0
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:15,000


1
00:01:18,829 --> 00:01:21,331
Twenty seconds to drop.

2
00:01:22,624 --> 00:01:24,126
Arm switch lite check.

3
00:01:25,836 --> 00:01:27,879
Brakes out, check.

4
00:01:30,841 --> 00:01:32,134
What's your mixing chambers?

5
00:01:32,467 --> 00:01:35,679
Real rough up here, fluctuating
a half degree on each side.

6
00:01:35,887 --> 00:01:38,015
I see that.

7
00:01:39,641 --> 00:01:40,934
Ten seconds.

8
00:01:52,613 --> 00:01:55,991
Good on track, 15 seconds.
Huh?

9
00:03:25,997 --> 00:03:27,999
Give us a visual estimate
of your location.

10
00:03:30,335 --> 00:03:33,463
Okay. 140,000 feet.
On your way down.

11
00:03:41,638 --> 00:03:43,765
Approaching 115,000 feet.

12
00:03:44,474 --> 00:03:46,393
Should be regaining
aerodynamic control.

13
00:03:48,645 --> 00:03:49,771
Right turn.

14
00:03:56,903 --> 00:03:59,239
We show you ballooning,
not turning.

15
00:04:07,914 --> 00:04:10,751
Altitude rising.
A lot more right.

16
00:04:13,003 --> 00:04:14,921
Neil, you're bouncing off
the atmosphere.

17
00:04:20,802 --> 00:04:22,846
The altitude's still rising, Neil.

18
00:05:24,366 --> 00:05:26,701
You're gonna have to
stretch out your glide.

19
00:05:30,914 --> 00:05:32,499
You seem to be a tad short.

20
00:05:40,423 --> 00:05:42,175
Stow your flaps down, Neil.

21
00:06:07,617 --> 00:06:09,369
I'm down.

22
00:06:12,247 --> 00:06:14,082
Roger.

23
00:06:43,778 --> 00:06:45,113
You okay?

24
00:06:48,825 --> 00:06:49,868
Yeah.

25
00:06:50,785 --> 00:06:52,120
Okay, Neil.

26
00:06:56,124 --> 00:06:58,168
Kid's a good engineer.

27
00:06:58,460 --> 00:07:00,170
But he's distracted.

28
00:07:00,670 --> 00:07:02,172
He got home, Chuck.

29
00:07:02,297 --> 00:07:04,966
He bounced off the atmosphere and
still figured out how to get home.

30
00:07:05,050 --> 00:07:06,468
Third mishap this month.

31
00:07:06,551 --> 00:07:08,762
Bikle should ground him
before he hurts himself.

32
00:07:52,097 --> 00:07:54,224
There you go.

33
00:07:54,641 --> 00:07:56,226
It's okay.

34
00:07:56,893 --> 00:07:58,728
It's okay, sweetheart.

35
00:08:14,995 --> 00:08:16,287
What's that?

36
00:08:20,542 --> 00:08:22,085
Look. Who's that?

37
00:08:29,217 --> 00:08:30,677
Is that a kite?

38
00:08:32,637 --> 00:08:34,472
Does that fly in the sky?

39
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:35,640
Yeah.

40
00:08:36,599 --> 00:08:37,976
How?

41
00:08:41,021 --> 00:08:42,731
I see the moon

42
00:08:44,357 --> 00:08:47,444
The moon sees me

43
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:53,992
Down through the leaves
of the old oak tree

44
00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:01,041
Please let the light that
shines on me

45
00:09:02,876 --> 00:09:07,881
Shine on the one I love

46
00:09:09,090 --> 00:09:11,468
Maybe I should talk to
Dr. Johns about it.

47
00:09:12,260 --> 00:09:13,261
Who?

48
00:09:13,344 --> 00:09:15,138
Dr. Harold Johns.

49
00:09:16,139 --> 00:09:18,516
He developed a procedure
in Saskatchewan.

50
00:09:18,725 --> 00:09:20,560
So you'd go to Canada?

51
00:09:20,727 --> 00:09:22,771
I guess I would take
some time off.

52
00:09:23,396 --> 00:09:24,814
Why don't you
talk to the hospital?

53
00:09:24,981 --> 00:09:26,024
See if the tumor might...

54
00:09:26,107 --> 00:09:28,109
I spoke to them already.

55
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:31,362
I'm sorry, Neil.
I wish I had more to offer.

56
00:09:31,863 --> 00:09:34,491
That's okay, Jack. Appreciate it.
Of course.

57
00:09:35,408 --> 00:09:37,535
Give my love to June.
You got it.

58
00:09:37,619 --> 00:09:39,704
Okay, bye now.
Bye.

59
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,767
Now, who made that?
You or Grace?

60
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:01,935
Grace did.

61
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,895
I'll take it, then.

62
00:10:03,978 --> 00:10:05,814
Thank you.
Thank you.

63
00:10:06,397 --> 00:10:07,690
Dick Day called from Houston.

64
00:10:07,774 --> 00:10:09,234
He was asking after you.

65
00:10:09,317 --> 00:10:11,277
That about Gemini?

66
00:10:12,153 --> 00:10:15,281
They're looking for pilots with a
solid background in engineering.

67
00:10:16,241 --> 00:10:19,702
Well, maybe once
Karen starts feeling better.

68
00:10:20,537 --> 00:10:23,123
Just, you know, I wouldn't
wanna move her until then.

69
00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:28,128
Well, it would be nice
to keep you around.

70
00:10:28,837 --> 00:10:30,630
Enjoy the casserole.
Thank you.

71
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:32,048
You're welcome.

72
00:10:34,217 --> 00:10:35,552
Joe.
Hey, Jan.

73
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,554
You, uh, hanging in?

74
00:10:37,762 --> 00:10:39,639
Oh, you know.

75
00:10:41,558 --> 00:10:43,518
It's nice of you to come by.

76
00:10:43,726 --> 00:10:45,311
Of course.

77
00:10:48,606 --> 00:10:50,483
Night, now.

78
00:12:10,939 --> 00:12:12,273
Dad, wanna come play?

79
00:12:16,236 --> 00:12:18,238
I should, uh...

80
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,532
I have to help your mother.

81
00:13:49,787 --> 00:13:51,789
I thought I might go to work.

82
00:13:57,045 --> 00:13:58,755
Okay.

83
00:14:16,981 --> 00:14:18,358
They're gonna use
VTOL technology.

84
00:14:18,441 --> 00:14:20,151
They don't even have it
figured out how to get there yet.

85
00:14:20,234 --> 00:14:21,736
I'm not gonna
waste my time on...

86
00:14:23,404 --> 00:14:24,739
Morning.

87
00:14:26,783 --> 00:14:28,117
Neil.

88
00:14:28,826 --> 00:14:30,953
You can take
a few days off, you know.

89
00:14:32,580 --> 00:14:34,207
I know.

90
00:14:34,749 --> 00:14:38,920
I'm just getting up to speed on
the new delta wing in the UK.

91
00:14:40,838 --> 00:14:42,507
Bikle canceled the trip.

92
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:48,179
He wants you focused on writing up the
pilot report from your last flight.

93
00:14:55,937 --> 00:14:57,563
Am I grounded, Joe?

94
00:15:00,108 --> 00:15:02,276
Write up the report
on the bounce, okay?

95
00:16:01,544 --> 00:16:03,087
Civilian?

96
00:16:03,754 --> 00:16:06,090
Yeah.
Yeah. Me, too.

97
00:16:07,008 --> 00:16:09,218
Elliot.
Neil.

98
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:13,139
Tough morning, huh?

99
00:16:13,431 --> 00:16:15,892
I barely lasted two minutes
in that ice bath.

100
00:16:16,767 --> 00:16:18,686
Of course, I suppose
NASA's more interested

101
00:16:18,769 --> 00:16:20,313
in the psychological reaction.

102
00:16:21,814 --> 00:16:27,195
Well, I think I made it pretty
clear that I thought it was cold.

103
00:16:30,573 --> 00:16:31,616
Armstrong.

104
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:34,994
Good luck.

105
00:16:35,077 --> 00:16:36,120
And to you, too.

106
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,293
Another egghead.

107
00:16:42,502 --> 00:16:45,046
Neil, we've been chatting
with candidates about the program.

108
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:48,883
As you know, our decision
to forego direct ascent

109
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:51,177
in favor of a lunar orbit
rendezvous approach

110
00:16:51,260 --> 00:16:52,553
to the eventual Moon mission

111
00:16:52,637 --> 00:16:54,055
has had a major impact
on Gemini.

112
00:16:54,138 --> 00:16:55,681
Do you have any
thoughts on that decision?

113
00:16:57,350 --> 00:17:00,311
Well, even considering
von Braun's initial criticism,

114
00:17:00,394 --> 00:17:04,524
it seems that the payload saved by
parking the primary vehicle in orbit

115
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:07,818
and sending a smaller ship
down to the lunar surface

116
00:17:07,902 --> 00:17:09,654
is well worth
the resulting challenges.

117
00:17:09,737 --> 00:17:11,197
What do you see
as the challenges?

118
00:17:11,531 --> 00:17:13,366
Cislunar navigation, for one.

119
00:17:13,449 --> 00:17:14,909
And rendezvous and docking.

120
00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:16,827
Why do you think
spaceflight's important?

121
00:17:19,580 --> 00:17:25,336
I had a few, uh, opportunities in
the X-15 to observe the atmosphere.

122
00:17:26,087 --> 00:17:30,299
It was so thin,
such a small part of the Earth

123
00:17:30,383 --> 00:17:31,634
you could barely see it at all.

124
00:17:31,717 --> 00:17:34,470
And when you're down here in the
crowd and you look up, it...

125
00:17:35,221 --> 00:17:37,890
It looks pretty big and you don't
think about it too much, but...

126
00:17:39,225 --> 00:17:44,063
When you get a different vantage
point, it changes your perspective.

127
00:17:45,690 --> 00:17:49,944
I don't know what space
exploration will uncover,

128
00:17:50,027 --> 00:17:55,366
but I don't think it'll be exploration
just for the sake of exploration.

129
00:17:55,700 --> 00:18:00,621
I think it'll be more the fact
that it allows us to see things

130
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:04,667
that maybe we should've seen
a long time ago.

131
00:18:04,834 --> 00:18:09,380
But just haven't
been able to until now.

132
00:18:12,216 --> 00:18:14,343
Does anyone have anything else?
Yeah.

133
00:18:14,719 --> 00:18:16,637
Neil, I was sorry to hear
about your daughter.

134
00:18:19,682 --> 00:18:22,393
I'm sorry, is there a question?

135
00:18:22,643 --> 00:18:23,644
Um...

136
00:18:24,729 --> 00:18:28,482
What I mean is, uh,
do you think it will have an effect?

137
00:18:32,737 --> 00:18:34,989
I think it would be

138
00:18:35,072 --> 00:18:37,825
unreasonable to assume that
it wouldn't have some effect.

139
00:18:40,202 --> 00:18:41,412
All right, Neil.

140
00:18:41,495 --> 00:18:43,289
Thank you. That's fine.

141
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:47,168
Thank you.
Thank you for your time.

142
00:18:54,717 --> 00:18:56,052
Hello?

143
00:18:57,428 --> 00:18:58,638
Yeah, sure. Neil.

144
00:19:00,264 --> 00:19:02,141
Hello?
Can I go play outside?

145
00:19:02,558 --> 00:19:03,684
Yeah.

146
00:19:05,561 --> 00:19:07,063
Yes, sir.

147
00:19:09,565 --> 00:19:11,108
Thank you, sir.

148
00:19:15,196 --> 00:19:17,031
I got it.

149
00:19:23,663 --> 00:19:25,247
It's a fresh start.

150
00:19:26,999 --> 00:19:28,751
Are you sure?

151
00:19:30,336 --> 00:19:31,671
Yeah.

152
00:19:36,884 --> 00:19:38,052
Hey.

153
00:19:39,345 --> 00:19:40,971
It'll be an adventure.

154
00:19:58,948 --> 00:20:00,866
Since the time of Jules Verne,

155
00:20:00,950 --> 00:20:04,078
man has imagined
traveling to the Moon.

156
00:20:04,245 --> 00:20:06,205
The old idea
of how to get to the Moon

157
00:20:06,288 --> 00:20:09,542
was to send one spacecraft
all the way there and back.

158
00:20:09,792 --> 00:20:13,087
However, NASA engineers have
developed a modern approach.

159
00:20:13,254 --> 00:20:18,259
Where one rocket contains several ships
that will make the journey together.

160
00:20:18,426 --> 00:20:20,261
Just as Columbus took a rowboat

161
00:20:20,344 --> 00:20:23,097
from the Santa María
to the shore of the New World.

162
00:20:23,431 --> 00:20:25,933
The astronauts will
take a smaller spacecraft

163
00:20:26,016 --> 00:20:29,019
from the mothership
down to the lunar surface.

164
00:20:29,186 --> 00:20:31,772
When it's time to return,
the smaller craft

165
00:20:31,856 --> 00:20:33,524
will lift off from the surface

166
00:20:33,816 --> 00:20:37,778
and dock with the mothership, which
will then power the crew back to Earth.

167
00:20:38,028 --> 00:20:40,740
Thus, thanks to the brilliant
minds of NASA,

168
00:20:40,823 --> 00:20:43,200
the age-old dream
of going to the Moon

169
00:20:43,325 --> 00:20:45,202
will soon be achieved.

170
00:20:54,003 --> 00:20:56,297
Sputnik, Sputnik 2...

171
00:20:56,547 --> 00:20:58,090
Vostok. ..

172
00:20:58,174 --> 00:20:59,341
Gagarin.

173
00:20:59,592 --> 00:21:03,262
The Soviets have beaten us at every
single major space accomplishment.

174
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:05,181
Our program couldn't compete.

175
00:21:05,848 --> 00:21:08,225
So we've chosen to focus
on a job so difficult,

176
00:21:08,309 --> 00:21:10,895
requiring so many
technological developments,

177
00:21:11,353 --> 00:21:14,356
that the Russians are gonna
have to start from scratch.

178
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:16,192
As will we.

179
00:21:20,696 --> 00:21:22,156
Hi. I'm Pat.
Hi.

180
00:21:22,323 --> 00:21:25,409
Got here about a week before you,
so welcome to the neighborhood.

181
00:21:25,493 --> 00:21:27,828
Oh, that's so nice of you.

182
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:29,079
I'm Janet.

