00:05:28,470 addresses go the burn completed on their 37 00:05:33,770 --> 00:05:31,290 way to the moon the next step was to 38 00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:33,780 jettison their launch vehicle turn 39 00:06:07,860 --> 00:05:35,780 around and docked with the lunar module 40 00:06:12,930 --> 00:06:10,260 bullying free now of the useless third 41 00:06:30,090 --> 00:06:12,940 stage they continue their coasting 42 00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:30,100 flight so they coasted toward the movie 43 00:06:35,790 --> 00:06:33,190 as Jason sought the Golden Fleece to 44 00:06:39,060 --> 00:06:35,800 regain a kingdom these three sought a 45 00:06:43,969 --> 00:06:39,070 cargo of knowledge to gain a kingdom for 46 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:43,979 all men a kingdom of infinite frontier 47 00:06:57,450 --> 00:06:49,450 then on July 19 1969 Apollo 11 prepared 48 00:07:03,900 --> 00:06:57,460 for loi lunar orbit insertion your LOI 49 00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:03,910 over right here gofer LOI and we've had 50 00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:07,120 loss of signal as Apollo 11 goes behind 51 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:12,400 the moon now those of us on the earth 52 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:14,650 waited for the radio signal to be 53 00:07:19,830 --> 00:07:17,530 acquired as Armstrong Collins and Aldrin 54 00:08:05,999 --> 00:07:19,840 emerged from their first transit behind 55 00:08:11,769 --> 00:08:09,070 the next day July 20th marked the 56 00:08:13,779 --> 00:08:11,779 beginning of a new era Mike Collins 57 00:08:16,749 --> 00:08:13,789 alone in the command module called 58 00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:16,759 Columbia watched as Neil Armstrong and 59 00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:18,769 Buzz Aldrin undocks the lunar module 60 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:33,250 as the eagle rotated slowly Collins 61 00:08:39,370 --> 00:08:36,050 inspected it carefully for now it was 62 00:09:16,090 --> 00:08:39,380 time for the descent to the surface of 63 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:16,100 the Moon and into history a separation 64 00:09:20,829 --> 00:09:18,050 maneuver had placed the command module 65 00:09:23,319 --> 00:09:20,839 below the Eagle so that half an orbit 66 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:23,329 later there would be a safe clearance 67 00:09:28,780 --> 00:09:24,490 for d0i 68 00:09:31,210 --> 00:09:28,790 he sent orbit insertion armstrong and 69 00:09:36,579 --> 00:09:31,220 aldrin looked down at columbia as they 70 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:36,589 passed over the landing site don't get 71 00:09:43,449 --> 00:09:40,730 to here though for do-over got to go for 72 00:09:45,579 --> 00:09:43,459 do idml OS and he left

when they emerged eagle would 76 00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:55,200 be on the way down 77 00:10:01,130 --> 00:09:57,690 awaiting the signal that would begin the 78 00:10:27,380 --> 00:10:01,140 powered descent and end with Man's first 79 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:27,390 lunar landing over 50,000 feet above the 80 00:10:36,810 --> 00:10:47,850 you 81 00:10:47,860 --> 00:11:08,380 I got a bank opening 82 00:11:13,449 --> 00:11:10,720 at this point the Eagle rolled onto its 83 00:11:16,630 --> 00:11:13,459 back to give the landing radar surface 84 00:11:19,949 --> 00:11:16,640 acquisition now the crew was flying 85 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:19,959 blind hurtling toward the lunar surface 86 00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:22,610 only their instruments and the voice of 87 00:11:27,670 --> 00:11:25,070 Mission Control telling them where they 88 00:11:32,819 --> 00:11:27,680 were until the slope picks maneuver 89 00:11:39,070 --> 00:11:35,530 let it be three and a half down 9 90 00:11:42,790 --> 00:11:39,080 forward I present 91 00:11:57,189 --> 00:11:46,530 hey 75 feet is looking good down a half 92 00:12:00,090 --> 00:11:57,199 its forward 62nd speed Python down two 93 00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:05,730

