1
00:00:35,256 --> 00:00:40,010
THE FOLLOWING IS BASED
ON A TRUE STORY
2
00:02:09,470 --> 00:02:12,514
Excuse me, sir.
You've come in the wrong way.
3
00:02:13,848 --> 00:02:14,891
I'm sorry.
4
00:02:15,058 --> 00:02:16,476
This is the old entrance.
5
00:02:16,643 --> 00:02:18,353
The visitor's center's
back out and left.
6
00:02:18,603 --> 00:02:21,522
All right... I'll
wander over there.
7
00:02:21,814 --> 00:02:24,984
Well worth it. Been through
some amazing times.
8
00:02:41,375 --> 00:02:44,044
This nation should
commit itself...
9
00:02:44,294 --> 00:02:48,297
to achieving the goal,
before this decade is out....
10
00:02:48,506 --> 00:02:52,551
of landing a man on the moon
and returning him safely.
11
00:02:56,347 --> 00:02:58,099
Liftoff. The clock is running.
12
00:03:09,859 --> 00:03:11,528
Godspeed, John Glenn.
13
00:03:16,658 --> 00:03:18,118
We choose to go to the moon.
14
00:03:19,786 --> 00:03:23,831
To go to the moon in this decade
and do the other things...
15
00:03:24,707 --> 00:03:28,377
not because they are easy,
but because they are hard.
16
00:03:31,797 --> 00:03:35,259
Liftoff. Go control
17
00:03:42,140 --> 00:03:45,518
Tminus 1 minute,
35 seconds and counting.
18
00:03:45,685 --> 00:03:47,019
Ignition sequence start
19
00:03:53,025 --> 00:03:54,777
Tower clear.
20
00:03:54,986 --> 00:03:56,571
Apollo 9, you're go all the way.
21
00:03:56,821 --> 00:04:00,115
Apollo 10, your trajectory
and guidance are go.
22
00:04:00,490 --> 00:04:03,368
Man is about to launch himself
on a trip to the moon.
23
00:04:03,577 --> 00:04:04,953
Neil Armstrong.
24
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:06,872
Edwin "Buzz''Aldrin.
25
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,373
Michael Collins.
26
00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:10,542
Next stop for them, the moon.
27
00:04:10,792 --> 00:04:13,628
The lunar age is about to begin.
28
00:04:22,303 --> 00:04:24,763
When the guy counts down...
29
00:04:24,972 --> 00:04:27,808
the 3 astronauts will take off
in Apollo 11 for America.
30
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:31,770
The rocket will fly to the moon...
31
00:04:32,396 --> 00:04:33,522
Landing module.
32
00:04:33,689 --> 00:04:36,024
Landing module comes off
and lands.
33
00:04:36,316 --> 00:04:41,029
The astronauts come out and get
shot my Martians with lasers!
34
00:04:41,362 --> 00:04:43,031
- Damien.
- And their heads explode!
35
00:04:43,198 --> 00:04:45,366
They they'll fly to
Earth and kill us!
36
00:04:45,575 --> 00:04:46,493
That won't happen.
37
00:04:46,784 --> 00:04:48,036
It might.
38
00:04:48,578 --> 00:04:49,704
Next? Graeme.
39
00:04:50,872 --> 00:04:52,956
Just a minute, Graeme.
40
00:04:53,373 --> 00:04:55,876
- Melanie?
- I haven't done the moon landing.
41
00:04:56,084 --> 00:04:57,294
Thank God.
42
00:04:57,461 --> 00:05:00,923
I've made a model of the
telescope and dish in Parkes.
43
00:05:01,131 --> 00:05:03,717
When Neil Armstrong lands
on the moon...
44
00:05:03,926 --> 00:05:07,095
the world will be watching
television pictures...
45
00:05:07,262 --> 00:05:09,306
from the radio telescope in Parkes.
46
00:05:10,848 --> 00:05:13,184
Mr. Callen, the prime minister
wants to see you.
47
00:05:13,392 --> 00:05:15,144
- Can it wait?
- I don't think so.
48
00:05:15,311 --> 00:05:16,479
What's it about?
49
00:05:16,646 --> 00:05:19,023
He just got off the phone
to the White House.
50
00:05:23,402 --> 00:05:25,863
- Do you know who just phoned?
- No, sir.
51
00:05:26,030 --> 00:05:28,073
The President of the U.S.A., Nixon.
52
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,366
I wasn't aware...
53
00:05:29,658 --> 00:05:32,160
Thanking me for allowing NASA
to use our facility.
54
00:05:32,369 --> 00:05:34,037
And something about an upgrade?
55
00:05:34,246 --> 00:05:35,747
What was he talking about?
56
00:05:35,997 --> 00:05:39,125
- There was a briefing...
- I don't read those bloody things.
57
00:05:40,669 --> 00:05:42,921
- Are we raising this in the House?
- We should.
58
00:05:44,172 --> 00:05:47,758
- What's this all about?
- Nixon referred to our telescope.
59
00:05:47,967 --> 00:05:51,178
NASA requested its use
in the Apollo program...
60
00:05:51,345 --> 00:05:53,138
originally as a backup receiver.
61
00:05:53,305 --> 00:05:55,766
- Originally?
- They upgraded its role.
62
00:05:55,933 --> 00:05:59,478
When Apollo 11 gets to the moon,
Parkes is the receiving station.
63
00:05:59,645 --> 00:06:02,106
- Meaning?
- We've got the moonwalk.
64
00:06:02,356 --> 00:06:05,566
The people at this place
know what they're doing?
65
00:06:05,733 --> 00:06:07,860
- I believe so.
- Bloody well hope so.
66
00:06:08,611 --> 00:06:10,279
Why'd they pick us?
67
00:06:10,446 --> 00:06:13,324
It's the largest in the
Southern Hemisphere.
68
00:06:13,783 --> 00:06:16,536
What's it doing in the middle
of sheep paddock?
69
00:06:24,376 --> 00:06:28,255
The Parkes telescope, or as
we call it, the Dish....
70
00:06:28,672 --> 00:06:31,049
will track Apollo 11's journey....
71
00:06:31,216 --> 00:06:34,678
gathering astronauts'signals,
telemetry from the spaceship...
72
00:06:34,845 --> 00:06:39,598
and most important, the TV
signals from the moon itself.
73
00:06:39,849 --> 00:06:42,643
It's 210 feet in diameter,
weighs 1,000 tons....
74
00:06:42,810 --> 00:06:47,523
and can point in al directions.
The most powerful in the world.
75
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:52,153
Can I have their full names
and specific roles?
76
00:06:52,528 --> 00:06:56,239
This is Ross Mitchell, responsible
for maneuvering the Dish.
77
00:06:56,781 --> 00:06:59,868
Glenn Latham, in charge
of the electronics.
78
00:07:00,034 --> 00:07:02,746
Glenn's a Sagittarius.
He enjoys knitting...
79
00:07:02,954 --> 00:07:04,956
Mitch, don't write that.
80
00:07:05,248 --> 00:07:06,875
From NASA, Al Burnett.
81
00:07:07,041 --> 00:07:10,670
Al's here to get all signals
to mission control.
82
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:11,921
Enjoying your stay
in Australia, Al?
83
00:07:12,130 --> 00:07:13,964
Very much.
The people are warm...
84
00:07:14,131 --> 00:07:15,466
Great.
85
00:07:15,716 --> 00:07:18,260
You, Cliff, what's your
official title?
86
00:07:18,427 --> 00:07:21,054
Cliff Buxton, director.
87
00:07:21,305 --> 00:07:22,306
Or the Dishmaster.
88
00:07:23,724 --> 00:07:25,559
Now I'll add a few
personal details.
89
00:07:25,726 --> 00:07:26,894
- Married?
- Yeah.
90
00:07:27,060 --> 00:07:29,354
- Glenn?
- Fianc�, Janice Kellerman.
91
00:07:29,563 --> 00:07:31,939
She's not. I don't have one.
92
00:07:32,106 --> 00:07:33,816
Married. Two boys in Houston.
93
00:07:34,025 --> 00:07:35,485
And you, Cliff?
94
00:07:38,529 --> 00:07:39,489
Married.
95
00:07:40,114 --> 00:07:41,407
And just finally...
96
00:07:41,657 --> 00:07:43,659
I mean, no offense, but...
97
00:07:43,826 --> 00:07:47,830
the Americans spent 10 years,
billions of dollars...
98
00:07:47,997 --> 00:07:51,791
to watch man walk on the moon,
and it falls to you blokes.
99
00:07:55,629 --> 00:07:57,672
How do you feel about that?
100
00:07:57,839 --> 00:07:59,341
Much better before you
opened your trap.
101
00:07:59,883 --> 00:08:04,387
We feel confident that we have the
expertise to complete our role.
102
00:08:05,096 --> 00:08:06,388
But, Cliff...
103
00:08:06,764 --> 00:08:08,974
it's amazing, isn't it?
104
00:08:12,186 --> 00:08:13,687
Yes, it is amazing.
105
00:08:13,854 --> 00:08:17,816
And so Australia becomes a vital
cog in this grand endeavor.
106
00:08:19,235 --> 00:08:20,945
Early this morning...
107
00:08:21,111 --> 00:08:24,906
I conveyed to President Nixon
my long-term interest...
108
00:08:25,114 --> 00:08:28,284
and commitment to this project.
109
00:08:28,451 --> 00:08:31,371
It will be one of the
proudest moments...
110
00:08:31,537 --> 00:08:34,415
in Australia's scientific history.
111
00:08:35,833 --> 00:08:40,004
And I've accepted the invitation
of the mayor of Parkes...
112
00:08:40,255 --> 00:08:44,132
to be there on Monday
and witness firsthand...
113
00:08:44,299 --> 00:08:47,094
our vital contribution.
114
00:08:48,428 --> 00:08:50,639
That is an R.S.V.P.
115
00:08:50,806 --> 00:08:52,349
The prime minister
coming to Parkes.
116
00:08:52,557 --> 00:08:54,518
- I'll frame that.
- It's icing on the cake.
117
00:08:54,768 --> 00:08:57,980
- Know why this means so much?
- It helps your political career.
118
00:08:58,313 --> 00:08:59,647
- No, Len.
- Oh, it doesn't, yeah.
119
00:08:59,855 --> 00:09:02,942
The PM with the candidate.
Brown-nosing.
120
00:09:03,150 --> 00:09:05,236
- Licking arse.
- No.
121
00:09:05,528 --> 00:09:06,862
It's a vindication.
122
00:09:08,864 --> 00:09:09,991
Oh, a vindication.
123
00:09:10,324 --> 00:09:13,703
Of my campaign to get that
dish here in the first place.
124
00:09:13,953 --> 00:09:15,371
That was an episode.
125
00:09:16,580 --> 00:09:18,999
You know what people said
when I proposed Parkes?
126
00:09:19,290 --> 00:09:22,752
You were grandstanding, it was a
stunt to big-note yourself.
127
00:09:23,003 --> 00:09:24,045
Who said that?
128
00:09:28,049 --> 00:09:29,884
They said I was a dreamer.
129
00:09:30,093 --> 00:09:31,136
A visionary.
130
00:09:31,761 --> 00:09:33,013
Yeah, that's right.
131
00:09:33,555 --> 00:09:36,473
"Bob Mclntyre, you'll
never pull it off."
132
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:37,850
And now...
133
00:09:38,392 --> 00:09:41,729
which town is part of
the Apollo 11 mission?
134
00:09:42,312 --> 00:09:44,398
Honeysuckle network, Net Two.
135
00:09:45,357 --> 00:09:47,860
Confirm Parkes is up
and configured.
136
00:09:48,068 --> 00:09:50,237
As Apollo 11's readied
for launch...
137
00:09:50,446 --> 00:09:54,365
NASA is completing fibal checks
on its deep space network:
138
00:09:54,574 --> 00:09:58,453
The vast array of telescopes
and cable links...
139
00:09:58,828 --> 00:10:00,747
including a number
in Australia...
140
00:10:00,913 --> 00:10:04,584
with Apollo 11 on its
historic journey.
141
00:10:04,751 --> 00:10:07,545
The repeaters will send
signals to Sydney.
142
00:10:07,712 --> 00:10:09,547
They strip the TV and
send it to Moree.
143
00:10:09,714 --> 00:10:10,964
Both receivers.
144
00:10:11,173 --> 00:10:12,215
Sorry. Go on.
145
00:10:12,382 --> 00:10:16,595
The rest will go to a demodulator
at Honeysuckle Creek.
146
00:10:16,845 --> 00:10:20,182
Can the telemetry feeds be
sent on separate lines?
147
00:10:20,348 --> 00:10:21,308
Mitch?
148
00:10:21,475 --> 00:10:22,601
Yeah, no problem.
149
00:10:22,768 --> 00:10:24,478
Separate lines.
150
00:10:24,686 --> 00:10:26,104
That's a big book, Al.
151
00:10:28,147 --> 00:10:29,940
- Hold on.
- What is it?
152
00:10:30,149 --> 00:10:32,234
These coordinates have changed.
153
00:10:32,443 --> 00:10:34,779
- You sure?
- This is unacceptable.
154
00:10:35,613 --> 00:10:37,156
Glenn? Come here.
155
00:10:39,033 --> 00:10:39,742
What?
156
00:10:39,950 --> 00:10:42,495
Every coordinate has been changed.
157
00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:43,788
Yeah.
158
00:10:45,206 --> 00:10:46,080
I changed them.
159
00:10:46,331 --> 00:10:47,874
- You what?
- I changed them.
160
00:10:48,041 --> 00:10:49,042
Why?
161
00:10:49,209 --> 00:10:50,293
They were wrong.
162
00:10:50,502 --> 00:10:52,295
- Why were they wrong?
- Don't know.
163
00:10:52,504 --> 00:10:54,422
What about them was wrong?
164
00:10:54,631 --> 00:10:59,219
The figures NASA sent us were
for the Northern Hemisphere.