183
00:21:29,163 --> 00:21:30,998
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.

184
00:21:31,207 --> 00:21:33,959
So, instead of here, we go...

185
00:21:55,147 --> 00:21:56,148
Here.

186
00:21:56,649 --> 00:21:58,442
That's to scale. Check it.

187
00:21:58,734 --> 00:22:00,110
That's my husband, Ed.

188
00:22:00,194 --> 00:22:02,822
And that's Eddie Junior.
I don't know where Bonnie is.

189
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,782
You've got two?
I do.

190
00:22:05,032 --> 00:22:07,576
I see... Is this your first one?
Oh.

191
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:10,120
No, no.
We've got a boy, Rick.

192
00:22:10,496 --> 00:22:11,831
How old is he?

193
00:22:11,956 --> 00:22:13,249
He's five and a half.

194
00:22:13,499 --> 00:22:14,708
Oh, we should get them together.

195
00:22:14,959 --> 00:22:16,418
If we wanna get this done,

196
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:19,171
we need to prove that two ships
can find each other in orbit

197
00:22:19,255 --> 00:22:20,965
and dock without crashing.

198
00:22:21,632 --> 00:22:23,843
That's the primary mission
of Project Gemini.

199
00:22:24,260 --> 00:22:25,469
When we think you're ready,

200
00:22:25,553 --> 00:22:28,639
each of you will be assigned
a flight with a specific task.

201
00:22:28,889 --> 00:22:32,309
Only after we master all these
tasks do we move on to Apollo.

202
00:22:32,726 --> 00:22:34,353
Consider trying to land
on the Moon.

203
00:22:34,728 --> 00:22:36,105
It's nice to meet you.
And you, Pat.

204
00:22:36,188 --> 00:22:37,481
Bye.
Bye.

205
00:22:38,482 --> 00:22:39,984
Eddie! Put that down.

206
00:22:40,276 --> 00:22:41,527
Gus...

207
00:22:41,902 --> 00:22:43,237
You got anything to add?

208
00:22:44,363 --> 00:22:45,865
Just do your job.

209
00:22:49,285 --> 00:22:50,703
Almost to scale.

210
00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:56,000
The Multi-Axis Trainer was designed
to replicate roll coupling on three axes.

211
00:22:56,750 --> 00:22:58,794
The kind you might
encounter in space.

212
00:23:00,129 --> 00:23:04,800
The challenge is to stabilize the
machine before you pass out.

213
00:23:05,676 --> 00:23:08,220
First victim, Armstrong.

214
00:24:54,660 --> 00:24:55,869
White, you're up.

215
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:57,621
Yeah, I got it.

216
00:24:58,038 --> 00:24:59,039
I'm okay.

217
00:25:02,376 --> 00:25:03,544
Let's go again.

218
00:25:29,194 --> 00:25:30,779
Oh, fuck.

219
00:25:46,670 --> 00:25:48,839
Gentlemen, welcome to
Basic Rocket Physics.

220
00:25:49,256 --> 00:25:51,592
We'll just be covering
the first chapter tonight.

221
00:25:53,177 --> 00:25:55,512
When using a multi-stage
launch vehicle,

222
00:25:55,679 --> 00:25:59,683
it's necessary to determine what the
right sizing is of those stages.

223
00:26:38,555 --> 00:26:39,848
Hi.

224
00:26:40,015 --> 00:26:41,308
Hi.

225
00:26:44,353 --> 00:26:45,437
You okay?

226
00:26:45,813 --> 00:26:47,439
Yeah.

227
00:26:47,523 --> 00:26:50,901
Just thinking about this lecture.
It's kinda neat.

228
00:26:54,029 --> 00:26:55,739
What's neat about it?

229
00:26:57,741 --> 00:26:58,784
Well,

230
00:26:59,034 --> 00:27:02,079
it was about how to
rendezvous with the Agena.

231
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:05,207
If you thrust,
it actually slows you down

232
00:27:05,290 --> 00:27:06,834
because it puts you
into a higher orbit,

233
00:27:06,917 --> 00:27:09,670
so you have to reduce thrust
and drop into a lower orbit

234
00:27:09,837 --> 00:27:11,213
in order to catch up.

235
00:27:11,338 --> 00:27:13,423
It's backwards from what
they teach you as a pilot.

236
00:27:13,507 --> 00:27:17,845
But if you work the math,
it... It follows.

237
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,973
It's kinda neat.

238
00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:24,434
Yeah.

239
00:27:25,018 --> 00:27:26,145
What's funny?

240
00:27:26,353 --> 00:27:28,313
No, it's not funny.
It's just...

241
00:27:31,024 --> 00:27:32,609
It's kinda neat.

242
00:27:56,300 --> 00:27:58,010
Do you remember this?

243
00:27:59,803 --> 00:28:00,971
Yeah.

244
00:28:01,638 --> 00:28:03,557
I'm surprised that
you remember it.

245
00:29:03,951 --> 00:29:04,993
Great. Thank you.

246
00:29:05,118 --> 00:29:06,703
Thank you for having us.

247
00:29:06,787 --> 00:29:07,913
It's a pleasure.

248
00:29:08,205 --> 00:29:09,623
Carrie.

249
00:29:09,706 --> 00:29:11,166
Here you go.
Would you like some salad?

250
00:29:11,250 --> 00:29:13,919
Thank you.
That's a lovely piano, Pat. Do you play?

251
00:29:14,002 --> 00:29:16,213
Bonnie's taking lessons.
Mmm.

252
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:18,548
Well, perhaps we'll sing
for our supper.

253
00:29:20,634 --> 00:29:21,843
Neil plays piano?

254
00:29:22,010 --> 00:29:23,845
Neil knows
all kinds of show tunes.

255
00:29:24,096 --> 00:29:25,597
Janet...
Oh, come on.

256
00:29:25,681 --> 00:29:27,140
He was musical director
at his fraternity in college.

257
00:29:27,224 --> 00:29:28,308
Honey...

258
00:29:28,392 --> 00:29:30,185
Yeah, he wrote the musical
for the all-student revue.

259
00:29:30,269 --> 00:29:31,687
I didn't write the music.
Yeah, you did.

260
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:35,107
No, we used music
from Gilbert and Sullivan.

261
00:29:35,274 --> 00:29:36,817
Well, he wrote all-new lyrics.

262
00:29:37,526 --> 00:29:39,528
The Land of Egelloc.

263
00:29:40,028 --> 00:29:41,530
It was quite funny.

264
00:29:41,655 --> 00:29:44,658
The Land of Egelloc?

265
00:29:44,866 --> 00:29:46,118
Egelloc.
Mmm-hmm.

266
00:29:46,410 --> 00:29:47,577
You've never heard of it?

267
00:29:48,161 --> 00:29:49,246
I haven't.

268
00:29:49,413 --> 00:29:51,373
Oh, I'm surprised.
It's a distant land.

269
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:53,667
But, uh, it's a magical place.

270
00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:55,294
It's "college" spelled backwards.

271
00:29:59,006 --> 00:30:00,299
Seriously?

272
00:30:02,259 --> 00:30:03,343
Yep.

273
00:30:07,681 --> 00:30:10,475
You're, uh, backup on 5, huh?
Yeah.

274
00:30:10,642 --> 00:30:12,436
Don't worry, you'll get
your own mission soon.

275
00:30:13,145 --> 00:30:15,105
How's training going on 4?
It's good.

276
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:16,523
I think we're close on EVA.

277
00:30:17,357 --> 00:30:18,775
First man to walk in space.

278
00:30:19,318 --> 00:30:20,485
That'd be something, huh?

279
00:30:20,652 --> 00:30:23,113
Yeah. Well, you know,
the walking's the easy part.

280
00:30:23,447 --> 00:30:25,449
It's getting back inside
that's tough.

281
00:30:25,615 --> 00:30:28,702
You know, it'd be a hell of a ride to
come back with my tail hanging out.

282
00:30:28,869 --> 00:30:31,663
Oh, I think McDivitt will cut the
cord before that ever happens.

283
00:30:31,747 --> 00:30:34,207
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You throttle back there, Armstrong.

284
00:30:34,291 --> 00:30:36,168
Ed! Phone for you.
Yeah?

285
00:30:36,251 --> 00:30:37,836
Yeah, who is it?
It's Deke.

286
00:30:38,003 --> 00:30:39,004
Okay, hang on.

287
00:30:39,171 --> 00:30:40,547
I think that's Castor and Pollux.

288
00:30:41,715 --> 00:30:44,051
I was testing you.
And you passed.

289
00:30:44,968 --> 00:30:46,511
I thought about
letting it fly, but...

290
00:30:46,595 --> 00:30:47,679
Yeah.

291
00:30:52,726 --> 00:30:54,770
No, I'll turn it on right now.

292
00:30:55,562 --> 00:30:56,688
Hey, guys.

293
00:30:56,980 --> 00:30:59,149
With a Soviet
pressure suit, we're told,

294
00:30:59,232 --> 00:31:01,193
that was designed
for the lunar surface.

295
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,486
I'll call you back.

296
00:31:02,652 --> 00:31:06,406
This is, of course, mankind's first EVA,
or extravehicular activity.

297
00:31:06,573 --> 00:31:08,408
Within the American
space program,

298
00:31:08,575 --> 00:31:13,038
EVA is seen as one of the crucial
tests the astronauts must master

299
00:31:13,205 --> 00:31:16,541
if they are to successfully carry
out their mission to the Moon.

300
00:31:17,042 --> 00:31:19,836
Astronaut Ed White
was scheduled to perform

301
00:31:19,961 --> 00:31:22,881
the first EVA during Gemini 4.

302
00:31:23,256 --> 00:31:25,175
So this is yet
another major victory

303
00:31:25,258 --> 00:31:28,220
for the Soviet Union
in the Space Race.

304
00:31:38,146 --> 00:31:39,606
We got it from here.

305
00:31:40,941 --> 00:31:42,317
Thanks, Elliot.

306
00:31:50,325 --> 00:31:51,576
Eight days up there.

307
00:31:51,785 --> 00:31:54,079
To be honest, I'm kinda glad
we didn't get this one.

308
00:31:54,329 --> 00:31:56,373
Hope they don't kill each other.

309
00:31:58,542 --> 00:32:00,752
At least it'd be quieter around here.

310
00:32:09,886 --> 00:32:11,054
Neil!

311
00:32:13,890 --> 00:32:15,976
Neil Armstrong,
our backup commander.

312
00:32:16,226 --> 00:32:17,310
Buzz Aldrin.

313
00:32:17,394 --> 00:32:18,437
Roger Chaffee.

314
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,648
Couple of greenhorns from third group.
They'll be at blockhouse for launch.

315
00:32:21,982 --> 00:32:24,109
Listen, can I speak to you
for a minute?

316
00:32:24,192 --> 00:32:25,318
Fellas.

317
00:32:30,574 --> 00:32:33,118
We're putting you
in command of Gemini 8.

318
00:32:33,285 --> 00:32:34,744
Dave Scott is gonna be your pilot.

319
00:32:35,829 --> 00:32:38,790
We get the Agena back online.

320
00:32:39,374 --> 00:32:41,543
You're probably gonna be
the first to dock.

321
00:32:48,425 --> 00:32:51,178
Don't worry about Elliot.
We'll put that brain of his to work.

322
00:32:51,428 --> 00:32:55,348
We've got a big EVA planned for 8.
Dave's a workhorse.

323
00:32:56,641 --> 00:32:57,642
Yes, sir.

324
00:32:57,851 --> 00:32:59,895
I'll talk to you later today.
Thank you.

325
00:33:12,115 --> 00:33:16,036
My eye! My eye!

326
00:33:17,329 --> 00:33:18,830
Mr. Armstrong.

327
00:33:19,956 --> 00:33:21,291
When'd you start swimming?

328
00:33:21,458 --> 00:33:23,168
I don't remember exactly,
but I think school.

329
00:33:23,460 --> 00:33:24,544
In high school?

330
00:33:24,628 --> 00:33:28,507
Yeah. And we had a... We had a
summer house in northern Wisconsin

331
00:33:28,590 --> 00:33:30,884
and I just used to
go to the lake and fish

332
00:33:30,967 --> 00:33:33,428
and I just used to swim
for miles and miles.

333
00:33:33,512 --> 00:33:34,763
I've always loved it.

334
00:33:37,891 --> 00:33:40,018
Nothing quite compares
to your terrible life.

335
00:33:44,773 --> 00:33:45,857
You got it comin'.

336
00:33:51,404 --> 00:33:53,990
It's the longest bridge
in the world, but...

337
00:33:54,074 --> 00:33:56,201
It's the second-largest
suspension bridge in the world

338
00:33:56,284 --> 00:33:57,786
but these cables are the longest.

339
00:33:59,621 --> 00:34:01,206
Hey, Ed.
Oh, hi.

340
00:34:01,373 --> 00:34:03,041
Can I speak with Neil?

341
00:34:03,333 --> 00:34:06,086
Yeah, sure. Why don't you come on in?
You're soaked.

342
00:34:06,628 --> 00:34:09,631
No, I'll...
I'll wait here. Thanks.

343
00:34:11,424 --> 00:34:12,467
You could fly under there.

344
00:34:12,551 --> 00:34:14,344
That would hurt
if you jumped under it.

345
00:34:15,011 --> 00:34:18,723
What's that?
That would hurt if you jumped over it.

346
00:34:19,474 --> 00:34:20,725
Yeah.

347
00:34:20,892 --> 00:34:22,060
Uh, here are the sky pieces...

348
00:34:22,143 --> 00:34:23,562
Neil. Ed's outside.

349
00:34:24,145 --> 00:34:26,314
Okay. Excuse me, son.

350
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,401
Hi.

351
00:34:30,235 --> 00:34:31,403
Do you wanna come in?

352
00:34:31,570 --> 00:34:33,488
Some bad news about Elliot.

353
00:34:37,993 --> 00:34:40,078
No, I know. Deke told me
he bumped him, but...

354
00:34:40,161 --> 00:34:43,248
Neil, Elliot and Charlie were
flying into St. Louis this morning.

355
00:34:43,331 --> 00:34:45,792
Their T-38 crashed on approach.

356
00:34:51,172 --> 00:34:52,173
Oh.

357
00:34:57,512 --> 00:34:59,264
There was a lot of fog.

358
00:35:13,903 --> 00:35:16,698
So did you really fly
under that bridge?

359
00:35:22,454 --> 00:35:24,247
Was it fun?

