There is a great deal of contrast in it, currently it is upside down on the monitor but we can make out a fair amount of detail. Will you verify the position of the opening of the camera . There is, a foot coming down the steps. You coming can see down the ladder now. Ok, i checked. It is adequate to get back up, it is a smooth the jump. There is a foot on the moon. Stepping on the moon. He must be stepping down on the moon at this point. This is houston. Shadow photography on the camera. Im at the foot of the latter. Ladder. Is only depressed into the surface a few inches. The surface is very finegrained , almost like a powder. Very fine. Walter look at those pictures. A little shadowy, but they expected that in the shadow of the lunar module. Armstrong is on the moon. Neil armstrong, standing on the service of the moon. This july 20, 1969. Neil that is one small step for mankind. Giant leap for i think that was neils quote. One small step for man, but i did not get a second phrase. The surface is fine and powdery. I can pick it up loosely with my 1toe. It is an fine layers like powdered charcoal. Walter that is one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. Neil the footprints of my boot, the treads are in the fine particles. Houston this is houston, we are copying. Thank you television for letting us watch this one. It is something. There seems to be no difficulty in moving around. Easier than the various simulations we performed on the ground. Around. Le to walk walter that is good news. Neil we have about one foot clearance on the ground, we are on a very level place. Of rasee some evidence ys imitating, but very insignificant amount. They need to fix that simulation. Walter yeah. Were getting a negative picture back, they switched to negative polarity. We are in good shape. Looks like it is coming out nice and evenly. Neil it is turkey are in a shadow and hard for me to see. I will work my way into the sunlight without looking directly at the sun. Walter i dont know why the picture is negative clarity, we hope to get it fixed quickly. Unofficial time on the first 24 20. , dont hold it quite so tight. Walter this is like a close line that will bring down a sequence camera for pictures. Lem, imking at the standing in the shadow looking up at the windows, and i can see everything quite clearly. Bright onsufficiently the front of the lem that everything is clearly visible. Walter mans first words, Neil Armstrongs first words, after setting foot on the moon are one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,. He found the bottom step of the latter slightly awry but says it gave him no difficulty in climbing back up to the lunar module. He has found the surface far more powdery than they anticipated, sinking in about 1 8 of an inch, his footprints in the particles, lunar dust on his boot. No more difficulty moving around and simulations on earth. About 25 minutes of activity alone on the earths surface, testing the environment and moving around, taking a good look at the lunar module, which seems to be in good shape. There is little scoring of the moons surface by the engine. It settled nicely but not very neatly into the fine, powdery surface of the moon. It is an good position to provide the platform for takeoff. We have heard something about that. Houston surgeon says the crew is doing well. They are not over exerting, i gather. Not using too much oxygen or using too much heat for the cooling system. One of our concerns are raised. Erased. Neil im going to take some of my first pictures here. Walter he has a camera with him , it is not the sequence camera. Houston we are reading you loud and clear. Walter i think the flight plan called for him to take the samples first and then the pictures. As i have recalled in my reading , the contingency sample minutes expended now. Walter it is confirmed they are on a level place there, which is good, and partly because of his own skill and making the manual landing, it looks like they were coming down in a rough area. Neil is not that gathering of an gathering a contingency sample because he feels there isnt a contingency. Houston, do you copy about the contingency sample . Neil i will get to that just as soon as i vanish thes pictures peered as soon as i finish these pictures. Walter you might be right about what is in his mind, because the contingency sample, if they continue with the walk and get documented samples of rocks, where they identify where they got it and pictures of where they got it. But the contingency sample first. Make sure they get a pocket full of surface rock. Make sure they get something. Beautifully. O walter they are moving around, and the exertion they are is a great thing they have learned already. Neil im going to get the contingency sample. Walter hes got to get tired of the pictures and get the contingency sample. Nag. Nag, he stepped out of the video, i wonder what he is up to now. Neil the contingency sample is down. Difficult to dig through the crust. Surface, butoft ,hen i dig with the collector it is a very hard surface. Cohesive. To be very got this little ist of bag on a rim he dragging across the surface, and as he reports, it is kind of in. To get it in peered neil it is like the high desert of the United States. It is different but very pretty appear. Walter very pretty. Neil a lot of the hard rock they appear toe, be on the surface. Walter they appear to be what . Rock. Ical of volcanic [indiscernible] neil im sure i could push it in further. [indiscernible] [indiscernible] hit it back once more. More toward the inside. That is good. Neil in the pockets . Push down. Got it . Neil. Neil the sample is in the pocket, oxygen is 81 , i have no flags and i am a minimum flow. Houston this is houston, roger