JOHN F. KENNEDY: WE CHOOSE
TO GO TO THE MOON.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON

IN THIS DECADE
AND DO THE OTHER THINGS

NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY
BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE HARD.

MAN: LIFTOFF.
WE HAVE A LIFTOFF.

LIFTOFF ON APOLLO 11.

DIFFERENT MAN: WHAT A MOMENT.

MAN ON THE WAY TO THE MOON.

[MAN SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE]

[DIFFERENT MAN SPEAKING
DIFFERENT NATIVE LANGUAGE]

NEIL ARMSTRONG: THAT'S
ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN,

ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND.

[TAPE REWINDING]

[TAPE REWINDING]

JESUS CHRIST, LOOK AT
THAT HORIZON.

MAN: YOU'RE GO TO CONTINUE
POWERED DESCENT.

YOU ARE GO TO CONTINUE
POWERED DESCENT. [BEEP]

[BEEPING]

PROGRAM ALARM.

MAN: GIVE US A READING
ON THE 1202 PROGRAM ALARM.

ARMSTRONG: HOUSTON...

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED.

MAN: JUST FOR ME
CLEAN ON TAPE, SAY,

"I'M NEIL ARMSTRONG,
SPACECRAFT COMMANDER,
APOLLO 11."

ARMSTRONG: I'M NEIL ARMSTRONG,
COMMANDER, APOLLO 11.

MAN: WOULD YOU PREFER
"BUZZ" OR "EDWIN"?

ALDRIN: I'M
EDWIN E. ALDRIN, JR.,

LUNAR MODULE PILOT,
ON THE MISSION APOLLO 11.

MAN: JUST LOOK
RIGHT AT ME AND SAY,

"I'M MICHAEL COLLINS,
COMMAND MODULE PILOT."

COLLINS: I'M MICHAEL COLLINS,
COMMAND MODULE PILOT, APOLLO 11.

MAN: THE ACCOMPLISHMENT
THAT YOU EXPECT TO ACHIEVE

IS OFTEN COMPARED
TO THAT OF COLUMBUS.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
SUCH COMPARISONS?

COLUMBUS WASN'T SURE
WHERE HE WAS GOING.

I VERY MUCH HOPE THAT WE WON'T
TERMINATE AT SOME PLACE

THAT WE DIDN'T EXPECT TO,
SOME PLANET THAT WE

HADN'T PLANNED TO VISIT.

THE CREW OF APOLLO 11 IS UNIQUE.

MAN: THANKS VERY MUCH,
BUZZ ALDRIN.

I WASN'T FINISHED.

OH. OH, OK, OK,
LET'S BACK UP.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

ADDITIONALLY, THEY ARE UNUSUAL.

MAN: YOU WANT
TO START OVER?

NO, I DON'T WANT
TO START OVER.
DO YOU?

[LAUGHTER]

AND THEY ALSO HAVE ANOTHER
MINOR DISTINCTION.

THEY, PERHAPS, HAVE BEEN
ASKED MORE QUESTIONS

THAN ALMOST ANYBODY
IN THE WORLD.

WHY ARE YOU GOING?
WHY ARE WE SENDING

MEN AND NOT MACHINES?

DO YOU EXPECT TO BE
ABLE TO SLEEP?

MAN: DO YOU FEEL
THAT THE PUBLIC

IS PUTTING TOO MUCH HOPE
ON THIS LANDING?

DIFFERENT MAN: AND IT'S
NOT AN EASY CHORE

FOR THEM TO PERFORM.

THEY'RE NOT NATURALLY
TALKATIVE MEN.

DIFFERENT MAN: I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT YOU, BUT I'M

STAGGERED ABOUT GOING
TO THE MOON.

AREN'T YOU FELLAS?

DIFFERENT MAN: DO YOU THINK NASA
MADE A MISTAKE

NOT PLANNING FOR
CAPABILITY OF RISK...

DIFFERENT MAN: YOUR MISSION
HAS BEEN GIVEN

AN 80% CHANCE OF SUCCESS.

DIFFERENT MAN: WHAT 4
EVENTS IN THE FLIGHT,

IN ORDER, IF YOU CAN, DO YOU
CONSIDER THE MOST DANGEROUS?

DIFFERENT MAN: ...WE OUGHT
TO USE "IF" A LITTLE MORE

INSTEAD OF SAYING "WHEN"
YOU LAND ON THE MOON?

DIFFERENT MAN: THERE'S BEEN
SPECULATION ABOUT WHAT THE FIRST

MAN ON THE MOON WILL SAY
WHEN HE GETS THERE.

WILL YOU PREPARE SOMETHING
AHEAD OF TIME?

HERE FROM CBS NEWS,
CORRESPONDENT WALTER CRONKITE.

GOOD MORNING.

THE ASTRONAUTS ARE ON BOARD NOW.

NEXT STOP FOR THEM: THE MOON.

THE 3 ASTRONAUTS ARE NOW
IN THEIR TINY SPACECRAFT

ON TOP OF THIS ENORMOUS ROCKET.