165
00:11:00,011 --> 00:11:02,514
We're in the Southern Hemisphere.
166
00:11:02,805 --> 00:11:05,891
I can change them, but
you're pointing the wrong...
167
00:11:06,099 --> 00:11:08,936
It might be a good idea
to tell us these things.
168
00:11:09,144 --> 00:11:11,021
I didn't want to worry you.
169
00:11:13,023 --> 00:11:14,233
Cup of tea, Al?
170
00:11:14,650 --> 00:11:17,236
- No, thank you.
- I'll have one!
171
00:11:17,402 --> 00:11:18,487
Thank you, Glenn.
172
00:11:19,655 --> 00:11:23,407
- We must double-check.
- All of NASA's work.
173
00:11:23,616 --> 00:11:26,244
Everyone's work, unless you
have a problem with that.
174
00:11:26,410 --> 00:11:28,079
I don't have a problem with that.
175
00:11:28,246 --> 00:11:29,789
- I got a problem.
- Okay, Mitch.
176
00:11:29,956 --> 00:11:31,582
Let's get on with it.
177
00:11:33,167 --> 00:11:34,961
I'll unstow the Dish.
178
00:11:38,755 --> 00:11:39,923
Hi, Bob!
179
00:11:40,715 --> 00:11:41,716
Bill!
180
00:11:44,803 --> 00:11:45,845
Keith.
181
00:11:47,472 --> 00:11:48,765
Major Mclntyre.
182
00:11:48,974 --> 00:11:51,059
I'm a long time out of uniform.
183
00:11:51,309 --> 00:11:52,894
But you fought a war.
184
00:11:53,103 --> 00:11:55,397
- You'll get your chance.
- I hope so, sir.
185
00:11:57,022 --> 00:11:58,941
- Kid's a cadet.
- Keen.
186
00:11:59,149 --> 00:12:00,985
- Hello, Bob.
- How's it going, Pearl?
187
00:12:01,235 --> 00:12:03,988
Busy as a bee.
The whole town's abuzz.
188
00:12:04,196 --> 00:12:06,365
They'll talk about something
else soon.
189
00:12:06,824 --> 00:12:09,785
I can't say, but we might
be getting a visitor.
190
00:12:09,952 --> 00:12:11,245
The prime minister.
191
00:12:11,453 --> 00:12:13,789
May phoned.
And the American ambassador.
192
00:12:13,956 --> 00:12:16,249
That woman. Can you
keep it under your hat?
193
00:12:16,499 --> 00:12:19,043
- I don't think so.
- Not to worry.
194
00:12:19,294 --> 00:12:21,296
- How are the boys at the Dish?
- Raring to go.
195
00:12:21,504 --> 00:12:24,590
- The American settling in?
- I think so.
196
00:12:24,882 --> 00:12:27,552
Came in yesterday,
wanting pretzels.
197
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:28,720
Pretzels?
198
00:12:31,180 --> 00:12:33,098
Yep, it's a world event.
199
00:12:33,307 --> 00:12:34,516
The prime minister.
200
00:12:34,683 --> 00:12:36,143
Better get a jiggle-on.
201
00:12:36,393 --> 00:12:37,686
- See you later.
- See ya.
202
00:12:38,395 --> 00:12:42,482
The countdown at the Cape
is proceeding to schedule.
203
00:12:42,649 --> 00:12:46,570
Now back to Cape Kennedy and
correspondent Fred Turner.
204
00:12:46,778 --> 00:12:49,947
What impresses me is we've
got excellent weather.
205
00:12:50,156 --> 00:12:52,992
It was predicted we'd
have some overcast...
206
00:12:53,409 --> 00:12:55,995
and now we'll see the launch.
207
00:13:00,708 --> 00:13:02,877
The launch is going ahead tonight.
208
00:13:03,085 --> 00:13:07,213
The ball is Friday night.
Can we get back to...?
209
00:13:07,380 --> 00:13:09,716
Yeah. It got another surge.
210
00:13:19,976 --> 00:13:22,187
I could rumba right now.
211
00:13:22,604 --> 00:13:25,939
- I hope we have slow numbers.
- Yes, Mrs. Spiers.
212
00:13:26,648 --> 00:13:28,525
And a new song.
213
00:13:28,817 --> 00:13:29,735
Who's it by?
214
00:13:30,068 --> 00:13:31,904
James Hendrix.
215
00:13:32,738 --> 00:13:34,615
Let's hear a couple of bars.
216
00:13:49,337 --> 00:13:50,880
There's a slower version.
217
00:13:51,047 --> 00:13:53,758
- That's not to go above three.
- Yes, Mrs. Spiers.
218
00:13:53,966 --> 00:13:56,511
- You learned the American anthem?
- The what?
219
00:13:56,677 --> 00:14:01,056
Are you saying you've not
prepared the American anthem?
220
00:14:01,348 --> 00:14:02,933
How does it go?
221
00:14:03,266 --> 00:14:05,101
You've got 48 hours.
222
00:14:06,311 --> 00:14:10,190
I knew it when he came.
NASA's renting the Dish.
223
00:14:10,398 --> 00:14:13,026
But, how about some respect?
224
00:14:13,193 --> 00:14:17,030
- I wouldn't worry about it.
- We're a professional unit.
225
00:14:17,823 --> 00:14:18,697
You right?
226
00:14:19,156 --> 00:14:20,241
Sorry, mate.
227
00:14:26,789 --> 00:14:28,874
Still not flat enough.
228
00:14:29,041 --> 00:14:30,251
I'll give it a tweak.
229
00:14:30,417 --> 00:14:33,420
Drop it a couple of clicks.
Probably on NASA settings.
230
00:14:36,089 --> 00:14:39,968
We're of the radio physics
department, not mugs at this game.
231
00:14:40,218 --> 00:14:44,180
He asked me if we have
a dress standard.
232
00:14:44,389 --> 00:14:46,224
That's hard to believe.
233
00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:50,395
Wish he'd gone home with the
others. What's his problem?
234
00:14:51,521 --> 00:14:53,355
He's just feeling the pressure.
235
00:14:53,522 --> 00:14:56,608
The pressure.
He's got to learn to relax.
236
00:14:57,192 --> 00:14:59,236
I'll tell you a little secret.
237
00:15:00,404 --> 00:15:01,947
He's not the only one.
238
00:15:03,657 --> 00:15:06,410
We got word from Houston.
It's go for launch.
239
00:15:11,330 --> 00:15:15,501
Now the party can start.
Come on in.
240
00:15:16,002 --> 00:15:18,754
Pick up the phone, and I yell
"Yeah, what?"
241
00:15:19,130 --> 00:15:21,590
- You know who it was?
- The science minister.
242
00:15:21,757 --> 00:15:22,967
Another devil on horseback?
243
00:15:23,217 --> 00:15:25,386
- They've got families.
- It's extraordinary.
244
00:15:25,553 --> 00:15:28,639
- I wouldn't let Don go to the moon.
- I understand.
245
00:15:28,930 --> 00:15:30,890
How do you reckon they
go to the...
246
00:15:31,099 --> 00:15:32,142
up there?
247
00:15:32,350 --> 00:15:34,978
- I suppose they hold on.
- Four days?
248
00:15:35,186 --> 00:15:37,272
- They're expecting the dance.
- It's a ball.
249
00:15:37,522 --> 00:15:39,983
They don't eat meals, just pills.
250
00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:42,235
You can't hold on for 4 days.
251
00:15:42,444 --> 00:15:45,238
One of these would block
them up for a week.
252
00:15:45,488 --> 00:15:47,906
All is still go as we
monitor our status board.
253
00:15:48,407 --> 00:15:49,825
How's it looking?
254
00:15:50,117 --> 00:15:51,994
It's full of liquid hydrogen.
255
00:15:52,202 --> 00:15:55,289
- Can they fix that?
- No, that's go for launch.
256
00:15:55,497 --> 00:15:56,582
Oh, hydrogen.
257
00:15:56,832 --> 00:15:59,335
- About the prime minister.
- He'll be here on Monday.
258
00:15:59,501 --> 00:16:00,919
- Would they lunch?
- In Melbourne.
259
00:16:01,086 --> 00:16:02,379
Man on the moon, eh?
260
00:16:02,546 --> 00:16:04,881
Yep, and we're a part of it, Dad.
261
00:16:05,131 --> 00:16:08,885
But we're slap bang
in the middle of it.
262
00:16:09,385 --> 00:16:11,262
There could be an announcement.
263
00:16:11,429 --> 00:16:13,806
It's not official yet...
264
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:16,309
Bob's got the nomination
for Parkes.
265
00:16:16,476 --> 00:16:18,311
- We're not telling anyone.
- What?
266
00:16:18,478 --> 00:16:20,646
Bob's got the nomination
for Parkes.
267
00:16:21,813 --> 00:16:24,441
Congratulations on
the nomination.
268
00:16:27,861 --> 00:16:29,988
Bob, the nomination, well done.
269
00:16:30,155 --> 00:16:31,239
May!
270
00:16:31,656 --> 00:16:33,700
Dad, they're talking about Parkes.
271
00:16:34,409 --> 00:16:35,243
Crikey!
272
00:16:35,994 --> 00:16:39,789
The signal from the radio
telescope at Parkes...
273
00:16:40,081 --> 00:16:43,918
will come over the postmaster
general's video system.
274
00:16:44,502 --> 00:16:47,129
We building a new
antenna in Australia.
275
00:16:47,296 --> 00:16:49,048
- Who's that?
- Wilson Hunter.
276
00:16:49,256 --> 00:16:51,217
Bigwig from NASA.
277
00:16:51,383 --> 00:16:54,845
Dad looked after him. He's
the scientific representative.
278
00:16:55,012 --> 00:16:56,931
That's what it's all about.
279
00:16:57,096 --> 00:16:58,890
Sucking up the bigwigs.
280
00:16:59,098 --> 00:17:00,391
No, that's not it.
281
00:17:00,850 --> 00:17:05,104
All indications to the control
center indicate we are go.
282
00:17:05,730 --> 00:17:09,025
Our board indicates the
third stage pressurized.
283
00:17:10,109 --> 00:17:13,363
Tminus 60 and counting.
The passed Tminus 60.

285
00:17:17,366 --> 00:17:19,701
All still go at this time.
286
00:17:20,035 --> 00:17:22,496
Neil Armstrong replied
when receiving good wishes:
287
00:17:22,704 --> 00:17:25,457
''Thank you. We know it
will be a good flight.
288
00:17:25,666 --> 00:17:27,668
Good luck and Godspeed.
289
00:17:27,918 --> 00:17:31,839

approaching the western
shore of Australia.
315
00:19:03,049 --> 00:19:04,425
As you perhaps know....
316
00:19:05,259 --> 00:19:09,305
the crew will make one and
1/2 revolutions of the Earth.
317
00:19:12,641 --> 00:19:17,063
The Apollo 11 has had a perfect
launch on itsjourney.
318

00:20:23,083 --> 00:20:25,794
Visitor entering compound.
Awaiting identification.
323
00:20:26,086 --> 00:20:27,754
You're being stupid, Rudi.
324
00:20:27,963 --> 00:20:30,005
- Visitor offering resistance.
- You've got a gun.
325
00:20:30,172 --> 00:20:33,133
Official NASA requirement.
Armed security.
326
00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:34,760
Does Mum know?
327
00:20:35,052 --> 00:20:37,721
No, and don't tell her.
She'll come and take it.
328
00:20:37,930 --> 00:20:40,933
- This is getting cold.
- I've got to sign you in.

00:20:52,026 --> 00:20:54,696
If it isn't the most
beautiful girl in Parkes!
333
00:20:54,904 --> 00:20:56,906

- Thank you, Janine.
334
00:20:57,073 --> 00:20:58,491
Morning, Mitch.
335
00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:01,119

I put extra cheese in yours.
337
00:21:03,246 --> 00:21:05,205
- Thanks, Janine.
- You tiger.
338
00:21:05,372 --> 00:21:08,667
- How's Mum?
- Getting ready for the ball.
339
00:21:08,917 --> 00:21:11,169
The whole town's over the moon.
340
00:21:13,005 --> 00:21:16,383
It's so exciting.
The ambassador arrives tomorrow.
341
00:21:16,675 --> 00:21:18,218
Over the moon.
342
00:21:18,552 --> 00:21:21,805
The prime minister on Monday.
On the news they showed Parkes.
343
00:21:22,055 --> 00:21:24,432
- They saw the Dish?
- Everyone's proud.
344
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,644
PKS, Houston Flight Control.
GNC awaiting downlink.
345
00:21:30,771 --> 00:21:32,773
PKS. Roger, Houston.
346
00:21:33,649 --> 00:21:35,526
Was that Armstrong?
347
00:21:35,693 --> 00:21:37,486
No, we're not on-line now.
348
00:21:37,653 --> 00:21:38,738
Sorry?
349
00:21:38,946 --> 00:21:42,157
There's two tracking stations,
us and Goldstone.
350
00:21:42,365 --> 00:21:44,492
- Goldstone?
- California.
351
00:21:44,784 --> 00:21:47,621
If the moon's on our side of
the world, Parkes is on-line.
352
00:21:47,871 --> 00:21:50,457
If it's on the other,
it's Goldstone.
353
00:21:50,624 --> 00:21:51,833
Right, but...
354
00:21:52,834 --> 00:21:54,836
Explain it, Glenn.
355
00:22:04,970 --> 00:22:07,222
Imagine the Earth
is a basketball.
356
00:22:07,431 --> 00:22:09,892
- This'll be good.
- And on top is a...
357
00:22:11,393 --> 00:22:12,936
What do you put the pump into?
358
00:22:13,187 --> 00:22:15,688
- The hole.
- But it's got a name.
359
00:22:16,064 --> 00:22:18,524
The valve.
Say the valve's Goldstone.
360
00:22:18,691 --> 00:22:22,320
- On the other side, another valve.
- Only have one.