neil. Buzz i have the cameras on at one frame a second. Neil ok. 80 , no flags. Neil are you getting a tv picture now houston . Houston yes we are. Neil, this is houston, we are getting a picture, we can see the bag being moved by buzz. Walter hey, look at the bounding step. Buzz are you ready for me to come out . Neil just let me get this over the handrail. Walter talk about being super casual. Hope it doesnt get too casual. Buzz are you ready . Neil all set. You saw what difficulties i was having, i will try to watch you from underneath. Walter aldrin about to emerge apparently from the spacecraft. Armstrong is going to try to help guide him from below. Neil ok, your foot looks like it is clear and ok. Ok, now drop your foot down, you are clear. Good, about anre inch clear. Ok, i need a little bit of arching of the back to come down. How far a mighty feet are my feet from the end . A small foot movement, arch, arching of the back. And clears without any trouble at all. Neil that is good. Houston 45 minutes pls time expended. Walter 45 minutes out of a total of one hour. Houston neil, do you foresee any problems with src transfer . Neil negative peered negative. Walter that is the sample rocks container. This camera angle makes it look vastly higher than they are. [indiscernible] ok, im on the top step and i can look down over the rcu. Matter tory simple hop down from one step to the next. Comfortable,ery and walking is also very comfortable. Steps andhree more then a long one. Walter watch that last step. I guess they expected it to itpact more and as a result, is short. Neil there you go. Walter and now we have two americans on the moon. Buzz another inch. A good step, about a three footer. Walter and look at that. Buzz a beautiful view. Neil isnt that something . Walter like walking on a trampoline. Oh my. Words, beautiful view. [indiscernible]. Il i noticed that there are similar effects all around. Area, therein this is not a lot of fine powder, it is hard to tell if it is a rock. Up. you can pick it buzz it bounces. [indiscernible] reaching down fairly easy. Getting my suit dirty at this stage. The mass of the backpack has some effect. There is a slight tendency, i , backwards. Soft is a soft, very texture. Neil you are on a big rock right now. Very shortly now, armstrong is to take the camera out of the tray and move it out about 30 feet from the spacecraft so we have a view of the entire area. Buzz no crater there at all. Wonder if the crater under the engine is [indiscernible] i think thats a good representation of the velocity of touchdown. [indiscernible] neil [indiscernible] walter aldrin is following the flight plan. [indiscernible] visibility. It looks like mounted rock mounded rock. Rocks, there these is a very powdery surface houston say again, you are cutting out. Rather say the rocks are slippery. The powdery surface [indiscernible] they tend to slide over it easily. Armstrongat would be staring at the camera and removing the camera. He is moving it now. Armstrong getting ready to move the camera into panorama position. Walter the pictures in the very beginning. Buzz i lose my balance in one direction and recovery is very natural and easy. Moving arms around, not quite that light footed peered light footed. The mesa. Ve leanedake sure you are in the direction you want to go. You have to put your foot over to stay where year masses where your mass is. Didnt i say we might see some purple rocks . Neil you found a purple rocks . Sounds so happy. Just beaming over there. Very small. Sparkly. Fragments are back. I would make a first guess. We will leave that to the further analysis. Buzz aldrins transmissions are breaking up. Quarter of an inch. Ok, houston. I am going to change lenses on you. Roger, neil. They have three lenses, i believe. Wideangle, 90 millimeter. Ok, houston. You are getting a picture. Neal, this is houston, that is affirmative. All systems are go. Over. We appreciate that, thank you. I believe the camera is still in the mesa tray. Cant tell if it is a wider view. Neil is now unveiling the plaque. Roger, we have got you foresighted. Put it like that and walk around it. Good. Look at the reflection on the surface. Wed like to aim over to the right. Over. Ok. That is all the cable we have. The director is still in control. [laughter] a little too much to the right, can you bring it back left about four or five degrees . Ok, that looks good, neil. Ok. Further away or closer . Cant get too much further away. Lets try it like that for a while. I will get a couple of panoramas with it here. Roger. You look ok as far as systems go. You are going too fast on the panorama sweep. You will have to stop. I have not set it down yet. That is the first picture of the panorama. Right there. Roger. Does that look a lot like you thought it might look. Wally yes it does. They are doing such a fine job. Tell me if you got a picture, houston . We got a beautiful picture, neil. Ok, i am going to move it. Ok, here is another good one. Ok, weve got that one. This one is right downsun. I want to know if you can see the angular rock in the foreground. Roger, we have a large rock in the foreground. Looks like a much smaller rock a couple inches to the left of it. Over. Beyond it about 10 feet is a larger rock. That rock, the closest one to you is sticking out, it is about a foot and a half long, and about six inches thick. Roger. Ive got the table out and i have a bag deployed. Weve got this view, neil. Roger. We see the shadow of the lm. The little hill just beyond the shadow of the lm is a pair of elongated craters, about 40 feet long and 20 feet across. Probably six feet deep. We will probably get some more work in there later. For a final orientation, wed like it to come left about five