THEY HAVE ABOUT 160
CUBIC FEET IN THERE,

WHICH IS ABOUT THE SIZE
OF THE INTERIOR

OF A SMALL AUTOMOBILE.

THERE IS TIME, IF ONLY BRIEFLY
IN THIS BUSY MORNING,

TO THINK OF THOSE 3 MEN

AND THE BURDENS AND THE HOPES
THAT THEY CARRY

ON BEHALF OF ALL MANKIND.

MAN: WE ARE GO FOR APOLLO 11.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

MAN: OUR STATUS BOARD INDICATES
THE THIRD STAGE

COMPLETELY PRESSURIZED.

LIFTOFF ON APOLLO 11.

TOWER CLEARED.

CRONKITE: WHAT A MOMENT.

MAN ON THE WAY TO THE MOON.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

MAN: YOU GET A FEELING
THAT PEOPLE THINK OF THESE MEN

AS NOT JUST SUPERIOR MEN
BUT AS DIFFERENT CREATURES.

WE REALLY DON'T HAVE A LANGUAGE
TO DESCRIBE THIS THING.

WHAT ARE THE WORDS YOU USE?

HOW DO YOU SAY,
"HIGH AS THE SKY" ANYMORE?

OR "THE SKY'S THE LIMIT"?
I MEAN, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

MAN: FIDO FLIGHT,
HOW ARE YOU?

DIFFERENT MAN:
LOOKING GOOD, FLIGHT.

DIFFERENT MAN: GNC.

DIFFERENT MAN: LOOKS GOOD,
FLIGHT. EECOMM?

YOU ARE CONFIRMED GO FOR ORBIT.

CRONKITE: SO, THIS FIRST ALWAYS
DRAMATIC AND DANGEROUS

LAUNCH PHASE HAS PASSED,

AND APOLLO 11 IS ON THE WAY.

THIS IS THE FLIGHT
FROM WHICH MAN WILL

FIRST SET FOOT
ON THE MOON.

WE ALMOST GLIBLY
TOSS THAT LINE

MAN ON THE MOON.

BUT BY GOLLY,
JUST THINK IT OVER.

CBS NEWS

THE LAUNCH DAY
OF APOLLO 11,

WILL CONTINUE
IN A MOMENT.

[CAMERA'S SHUTTER CLICKING]

MAN: WHEN THE SPACECRAFT
HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY

CHECKED OUT BY THE CREW,

THE THIRD STAGE FIRES AGAIN,

ITS SPEED NOW TEARING IT FREE

FROM THE GRIP OF
EARTH'S GRAVITY.

MAN: THIS IS APOLLO CONTROL.

WE EXPECT THE TRANSLUNAR
INJECTION BURN

AT TWO HOURS, 44 MINUTES.

[BEEP]
DIFFERENT MAN: WE CONFIRM
IGNITION AND THE THRUST IS GO.

[BEEP]

CRONKITE: WE'RE WAITING FOR WORD
OF THE SEPARATION

FROM THE
COMMAND MODULE

GOING OFF
ON ITS OWN.

MAN: WHILE COASTING OUTWARD,
THE COMMAND
SERVICE MODULE SEPARATES

AND DOCKS FOR ACCESS
TO THE LUNAR MODULE,

AND THE EMPTY THIRD STAGE
IS LEFT BEHIND.

[BEEP]
MAN: APOLLO 11, THIS IS HOUSTON.

YOU'RE GO FOR SEPARATION.

CRONKITE: THIS NEXT
MAJOR FUNCTION NOW IS

THE COMMAND MODULE POSTING OUT
50 FEET AWAY.

CRONKITE: THE COMMAND MODULE
WILL TURN AROUND 180 DEGREES.

THE COMMAND MODULE
WILL TOUCH AROUND

AND COME BACK AND WITH
THE NOSE IN,

COME IN AND DOCK
WITH THE LUNAR MODULE.

MAN: BUT IT'S A VERY, VERY
DELICATE, CONTROLLED TASK.

[CLANKING]

[BEEP]

CRONKITE: WITH THE LUNAR MODULE
ATTACHED TO THEIR NOSE,

THEY'LL BE ON THE WAY ON THEIR
3-DAY VOYAGE TO THE MOON

AND INTO THE PAGES OF HISTORY.

[BEEP]AND APOLLO 11, HOUSTON,
YOU'RE--ALL YOUR SYSTEMS

LOOK REAL GOOD TO US.

WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.[BEEP]

CRONKITE: WE HAVE SEEN
SOMETHING SPECTACULAR TODAY.

SOMETHING WE'LL BE TELLING
OUR GRANDCHILDREN ABOUT.

SOMETHING OUR
GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN

WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE
UNDERTAKING THEMSELVES

ON AN EXCURSION BASIS.

THIS IS
WALTER CRONKITE,

CBS NEWS,
AT THE KENNEDY

SPACE CENTER
IN FLORIDA.

MAN: APOLLO 11, THIS IS HOUSTON.

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED
IN THE MORNING NEWS,

I'VE GOT A SUMMARY HERE,
OF COURSE.