361
00:22:22,570 --> 00:22:24,113
What has two valves?
362
00:22:24,364 --> 00:22:25,615
- Tuba?
- It must be round.
363
00:22:25,782 --> 00:22:27,283
- Tambourine.
- That has no valves.
364
00:22:27,533 --> 00:22:28,451
Coconut.
365
00:22:28,659 --> 00:22:31,037
Let's just say the
basketball's got two valves.
366
00:22:31,287 --> 00:22:34,623
When the Goldstone can't see
Apollo 11, Parkes can.
367
00:22:34,790 --> 00:22:36,958
- That's it.
- Good work, Glenn.
368
00:22:37,417 --> 00:22:39,628
How do you know where
Apollo 11 is?
369
00:22:40,045 --> 00:22:41,338
Computer.
370
00:22:42,255 --> 00:22:44,966
In seconds, it does what used to
tame me hours with a slide rule.
371
00:22:45,175 --> 00:22:46,009
And a basketball.
372
00:22:46,343 --> 00:22:48,386
Does the computer move the Dish?
373
00:22:48,637 --> 00:22:51,847
- Mitch does that...
- We have to get back to work.
374
00:22:52,098 --> 00:22:54,433
Thanks for the refreshments.
375
00:22:55,351 --> 00:22:56,477
It was a pleasure.
376
00:22:58,354 --> 00:23:00,606
- Thanks, Janine.
- See you, love.
377
00:23:05,444 --> 00:23:06,821
She's a lovely girl.
378
00:23:07,113 --> 00:23:10,198
Yeah. Not much of a driver though.
379
00:23:12,575 --> 00:23:14,327
You must ask her out.
380
00:23:14,536 --> 00:23:17,705
Ask Janine out?
I don't know, Cliff.
381
00:23:17,956 --> 00:23:21,167
At the cricket club everyone
wants to talk to her.
382
00:23:21,376 --> 00:23:25,421
Gary Kenny's always calling.
They may be dating.
383
00:23:27,214 --> 00:23:28,507
Do you reckon?
384
00:23:29,591 --> 00:23:30,759
Yeah, I reckon.
385
00:23:31,093 --> 00:23:32,719
What if she said no?
386
00:23:33,846 --> 00:23:36,390
Sometimes you got to take a risk.
387
00:23:43,772 --> 00:23:48,150
Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins
started 19 hours ago.
388
00:23:48,568 --> 00:23:49,986
Where are they now?
389
00:23:50,194 --> 00:23:54,323
The astronauts are
93,250 miles from Earth.
390
00:23:54,532 --> 00:23:57,785
The moon is 146,750 miles ahead.
391
00:23:58,911 --> 00:24:03,373
Looking on this scale, which
is not drawn to scale...
392
00:24:04,165 --> 00:24:06,543
Pity they don't mention
who got the Dish here.
393
00:24:06,710 --> 00:24:09,337
- Come on, love.
- You've never got due credit.
394
00:24:09,546 --> 00:24:11,214
I've done all right, Maysie.
395
00:24:11,506 --> 00:24:14,509
Don't call me Maysie in
front of the ambassador.
396
00:24:14,718 --> 00:24:18,430
What do I care if some bigwig
yank sees I love my wife.
397
00:24:18,597 --> 00:24:21,307
The blue or the lemon?
398
00:24:22,016 --> 00:24:24,059
- The yellow.
- Lemon.
399
00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:27,021
Maysie, give us a kiss.
400
00:24:27,187 --> 00:24:29,732
- What did ljust say?
- No idea.
401
00:24:30,399 --> 00:24:34,069
If you get into Parliament,
will you abolish the draft?
402
00:24:34,278 --> 00:24:35,779
Anything for you, sweetheart.
403
00:24:35,946 --> 00:24:38,114
Dad, it's a political issue.
404
00:24:39,365 --> 00:24:40,783
Leave it with me.
405
00:24:43,870 --> 00:24:47,165
I don't want you and Mitch to
think I'm holding on too tight.
406
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,004
You've got a lot on your plate.
407
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,507
Now the teams have gone
back, I'm responsible.
408
00:24:59,051 --> 00:25:01,261
Am I holding on too tight?
409
00:25:02,054 --> 00:25:03,764
Well, you know...
410
00:25:05,182 --> 00:25:07,100
There's a lot at stake, Al.
411
00:25:07,392 --> 00:25:10,020
There's no guarantees,
a lot of variables.
412
00:25:12,730 --> 00:25:13,939
We'll be right.
413
00:26:13,871 --> 00:26:15,498
Zenith. 55.
414
00:26:15,957 --> 00:26:18,376
56, 57, 58...
415
00:26:19,168 --> 00:26:21,379
59, 60, 6001.
416
00:26:21,629 --> 00:26:23,213
Hold it there.
417
00:26:28,468 --> 00:26:29,511
Nothing.
418
00:26:31,346 --> 00:26:32,347
HGA?
419
00:26:32,931 --> 00:26:34,182
Pre-limit.
420
00:26:35,267 --> 00:26:36,601
Run APP prime.
421
00:26:36,810 --> 00:26:38,854
Antenna pointing
processor running.
422
00:26:39,229 --> 00:26:40,564
We got a signal.
423
00:26:40,856 --> 00:26:41,939
Weak.
424
00:26:42,356 --> 00:26:43,274
Peak it up.
425
00:26:43,566 --> 00:26:46,443
Azimuth 8522, 24, 26.
426
00:26:47,236 --> 00:26:49,405
- 28.
- It's up.
427
00:26:49,738 --> 00:26:50,990
90 DBM.
428
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,491
Solid.
429
00:26:53,409 --> 00:26:55,703
- Hello, Apollo.
- Switch to M.E.
430
00:26:55,911 --> 00:26:58,621
- Equatorial control locked on.
- Variable rate?
431
00:26:58,788 --> 00:26:59,956
2.5.
432
00:27:00,623 --> 00:27:01,708
Set...
433
00:27:02,750 --> 00:27:04,168
and holding.
434
00:27:04,419 --> 00:27:06,838
Acquisition of signal.
We are go for command.
435
00:27:07,797 --> 00:27:09,340
PKS, Houston, NC.
436
00:27:09,549 --> 00:27:12,218
Houston Network Control.
Go ahead, Parkes.
437
00:27:12,385 --> 00:27:14,012
Standing by for handover.
438
00:27:14,178 --> 00:27:18,223
Copy that, Parkes. All stations,
Net 2, switching to PKS.
439
00:27:21,393 --> 00:27:23,145
Who's for a cup of tea?
440
00:27:23,353 --> 00:27:24,438
Manual.
441
00:27:25,647 --> 00:27:29,610
Good read-back and would
like a crew status report
442
00:27:33,363 --> 00:27:35,698
Battery charging is complete....
443
00:27:35,907 --> 00:27:38,534
and crew status report
is as follows:
444
00:27:39,201 --> 00:27:42,914
PDR, VMP, LMP,
negative medication.
445
00:27:43,873 --> 00:27:45,291
Fit as a fiddle. Over.
446
00:27:46,542 --> 00:27:49,003
Copy, 11. Thank you.
447
00:28:01,806 --> 00:28:04,559
We're all concerned that
they'll be able to rest.
448
00:28:04,768 --> 00:28:07,228
We're sure how to land man
on the moon.
449
00:28:07,437 --> 00:28:10,522
... following the Apollo 11
mission intensely.
450
00:28:16,528 --> 00:28:18,113
Go ahead, Houston.
451
00:28:18,572 --> 00:28:21,033
Can we have a CSM switch
to high bit rate, please?
452
00:28:21,450 --> 00:28:23,035
1-3-0.
453
00:28:23,202 --> 00:28:26,872
Roger. Signal strength is
negative 1-3-0.
454
00:28:27,121 --> 00:28:28,331
Solid lock on prime.
455
00:28:28,539 --> 00:28:29,874
Stand by for UDB.
456
00:28:30,500 --> 00:28:33,336
Data buffer standing by.
457
00:28:34,420 --> 00:28:38,466
- What was that?
- A CSM switch. Not to worry.
458
00:28:39,258 --> 00:28:42,095
- Won't be long.
- Take your time.
459
00:28:42,261 --> 00:28:43,721
Can you run a verification...
460
00:28:43,971 --> 00:28:46,223
of projected plot points?
461
00:28:46,390 --> 00:28:48,183
- Done it.
- But not with adjusted bearings.
462
00:28:54,898 --> 00:28:57,359
Oh, well, I stand corrected.
463
00:28:58,193 --> 00:28:59,611
No, you're wrong!
464
00:29:01,822 --> 00:29:03,155
You got a problem?
465
00:29:03,489 --> 00:29:04,323
Yeah.
466
00:29:05,741 --> 00:29:08,244
You treat us like a
pack of galahs.
467
00:29:10,162 --> 00:29:11,539
That's a kind of parrot.
468
00:29:12,665 --> 00:29:16,210
Just because I don't wear a tie
and bury my head in a manual...
469
00:29:16,377 --> 00:29:18,295
doesn't mean I'm a drongo.
470
00:29:18,462 --> 00:29:21,005
- That's a hopeless...
- I get the idea.
471
00:29:21,256 --> 00:29:23,967
I've got complete respect
for your capabilities.
472
00:29:25,969 --> 00:29:27,554
I'd appreciate the same
in return.
473
00:29:30,432 --> 00:29:33,560
- It's time to get along.
- Let me know if...
474
00:29:33,852 --> 00:29:35,353
Don't worry.
475
00:29:36,646 --> 00:29:38,397
Hi, Mr. Burnett.
476
00:29:39,148 --> 00:29:41,942
Guys, I've been calling you.
477
00:29:42,609 --> 00:29:44,862
It's been switched off again.
478
00:29:46,363 --> 00:29:48,740
Testing, one, two...
479
00:29:50,033 --> 00:29:51,702
What are we calling about?
480
00:29:52,619 --> 00:29:53,745
What's that?
481
00:29:54,788 --> 00:29:56,831
What are we calling about?
482
00:29:57,123 --> 00:29:58,541
Oh, it's just the...
483
00:29:59,792 --> 00:30:01,586
Routine call?
484
00:30:01,794 --> 00:30:05,214
Yeah, Mr. Buxton,
it was the routine call.
485
00:30:05,965 --> 00:30:07,800
I'd better get back to my post.
486
00:30:08,009 --> 00:30:09,343
Are we all right here?
487
00:30:09,510 --> 00:30:12,847
That's why I was calling.
Acamera crew's downstairs...
488
00:30:13,014 --> 00:30:14,931
and entry's been authorized.
489
00:30:19,352 --> 00:30:22,063
The ambassador's taking his time.
490
00:30:22,272 --> 00:30:24,274
Must still be at the motel.
491
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:26,359
You organize that fruit platter?
492
00:30:26,526 --> 00:30:27,611
Yep. Nice big one.
493
00:30:27,819 --> 00:30:29,946
- Major Mclntyre.
- Keith.
494
00:30:30,113 --> 00:30:31,071
Is Marie here?
495
00:30:31,238 --> 00:30:34,491
No. The ambassador's a
cultural imperialist.
496
00:30:34,658 --> 00:30:35,993
She's gone in.
497
00:30:36,201 --> 00:30:38,078
- Be careful, son.
- Yes, sir.
498
00:30:38,370 --> 00:30:40,080
Boy's about to get a taste of war.
499
00:30:40,915 --> 00:30:44,460
Soon we'll be watching TV
pictures from the moon.
500
00:30:44,627 --> 00:30:48,380
Could you explain how these
pictures will be received?
501
00:30:48,630 --> 00:30:50,131
Got a basketball?
502
00:30:50,632 --> 00:30:53,217
When Armstrong emerges from
the lunar landing module...
503
00:30:53,384 --> 00:30:55,345
he'll activate a small
camera here...
504
00:30:55,511 --> 00:30:58,348
which will capture pictures of
him descending the ladder...
505
00:30:58,556 --> 00:31:00,642
and walking on the moon.
506
00:31:01,434 --> 00:31:04,646
- How will they return to Earth?
- Carrier pigeon.
507
00:31:04,812 --> 00:31:08,982
A small transmitter will send
the images back to us.
508
00:31:10,108 --> 00:31:12,778
It's amazing technology.
509
00:31:12,945 --> 00:31:14,154
Will the entire...?
510
00:31:14,821 --> 00:31:16,031
Carrier pigeon.
511
00:31:18,450 --> 00:31:20,077
We'll have to go again.
512
00:31:20,577 --> 00:31:21,953
The ambassador of the U.S.A.
513
00:31:22,746 --> 00:31:26,916
- Got a lump in my throat.
- Stop eating those party pies.
514
00:31:29,418 --> 00:31:33,381
You're right, Len. It's
a big day for Parkes.
515
00:31:33,964 --> 00:31:35,466
It's a vindication.
516
00:31:36,092 --> 00:31:37,176
They're here.
517
00:31:37,885 --> 00:31:39,929
What do we call him,
Your Excellency?
518
00:31:40,137 --> 00:31:41,721
He's not bloody royalty.
519
00:31:41,888 --> 00:31:45,975
It's important. We're his
first impression of Parkes.
520
00:31:51,815 --> 00:31:55,485
On behalf of the people of
Parkes, we welcome you.
521
00:31:55,652 --> 00:31:58,238
Thank you, Bob.
I can call you Bob?
522
00:31:58,446 --> 00:32:01,281
- Absolutely, Mr. Ambassador.
- Howard.
523
00:32:01,949 --> 00:32:03,575
- And this is...?
- Len.
524
00:32:03,742 --> 00:32:04,785
Good day.
525
00:32:04,993 --> 00:32:07,329
My wife, May. She's the lemon.
526
00:32:07,913 --> 00:32:10,916
Apollo 11, Houston,
accept the minute 49.
527
00:32:11,208 --> 00:32:13,502
Continue your sequence...
528
00:32:13,752 --> 00:32:16,755
and we'll analyze
the data afterwards.