degrees. Over. Now, back to the right about half as much. Ok. Ok, that looks good there, neil. Ok. One hour in seven minutes time expended. Incidentally, you can use the shadow the staff makes to assist you getting it perpendicular. Wally buzz is erecting the solar wind experiment now. Mr. Cronkite the solar wind is something you feel against your cheek. Mr. Aldrin it has stopped. Maybe two or three inches. Exactly what the pictures showed when they pushed away a little bit. You get force transmitted through the upper surface of the soil and about five or six inches that breaks loose and moves as if it were caked on the surface, when in fact it really isnt. Mr. Armstrong i noticed in the soft spots, where we have footprints nearly an inch deep that the soil is very cohesive. A slope of probably 70 degrees along the side of the footprints. I sure hope there is no area that is blacked out from the television right now. Mr. Cronkite well there is, russia, the soviet, and china. It is a shame, more than a fourth of the world are being denied this picture by their rulers. Most of the rest of the world, though, including in other communist nations, it is being displayed, including eastern europe. You can see the footprints. Wally i agree. Mr. Cronkite man leaving his footprints on the moon. Without any atmosphere, no wind or rain to wear them away. They might stay there for quite a long time. This is armstrong. Wally he cant believe it. Get that part . That is the rock. Wally they are collecting now the rock samples. These are the ones they will it in a bag and then into the box, the vacuum box. You will have to extend that one. Wally looks like the core they are driving down. Cant really film. Columbia, columbia. This is houston. Over. Wally they have got a core, a piece of pipe, in effect, that they attach onto the saddle. Handle. Neil armstrong has been on the surface now about 45 minutes. Wally they hammer that into the surface and get a sample down below the actual surface, which they already have contaminated with the engine and with their presence. They have to go below, under the contamination, down to almost a foot or so, i think. 16 inches. Wally 16 inches. Houston, columbia on the high again. Over. Columbia, this is houston, reading you lot and clear. Over. Reading you loud and clear. How is it going . Roger. The eva is progressing beautifully. I believe they are setting up the flag now. Great. I guess youre about the only person around that doesnt have tv coverage of the scene. Wally this is the flag, not the core sample. [laughter] mr. Cronkite he doesnt mind a bit not having the television right now. How is the quality of the tv . It is beautiful, mike. It really is. They have the flag up now. You can see the stars and stripes on the lunar surface. Beautiful. Just beautiful wally the flag is on a frame, there is no wind. It is a three foot or five foot flag with a frame of its own to hold it up. Do you need to call that end . Over. Mr. Cronkite seems like they ought to play some music. [chuckles] ok. Mr. Cronkite looks like they are having a little trouble getting that into the surface. Wally lightly, he moves back. I think they are taking pictures of each other with the camera. Yep, exactly what they are doing. The first tourists on the moon. Mr. Cronkite from their description, sounds like a place we would like to go to after all. Magnificent desolation. Different from the United States desert. The first kind words about the moon. Up, they did not think it was so pretty. These fellows on the surface think there is something about it. Neil, this is houston. Radio check. Over. Mr. Armstrong houston, loud and clear. Mr. Aldrin loud and clear, houston. Roger, buzz. Wally they can claim it for now, at least. They cant claim it under the declaration of the United Nations resolution which we all agreed to, that we would not claim the moon or use it for military purposes. So this planting of the flag is not the old 15th, 16th, 17th century planting a flag and claiming territory. It is to put the United States flag there to let the world know that we are there. The sense of pride the American People feel that this tremendous accomplishment. Mr. Aldrin i believe i am out of your field of view, is that right, houston . Affirmative, buzz. You are in our field of view now. Mr. Aldrin you do have to be careful to keep track of where your center of mass is. Make sure youve got your feet underneath you. [laughter] mr. Cronkite that powder. Mr. Aldrin a fairly smooth stop. Mr. Cronkite looks like it is getting pretty frisky up there. Oh, beautiful. Cut a little bit. Kangaroo hop. Seems like your forward ability is not quite as good. Trying to see what they might see. Mr. Aldrin it gets rather tiring. This may be a function of this suit as well as the lack of Gravity Force here. Tranquility base, this is houston. Can we get both of you in the frame, please . Wally i think we are going to have an announcement here. Mr. Armstrong roger, we are about to get in the frame of the camera. Mr. Cronkite yeah, i think something important is coming up. Neil and buzz, the president of the United States is in the office now and what like to Say Something to you. Over. Mr. Armstrong that would be an honor. Go ahead, mr. President. This is houston out. Hello, neil and buzz. I am talking to you on telephone from the oval room in the white house. This has to be the most historic telephone call ever made from the white house. I cant tell you how proud we all are of what you have done. For every american, this has to be the proudest day of our lives. And for people all over the world, i am sure that they, too, join with americans in recognizing what an immense feat this is. Because of what you have done, the heavens have become a part of mans world. 