00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:22,400
April 16 1972 Apollo 16 Man's

2
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:25,710
fifth lunar landing sat silently on the

3
00:00:31,790 --> 00:00:29,250
pad awaiting its mission inside the

4
00:00:35,450 --> 00:00:31,800
astronaut quarters it's relaxed crew

5
00:00:37,459 --> 00:00:35,460
eight Sunday breakfast John Young the

6
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:37,469
veteran of three previous space flights

7
00:00:42,979 --> 00:00:40,710
was commander Ken Mattingly command

8
00:00:45,410 --> 00:00:42,989
module pilot would conduct orbital

9
00:00:48,139 --> 00:00:45,420
experiments around the moon while

10
00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:48,149
Charles Duke explored the lunar surface

11
00:00:55,369 --> 00:00:53,520
with young April 22nd young and Duke

12
00:00:58,119 --> 00:00:55,379
would find themselves strapped into a

13
00:01:00,799 --> 00:00:58,129
small electric car called the rover

14
00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:00,809
bouncing across the lunar plateau known

15
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:24,170
as young and boot rode the bucking rover

16
00:01:29,810 --> 00:01:26,250
to the lunar formation called Stone

17
00:01:32,810 --> 00:01:29,820
Mountain NASA geologists Farouk Elbaz

18
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:32,820
wrote on a blackboard on earth there is

19
00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:35,970
nothing so far removed from us to be

20
00:01:43,660 --> 00:01:39,600
beyond our reach or so hidden that we

21
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:43,670
cannot discover it Rene Descartes as

22
00:01:49,969 --> 00:01:47,490
John Young would later remark Apollo 16

23
00:02:01,550 --> 00:01:49,979
would certainly help prove that Rene

24
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:01,560
Descartes yet less than two days before

25
00:02:06,740 --> 00:02:03,330
it looked as though this would never

26
00:02:10,460 --> 00:02:06,750
happen it was in Young's words a real

27
00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:10,470
cliffhanger the Marshall Space Flight

28
00:02:14,330 --> 00:02:12,480
Center team was working on a launch

29
00:02:16,729 --> 00:02:14,340
vehicle gyroscope problem that

30
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:16,739
threatened to scrub the mission less

31
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:18,720
than an hour before liftoff their

32
00:02:58,479 --> 00:02:20,310
advisory to the Kennedy Space Center

33
00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:04,880
the liftoff had been perfect during the

34
00:03:08,569 --> 00:03:06,959
three-day flight to lunar orbit the

35
00:03:11,690 --> 00:03:08,579
problems encountered had been more

36
00:03:14,179 --> 00:03:11,700
annoyances than critical such as paint

37
00:03:15,949 --> 00:03:14,189
flaking off the lunar module and later a

38
00:03:19,330 --> 00:03:15,959
jammed antenna in one of the lunar

39
00:03:25,569 --> 00:03:19,340
modules several communication systems

40
00:03:38,569 --> 00:03:29,300
April 19th the burn into lunar orbit was

41
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:38,579
right on the subsequent maneuvers all

42
00:03:44,539 --> 00:03:40,889
went without a hitch then the next day

43
00:03:46,550 --> 00:03:44,549
April 20th young and Duke undocked the

44
00:04:09,350 --> 00:03:46,560
lunar module preparatory to landing

45
00:04:14,340 --> 00:04:12,180
the next maneuver was for Mattingly to

46
00:04:19,620 --> 00:04:14,350
burn the main engine of his spacecraft

47
00:04:21,750 --> 00:04:19,630
to put it into a circular orbit but as

48
00:04:32,970 --> 00:04:21,760
the lunar module emerged from behind the

49
00:04:35,730 --> 00:04:32,980
moon no Cirque in preparing for the

50
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:35,740
circularization burn Mattingly had found

51
00:04:40,610 --> 00:04:38,410
apparent uncontrolled oscillations in

52
00:04:43,470 --> 00:04:40,620
the main engines backup control system

53
00:04:45,510 --> 00:04:43,480
following mission rules he did not make

54
00:04:47,790 --> 00:04:45,520
the burn how long do you think it's not

55
00:04:50,730 --> 00:04:47,800
take him to get run over Gary I think

56
00:04:53,370 --> 00:04:50,740
you're in a couple of rear is with the

57
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:53,380
backup system having trouble only the