360
00:35:25,457 --> 00:35:27,167
Were you scared?

361
00:35:27,626 --> 00:35:28,877
Ricky.

362
00:35:29,336 --> 00:35:30,378
Honey.

363
00:35:30,462 --> 00:35:33,089
Why don't you go and get your
homework so I can check it?

364
00:35:33,256 --> 00:35:34,257
Yes, ma'am.

365
00:35:40,805 --> 00:35:42,182
Who was it?

366
00:35:52,609 --> 00:35:53,610
Shit.

367
00:35:54,444 --> 00:35:55,945
How the hell did this happen?

368
00:35:56,655 --> 00:35:57,656
Mmm.

369
00:35:57,906 --> 00:36:00,575
Cernan told me cloud cover
was down to 500 feet.

370
00:36:00,992 --> 00:36:02,869
Probably never saw the building.

371
00:36:03,328 --> 00:36:04,913
Clearly, the error
was the approach.

372
00:36:04,996 --> 00:36:06,998
He was coming in too slow
to reach the runway.

373
00:36:12,045 --> 00:36:13,296
What?

374
00:36:15,548 --> 00:36:19,636
You know Deke had his doubts about
him, that's why he moved Elliot off 8.

375
00:36:20,887 --> 00:36:22,764
Deke gave Elliot
his own command.

376
00:36:23,473 --> 00:36:26,518
Elliot wasn't aggressive enough.
You of all people have to know that.

377
00:36:26,601 --> 00:36:28,061
No, I don't.

378
00:36:29,020 --> 00:36:31,272
I didn't investigate the crash.

379
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:36,027
I didn't study the flight trajectory.
And I wasn't the one flying the plane.

380
00:36:36,194 --> 00:36:38,738
So I wouldn't
pretend to know anything.

381
00:36:43,451 --> 00:36:45,495
We'll never be 100% sure.

382
00:37:33,209 --> 00:37:34,794
Can we go?

383
00:37:35,295 --> 00:37:36,296
Uh...

384
00:37:37,255 --> 00:37:39,966
Not right now. I wanna help
Marilyn clear all this up.

385
00:37:40,049 --> 00:37:42,385
I don't wanna have her do it
after we're gone.

386
00:37:48,391 --> 00:37:49,434
Neil?

387
00:37:58,193 --> 00:37:59,569
I'm sorry.

388
00:38:00,069 --> 00:38:01,863
I hate to be a bother.
Oh.

389
00:38:01,946 --> 00:38:04,616
Jan, it's no bother.
Oh, Jan. Yeah, no.

390
00:38:05,909 --> 00:38:07,160
Neil's, uh...

391
00:38:12,207 --> 00:38:15,043
There was a year
when we were at Edwards...

392
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:16,711
Four pilots died.

393
00:38:20,965 --> 00:38:23,301
We got good at funerals that year.

394
00:38:25,053 --> 00:38:26,930
We haven't been to one
in a while.

395
00:38:30,725 --> 00:38:32,936
Does he ever talk to you
about Karen, Ed?

396
00:38:34,687 --> 00:38:37,315
Not really. No.

397
00:38:40,527 --> 00:38:42,695
Does he talk to you about her?

398
00:38:43,780 --> 00:38:44,864
No.

399
00:38:47,492 --> 00:38:48,827
Never.

400
00:39:23,778 --> 00:39:24,946
Hey, buddy.

401
00:39:27,657 --> 00:39:29,409
You know,
you should be with Jan.

402
00:39:32,036 --> 00:39:33,663
Neil, you should be
playing with your kids.

403
00:39:33,955 --> 00:39:35,957
You know, putting them into bed.

404
00:39:37,625 --> 00:39:39,669
Times like these...
Do you think I'm standing out here

405
00:39:40,169 --> 00:39:43,131
in the backyard 'cause I
wanna talk to somebody, Ed?

406
00:39:44,007 --> 00:39:45,466
I'm sorry?

407
00:39:47,969 --> 00:39:50,722
Do you think I left there 'cause
I wanna talk to somebody?

408
00:40:13,077 --> 00:40:16,748
T-minus one minute and
counting on the Atlas-Agena launch.

409
00:40:45,735 --> 00:40:48,571
Liffoff.
Agena is go

410
00:40:51,824 --> 00:40:55,453
Flight dynamics for unmanned Agena
target vehicle looking good.

411
00:40:55,995 --> 00:40:58,081
Stand by for Gemini launch.

412
00:41:22,355 --> 00:41:23,523
Yeah.

413
00:41:37,620 --> 00:41:38,663
Okay.

414
00:41:44,002 --> 00:41:45,378
Guaymas, read you loud and clear.

415
00:41:45,545 --> 00:41:46,879
We have S band track.

416
00:41:47,046 --> 00:41:49,257
We have just locked up on T.M.

417
00:41:49,424 --> 00:41:50,591
All right.
Yeah, what's that?

418
00:41:50,758 --> 00:41:52,927
Did you say
all systems go on T.M.?

419
00:41:54,721 --> 00:41:55,763
Hold still, hold still.

420
00:41:55,847 --> 00:41:57,098
So, what is that?

421
00:41:57,265 --> 00:41:59,517
Wait. Hold on a second. Scoot...
Can you scoot down at all?

422
00:42:01,728 --> 00:42:02,729
Hey.
What are you doing?

423
00:42:02,895 --> 00:42:04,439
Does anybody got
a Swiss Army knife?

424
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:05,565
Hold on, hold on a sec.

425
00:42:05,732 --> 00:42:07,483
What'd you say?
See if this will do the trick.

426
00:42:07,650 --> 00:42:08,776
A Swiss Army knife?

427
00:42:08,943 --> 00:42:11,654
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
It's just a little...

428
00:42:12,363 --> 00:42:14,157
Are you kidding me?
There we go.

429
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:15,450
Good Lord.
You got it.

430
00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:17,160
Guaymas, Agena is go.

431
00:42:18,327 --> 00:42:19,537
Roger, Guaymas.

432
00:43:35,196 --> 00:43:36,906
Switching to HF.
One, two, three, four, five.

433
00:43:37,115 --> 00:43:39,242
Five, four, three,
two, one. Check out.

434
00:43:39,492 --> 00:43:41,160
Copy.
T-minus two minutes.

435
00:43:41,452 --> 00:43:42,620
Engines to start.

436
00:43:42,912 --> 00:43:44,163
Ground power removal.

437
00:43:44,413 --> 00:43:46,624
Stage 2 prevalves
coming open. Five seconds.

438
00:44:37,175 --> 00:44:39,343
T-minus 20 seconds.
Mark.

439
00:44:49,145 --> 00:44:51,898
Ten, nine,

440
00:44:52,273 --> 00:44:54,942

441
00:44:55,484 --> 00:44:59,447

442
00:44:59,739 --> 00:45:03,993
three, two, one.

443
00:45:04,952 --> 00:45:06,162
Ignition.

444
00:45:14,378 --> 00:45:16,339
Liftoff!

445
00:45:24,847 --> 00:45:27,058
Clock is running.
Got a roll program in.

446
00:45:27,141 --> 00:45:29,477
Roger. Roll.
Good liftoff, 8.

447
00:45:39,946 --> 00:45:42,448
Pitch program.
Roger. Pitch program.

448
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,168
DCS update received.

449
00:45:54,543 --> 00:45:55,920
Roger. DCS.

450
00:46:05,471 --> 00:46:07,139
Stage two tanks look good.

451
00:46:07,306 --> 00:46:08,891
That's about
three and a half g's.

452
00:46:46,929 --> 00:46:48,889
Go from the ground for staging.

453
00:46:49,015 --> 00:46:50,349
Roger.

454
00:47:04,613 --> 00:47:06,365
Fuel cells are solid.

455
00:47:07,783 --> 00:47:10,661
Gemini 8. Mark.
V over Vr

456
00:47:10,745 --> 00:47:12,830
is point zero eight.

457
00:47:13,289 --> 00:47:14,957
Okay. Mode three.

458
00:47:21,380 --> 00:47:22,923
We had SECO.

459
00:48:10,721 --> 00:48:14,183
"Fear that someone will break in

460
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,812
"and steal all of my

461
00:48:18,646 --> 00:48:20,398
"Hank Williams..."

462
00:48:20,481 --> 00:48:22,316
Roger.
Transmitting maneuver load.

463
00:48:23,067 --> 00:48:24,360
It's a height adjust.

464
00:48:26,112 --> 00:48:28,948
Height adjust.
Got DCS.

465
00:48:29,573 --> 00:48:32,284
Roger. And are you
ready to copy the update? Over.

466
00:48:32,660 --> 00:48:34,328
Okay, go with
the update, Hawaii.

467
00:48:34,662 --> 00:48:39,500
Roger.
GETB 1-3-4-3-7.

468
00:48:39,583 --> 00:48:42,211
Delta-V, two-decimal-nine.

469
00:48:42,294 --> 00:48:45,381
Burn time, zero plus zero-five.

470
00:48:46,966 --> 00:48:48,217
"Out of..."

471
00:48:48,342 --> 00:48:50,553
Hi.
Hey, Mom, can I get you anything?

472
00:48:52,930 --> 00:48:54,140
"Constant."

473
00:48:55,266 --> 00:48:59,562
Thrusters forward.
Maneuver retrograde. Did you copy?

474
00:48:59,854 --> 00:49:01,439
Roger, Hawaii. Got it.

475
00:49:01,730 --> 00:49:04,275
This is Paul Haney at Gemini
Control Houston.

476
00:49:04,358 --> 00:49:06,902
Our display chart shows
Gemini 8 in orbit.

477
00:49:07,069 --> 00:49:10,197
The crew will now attempt to find
the unmanned Agena spacecraft

478
00:49:10,281 --> 00:49:11,949
and dock with it.

479
00:49:30,551 --> 00:49:32,219
Burn end.
Good burn.

480
00:49:46,442 --> 00:49:48,402
Shouldn't we have a visual
on the Agena by now?

481
00:49:52,990 --> 00:49:55,117
Houston, I think
we overdid it a little.

482
00:49:55,326 --> 00:49:56,410
We should have stopped early.

483
00:49:56,619 --> 00:49:57,620
Roger.

484
00:49:58,037 --> 00:50:00,331
8, stand by for a correction.

485
00:50:03,751 --> 00:50:05,169
FIDO, Flight.
How we doing?

486
00:50:05,336 --> 00:50:06,921
Okay, we got a solid
track on both vehicles.

487
00:50:07,004 --> 00:50:08,005
Calculating for the burn.

488
00:50:08,172 --> 00:50:10,466
FIDO, Agena, do you
have what you need from us?

489
00:50:10,549 --> 00:50:13,469
FIDO, did you copy that?

490
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,513
Roger, Flight.
I copy.

491
00:50:15,763 --> 00:50:16,847
You guys getting this?

492
00:50:17,056 --> 00:50:19,183
We just have some ratty data
with the Gemini computer.

493
00:50:21,644 --> 00:50:23,270
Need the correction,
gentlemen, let's go.

494
00:50:23,562 --> 00:50:24,855
Sending it up now.

495
00:50:24,980 --> 00:50:27,858
Okay, CAPCOM, let's get it up to them.
This is Houston CAPCOM.

496
00:50:27,942 --> 00:50:29,276
We're gonna need you to
do another burn here

497
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,278
very shortly,
so stand by to copy.

498
00:50:31,820 --> 00:50:35,324
GET B 0-3-0-3-4-1.

499
00:50:36,033 --> 00:50:40,204
Uh, Delta-V is
two seconds posigrade.

500
00:50:40,538 --> 00:50:41,539
Two feet...

501
00:50:41,622 --> 00:50:44,041
Uh, Delta-V is
two feet posigrade.

502
00:50:45,042 --> 00:50:47,503
Uh, 8, do you copy?

503
00:50:51,799 --> 00:50:54,009
Mark.
Two feet posigrade...

504
00:50:54,093 --> 00:50:55,886
Give that back, Mark. Give that back.
Put it back on the table.

505
00:50:56,053 --> 00:50:57,513
That is correct.
Zero, zero, zero.

506
00:50:57,596 --> 00:50:59,640
Honey. Give me it.
It's really important.

507
00:50:59,723 --> 00:51:00,891
Let me know
what the results are.

508
00:51:01,308 --> 00:51:03,102
Give that back to Mom right now.

509
00:51:03,185 --> 00:51:04,478
Do you copy?

510
00:51:05,813 --> 00:51:07,690
Mark Armstrong, if you
don't give me that back...

511
00:51:07,856 --> 00:51:08,899
8, do you copy?

512
00:51:09,316 --> 00:51:10,818
I'm not joking, Mark.

513
00:51:11,402 --> 00:51:16,115
I'm getting a horrendous 20 to
25 feet per second down, Neil.

514
00:51:16,365 --> 00:51:18,367
I can't see
any possible reason for that.

515
00:51:18,659 --> 00:51:20,077
Where are we on the plot?
We're above it.

516
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:22,204
Right, but what does it look like if...
I can't.

517
00:51:22,288 --> 00:51:25,499
I'm sorry. I have to...
I have to look at this.

518
00:51:25,583 --> 00:51:27,167
Okay.
8, can you give us a status?

519
00:51:27,543 --> 00:51:29,878
No. I got too much to do.

520
00:51:30,212 --> 00:51:31,672
Copy. Standing by.

521
00:51:34,758 --> 00:51:36,677
Okay, we're gonna go
with a closed loop.

522
00:51:37,177 --> 00:51:38,345
Twenty-five forward,

523
00:51:38,554 --> 00:51:40,973
eight left, three up.

524
00:51:41,890 --> 00:51:43,601
And I'm going to rate command.

525
00:51:47,146 --> 00:51:49,815
Three, two, one,

526
00:51:49,898 --> 00:51:50,899
burn.

527
00:52:32,775 --> 00:52:33,942
Could be a planet.

528
00:52:34,777 --> 00:52:36,320
Could be.

529
00:52:41,659 --> 00:52:43,035
This is Houston,
we have your ground

530
00:52:43,118 --> 00:52:45,579
TPI backup
when you're ready to copy.

531
00:52:45,663 --> 00:52:47,831
Uh, stand by,
we have a visual on the Agena.

532
00:52:48,707 --> 00:52:51,168
At least something
we think looks like the Agena.

533
00:52:51,877 --> 00:52:54,922
Understand,
possible visual on the Agena.

