1 00:00:02,860 --> 00:00:03,379 ARMSTRONG 2 00:00:03,379 --> 00:00:10,379 Good evening. This is the Commander of Apollo 11. A hundred years ago, Jules Verne wrote 3 00:00:11,230 --> 00:00:18,230 a book about a voyage to the moon. His spaceship, Columbia, took off from Florida and landed 4 00:00:18,770 --> 00:00:25,770 in the Pacific Ocean after completing a trip to the moon. It seems appropriate to us to 5 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:46,280 share with you some of the reflections of the crew as the modern day Columbia completes 6 00:00:47,220 --> 00:00:54,220 its rendezvous with the planet Earth in the same Pacific Ocean tomorrow. First, Mike Collins. 7 00:00:57,130 --> 00:00:57,970 COLLINS 8 00:00:57,970 --> 00:01:04,970 Roger. This trip of ours to the moon may have looked to you simple or easy. I'd like to 9 00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:14,960 say that that has not been a game. The Saturn V rocket which put us into orbit is an incredibly 10 00:01:17,180 --> 00:01:23,700 complicated piece of machinery, every piece of which worked flawlessly. This computer 11 00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:30,700 up above my head has a 38,000 word vocabulary, each word of which has been very carefully 12 00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:41,159 chosen to be of the utmost value to us, the crew. This switch which I have in my hand 13 00:01:42,450 --> 00:01:48,520 now has over 300 counterparts in the command module alone. There is one single switch designed. 14 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:55,520 In addition to that, there are myriads of circuit breakers, levers, rods, and other 15 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:03,080 associated controls. The SPS engine, our large rocket engine on the AFT end of our service 16 00:02:03,460 --> 00:02:09,659 module, must have performed flawlessly or we would have been stranded in lunar orbit. 17 00:02:09,659 --> 00:02:14,470 The parachutes up above my head must work perfectly tomorrow or we will plummet into 18 00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:21,470 the ocean. We have always had confidence that all this equipment will work and work properly, 19 00:02:21,489 --> 00:02:28,489 and we continue to have confidence that it will do so for the remainder of the flight. 20 00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:35,890 All this is possible only through the blood, sweat, and tears of a number of people. First 21 00:02:35,890 --> 00:02:39,870 the American workmen, who put these pieces of machinery together in the factory. Second, 22 00:02:39,870 --> 00:02:46,870 the painstaking work done by the various test teams during the assembly and retest after 23 00:02:50,670 --> 00:02:57,670 assembly. And finally, the people at the Manned Spacecraft Center, both in management, in 24 00:02:59,020 --> 00:03:06,020 mission planning, in flight control, and last, but not least in crew training. This operation 25 00:03:06,870 --> 00:03:12,319 is somewhat like the periscope of a submarine. Ail you see is the three of us, but beneath 26 00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:19,319 the surface are thousands and thousands of others. To all those, I would like to say 27 00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:30,230 thank you very much. 28 00:03:30,230 --> 00:03:37,230 CAPCOM 11, this is Houston. We're getting a good picture of Buzz now, but no voice modulation. 29 00:03:38,629 --> 00:03:45,629 And would you open up the F-stop on the TV camera, try 22, please? That appears to be 30 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:55,730 a lot better now. We're still not receiving Buzz's audio. 31 00:03:55,730 --> 00:03:56,409 ALDRIN 32 00:03:56,409 --> 00:04:02,620 Good evening. I'd like to discuss with you a few of the more symbolic aspects of the 33 00:04:02,620 --> 00:04:09,620 flight of our mission, Apollo 11. As we've been discussing the events that have taken 34 00:04:12,409 --> 00:04:19,409 place in the past 2 or 3 days here on board our spacecraft, we've come to the conclusion 35 00:04:21,029 --> 00:04:26,219 that this has been far more than 3 men on a voyage to the moon, more still than the 36 00:04:26,219 --> 00:04:31,800 efforts of a government and industry team, more even than the efforts of one nation. 37 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:38,059 We feel that this stands as a symbol of the insatiable curiosity of all mankind to explore 38 00:04:38,059 --> 00:04:45,059 the unknown. Neil's statement the other day upon first setting foot on the surface of 39 00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:53,550 the moon, "this is a small step for a man, but a great leap for mankind," I believe sums up these feelings very nicely. We accepted 40 00:05:05,509 --> 00:05:09,689 the challenge of going to the moon. The acceptance of this challenge was inevitable. The relative 41 00:05:09,689 --> 00:05:12,119 ease with which we carried out our mission, I believe, is a tribute to the timeliness 42 00:05:12,119 --> 00:05:16,860 of that acceptance. Today, I feel we're fully capable of accepting expanded roles in the 43 00:05:16,860 --> 00:05:23,860 exploration of space. In retrospect, we have all been particularly pleased with the call 44 00:05:24,139 --> 00:05:31,139 signs that we very laboriously chose for our spacecraft, Columbia and Eagle. We've been 45 00:05:31,169 --> 00:05:37,999 particularly pleased with the emblem of our flight. Depicting the US eagle, bringing the 46 00:05:37,999 --> 00:05:44,999 universal symbol of peace from the Earth, from the planet Earth to the moon, that symbol 47 00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:53,550 being the olive branch. It was our overall crew choice to deposit a replica of this symbol 48 00:05:53,550 --> 00:06:00,379 on the moon. Personally, in reflecting the events of the past several days, a verse from 49 00:06:00,379 --> 00:06:06,830 Psalms comes to mind to me. "When I considered the heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the 50 00:06:06,830 --> 00:06:13,830 moon and the stars which Thou hast ordained, what is man that Thou art mindful of Him." 51 00:06:26,219 --> 00:06:33,219 ARMSTRONG 52 00:06:35,689 --> 00:06:42,689 The responsibility for this flight lies first with, history and with the giants of science 53 00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:56,199 who have preceded this effort. Next to the American people, who have through their will, 54 00:06:59,330 --> 00:07:06,330 indicated their desire. Next to four administrations and their congresses, for implementing that 55 00:07:09,569 --> 00:07:16,149 will, and then to the agency and industry teams that built our spacecraft, the Saturn, 56 00:07:16,149 --> 00:07:23,149 the Columbia, the Eagle, and the little EMU, the spacesuit and back pack that was our small 57 00:07:28,649 --> 00:07:35,649 spacecraft out on the lunar surface. We would like to give a special thanks to all those 58 00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:45,879 Americans who built those spacecrafts, did the construction, the design, the tests, and 59 00:07:45,929 --> 00:07:52,929 put their, their hearts and all their abilities into those crafts. To those people, tonight 60 00:07:59,539 --> 00:08:06,539 we give a special thank you, and to all the other people that are listening and watching 61 00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:13,629 tonight, God Bless you. Good night from Apollo 11. 62 00:08:13,629 --> 00:08:16,509 PAO 63 00:08:16,509 --> 00:08:23,349 This is Apollo Control, 179 hours 9 minutes Ground Elapsed Time. During the past half 64 00:08:23,349 --> 00:08:28,319 hour there have been some exchanges between the spacecraft communicator Bruce McCandless 65 00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:34,680 here in Mission Control and the crew of Apollo 11. One item they're trying to sort out and 66 00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:41,680 troubleshoot some difficulties with the biomedical sensors attached to the chest of Command Module 67 00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:48,750 Pilot Mike Collins. Let's play back the accumulated tape and hopefully by the 68 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:55,720 time it's ended, we will have picked up communications again and we'll rejoin the conversation live. 69 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:56,750 Roll tape please. 70 00:08:56,750 --> 00:08:58,879 Houston, Apollo 11. 71 00:08:58,879 --> 00:09:03,129 Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over. 72 00:09:03,129 --> 00:09:10,129 SC Roger, I was in a thruster firing activity.

