Spacelog Apollo 11

Very smooth touchdown.

…

Okay. It looks like we're venting the oxidizer now.

Roger, Eagle. And you are STAY for —

…

— T1. Over. Eagle, you are STAY for T1.

Roger. Understand, STAY for T1.

Roger. And we see you venting the OX.

Roger.

… circuit breaker.

… copy NOUN 60, NOUN 43. Over.

Roger. We have it.

Houston, how do you read Columbia on the high gain?

Roger —

…

— We read you five by, Columbia. He has landed, Tranquility Base. Eagle is at Tranquility. Over.

Yes. I heard the whole thing.

… good show.

Fantastic.

Engine STOP RESET.

Houston, Columbia went UPTELEMETRY COMMAND, RESET, to reacquire on the high gain.

Copy. Out.

Eagle, Houston. You loaded R2 wrong. We want 10254.

Roger.

And do you want V horizontal 5515.2?

That's affirmative.

Like—AGS to PGNS align.

Say again?

Like an AGS to PNGS align. Over.

Roger. We're standing by for it.

… quantity …

Eagle, Houston. You are STAY for T2. Over.

Correction, you're —

Roger. STAY for T2. We thank you.

Roger, sir.

Tranquility Base, Houston. We recommend you exit P12. Over.

Hey, Houston, that may have seemed like a very long final phase. The AUTO targeting was taking us right into a football field size—football field sized crater, with a large number of big boulders and rocks for about … one or two crater diameters around it, and it required a … in P66 and flying manually over the rock field to find a reasonably good area.

Roger. We copy. It was beautiful from here, Tranquility. Over.

We'll get to the details of what's around here, but it looks like a collection of just about every variety of shape, angularity, granularity, about every variety of rock you could find. The colors—Well, it varies pretty much depending on how you're looking relative to the zero-phase point. There doesn't appear to be too much of a general color at all. However, it looks as though some of the rocks and boulders, of which there are quite a few in the near area, it looks as though they're going to have some interesting colors to them. Over.

Roger. Copy. Sounds good to us, Tranquility. We'll let you press on through the simulated countdown, and we'll talk to you later. Over.

Roger.

Okay. This one sixth g is just like the airplane.

Roger. Tranquility. Be advised there's lots of smiling faces in this room and all over the world. Over.

Well, there are two of them up here.

Roger. That was a beautiful job, you guys.