534
00:52:55,464 --> 00:52:56,799
We're getting a little
out of plane now.

535
00:52:56,882 --> 00:52:59,927
Yeah. We gotta get three aft
and two and a half up.

536
00:53:00,010 --> 00:53:02,388
I'm gonna start braking.
Give me a digital range and rate.

537
00:53:08,185 --> 00:53:09,311
I better back off a bit.

538
00:53:09,603 --> 00:53:11,772
6,000 feet, 31 feet per second.

539
00:53:16,193 --> 00:53:18,696
Put in a little to the left.
1,680 feet.

540
00:53:26,578 --> 00:53:28,372
That's unbelievable.

541
00:53:29,039 --> 00:53:30,624
Would you look at that?

542
00:53:40,384 --> 00:53:41,760
You tell 'em.

543
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:50,811
Houston, we're station-keeping
on the Agena about 150 feet.

544
00:53:52,104 --> 00:53:55,065
Okay, stay focused, gentlemen.
We're only halfway there.

545
00:53:56,066 --> 00:53:57,568
Thanks for the extra hands.

546
00:54:03,323 --> 00:54:04,908
Stay focused, gentlemen.

547
00:54:26,472 --> 00:54:28,015
Man, it flies easy.

548
00:54:28,182 --> 00:54:29,892
Does it really?

549
00:54:30,392 --> 00:54:32,644
The station-keeping,
it's just...

550
00:54:32,895 --> 00:54:34,646
It's like nothing.

551
00:54:44,156 --> 00:54:45,824
Uh, RKV, this is 8.

552
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,535
We're sitting about
two feet out.

553
00:54:49,411 --> 00:54:51,997
Roger. Stand by
for a couple of minutes here.

554
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:53,165
Roger.

555
00:54:54,374 --> 00:54:57,211
Okay, Gemini 8,
we have TM solid.

556
00:54:57,294 --> 00:55:00,547
You're looking good on the ground.
Go ahead and dock.

557
00:55:17,356 --> 00:55:20,609
Okay, we're gonna cycle
our Rigid-Stop switch now.

558
00:55:45,759 --> 00:55:47,052
Flight, we are docked.

559
00:55:57,938 --> 00:55:59,815
Someone call Cronkite!

560
00:56:00,023 --> 00:56:02,442
Have him tell the Soviets
that they can go screw!

561
00:56:02,818 --> 00:56:04,403
Get him on the phone, man.

562
00:56:04,486 --> 00:56:07,698
Hey, Pete! Hey, call those idiots
at Congress while you're at it!

563
00:56:07,781 --> 00:56:09,616
Yeah, I'll start
with Rhode Island.

564
00:56:11,159 --> 00:56:13,370
Oh, damn.

565
00:56:13,871 --> 00:56:15,747
Well done. Let's go
ahead and get a state vector

566
00:56:15,831 --> 00:56:17,249
on the combined spacecraft.

567
00:56:17,499 --> 00:56:20,043
Gemini 8, this is Houston CAPCOM.
Please stand by to copy.

568
00:56:20,127 --> 00:56:21,879
Check out my room like this.

569
00:56:21,962 --> 00:56:24,131
Look at all these papers.
I know.

570
00:56:24,631 --> 00:56:29,136
I spent days trying to work on
that, and now it's crumpled up.

571
00:56:29,595 --> 00:56:31,889
Look at my drawer.
I know.

572
00:56:32,055 --> 00:56:35,642
I had all my crayons in that, and
now look at all the crayons.

573
00:56:35,809 --> 00:56:37,311
But, Ricky, are you
telling me the full story?

574
00:56:37,477 --> 00:56:38,562
'Cause I'm not sure your
brother would do that.

575
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,813
Yes, I am telling you!

576
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:41,982
Don't you get angry with me.
Look at this!

577
00:56:43,150 --> 00:56:44,401
Don't get upset.

578
00:56:44,818 --> 00:56:45,986
Uh, 8, this is Houston.

579
00:56:46,361 --> 00:56:49,031
Uh, I've got a nodal update
for you. Stand by.

580
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:52,951
Okay, go ahead.
Rick!

581
00:56:53,035 --> 00:56:55,203
Roger.
Node 0-7-0-4-4-7...

582
00:56:55,370 --> 00:56:58,248
Okay, out here now.
Out here now.

583
00:56:58,332 --> 00:57:00,876
1-5-5-2 right ascension.

584
00:57:01,043 --> 00:57:03,545
Gemini 8, we're about
to have loss of signal.

585
00:57:03,629 --> 00:57:06,214
We'll pick you up over
the hill for Dave's EVA.

586
00:57:14,556 --> 00:57:15,641
Well...

587
00:57:16,683 --> 00:57:18,060
That's peculiar.

588
00:57:18,685 --> 00:57:20,062
Oh, good.

589
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,190
I'm hoping that's
just excess hydrogen.

590
00:57:23,690 --> 00:57:25,734
I think I'm gonna save mine for later.

591
00:57:25,943 --> 00:57:27,069
Little treat.

592
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:34,576
Uh, Neil, we're in a bank.

593
00:57:41,917 --> 00:57:44,294
We're not doing it.
It's not us. It must be...

594
00:57:44,378 --> 00:57:46,213
Shut off
the Agena's control systems.

595
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:48,131
Code 4-0-0...

596
00:57:48,298 --> 00:57:49,925
Agena control system shut down.

597
00:58:14,241 --> 00:58:15,909
Cycle the Agena.

598
00:58:16,618 --> 00:58:19,121
Turning it on.
Turning it off.

599
00:58:43,729 --> 00:58:47,107
I'm gonna cycle the ACME
and the propellant motor valves.

600
00:58:48,150 --> 00:58:49,943
Switching ADL to pitch.

601
00:58:50,485 --> 00:58:51,737
RL to pitch.

602
00:58:58,618 --> 00:59:00,579
Roll meter 200 and rising.

603
00:59:03,665 --> 00:59:04,708
Separate from the Agena.

604
00:59:07,502 --> 00:59:09,838
Setting Agena
to allow remote command.

605
00:59:09,921 --> 00:59:11,590
Switching on the DAC.

606
00:59:11,673 --> 00:59:14,217
Make sure you give it extra thrust
so we don't smash into the Agena.

607
00:59:14,301 --> 00:59:15,886
On my mark, undock.

608
00:59:18,138 --> 00:59:19,306
Two...

609
00:59:19,765 --> 00:59:21,058
One...

610
00:59:36,364 --> 00:59:38,617
OAMS propellant, 13%.

611
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:40,869
It's not the Agena. It's us.

612
01:00:03,350 --> 01:00:07,187
Gemini 8 coming back
into range in three, two, one.

613
01:00:07,479 --> 01:00:09,689
This is CSQ,
checking our comm link.

614
01:00:09,856 --> 01:00:11,358
How do you read?

615
01:00:14,194 --> 01:00:15,695
Gemini 8, how do you read?

616
01:00:15,987 --> 01:00:17,656
We have serious problems.

617
01:00:17,989 --> 01:00:19,950
We're tumbling
end over end up here.

618
01:00:20,033 --> 01:00:21,576
We're disengaged from the Agena.

619
01:00:22,994 --> 01:00:26,414
Okay, we got your
spacecraft free indication here.

620
01:00:26,581 --> 01:00:28,125
What seems to be the problem?

621
01:00:28,375 --> 01:00:30,544
We're rolling up and we can't
turn anything off.

622
01:00:30,710 --> 01:00:32,671
We're continuously
increasing in a left roll.

623
01:00:33,421 --> 01:00:34,422
CSQ, Flight.

624
01:00:34,506 --> 01:00:35,507
Go ahead, Flight.

625
01:00:35,715 --> 01:00:38,718
Did he say he cannot
turn the Agena off?

626
01:00:38,885 --> 01:00:41,429
No, he says he's
separated from the Agena

627
01:00:41,513 --> 01:00:44,015
and he's in a roll,
and he can't stop it.

628
01:00:44,099 --> 01:00:46,601
Flight, their roll meter
reads 270 and rising.

629
01:00:46,852 --> 01:00:50,272
At that rate, they'll be passing
out in about 40 seconds.

630
01:00:51,731 --> 01:00:52,899
Paul.

631
01:00:54,109 --> 01:00:55,235
Paul.

632
01:00:57,863 --> 01:00:59,823
Trying to stop the rates.

633
01:00:59,906 --> 01:01:01,283
We certainly have...

634
01:01:38,361 --> 01:01:39,571
You need to...

635
01:01:43,325 --> 01:01:45,619
Gemini 8, you need to...

636
01:01:52,542 --> 01:01:53,793
We can't...

637
01:02:15,690 --> 01:02:17,442
Close the RCS breakers.

638
01:02:20,612 --> 01:02:21,696
Dave!

639
01:02:21,780 --> 01:02:25,659
Gemini 8, did you say
you are closing RCS breakers?

640
01:02:27,035 --> 01:02:29,287
Are you initiating RCS?

641
01:02:30,705 --> 01:02:31,706
Gemini 8...

642
01:02:31,790 --> 01:02:35,669
Again, did you say
you are closing RCS breakers?

643
01:02:36,711 --> 01:02:38,797
You will not be able
to control your attitude.

644
01:03:05,657 --> 01:03:06,700
Okay.

645
01:03:06,992 --> 01:03:08,994
We're regaining control
of the spacecraft.

646
01:03:09,577 --> 01:03:10,912
Slowly in RCS direct.

647
01:03:13,581 --> 01:03:14,749
Roger.

648
01:03:15,750 --> 01:03:16,751
Roger. Copy.

649
01:03:16,835 --> 01:03:19,212
We're pulsing the RCS slowly.
It's all roll right.

650
01:03:20,171 --> 01:03:22,007
We're trying to kill
our roll rate here.

651
01:03:31,016 --> 01:03:32,892
Move us back to one ring.

652
01:03:33,476 --> 01:03:34,602
Copy.

653
01:03:45,363 --> 01:03:47,032
I want emergency
landing options.

654
01:03:47,115 --> 01:03:48,992
Wait until you find out
how much fuel there's left.

655
01:03:50,827 --> 01:03:52,370
Bob, what do you think?

656
01:03:53,872 --> 01:03:55,123
I think they'd better land now.

657
01:03:59,711 --> 01:04:00,754
Deke.

658
01:04:01,087 --> 01:04:02,547
Jan's outside.

659
01:04:18,313 --> 01:04:20,440
Jan, the ship is stable.
They're gonna be all right.

660
01:04:21,316 --> 01:04:22,525
He's okay, Jan.

661
01:04:22,734 --> 01:04:23,735
I need you to go home.

662
01:04:23,902 --> 01:04:25,362
Fine. Turn the box back on.

663
01:04:25,695 --> 01:04:26,696
I'll see what I can do...

664
01:04:26,780 --> 01:04:29,032
Now.
Turn the box back on now.

665
01:04:30,658 --> 01:04:31,868
Well, there's
security protocol that's...

666
01:04:31,951 --> 01:04:33,119
Well, I don't give a damn.

667
01:04:33,495 --> 01:04:35,205
I've got a dozen cameras
on my front lawn, Deke.

668
01:04:35,455 --> 01:04:36,748
Do you want me telling them
what's going on?

669
01:04:37,707 --> 01:04:40,335
Jan, you have to trust us.
We've got this under control.

670
01:04:40,418 --> 01:04:41,586
No, you don't.

671
01:04:41,669 --> 01:04:43,671
All these protocols
and procedures to make it

672
01:04:43,755 --> 01:04:45,757
seem like you have it
under control.

673
01:04:46,466 --> 01:04:49,636
But you're a bunch of boys
making models out of balsa wood.

674
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:51,930
You don't have
anything under control!

675
01:04:56,893 --> 01:05:01,106
Naha Rescue One
will be on station at splashdown.

676
01:05:01,731 --> 01:05:03,358
With a flotation collar.

677
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:05,443
Did you get the call signs?

678
01:05:06,361 --> 01:05:08,113
Uh, yeah.
It's Naha Rescue One

679
01:05:08,196 --> 01:05:09,697
and Naha Search One.

680
01:05:12,534 --> 01:05:16,371
Well, I'd like to argue with them
about the going home, but I'm

681
01:05:16,496 --> 01:05:19,082
not sure how we can.

682
01:05:20,125 --> 01:05:21,292
Yeah.

683
01:05:23,086 --> 01:05:27,590
I just keep thinking, is there
anything else that we forgot?

684
01:05:29,092 --> 01:05:31,469
We did everything,
as far as I know.

685
01:05:44,566 --> 01:05:49,237
Gemini 8 saw two complex vehicles
launched on the same day on time.

686
01:05:50,363 --> 01:05:52,824
We saw flawless rendezvous
and docking.

687
01:05:53,491 --> 01:05:56,870
All of which is tended to be
overshadowed by the malfunction.

688
01:05:57,370 --> 01:06:02,667
But I think we should focus on the
progress resulting from the mission.

689
01:06:04,127 --> 01:06:06,963
The board would like to focus
on the malfunction.

690
01:06:07,046 --> 01:06:10,175
Neil, walk us through the decision
to separate from the Agena.

691
01:06:13,636 --> 01:06:17,140
You mentioned that the rate of
revolution was more than once a second.

692
01:06:17,348 --> 01:06:18,808
How near were you
to being unconscious?

693
01:06:19,267 --> 01:06:21,936
Did you think to use the Agena
to stabilize the combined craft?

694
01:06:22,020 --> 01:06:23,229
We did.

695
01:06:23,855 --> 01:06:26,483
This was, uh, not successful.

696
01:06:27,317 --> 01:06:28,860
As I said, we initially assumed

697
01:06:28,943 --> 01:06:31,279
that the anomaly was with
the Agena control system.

698
01:06:31,696 --> 01:06:34,491
'Cause there was no way to know
that a thruster was causing the...

699
01:06:35,283 --> 01:06:40,205
If we could have, uh, isolated
each of Gemini's thrusters...

700
01:06:40,288 --> 01:06:41,956
If we'd had that capability
in the moment...

701
01:06:43,750 --> 01:06:44,918
Agence France.

702
01:06:45,001 --> 01:06:48,546
Did you have any feeling of anxiety
after the failure of the thrusters?

703
01:06:48,630 --> 01:06:50,048
In the midst of the spinning,

704
01:06:50,131 --> 01:06:54,511
did you seem to realize or feel the
presence of God closer than other times?