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. For one priceless moment in the whole history of man, all the people on this earth are truly one. One in their pride in what you have done and one in our prayers that you will return safely to earth. Mr. Armstrong thank you, mr. President. It is a great honor and privilege for us to be here representing not only the United States, but men of peace of all nations, and with interest and curiosity, and men with a vision for the future. Its an honor for us to be able to participate here today. President nixon thank you, very much. All of us look forward to seeing you on thursday. Mr. Armstrong thank you. Mr. Aldrin look forward to that very much, sir. Mr. Cronkite splashdown should be on thursday in honolulu, hawaii. Roger, i have the b22 for you. Mr. Armstrong roger, go ahead. P22, landmark i. D. , t11102656. T211032 mr. Cronkite they are reading off the Engineering Data again. 110340. Mr. Cronkite electrical storm in flagstaff, arizona has denied the picture of this landing to the people at the geological laboratory. They have worked and slaved on this thing for years and now they are not getting the picture because of the electrical storm. Similarly, an electrical storm in falls church, virginia and college park, maryland. Getting the picture, either. Mr. Aldrin it is very interesting to note that when i kick my foot, there is no atmosphere here. They seem to leave and most of them have the same angle of departure and velocity. From where i stand, a large portion of them will impact at a certain distance south. The percentage that will impact different regions south. Highly dependent upon the initial trajectory upwards from where most already the particles are. Roger, buzz. Columbia, this is houston. When you track out, must request omni delta. Omni delta. Over. Timesoticed several flying from the sunlight into the shadows. Just as i go in, there is a lamp, alongff the with the reflection off my face onto the visor, makes visibility very poor just at the transition. Sunlight into the shadow. I have so much glare coming onto my visor. The helmet actually gets the shadow and then it takes a short while for my eyes to adapt to the conditions. Visibility, as weve said before, is not too great. [indiscernible] mr. Aldrin after being out in the sunlight, it takes we can see you on the cable. Ok. Lift up your right foot. Your toe is still hooked in it. Mr. Armstrong that one . Mr. Aldrin yes. It is still hooked in it. Ok, you are clear now. Mr. Armstrong thank you. Lets move it over this way. Wally Neil Armstrong has the scoop for the bulk sample collection. They have about another hour and 25 minutes of activity before it will be closed. They have an hour more on the scope. The color of my boots have completely disappeared now. I dont know what color to describe this other than a gryaish coco color. We are recovering most of the lighter part of the boot. Very fine particles. Buzz, this is houston. You are cutting out at the end of your transmissions. Can you move your microphone over . Mr. Aldrin roger. I will try that. Beautiful. Mr. Aldrin that went inside my mouth that time. It sounded a little wet. Neil has been on the surface an hour now. Buzz, not quite 20 minutes less than that. In general, time spent in the to have anyt seem thermal effects inside the suit. Courses a difference of in the radiation in the helmet but there is a tendency to be cooler in the shadow than out in the sun. This is houston. Over. One hour and a half extended on the poss. This is houston. Over. They are working on this rock sample. Take a scoop and scoop up some of the rocks and put them in a bag that can be transferred. Columbia, this is houston. Over. You should have aos right about now. It will be 40 minutes and 15 seconds. You have to realize on the moon, they are in 1 6 gravity. If they wore that pack on the ground he would be 360 pounds. He would hardly be moving like that. Eighs 60 pounds. Ay with the backpack, the whole suit. There is a scoop, you got a good picture of it there. You have a square bucket light scoop on the end of the extension arm and it drags it across the surface. Averaging between 90 and 100. Flight surgeon reports right on the predicted number of the btu units expended in energy. He thinks they are in great shape. Looking around, the contrast in general differs greatly by virtue of the [indiscernible] very light colored gray, light gray color halo around my own shadow, the shadow of my helmet. The contest becomes longer. The drowning color is still fairly light. ,s you look down into the sun it is a larger amount of shadowed areas looking toward us. Darker. Ral color is the contest is not as big. Surveying the area that we have picked up, considerably darker. I imagine this is the [indiscernible] ive beenn where looking at this surface details. It is generally of a darker content. For those of you trying to take pictures off your television tube of these men on the moon, hints from cbs news Photography Department regarding this matter first of all, for those with simple cameras Neil Armstrong bringing the scoop. Out. 40 feet we have about an hour or more. Roger. Right in this area there are two craters. The one that is in front of me now as i look at the Eleven Oclock position is 30 to 35 feet across. Folders. 68 inches across. Cbs news photographers suggests if you try to take a picture with a simple camera, one that you cannot focus or change the lens opening. Stand back at least five feet, turn up the brightness and stand triex film of possible and stand at least five feet away. Buzz is behind at the minus z strut. If you have an adjustable camera, they suggest a 56 lens 1 30 shutter speed of second. That is for blackandwhite, of course. 