58
00:04:57,660 --> 00:04:55,810
primary system was known to be usable on

59
00:04:59,900 --> 00:04:57,670
the engine needed to get the astronauts

60
00:05:02,970 --> 00:04:59,910
out of lunar orbit and back to earth

61
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:02,980
however the lunar module engines could

62
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:05,170
be used if the two spacecraft were

63
00:05:10,980 --> 00:05:08,110
docked the first step in the

64
00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:10,990
problem-solving technique stabilized the

65
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:13,630
situation in the safest manner get the

66
00:05:19,190 --> 00:05:16,510
two spacecraft which had separated close

67
00:05:21,750 --> 00:05:19,200
enough together to dock if necessary

68
00:05:23,970 --> 00:05:21,760
back together get things back if you

69
00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:27,400
now don't take that input to ask me Fitz

70
00:05:34,060 --> 00:05:30,560
on and out laughs now I want to okay I

71
00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:34,070
don't see any way we can continue on at

72
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:36,560
that moment the chances for a landing

73
00:05:42,610 --> 00:05:39,170
looked pretty slim but you look at a

74
00:05:45,730 --> 00:05:42,620
problem step by step step one under way

75
00:05:47,770 --> 00:05:45,740
you look at step two analyze the problem

76
00:05:51,220 --> 00:05:47,780
as completely as possible within the

77
00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:51,230
time frame machine make sure the test

78
00:06:03,070 --> 00:06:00,560
problem is no way and in lunar orbit

79
00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:03,080
Mattingly flew the command module to a

80
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:20,000
rendezvous as young talked him in the

81
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:22,910
team was coming up to speed not only at

82
00:06:28,060 --> 00:06:25,250
the manned spacecraft Center but from

83
00:06:30,430 --> 00:06:28,070
MIT in Massachusetts to North American

84
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:30,440
in Southern California isolate the

85
00:06:36,370 --> 00:06:34,970
trouble simulated evaluated you can't

86
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:36,380
use it if you got broken wire you don't

87
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:47,260
not a cork apart beetle then you would

88
00:06:50,260 --> 00:06:49,730
have no options I mean then it's full

89
00:06:53,260 --> 00:06:50,270
speed ahead

90
00:06:54,940 --> 00:06:53,270
I just don't let see how I get on this

91
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:54,950
next trip thank you guys I'll continue

92
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:57,050
to work good so you'd only do it if you

93
00:06:59,320 --> 00:06:58,370
had a failure on the primary well how

94
00:07:00,340 --> 00:06:59,330
would you ever get the damn thing

95
00:07:07,860 --> 00:07:00,350
trimmed then

96
00:07:19,750 --> 00:07:16,470
yeah you're gonna get here isolate

97
00:07:23,490 --> 00:07:19,760
simulate evaluate the results were

98
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:23,500
coming in it was beginning to pay off

99
00:07:28,810 --> 00:07:26,570
the simulator tests and other data were

100
00:07:30,820 --> 00:07:28,820
showing that with the engine on the

101
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:30,830
oscillations would do no harm

102
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:33,830
despite the earlier pessimism it was

103
00:07:39,580 --> 00:07:36,170
beginning to look pretty good okay when

104
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:39,590
you come up on a OS on the next Rev Rev

105
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:42,530
15 we'll give you a go or no-go for

106
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:43,570
another try

107
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:46,310
manned spacecraft Center director dr.

108
00:07:51,610 --> 00:07:49,730
Christopher C Kraft jr. just came back

109
00:07:54,370 --> 00:07:51,620
into the control center after having

110
00:07:56,650 --> 00:07:54,380
attended a meeting by management people

111
00:08:00,700 --> 00:07:56,660
in one of the back rooms and the

112
00:08:04,450 --> 00:08:00,710
situation is go for landing well that is

113
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:04,460
a window car you do have a go for

114
00:08:11,830 --> 00:08:09,010
another try here at the EDI on rep 16

115
00:08:12,370 --> 00:08:11,840
once more they would pass behind the

116
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:12,380
moon

117
00:08:17,260 --> 00:08:14,690
and on the next revolution John Young

118
00:08:23,910 --> 00:08:17,270
and Charlie Duke would start their swift

119
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:45,900
okay children inhalation looks good