MAN: WASHINGTON. UPI.
VICE PRESIDENT SPIRO T. AGNEW

HAS CALLED FOR PUTTING
A MAN ON MARS

BY THE YEAR 2000,

BUT DEMOCRATIC LEADERS REPLIED
THAT PRIORITY MUST GO TO

NEEDS ON EARTH.

LAREDO, TEXAS.
IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS
IN NUEVO LAREDO

ANNOUNCED THAT HIPPIES WILL BE
REFUSED TOURIST CARDS

TO ENTER MEXICO UNLESS THEY
TAKE A BATH AND GET HAIRCUTS.

LONDON. THE HOUSE OF LORDS
WAS ASSURED

THAT A MIDGET AMERICAN SUBMARINE
WOULD NOT, QUOTE,

DAMAGE OR ASSAULT, UNQUOTE,
THE LOCH NESS MONSTER.

MAN: APOLLO 11'S DISTANCE
FROM THE EARTH

IS NOW 112,386 NAUTICAL MILES.

VELOCITY 4,906 FEET PER SECOND.

[BEEP]

[BEEP]

YOU GOT A LITTLE
BIT OF--[BEEP]

[BEEP]

[BEEP]

[BEEP]

[BEEP]

MAN: ROGER, WE COPY.
[BEEP]

MAN: ROGER, APOLLO 11.
THANK YOU MUCH FOR THE SHOW.

APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OUT.

[BEEP]

[BEEP]

MAN: APOLLO 11, HOUSTON, OVER.
[BEEP]

GO AHEAD, HOUSTON.
[BEEP]

MAN: ROGER. I'VE GOT THE MORNING
NEWS HERE. OVER. [BEEP]

IN CORBY, ENGLAND, AN IRISHMAN,
JOHN COYLE,

HAS WON THE WORLD'S
PORRIDGE EATING CHAMPIONSHIP

BY CONSUMING 23 BOWLS
OF INSTANT OATMEAL. [BEEP]

[BEEP]
MAN: IS HE PRETTY GOOD AT THAT?
[BEEP]

[BEEP]

[BEEP]
MAN: ROGER.

MALE REPORTER: IT ALMOST SEEMS
THAT NEIL ARMSTRONG'S LIFE

WAS INTENDED TO
WORK OUT THIS WAY.

DIFFERENT MALE REPORTER: BEFORE
THE MOON, THERE WAS FLYING.

ARMSTRONG WAS, NEEDLESS TO SAY,
A HOT PILOT IN THE NAVY.

HE SURVIVED THE ONLY
FORCED LANDING

IN THE HISTORY OF
THE SPACE PROGRAM,

AND WHEN A LUNAR TRAINING
VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL,

FORCING HIM TO BAIL OUT FOR
THE SECOND TIME IN HIS LIFE,

A FRIEND CONCLUDED
HE WAS EITHER THE BEST...

OR THE LUCKIEST PILOT AROUND.

ANYONE ELSE PAYING ATTENTION
WOULD HAVE CONCLUDED

NOTHING COULD STOP HIM
FROM FLYING TO THE MOON.

EVEN MORE SERIOUS THAN ARMSTRONG
IS BUZZ ALDRIN.

HE IS, BY GENERAL AGREEMENT,

THE MOST BRILLIANT
OF THE ASTRONAUTS,

THOUGH SOME OF HIS COLLEAGUES
HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO COMMENT

THEY WISHED HE DIDN'T
FEEL IT NECESSARY

TO DEMONSTRATE
HIS SCHOLARSHIP SO OFTEN.

TYPICALLY, ALDRIN TRAINED
FOR WEEKS UNDERWATER

FOR HIS GEMINI 12 SPACEWALK,

DETERMINED THAT IT WOULD BE
THE BEST EVER ATTEMPTED.

IT WAS.
BUT ALDRIN CAN BE

AS COOL IN APPRAISING HIMSELF

AS HE IS IN HIS
RELATIONS WITH OTHERS.

MIKE COLLINS HAS DONE EVERYTHING

NEIL ARMSTRONG AND BUZZ ALDRIN
HAVE DONE,

BUT SOMEHOW, IT'S NOT THE SAME.

THE SON OF A GENERAL,
THE NEPHEW OF ANOTHER,

HE GRADUATED FROM WEST POINT

BUT DID NOT LIKE
THE MILITARY DISCIPLINE.

HE BAILED OUT OF A JET
THAT WAS ON FIRE

BUT CAN'T REMEMBER
ANYTHING SPECTACULAR.

COLLINS SAYS HE LOVES FLYING,
BUT YOU GET THE FEELING

HE COULD QUIT TOMORROW.

IN HIS ONLY OTHER FLIGHT,
GEMINI 10,

A COMBINATION OF CIRCUMSTANCES
FORCED HIM TO CUT SHORT

HIS SPACEWALK.

WHILE THE OTHERS TALK FLYING,

HE PREFERS TO DISCUSS
BOOKS, WINE, OR ROSES.

A MAN WHO HAS KNOWN
ALL 3 ASTRONAUTS

SAYS IF HE WERE FORCED DOWN
ON A REMOTE ISLAND,

HE WOULD WANT IT TO BE
WITH MIKE COLLINS

FOR THE QUALITY
OF HIS PERSONALITY.