705
01:06:54,886 --> 01:06:58,556
With this so hot on the heels of the
loss of Charlie Bassett and Elliot See,

706
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:00,808
do you question whether
the program is worth the cost?

707
01:07:00,975 --> 01:07:02,185
In money and in lives?

708
01:07:14,739 --> 01:07:15,949
All right, thanks, guys.

709
01:07:16,032 --> 01:07:18,910
We've got a lot to discuss and we'll
be back in touch with you soon.

710
01:07:19,452 --> 01:07:20,537
Thank you.

711
01:07:22,205 --> 01:07:23,623
Mmm-mmm.

712
01:07:25,166 --> 01:07:27,210
No. So, we're using our thumb now, honey.
Oh.

713
01:07:27,418 --> 01:07:28,419
Okay.

714
01:07:32,423 --> 01:07:34,842
"Our Wild Ride In Space"?

715
01:07:34,926 --> 01:07:37,929
It's marketing, Mr. Armstrong.
NASA approval numbers are dropping.

716
01:07:38,096 --> 01:07:39,264
That's not my concern.

717
01:07:39,472 --> 01:07:40,473
Almost. Okay.

718
01:07:40,557 --> 01:07:43,142
I'm gonna finish wrapping your
brother's present. I'll be back.

719
01:07:43,226 --> 01:07:45,270
You practice that one.
I'll try.

720
01:07:47,063 --> 01:07:50,441
I'm not interested in how other
magazines are framing the story.

721
01:08:04,455 --> 01:08:06,249
Okay. Keep going.

722
01:08:08,585 --> 01:08:11,629
If it's any consolation, Ed was
a zombie for weeks after Gemini 4.

723
01:08:12,046 --> 01:08:13,047
Yeah?
Mmm-hmm.

724
01:08:15,425 --> 01:08:20,054
Yeah. I guess it must be,
uh, disorienting for them.

725
01:08:20,471 --> 01:08:21,723
Certainly.

726
01:08:23,016 --> 01:08:24,100
Yeah.

727
01:08:26,686 --> 01:08:27,979
God, Pat.

728
01:08:29,772 --> 01:08:32,567
I married Neil
'cause I wanted a normal life.

729
01:08:34,193 --> 01:08:36,487
I know. I know.

730
01:08:38,948 --> 01:08:42,243
He was just so different from all the other boys on campus.
Hmm.

731
01:08:43,953 --> 01:08:45,622
He'd been through the war.
You know?

732
01:08:46,623 --> 01:08:48,166
He knew what he wanted to do.

733
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:51,127
He just seemed so stable.

734
01:08:54,172 --> 01:08:56,257
I guess all I wanted
was stability.

735
01:09:02,847 --> 01:09:04,849
I've got a sorority sister
with a normal life.

736
01:09:05,350 --> 01:09:07,935
Yeah?
She married a dentist.

737
01:09:08,436 --> 01:09:11,314
Dentist. Sounds good.

738
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:12,732
He's home by 6:00 every night.

739
01:09:12,982 --> 01:09:16,527
And every few months, she calls
to say she wishes he weren't.

740
01:09:24,702 --> 01:09:26,037
Yeah.

741
01:09:31,250 --> 01:09:32,960
Still working, I see.

742
01:09:33,544 --> 01:09:34,545
Yeah.

743
01:09:35,463 --> 01:09:39,509
Well, I was gonna go
grab a beer at Dave's.

744
01:09:45,682 --> 01:09:47,183
Yeah, all right. Fine.

745
01:09:47,350 --> 01:09:48,768
I could use a beer.

746
01:09:57,402 --> 01:09:59,112
You know, I will say one thing.

747
01:10:00,113 --> 01:10:01,781
It's all I can think about,

748
01:10:02,115 --> 01:10:03,408
is getting back up there.

749
01:10:04,367 --> 01:10:06,202
Just caught a rough break.

750
01:10:06,744 --> 01:10:08,454
Well, you boys did
everything right.

751
01:10:09,163 --> 01:10:10,206
Everything.

752
01:10:10,373 --> 01:10:12,500
You know, I was talking about it
with Gus, and we both agreed.

753
01:10:12,667 --> 01:10:16,170
I did hear a little rumor that you
and Gus have been hanging out.

754
01:10:16,337 --> 01:10:17,839
You did?
Mmm-hmm.

755
01:10:17,922 --> 01:10:18,923
Hey.

756
01:10:19,424 --> 01:10:20,591
Is it true?

757
01:10:21,634 --> 01:10:23,136
Is what true?

758
01:10:26,973 --> 01:10:30,226
Deke pulled me aside and told me that
him and Gus want me on the crew.

759
01:10:32,061 --> 01:10:33,646
Of the first Apollo?

760
01:10:34,397 --> 01:10:35,398
Yeah.

761
01:10:36,065 --> 01:10:38,735
Yeah.
Holy shit, that's huge.

762
01:10:38,901 --> 01:10:40,445
Congratulations.

763
01:10:41,738 --> 01:10:43,156
I gotta shake your hand.

764
01:10:43,322 --> 01:10:44,365
Thanks, man.

765
01:10:44,532 --> 01:10:45,533
Wow.

766
01:10:45,700 --> 01:10:47,952
That Saturn's a monster, you're
in for one heck of a ride.

767
01:10:48,119 --> 01:10:49,245
It is.

768
01:10:49,328 --> 01:10:50,371
Oh, hey.

769
01:10:50,538 --> 01:10:53,583
You know Deke wants Gus to be the
first one on the Moon, so...

770
01:10:54,917 --> 01:10:57,587
Hey, that puts you in the LEM
with him for the landing.

771
01:10:57,754 --> 01:10:59,797
Oh, no.
Let's not get carried away.

772
01:10:59,964 --> 01:11:01,924
All right, get out of my house.
I gotta go to bed.

773
01:11:02,091 --> 01:11:04,343
I'm not kidding,
get out of my house.

774
01:11:07,138 --> 01:11:08,139
Neil.

775
01:11:09,891 --> 01:11:12,852
Hey, Neil. Don't bother sitting,
it's gonna be a short meeting.

776
01:11:13,644 --> 01:11:16,731
We've talked it through, we think it's
pretty clear. If you hadn't kept cool,

777
01:11:16,814 --> 01:11:19,358
you wouldn't be here and we'd still
be asking what the hell happened.

778
01:11:19,525 --> 01:11:21,194
So would Congress.
It's a showstopper.

779
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,653
This mission was a success.

780
01:11:22,987 --> 01:11:24,614
We're full steam ahead for Apollo.

781
01:11:24,822 --> 01:11:25,907
You good with that?

782
01:11:25,990 --> 01:11:27,950
Yes, sir.

783
01:11:28,117 --> 01:11:30,536
I trust you won't mind representing
us at the White House.

784
01:11:32,830 --> 01:11:33,998
No, sir.

785
01:11:34,165 --> 01:11:35,249
Good.

786
01:11:35,708 --> 01:11:36,834
Thank you.

787
01:11:36,918 --> 01:11:38,169
Thank you.

788
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:40,505
Thank you.

789
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:44,300
"Interface problems and
develop operational techniques

790
01:11:44,467 --> 01:11:48,638
"for the most efficient use
of onboard capabilities."

791
01:11:48,805 --> 01:11:50,181
What?

792
01:11:55,019 --> 01:11:57,939
I got one. I got one.

793
01:11:58,105 --> 01:12:00,066
No!
I got one.

794
01:12:00,233 --> 01:12:02,527
I don't know why you're laughing.
He's gonna do that to you in a minute.

795
01:12:02,777 --> 01:12:05,154
This time, I'm gonna put
this one in the freezer.

796
01:12:05,321 --> 01:12:06,364
You need a hand?

797
01:12:06,447 --> 01:12:07,782
Yeah.
Okay, in you go.

798
01:12:07,865 --> 01:12:08,908
Can you open the freezer?

799
01:12:08,991 --> 01:12:10,535
Let's keep him for
longer and then he won't...

800
01:12:10,618 --> 01:12:11,953
In you go.

801
01:12:23,089 --> 01:12:24,298
I got one.

802
01:12:24,674 --> 01:12:25,883
I got one.

803
01:12:26,300 --> 01:12:28,094
Because I want to.
Who did what?

804
01:12:28,261 --> 01:12:30,388
Me.
Have you seen his room?

805
01:12:30,471 --> 01:12:32,223
Son, go stand in the corner.

806
01:12:37,270 --> 01:12:38,938
It's not funny.

807
01:12:42,024 --> 01:12:43,651
Thanks a lot, Mark!

808
01:12:43,734 --> 01:12:45,319
Stop laughing.
You're lying!

809
01:12:45,486 --> 01:12:46,779
Punish him.
Just you stop it.

810
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:48,865
You're the reason he's upset.

811
01:12:48,948 --> 01:12:50,408
Your mother's not
laughing, she's crying.

812
01:12:50,491 --> 01:12:52,785
I'm not laughing, I'm crying.

813
01:12:57,206 --> 01:12:58,749
I gotta tell you.

814
01:12:59,166 --> 01:13:02,211
Eddie's started asking questions
about the new command module.

815
01:13:02,753 --> 01:13:04,338
Is that right?
Yeah.

816
01:13:04,630 --> 01:13:07,592
He wants to know if it's gonna
fly any different to Gemini.

817
01:13:08,050 --> 01:13:10,803
If the little buttons are gonna
be in the same place.

818
01:13:11,804 --> 01:13:13,222
Oh, boy.
Yeah.

819
01:13:13,598 --> 01:13:15,766
You got yourself
a little engineer there.

820
01:13:16,517 --> 01:13:17,852
I tell you, though,

821
01:13:18,352 --> 01:13:20,062
I love that he's interested.

822
01:13:22,773 --> 01:13:25,443
Came in the other morning,
he did.

823
01:13:25,610 --> 01:13:28,154
Comes runnin' up
and he says, "Daddy,

824
01:13:28,905 --> 01:13:31,657
"if you go to the Moon, are you
gonna be lonely out there?

825
01:13:31,866 --> 01:13:34,035
"So far away from the Earth.

826
01:13:36,829 --> 01:13:38,998
"All of us back here at home."

827
01:13:41,834 --> 01:13:44,545
This whole thing is
expanding his horizons.

828
01:13:46,672 --> 01:13:48,549
It, uh, gives me faith.

829
01:13:50,343 --> 01:13:51,969
It make sense?

830
01:13:55,973 --> 01:13:58,643
Walkers got a new swing set.

831
01:14:00,561 --> 01:14:02,104
Yeah, I noticed that.

832
01:14:12,323 --> 01:14:16,702
We had a swing like that
back up in Juniper Hills.

833
01:14:20,998 --> 01:14:22,875
Karen really loved it.

834
01:14:26,545 --> 01:14:28,255
That's your daughter?

835
01:14:37,390 --> 01:14:39,642
Guess I ought to be
gettin' home.

836
01:15:30,651 --> 01:15:31,986
Closing hatches now.

837
01:15:39,201 --> 01:15:40,536
Okay, that's all of 'em.

838
01:15:40,619 --> 01:15:41,704
Thanks, Ed.

839
01:15:44,999 --> 01:15:46,208
Ablative hatch closed.

840
01:15:46,917 --> 01:15:49,170
Closing the boost
protective cover.

841
01:15:50,796 --> 01:15:52,548
And plugs out.

842
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:04,143
Ready for oxygen purge.

843
01:16:15,529 --> 01:16:18,824
Guys, you wanna hold down the chatter?
We're on open mic.

844
01:16:18,991 --> 01:16:20,701
Let's hold the countdown.

845
01:16:24,747 --> 01:16:26,624
Sorry, guys,
we'll get this squared.

846
01:16:26,874 --> 01:16:28,709
Shit, we're gonna be
here all night.

847
01:16:28,876 --> 01:16:30,211
Gus, we didn't get that.

848
01:16:30,377 --> 01:16:31,587
'Course you didn't.

849
01:16:34,590 --> 01:16:36,675
Glad you think this is funny.

850
01:16:43,933 --> 01:16:45,476
We finished strong with Gemini

851
01:16:45,559 --> 01:16:47,812
and we're very, very bullish
on Apollo, Senator.

852
01:16:47,895 --> 01:16:50,731
I should hope so, given the
time we've spent developing it.

853
01:16:50,815 --> 01:16:53,025
Half the country doesn't think
it's worth it anymore.

854
01:16:53,234 --> 01:16:54,485
Uh, well,

855
01:16:55,945 --> 01:16:59,698
we learned to fly
only 60 years ago,

856
01:17:00,908 --> 01:17:04,745
so if you consider the technological
developments in the context of history...

857
01:17:04,829 --> 01:17:08,040
I'm considering it in the
context of taxpayer dollars.

858
01:17:08,124 --> 01:17:09,583
And so are we, Senator.

859
01:17:09,750 --> 01:17:13,337
Between us, we're doing some final
tests on the new command module today.

860
01:17:13,546 --> 01:17:15,965
I'm sure Mr. Gilruth would be
happy to tell you about it.

861
01:17:16,090 --> 01:17:17,925
Let me introduce you to Bob.
Come on.

862
01:17:18,092 --> 01:17:19,218
Okay.

863
01:17:39,572 --> 01:17:41,365
Well, I haven't talked yet.
How's this?

864
01:17:41,448 --> 01:17:43,784
One, two, three, four, five,

865
01:17:44,410 --> 01:17:46,495
four, three, two, one.

866
01:17:53,586 --> 01:17:56,213
Uh, we need another
minute to get it sorted.

867
01:17:56,672 --> 01:18:00,134
How are we gonna get to the Moon if we
can't talk between three buildings?

868
01:18:00,843 --> 01:18:02,845
They can't hear a thing
you're saying.

869
01:18:04,138 --> 01:18:05,681
Jesus Christ.

870
01:18:05,848 --> 01:18:06,849
Say again?

871
01:18:07,016 --> 01:18:08,309
I said, how are we gonna
get to the Moon

872
01:18:08,392 --> 01:18:10,102
if we can't talk between
two or three buildings?

873
01:18:12,646 --> 01:18:14,064
You tell 'em, Gus.
You tell 'em.

874
01:18:14,148 --> 01:18:15,399
Mickey Mouse shit.

875
01:18:15,482 --> 01:18:18,027
I got a surge
in the AC bus two voltage.

876
01:18:18,736 --> 01:18:20,571
Try resetting the meter.
You getting this, Gus?

877
01:18:22,156 --> 01:18:25,910
Rog, you picking anything up on the dials?