120
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:47,460
okay

121
00:08:51,190 --> 00:08:49,610
it's like we don't be able to make it

122
00:08:53,830 --> 00:08:51,200
John it's not too many blocks up their

123
00:09:06,030 --> 00:08:53,840
line you go for landing yeah right now

124
00:09:10,030 --> 00:09:06,040
looks pretty good that comes a shadow

125
00:09:14,130 --> 00:09:10,040
okay down at 350 feet that is for anyone

126
00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:14,140
to pick up back to that slightly

127
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:15,920
stake sit down

128
00:09:26,950 --> 00:09:19,970
stand by for contact from a letter down

129
00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:26,960
to level off Center on down a step six

130
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:42,110
percent 20 fat back stop the original

131
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:43,910
plan had called for young and dupe to

132
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:45,770
get out and explore shortly after

133
00:09:51,580 --> 00:09:48,650
landing however the near abort had

134
00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:51,590
lasted six hours the tired astronauts

135
00:10:00,670 --> 00:09:58,640
would sleep April 21 mission commander

136
00:10:03,940 --> 00:10:00,680
John Young stepped onto the decart

137
00:10:16,540 --> 00:10:03,950
formation 11:58 a.m. Eastern Standard

138
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:19,280
while their activities were monitored by

139
00:10:24,620 --> 00:10:22,050
Mission Control young and Duke were also

140
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:24,630
observed by scientists located across

141
00:10:34,220 --> 00:10:31,940
after unloading the rover from its

142
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:34,230
storage Bay in the lunar module they

143
00:10:58,490 --> 00:10:56,130
planted the flag there we go young set

144
00:11:01,130 --> 00:10:58,500
up an ultraviolet camera to provide the

145
00:11:03,620 --> 00:11:01,140
first astronomical observations from the

146
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:03,630
moon he took pictures of the Earth's

147
00:11:09,140 --> 00:11:06,510
upper atmosphere and magnetosphere and

148
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:09,150
their interaction with the solar wind

149
00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:11,730
he also photographed the interstellar

150
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:14,640
gas present throughout space and the

151
00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:16,560
ultraviolet halos that appear around

152
00:11:21,530 --> 00:11:20,160
galaxies astronomers have long wanted a

153
00:11:24,050 --> 00:11:21,540
telescope on the moon

154
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:24,060
perhaps this experiment would show the

155
00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:26,090
moon an ideal base for future

156
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:30,000
astronomical observations you want to

157
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:36,210
pan deep drilled a hole into which a

158
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:39,090
heat flow probe was to be placed part of

159
00:11:45,170 --> 00:11:40,890
one of the experiments attached to this

160
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:45,180
station as Duke drilled young set up the

161
00:11:50,450 --> 00:11:47,130
Central Station and the remainder of the

162
00:11:51,980 --> 00:11:50,460
experiments then what many considered

163
00:12:03,770 --> 00:11:51,990
the biggest disappointment of the

164
00:12:07,190 --> 00:12:03,780
mission crater we saw back there the

165
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:07,200
Lamb Charlie what don't a peer what

166
00:12:18,439 --> 00:12:08,370
happened

167
00:12:22,090 --> 00:12:18,449
oh there's a line at pullers oh I'm live

168
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:22,100
is it that's the heat flow pull it off

169
00:12:29,569 --> 00:12:25,290
Carolyn sorry I didn't know tit

170
00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:29,579
I didn't even know it well that means

171
00:12:33,949 --> 00:12:32,160
you've got to got some eights all those

172
00:12:37,429 --> 00:12:33,959
wires separate wires in there and have

173
00:12:39,199 --> 00:12:37,439
him isolated from one mother and if that

174
00:12:42,110 --> 00:12:39,209
doesn't occur one of the chances of

175
00:12:43,069 --> 00:12:42,120
shorting out the Central Station well

176
00:12:46,220 --> 00:12:43,079
that's another one that they're working

177
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:46,230
on earth they tried to figure a way to

178
00:12:53,299 --> 00:12:51,689
fix the heat flow on the moon the

179
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:53,309
astronauts continued with the other

