
1441
01:18:17,443 --> 01:18:19,650
from the Oval Room
at the White House.
1442
01:18:19,778 --> 01:18:21,189
And this certainly has to be
1443
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,817
the most historic telephone call
ever made.
1444
01:18:25,618 --> 01:18:29,612
I just can't tell you how proud
we all are of what--
1445
01:18:29,705 --> 01:18:31,036
For every American,
1446
01:18:31,123 --> 01:18:33,455
this has to be the proudest day
of our lives
1447
01:18:33,584 --> 01:18:35,621
and for people
all over the world.
1448
01:18:35,753 --> 01:18:39,963
I am sure they, too,
join with Americans
1449
01:18:40,090 --> 01:18:43,708
in recognizing
what an immense feat this is.
1450
01:18:43,802 --> 01:18:46,214
Because of what you have done,
1451
01:18:46,305 --> 01:18:50,799
the heavens have become
a part of man's world.
1452
01:18:50,893 --> 01:18:55,353
And as you talk to us
from the Sea of Tranquility,
1453
01:18:55,481 --> 01:18:59,145
it inspires us to redouble
our efforts to bring peace
1454
01:18:59,235 --> 01:19:01,943
and tranquility to Earth.
1455
01:19:02,029 --> 01:19:07,650
For one priceless moment
in the whole history of man,
1456
01:19:07,785 --> 01:19:11,870
all the people on this Earth
are truly one.
1457
01:19:11,997 --> 01:19:13,613
- Thank you, Mr. President.
1458
01:19:13,707 --> 01:19:17,575
It's a great honor
and privilege for us to be here
1459
01:19:17,670 --> 01:19:21,664
representing
not only the United States
1460
01:19:21,757 --> 01:19:26,092
but men of peace
from all nations
1461
01:19:26,178 --> 01:19:29,671
with interest and curiosity
1462
01:19:29,807 --> 01:19:33,641
and with a vision
for the future.
1463
01:19:33,727 --> 01:19:34,967
- And thank you very much.
1464
01:19:35,062 --> 01:19:37,019
And I look forward--
all of us look forward
1465
01:19:37,147 --> 01:19:40,811
to seeing you
on the Hornet on Thursday.
1466
01:19:45,364 --> 01:19:48,356
[heavy breathing]
1467
01:20:14,059 --> 01:20:16,175
- Okay, the hatch
is closed and latched
1468
01:20:16,270 --> 01:20:18,477
and verified secure.
1469
01:20:22,568 --> 01:20:23,603
- Good job.
1470
01:20:23,736 --> 01:20:25,727
- Yeah, you too, Buzz.
1471
01:20:35,748 --> 01:20:39,958
- You smell that?
1472
01:20:40,085 --> 01:20:42,372
- What is that,
eggs, gunpowder?
1473
01:20:42,463 --> 01:20:44,374
- You think people will be
interested to know
1474
01:20:44,465 --> 01:20:46,081
that the moon
doesn't smell so good?
1475
01:20:46,216 --> 01:20:49,254
- Let's keep this
between ourselves for now.
1476
01:20:53,766 --> 01:20:56,349
- Tranquility Base,
this is Houston.
1477
01:20:56,435 --> 01:20:59,723
- Go ahead.
Tranquility Base here.
1478
01:20:59,813 --> 01:21:01,554
- Roger, just wanted
to let you guys know
1479
01:21:01,648 --> 01:21:03,685
that since you're an hour
and a half over your timeline
1480
01:21:03,776 --> 01:21:05,266
and we're all taking
a day off tomorrow,
1481
01:21:05,361 --> 01:21:06,271
we're gonna leave you.
1482
01:21:06,362 --> 01:21:07,852
See you later.
1483
01:21:07,946 --> 01:21:09,277
- I don't blame you a bit.
1484
01:21:09,406 --> 01:21:11,317
- That's a real great day, guys.
1485
01:21:11,450 --> 01:21:14,568
Really enjoyed it.
1486
01:21:14,661 --> 01:21:15,901
- Thank you.
1487
01:21:15,996 --> 01:21:17,703
You couldn't have enjoyed it
as much as we did.
1488
01:21:17,790 --> 01:21:18,905
- It was great.
1489
01:21:18,999 --> 01:21:20,034
- Sure wish you'd hurry up
1490
01:21:20,125 --> 01:21:22,412
and get that trash
out of there, though.