I'll do that right now. 82 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:26,800 CAPCOM Roger, and if Mike has a minute, we'd like to do a little bit of troubleshooting. 83 00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:35,079 It seems that he's either flat-chested or something because we've lost respiration rate 84 00:10:35,079 --> 00:10:38,029 on the biomed telemetry. That is, the ZPN trace down here is flat. 85 00:10:38,029 --> 00:10:45,029 SC He was shaving a little bit ago. He might not be finished. Hold on one. 86 00:10:50,420 --> 00:10:56,550 SC The whole blasted wires are connected is all I know. 87 00:10:56,550 --> 00:11:03,360 CAPCOM Okay, Mike. We had a request that you disconnect the yellow connector from the signal 88 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:09,259 conditioner and verify that it looks okay, reconnect it and then if you would check the 89 00:11:09,259 --> 00:11:14,459 two electrodes that is placed one on each side of your lower ribcage. Over. 90 00:11:14,459 --> 00:11:20,490 SC Okay, there's a smile on Charles Worth's face now. 91 00:11:20,490 --> 00:11:27,490 CAPCOM Cliff is not on right now.

We could see variations on our traces. You've connected and disconnected, 95 00:11:40,060 --> 00:11:47,060 but the medics still don't have a signal. Looks like you're sending us a message of 96 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,279 some sort. 97 00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:54,689 SC Well, I promise to let you know if I stop breathing. 98 00:11:54,689 --> 00:12:00,749 Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston broadcasting in the blind.