180
00:12:59,540 --> 00:12:56,370
experiments young placed a series of

181
00:13:01,910 --> 00:12:59,550
sensors in the soil then fired explosive

182
00:13:04,129 --> 00:13:01,920
charges mapping the lunar subsurface

183
00:13:26,190 --> 00:13:04,139
much as geologists on earth use

184
00:13:31,930 --> 00:13:28,900
they continue to sample the area and

185
00:13:33,790 --> 00:13:31,940
activate the experiments then they

186
00:13:35,770 --> 00:13:33,800
return to the rover and prepared for

187
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:35,780
their first trip away from the landing

188
00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:46,090
their first Traverse would take them

189
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:48,470
about 1 kilometre west of the landing

190
00:14:11,850 --> 00:13:51,890
site they would make two stops to

191
00:14:17,380 --> 00:14:14,620
yang used a portable instrument to

192
00:14:19,270 --> 00:14:17,390
measure the local magnetic field he

193
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:19,280
would later record the most intense

194
00:14:24,340 --> 00:14:21,730
magnetic field ever found on the moon

195
00:14:33,250 --> 00:14:24,350
far higher than scientists ever

196
00:14:35,590 --> 00:14:33,260
suspected rock in the near field on this

197
00:14:36,940 --> 00:14:35,600
rim that had some height on the top of

198
00:14:53,650 --> 00:14:36,950
it we'd like you to pick it up at the

199
00:14:55,780 --> 00:14:53,660
grab sample there would be one more stop

200
00:14:59,800 --> 00:14:55,790
before they got back to the lunar module

201
00:15:02,890 --> 00:14:59,810
to close out this PDA with Guk acting as

202
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:02,900
photographer and young as driver they

203
00:15:17,430 --> 00:15:14,010
is he on the ground at all that

204
00:15:19,890 --> 00:15:17,440
klompers huh

205
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:19,900
he's got about two wheels on the ground

206
00:15:31,020 --> 00:15:27,910
skaters yard have notified a sharpie hey

207
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:31,030
ed break he's a big rooster tail out of

208
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:34,690
all four wheels and his heaters he

209
00:15:38,670 --> 00:15:35,890
scared the backend

210
00:15:48,750 --> 00:15:38,680
breaks loose just like on snow come on

211
00:15:50,460 --> 00:15:48,760
back John and attack and run him then

212
00:15:53,580 --> 00:15:50,470
out day and he's never seen a driver

213
00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:53,590
like this okay when he hits the craters

214
00:16:04,410 --> 00:15:55,360
it starts bouncing it's when he gets his

215
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:04,420
rooster tail make sharp turn then it was

216
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:06,910
back to their lunar base activate

217
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:19,500
be wise exercise their right physical

218
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:21,970
fitness in level hey that's right please

219
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:26,170
don't take pictures of the enjoy the

220
00:16:31,650 --> 00:16:29,410
whole residue live protein diet on earth

221
00:16:41,340 --> 00:16:31,660
the scientists took a break tomorrow

222
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:41,350
would be another busy day April 22nd the

223
00:16:46,830 --> 00:16:42,730
lunar surface temperature in the Sun

224
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:46,840
should be around 135 degrees today today

225
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:48,370
they were headed a little over four

226
00:16:58,260 --> 00:16:51,010
kilometres south to climb their Rover up

227
00:17:02,100 --> 00:16:58,270
the side of Stone Mountain their first

228
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:02,110
station a crater 700 feet above their

229
00:17:32,430 --> 00:17:30,610
lunar module we got certainly something

230
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:32,440
to go to one man sampling and maybe do

231
00:17:38,340 --> 00:17:35,410
it they would make a total of six stops

232
00:17:40,350 --> 00:17:38,350
on this Traverse collecting samples from

233
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:40,360
large rocks down through the

234
00:17:45,420 --> 00:17:42,610
intermediates to the smallest soil

235
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:45,430
particles they would operate experiments

236
00:17:49,710 --> 00:17:47,200
measuring the strength of local magnetic

237
00:18:15,609 --> 00:17:49,720
fields to measuring the resistance of

238
00:18:21,259 --> 00:18:18,229
and we come a long way

239
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:21,269
hey giant busy go straight across that