1491
01:21:22,503 --> 01:21:23,834
- Okay, we're just about
to do it.
1492
01:21:23,962 --> 01:21:25,293
- Okay.
1493
01:21:47,236 --> 01:21:50,774
- Columbia,
this is Houston, over.
1494
01:21:50,864 --> 01:21:51,979
- Houston, Columbia.
1495
01:21:52,116 --> 01:21:53,447
Go ahead.
1496
01:21:53,534 --> 01:21:55,775
- Roger, unless you have
some other traffic with us,
1497
01:21:55,869 --> 01:21:58,076
I guess we'll bid you
a good night
1498
01:21:58,163 --> 01:21:59,904
and let you get
some sleep, Mike, over.
1499
01:21:59,998 --> 01:22:01,159
- Okay, sounds fine.
1500
01:22:01,291 --> 01:22:05,626
Just having some dinner.
1501
01:22:05,712 --> 01:22:07,703
Oh, the last
of the shrimp cocktail.
1502
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:11,083
Better not mention that
to Buzz.
1503
01:22:11,176 --> 01:22:13,417
[people cheering]
1504
01:22:13,512 --> 01:22:16,595
- "That's one small step
for man,
1505
01:22:16,682 --> 01:22:21,768
one giant leap for mankind."
1506
01:22:21,854 --> 01:22:25,142
- This great historic day,
"men land on the moon."
1507
01:22:25,232 --> 01:22:28,224
[voices overlapping]
1508
01:22:29,820 --> 01:22:31,777
- This, then,
was a long day,
1509
01:22:31,864 --> 01:22:35,573
exhilarating and exhausting.
1510
01:22:35,701 --> 01:22:39,740
- I just can't tell you
how proud we all are of what--
1511
01:22:39,872 --> 01:22:41,033
For every American,
1512
01:22:41,165 --> 01:22:43,782
this has to be the proudest day
of our lives.
1513
01:22:45,711 --> 01:22:47,543
Marsters:
While the world was celebrating,
1514
01:22:47,629 --> 01:22:49,870
two men were still on the moon.
1515
01:22:51,216 --> 01:22:54,584
Because they landed long,
Mike Collins in Columbia
1516
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:56,506
never actually knew
where they were.
1517
01:22:56,597 --> 01:22:58,429
- Columbia,
this is Houston, over.
1518
01:22:58,557 --> 01:23:00,264
- This is Columbia.
Go ahead.
1519
01:23:00,392 --> 01:23:02,633
- Roger, were you successful
in spotting the LEM
1520
01:23:02,728 --> 01:23:03,718
on that pass?
1521
01:23:03,854 --> 01:23:04,969
Over.
1522
01:23:05,063 --> 01:23:06,645
- Negative,
I checked both locations.
1523
01:23:06,732 --> 01:23:09,520
- Okay, if you'd like
to look again next pass,
1524
01:23:09,610 --> 01:23:11,726
we have a different set
of coordinates.
1525
01:23:11,820 --> 01:23:13,310
Marsters:
This shouldn't have mattered
1526
01:23:13,405 --> 01:23:14,770
so long as the ascent engine
1527
01:23:14,907 --> 01:23:17,069
to rocket them off the moon
worked as planned.
1528
01:23:17,201 --> 01:23:18,862
- Apollo 11,
this is Houston.
1529
01:23:18,952 --> 01:23:20,534
Marsters:
But on the evening of day five,
1530
01:23:20,621 --> 01:23:24,330
Buzz and Neil discovered
a potential disaster.
1531
01:23:24,416 --> 01:23:27,625
A circuit breaker to activate
the ascent engine,
1532
01:23:27,753 --> 01:23:29,915
the only way the craft
would escape from the moon,
1533
01:23:30,005 --> 01:23:31,666
was broken.
1534
01:23:31,757 --> 01:23:33,919
- Did that break in the "on"
or the "off" position?
1535
01:23:34,051 --> 01:23:36,088
- If it's open,
we're not going anywhere.
1536
01:23:37,554 --> 01:23:40,262
Marsters: Without somehow
flicking the switch,
1537
01:23:40,349 --> 01:23:43,262
coming home
might be impossible.
1538
01:23:43,393 --> 01:23:46,101
- Houston, Tranquility.
1539
01:23:46,188 --> 01:23:47,974
Is there any way of showing
the configuration
1540
01:23:48,106 --> 01:23:50,017
of the ascent engine arm
circuit breaker?