ANOTHER SAID HE WOULD PREFER
BUZZ ALDRIN

BECAUSE WITH HIS INTELLIGENCE,

HE WOULD SOON BE CONVERTING
SEA WATER TO FRESHWATER,

OTHERWISE LOGICALLY
ATTACKING THE PROBLEM.

BUT BOTH AGREE THAT THEY
WOULD HOPE IT WOULD BE

WITH NEIL ARMSTRONG,

BECAUSE SOMEHOW,
HE WOULD GET THEM HOME.

MAN: THIS IS APOLLO CONTROL.

DR. HAWKINS REPORTS

ALL INDICATIONS ARE THAT
THE CREW IS SLEEPING SOUNDLY.

THE FLIGHT DIRECTOR
HAS MADE A DECISION TO

NOT PUT IN A CALL TO THE CREW

AND WAKE THEM.

[BEEP]

MAN: ROGER, 11.
READING YOU LOUD AND CLEAR NOW.

OVER. [BEEP]

[BEEP]
MAN: ROGER. [BEEP]

[BEEP] MAN: I GUESS IT'S
TURNED INTO NIGHT UP THERE,

REALLY, HASN'T IT? [BEEP]

[BEEP] MAN: WELL, THERE ARE
A LOT OF US DOWN HERE THAT

WOULD BE WILLING TO COME ALONG.
[BEEP]

MAN: THIS IS APOLLO CONTROL AT
75 HOURS, 26 MINUTES.

APOLLO 11 IS 966 MILES
FROM THE MOON.

VELOCITY 6,511 FEET PER SECOND.

WE'RE 23 MINUTES AWAY
FROM THE LOI BURN.

ALDRIN: OK, CAP COMM,
WE'RE GO FOR LOI.

MAN: I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU
TO ENABLE

THE BD ROLL ON THE AUTO RCS
SWITCHES. OVER. [BEEP]

MAN: THAT'S AFFIRMATIVE, 11.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

MAN: IT'S VERY QUIET HERE
IN THE CONTROL ROOM.

[BEEP]
MAN: APOLLO 11, APOLLO 11.

THIS IS HOUSTON.
HOW DO YOU READ? [BEEP]

[BEEP] MAN: ROGER.
READING YOU THE SAME, NOW.

COULD YOU REPEAT YOUR
BURN STATUS REPORT?

MAN: THE SPACECRAFT IS LOOKING
GOOD TO US ON TELEMETRY. [BEEP]

MAN: IT IS POSSIBLE
THAT THE DIVINE SPARK IN MAN

WILL CONSUME HIM IN FLAMES;

THAT THE BIG BRAIN WILL
PROVE OUR ULTIMATE FLAW,

LIKE THE DINOSAUR'S BIG BODY;

THAT THE METAL PLAQUE
ARMSTRONG AND ALDRIN

EXPECT TO PLACE ON THE MOON

WILL BECOME MAN'S EPITAPH.

BUT THE FUTURE HAS
NEVER REVEALED ITSELF.

IT IS MADE, STEP BY STEP,
MOMENT BY MOMENT.

THE NEXT GREAT MOMENT
IS NOW AT HAND.

THE WORLD WAITS
AND THE ASTRONAUTS SLEEP.

[BEEP]
MAN: APOLLO 11, APOLLO 11.

GOOD MORNING FROM
THE BLACK TEAM.

[BEEP] APOLLO 11, APOLLO 11.

GOOD MORNING FROM
THE BLACK TEAM.

[BEEP] APOLLO 11, APOLLO 11.

GOOD MORNING FROM
THE BLACK TEAM. [BEEP]

CRONKITE: AFTER
HAVING BREAKFAST,

THE CREW WILL HAVE A RATHER
BUSY DAY TODAY,

INCLUDING THE FIRST
MANNED LANDING ON THE MOON.

[BEEP] MAN: IT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S GONNA BE IMPOSSIBLE

TO GET AWAY FROM THE FACT THAT

YOU GUYS ARE DOMINATING
ALL THE NEWS

BACK HERE ON EARTH. [BEEP]

AMONG THE LARGE HEADLINES
CONCERNING APOLLO THIS MORNING

IS ONE ASKING THAT YOU WATCH
FOR A LOVELY GIRL

WITH A BIG RABBIT.

AN ANCIENT LEGEND SAYS
A BEAUTIFUL CHINESE GIRL

CALLED CHANG-O HAS BEEN
LIVING THERE

FOR 4,000 YEARS.

IT SEEMS SHE WAS
BANISHED TO THE MOON

BECAUSE SHE STOLE THE PILL
OF IMMORTALITY

FROM HER HUSBAND.
[BEEP BEEP]

YOU MIGHT ALSO LOOK
FOR HER COMPANION,

A LARGE CHINESE RABBIT,

WHO IS EASY TO SPOT BECAUSE
HE IS ALWAYS STANDING

ON HIS HIND FEET IN THE SHADE
OF A CINNAMON TREE.