angularity granularity that 117 00:14:12,550 --> 00:14:09,310 every variety of rocks you could find 118 00:14:16,650 --> 00:14:12,560 there doesn't appear to be too much of a 119 00:14:21,220 --> 00:14:16,660 general color at all we piece up of 120 00:14:24,630 --> 00:14:21,230 angular blocks out several hundred feet 121 00:14:34,330 --> 00:14:24,640 in front of us that are probably 2 feet 122 00:14:36,940 --> 00:14:34,340 in size and have angular edges now in 123 00:14:38,860 --> 00:14:36,950 the lesser gravity of the moon armstrong 124 00:14:42,070 --> 00:14:38,870 and aldrin donned their equipment and 125 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:42,080 prepared to explore this stark lonely 126 00:15:01,290 --> 00:14:46,730 world do you think you're gonna open the 127 00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:04,570 guided by Buzz Aldrin Neil Armstrong and 128 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:06,800 his bulky suit worked his way through 129 00:15:48,410 --> 00:15:34,370 the Eagles forward hatch and we're in 130 00:15:57,180 --> 00:15:51,449 I'll bet at the foot of the ladder 131 00:16:10,630 --> 00:15:57,190 he'll amphitheater only depressed in the 132 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:46,540 that's one small step for man 133 00:17:15,169 --> 00:17:06,980 the United States different but it's 134 00:17:17,630 --> 00:17:15,179 very pretty here Armstrong next set 135 00:17:27,410 --> 00:17:17,640 about taking pictures and collecting a 136 00:17:31,310 --> 00:17:27,420 contingency sample of lunar soil surface 137 00:17:35,020 --> 00:17:31,320 is fine and powdery Beckham I can pick 138 00:17:44,780 --> 00:17:39,890 adhere and fine layers like powdered 139 00:17:52,060 --> 00:17:44,790 charcoal to the distal and insides of my 140 00:18:06,120 --> 00:17:58,330 only cool stuff of an inch but I can't 141

time 150 00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:12,230 then the first man on the Moon read a 151 00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:14,630 plaque attached to a leg of the Eagle a 152 00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:17,280 plaque representing the philosophy of a 153 00:19:21,950 --> 00:19:19,710 nation that itself less than two 154 00:19:24,580 --> 00:19:21,960 centuries earlier had been thought by 155 00:19:55,370 --> 00:19:24,590 many so called practical men and 156 00:19:57,500 --> 00:19:55,380 impractical dream and as we watched them 157 00:20:01,070 --> 00:19:57,510 plant the flag of the United States in 158 00:20:04,250 --> 00:20:01,080 the lunar soil we perhaps wondered what 159 00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:04,260 dream dreamt today by what impractical 160 00:20:38,110 --> 00:20:17,920 Columbia this is

explorers the steps with which those who 164 00:21:28,919 --> 00:21:18,140 like a football player but after the 165 00:21:43,909 --> 00:21:33,629 kangaroo work but it seems the forward 166

about the 194 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:17,880 business of collecting samples and 195 00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:20,970 setting up experiments earth observed 196 00:23:25,630 --> 00:23:22,370 them 197 00:23:29,419 --> 00:23:25,640 heart rates on both crewmen averaging 198 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:29,429 between 90 and 100 flight surgeon 199 00:23:39,259 --> 00:23:37,610 watching their loafing skating stride It 200 00:23:48,860 --> 00:23:39,269 was as though we peered through a lens 201 00:23:51,409 --> 00:23:48,870 that distorted time itself is an 202 00:23:53,750 --> 00:23:51,419 activity healthier than loved awake 203 00:24:01,490 --> 00:23:53,760 device to come up with an accurate level 204 00:24:04,909 --> 00:24:01,500 all right 11 up on me at the ball is 205 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:04,919 right the middle down multiple make a 206 00:24:15,020 --> 00:24:11,780 so they went about their tasks of 207 00:24:19,130 --> 00:24:15,030 exploration aliens on a distant world 208