1541
01:23:50,108 --> 01:23:55,603
The reason I'm asking is,
it appears to be broken off.
1542
01:23:55,739 --> 01:23:59,073
Uh, I think we can
push it in again.
1543
01:23:59,159 --> 01:24:01,526
I'm not sure we could
pull it out
1544
01:24:01,620 --> 01:24:04,112
if we've pushed it in,
though, over.
1545
01:24:05,582 --> 01:24:08,324
- Roger, we copy.
Stand by, please.
1546
01:24:10,295 --> 01:24:12,286
- How did it happen?
1547
01:24:15,133 --> 01:24:16,840
- Tranquility Base,
this is Houston.
1548
01:24:16,969 --> 01:24:19,631
Our telemetry shows
the engine arm circuit breaker
1549
01:24:19,763 --> 01:24:22,425
in the open position
at the present time.
1550
01:24:22,516 --> 01:24:24,427
We want you to leave it open
1551
01:24:24,518 --> 01:24:28,056
until it is nominally scheduled
to be pushed in,
1552
01:24:28,146 --> 01:24:30,729
which is later on, over.
1553
01:24:30,816 --> 01:24:32,272
- I can't get my finger
in there.
1554
01:24:32,359 --> 01:24:35,397
- [sighs]
1555
01:24:47,541 --> 01:24:48,872
- That might do it.
1556
01:24:52,838 --> 01:24:55,375
- Courtesy of Mike Collins.
1557
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:02,132
- Tranquility Base, Houston.
1558
01:25:02,222 --> 01:25:07,513
Guidance recommendation is PGNS,
and you're cleared for takeoff.
1559
01:25:07,603 --> 01:25:08,809
- Okay.
1560
01:25:08,895 --> 01:25:10,260
At five seconds,
1561
01:25:10,355 --> 01:25:14,314
I'm gonna get abort stage
and engine arm.
1562
01:25:14,401 --> 01:25:16,017
And you're gonna hit proceed.
1563
01:25:16,153 --> 01:25:17,018
- Right.
1564
01:25:17,154 --> 01:25:19,737
- And that's all.
1565
01:25:19,865 --> 01:25:21,606
Okay.
1566
01:25:21,700 --> 01:25:26,160
On your countdown.
1567
01:25:26,246 --> 01:25:28,578
- Nine, eight, seven,
1568
01:25:28,707 --> 01:25:30,539
six, five.
1569
01:25:30,626 --> 01:25:31,957
Abort stage.
1570
01:25:32,044 --> 01:25:33,705
Engine arm ascent.
1571
01:25:33,837 --> 01:25:36,044
Proceed.
1572
01:25:41,053 --> 01:25:42,168
[sighs]
1573
01:25:42,262 --> 01:25:45,175
[rockets whooshing]
1574
01:25:45,265 --> 01:25:49,179
- 26, 36 feet per second up.
1575
01:25:49,269 --> 01:25:51,351
Be advised of the pitch over.
1576
01:25:51,438 --> 01:25:55,022
Very smooth.
1577
01:25:55,108 --> 01:25:57,395
Balance couple off.
1578
01:25:59,863 --> 01:26:01,103
Very quiet ride.
1579
01:26:01,239 --> 01:26:03,822
There's that one crater
down there.
1580
01:26:15,087 --> 01:26:17,328
- We can see the shape
of your vehicle now, Mike.
1581
01:26:51,373 --> 01:26:53,410
- Welcome home, boys.
1582
01:26:54,918 --> 01:26:55,874
[laughter]
1583
01:26:55,961 --> 01:26:57,122
You guys stink.
1584
01:26:57,212 --> 01:26:59,078
- You ready for some
million-dollar boxes?
1585
01:26:59,172 --> 01:27:00,412
- Hell, yeah.
1586
01:27:08,306 --> 01:27:09,421
Any rocks?
1587
01:27:09,516 --> 01:27:10,927
[laughter]
1588
01:27:11,017 --> 01:27:12,974
- Damn, I knew we went
for something.
1589
01:27:13,103 --> 01:27:15,094
[laughter]
1590
01:27:26,491 --> 01:27:29,404
- Congratulatory messages
on the Apollo 11 mission
1591
01:27:29,494 --> 01:27:31,110
have been pouring
into the White House
1592
01:27:31,204 --> 01:27:34,287
from world leaders
in a steady stream all day.