56 opening, speed of 1 30, daylight color film they suggest the set at 28 and shutter speed a second. To minimize the bluish cast use an 81a or skylight. If you havent got them, you can rush out and get them now but if you have them, that is the suggestion of the cbs photographic team. They have been on the surface an hour and 10 minutes. Mr. Cronkite a between the lens shutter might eliminate the bar that we are getting across the screen. We dont see it with the eye but the camera operating at a speed will see it. We are now in the area of the minus y strut. Taking photographs. Mr. Cronkite one of the important things we are finding out with more than hour of walking in the moon behind us buzz is making his way around and photographing and looking at its condition on all sides. Mr. Cronkite is that the energy extended, heat rate, body temperature, cooling of the suit, all of these things are working as they planned them. Still occupied with the rock sample. Mr. Cronkite things indicate, wally, we will have more exploration in the future without the pain we have had with the old eva. I believe we are doing better. 40 minutes time expended on the poss now. They are doing better than predicted. Having more emotion than anticipated. Romping around up there. Slow Movement Predicted taking place. Mr. Cronkite they have 15 rocks sealed for samples and these are the documented rocks, presumably, once they take up individually and photographed where they got them and they put them in a box with the proper number to identify. These are not just the raw rock samples. Presumably, they have completed that and have a couple boxes of those. Now they are getting the specific documented samples. Columbia, this is houston. Go ahead. Over. [indiscernible] i did see a suspiciously small white object. Go ahead with the coordinates of the small white object. It is on the southwest ramp of the crater. I think they would know it if they were in such a location. It looks like they were able to pick it up at quite a degree. It is on the southwest wall of the crater. Roger. Copy. Echo decimal three and seven decimal six. Columbia, this is houston. While i am talking to you. We will be at 111 and one niner, 1120523. Over. The transmission of mike collins, 69 miles above them. He said he saw white object down than. Might be it was on the rim of the crater and he was sure if it was the know theyey would were there on the crater. I suppose it could be, couldnt it, that the definition of a crater 69 miles up might be such that they wouldnt recognize it . That is possible. It seems to be that it could be the crater. If there was that much light on the rim itself which may make it difficult to see what we see. What we see is a very dim object. Just imagine what they see. Mr. Cronkite it is a reflective surface from this angle, anyway. [indiscernible] you are breaking up again, buzz. I say the jet deflector on quad four seems to be more wrinkled than the one on quad one. It seems to have set up quite well to the pictures in the part of the lens that illuminate the thermal effect much better than we can get them up here in the front. Roger that. We want to get some particular photographs of the ok. Mr. Cronkite the Associated Press writer in the space center in houston has a wonderful lead on his story. I am 3. 78 at a time. Mr. Cronkite he said they kept the whole world waiting while they dressed to go out. Once the whole world saw Neil Armstrongs one small step for man, one giant step for mankind. It could take them as long to prepare for the walk on the moon as they had planned for. Roger. Neil is 66 02. Minimum cooling. Pressure is 382. Houston, roger that. Mr. Cronkite they all sound like good figures. Very good. Particularly the minimum cooling. That is great to see that perform so well. Neil has finished collecting and packing the rock sample. Buzz, this is houston. Have you removed the closeup camera . [indiscernible] negative, thank you. Look at the first step they have been there a little over an hour. Mr. Cronkite that is what you are talking about earlier and they adapted to the weightlessness of the spaceflight and the 1 6 gravity of the moon. There were so many doubters. Unbelievable. They are all members of the club now. It was a hard fight years ago. Mr. Cronkite one of the arguments about not sending man up there thinking he couldnt survive in space and on the moon. [indiscernible] roger, it looks like we are half an hour slow and we are working on it. All right. Arent you glad there are no chimpanzees standing there right now . Mr. Cronkite they were the first experimenters on the moon and explorers. They are running about a half hour behind the plan, as you heard from Mission Control for what they will do on the moons surface. However, we heard a moment ago that they have finished packing the rock samples. We havent heard of the deployment of the socalled early apollo experiment. Buzz, this is houston. To clarify, your consumables are in good shape at this time. With respect was to the phenomenal timeline. Over. Roger, i understand that. Mr. Cronkite there is a that is is a seismometer experiment that they leave on the moon surface and will send back for a period of time reports on the impact of moon surface the and any earthquake activity in the moon. Prisonlike mirror. Prismlike mirror that puts lasers. Anybody can do that. A powerful enough laser and a lot of people do, you can try to focus on the reflector with a laser beam. That is a controlled beam of light to the moon. The known time of the speed of light and the return of the light signal and we will get measurements of the moons wobble and the earths wobble even the drift of our continents from those measurements. By laser. Slightly over an hour and 20 