240
00:18:29,450 --> 00:18:26,129
was fine I am a troll okay I'm walking

241
00:18:31,669 --> 00:18:29,460
up there the sampling time used up it

242
00:18:34,820 --> 00:18:31,679
was time to return to the rover we head

243
00:18:37,219 --> 00:18:34,830
back to the lunar module they did it in

244
00:18:52,219 --> 00:18:37,229
two minutes last travel time in free

245
00:18:54,589 --> 00:18:52,229
play but with the limited oxygen and

246
00:19:01,230 --> 00:18:54,599
water in the backpacks it was finally

247
00:19:09,620 --> 00:19:04,200
now I think they're realized that it's

248
00:19:12,510 --> 00:19:09,630
not more well gee whiz like a frenzy

249
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:12,520
thrill but it's real exploration and

250
00:19:19,970 --> 00:19:16,450
this is much more serious and much more

251
00:19:22,740 --> 00:19:19,980
important for the future of mankind than

252
00:19:24,149 --> 00:19:22,750
just a plain exploit too technical or

253
00:19:27,779 --> 00:19:24,159
technological in supply

254
00:19:32,850 --> 00:19:27,789
this is exploration Ray Bradbury claims

255
00:19:35,610 --> 00:19:32,860
that what mankind sees in the

256
00:19:38,039 --> 00:19:35,620
exploration of space is his first chance

257
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:38,049
at immortality since he's since he

258
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:43,510
invented religion April 23rd the

259
00:19:47,610 --> 00:19:45,610
decision had been made not to try and

260
00:19:49,860 --> 00:19:47,620
fix the broken heat flow experiment

261
00:19:53,630 --> 00:19:49,870
because of the time and complexities

262
00:19:56,340 --> 00:19:53,640
involved Traverse number three today

263
00:19:59,580 --> 00:19:56,350
young and Duke would head north about

264
00:20:01,860 --> 00:19:59,590
five kilometers to north ray crater the

265
00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:01,870
largest lunar crater to be sampled by

266
00:20:12,730 --> 00:20:09,340
outstanding hey Tony it seems to me this

267
00:20:16,330 --> 00:20:12,740
is a more subdued surface over here than

268
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:16,340
going towards south break Oh spectacular

269
00:20:22,990 --> 00:20:20,690
just spectacular Wow

270
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:23,000
start really beautiful I gotta keep my

271
00:20:28,420 --> 00:20:26,090
own driving that's great Jake that's a

272
00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:28,430
good point to remember all three crews

273
00:20:34,870 --> 00:20:30,110
in our tendo's take their there before

274
00:20:39,430 --> 00:20:34,880
they get back I remember and if this

275
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:39,440
thing has people off a 360 degrees now

276
00:20:43,980 --> 00:20:41,390
I'd say I can't see to the bottom of it

277
00:20:48,730 --> 00:20:43,990
now misquote the edges I'm gonna get

278
00:20:51,990 --> 00:20:48,740
that now that I'm team if anything on

279
00:20:55,210 --> 00:20:52,000
the moon can be called that test collect

280
00:21:07,450 --> 00:20:55,220
photograph keep moving time is precious

281
00:21:10,620 --> 00:21:07,460
on the moon how about rolling that one

282
00:21:13,740 --> 00:21:10,630
over no way

283
00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:13,750
then one of the most spectacular

284
00:21:21,370 --> 00:21:17,120
discoveries of the mission look at the

285
00:21:23,140 --> 00:21:21,380
size of it it is a big unit it may

286
00:21:25,050 --> 00:21:23,150
be further away than we think because I

287
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:25,060
thought they were just right behind you

288
00:21:32,230 --> 00:21:27,770
and we better press on for the big

289
00:21:36,730 --> 00:21:32,240
boulder territory okay we're headed that

290
00:21:47,950 --> 00:21:36,740
way you get the tongue stuck here in the

291
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:51,890
yes if we can see at the bottom we could

292
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:54,510
say for sure if the stick black rock is

293
00:21:59,810 --> 00:21:57,810
right out of the bottom but uh my guess

294
00:22:17,060 --> 00:21:59,820
from the old photograph there probably

295
00:22:20,090 --> 00:22:17,070
is okay i curious what they're gonna

296
00:22:22,940 --> 00:22:20,100
look like when they stand next to it we

297
00:22:25,550 --> 00:22:22,950
can see how I get to it the bigger yet

298
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:25,560
yeah but look at the thermostatic part

299
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:29,730
Charlie on this side over here and as

300
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:35,970
our crew slowly disappeared into the