Before you turn in this evening you might try putting some 107 00:12:52,769 --> 00:12:58,689 fresh paste in the sensors and if that doesn't work the medics have agreed to forget about 108 00:12:58,689 --> 00:12:59,639 it. Over. 109 00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:06,300 SC Mike is out of the loop right now.

Say again. 112 00:13:13,459 --> 00:13:20,459 CAPCOM Roger, Mike. The trace on your respiration rate is still flat. If you have time this 113 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:30,620 evening before turning in, we would suggest that you try putting some fresh paste in the 114 00:13:30,620 --> 00:13:37,620 two electrodes that go on the side of your lower rib cage, and if that doesn't work just 115 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,040 give up on it. 116 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,769 SC Out. 117 00:13:48,769 --> 00:13:55,769 This is Apollo Control. Columbia now 85,198 nautical miles out from earth, approaching 118 00:13:59,439 --> 00:14:06,439 earth at a velocity of 6443 feet per second. Still standing by for resumption of air to 119 00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:16,399 ground communications 120 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:27,639 which may be difficult in as much as CAPCOM is leaving the room. We'll continue to monitor 121 00:14:36,139 --> 00:14:43,139 air to ground as the crew prepares for their pre-sleep checklists, sets up the passive 122 00:14:44,339 --> 00:14:51,339 thermal control mode and sacks out for about a 10-hour rest period in preparation for tomorrow's 123 00:14:53,939 --> 00:15:00,939 entry and subsequent recovery in the mid-Pacific aboard the carrier Hornet now hove-to on the 124 00:15:03,319 --> 00:15:10,319 aiming point or near the aiming point.

We're ready to talk about it, if you are. Over. 209 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:39,480 SC I think the quickest thing is go through page by page, the first part of the entry 210 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:53,880 checklist where it has a map. Starting on the page with compartment 211 00:27:08,830 --> 00:27:15,830 L2 and L3. Are you with me? 212 00:27:30,049 --> 00:27:37,049 CAPCOM Roger. With you. 213 00:27:42,169 --> 00:27:49,169 SC Okay. L2 is as shown.

Your PGA is in the L-shape bag with the other two PGAs and 220 00:30:06,210 --> 00:30:12,490 your helmet and gloves are in the L-shape bag instead of the sleep restraint. 221 00:30:12,490 --> 00:30:19,490 SC The helmet and gloves are in the hatch bag, the great big bag that's underneath the 222 00:30:27,620 --> 00:30:34,620 left hand couch that you put the hatch in. 223 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:41,029 CAPCOM Rog. I thought I, that's what I copied. Okay. Go ahead. 224 00:30:41,029 --> 00:30:48,029 SC Okay, the next page is identical except nitpicking point. At R 1 we got the entry 225 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:55,600 check list. Other than that it is identical and the third page has got some 226 00:30:57,230 --> 00:30:57,669 changes. 227 00:30:57,669 --> 00:30:58,980 CAPCOM Go ahead. 228 00:30:58,980 --> 00:31:05,309 SC In A 1, are you with me?