minutes. No abnormalities in the rim. That seems to be in good shape. The antennas are in place. There is no evidence of problem underneath or any drainage of any kind. Roger that. Is very surprising the lack of penetration of all four of the footpads. [indiscernible] you measured for three inches. Plaques at the most, yeah at the most. That part is probably less than that. Mr. Cronkite you can see the at clearly in the picture. The foot pads clearly and has sunk into the surface. There is a picture of them. Discs at the bottom of the struts in which they landed. I get a picture of the fy strut taking from the defense stage and we will able to see better what the upper effects are. They are to be quite minimal. Mr. Cronkite they have slowly gotten the documented rock samples. They have 15 rock samples and those would be the documented rocks and the documented rock samples are at the tail end of the series of experiments on the moon. What they said a while ago mr. Cronkite he was talking about 15 samples of rocks and not 15 rocks. I couldnt hear the transmission but the word that was transferred to me was 15 rocks. Radiating, edging away or erosion of the surface. See of us remarked we could a large amount of very fine dust particles moving out. There was reported beforehand that we would probably see now guessing from the surface actual engine shutdown but i recall i was unable to verify that. Mr. Cronkite they said the ceiling they have is they stick with two hours 40 minutes with the hatch open to the ceiling. If i had to take a wild guess, i would say that would be in a halfhour. Getting back in. Just getting in the angle, neil. Yup, i think you are right. Mr. Cronkite so far they have collected the contingency and the bulk rock sample. Deployed the television set. The rock samples, did the solar wind experiment, had the ceremony with president nixon which they stood at attention as good as they could in the suits as the president greeted them on the moon. They got a salute from the two men standing either side of the they deployed where you see to the right of the module. Get the documented sample of rocks. Very little force of impact we actually have. We are still expecting the lunar module. It has scientific value as well. Seeing how they interacted. Great. Columbia, columbia, this is houston. Go ahead. Some closeup pictures of that rock . I would saying if you want to ,tart moving again sideways with gradual sideways hops. Roger. Can you see it underneath the buzz, we can see your feet sticking out. Ok, im just on the other side of the now we can see you through the structure. The secondary strut. 01 26 51. The bay contains the scientific experiments to be left on the surface of the moon. The laser reflect yoer. Looks like they will stay up without any problem. Libya, this is houston columbia, columbia, this is houston. We are about to lose you. Request high gain antenna. Over . Pick an area, neil. 175 on the high gain. Locked up in the high gain. Roger that. The surgeon says everything looks fine. Mr. Cronkite following the same timeline as the earlier plan. It should begin climbing back into the lunar module at 12 49 Eastern Daylight Time and that is 21 minutes from now. Armstrong brought in about 10 minutes later. The seismometer has been deployed manually. Roger. They have been in the portable life support systems for two hours now. Mr. Cronkite this success of the landing and a first walk on the moon, already cbs news correspondent dan rather reports, and the white house thes secretary, saying president can be expected to make a policy decision with our exploration of mars in the next 30 to 60 days. Just get hold and put a pull it loose. Cronkite we have heard from mr. Agnew that he did not express and so many words the recommendation to be going to mars. In so many words, the recommendation to be going to mars. This is the 730 position. About 60 feet. That is Neil Armstrong to the left of the screen. Got us a good area picked out . I think the area on the rise out there is probably as good as any. Stay on the high ground. Watch it, the crater is a little bit soft. It is a little bit soft, isnt it . These quite round, large boulders. Cronkite this is Neil Armstrong talking on the rights carrying the two experiments. About 40 feet out. It is going to be difficult to find a good level spot here. On the top of the next little hedge, would that be a pretty good place . Sounds like a couple of boy scouts looking for a spot. All right. Theyre going to have to get on the other side of this rock here. I would go right around the crater to the left. This right here is just as level. And they will be out of the cameras field of view while setting up these experiments. Can you make out what that by the fire . 2 and the thing notported is that i do believe i believe that anymore. I think it is a small crater. They look like impact craters. Where abb shot has hit the surface, where a bb shot where a bb shot has hit the surface. [indiscernible] the advisors think that is a solar wind experiment. I thought the solar wind experiment had a flat surface. Deploy to a flat surface . We are looking at that side on. One of the things that does is thatg me a bit that may very well blow that flag over. You are right about that. We will not know because you will have no television, but future missions may have that, but they decided not to deploy a flight whichthis would give us the capability of using the lunar module to go ahead and transmit a picture. As it is, this picture is being transmitted through antenna. Can i have the seismic. Xperiment i am having a little bit of difficulty getting the center. It wants to move around and around on the outside. You are cutting out again, buzz. Mr. Cronkite we will not