301
00:22:43,940 --> 00:22:43,370
well Tony that's your half rock right

302
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:43,950
there

303
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:45,930
very good we'll get too near the air to

304
00:22:50,090 --> 00:22:47,730
that they can fall off but look over

305
00:22:50,690 --> 00:22:50,100
look over to right it falls off pretty

306
00:22:59,240 --> 00:22:50,700
good

307
00:23:05,690 --> 00:22:59,250
yeah no careful we got it Mikey Nina

308
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:05,700
okay let's go on back and we encourage

309
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:08,610
it just to look for some variety but now

310
00:23:15,740 --> 00:23:10,650
it was time to head back to their base

311
00:23:28,659 --> 00:23:15,750
and close out the EBA alright we think

312
00:23:33,619 --> 00:23:31,940
during the previous EBA a section of a

313
00:23:35,570 --> 00:23:33,629
rear fender had come off the rover

314
00:23:44,389 --> 00:23:35,580
causing the astronauts to receive

315
00:23:46,999 --> 00:23:44,399
occasional showers of lunar dirt young

316
00:23:49,969 --> 00:23:47,009
parked the rover then moved out to join

317
00:23:58,690 --> 00:23:49,979
do enter the lunar module and prepare

318
00:24:05,149 --> 00:24:03,049
smile FAO don't be mad

319
00:24:07,129 --> 00:24:05,159
we'll get it up there feel nice and

320
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:07,139
leisurely it's been that's why it should

321
00:24:14,690 --> 00:24:23,390
what a ride what a ride

322
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:30,880
it's over gone

323
00:24:35,090 --> 00:24:33,790
together in orbit the two spacecraft

324
00:24:45,470 --> 00:24:35,100
pirouette

325
00:24:48,260 --> 00:24:45,480
each inspecting the other the

326
00:24:51,850 --> 00:24:48,270
inspections complete the command module

327
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:51,860
and lunar module maneuvered for docking

328
00:24:58,250 --> 00:24:55,530
John Young Ken Mattingly and Charlie

329
00:25:00,970 --> 00:24:58,260
Duke reunited aboard the command module

330
00:25:03,650 --> 00:25:00,980
settled down for tomorrow's tasks

331
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:03,660
jettisoned the lunar module and burn out

332
00:25:16,550 --> 00:25:12,320
April 25 Ken Mattingly left the confines

333
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:16,560
of the command module cabin 173 thousand

334
00:25:22,490 --> 00:25:19,410
miles from Earth as he orbited the moon

335
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:22,500
he had not only made visual observations

336
00:25:28,010 --> 00:25:25,110
he had been operating a complex series

337
00:25:31,340 --> 00:25:28,020
of experiments many of these had

338
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:31,350
returned instant data to Houston two had

339
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:33,450
taken thousands of high-resolution

340
00:25:38,990 --> 00:25:36,170
pictures of the lunar terrain now

341
00:25:40,970 --> 00:25:39,000
Mattingly retrieved the film canisters

342
00:25:43,190 --> 00:25:40,980
and made his way back to the cabin with

343
00:25:47,180 --> 00:25:43,200
them as Charlie Duke stood in the hatch

344
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:47,190
to help him work it had been quite a

345
00:26:02,720 --> 00:25:55,730
in ten days and most people say in ten

346
00:26:04,310 --> 00:26:02,730
lifetimes April 27 the last day the crew

347
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:04,320
looked out their windows through the

348
00:26:32,030 --> 00:26:07,200
5,000 degree fireball of reentry at

349
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:43,889
they're blooming

350
00:26:49,570 --> 00:26:46,840
follow Control Houston an observer on

351
00:27:19,110 --> 00:26:49,580
that Ticonderoga estimates a distance

352
00:27:25,740 --> 00:27:22,380
you saw an example of goal-oriented

353
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:25,750
teamwork in action the kind of thing

354
00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:29,530
that made this country great and the

355
00:27:32,030 --> 00:27:30,910
kind of thing that's going to keep it

356
00:27:35,490 --> 00:27:32,040
that way

357
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:35,500
real smooth shot every bit of it Jerry

358
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:42,010
yeah protoman beautiful well done young

359
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:42,690
man

360
00:28:03,270 --> 00:27:46,450
outstanding I cannot imagine that scar