[BEEP]

[BEEP]
MAN: ROGER. WE COPY. [BEEP]

DIFFERENT MAN: YOU HEARD THAT
REPORT FROM NEIL ARMSTRONG.

THEY'RE NOW IN THE LUNAR MODULE.

[CLANK]

MAN: FLIGHT DIRECTOR GENE KRANZ
IS GOING AROUND

THE CONTROL CENTER NOW TALKING
TO HIS FLIGHT CONTROLLERS,

REVIEWING STATUS
AND--IN PREPARATION

FOR MAKING THE GO/NO-GO DECISION

FOR UNDOCKING.

[BEEP] MAN: APOLLO 11, HOUSTON,
WE ARE GO FOR UNDOCKING. OVER.
[BEEP]

[BEEP]
MAN: HOUSTON. YOU'RE LOOKING
GOOD FOR SEPARATION.

YOU ARE GO FOR SEPARATION,
COLUMBIA. OVER. [BEEP]

[BEEP]

[BEEP]

[BEEP BEEP]

[BEEP] MAN: ROGER.
PITCH 212,

YAW PLUS 37.
[BEEP]

CRONKITE: IN ABOUT
25 SECONDS FROM NOW,

THE IMPORTANT BURN OF THE
DESCENT PROPULSION SYSTEM ENGINE

OF THE LUNAR MODULE
WILL BEGIN SLOWING IT DOWN

FOR THE LANDING ON THE MOON.

10% TCP.

MAN: ROGER. 10%.

MAN: WE ADVISE YOU TO BE
ON THE [INDISTINCT].

DIFFERENT MAN:
THIS IS APOLLO CONTROL.

WE'VE HAD LOSS OF SIGNAL NOW.

[BEEP]

[BEEP]

[BEEPING]

[BEEPING]

[BEEPING]

[BEEPING]

[BEEP]

[BEEP]

[BEEP]

[BEEP]

[BEEP]

[BEEP]

MAN: THAT'S AFFIRMATIVE.

[ALARM BLARING]

[BLARING]

ALDRIN: 1202.

[ALARM BLARING]
[BEEPING]

[BEEPING]

[BLARING]

[BLARING]

[DIFFERENT ALARM BLARES,
ALL ALARMS STOP]

[BEEP]

CRONKITE: THIS LANDING IS NOT
JUST AS SIMPLE AS IT SOUNDS.

THEY'VE GOT TO COME IN OVER SOME
RATHER HIGH FEATURES

BEFORE THEY MAKE THAT SET-DOWN
ON A FAIRLY

FLAT POINT ON THE MOON.

MAN: THE MOST
DIFFICULT PART OF

THE MISSION IS
THE LANDING.

YOU HAVE
THE MANEUVERABILITY
OF A HELICOPTER,

SO, YOU CAN
DESCEND VERTICALLY,

LOOK AT THE AREA,
AND FINALLY

PICK OUT
THAT ONE SPOT
THAT IS ACCEPTABLE.

THE HARD PART,
OF COURSE, IS TO

GET THAT CLOSE,
THEN HAVE TO COMMIT

TO LEAVING AFTER
ALL OF THIS WORK.

I THINK THAT
PRESSURE IS PROBABLY

THE GREATEST AMOUNT
OF PRESSURE ANY CREW

WILL EVER HAVE.

MAN: WE'RE NOW
IN THE APPROACH PHASE.

EVERYTHING LOOKING GOOD.

MAN: ROGER, COPY.

CRONKITE: DOWN TO JUST
14 MILES TO GO

AND 4 1/2 MINUTES LEFT
IN THIS ERA.

[ALARM BLARING]

MAN: 1201 ALARM.
MAN: SAME TYPE.
WE'RE GO, FLIGHT.

MAN: OK. WE'RE GO.

MAN: ROGER. WE COPY IT.

ARMSTRONG: 35 DEGREES.
35 DEGREES.

750, COMING DOWN TO 23.

600, DOWN AT 19.

[BEEPING CONTINUES]

[BEEPING]

MAN: ROGER, TRAN--TRANQUILITY.
WE COPY YOU ON THE GROUND.

YOU GOT A BUNCH OF GUYS
ABOUT TO TURN BLUE.

WE'RE BREATHING AGAIN.
THANKS A LOT.

CRONKITE: OH, BOY!
MAN ON THE MOON.

HMM.

WHEW! BOY!

CRONKITE: WALLY, SAY
SOMETHING. I'M SPEECHLESS.

SCHIRRA: I'M JUST TRYING
TO HOLD ONTO MY BREATH.

THAT IS
REALLY SOMETHING.

MAN: ROGER, TRANQUILITY.

BE ADVISED, THERE ARE LOTS
OF SMILING FACES IN THIS ROOM

AND ALL OVER
THE WORLD. OVER.

MAN: ROGER. IT WAS
A BEAUTIFUL JOB, YOU GUYS.

MAN: ROGER. WE READ YOU,
COLUMBIA.

HE HAS LANDED.
TRANQUILITY BASE.

EAGLE IS AT TRANQUILITY. OVER.

