Roger. The little hill just beyond the shadow of the LM is a pair of elongate craters about—probably the pair together is about 40 feet long and 20 feet across, and they're probably 6 feet deep. We'll probably get some more work in there later.

Some of these small depressions *** tend to sink—oh, maybe 2 or 3 inches. *** suggest exactly what the Surveyor pictures showed when they pushed away a little bit. You get a force transmitted through the upper surface of the soil and about 5 or 6 inches of bay breaks loose and moves as if it were caked on the surface, when in fact it really isn't.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
I noticed in the soft spots where we had footprints nearly an inch deep that the soil is very cohesive and it will retain a—will retain a slope of probably 70 degrees along side of the footprints.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. The EVA is progressing beautifully. I believe they are setting up the flag now.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

I guess you're about the only person around that doesn't have TV coverage of the scene.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Yes, indeed. They've got the flag up now and you can see the stars and stripes on the lunar surface.
-
Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
That's good. See if you can pull that end off a little bit. Take that end up a little.

I'd like to evaluate the various paces that a person can *** traveling on the lunar surface. I believe I'm out of your field of view. Is that right, now, Houston?