know until men go back to that spot. I do not think we have any complaints on the television on this one. Mr. Cronkite suggested to staff, the test pattern for the tv camera, very well may be. , it is your lower left the panel for the solar wind. Installed,ector is and it is level, and everything appears to be good. They are now looking for these documented rock samples. Gnomen. The g is silent. Yescronkite nomen, nomen yes. I find it hard to get it perfectly level, too. Mr. Cronkite it looks like that is half that size and suspended finds the vertical at all times. Picture and to a get the proper resolution of the camera. I do not think there is any hope for using a leveling device. It looks to me as though the copier that the bb is in is now convex instead of concave, over. Bb is supposed to travel through a track. It looks level by eyeball. Much like the carpenters level, the little curve tracks. The curve is going up and it is downhill. How can that be . What we are discussing is on a leveling device on the seismometer. [indiscernible] you know what is really lacking is the huffing and puffing of the gemini days. Mr. Cronkite yeah, that is right. The sound of the little locomotive, i think i can, i think i can. It wont work. Stop, stop. Backup. The spacing saying the right hand solar delay deployed automatically. Manuallyhand, i had to at the far end. Solar are clear of the ground now. Understand, you did successfully deploy both, over . Affirmative. And there is not any way of telling if that is lined up without getting in the way. Maybe they can get down here. Mr. Cronkite these pictures look like some of those early movies of sciencefiction of man on the moon, dont they . The color of the blackwhite registration, it looks like old movies. Incredible. Just before they started the spacewalk, aldrin realized he was deploying now, he said i sure wish id shaved last night. [laughter] you are in good shape. Subject to your concurrence, we would like to extend the minutes of the eva 1. 5 from nominal, and will still give buzz a hack at 10 minutes for heading in. Your current elapsed time is 212, over. Mr. Cronkite an extra 15 minutes on the moon surface. Make aldrins entrance into the lunar module about five minutes after the hour. 2 12 is the time expended on the plss. This is used in. Thisre still in the is houston. If you are still in the vicinity, could you get a photograph of it level, over . All right, we will get a photograph of that. Houston, at what time do we need do you estimate for the documented sample, over . Oh, shoot. Middlel is right in the now. Wonderful. Take a picture before it moves. [laughter] mr. Cronkite he is talking about the little ball the bubble. We are estimating about 10 minutes for the document sampling, over. Deployment ofthe the passive seismic experiment , that isser reflector only the documented rock sample to complete all of their missions on the moon. I would like to terminate charging battery bravo at 1 11. Mike collins up in columbia, the command module. They are constantly monitoring the systems in columbia. Alert to that they are them, watching them, not worried about them. Things are going well there, too. This is houston. Youve got about 10 minutes left prior to commencing your eva termination activities, over. Roger, i understand. I know how he feels when he sees something good like this coming to a close. Its a real letdown. Mr. Cronkite i think all of us on earth, including those of us might be a little bit sleepy, coming on 6 00 in europe, could watch this for a long time. There will never be a day like this again. Tranquility base, this is houston. The experiment has been on uncaged and we are observing, over. Very good, it is working. They are actually working. Neil armstrong has been on the surface now for about an hour and 50 minutes. While were talking about standing on the moon, i would begin to think maybe i would not want to log his flight time. Log his moon time. Mr. Cronkite [indiscernible] anytime. Time and a half, planet to planet. [laughter] over time, i guess. Mr. Cronkite the words of an old song come to me. There ought to be a moonlight savings time to keep that moon out over time. That moonwalk out overtime. Both coming back home here. You see them driving that cord down now. There they are. He has the geologist pick and he has hammering on that little crossbar. A pike driving it into the moons surface. Buzz aldrin is collecting a cord to sample. I hope you are watching how hard i have to hit this into the ground to the tune of about five inches, houston. It is not as easy as it looks. They thought maybe they could put it in the hands. Really . Of the desert,ng it takes eight sledgehammer to get a spike into that. Buzz said it almost looks wet. Got a sample. Mr. Cronkite i gather, we have had some inquiries. We mentioned that glare, the glare on the screen on the lefthand side. For those who missed it, thats the sun reflecting on one of the landing struts. Two core tubes and the solar wind, over. Mr. Cronkite on the right there, the american flag. We dont have much definition of the stars, but it is there. Might have missed that report earlier. Mr. Cronkite we did get some inquiries, so apparently some people did. The cord to provide material. Apparently a little bit. I will take care of it. Buzz, this is houston, you have approximately three minutes until you must commence your eva termination activities. Roger, i understand. Columbia, this is houston, approximately one minute to los. Over. Do you plan on commencing on the backside . If so, well disable the up link to you. Houston, were you able to record in a documentary way where the two tube samples were taken . Negative. I did not get those two, but they are mainly in the vicinity of the solar rim. This is houston, youve got the cord tubes and the solar wind. Anything else that you can throw into the box if you are comfortable. Lott litterers, d ont be a litterbug. A litterbug . They are going to be litter bugs, leaving a lot of equipment there, if they dont need to bring it back with them. Indeed, they dont want to weigh n getting than a lot 16 more of people are probably going to get. Unbelievable. Well be so busy looking at them, its unbelievable. That will be determinative. That will be returned. Yes, it well. The stuff to be left on the moon, the cost we had to pay for it in development and engineering and manufacturing comes to about 1. 