MAN: GOOD SHOW.

CRONKITE: WELL, THIS DAY
HAS GIVEN US, ERIC SEVAREID,

I GUESS OUR
BIGGEST STORY.

NOTHING COMPARES
WITH THIS,
I DON'T THINK.

I THINK, WALTER,
SOMETIMES THAT IT'S
EASIER TO BE

AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT
IN WORLD-SHAKING
THINGS LIKE THIS

THAN AN OBSERVER
WHO CAN ONLY SIT.

AT LEAST IT'S EASIER
ON THE NERVE ENDS.

THE...

THE THING THAT GOT US
ALL DOWNSTAIRS

IN ANOTHER OFFICE
WATCHING THIS

IN THOSE LAST FEW
MINUTES AND SECONDS

WAS THE STEADINESS
OF THOSE VOICES
OF THOSE TWO MEN.

AND AS AN OLD-FASHIONED
HUMANIST,

IT SEEMED TO ME
A LITTLE REASSURING

THAT IN THOSE
LAST SECONDS,

THE HUMAN HAND AND EYE
HAD TO TAKE OVER
FROM THE COMPUTERS,

IF I UNDERSTOOD EXACTLY
WHAT WAS GOING ON

IN THAT--
IN THAT LUNAR MODULE.

SITTING HERE, I REALLY
WAS CAUGHT SPEECHLESS.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S
HAPPENED IN MY LIFE.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,
ARMSTRONG'S WORDS WERE AS
ELOQUENT AS YOU COULD ASK.

"EAGLE HAS LANDED."

"EAGLE HAS LANDED."

WHAT MORE COULD YOU SAY?NO MORE.

MAN: WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF MAN'S LANDING ON THE MOON?

MAN: IT WAS JUST PROFOUND.
MAN HAS STEPPED OFF
THIS PLANET,

AND I'M PROUD TO BE
AN AMERICAN
AND AN EARTHLING!

MAN: WHAT WAS THE REACTION
WHERE YOU WERE?

MAN: WHAT DOES IT
MEAN TO YOU?

MAN: THIS IS ONE MOMENT
I WANT TO SHARE WITH
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

MAN: YUGOSLAVIA, IN FACT,
HAS ADOPTED THE 3 AMERICAN
ASTRONAUTS AS ITS OWN HEROES.

WHAT'S YOUR REACTION?MAN: WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

HOW ABOUT YOU, SIR?MAN: I AM VERY PROUD TO BE

MEMBER OF GENERATION
OF THIS HISTORICAL MOMENT.

MAN: I THINK THIS IS A
GREAT DAY FOR AMERICA.

WOMAN: I THINK MAYBE MARS
MIGHT BE NEXT. WHO KNOWS?

CRONKITE: BUZZ ALDRIN AND
HIS CO-PILOT NEIL ARMSTRONG,

THEY'VE BEEN ON THE MOON
FOR OVER 2 HOURS NOW,

AND BUZZ ALDRIN DID TAKE
SOMETHING WITH HIM TODAY.

MOST UNUSUAL. HE TOOK A PART
OF THE COMMUNAL BREAD LOAF

FROM HIS CHURCH
ALONG WITH HIM

SO THAT AT HIS EVENING
MEAL TONIGHT, SUNDAY,

HE WILL, IN A SENSE,
SHARE COMMUNION

WITH THE PEOPLE OF HIS CHURCH.

MAN: TRANQUILITY, HOUSTON.
GO AHEAD.

MAN: ROGER, TRANQUILITY BASE.

CRONKITE: AND THE LEAST WE CAN
DO IS TO ACCEDE TO THE REQUEST

FROM THE HERO
CONQUERORS OF SPACE,

ARMSTRONG AND ALDRIN,
TO PAUSE FOR A MOMENT

AND CONTEMPLATE
THE LAST FEW HOURS

AND GIVE THANKS
IN OUR OWN WAY.

CBS NEWS COLOR COVERAGE
OF THE EPIC JOURNEY OF APOLLO 11

WILL CONTINUE IN A MOMENT.

CRONKITE: WE'LL GET WORD FROM
THE SPACECRAFT THAT THEY INTEND

TO DEPRESSURIZE THE CABIN
AND OPEN THE HATCH

IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES FROM NOW.

CRONKITE: WE'RE APPROACHING
ONE OF THE CRITICAL MOMENTS,

AND NEIL ARMSTRONG'S FATHER
DID SAY THAT HE HOPED THAT

HIS SON WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO
SAY ON THE SURFACE OF THE MOON.

HE SAID, "I HOPE HE'LL
SAY SOMETHING THAT
UNITES THE WORLD."

NEIL ARMSTRONG'S MOTHER
SAID THAT, "HOWEVER, MAYBE
HE'LL BE SO THRILLED,

HE WON'T HAVE ANY WORDS AT ALL."

MAN: ALL RIGHT, MOVE HERE.

[STATIC;
AUDIO CUTS OUT]

MAN: BUZZ, THIS IS HOUSTON.
RADIO CHECK

AND VERIFY TV
CIRCUIT BREAKER IN.