529
00:32:32,645 --> 00:32:34,188
Time for a cup of tea?
530
00:32:38,608 --> 00:32:41,069
I haven't been treated like this
since I was striping harvesters.
531
00:32:41,319 --> 00:32:45,574
He's a know-it-all who thinks
only Americans work properly.
532
00:32:46,199 --> 00:32:48,243
Aren't you being unfair?
533
00:32:48,410 --> 00:32:50,996
What's happened to you in
the last couple of years?
534
00:32:53,372 --> 00:32:55,833
I'm sorry. That came out wrong.
535
00:32:56,542 --> 00:33:01,088
This was always your dish. You'd
never let anyone else run it.
536
00:33:01,380 --> 00:33:02,923
We're part of a team.
537
00:33:03,174 --> 00:33:04,550
We're part of NASA.
538
00:33:04,842 --> 00:33:05,968
And what's NASA?
539
00:33:06,260 --> 00:33:09,263
Money, equipment, and
everything you ever needed.
540
00:33:09,430 --> 00:33:10,346
No, Mitch.
541
00:33:10,930 --> 00:33:12,724
NASA'sjust a bigger bunch of us.
542
00:33:13,433 --> 00:33:16,144
- You considered this attempt?
- Of course.
543
00:33:16,311 --> 00:33:19,397
We're in the middle of the
greatest feat ever attempted.
544
00:33:19,564 --> 00:33:22,609
This is science's chance
to be daring.
545
00:33:22,901 --> 00:33:23,735
What are you doing?
546
00:33:25,278 --> 00:33:27,322
Standing around, bitching.
547
00:33:29,948 --> 00:33:30,949
Rudi.
548
00:33:31,533 --> 00:33:32,659
Fellas.
549
00:33:32,910 --> 00:33:34,828
Janine brought food
from the dance.
550
00:33:35,078 --> 00:33:36,079
Lovely.
551
00:33:36,288 --> 00:33:39,499
Then her and Glenn are
down there alone?
552
00:33:39,708 --> 00:33:44,296
Yeah. If you guys have noticed,
Janine really likes Glenn.
553
00:33:44,546 --> 00:33:45,671
Is that right?
554
00:33:46,255 --> 00:33:48,925
Rudi, what's with the gun?
555
00:33:49,342 --> 00:33:51,928
It's official NASA installation.
556
00:33:53,387 --> 00:33:56,057
We may need it.
I've tasted it.
557
00:33:56,307 --> 00:33:58,059
- What?
- The food.
558
00:33:58,267 --> 00:34:01,520
Could've been tampered.
We can't take chances.
559
00:34:02,730 --> 00:34:06,566
- You want a couple more?
- Thanks. I'm still starving.
560
00:34:08,234 --> 00:34:09,903
Leaving Sector A.
561
00:34:10,111 --> 00:34:12,822
I thought the foyer
was Sector A.
562
00:34:13,865 --> 00:34:15,158
Yeah, it was.
563
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:20,121
I've decided to go
alphabetically from top down.
564
00:34:20,955 --> 00:34:22,498
That's not locked in yet.
565
00:34:27,544 --> 00:34:29,046
This whole thing...
566
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,757
I can't believe I'm a part of it.
567
00:34:34,551 --> 00:34:36,303
I certainly can't believe
Rudi's a part of it.
568
00:34:38,930 --> 00:34:40,056
Me too.
569
00:34:43,476 --> 00:34:45,311
Helen would've been proud.
570
00:35:06,998 --> 00:35:09,668
Ladies and gentlemen,
distinguished guests...
571
00:35:09,835 --> 00:35:11,420
please remain upstanding...
572
00:35:11,586 --> 00:35:15,297
for the national anthem
of the United States.
573
00:35:29,937 --> 00:35:31,480
That's not the anthem.
574
00:35:40,238 --> 00:35:43,116
PKS, Houston. Confirm
handover at 17:00 hours.
575
00:35:43,324 --> 00:35:45,410
Roger, PKS. Copy 17:00.
576
00:35:45,869 --> 00:35:47,745
PKS out.
577
00:35:52,958 --> 00:35:54,710
Where'd you get the chocolate?
578
00:35:56,420 --> 00:35:57,588
Janine.
579
00:36:03,427 --> 00:36:05,637
I will, Cliff. I promise.
580
00:36:09,140 --> 00:36:11,976
Everyone wanted to come
but can't find the car keys.
581
00:36:13,728 --> 00:36:18,107
- About to call a cab and...
- The keys hanging on the door.
582
00:36:18,274 --> 00:36:20,276
Why don't we all have a dance?
583
00:36:20,484 --> 00:36:21,527
Why don't we.
584
00:36:21,986 --> 00:36:24,696
Keys were hanging out
the door, Howard.
585
00:36:29,910 --> 00:36:32,412
- Not too racy?
- Oh, no.
586
00:36:33,455 --> 00:36:34,456
Marie.
587
00:36:35,665 --> 00:36:38,251
- What?
- Would you like to dance?
588
00:36:38,793 --> 00:36:40,378
Are you stupid?
589
00:36:40,670 --> 00:36:41,671
No.
590
00:36:42,214 --> 00:36:43,422
Would you?
591
00:36:50,596 --> 00:36:52,139
I wouldn't be in the way?
592
00:36:52,348 --> 00:36:54,350
We'd be honored to have you visit.
593
00:36:55,392 --> 00:36:57,186
Sorry about the mix-up earlier.
594
00:36:57,353 --> 00:37:01,731
No harm done, Bob. Sometimes I
wish it was our national anthem.
595
00:37:02,857 --> 00:37:05,526
Oh, beauty.
You'll love this bloke.
596
00:37:05,693 --> 00:37:09,697
Fly me to the moon, let me
swing among the stars.
597
00:37:11,157 --> 00:37:13,618
- He's from Brisbane.
- Really?
598
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,162
He's a little like Frank Sinatra.
599
00:37:16,371 --> 00:37:17,829
If not better.
600
00:37:18,038 --> 00:37:21,291
In other words, take my hand.
601
00:37:28,423 --> 00:37:30,634
Who's playing funny buggers?
602
00:37:31,635 --> 00:37:32,886
Shit.
603
00:37:36,013 --> 00:37:40,101
- Sorting it out.
- Not the pie warmer again?
604
00:37:45,106 --> 00:37:46,941
- What happened?
- A blackout.
605
00:37:47,108 --> 00:37:48,567
Control panel's dead.
606
00:37:48,818 --> 00:37:51,487
Have it fixed in a jiffy.
607
00:37:51,737 --> 00:37:53,655
- Receivers?
- Negative.
608
00:37:53,989 --> 00:37:55,573
- Demodulators?
- No.
609
00:37:55,824 --> 00:37:57,867
Whole rack's dead.
610
00:37:58,660 --> 00:37:59,828
Bloody hell.
611
00:37:59,994 --> 00:38:01,830
How about the backup generator?
612
00:38:02,664 --> 00:38:03,873
Shit.
613
00:38:12,589 --> 00:38:14,591
Sorry about that Howard.
614
00:38:15,300 --> 00:38:19,847
No trouble, as long as everything
is fine at the installation.
615
00:38:20,013 --> 00:38:24,184
They have all that under control.
Backup generators, the works.
616
00:38:24,393 --> 00:38:26,228
Still, I'll check with Al.
617
00:38:27,396 --> 00:38:28,604
Where's Al?
618
00:38:39,657 --> 00:38:41,033
Anything?
619
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,326
Nothing.
620
00:38:43,161 --> 00:38:44,954
And we've lost lock.
621
00:38:49,249 --> 00:38:51,543
What happened to the generator?
622
00:38:52,586 --> 00:38:53,879
The fuel pump.
623
00:38:54,504 --> 00:38:58,133
- What about it?
- When I drained it...
624
00:38:58,383 --> 00:39:00,093
I forgot to prime the lines.
625
00:39:00,302 --> 00:39:03,805
You forgot? Jesus!
How could you do that?
626
00:39:04,013 --> 00:39:06,515
- This is what happens...
- Don't you dare!
627
00:39:08,809 --> 00:39:10,311
All right.
628
00:39:11,187 --> 00:39:13,105
We must find that ship.
629
00:39:13,314 --> 00:39:15,900
Switch to manual drive.
Get a lock.
630
00:39:17,443 --> 00:39:19,028
What's its position?
631
00:39:20,404 --> 00:39:21,654
Come on.
632
00:39:21,821 --> 00:39:23,823
I think the computer's wiped.
633
00:39:24,073 --> 00:39:25,074
Shit.
634
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,370
- Are we stuffed?
- Kinda.
635
00:39:29,829 --> 00:39:31,664
Yep, we're stuffed.
636
00:39:33,917 --> 00:39:35,502
What's that noise?
637
00:39:36,836 --> 00:39:38,546
- It's moving.
- How?
638
00:39:38,796 --> 00:39:41,006
- M.E.'s chasing its own tail.
- Shut it down.
639
00:39:41,215 --> 00:39:43,300
We'll have to override...
640
00:39:48,847 --> 00:39:50,349
How far did it move?
641
00:39:51,225 --> 00:39:52,351
Far enough.
642
00:39:52,935 --> 00:39:54,102
Are we sending anything?
643
00:39:57,813 --> 00:40:00,274
Sydney, this is Flight Control.
644
00:40:00,733 --> 00:40:02,693
Are you receiving a
signal from Parkes?
645
00:40:03,694 --> 00:40:04,987
Negative, Houston.
646
00:40:06,322 --> 00:40:09,075
PKS, Flight Control here.
Do you copy?
647
00:40:13,204 --> 00:40:15,747
Flight Control, this is Parkes.
We copy.
648
00:40:16,081 --> 00:40:19,334
Parkes, we'vee lost your
signal. Confirm status.
649
00:40:21,044 --> 00:40:25,715
Houston, Parkes here. We
still have a strong signal.
650
00:40:26,508 --> 00:40:28,551
Must be a relay problem.
651
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,013
Copy, Parkes. We'll look
into it. Stand by.
652
00:40:32,471 --> 00:40:34,139
Parkes standing by.
653
00:40:36,850 --> 00:40:40,980
That's bullshit.
You bullshitted NASA.
654
00:40:41,438 --> 00:40:42,731
That's not good.
655
00:40:45,943 --> 00:40:47,861
I bought us some time.
656
00:40:48,237 --> 00:40:49,446
Let me get that straight.
657
00:40:49,697 --> 00:40:51,698
You've lost Apollo 11.
658
00:40:51,864 --> 00:40:52,824
Yeah.
659
00:40:53,074 --> 00:40:55,326
Southern Hemisphere's prime
receiving station...
660
00:40:55,535 --> 00:40:57,996
has no idea where Apollo 11 is?
661
00:40:58,287 --> 00:41:00,331
On it's way to the moon.
662
00:41:00,581 --> 00:41:02,208
Computer can't lock us back on?
663
00:41:02,417 --> 00:41:04,085
No. If it loses power,
it loses data.
664
00:41:04,252 --> 00:41:06,254
I thought we had an
uninterruptable power source.
665
00:41:06,421 --> 00:41:10,716
It was, but you see, the
generator didn't kick back.
666
00:41:11,216 --> 00:41:12,009
How come?
667
00:41:12,843 --> 00:41:14,970
Ltjust didn't, that's all.
668
00:41:15,554 --> 00:41:19,474
- Power's on. It's under control.
- Except we've lost Apollo 11.
669
00:41:19,683 --> 00:41:20,600
Except for that.
670
00:41:20,809 --> 00:41:23,645
We still have the data.
It must be programmed back in.
671
00:41:23,854 --> 00:41:25,563
How long will that take?
672
00:41:26,355 --> 00:41:29,567
Hours? A day? Months?
How long, Glenn?
673
00:41:29,775 --> 00:41:30,776
Take a shot.
674
00:41:31,235 --> 00:41:34,113
12... 24 hours?
It's a lot of calculations.
675
00:41:34,321 --> 00:41:37,742
We're not relaying data.
Houston would've noticed.
676
00:41:37,908 --> 00:41:39,910
Well, they did call.
677
00:41:40,286 --> 00:41:41,495
What'd you tell them.
678
00:41:41,662 --> 00:41:42,872
I told them that...
679
00:41:43,747 --> 00:41:45,707
the problem wasn't at our end.
680
00:41:46,624 --> 00:41:48,710
- You lied?
- Bullshitted them.
681
00:41:49,043 --> 00:41:51,629
- We have to tell them.
- That we stuffed it?
682
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,216
Like they stuffed the Southern
Hemisphere coordinates.
683
00:41:55,425 --> 00:41:59,387
- Call for a current position.
- They say we're not required.
684
00:41:59,596 --> 00:42:00,472
Excuse me?
685
00:42:00,722 --> 00:42:03,265
We're dickheads who can't
maintain a signal.
686
00:42:03,474 --> 00:42:05,601
- Cliff, NASAwill...
- Listen, Al.
687
00:42:05,851 --> 00:42:07,561
We can reprogram the system.
688
00:42:07,728 --> 00:42:10,731
Just keen NASA off our
backs for a while.
689
00:42:10,898 --> 00:42:14,234
I am NASAand I say
we tell them now.
690
00:42:14,401 --> 00:42:16,320
PKS, Houston N.C.
691
00:42:24,744 --> 00:42:26,078
Go ahead, Houston.
692
00:42:26,287 --> 00:42:29,540
Spoken to INCO. No closer
to finding this breakdown.
693
00:42:29,707 --> 00:42:31,792
Are you sure it's downstream?
694
00:42:34,712 --> 00:42:35,963
PKS...
695
00:42:39,007 --> 00:42:43,178
it's still on-line. Confirming
loss of signal downstream.
696
00:42:44,137 --> 00:42:46,723
Roger. We'll maintain
alternative feed.
697
00:42:47,724 --> 00:42:48,642
What have I done?
698
00:42:49,309 --> 00:42:51,728
- You bullshitted NASA.
- Good man, Al.