878
01:18:35,753 --> 01:18:37,504
Hey, we got a fire
in the cockpit.

879
01:18:43,385 --> 01:18:45,095
Hey, we got a bad fire!

880
01:18:49,558 --> 01:18:51,435
We're burning up in here!

881
01:19:02,321 --> 01:19:05,824
Mr. Armstrong? I have Deke
Slayton on the phone for you.

882
01:19:06,033 --> 01:19:07,034
Oh.

883
01:19:07,368 --> 01:19:08,535
Right this way.

884
01:19:16,752 --> 01:19:18,003
Thank you.

885
01:19:18,170 --> 01:19:19,421
Well, I'm glad you called.

886
01:19:19,588 --> 01:19:22,049
I'm not sure if I'm helping
or hurting over here.

887
01:19:22,216 --> 01:19:24,635
Neil, we had a problem
with the plugs-out test.

888
01:19:24,802 --> 01:19:27,680
Well, that's why
we have tests, right?

889
01:19:27,846 --> 01:19:29,348
We'll figure it out.

890
01:19:29,515 --> 01:19:31,058
There was a fire.

891
01:19:32,768 --> 01:19:35,271
God, there's no easy way
to say this.

892
01:19:35,813 --> 01:19:37,815
Ed, Gus, and Roger...

893
01:19:38,941 --> 01:19:40,317
They're gone.

894
01:19:45,281 --> 01:19:48,534
We think it was a wiring issue.
A spark in all that oxygen.

895
01:19:48,617 --> 01:19:50,452
It happened very quickly.

896
01:19:50,577 --> 01:19:53,706
Now, listen, we need you guys
to head back to the hotel.

897
01:19:53,872 --> 01:19:55,416
The press is gonna be
all over this.

898
01:19:55,499 --> 01:19:58,085
Congress is gonna be
calling for investigations.

899
01:19:58,585 --> 01:20:01,630
We just don't want you guys
in the middle of all that.

900
01:20:03,215 --> 01:20:05,092
Do you understand?

901
01:20:06,927 --> 01:20:08,095
Yeah.

902
01:20:10,723 --> 01:20:12,057
All right, then.

903
01:20:14,935 --> 01:20:16,270
Okay.

904
01:20:47,509 --> 01:20:51,055
A lot of people forget about
the influence that the lunar program has

905
01:20:51,138 --> 01:20:53,515
on the raising of our young
people in the country.

906
01:20:53,766 --> 01:20:55,934
I think that if a civilization
doesn't look out,

907
01:20:56,018 --> 01:20:58,687
if it doesn't try to
expand its horizons,

908
01:20:58,771 --> 01:21:02,149
then we're not going
to progress as a nation.

909
01:21:03,942 --> 01:21:05,652
At 10:30 tonight, Eastern Time,

910
01:21:05,736 --> 01:21:09,114
rescue teams began to remove the
bodies of the three astronauts

911
01:21:09,198 --> 01:21:11,575
from the charred spacecraft.

912
01:21:11,742 --> 01:21:16,038
A NASA spokesman said the dead astronauts
were left in the ship for four hours

913
01:21:16,121 --> 01:21:18,791
to aid the investigation
into the tragedy.

914
01:21:20,084 --> 01:21:22,419
And according to the latest
information from NASA

915
01:21:22,503 --> 01:21:24,463
at the Manned Spacecraft
Center in Houston,

916
01:21:24,546 --> 01:21:28,175
the first Apollo flight, which
was scheduled for February...

917
01:21:40,354 --> 01:21:43,273
Winds are pretty rough today.
Keep an eye on your yaw.

918
01:21:43,899 --> 01:21:45,442
Copy. Correcting.

919
01:21:56,203 --> 01:21:57,329
1,000 feet.

920
01:21:57,496 --> 01:21:58,497
Switching to lunar mode.

921
01:22:02,126 --> 01:22:03,377
Final landing approach.

922
01:22:06,922 --> 01:22:08,340
You're too low. Climb!

923
01:22:11,009 --> 01:22:12,010
Control is degrading.

924
01:22:12,970 --> 01:22:14,054
Slow your rates.

925
01:22:15,139 --> 01:22:16,723
Do you read?

926
01:22:17,433 --> 01:22:18,434
Neil?

927
01:23:22,915 --> 01:23:24,333
The vehicle's not safe.

928
01:23:24,416 --> 01:23:26,668
Unfortunately, it's the best
simulation we have.

929
01:23:26,752 --> 01:23:28,337
And you and the others
are too valuable.

930
01:23:28,420 --> 01:23:30,088
It's a fly-by-wire system
that's got no backup.

931
01:23:30,172 --> 01:23:31,590
The ejection seat is the backup.

932
01:23:31,673 --> 01:23:33,634
Political fallout from another
accident will compromise our...

933
01:23:33,717 --> 01:23:36,512
With all due respect, sir, it's not my job
to worry about the political fallout.

934
01:23:36,595 --> 01:23:38,430
The damn thing could've killed you.
Well, it didn't.

935
01:23:38,514 --> 01:23:40,265
A split second more
and you would not be...

936
01:23:40,349 --> 01:23:41,433
Well, we need to fail.

937
01:23:41,517 --> 01:23:44,144
We need to fail down here,
so we don't fail up there.

938
01:23:44,228 --> 01:23:45,646
Okay, Neil, Neil.

939
01:23:46,271 --> 01:23:48,357
At what cost, huh?

940
01:23:49,316 --> 01:23:50,901
At what cost?

941
01:23:51,568 --> 01:23:55,864
Well, it's a little bit late for
that question, isn't it, sir?

942
01:24:03,872 --> 01:24:05,874
They raise their voices,
their placards,

943
01:24:06,041 --> 01:24:07,417
and they march
against the government.

944
01:24:07,584 --> 01:24:10,170
But some go farther, burning
Selective Service cards

945
01:24:10,337 --> 01:24:11,588
and obstructing the draft.

946
01:24:11,713 --> 01:24:15,384
Most dissenters confine themselves
to this kind of protest activity.

947
01:24:15,551 --> 01:24:18,679
Hey! Hey! LBJ!
How many kids did you kill today?

948
01:24:19,471 --> 01:24:23,642
Hey! Hey! LBJ!
How many kids did you kill today?

949
01:24:28,063 --> 01:24:29,189
Pat?

950
01:24:43,829 --> 01:24:44,871
Pat?

951
01:24:46,707 --> 01:24:47,833
You okay?

952
01:24:48,166 --> 01:24:49,459
Yes.

953
01:25:07,686 --> 01:25:09,187
Why don't we go inside?

954
01:25:37,090 --> 01:25:38,091
Hi.

955
01:25:43,221 --> 01:25:44,765
Are you okay? Jesus!

956
01:25:45,182 --> 01:25:46,308
Oh, I'm fine.

957
01:25:46,558 --> 01:25:47,559
Look at your face.

958
01:25:47,684 --> 01:25:48,810
Excuse me.

959
01:25:52,564 --> 01:25:54,107
Dad, wanna come play?

960
01:25:54,358 --> 01:25:55,442
Ricky.
Uh...

961
01:25:56,151 --> 01:25:58,153
Boys, go on. Go on.

962
01:25:58,403 --> 01:26:00,238
I know, I know, I know.
Dad's fine.

963
01:26:00,322 --> 01:26:02,949
Go on, go back outside.
Go back, go back.

964
01:26:07,663 --> 01:26:09,748
What happened?

965
01:26:09,998 --> 01:26:10,999
Um...

966
01:26:14,127 --> 01:26:15,337
I, uh...
Jesus.

967
01:26:15,420 --> 01:26:18,757
I just remembered I left
something at the office.

968
01:26:33,271 --> 01:26:36,566
You've lately taken a
couple of swipes at the space program.

969
01:26:36,775 --> 01:26:39,778
I think it would be interesting
to talk more about

970
01:26:39,861 --> 01:26:42,656
whether this is the proper thing
to do with the public treasury.

971
01:26:42,739 --> 01:26:44,408
The sort of dreams I would have

972
01:26:44,491 --> 01:26:46,868
would be a habitable
New York City, for instance.

973
01:26:46,952 --> 01:26:49,788
It would seem to me that that would
be a reasonable thing to do.

974
01:26:50,038 --> 01:26:52,791
What has been the
reaction of your friends in this?

975
01:26:52,874 --> 01:26:54,751
Well, they mostly
think that it's ridiculous

976
01:26:54,876 --> 01:26:56,503
that we're spending
so much money

977
01:26:56,586 --> 01:26:59,047
to go somewhere where we
don't know anything about.

978
01:26:59,131 --> 01:27:02,384
And that the money could be used
for a lot more helpful things.

979
01:27:08,515 --> 01:27:10,142
Power to the people!

980
01:27:10,308 --> 01:27:12,436
A rat done bit my sister Nell

981
01:27:12,602 --> 01:27:14,312
With Whitey on the Moon

982
01:27:15,105 --> 01:27:17,274
Her face and arms begin to swell

983
01:27:17,441 --> 01:27:19,025
And Whitey's on the Moon

984
01:27:20,235 --> 01:27:22,154
I can't pay no doctor bills

985
01:27:22,404 --> 01:27:24,030
But Whitey's on the Moon

986
01:27:25,115 --> 01:27:27,200
Ten years from now
I'll be payin' still

987
01:27:27,409 --> 01:27:29,286
While Whitey's on the Moon

988
01:27:29,995 --> 01:27:34,332
The man just upped my rent last
night and Whitey's on the Moon

989
01:27:34,958 --> 01:27:36,835
No hot water
no toilets, no lights

990
01:27:37,002 --> 01:27:38,670
But Whitey's on the Moon

991
01:27:40,172 --> 01:27:42,466
I wonder why he's upping me

992
01:27:42,632 --> 01:27:44,217
'Cause Whitey's on the Moon?

993
01:27:45,051 --> 01:27:47,637
Well, I was already
giving him, like, 50 a week

994
01:27:47,804 --> 01:27:49,347
And Whitey's on the Moon

995
01:27:49,431 --> 01:27:50,974
Jesus, that's a big mother.

996
01:27:51,099 --> 01:27:52,642
It's a political rush job.

997
01:27:52,893 --> 01:27:54,936
Congress wouldn't fund us
to come in second.

998
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:57,814
Why else would NASA
be sending a rocket

999
01:27:57,898 --> 01:28:00,317
that's had one issue
after another to the Moon?

1000
01:28:00,734 --> 01:28:02,778
Thanks for the insight, Buzz.

1001
01:28:05,197 --> 01:28:06,948
Always a pleasure with you.

1002
01:28:09,367 --> 01:28:11,411
It doesn't matter,
he's not in the lunar lottery.

1003
01:28:11,495 --> 01:28:12,704
And you are?

1004
01:28:12,913 --> 01:28:16,875
Well, the only guys they let on
the LLTV since Neil's accident

1005
01:28:17,042 --> 01:28:18,168
are ones that might land.

1006
01:28:18,418 --> 01:28:19,669
So you think
you're going to the Moon?

1007
01:28:20,337 --> 01:28:22,380
It's been up for grabs
since Gus died.

1008
01:28:24,216 --> 01:28:26,468
I'm just saying
what you're thinking.

1009
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:33,225
Well, maybe you shouldn't.

1010
01:28:38,772 --> 01:28:42,567
Apollo 8 clearing the
VAB and headed toward the launchpad.

1011
01:28:48,573 --> 01:28:50,033
Hell of a rocket.

1012
01:28:50,867 --> 01:28:52,077
Yeah.

1013
01:28:53,328 --> 01:28:56,540
Everything stays on track,
11's gonna be the landing.

1014
01:28:56,623 --> 01:28:58,875
I talked to Bob,
everyone's in agreement.

1015
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:00,836
We'd like you to command.

1016
01:29:08,051 --> 01:29:09,177
Okay.

1017
01:29:15,058 --> 01:29:16,726
...helicopter vectored that way.

1018
01:29:16,893 --> 01:29:19,896
It looks like a red dot
with along, long tail.

1019
01:29:20,105 --> 01:29:22,232
A long plume. That's got
to be the spacecraft.

1020
01:29:22,399 --> 01:29:24,776
That has to be
Apollo 10 reentering.

1021
01:29:25,902 --> 01:29:28,280
And so, the flight of Apollo 10

1022
01:29:28,363 --> 01:29:32,200
has performed the major
function of its mission.

1023
01:29:32,284 --> 01:29:35,328
It has proved, through these
daring three astronauts,

1024
01:29:35,412 --> 01:29:38,039
that all of the systems work properly

1025
01:29:38,123 --> 01:29:42,586
and that there should be no reason why
man cannot, perhaps as early as July,

1026
01:29:42,669 --> 01:29:46,548
land on that picked spot
on the Moon's equator.

1027
01:29:46,715 --> 01:29:50,385
These are sailors of the sky,
and what we've seen

1028
01:29:50,552 --> 01:29:55,932
and heard today make the great ocean
voyages of the earthbound seem,

1029
01:29:56,099 --> 01:29:58,101
well, earthbound indeed.

1030
01:29:58,184 --> 01:30:01,229
For as the poet wrote,
the crew of Apollo 10

1031
01:30:01,313 --> 01:30:04,190
has "slipped the surly bonds of Earth"

1032
01:30:04,357 --> 01:30:06,067
and carried us over into tomorrow.

1033
01:30:06,151 --> 01:30:07,444
In the past few hours,

1034
01:30:07,527 --> 01:30:10,196
man has come closer to the
Moon than ever in his history.

1035
01:30:10,488 --> 01:30:12,866
There were those
terrifying moments when...

1036
01:30:12,949 --> 01:30:14,784
Mom, what's wrong?
Hmm?

1037
01:30:15,493 --> 01:30:16,912
What's wrong?

1038
01:30:17,704 --> 01:30:19,164
Nothing, honey.

1039
01:30:20,582 --> 01:30:22,542
Your dad's going to the Moon.

1040
01:30:23,251 --> 01:30:24,294
Okay.

1041
01:30:26,296 --> 01:30:27,964
Can I go outside?

1042
01:30:28,715 --> 01:30:29,966
Sure.

1043
01:30:35,305 --> 01:30:39,935
Uh, we're here today
to talk about the forthcoming flight.

1044
01:30:40,018 --> 01:30:42,562
But we're able to talk about it

1045
01:30:42,646 --> 01:30:44,648
because of previous flights.