MAN: AND WE'RE GETTING
A PICTURE ON THE TV!

SCHIRRA: THERE'S THAT
FOOT GOING DOWN.

CRONKITE: THERE HE IS.
THERE'S A FOOT COMING
DOWN THE STEPS.

MAN: OK, NEIL, WE CAN SEE YOU
COMING DOWN THE LADDER NOW.

ARMSTRONG: THAT'S ONE
SMALL STEP FOR MAN...

ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND.

CRONKITE: ARMSTRONG
IS ON THE MOON.

38-YEAR-OLD AMERICAN STANDING
ON THE SURFACE OF THE MOON.

WOW!

MAN: NEIL, THIS IS HOUSTON.
WE'RE COPYING.

CRONKITE: BOY,
LOOK AT THOSE PICTURES.

SCHIRRA: OH, THANK YOU,
TELEVISION FOR LETTING
US WATCH THIS ONE.

ISN'T THIS SOMETHING?

MAN: ROGER, NEIL. WE'RE
READING YOU LOUD AND CLEAR.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]

ALDRIN: I'M GOING TO LEAVE
THAT ONE FOOT UP THERE AND...

ARMSTRONG: ...HAS ABOUT ONE FOOT
CLEARANCE ON THE GROUND.

WE'RE ESSENTIALLY ON
A VERY LEVEL PLACE HERE.

I CAN SEE SOME EVIDENCE OF RAYS
EMANATING FROM THE...

READY FOR THE CAMERA?

ALDRIN: WHY DON'T YOU TURN
AROUND AND LET THEM GET
A VIEW FROM THERE--

ARMSTRONG: OK.

ALDRIN: SEE WHAT THE
FIELD OF VIEW LOOKS LIKE?

MAN: NEIL, THIS IS HOUSTON.

WE'D LIKE YOU TO AIM IT A LITTLE
BIT MORE TO THE RIGHT. OVER.

ARMSTRONG: OK.

MAN: OK, THAT LOOKS GOOD, NEIL.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]

CRONKITE: NOW, THEY'RE
COLLECTING NOW THE SAMPLES.

THEY'VE GOT ABOUT
ANOTHER HOUR AND 5 MINUTES

OF EXTRAVEHICULAR ACTIVITY
BEFORE THE HATCH IS CLOSED.

I THINK ALL OF US ON EARTH WOULD
PROBABLY FEEL THE SAME WAY,

THAT THERE WILL NEVER BE
A DAY LIKE THIS AGAIN
IN ANY OF OUR HISTORIES.

[STATIC]

MAN: COLUMBIA,
THIS IS HOUSTON. OVER.

MAN: NEIL AND BUZZ, THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

WOULD LIKE TO SAY A FEW
WORDS TO YOU. OVER.

MAN: ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD,
MR. PRESIDENT.

NIXON: HELLO, NEIL AND BUZZ.
I'M TALKING TO YOU BY TELEPHONE

FROM THE OVAL ROOM
AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

AND THIS CERTAINLY HAS
TO BE THE MOST HISTORIC
TELEPHONE CALL EVER MADE.

AND AS YOU TALK TO US
FROM THE SEA OF TRANQUILITY,

IT INSPIRES US TO
REDOUBLE OUR EFFORTS

TO BRING PEACE AND
TRANQUILITY TO EARTH.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

NIXON: AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH,

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU
ON THE "HORNET" ON THURSDAY.

ARMSTRONG: ROGER.

MAN: IN THE FOREGROUND,
BUZZ ALDRIN IS COLLECTING
A CORE TUBE SAMPLE.

[BOTH BREATHING HARD]

MAN: TRANQUILITY BASE,
THIS IS HOUSTON. OVER.

YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE
TO CHECK THE BREAKERS.

MAN: JUST ONE QUICKIE.

MIKE...

AND THIS IS A SERIOUS...
[INDISTINCT]

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU
HAD TO COME HOME ALONE?

TERRIBLE. REALLY.

THEY'RE KEEPING TUNE NOW
TO MISSION CONTROL IN HOUSTON,

AS THEY GO THROUGH CHECKING OUT
THE SPACECRAFT SYSTEMS

BEFORE MEN LEAVE THE MOON
FOR THE FIRST TIME.

[CLICK]

MAN: ROGER THAT.

OK. ON SURFACE 57 THERE
ON YOUR VERB 21 NOUN 73...

TRUNNION, LEAVE IT AT 180;

THE SHAFT WE'D LIKE 335...

[CLICK]

MAN: ROGER.

MAN: 700, 150 UP, BEAUTIFUL.

MAN: THE UPPER STAGE
OF THE EAGLE LIFTS OFF,

LEAVING BEHIND THE
NOW-USELESS LANDING STAGE

AND SWINGS INTO ORBIT TO DOCK
WITH COLUMBIA ONCE AGAIN.

MAN: 1,000 FEET HIGH,
80 FEET PER SECOND,
VERTICAL RISE.

MAN: OH, BOY.
HOT DIGGITY DOG.

MAN: WE'RE OFF
AND RUNNING NOW.MAN: YES, SIR.