699
00:42:52,521 --> 00:42:53,855
Let's get cracking.
700
00:42:57,441 --> 00:43:01,237
I've never been more proud
of being mayor of Parkes.
701
00:43:01,987 --> 00:43:05,783
Plus, I went home with the
prettiest girl at the dance.
702
00:43:09,620 --> 00:43:11,829
- You look great in yellow.
- Lemon.
703
00:43:11,996 --> 00:43:12,956
Lemon.
704
00:43:17,961 --> 00:43:19,128
Who's that?
705
00:43:19,379 --> 00:43:20,421
Crikey!
706
00:43:20,630 --> 00:43:24,008
Press will come and
won't be mugs.
707
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:26,761
All right...
708
00:43:28,096 --> 00:43:30,889
what if you come clean?
Just tell NASA.
709
00:43:31,139 --> 00:43:33,225
- Tell them what?
- That...
710
00:43:33,517 --> 00:43:35,018
we lost Apollo 11.
711
00:43:35,269 --> 00:43:37,771
- I wouldn't say that first.
- What would you say?
712
00:43:38,021 --> 00:43:41,275
"You'll never guess
what happened."
713
00:43:41,525 --> 00:43:43,026
Bob, it's Apollo 11.
714
00:43:47,363 --> 00:43:48,781
What would they do?
715
00:43:49,115 --> 00:43:51,826
- I'm not sure.
- Pull the pin?
716
00:43:52,076 --> 00:43:56,414
Not officially, but
they'd downgrade our role.
717
00:43:56,664 --> 00:43:58,624
We'd lose the moonwalk.
718
00:44:01,252 --> 00:44:05,046
Keep a lid on that.
This will be a joke.
719
00:44:06,798 --> 00:44:08,508
Who goes there?
720
00:44:09,092 --> 00:44:10,885
It's just us, Rudi.
721
00:44:11,136 --> 00:44:12,679
Oh, okay.
722
00:44:15,140 --> 00:44:16,474
Who?
723
00:44:17,058 --> 00:44:18,643
Cliff and Bob!
724
00:44:19,227 --> 00:44:20,562
Oh, hi, Bob.
725
00:44:20,770 --> 00:44:21,521
Rudi!
726
00:44:21,688 --> 00:44:23,230
How are you?
727
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:24,940
Good. Fine.
728
00:44:25,107 --> 00:44:26,525
Nighty-night.
729
00:44:26,692 --> 00:44:29,028
We know when they reappear,
but not where.
730
00:44:29,194 --> 00:44:31,405
- Same place as yesterday.
- They were orbiting.
731
00:44:31,572 --> 00:44:35,284
Now they're translunar. We'll
have to redo every angle.
732
00:44:35,451 --> 00:44:36,827
That'll take forever.
733
00:44:36,994 --> 00:44:40,747
You can get an approximate
fix, and then scan.
734
00:44:40,913 --> 00:44:42,415
That should do it.
735
00:44:43,041 --> 00:44:45,251
I'll give you a hand
with the figures.
736
00:44:47,295 --> 00:44:49,464
- I know about the generator.
- What?
737
00:44:50,047 --> 00:44:52,091
I forgot to prime the fuel lines.
738
00:44:54,802 --> 00:44:56,012
Well...
739
00:44:57,221 --> 00:45:00,307
those things happen.
Let's get to work.
740
00:45:03,393 --> 00:45:06,104
If we come on stream tomorrow,
it never happened.
741
00:45:06,271 --> 00:45:07,773
You think you can do it?
742
00:45:08,482 --> 00:45:10,442
I made a commitment to NASA...
743
00:45:10,692 --> 00:45:12,486
and I intent to fulfill it.
744
00:45:13,779 --> 00:45:15,863
No tone for a while.
745
00:45:16,071 --> 00:45:20,451
Remember trying to sort out
that contract with NASA?
746
00:45:20,868 --> 00:45:22,703
"What about this or that?"
747
00:45:22,953 --> 00:45:24,955
2 hours, and you finally speak.
748
00:45:25,164 --> 00:45:27,750
"Gentlemen, this should be
the contract:
749
00:45:28,042 --> 00:45:30,795
We agree to support
the Apollo 11 mission."
750
00:45:30,961 --> 00:45:34,631
Just one sentence.
It was wonderful, man.
751
00:45:35,298 --> 00:45:36,674
But this isn't.
752
00:45:37,342 --> 00:45:39,469
This is a shithouse moment.
753
00:45:41,721 --> 00:45:43,264
Halt. Who goes there?
754
00:46:41,069 --> 00:46:42,487
I'm not sure.
755
00:46:42,779 --> 00:46:45,948
- You said you were confident.
- I am. I was.
756
00:46:47,574 --> 00:46:50,369
It's got to be in this range.
757
00:46:50,703 --> 00:46:54,373
If we sweep here, it may be
outside and we'll miss it.
758
00:46:54,581 --> 00:46:57,543
If we sweep wider, we
still might miss it.
759
00:46:57,710 --> 00:46:59,628
You confident about that?
760
00:46:59,878 --> 00:47:03,965
They're in the service module.
The rockets aren't on.
761
00:47:04,382 --> 00:47:07,176
- They just sit and wait.
- Is that right?
762
00:47:07,343 --> 00:47:10,596
- The fastest man has traveled.
- Go on.
763
00:47:10,763 --> 00:47:13,975
It's the most chauvinistic
exercise ever.
764
00:47:14,142 --> 00:47:16,728
That's why nobody asks you.
765
00:47:18,563 --> 00:47:20,105
Here you go.
766
00:47:20,272 --> 00:47:22,774
- I'll get my Saturn V rocket.
- Yeah, go get it.
767
00:47:22,941 --> 00:47:24,151
Thanks, love.
768
00:47:25,736 --> 00:47:27,821
Is everything all right
at the Dish?
769
00:47:28,613 --> 00:47:31,616
- Can you keep a secret?
- No.
770
00:47:33,201 --> 00:47:34,453
What's happened?
771
00:47:34,619 --> 00:47:36,621
What if we split the difference?
772
00:47:36,788 --> 00:47:38,789
Ship's moving too fast.
773
00:47:39,206 --> 00:47:41,876
Let's call Houston,
ask for coordinates.
774
00:47:42,043 --> 00:47:44,128
They'll know we bullshitted.
775
00:47:44,336 --> 00:47:45,755
Let's say what happened.
776
00:47:46,005 --> 00:47:47,923
That we lied?
That'll go down well.
777
00:47:48,132 --> 00:47:49,467
I don't it will.
778
00:47:50,885 --> 00:47:51,969
Morning, everyone.
779
00:47:53,262 --> 00:47:54,430
How's it going?
780
00:47:55,764 --> 00:47:58,391
- Good.
- You were on the new last night.
781
00:48:01,811 --> 00:48:03,104
Is everything all right?
782
00:48:08,860 --> 00:48:10,153
Yeah. It's fine.
783
00:48:11,112 --> 00:48:13,572
Glenn was just checking...
784
00:48:14,406 --> 00:48:16,033
- some stuff.
- Really?
785
00:48:17,826 --> 00:48:20,162
I'd better let you get to it.
786
00:48:20,412 --> 00:48:22,956
- Sorry for interrupting.
- Not at all.
787
00:48:23,207 --> 00:48:26,084
- Thanks for the food.
- It was my pleasure.
788
00:48:29,296 --> 00:48:31,088
What do you wanna do?
789
00:48:31,255 --> 00:48:33,591
Let's give this some thought.
790
00:48:33,758 --> 00:48:35,092
Sector G, come in.
791
00:48:35,259 --> 00:48:37,345
Let me try something.
792
00:48:39,180 --> 00:48:42,183
- Not now, Rudi.
- You've got a visitor.
793
00:48:42,391 --> 00:48:44,101
It's the ambassador.
794
00:48:46,270 --> 00:48:47,979
From America.
795
00:48:48,146 --> 00:48:49,648
Oh, God!
796
00:48:50,023 --> 00:48:52,317
- Is this thing working?
- Just a moment, Rudi.
797
00:48:52,609 --> 00:48:56,112
Roger, Sector G. Confirm
Sector A. Hold on.
798
00:48:59,991 --> 00:49:02,410
Didn't think he'd come so soon.
799
00:49:02,619 --> 00:49:03,787
Well, he's here.
800
00:49:03,995 --> 00:49:06,205
Space nut knows
all about Apollo 11.
801
00:49:06,455 --> 00:49:07,665
He know where it is?
802
00:49:09,583 --> 00:49:11,919
Let's make the brief.
Send him up, Rubi.
803
00:49:12,253 --> 00:49:13,170
Roger that.
804
00:49:16,799 --> 00:49:18,467
This is the main control panel.
805
00:49:19,051 --> 00:49:23,471
That moves the Dish up and
down, and that sideways.
806
00:49:24,347 --> 00:49:25,473
It's incredible.
807
00:49:26,432 --> 00:49:30,728
You can pinpoint a tiny spaceship
thousands of miles away...
808
00:49:31,688 --> 00:49:33,106
and lock onto it.
809
00:49:35,024 --> 00:49:35,900
Pretty much.
810
00:49:39,070 --> 00:49:42,239
The ambassador didn't sign in,
but I've let it go.
811
00:49:42,573 --> 00:49:44,908
I didn't want to pull rank.
812
00:49:45,826 --> 00:49:50,831
The other facilities, North
West Cape and Honeysuckle Creek...
813
00:49:51,123 --> 00:49:53,542
also have voice and telemetry?
814
00:49:53,750 --> 00:49:58,255
But in TV, yours is the
only dish large enough?
815
00:49:58,587 --> 00:49:59,547
Yeah.
816
00:50:00,381 --> 00:50:02,341
How does that make you feel?
817
00:50:10,433 --> 00:50:11,851
Where do you get them glasses?
818
00:50:12,059 --> 00:50:15,396
I'm afraid that we're
entering overlap now.
819
00:50:17,063 --> 00:50:18,940
So you'll be getting transmissions?
820
00:50:19,107 --> 00:50:20,025
Yeah.
821
00:50:20,942 --> 00:50:23,194
You'll be able to hear Armstrong?
822
00:50:23,403 --> 00:50:26,448
Yep, just by hitting
a couple of buttons.
823
00:50:29,784 --> 00:50:31,745
Oh, let's do that.
824
00:50:34,663 --> 00:50:35,539
Sure.
825
00:50:36,206 --> 00:50:39,001
If I... I don't think...
826
00:50:39,460 --> 00:50:41,003
You're right. I don't...
827
00:50:41,170 --> 00:50:43,338
Just a brief listen, then I'll go.
828
00:50:45,507 --> 00:50:46,842
Not a problem.
829
00:50:48,302 --> 00:50:51,138
I'll have to reorient the...
830
00:50:54,599 --> 00:50:55,558
Al?
831
00:50:56,100 --> 00:50:59,645
If you could patch the audio
in for mezzanine three.
832
00:51:01,689 --> 00:51:05,401
Columbia, Houston, systems
O.K. You're go for audio.
833
00:51:05,735 --> 00:51:06,903
Copy that.
834
00:51:08,321 --> 00:51:12,324
Neil, telemetry reports O2
and CO2 are O.K. And steady.
835
00:51:12,741 --> 00:51:15,827
Biomed telemetry reads...
836
00:51:17,245 --> 00:51:21,041
vital statistics as being
adequate, within the limits.
837
00:51:22,709 --> 00:51:23,752
Copy that.
838
00:51:24,836 --> 00:51:26,962
Neil, we have you currently...
839
00:51:27,171 --> 00:51:30,007
at 124,000 nautical
miles from Earth and....
840
00:51:30,174 --> 00:51:33,552
at approaching velocity
of 32,000 feet per second.
841
00:51:36,222 --> 00:51:37,431
Copy that.
842
00:51:39,058 --> 00:51:41,560
Columbia, Houston.
Get back to work.
843
00:51:42,686 --> 00:51:43,771
Copy that.
844
00:51:44,146 --> 00:51:45,605
Is that you, Neil?
845
00:51:47,273 --> 00:51:50,109
This is Sector A.
Is that you, Mr. Armstrong?
846
00:51:52,237 --> 00:51:55,532
Must be crossed line from
Honeysuckle Creek.
847
00:51:56,491 --> 00:51:59,452
We're really going to have
to get back to work.
848
00:52:00,328 --> 00:52:02,496
- Understood.
- I'll see you out.
849
00:52:03,288 --> 00:52:04,623
I'll just move the Dish.
850
00:52:11,839 --> 00:52:13,632
That's incredible.
851
00:52:14,633 --> 00:52:16,718
That was a true highlight.
852
00:52:17,261 --> 00:52:18,929
I was going to say good luck...
853
00:52:19,263 --> 00:52:23,266
but after what I've seen,
you don't need it.
854
00:52:23,724 --> 00:52:25,142
Thank you very much, sir.
855
00:52:30,147 --> 00:52:32,650
- You'll never guess what happened.
- Later, Rudi.
856
00:52:36,279 --> 00:52:39,114
- Should he sign out?
- Just wave, Rudi.
857
00:52:41,449 --> 00:52:43,159
That's got to be a felony.
858
00:52:44,077 --> 00:52:46,037
Let's find the ship.
859
00:52:46,371 --> 00:52:48,540
Impersonating a person in orbit.
860
00:52:48,873 --> 00:52:50,208
It's a moving target.
861
00:52:50,417 --> 00:52:53,878
Everything is moving. If we
had a point of reference...
862
00:52:54,546 --> 00:52:57,006
Take a punt. Choose a sector.
863
00:52:57,256 --> 00:53:00,092
- Still a long shot.
- Thought you were confident.
864
00:53:00,342 --> 00:53:02,011
I know where Apollo 11 is.
865
00:53:06,890 --> 00:53:08,100
On its way to the moon.
866
00:53:11,186 --> 00:53:12,896
Your point of reference.
867
00:53:14,314 --> 00:53:18,026
They've gone 150,000 miles.