1046
01:30:45,649 --> 01:30:48,026
Every flight took on new objectives,

1047
01:30:48,401 --> 01:30:52,197
and left us with very few
additions to be completed.

1048
01:30:52,572 --> 01:30:53,990
We're very grateful
to those people

1049
01:30:54,074 --> 01:30:55,909
who made it possible for us
to be here today.

1050
01:30:57,035 --> 01:30:58,912
All right,
we'll take some questions now.

1051
01:30:59,788 --> 01:31:00,789
Jim?

1052
01:31:00,872 --> 01:31:03,625
Neil, when you learned you were
going to command this flight,

1053
01:31:03,792 --> 01:31:06,127
were you surprised?
Overjoyed?

1054
01:31:06,544 --> 01:31:07,837
I was pleased.

1055
01:31:07,921 --> 01:31:09,923
Okay, but how would you
compare this feeling

1056
01:31:10,006 --> 01:31:12,509
to winning an automobile or
being selected as an astronaut?

1057
01:31:15,303 --> 01:31:16,805
I was pleased.

1058
01:31:18,348 --> 01:31:19,349
Brian?

1059
01:31:19,432 --> 01:31:21,768
Neil, if it does turn out,

1060
01:31:22,060 --> 01:31:23,478
you'll go down in history.

1061
01:31:23,561 --> 01:31:26,272
What kind of thoughts do you have about
that when the thought hits you...

1062
01:31:26,356 --> 01:31:28,274
"Uh, gosh, suppose
that flight's successful..."

1063
01:31:28,358 --> 01:31:30,026
We're planning on that flight
being successful.

1064
01:31:30,652 --> 01:31:31,736
Uh...

1065
01:31:32,278 --> 01:31:35,657
I just meant how you feel
about being a part of history.

1066
01:31:36,533 --> 01:31:38,660
I think I can shed
some light here.

1067
01:31:39,661 --> 01:31:41,454
It's a responsibility,

1068
01:31:42,497 --> 01:31:44,874
but it's exciting
to be the first.

1069
01:31:45,750 --> 01:31:47,669
Even my wife is excited.

1070
01:31:47,752 --> 01:31:51,006
She keeps slipping jewelry
into my PPK.

1071
01:31:52,215 --> 01:31:54,300
You're planning on taking
some of her jewelry to the Moon, Buzz?

1072
01:31:54,384 --> 01:31:55,427
Sure.

1073
01:31:55,552 --> 01:31:59,180
What fella wouldn't wanna
give his wife bragging rights?

1074
01:31:59,806 --> 01:32:00,849
Neil,

1075
01:32:00,932 --> 01:32:02,434
will you take anything?

1076
01:32:03,309 --> 01:32:05,562
Uh, if I had a choice,
I'd take more fuel.

1077
01:32:06,730 --> 01:32:08,481
All right, next question.

1078
01:32:20,952 --> 01:32:23,246
I thought you were
gonna talk to the boys.

1079
01:32:23,872 --> 01:32:25,874
What did you want me to say?

1080
01:32:27,250 --> 01:32:29,044
What do you wanna say?

1081
01:32:29,127 --> 01:32:31,254
You're the one
that's going away.

1082
01:32:31,337 --> 01:32:34,257
Well, it's too late now.
They're asleep.

1083
01:32:36,718 --> 01:32:38,219
No, they're not, Neil.

1084
01:32:39,220 --> 01:32:40,889
You know they're not.

1085
01:32:41,514 --> 01:32:43,308
Why can't you talk to them?

1086
01:32:44,559 --> 01:32:46,102
What are you doing?

1087
01:32:48,730 --> 01:32:49,731
Uh...

1088
01:32:50,148 --> 01:32:51,316
I'm packing.

1089
01:32:52,358 --> 01:32:56,196
No. You're just killing time
until you can get in the car.

1090
01:33:02,494 --> 01:33:04,120
Okay.
Okay.

1091
01:33:08,416 --> 01:33:10,502
Neil, I need you
to talk to the boys.

1092
01:33:12,796 --> 01:33:14,255
Can you hear me?

1093
01:33:16,174 --> 01:33:18,009
I need you to talk to the boys.
What are you doing?

1094
01:33:19,427 --> 01:33:20,512
Stop.
I'm going to work.

1095
01:33:20,595 --> 01:33:21,888
Well, just stop it.

1096
01:33:22,055 --> 01:33:24,474
Just stop...
Just stop packing!

1097
01:33:38,613 --> 01:33:40,824
What are the chances
you're not coming back?

1098
01:33:42,325 --> 01:33:44,869
Hmm? What are the chances this is the
last time the boys are gonna see you?

1099
01:33:44,953 --> 01:33:46,579
Well, I can't give you
an exact number.

1100
01:33:46,663 --> 01:33:49,582
I don't want
a fucking number, Neil!

1101
01:33:52,168 --> 01:33:55,630
It's not zero, is it?
Is it?

1102
01:33:57,882 --> 01:34:00,385
No.
No, it's not.

1103
01:34:01,928 --> 01:34:03,721
Pat doesn't have a husband.

1104
01:34:04,764 --> 01:34:08,184
Those kids, they don't
have a father anymore.

1105
01:34:10,478 --> 01:34:12,313
Do you understand
what that means?

1106
01:34:14,357 --> 01:34:17,110
What are the chances that's
gonna be Ricky and Mark?

1107
01:34:18,570 --> 01:34:22,532
And I... I can't tell 'em
that their dad spent

1108
01:34:22,699 --> 01:34:25,243
the last few minutes
packing his briefcase!

1109
01:34:27,537 --> 01:34:29,122
You're gonna sit 'em down.

1110
01:34:29,372 --> 01:34:30,832
Both of them.

1111
01:34:30,999 --> 01:34:34,419
And you're gonna prepare them for the
fact that you might not ever come home.

1112
01:34:34,627 --> 01:34:37,213
You're doing that. You.

1113
01:34:38,173 --> 01:34:39,465
Not me.

1114
01:34:41,259 --> 01:34:42,468
I'm done.

1115
01:34:49,434 --> 01:34:52,145
So you better start thinking
about what you're gonna say.

1116
01:35:14,626 --> 01:35:18,713
Jimmy asked what you're gonna
say when you get onto the Moon.

1117
01:35:23,801 --> 01:35:27,347
Well, we're not sure we're
gonna get onto the Moon. Uh...

1118
01:35:28,723 --> 01:35:31,684
A lot of things have to go
right before that happens.

1119
01:35:32,727 --> 01:35:35,063
How long will you be gone?

1120
01:35:35,730 --> 01:35:36,731
Um...

1121
01:35:36,814 --> 01:35:38,942
Well, we launch in 10 clays,
we'll be up for eight,

1122
01:35:39,025 --> 01:35:40,860
and then about a month
in quarantine.

1123
01:35:40,944 --> 01:35:42,445
What's quarantine?

1124
01:35:43,571 --> 01:35:46,115
We'll be in isolation.

1125
01:35:48,910 --> 01:35:51,454
Uh, to protect in case we

1126
01:35:52,997 --> 01:35:56,084
carry any diseases
from the lunar surface

1127
01:35:56,876 --> 01:36:00,338
or something of that nature.
It's not likely, but it's a precaution.

1128
01:36:02,048 --> 01:36:04,717
So you won't be here
for my swim meet?

1129
01:36:14,602 --> 01:36:15,728
No.

1130
01:36:18,439 --> 01:36:19,607
Sorry.

1131
01:36:30,618 --> 01:36:33,037
Does anyone have
any other questions?

1132
01:36:35,790 --> 01:36:37,709
Do you think you're coming back?

1133
01:36:38,876 --> 01:36:40,920
We have real confidence
in the mission.

1134
01:36:41,254 --> 01:36:43,381
And, uh, there are some risks,

1135
01:36:43,464 --> 01:36:46,050
but we have every intention
of coming back.

1136
01:36:46,384 --> 01:36:48,261
But you might not.

1137
01:37:02,984 --> 01:37:04,402
That's right.

1138
01:37:13,995 --> 01:37:15,079
Okay.

1139
01:37:16,748 --> 01:37:18,333
Okay. Time for bed.

1140
01:37:54,035 --> 01:37:58,956
"Fate has ordained that the men who
went to the Moon to explore in peace

1141
01:37:59,248 --> 01:38:01,959
"will stay on the Moon
to rest in peace.

1142
01:38:02,251 --> 01:38:05,963
"These brave men,
Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin,

1143
01:38:06,047 --> 01:38:09,092
"know there is no hope
for their recovery.

1144
01:38:09,550 --> 01:38:12,178
"They will be mourned
by their families.

1145
01:38:12,762 --> 01:38:14,639
"They will be mourned
by a Mother Earth

1146
01:38:14,806 --> 01:38:18,726
"that dared send two of her
sons into the unknown.

1147
01:38:20,019 --> 01:38:23,815
"For every human being who looks up
at the Moon in the nights to come

1148
01:38:23,981 --> 01:38:27,652
"will know that there is
some corner of another world

1149
01:38:27,819 --> 01:38:30,196
"that is forever mankind."

1150
01:38:31,197 --> 01:38:35,952
"Prior to the statement, President will
telephone each of the widows-to-be.

1151
01:38:36,411 --> 01:38:40,039
"A clergyman will adopt the same
procedure as a burial at sea,

1152
01:38:40,706 --> 01:38:44,710
"commending their souls
to the deepest of the deep."

1153
01:38:46,421 --> 01:38:47,797
Any thoughts?

1154
01:38:49,799 --> 01:38:51,426
Sounds fine.

1155
01:42:20,217 --> 01:42:22,219
T-minus two minutes and counting.

1156
01:42:39,528 --> 01:42:42,114
Twenty seconds and counting.

1157
01:42:43,491 --> 01:42:46,661
T-minus 15 seconds.
Guidance is internal.

1158
01:42:46,994 --> 01:42:50,748
12, 11, 10, 9...

1159
01:42:50,831 --> 01:42:53,125
Ignition sequence start.

1160
01:43:58,649 --> 01:44:00,484
Tower cleared.

1161
01:44:59,877 --> 01:45:02,046
Mark. Mode One Charlie.

1162
01:45:02,129 --> 01:45:04,423
Houston, you are a go
for staging.

1163
01:45:31,033 --> 01:45:33,661
This is Apollo Control.
We're a minute from ignition

1164
01:45:33,744 --> 01:45:36,247
on trans-lunar
injection maneuver.

1165
01:45:36,455 --> 01:45:38,874
Okay, we're operate. 59:59.

1166
01:45:53,931 --> 01:45:59,436
Apollo 11, we track your
speed increasing to 36,000 feet per second.

1167
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:01,480
You are now leaving Earth orbit.

1168
01:46:01,605 --> 01:46:03,190
Apollo 11, roger.

1169
01:46:12,825 --> 01:46:14,493
We have cutoff.

1170
01:46:14,785 --> 01:46:15,828
Roger, 11.

1171
01:46:15,911 --> 01:46:18,205
It certainly looks like
you're well on your way now.

1172
01:46:18,289 --> 01:46:20,249
Okay, Houston,
we're about to SEP.

1173
01:46:20,416 --> 01:46:23,085
Mike, you got it?
It's your ship now.

1174
01:46:58,621 --> 01:47:00,414
And you can start PTC

1175
01:47:00,539 --> 01:47:01,665
at your convenience.

1176
01:47:01,832 --> 01:47:03,876
All right.
Thank you, Houston.

1177
01:47:11,675 --> 01:47:13,260
That smells funny.

1178
01:47:13,344 --> 01:47:15,679
Like, uh,
charred electrical insulation.

1179
01:47:17,389 --> 01:47:19,183
Might just be rocket fumes.

1180
01:47:21,518 --> 01:47:23,771
Did you bring any music?
No.

1181
01:47:24,813 --> 01:47:26,106
Here, Buzz.

1182
01:47:47,461 --> 01:47:50,172
Hey, Houston, are you hearing this?

1183
01:49:00,325 --> 01:49:03,328
Apollo 11,
now entering lunar orbit.

1184
01:49:03,412 --> 01:49:06,957
Your roll should give you a good
view in about two minutes. Over.

1185
01:49:07,791 --> 01:49:10,961
When you have a free minute, could
you give us your onboard readout

1186
01:49:11,045 --> 01:49:13,964
of N2 tank Bravo, please?

1187
01:49:14,131 --> 01:49:16,258
Nitrogen tank Bravo is showing

1188
01:49:16,425 --> 01:49:18,969
1960, something like that.

1189
01:49:19,136 --> 01:49:20,220
Roger.

1190
01:50:10,145 --> 01:50:12,231
Would you look at that?

1191
01:50:37,923 --> 01:50:39,341
This is a damn
three-ring circus.

1192
01:50:39,424 --> 01:50:42,803
I got a fuel cell purge in progress,
I'm watching an AUTO maneuver and...

1193
01:50:42,886 --> 01:50:44,304
Jesus Christ!

1194
01:50:44,388 --> 01:50:45,806
Normal, normal.

1195
01:50:45,889 --> 01:50:48,433
Houston, stand by
for AUTO alarm.

1196
01:50:48,851 --> 01:50:50,769
Neil, the, uh...
The voice tape recorder,

1197
01:50:50,853 --> 01:50:52,312
you know where that is?
I don't know.

1198
01:50:52,396 --> 01:50:54,606
All this food and stuff up here,
you want any of that?

1199
01:50:54,773 --> 01:50:55,774
No.

1200
01:50:55,983 --> 01:50:56,984
All right.

1201
01:50:57,192 --> 01:51:00,154
What about this chewing gum?
You want any of that?

1202
01:51:00,404 --> 01:51:01,572
Mike.

1203
01:51:05,742 --> 01:51:07,536
Come back, will you?

1204
01:51:09,663 --> 01:51:11,498
Apollo 11, Houston.

1205
01:51:11,582 --> 01:51:15,627
Let us know when you've entered the
LEM and closed up the hatch. Over.

1206
01:51:28,807 --> 01:51:32,269
Eagle, this is Houston.
We see the optics zero switch on.

1207
01:51:32,352 --> 01:51:33,896
Before you take some marks,

1208
01:51:33,979 --> 01:51:37,316
don't forget to cycle it back
off and on, and then on. Over.

1209
01:51:43,906 --> 01:51:45,657
Eagle, Houston,
could you give us a hack

1210
01:51:45,741 --> 01:51:48,535
on the time that you
switched to LEM power

1211
01:51:48,619 --> 01:51:52,581
and also verify that we're
on glycol pump 1? Over.