CRONKITE: ARMSTRONG IN ORBIT.

MAN: ...YOU LOOK AHEAD.

CRONKITE: THEY'RE JUST SHORT OF
24 HOURS ON THE MOON'S SURFACE,

ON THE WAY BACK NOW TO
RENDEZVOUS WITH MIKE COLLINS
ORBITING THE ...

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

MAN: THIS IS APOLLO CONTROL.

COMMUNICATIONS ARE SOMEWHAT
SCRATCHY WITH APOLLO 11.

[LOUD CLANG]

COLUMBIA AND EAGLE NOW REUNITED
TO BECOME APOLLO 11 AGAIN.

MAN: OK, YEAH.

MAN: WHEN THE CREW AND MOON
SAMPLES ARE TRANSFERRED TO
THE COMMAND SERVICE MODULE,

THE LUNAR MODULE IS DISCARDED.

[LOUD BANG]

MAN: 30 SECONDS NOW
UNTIL LOSS OF SIGNAL.

WE'VE HAD A LAST STATUS CHECK
FROM THE FLIGHT DIRECTOR,

AND ALL AROUND THE ROOM,
THE WORD IS "GO."

MAN: APOLLO 11, HOUSTON.
YOU'RE A GO FOR TEI. OVER.

[STATIC]

CRONKITE: AND AT THIS POINT,
WE ARE WAITING,

AS IS MISSION CONTROL
AND IS THE WHOLE WORLD,

FOR THIS WORD THAT
BEHIND THE MOON,

OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE EARTH,
THE ASTRONAUTS OF APOLLO 11

HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FIRED
THE ENGINE FOR THE
TRANSEARTH INJECTION.

MAN: THEY'RE ON THE EDGE
OF THE SEATS JUST AS
YOU AND I ARE.

MAN: ROGER. WE GOT YOU COMING
HOME. IT'S WELL STOCKED.

CRONKITE: THEY'RE
ON THE WAY HOME.

HALLELUJAH!

SEVAREID: WE'RE ALWAYS
GONNA FEEL SOMEHOW
STRANGERS TO THESE MEN.

THEY'VE PEERED
INTO ANOTHER LIFE
WE CAN'T FOLLOW.

HE SAID IT WAS PRETTY,

THE SCENE HE SAW
ON THE MOON.

SOMEHOW, THEY FOUND
A STRANGE BEAUTY THERE

THAT I SUPPOSE THEY
CAN NEVER REALLY
DESCRIBE TO US.

MAN: OH, 11 LINED UP
RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE
OF THE ENTRY CORRIDOR.

MAN: AS IT APPROACHES
THE RE-ENTRY SPEED

OF NEARLY 25,000 MILES PER HOUR,

THE SERVICE MODULE
DROPS AWAY.

MAN: THE COMMAND MODULE COLUMBIA
IS ALL THAT REMAINS

OF THE ORIGINAL 3,000 TONS OF
ROCKET, FUEL, AND CARGO.

THE COMMAND MODULE NOW
PLUNGES INTO THE ATMOSPHERE

PROTECTED BY ITS HEAT SHIELD.

MAN: 11, HOUSTON.

YOU'RE STILL LOOKING
MIGHTY FINE HERE.

YOU'RE CLEARED FOR LANDING.

MAN: ROGER. COPY.

MAN: VELOCITY 34,630 FEET
PER SECOND.

RANGE TO GO TO SPLASH
1,533 NAUTICAL MILES.

[LOUD RUMBLING]

[BEEPING]

[BEEP]

MAN: APOLLO 11, HOUSTON.
TO ARRIVE ...

"HORNET" REPORTS A SONIC BOOM
A SHORT TIME AGO.

MAN: APOLLO 11, HOUSTON.
IN THE BLIND.

AIR BOSS HAS
THE VISUAL CONTACT.

APOLLO 11, HOUSTON. THROUGH
ARIA. STANDING BY. OVER.

CRONKITE: MAXIMUM G-FORCE
SHOULD BE JUST ABOUT NOW.

THEY'RE SEEING THIS GLOWING
RE-ENTRY LIKE A COMET

COMING BACK TO
THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE.

WE'RE GETTING NOTHING
FROM MISSION CONTROL

OR FROM THE SPACESHIP.

COME ON, HOUSTON.
GIVE US A WORD.

CRONKITE: HOT DOG.
APOLLO 11 HAS MADE IT.

AIR BOSS ONE: ALL RIGHT.

MAN: THEY'RE BACK
FROM THE MOON.

ASTRONAUTS ARMSTRONG,
ALDRIN, AND COLLINS,

LANDING IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN
SOUTHWEST OF HAWAII.

[APPLAUSE]

[CROWD CHEERING LOUDLY]

ALDRIN: UH, HOUSTON,
TRANQUILITY. OVER.

NEIL IS NOW
UNVEILING THE PLAQUE.

ARMSTRONG: "HERE MEN FROM
THE PLANET EARTH FIRST
SET FOOT UPON THE MOON.

"WE CAME IN PEACE
FOR ALL MANKIND.

JULY OF 1969 A.D."