There're within 3 or 4 degrees.
868
00:53:21,571 --> 00:53:22,864
That might be okay.
869
00:53:24,407 --> 00:53:26,075
I think that might be okay.
870
00:53:28,703 --> 00:53:31,913
We can rub this out?
871
00:53:42,966 --> 00:53:44,509
5707.
872
00:53:46,094 --> 00:53:47,137
5708.
873
00:53:51,140 --> 00:53:52,600
There's your moon.
874
00:53:57,438 --> 00:53:59,315
Have a fish around.
875
00:54:24,671 --> 00:54:25,756
6730.
876
00:54:27,382 --> 00:54:29,176
6731.
877
00:54:31,220 --> 00:54:32,763
We've got a signal!
878
00:54:38,185 --> 00:54:39,603
It's Apollo 11!
879
00:54:40,646 --> 00:54:42,855
- Definite?
- 2.28.
880
00:54:43,022 --> 00:54:44,357
It's the tin can.
881
00:54:52,156 --> 00:54:53,616
Yep! Signal lock!
882
00:54:53,783 --> 00:54:55,952
Houston, Apollo 11....
883
00:54:57,036 --> 00:54:58,746
PKS, Houston Net Two.
884
00:54:59,454 --> 00:55:01,122
Houston, PKS.
885
00:55:01,998 --> 00:55:03,458
Parkes is on-line.
886
00:55:03,625 --> 00:55:07,212
Copy, Parkes. We are
receiving your signal.
887
00:55:07,420 --> 00:55:09,506
Switching to master equatorial.
888
00:55:09,798 --> 00:55:11,591
And with 15 minutes to spare.
889
00:55:11,883 --> 00:55:14,010
It's enough time to
check the generator.
890
00:55:18,305 --> 00:55:20,057
That's great news, Cliff.
891
00:55:22,142 --> 00:55:23,602
I got to dash.
892
00:55:24,019 --> 00:55:26,397
I appreciate the call.
893
00:55:26,772 --> 00:55:27,648
What?
894
00:55:30,025 --> 00:55:31,235
Yeah. Bye.
895
00:55:32,152 --> 00:55:33,863
- Major Mclntyre!
- Keith.
896
00:55:36,906 --> 00:55:37,907
What?
897
00:55:38,074 --> 00:55:40,034
I wanted to ask Marie something.
898
00:55:43,454 --> 00:55:44,914
Fire when ready.
899
00:55:47,458 --> 00:55:49,210
Marie, it's Keith!
900
00:55:51,462 --> 00:55:54,756
Want to watch the moon
landing with me on Monday?
901
00:55:54,965 --> 00:55:57,551
Don't you get it?
902
00:55:58,885 --> 00:56:00,304
Get what, sir?
903
00:56:00,762 --> 00:56:02,723
I think that's a "no".
904
00:56:03,849 --> 00:56:05,809
You're a brave lad.
905
00:56:11,355 --> 00:56:13,566
Apollo 11, here Houston, over.
906
00:56:14,066 --> 00:56:15,901
Go ahead, Houston. Apollo 11.
907
00:56:16,068 --> 00:56:19,196
11 this is Houston. You
are going for LOI, over.
908
00:56:19,655 --> 00:56:21,449
Roger, go for LIO.
909
00:56:22,033 --> 00:56:24,619
Houston, can you give me
a time check?
910
00:56:24,827 --> 00:56:29,080
I give you a mark at 13 minutes
and 30 seconds to ignition.
911
00:56:29,372 --> 00:56:30,707
Roger, out.
912
00:56:30,999 --> 00:56:34,878
Apollo 11, this is Houston.
All your systems look good.
913
00:56:35,045 --> 00:56:37,255
- See you on the other side.
- Roger.
914
00:56:37,464 --> 00:56:41,718
... on orbit of the moon,
preparing for lunar descent...
915
00:56:42,010 --> 00:56:44,304
- on Monday afternoon.
- That's all we need to know.
916
00:56:44,512 --> 00:56:46,972
- Vol-au-vent?
- Thank you.
917
00:56:47,348 --> 00:56:48,891
The boys gave you a tour?
918
00:56:49,058 --> 00:56:51,352
Yes. Very impressive facility.
919
00:56:51,518 --> 00:56:53,479
You actually heard Neal Armstrong?
920
00:56:53,687 --> 00:56:54,938
I had the privilege.
921
00:56:55,147 --> 00:56:56,440
How did he sound?
922
00:56:56,648 --> 00:56:58,817
Like he was next door.
923
00:57:17,335 --> 00:57:19,170
That was a day and a half.
924
00:57:20,046 --> 00:57:21,838
I'll be 52 on Monday.
925
00:57:22,047 --> 00:57:23,381
Happy birthday.
926
00:57:23,548 --> 00:57:27,427
And half of them in radio-
telescope mapping the stars.
927
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,263
Then this came along.
928
00:57:32,432 --> 00:57:33,433
Your pipe?
929
00:57:33,892 --> 00:57:38,521
No, the moon mission. Know what
I thought when I first came up?
930
00:57:38,979 --> 00:57:40,147
You beauty?
931
00:57:40,356 --> 00:57:43,901
I thought:
"Imagine stuffing that up."
932
00:57:44,610 --> 00:57:46,195
Isn't that odd?
933
00:57:46,612 --> 00:57:47,571
What?
934
00:57:48,030 --> 00:57:51,242
That I was more scared
than excited.
935
00:57:51,450 --> 00:57:54,495
That's not odd.
I feel like that all the time.
936
00:57:57,372 --> 00:57:58,873
How come you changed?
937
00:58:00,291 --> 00:58:02,335
My wife said something:
938
00:58:03,503 --> 00:58:06,798
"Failure is never quite so
frightening as regret."
939
00:58:07,048 --> 00:58:09,134
That's good advice.
940
00:58:09,384 --> 00:58:10,635
Pretty good.
941
00:58:10,802 --> 00:58:12,971
I wish someone would tell me that.
942
00:58:14,179 --> 00:58:16,181
God bless you, Glenn.
943
00:59:23,370 --> 00:59:25,788
When I said I was sorry...
944
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:27,874
I was sorry for everything.
945
00:59:28,291 --> 00:59:30,293
- Oh, Mitch, that's not...
- No, no, no.
946
00:59:30,501 --> 00:59:32,503
When you first arrived I felt...
947
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,715
you're a hotshot from NASA and
I'm a dumb country kid...
948
00:59:36,174 --> 00:59:38,051
with the arse fallout
out of me daks.
949
00:59:38,676 --> 00:59:40,470
- Your...?
- Pants.
950
00:59:41,012 --> 00:59:42,304
I was wrong.
951
00:59:42,512 --> 00:59:46,350
I never thought of you with
your ass falling out of your...
952
00:59:46,558 --> 00:59:47,726
Daks.
953
00:59:47,976 --> 00:59:50,103
Not everyone at NASA's
a college genius.
954
00:59:50,312 --> 00:59:53,065
The guy I most admire is
from a one-horse town in Ohio.
955
00:59:53,815 --> 00:59:55,067
What's he do?
956
00:59:56,026 --> 00:59:58,403
Tomorrow he'll walk on the moon.
957
00:59:58,612 --> 00:59:59,571
Who's the guy?
958
00:59:59,945 --> 01:00:01,280
Armstrong.
959
01:00:01,697 --> 01:00:04,992
It would have been okay
to tell Houston.
960
01:00:05,201 --> 01:00:06,827
Things go wrong there
all the time.
961
01:00:07,453 --> 01:00:11,540
Mission control goes blue when
50 people hold their breath.
962
01:00:12,124 --> 01:00:15,002
Do you know how many
rockets blew up?
963
01:00:15,169 --> 01:00:17,380
- That's a while yet.
- 6 weeks ago.
964
01:00:17,588 --> 01:00:21,257
Testing the lunar module.
10 simulations without a hitch.
965
01:00:21,466 --> 01:00:24,010
On the 11th, the controls
jammed, it crashed.
966
01:00:24,260 --> 01:00:25,553
Any idea why?
967
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:28,348
We still have no idea why.
968
01:00:28,723 --> 01:00:30,767
Let's hope 11 isn't
an unlucky number.
969
01:00:33,728 --> 01:00:35,938
We pray for those brave souls...
970
01:00:36,188 --> 01:00:37,523
who, as we speak...
971
01:00:37,815 --> 01:00:41,735
are taking the 1st steps in
exploring God's great universe...
972
01:00:42,361 --> 01:00:45,072
and for the technicians and...
973
01:00:45,239 --> 01:00:48,659
scientists who contribute
to this brave endeavor.
974
01:00:49,284 --> 01:00:52,746
You think this Apollo 11
thing's big here?
975
01:00:53,287 --> 01:00:56,040
- You can't imagine.
- Really?
976
01:00:56,249 --> 01:00:57,875
What were you saying last night?
977
01:00:58,126 --> 01:00:59,794
You shouldn't drink so much?
978
01:01:01,129 --> 01:01:02,797
If you'll excuse me.
979
01:01:03,214 --> 01:01:04,674
He came for dinner.
980
01:01:05,091 --> 01:01:09,303
Imagine 2 basketballs. One
there, one there and a valve.
981
01:01:09,846 --> 01:01:13,223
- They won't televise always.
- Wouldn't think so.
982
01:01:13,515 --> 01:01:18,353
Bounces off the basketball,
and then off Goldstone.
983
01:01:19,437 --> 01:01:21,857
Could they hide behind a rock?
984
01:01:22,774 --> 01:01:25,443
Depends on doing a number...
985
01:01:26,236 --> 01:01:27,863
or doing a number...
986
01:01:28,029 --> 01:01:29,488
What was that, Ray?
987
01:01:29,655 --> 01:01:32,408
We're talking about
the TV coverage.
988
01:01:32,700 --> 01:01:35,619
Where can I take a...?
989
01:01:50,592 --> 01:01:52,468
Thanks for the sandwiches.
990
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,388
- Thanks for fixing the bumper.
- That's okay.
991
01:01:55,555 --> 01:01:57,932
- Maybe...
- Janine, I was won...
992
01:01:59,225 --> 01:02:01,269
- You go first.
- No, you.
993
01:02:01,686 --> 01:02:03,937
- What were you going to say?
- Nothing.
994
01:02:04,897 --> 01:02:06,023
What about you?
995
01:02:06,356 --> 01:02:07,399
Nothing
996
01:02:09,192 --> 01:02:10,277
Has he asked her out yet?
997
01:02:13,864 --> 01:02:15,365
This is painful.
998
01:02:16,658 --> 01:02:18,869
I really like weekends too.
999
01:02:19,286 --> 01:02:22,955
And Fridays cause you're
looking forward to the weekend.
1000
01:02:25,875 --> 01:02:28,169
What were you going to say?
1001
01:02:28,794 --> 01:02:29,879
Nothing.
1002
01:02:31,255 --> 01:02:33,966
- What were you going to say?
- Nothing.
1003
01:02:35,926 --> 01:02:36,927
All right.
1004
01:02:37,845 --> 01:02:40,180
- See ya.
- See ya.
1005
01:02:40,472 --> 01:02:42,015
Want to go out Friday night?
1006
01:02:42,474 --> 01:02:44,601
- What did you say?
- Nothing.
1007
01:02:44,893 --> 01:02:47,270
Did you say: "Want to
go out Friday night?"
1008
01:02:47,854 --> 01:02:49,064
Maybe.
1009
01:02:49,439 --> 01:02:51,816
I'd love to go out Friday night.
1010
01:02:53,443 --> 01:02:54,402
With me?
1011
01:02:54,778 --> 01:02:55,945
Yes.
1012
01:02:57,446 --> 01:02:58,572
Right-o then.
1013
01:02:59,448 --> 01:03:00,866
Right-o then.
1014
01:03:33,063 --> 01:03:34,815
He ask her out?
1015
01:03:35,273 --> 01:03:36,775
I'm not sure.
1016
01:03:38,235 --> 01:03:40,278
I had a chat with Al this morning.
1017
01:03:41,446 --> 01:03:42,489
Really?
1018
01:03:42,656 --> 01:03:44,408
He's not such a bad bloke.
1019
01:03:44,658 --> 01:03:46,576
You should give him a chance.
1020
01:03:49,204 --> 01:03:51,372
- You'll be right?
- Yeah.
1021
01:03:51,914 --> 01:03:54,458
- Lf you got any problem...
- I'll call Rudi.
1022
01:03:54,875 --> 01:03:57,169
- That's Parkes lamb.
- I've got enough.
1023
01:03:57,378 --> 01:03:58,462
Plenty more.
1024
01:03:58,671 --> 01:04:01,090
- I'll have the vegetables.
- Yes, dear.
1025
01:04:02,216 --> 01:04:05,261
- This is wonderful.
- Glad you could get away.
1026
01:04:05,428 --> 01:04:07,221
The boys have it under control.
1027
01:04:07,388 --> 01:04:08,930
- When are you up?
- At 4.
1028
01:04:09,097 --> 01:04:10,431
Tomorrow's the big day.
1029
01:04:10,598 --> 01:04:11,891
All being well.
1030
01:04:12,267 --> 01:04:14,936
Man on the bloody moon. Gravy?
1031
01:04:15,562 --> 01:04:19,941
Sending men off into the galaxies
as the world watches.
1032
01:04:20,817 --> 01:04:22,986
Takes your mind off concerns.
1033
01:04:23,236 --> 01:04:24,028
Elbows.
1034
01:04:24,696 --> 01:04:26,363
The whole school will watch it.
1035
01:04:26,530 --> 01:04:28,365
Every school will watch it.
1036
01:04:28,532 --> 01:04:31,160
- What are you estimating?
- 600 million.
1037
01:04:31,493 --> 01:04:32,786
600 million!
1038
01:04:33,245 --> 01:04:34,830
600 million.
1039
01:04:34,997 --> 01:04:36,123
- Peas?
- No.
1040
01:04:36,331 --> 01:04:38,458
Can people in India watch it?