1593
01:27:34,374 --> 01:27:36,331
Among the latest are telegrams
1594
01:27:36,418 --> 01:27:39,285
from Prime Minister
Harold Wilson of Great Britain
1595
01:27:39,379 --> 01:27:42,872
and the king of Belgium.
1596
01:27:43,008 --> 01:27:47,218
The world's press has been
dominated by news of Apollo 11.
1597
01:27:47,345 --> 01:27:49,803
Some newsmen estimate
that more than 60%
1598
01:27:49,890 --> 01:27:52,257
of the news used in papers
across the country today
1599
01:27:52,350 --> 01:27:54,466
concern your mission.
1600
01:27:56,146 --> 01:27:57,853
You're probably interested
in the comments
1601
01:27:57,981 --> 01:28:00,814
that your wives have made.
1602
01:28:00,901 --> 01:28:03,393
Neil, Jan was asked if she
considered the moon landing
1603
01:28:03,528 --> 01:28:06,987
the greatest moment
in her life.
1604
01:28:07,073 --> 01:28:09,280
She said, "No, that was the day
we were married."
1605
01:28:09,367 --> 01:28:11,028
- [chuckles]
1606
01:28:11,161 --> 01:28:14,074
- And, Mike,
Pat said simply,
1607
01:28:14,206 --> 01:28:18,200
"It was fantastically
marvelous."
1608
01:28:18,293 --> 01:28:20,705
Buzz, Joan said--
1609
01:28:20,796 --> 01:28:24,380
Apparently couldn't quite
believe the EVA on the moon.
1610
01:28:24,508 --> 01:28:26,966
She said, "It was hard
to think it was real
1611
01:28:27,052 --> 01:28:30,545
"until the men actually moved.
1612
01:28:30,639 --> 01:28:34,223
After the moon touchdown,
I wept because I was so happy."
1613
01:28:34,351 --> 01:28:36,217
But she added,
"The best part of the mission
1614
01:28:36,311 --> 01:28:38,393
will be the splashdown."
1615
01:28:47,447 --> 01:28:48,778
- Apollo 11, Apollo 11.
1616
01:28:48,907 --> 01:28:51,319
This is Hornet.
Hornet, over.
1617
01:28:51,409 --> 01:28:55,243
- The world waited.
1618
01:28:55,372 --> 01:28:58,865
Never before had so many people
been attuned to one event
1619
01:28:58,959 --> 01:29:01,326
at one time.
1620
01:29:01,419 --> 01:29:04,377
- So America has been
to the moon and back
1621
01:29:04,464 --> 01:29:06,375
safely and successfully
1622
01:29:06,466 --> 01:29:11,961
and in the act of doing this
rediscovered itself.
1623
01:29:12,097 --> 01:29:13,929
- The lunar age has begun...
1624
01:29:14,057 --> 01:29:16,139
[cheers and applause]
1625
01:29:16,268 --> 01:29:18,976
With a small step for man,
1626
01:29:19,104 --> 01:29:20,890
a giant leap for mankind,
1627
01:29:20,981 --> 01:29:24,690
in Armstrong's
unforgettable words.
1628
01:29:24,776 --> 01:29:26,266
The date's now indelible.
1629
01:29:26,361 --> 01:29:29,103
It's going to be remembered
as long as man survives:
1630
01:29:29,239 --> 01:29:31,901
July 20, 1969,
1631
01:29:31,992 --> 01:29:36,953
the day man reached
and walked on the moon.
1632
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:39,538
[cheers and applause]
1633
01:29:39,624 --> 01:29:42,161
- We choose to go to the moon
in this decade
1634
01:29:42,294 --> 01:29:43,750
and do the other things
1635
01:29:43,837 --> 01:29:47,626
not because they are easy
but because they are hard.
1636
01:29:50,844 --> 01:29:55,259
That challenge is one
that we're willing to accept,
1637
01:29:55,348 --> 01:29:59,182
one we are unwilling
to postpone,
1638
01:29:59,311 --> 01:30:03,396
and one we intend to win.
1639
01:30:47,359 --> 01:30:49,646
- Back on Earth,
I said to Neil and Mike,
1640
01:30:49,736 --> 01:30:53,525
"Look, everyone's celebrating,
and we missed the whole thing."
1641
01:30:53,657 --> 01:30:57,070
40 years later,
the world is still different
1642
01:30:57,202 --> 01:30:59,990
thanks to all the thousands
of men and women
1643
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:03,744
who sent Neil, Mike, and me
to the moon.