In B 2 we took PPK and put trash in it. In B 3 the 16 millimeter cable, the 240 00:32:35,850 --> 00:32:42,850 18 millimeter lens and the right angle mirror are on window number 04 and that's, that brings 241 00:32:47,049 --> 00:32:48,320 you all up-to-date. 242 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:53,190 CAPCOM Roger, how about the levers, Mike? Where did you put those, over? 243 00:32:53,190 --> 00:32:54,970 SC They're in the hatch bag. 244 00:32:54,970 --> 00:32:59,490 CAPCOM Roger. Standby, our only concern, 11, is with the stuff you got in the hatch bag. 245 00:32:59,490 --> 00:33:06,490 That's pretty big bulk between you and AA and we'd like to talk about moving that over 246 00:33:06,519 --> 00:33:09,620 to the sleep restraint. If you will standby I'll verify that, over. 247 00:33:09,620 --> 00:33:10,139 SC Okay. 248 00:33:10,139 --> 00:33:13,039 CAPCOM 11, Houston. Our recommendation on the gear you got in the helmet bag, correction 249 00:33:13,039 --> 00:33:16,759 the hatch kit bag, would be to remove that stuff and put it in the sleep restraint on 250 00:33:16,759 --> 00:33:20,210 the right couch. The reason is that the hatch bag traps are only configured for zero g and 251 00:33:20,210 --> 00:33:27,210 it is a pretty difficult job getting it latched down. With the gear in the sleep restraint, 252 00:33:28,879 --> 00:33:33,490 it's a pretty standard latch down procedure and you could also use the beta cord that 253 00:33:33,490 --> 00:33:40,490 you have onboard. You concur? Over. 254 00:33:42,820 --> 00:33:49,820 SC Yah, we'll look at it Charlie, and let you know. 255 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:13,360 CAPCOM Roger, and I got a couple of other things, Mike. We need to terminate battery 256 00:34:22,250 --> 00:34:29,250 B charge at this time and also the weather is clobbering in at our targeted landing point 257 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:40,520 due to scattered thunderstorms. We don't want to tangle with one of those so we are going 258 00:34:50,980 --> 00:34:56,530 to move the - your aim point up-range, correction, it will be downrange, to target for 1500 nautical 259 00:34:56,530 --> 00:35:01,240 mile entry so we can guarantee uplift control. The new coordinates are 13 degrees, 19 minutes 260 00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:08,240 north, 169 10 minutes west. The weather in that area is super. We got 2,000 scattered, 261 00:35:11,370 --> 00:35:18,370 8,000 scattered with 10 miles visibility and 6 foot seas and the Hornet is sitting in great 262 00:35:35,340 --> 00:35:42,340 position to get to that targeted position, over. 263 00:36:12,820 --> 00:36:19,820 PAO This is Apollo Control. To recap briefly the conversation a few moments ago between 264 00:36:23,470 --> 00:36:27,570 Charlie Duke and the crew of Columbia. Because of forecast thunderstorms in the prime recovery 265 00:36:27,570 --> 00:36:34,570 area in the mid-pacific for tomorrow the Apollo Spacecraft’s lifting capabilities will be 266 00:36:37,730 --> 00:36:44,730 used to stretch the entry path some 215 nautical miles farther down range toward Hawaii to 267 00:36:45,170 --> 00:36:47,320 a new landing point or aiming point with the very rough preliminary coordinates of 13 degrees 268 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:47,750 19 minutes north by 169 degrees 10 minutes west. These numbers will be refined through 269 00:36:47,750 --> 00:36:48,170 the night as the retrofire officer exercises the computer and comes up with more definitive 270 00:36:48,170 --> 00:36:48,630 numbers. These will be passed on as they are available. Apollo 11 now 75,951 nautical miles 271 00:36:48,630 --> 00:36:49,080 out from Earth approaching at 6999 feet per second.

All good nights having been said, the crew of Apollo 11 is 300 00:36:57,910 --> 00:36:58,420 now preparing to get their 10 hours rest and their last night in space. Here in the Control 301 00:36:58,420 --> 00:36:58,880 Center one of the 10 by 10 Eidophor television projectors, a drawing has been projected on 302 00:36:58,880 --> 00:36:59,290 the screen ribbing Capcom Charlie Duke for his slight error yesterday on the television 303 00:36:59,290 --> 00:37:06,290 pass where he mistook the moon for Earth. It has the spacecraft midway between the moon 304 00:37:07,790 --> 00:37:14,270 and Earth and it says, "Neil, I just spotted a continent on the moon. Charlie, the camera's 305 00:37:14,270 --> 00:37:21,270 on the Earth now." Apollo 11 now 74,906 nautical miles out from Earth approaching at 6954 feet 306 00:37:34,630 --> 00:37:41,630 per second.

We thought that was all 308 00:37:57,730 --> 00:38:01,890 the air-to-ground for tonight prior to the crew going to sleep, but just a few moments 309 00:38:01,890 --> 00:38:08,890 ago, there was a brief exchange reporting to Apollo 11 crew that the McDonald Observation 310 00:38:09,620 --> 00:38:16,620 in far West Texas had the spacecraft in their telescope field of view. Let's roll that tape 311 00:38:17,670 --> 00:38:20,950 now and then shut it down again. 312 00:38:20,950 --> 00:38:25,650 CAPCOM 11, Houston. We got some word just a moment ago that the McDonald Observatory 313 00:38:25,650 --> 00:38:30,110 is, said they had picked up the spacecraft in their telescope.