1041
01:04:38,625 --> 01:04:41,211
Yeah, but all on the one telly.
1042
01:04:43,963 --> 01:04:46,591
- I'm serious.
- Far too serious.
1043
01:04:47,216 --> 01:04:50,094
- How they going to film it?
- Cliff?
1044
01:04:50,261 --> 01:04:52,430
A boom outside the camera.
1045
01:04:52,638 --> 01:04:55,516
When Armstrong's outside the
module, it'll swing out.
1046
01:04:55,725 --> 01:04:58,561
- Is there an antenna on the roof?
- Transmitter, Dad.
1047
01:04:58,728 --> 01:05:00,396
It's the size of that bowl.
1048
01:05:01,021 --> 01:05:02,898
- Pumpkin?
- Yes, please.
1049
01:05:03,064 --> 01:05:04,649
All this effort for TV.
1050
01:05:04,900 --> 01:05:06,902
NASA hardly mentioned TV.
1051
01:05:07,110 --> 01:05:08,236
Interesting change.
1052
01:05:08,403 --> 01:05:12,616
Not sure what's more important,
astronauts or pictures.
1053
01:05:14,409 --> 01:05:15,535
How lovely!
1054
01:05:15,785 --> 01:05:16,703
Elbows.
1055
01:05:16,953 --> 01:05:18,746
Can I ask a question?
1056
01:05:18,954 --> 01:05:19,830
Sure.
1057
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,124
Is this mission funded by the CIA?
1058
01:05:22,416 --> 01:05:23,417
Not entirely.
1059
01:05:23,667 --> 01:05:24,752
Really?
1060
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:25,836
No.
1061
01:05:28,213 --> 01:05:30,758
How do they know they won't sink?
1062
01:05:31,008 --> 01:05:32,718
- Good Lord!
- Crikey.
1063
01:05:32,885 --> 01:05:35,346
We know a great deal
about the moon.
1064
01:05:35,971 --> 01:05:40,099
Soil composition, density,
gravity. Not many mysteries.
1065
01:05:40,391 --> 01:05:41,976
If we know so much, why go?
1066
01:05:42,352 --> 01:05:44,646
There's one thing we don't know.
1067
01:05:45,313 --> 01:05:46,439
What, Cliff?
1068
01:05:46,689 --> 01:05:47,982
Whether we can get there.
1069
01:05:50,151 --> 01:05:50,902
Elbows.
1070
01:05:52,028 --> 01:05:53,655
Well, let's start.
1071
01:05:53,862 --> 01:05:56,740
Man on the moon or not,
we've still got to eat.
1072
01:05:56,948 --> 01:05:58,283
You'll like that.
1073
01:06:00,327 --> 01:06:02,579
Back to work, eh?
1074
01:06:02,913 --> 01:06:04,539
It's all go.
1075
01:06:04,748 --> 01:06:07,501
That roast lamb was magnificent.
1076
01:06:07,709 --> 01:06:10,295
- You don't get that in Houston.
- No.
1077
01:06:10,504 --> 01:06:13,005
- We can't have you wasting away.
- Thank you.
1078
01:06:13,464 --> 01:06:15,216
Thank you very much, May.
1079
01:06:15,549 --> 01:06:18,010
It's been quite a while since
I've had a good roast.
1080
01:06:22,556 --> 01:06:25,142
- Good luck for tomorrow.
- Thank you.
1081
01:06:25,309 --> 01:06:28,020
Marie, it was an absolute
pleasure to meet you.
1082
01:06:28,437 --> 01:06:29,437
Really?
1083
01:06:29,979 --> 01:06:31,064
Really.
1084
01:06:34,818 --> 01:06:36,152
How you feeling?
1085
01:06:36,444 --> 01:06:37,445
Fine.
1086
01:06:38,113 --> 01:06:40,281
I heard the prime minister
on the news.
1087
01:06:40,490 --> 01:06:42,409
Could he shut up about it?
1088
01:06:43,993 --> 01:06:48,080
Don't you wonder what we're
doing in the Apollo 11 mission?
1089
01:06:49,623 --> 01:06:52,042
They'll knight you for this.
1090
01:06:52,418 --> 01:06:53,669
Or behead me.
1091
01:07:02,219 --> 01:07:03,220
Dad!
1092
01:07:05,388 --> 01:07:07,014
About face!
1093
01:07:08,683 --> 01:07:10,643
Quick march!
1094
01:07:12,311 --> 01:07:14,730
Boy's not a soldier,
he's a kamikaze.
1095
01:07:34,833 --> 01:07:36,751
- What are you grinning about?
- Nothing.
1096
01:07:36,918 --> 01:07:39,045
You've had a smile all day.
1097
01:07:39,462 --> 01:07:42,256
- No, I haven't.
- Yes, you have.
1098
01:07:43,007 --> 01:07:44,091
All right?
1099
01:07:44,341 --> 01:07:45,634
How was lunch?
1100
01:07:45,885 --> 01:07:48,971
- Wonderful.
- We ate an entire sheep.
1101
01:07:50,139 --> 01:07:51,390
All in order?
1102
01:07:52,391 --> 01:07:55,144
- I was gonna check the receiver.
- I'll do it.
1103
01:07:55,311 --> 01:07:57,770
- I'll stow the Dish.
- I'll take a hayride.
1104
01:07:57,937 --> 01:07:59,189
Hayride?
1105
01:08:00,481 --> 01:08:01,232
What's a hayride?
1106
01:08:02,901 --> 01:08:06,029
When it's down, we can't
get up the core.
1107
01:08:06,279 --> 01:08:09,407
- It's quicker to go for a ride.
- Interesting.
1108
01:08:09,699 --> 01:08:10,783
Okay, Mitch.
1109
01:08:12,076 --> 01:08:15,871
Yet strangely, this
is not in the manual.
1110
01:08:16,663 --> 01:08:18,832
Curious oversight, right?
1111
01:08:26,757 --> 01:08:29,051
It was good what you said at lunch.
1112
01:08:29,509 --> 01:08:30,510
What?
1113
01:08:30,719 --> 01:08:33,846
We don't know whether
we can get there.
1114
01:08:34,722 --> 01:08:37,183
Yes, that's easy to forget.
1115
01:08:38,851 --> 01:08:40,394
Before I left Houston...
1116
01:08:40,603 --> 01:08:43,940
the scientists had planned
everything for Armstrong.
1117
01:08:44,273 --> 01:08:47,234
Rock samples,
measuring radiation.
1118
01:08:47,526 --> 01:08:51,071
Flight director put his foot
down. So they say:
1119
01:08:51,321 --> 01:08:55,492
"When Armstrong gets to the moon,
what should he do?"
1120
01:08:56,743 --> 01:08:58,328
F.D. Says: "Get off it."
1121
01:09:00,747 --> 01:09:03,166
That would be number one.
1122
01:09:03,583 --> 01:09:05,210
I kind of felt for him.
1123
01:09:06,670 --> 01:09:08,963
There's really only one
thing I want to see.
1124
01:09:12,883 --> 01:09:16,261
There's something about putting
a footprint on the moon that...
1125
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:18,389
Makes our spirits soar?
1126
01:09:19,515 --> 01:09:20,683
Yeah, exactly.
1127
01:09:21,016 --> 01:09:22,768
Did you come up with that?
1128
01:09:24,603 --> 01:09:27,980
I'm ashamed to say I didn't.
It was my wife.
1129
01:09:32,193 --> 01:09:33,903
She died last year.
1130
01:09:34,821 --> 01:09:36,656
Sorry to hear that, Cliff.
1131
01:09:37,407 --> 01:09:39,951
She was so excited by all of this.
1132
01:09:40,535 --> 01:09:43,454
Made me realize I should
be excited too.
1133
01:09:43,663 --> 01:09:44,788
And I am.
1134
01:09:46,998 --> 01:09:50,293
The only thing is,
she's not here to share it.
1135
01:09:53,088 --> 01:09:55,424
So... there it is.
1136
01:10:08,185 --> 01:10:10,312
34, 36...
1137
01:10:11,063 --> 01:10:12,231
Hold it there.
1138
01:10:13,566 --> 01:10:15,901
- Strength?
- Negative one-forty.
1139
01:10:16,152 --> 01:10:17,528
Intermittent lock on prime.
1140
01:10:18,779 --> 01:10:20,196
- Do you want me to...?
- No.
1141
01:10:20,613 --> 01:10:22,115
Glenn, run AGC.
1142
01:10:22,323 --> 01:10:24,075
Auto Gain Control running.
1143
01:10:24,617 --> 01:10:26,828
Negative 90. Solid lock.
We're on.
1144
01:10:27,162 --> 01:10:29,414
- Switching to M.E.
- Got it.
1145
01:10:29,622 --> 01:10:30,915
All yours, Al.
1146
01:10:31,124 --> 01:10:33,042
Houston Net Two, PKS.
1147
01:10:33,418 --> 01:10:34,627
Houston Net Two.
1148
01:10:34,961 --> 01:10:36,588
Parkes is on-line.
1149
01:10:37,296 --> 01:10:41,049
Apollo, Houston. RCS
went to super dust.
1150
01:10:41,300 --> 01:10:42,593
We're all go.
1151
01:10:43,302 --> 01:10:46,221
Roger. Mike,
would you confirm...
1152
01:10:46,388 --> 01:10:49,141
thruster B-3 and C-4
are off? Over.
1153
01:10:49,433 --> 01:10:53,687
C- 4 and B-3 are off and
I've got roll jets back on.
1154
01:10:54,229 --> 01:10:56,147
Jets maneuvering, right?
1155
01:10:56,814 --> 01:10:58,733
Will be shortly, Neil.
1156
01:10:58,983 --> 01:11:02,904
Apollo 11. Houston,
we are go for undocking.
1157
01:11:04,447 --> 01:11:06,324
Roger. Understand.
1158
01:11:08,326 --> 01:11:11,621
Eagle, Houston, we see you.
1159
01:11:16,791 --> 01:11:18,376
Roger. Eagle undocked.
1160
01:11:18,543 --> 01:11:21,004
- How does it look?
- The Eagle has wings.
1161
01:11:21,296 --> 01:11:22,297
Rog.
1162
01:11:24,758 --> 01:11:28,637
Roger, Neil. Give us
cooling data.
1163
01:11:33,557 --> 01:11:36,060
You're a go for PDI. Over.
1164
01:11:36,936 --> 01:11:38,312
Roger. Understand.
1165
01:11:42,149 --> 01:11:44,068
Rod McNeil with another
Apollo 11 update.
1166
01:11:44,234 --> 01:11:48,196
Eagle module descent has
entered 5th and final hour.
1167
01:11:48,446 --> 01:11:50,698
According to Houston
Flight Control...
1168
01:11:50,865 --> 01:11:53,409
status is still go
or a landing.
1169
01:11:53,660 --> 01:11:57,789
Eagle module is in critical
stage before touchdown.
1170
01:11:58,289 --> 01:12:00,249
In a matter of minutes....
1171
01:12:00,458 --> 01:12:02,919
astronauts Armstrong
and Aldrin...
1172
01:12:03,086 --> 01:12:05,754
will attempt to land
on the surface of the moon.
1173
01:12:13,261 --> 01:12:17,057
Rudi. Sector 5A. D. E.
Rudi, over.
1174
01:12:17,641 --> 01:12:19,184
They're about to land.
1175
01:12:19,893 --> 01:12:21,687
Eagle, we have to go around.
1176
01:12:21,853 --> 01:12:25,564
Angle S-band pitch minus
niner yaw plus one eight.
1177
01:12:26,148 --> 01:12:28,359
Roger. You're a go to continue.
1178
01:12:28,567 --> 01:12:31,278
Go to continue powered descent.
1179
01:12:32,780 --> 01:12:33,906
They're landed?
1180
01:12:34,156 --> 01:12:35,324
Almost.
1181
01:12:37,243 --> 01:12:38,661
You're looking great.
1182
01:12:39,578 --> 01:12:41,287
2,000 feet.
1183
01:12:41,705 --> 01:12:43,206
Into AGS, 47 degrees.
1184
01:12:43,456 --> 01:12:44,582
Roger.
1185
01:12:44,874 --> 01:12:46,918
37 degrees.
- You're go.
1186
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:50,380
Program alarm.
1187
01:12:50,630 --> 01:12:51,464
He said alarm?
1188
01:12:52,048 --> 01:12:53,425
Program alarm.
1189
01:12:53,591 --> 01:12:56,177
- 1201.
- Roger, 1201 alarm.
1190
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,638
1201. Excessive overflow.
Computer's overloaded.
1191
01:13:00,055 --> 01:13:01,265
They'll abort.
1192
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:03,934
- Okay, we're go.
- We're go.
1193
01:13:04,518 --> 01:13:07,229
- They're going it.
- 723.
1194
01:13:10,065 --> 01:13:12,568
540 feet, down at 15.
1195
01:13:15,028 --> 01:13:17,071
350, down at 4.
1196
01:13:18,322 --> 01:13:20,241
Altitude, velocity light.
1197
01:13:21,033 --> 01:13:23,369
31/2 down. 220 feet.
1198
01:13:24,412 --> 01:13:27,623
Coming down nicely.
200 feet, 412.
1199
01:13:27,915 --> 01:13:29,417
5 and a half down.
1200
01:13:30,585 --> 01:13:33,713
100 feet, 312 down,
9 forward.
1201
01:13:34,379 --> 01:13:38,049
75 feet. Guys looking good.
Down a half.
1202
01:13:38,967 --> 01:13:41,386
- 6 forward.
- 60 seconds.
1203
01:13:41,761 --> 01:13:43,054
Lights on.
1204
01:13:43,263 --> 01:13:45,474
- Fuel?
- I think so.
1205
01:13:45,682 --> 01:13:47,434
30 feet down, 212.
1206
01:13:47,726 --> 01:13:50,479
Picking up some dust.
Faint shadow.