25 million. Appraised properly. Portable life support systems. Houston, its about time for you to start your eva close out activities. Mr. Cronkite they are worth 300,000 apiece, 1 million in just those two life support systems. They have been on their life support systems two hours and 25 minutes. Thingsof the important is that you have to leave some of that weight, what we would call here mass behind to be balanced out by the rocks that they are taking back. On the launch pad about a pound represent 500 pounds. If you take it to the moon and bring it back. If you take it to the moon and leave it there, it is a little over 200 pounds on the launch pad. By no means a pure fact but kind of a ratio. He appears to be picking up rocks to the right of the screen. Aldrinnkite you see right by the lunar module, should be getting ready very shortly to climb into the lunar module again. His walk on the moon terminated. This is houston, i would like to remind you of the closeup buffer start up the leader. Latter. Up the ladder. Cameras underneath, have to pick it up im picking up several pieces of this particular route out here now. That film camera. They are taking what is going to rest on the moon being left there. Thats worth 50,000 itself, and the television camera, the estimate there is a quarter of a million to half a million dollars. Camera magazine, im closing out the sample. Running low on time. Whats your Weight Reduction program . This is one of the things we talked about. Leaving these items behind. Mr. Cronkite when they talked about the fact that they had to bring back 100 to 130 pounds of rock instead of equipment,ck this one of the officials in houston said, we know what an 11,000 camera looks like. We dont know what moon looks like. I guess we can make moonshine, but not moon rock moon rock. I can quickly take this and head up the ladder. Houston is being very lenient with their timeline on buzz going back up. They said three minutes, but that has already gone by. I thought at the moment that they got out a little early according to the timeline. Anything more before i head up . On up thee, head ladder, buzz. About as close to an order as i have heard. He just leaped up on the step. Hes left the moons surface. Up behind, climbing the ladder. No trouble getting that first step. There you see him. Above the flag over on the right. That white dot right above the horizon on the right is a phosphorus spot from the tv converter in the park station in australia doesnt mean to me. Buzz aldrin and Neil Armstrong. 39 years old, montclair, new jersey. Has finished his walk on the moon. Climbing back into the lunar module, and his commander, Neil Armstrong, will finish his walk as soon as buzz aldrin is up there. Weve seen all of this historic walk right there on television, from a quarter of a million miles out from space. Buzz does have a first. Hes the first one to leave the moon. [laughter] mr. Cronkite i hope history records that three men made this trip. Neil armstrong, buzz aldrin and mike collins. I think Neil Armstrong would agree certainly that history should not simply record that the first man on the moon was Neil Armstrong. Period. Okay. Im heading on in. Okay. Neil has been on the surface a few minutes longer than two hours. Buzz, approximately 20 minutes less than that. Neil, this is houston. Did the magazine go off on that sample return container also . Ive got half a brand magazine hooked roger. Weve got a record of losing those film and camera magazines in space. Dont want to leave any on the moon. Leave the cameras but not the pictures they took. Nothing worse coming home from a vacation and finding that you didnt get pictures of the kids.

Onch American History tv cspan3 this weekend for special apollo 11 coverage commemorating the 50th anniversary of the landing and return of the apollo 11 astronaut and spacecraft. Sunday night on cspans q a, we found that the people that really got in this country, it is not congress, and it is not the president , it is bureaucrats. They write thousands of rules and regulations that have become law. And we found out that they do not think much of ordinary americans. Benjamin ginsberg, professor of Political Science and chair of general studies at John Hopkins Universitys cusses his book what washington gets wrong the unelected officials that actually run the government and their misconceptions about the American People. We learned that we elect a congress that makes the law, the president executes the law, and the Court Reviews the laws, but that is not how the system works. Much of what we think about as the law consists of rules and regulations written by bureaucratic agencies, by bureaucrats that are not elected by anyone, and who often serve for decades. Sunday night at 8 00 eastern on cspans q a. Members of the u. S. House marks apollo 11s 50th anniversary earlier this week. Heres a look at some of the floor speeches. Thank you, mr. Speaker. As chairwoman of the committee on science, space, and technology, its an honor to stand before you today to celebrate the 50th anniversary of apollo 11.