We'll pass it on to them, Neil. Thank you. 316 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:55,880 PAO This is Apollo Control. That completes the very brief exchange of a few moments ago. 317 00:38:56,870 --> 00:39:03,870 At 182 hours 11 minutes Ground Elapsed Time, this is Apollo Control. 318 00:39:06,100 --> 00:39:13,100 PAO This is Apollo Control, 183 hours, 25 minutes Ground Elapsed Time. Columbia spacecraft, 319 00:39:20,750 --> 00:39:27,750 now 69,520 nautical miles out from earth approaching 6-, as you were, 7,262 feet per second. Crew 320 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:43,160 now in their rest period, started their sleep period a little over an hour ago. To reiterate 321 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:57,320 the change in landing point, this is a weather avoidance situation where thunderstorms are 322 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:05,320 forecast for the aiming point, the original aiming point in the mid-Pacific. Therefore, 323 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:10,330 after the normal entry interface the lifting characteristics of the Apollo Command Module 324 00:40:10,330 --> 00:40:17,330 will be used to extend the entry range some 250 nautical miles farther down range toward 325 00:40:20,530 --> 00:40:27,530 Hawaii to a preliminary aiming point, that is the aiming point may shift around between 326 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:36,880 now and entry which is some 11 hours, 36 minutes from now. But at any rate the aiming point 327 00:40:38,790 --> 00:40:45,790 as calculated now is some 13 degrees 19 minutes north latitude by 169 degrees 10 minutes west 328 00:40:50,570 --> 00:40:57,570 longitude. The preliminary time of drogue decline is 195 hours, 12 minutes. As you were, 329 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:15,200 yes, 195 hours, I2 minutes, 4 seconds and the net extension over the earlier splash 330 00:41:22,540 --> 00:41:29,540 time is something like 40 seconds.

There 363 00:50:13,170 --> 00:50:20,170 will be a dramatic increase in velocity as the spacecraft gets closer in. Here in Mission 364 00:50:22,620 --> 00:50:29,620 Control Center the entry team headed up by Flight Director Milt Windler is beginning 365 00:50:31,710 --> 00:50:38,710 to come aboard. Hand over in progress from Gene Kranz white team. The crew is still asleep 366 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:49,600 at this time. They're some 6 hours, 34 minutes from entry interface. And at 188 hours, 29 367 00:50:55,460 --> 00:51:02,460 minutes Ground Elapse Time, this is Apollo Control. 368 00:51:04,730 --> 00:51:11,730 PAO This is Apollo Control at 188 hours 43 minutes. Mid-course correction number 7 has 369 00:51:17,300 --> 00:51:24,300 been cancelled and we will add one hour of rest time to the flight plan. Crew will be 370 00:51:26,170 --> 00:51:33,170 awakened at 190 hours elapsed time. To repeat, we have cancelled midcourse correction number 371 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:41,600 7 and we will allow the crew to sleep until 190 hours elapsed time. This is Mission Control 372 00:51:42,010 --> 00:51:49,010 Houston. 373 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:56,680 PAO This is Apollo Control at 189 hours 28 minutes. Apollo 11 is 40,961 nautical miles 374 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:13,200 from the Earth, approaching at a velocity of 9,671 feet per second. Midcourse correction 375 00:52:15,170 --> 00:52:22,170 number 7 has been cancelled and as a result we will let the crew sleep until an elapsed 376 00:52:22,830 --> 00:52:29,830 time of 190 hours. Weather in the recovery area, well, we're getting a call from Apollo 377 00:52:35,030 --> 00:52:35,700 11, now. Let's listen to that. 378 00:52:35,700 --> 00:52:38,790 SC Roger. What's the status on midcourse 7? 379 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:52,400 CAPCOM Roger. We were going to let you sleep in until about 190 hours. Midcourse 7 is not 380 00:53:08,380 --> 00:53:12,210 required. 381 00:53:12,210 --> 00:53:19,210 SC Okay. Thank you. 382 00:53:27,570 --> 00:53:34,570 PAO The crew gave us a call at 189 hours, 29 minutes. We advised them of the cancellation 383 00:53:38,490 --> 00:53:45,490 of the midcourse correction. Weather in the recovery area, skies will be partly cloudy. 384 00:53:48,310 --> 00:53:55,310 Cloud base is at 2000 feet scattered. Wind, east northeast at 18 knots, 6 foot sea, temperature 385 00:54:04,860 --> 00:54:11,860 80 degrees. This landing area is 215 miles to the northeast from the original landing 386 00:54:14,310 --> 00:54:21,310 area, moved because of thunder showers in the original area. This new location should 387 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:30,440 allow the recovery ship USS Hornet to arrive in Hawaii 4 to 5 hours earlier than originally 388 00:54:34,850 --> 00:54:41,850 planned. We expect that it may be possible for the carrier to arrive at Pearl Harbor 389 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:51,160 somewhere between 8 and 9 o'clock on July 26. That's Saturday. 390 00:55:09,980 --> 00:55:16,980 PAO The crew is probably preparing breakfast now and it's not likely we'll hear a lot from