1212
01:51:54,333 --> 01:51:56,460
This is Eagle, we're on pump 1.

1213
01:51:56,919 --> 01:51:58,754
Roger.
Eagle, Columbia.

1214
01:51:58,962 --> 01:52:00,631
All 12 docking latches
are cocked.

1215
01:52:00,839 --> 01:52:02,090
I'm ready to button up
the hatch.

1216
01:52:02,174 --> 01:52:03,175
Roger.

1217
01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:07,638
I'm gonna start a maneuver
now to our undocking attitude.

1218
01:52:08,931 --> 01:52:10,515
Okay.

1219
01:52:33,497 --> 01:52:37,292
How about using, as an undocking
time, 100 hours and 12 minutes?

1220
01:52:38,752 --> 01:52:40,379
What have you got for AOS?

1221
01:52:40,462 --> 01:52:43,257
I have 100 hours and 16 minutes.

1222
01:52:43,548 --> 01:52:46,510
Eagle, keep an
eye on your descent engine fuel.

1223
01:52:46,677 --> 01:52:49,888
Continuous burn time is
limited to 910 seconds.

1224
01:52:50,180 --> 01:52:51,556
Over.

1225
01:52:53,350 --> 01:52:57,187
Apollo 11, Houston,
we are go for undocking. Over.

1226
01:53:09,616 --> 01:53:11,410
Fifteen seconds.

1227
01:53:17,624 --> 01:53:19,418
Okay, there you go.

1228
01:53:46,111 --> 01:53:48,905
Eagle, Houston.
We see you on the steerable. Over.

1229
01:53:48,989 --> 01:53:50,407
The Eagle is undocked.

1230
01:53:50,490 --> 01:53:51,825
Roger. How does it look?

1231
01:53:51,908 --> 01:53:53,744
The Eagle has wings.

1232
01:54:29,321 --> 01:54:30,614
It just won't stay.

1233
01:54:32,949 --> 01:54:34,618
Eagle, report status. Over.

1234
01:54:34,701 --> 01:54:36,286
We'll have to
tell them about that.

1235
01:54:37,162 --> 01:54:38,997
Let's prep for descent.

1236
01:54:39,664 --> 01:54:42,000
Eagle, Houston.
You're a go for powered descent.

1237
01:54:42,084 --> 01:54:43,710
Roger. Read you.

1238
01:54:49,424 --> 01:54:51,843
Altitude light's on,
we don't have radar data.

1239
01:54:57,766 --> 01:54:59,226
Let's proceed.

1240
01:55:01,019 --> 01:55:02,562
Proceed.

1241
01:55:03,105 --> 01:55:04,231
One...

1242
01:55:04,898 --> 01:55:05,899
Zero...

1243
01:55:06,066 --> 01:55:07,275
Ignition.

1244
01:55:18,036 --> 01:55:19,663
Program alarm.

1245
01:55:20,205 --> 01:55:21,706
What's a 1202 alarm?

1246
01:55:21,873 --> 01:55:23,250
I don't know.

1247
01:55:23,417 --> 01:55:26,336
Houston, give us a reading
on the 1202 program alarm.

1248
01:55:26,920 --> 01:55:29,005
Roger, we got you.
We're a go on that alarm.

1249
01:55:35,303 --> 01:55:36,805
Same alarm.

1250
01:55:36,972 --> 01:55:38,765
Roger.
We're a go on that alarm.

1251
01:56:04,124 --> 01:56:05,667
Okay, 3,000 at 70.

1252
01:56:05,750 --> 01:56:07,335
Roger. Understand.

1253
01:56:07,836 --> 01:56:10,213
Program alarm 1201.

1254
01:56:10,297 --> 01:56:12,132
Roger. 1201 alarm.

1255
01:56:16,136 --> 01:56:18,138
Same type. We're go.

1256
01:56:51,338 --> 01:56:53,256
Pretty rocky area.

1257
01:56:57,010 --> 01:56:59,179
Those boulders
are as big as cars.

1258
01:56:59,387 --> 01:57:00,722
We can't land there.

1259
01:57:09,356 --> 01:57:10,607
Going to manual.

1260
01:57:22,619 --> 01:57:23,995
540 feet, down to 30.

1261
01:57:24,579 --> 01:57:26,122
Watch your fuel.

1262
01:57:27,082 --> 01:57:28,792
330.

1263
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:30,794
300 feet, down three and a half.

1264
01:57:36,007 --> 01:57:37,175
Fuel's at 8%.

1265
01:57:41,513 --> 01:57:43,974
The radar's lost
track of the surface again.

1266
01:57:44,975 --> 01:57:47,269
160 feet, six and a half down.

1267
01:57:47,852 --> 01:57:50,146
Five and a half down,
nine forward.

1268
01:57:54,526 --> 01:57:56,611
Low level. Low level.

1269
01:57:57,237 --> 01:57:58,488
120 feet.

1270
01:57:58,905 --> 01:58:00,782
5% fuel remaining.

1271
01:58:03,326 --> 01:58:04,494
Quantity light!

1272
01:58:05,036 --> 01:58:08,582
Ninety-four seconds to bingo.
114's a mandatory abort.

1273
01:58:13,378 --> 01:58:14,963
Down to half, six forward.

1274
01:58:15,922 --> 01:58:17,799
Stand by for 60. Rog.

1275
01:58:18,216 --> 01:58:20,260
Sixty seconds.

1276
01:58:20,510 --> 01:58:22,095
40 feet, down two and a half.

1277
01:58:29,060 --> 01:58:30,270
Stand by for 30.

1278
01:58:30,353 --> 01:58:31,354
Thirty seconds.
Forward.

1279
01:58:35,650 --> 01:58:37,193
20 feet, down a half!

1280
01:58:43,617 --> 01:58:46,703
Faint shadow.
Drifting forward, just a little bit.

1281
01:59:18,568 --> 01:59:20,403
Contact light.

1282
01:59:21,988 --> 01:59:23,615
Shutdown.

1283
01:59:34,751 --> 01:59:37,003
We copy, you're down, Eagle.

1284
01:59:41,216 --> 01:59:42,509
Houston,

1285
01:59:43,009 --> 01:59:44,719
Tranquility Base here.

1286
01:59:47,555 --> 01:59:49,391
The Eagle has landed.

1287
01:59:49,933 --> 01:59:51,393
Roger, Tranquility.

1288
01:59:51,476 --> 01:59:52,977
We copy on the ground.

1289
01:59:53,061 --> 01:59:54,896
You got a bunch of guys
about to turn blue.

1290
01:59:54,979 --> 01:59:56,981
We're breathing again.
Thanks a lot.

1291
01:59:59,317 --> 02:00:00,985
Thank you.

1292
02:00:04,364 --> 02:00:06,324
Very smooth touchdown.

1293
02:01:54,933 --> 02:01:58,436
Okay, Neil, we can
see you coming down the ladder now.

1294
02:02:09,489 --> 02:02:11,783
Okay, I just checked.
Uh...

1295
02:02:12,242 --> 02:02:15,245
Coming back up to that
first step, Buzz, it's, uh...

1296
02:02:16,996 --> 02:02:21,376
The strut hasn't collapsed too far,
but it's adequate to get back up.

1297
02:02:22,293 --> 02:02:23,336
Roger, we copy.

1298
02:02:23,419 --> 02:02:24,671
Takes a pretty good little jump.

1299
02:02:42,605 --> 02:02:44,148
Buzz, this is Houston.

1300
02:02:44,232 --> 02:02:47,068
F2, 1/160 a second

1301
02:02:47,402 --> 02:02:50,613
for shadow photography
on the sequence camera.

1302
02:02:51,573 --> 02:02:53,116
Okay.

1303
02:02:56,911 --> 02:02:59,330
I'm, uh,
at the foot of the ladder.

1304
02:02:59,414 --> 02:03:05,211
The LEM footbeds are only,
uh, depressed in the surface

1305
02:03:05,295 --> 02:03:08,298
about one or two inches.

1306
02:03:08,381 --> 02:03:12,010
Although, the surface
appears to be, uh,

1307
02:03:12,969 --> 02:03:15,972
very, very fine grain
as you get close to it.

1308
02:03:16,055 --> 02:03:19,475
It's almost like a powder
down there.

1309
02:03:20,143 --> 02:03:21,728
Very fine.

1310
02:03:31,029 --> 02:03:33,281
I'm gonna step off the LEM now.

1311
02:03:43,958 --> 02:03:46,794
That's one small step for man,

1312
02:03:49,005 --> 02:03:52,175
one giant leap for mankind.

1313
02:05:22,473 --> 02:05:24,684
Okay, you ready
for me to come out?

1314
02:08:45,509 --> 02:08:50,264
Five, four, three, two, one.

1315
02:08:50,473 --> 02:08:51,557
Ignition.

1316
02:09:01,525 --> 02:09:05,029
...I suppose they
can never really describe to us.

1317
02:09:05,696 --> 02:09:06,948
Or will we ever know?
No...

1318
02:09:07,031 --> 02:09:08,282
And it may not be a beauty

1319
02:09:08,366 --> 02:09:11,077
that one can pass on
to future beholders either.

1320
02:09:11,160 --> 02:09:13,955
These first men on the Moon
have seen something

1321
02:09:14,038 --> 02:09:17,124
that men who follow
will have missed.

1322
02:09:17,625 --> 02:09:21,921
They've peered into
another life that we can't follow.

1323
02:09:22,088 --> 02:09:25,633
Bob Simon at Trafalgar Square,
where he joined the thousands

1324
02:09:25,800 --> 02:09:28,094
who watched an immense
television screen

1325
02:09:28,261 --> 02:09:30,304
as the Apollo touched down
on the Moon.

1326
02:09:30,388 --> 02:09:33,432
The average Romanian
thinks of Apollo 11 a little bit

1327
02:09:33,516 --> 02:09:35,309
as his own personal adventure.

1328
02:09:35,393 --> 02:09:38,938
It's been estimated that the audience
was up in the hundreds of millions.

1329
02:09:39,021 --> 02:09:42,775
Perhaps 400 million persons or
so watching this broadcast...

1330
02:09:42,858 --> 02:09:45,152
Countless millions
more listened on the radio

1331
02:09:45,236 --> 02:09:46,696
to the voices from the Moon.

1332
02:09:46,779 --> 02:09:50,032
Never before had so many people
been attuned to one event

1333
02:09:50,283 --> 02:09:51,826
at one time.

1334
02:09:56,580 --> 02:09:57,665
...feats of all time.

1335
02:09:57,748 --> 02:09:59,125
Does it amaze you
that it's taken place?

1336
02:09:59,208 --> 02:10:03,087
It not only amazes me, but I'm certain
that it amazes everybody in this country.

1337
02:10:03,170 --> 02:10:04,755
What do you think of it?

1338
02:10:04,839 --> 02:10:06,465
The Moon, I hope that sometime

1339
02:10:06,549 --> 02:10:08,009
everybody will go there.

1340
02:10:08,175 --> 02:10:10,636
Wanna go yourself?
Oh, yeah, I wish I can go right now.

1341
02:10:10,803 --> 02:10:15,099
I think this is a very important day.
It's a historical day.

1342
02:10:15,182 --> 02:10:19,228
And the whole universe is concerned
about this, the landing on the Moon.

1343
02:10:19,312 --> 02:10:21,230
And as a French woman,
how do you think about it?

1344
02:10:21,314 --> 02:10:23,399
Oh, I think it's wonderful,
I always trusted America

1345
02:10:23,482 --> 02:10:25,026
and I knew they couldn't fail.

1346
02:10:25,776 --> 02:10:27,945
NAnd in Washington,
an anonymous citizen

1347
02:10:28,029 --> 02:10:31,866
placed a small bouquet on the grave
of John F. Kennedy with a note.

1348
02:10:32,116 --> 02:10:34,744
"Mr. President,
the Eagle has landed."

1349
02:10:35,119 --> 02:10:38,998
And indeed on this day, as we
mark the astronauts' return,

1350
02:10:39,081 --> 02:10:41,292
it's hard not to think back
upon that speech

1351
02:10:41,375 --> 02:10:45,338
our 35th president gave
just seven short years ago.

1352
02:10:45,629 --> 02:10:49,008
If this capsule history
of our progress teaches us anything,

1353
02:10:49,383 --> 02:10:52,178
it is that man,
in his quest for knowledge

1354
02:10:52,303 --> 02:10:55,723
and progress is determined
and cannot be deterred.

1355
02:10:56,223 --> 02:10:58,184
But why, some say, the Moon?

1356
02:10:59,101 --> 02:11:01,437
Why choose this as our goal?

1357
02:11:01,896 --> 02:11:05,733
And they may well ask,
why climb the highest mountain?

1358
02:11:06,192 --> 02:11:09,362
Why, 35 years ago,
fly the Atlantic?

1359
02:11:10,029 --> 02:11:11,989
Why does Rice play Texas?

1360
02:11:12,406 --> 02:11:14,700
We choose to go to the Moon.

1361
02:11:15,117 --> 02:11:17,244
We choose to go to the Moon.

1362
02:11:19,080 --> 02:11:23,501
We choose to go to the Moon in this
decade and do the other things,

1363
02:11:23,584 --> 02:11:27,421
not because they are easy,
but because they are hard.

1364
02:11:29,006 --> 02:11:31,050
Mrs. Armstrong!
Mrs. Armstrong!

1365
02:11:31,467 --> 02:11:33,010
How do you feel?

1366
02:11:38,516 --> 02:11:39,934
Have you spoken with your husband?

1367
02:11:40,226 --> 02:11:42,186
Would your sons like to
be astronauts like him?

1368
02:11:42,269 --> 02:11:43,687
Mrs. Armstrong!

1369
02:11:43,771 --> 02:11:45,648
Have all your prayers
been answered?

1370
02:11:46,148 --> 02:11:47,400
Yes, yes, they have.

1371
02:11:47,483 --> 02:11:49,485
How would you
describe the flight?

1372
02:11:50,027 --> 02:11:54,615
Well, uh, I can only say
it was outta this world.

1373
02:11:55,950 --> 02:11:57,076
Thank you.

1374
02:11:58,494 --> 02:12:00,413
They will be quarantined
the full three weeks,

1375
02:12:00,496 --> 02:12:02,665
but there is no sign
of infection or disease.

1376
02:12:06,293 --> 02:12:08,045
Congratulations, Jan.