1207
01:13:51,313 --> 01:13:54,315
- 4 forward. Drifting right.
- 30 seconds.
1208
01:13:54,482 --> 01:13:56,108
That's a fuel call.
1209
01:13:56,442 --> 01:13:58,486
- What?
- 30 seconds of fuel left.
1210
01:14:01,947 --> 01:14:03,491
Contact light.
1211
01:14:04,783 --> 01:14:06,327
Okay, engine stop.
1212
01:14:06,869 --> 01:14:08,913
We copy you down, Eagle.
1213
01:14:11,247 --> 01:14:12,415
Houston....
1214
01:14:15,001 --> 01:14:16,836
Tranquillity Base here.
1215
01:14:17,045 --> 01:14:18,838
The Eagle has landed.
1216
01:14:19,047 --> 01:14:20,924
Roger. Tranquillity.
1217
01:14:21,132 --> 01:14:22,425
They're on the moon.
1218
01:14:22,675 --> 01:14:26,429
About to turn blue. Breathing
again. Thanks a lot.
1219
01:14:27,888 --> 01:14:28,972
Bloody hell!
1220
01:14:32,476 --> 01:14:34,394
30 seconds of fuel.
1221
01:14:34,686 --> 01:14:37,481
- What happens now?
- Sleep break.
1222
01:14:38,232 --> 01:14:39,775
It's a good idea.
1223
01:14:41,026 --> 01:14:43,904
Confirmed: Armstrong and
Aldrin are on the moon.
1224
01:14:44,279 --> 01:14:46,322
Both are preparing for EVA.
1225
01:14:46,614 --> 01:14:49,575
- What's that?
- Extra vehicular activities.
1226
01:14:50,243 --> 01:14:51,577
The moonwalk.
1227
01:14:53,037 --> 01:14:54,914
They got rid of that hydrogen?
1228
01:14:55,623 --> 01:14:57,667
They needed that for fuel.
1229
01:15:01,629 --> 01:15:03,588
These are not to scale.
1230
01:15:03,797 --> 01:15:06,383
- The prime minister's on his way.
- He's a fascist!
1231
01:15:06,549 --> 01:15:10,053
I beg your pardon!
Bob, speak to Marie.
1232
01:15:16,851 --> 01:15:18,353
I might just shut that.
1233
01:15:25,526 --> 01:15:26,568
What?
1234
01:15:26,819 --> 01:15:27,820
Wind.
1235
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:30,406
Glenn's under the Bureau.
1236
01:15:30,656 --> 01:15:32,491
- What's it blowing?
- 15 knots.
1237
01:15:32,658 --> 01:15:34,368
- We're related to...?
- 30.
1238
01:15:35,327 --> 01:15:36,954
So, we're fine.
1239
01:15:38,037 --> 01:15:40,248
- For now.
- Come on, Glenn.
1240
01:15:40,748 --> 01:15:42,625
If it goes above 30?
1241
01:15:42,792 --> 01:15:45,044
Above 10, we stow the Dish.
1242
01:15:45,545 --> 01:15:49,340
That's pointing up. We've
got to be pointing east.
1243
01:15:49,882 --> 01:15:50,967
We understand that.
1244
01:15:51,217 --> 01:15:53,386
Forecaster says it
doesn't make sense.
1245
01:15:53,636 --> 01:15:55,637
- Great.
- He say anything else?
1246
01:15:55,846 --> 01:15:58,223
Hello and goodbye. Very polite.
1247
01:16:04,187 --> 01:16:06,815
30 knots can't be the
absolute maximum.
1248
01:16:06,982 --> 01:16:08,108
It's the theoretical maximum.
1249
01:16:08,275 --> 01:16:10,110
- It's never been tested?
- No.
1250
01:16:10,318 --> 01:16:12,028
The Disc can take more than...
1251
01:16:12,195 --> 01:16:13,696
Al, we don't know.
1252
01:16:13,904 --> 01:16:16,323
And I don't want to know.
1253
01:16:17,366 --> 01:16:19,577
1,000 tons is above that
azimuth track.
1254
01:16:19,785 --> 01:16:21,036
That's not good.
1255
01:16:22,413 --> 01:16:24,039
All right, let's just...
1256
01:16:24,665 --> 01:16:26,751
We got 9 hours till they walk.
1257
01:16:27,918 --> 01:16:29,754
Could this blow itself out?
1258
01:16:30,712 --> 01:16:32,380
Yeah, I reckon it could.
1259
01:16:34,215 --> 01:16:35,091
Yeah.
1260
01:16:36,050 --> 01:16:39,345
Just ringing to say good luck.
1261
01:16:39,554 --> 01:16:40,764
Hang on.
1262
01:16:41,097 --> 01:16:42,432
There in a minute!
1263
01:16:43,349 --> 01:16:46,936
It's a bit breezy this morning.
That wouldn't affect...
1264
01:16:48,604 --> 01:16:49,438
Right.
1265
01:16:49,771 --> 01:16:51,356
What happens then?
1266
01:16:52,774 --> 01:16:54,276
Oh, I see.
1267
01:16:55,402 --> 01:16:56,695
You reckon?
1268
01:17:02,117 --> 01:17:03,452
Crikey.
1269
01:17:04,286 --> 01:17:06,245
It's a special day, Bob.
1270
01:17:06,496 --> 01:17:08,706
The prime minister
arrived in Parkes....
1271
01:17:08,873 --> 01:17:12,168
received by the United
States ambassador....
1272
01:17:12,335 --> 01:17:16,130
and local dignitaries eager to
see the historic landing.
1273
01:17:16,297 --> 01:17:19,425
This is Cliff Buxton, the
director of the facility.
1274
01:17:20,426 --> 01:17:23,137
Governor-general. That was
the official opening.
1275
01:17:23,346 --> 01:17:25,305
Why did they build it here?
1276
01:17:25,514 --> 01:17:27,057
If I may, Bob?
1277
01:17:27,390 --> 01:17:29,392
Weather, prime minister.
1278
01:17:29,643 --> 01:17:32,521
Parkes has the stable
climatic conditions...
1279
01:17:32,687 --> 01:17:35,899
conducive to the operation
of large radio telescopes.
1280
01:17:42,738 --> 01:17:43,697
Fire?
1281
01:17:45,658 --> 01:17:46,867
We hit 30 knots.
1282
01:17:47,076 --> 01:17:49,620
- Get back to the bureau.
- Sure.
1283
01:17:50,663 --> 01:17:52,623
- What's up?
- Relax, Rudi.
1284
01:17:52,831 --> 01:17:54,208
What's the bell for?
1285
01:17:54,416 --> 01:17:56,126
Let's us know it's windy.
1286
01:17:56,627 --> 01:18:00,004
I knew that. It's blowing
a bloody gale outside.
1287
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:04,217
- Well done with this.
- The ladies helped.
1288
01:18:04,425 --> 01:18:06,261
No, Apollo 11. Your dish.
1289
01:18:06,427 --> 01:18:08,638
Thank you, prime minister.
1290
01:18:08,972 --> 01:18:13,268
And congratulations on the nod.
Party needs performers.
1291
01:18:13,935 --> 01:18:16,937
- How are they going out there?
- Good. Perfectly.
1292
01:18:17,312 --> 01:18:21,608
We sit here for 5 bloody days,
not a breath of bloody wind.
1293
01:18:21,817 --> 01:18:24,653
And then, out of nowhere...
1294
01:18:25,195 --> 01:18:29,324
when it's our turn, a bloody
cyclone parks on us!
1295
01:18:35,079 --> 01:18:36,330
Sorry lads.
1296
01:18:36,622 --> 01:18:37,790
I might just...
1297
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,961
go check some bloody thing.
1298
01:18:44,005 --> 01:18:47,758
Obviously nothing's foolproof.
There's always limitations.
1299
01:18:48,634 --> 01:18:51,220
There are no guarantees,
all things considered.
1300
01:18:52,554 --> 01:18:54,556
Life, I guess.
1301
01:18:55,306 --> 01:18:57,350
You're joking, aren't you?
1302
01:18:58,476 --> 01:19:00,103
Yeah, everything's fine.
1303
01:19:00,770 --> 01:19:03,648
We have a saying in the Party:
1304
01:19:05,233 --> 01:19:07,402
- "You don't fuck up.!
- And?
1305
01:19:07,569 --> 01:19:08,653
That's it.
1306
01:19:19,538 --> 01:19:21,832
- What?
- They're going to walk early.
1307
01:19:22,082 --> 01:19:24,251
Armstrong's overruled
the sleep break.
1308
01:19:24,418 --> 01:19:26,503
He told NASA:
"We don't want to sleep."
1309
01:19:26,670 --> 01:19:28,337
Armstrong goes for it.
1310
01:19:29,964 --> 01:19:32,216
- When do they walk?
- Soon. Now.
1311
01:19:34,469 --> 01:19:36,596
- So we're off the hook.
- No.
1312
01:19:37,930 --> 01:19:40,808
Goldstone has problems.
They want us from the start.
1313
01:19:41,058 --> 01:19:43,311
We don't see the moon till one.
1314
01:19:43,519 --> 01:19:44,729
12:56.
1315
01:19:44,896 --> 01:19:47,939
Come 12:56, if Armstrong
hasn't walked...
1316
01:19:48,106 --> 01:19:50,108
this Dish points to the moon.
1317
01:19:50,275 --> 01:19:53,111
This is locked down. I
don't care who turns up.
1318
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:56,072
- No one gets in. Understand?
- I understand, sir.
1319
01:19:56,448 --> 01:19:58,033
We must move this dish.
1320
01:19:58,492 --> 01:20:01,036
- There's a safety issue.
- I understand that.
1321
01:20:01,286 --> 01:20:03,287
We're under no obligations.
1322
01:20:03,579 --> 01:20:04,997
Mitch, what will happen?
1323
01:20:05,164 --> 01:20:06,207
Don't know.
1324
01:20:06,540 --> 01:20:08,542
What do you think will happen?
1325
01:20:09,543 --> 01:20:11,629
It's a big sail area.
1326
01:20:12,588 --> 01:20:14,423
The wind grabs hold of it...
1327
01:20:20,221 --> 01:20:21,429
We wait.
1328
01:20:25,308 --> 01:20:26,601
Come on.
1329
01:20:26,893 --> 01:20:29,145
They're going early.
Could happen any time.
1330
01:20:29,395 --> 01:20:31,105
Come on, you'll miss it.
1331
01:20:31,272 --> 01:20:35,193
If I'djust landed on the moon,
I wouldn't want to sleep.
1332
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:38,737
Like telling a kid to sleep
on Christmas morning, eh?
1333
01:20:39,988 --> 01:20:42,115
- More tea, prime minister?
- Yes.
1334
01:20:42,824 --> 01:20:43,784
Lovely.
1335
01:20:44,409 --> 01:20:46,453
- They're going early.
- I know.
1336
01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:49,915
- You all right?
- I am now.
1337
01:20:50,082 --> 01:20:50,916
Sorry?
1338
01:20:51,458 --> 01:20:53,710
Goldstone can take the pictures.
1339
01:20:53,877 --> 01:20:54,878
Goldstone?
1340
01:20:55,128 --> 01:20:57,880
Cliff can't move the Dish
in this wind.
1341
01:20:58,047 --> 01:20:59,048
Good Lord!
1342
01:20:59,298 --> 01:21:02,677
Lt'll die down and
they'll use us later.
1343
01:21:02,885 --> 01:21:06,722
It would have been nice to
be there from the start.
1344
01:21:07,473 --> 01:21:10,434
Doesn't matter what pictures
are caught by who.
1345
01:21:10,851 --> 01:21:14,854
We're part of a team.
That's the most important thing.
1346
01:21:15,272 --> 01:21:17,607
- You're right.
- Your shirt, Bob.
1347
01:21:18,608 --> 01:21:21,695
The boys at the Dish will
be able to relax.
1348
01:21:25,615 --> 01:21:27,951
Getting worse. It's gusting to 50.
1349
01:21:31,662 --> 01:21:33,247
We can't move this dish.
1350
01:21:33,455 --> 01:21:35,499
PKS video, Houston TV, Net 2.
1351
01:21:35,708 --> 01:21:36,959
PKS video. Go ahead.
1352
01:21:37,167 --> 01:21:41,297
Got problems with Goldstone.
Need you as prime receiver.
1353
01:21:41,672 --> 01:21:42,840
Prime?
1354
01:21:43,007 --> 01:21:45,050
The signal between Goldstone
and Houston is dead.
1355
01:21:45,217 --> 01:21:48,679
It's gone to ground and
it's still go for walk.
1356
01:21:49,304 --> 01:21:51,889
We'll advise when in position.
1357
01:21:52,140 --> 01:21:53,474
Roger, PKS.
1358
01:21:53,766 --> 01:21:55,560
Soon as possible, please.
1359
01:21:58,688 --> 01:21:59,939
Glenn, come here.
1360
01:22:00,189 --> 01:22:01,399
Mitch, talk to me.
1361
01:22:02,859 --> 01:22:05,361
- Shaking in upright position.
- What?
1362
01:22:05,528 --> 01:22:08,780
It's not designed to take
these sort of forces.
1363
01:22:09,031 --> 01:22:10,282
Finish what you're saying.
1364
01:22:10,574 --> 01:22:11,700
It could collapse.
1365
01:22:15,620 --> 01:22:18,874
- Man's about to walk on the moon.
- And he will.
1366
01:22:19,041 --> 01:22:20,250
But no one will see it.
1367
01:22:21,043 --> 01:22:23,462
There are 5 lives at risk.
1368
01:22:23,712 --> 01:22:26,088
I'm responsible for those lives.
1369
01:22:28,299 --> 01:22:31,969
Many would say that's sufficient
not to move the Dish.
1370
01:22:32,428 --> 01:22:34,138
Everyone'll accept that.
1371
01:22:34,513 --> 01:22:35,806
But will you?
1372
01:22:37,433 --> 01:22:40,311
This is science's chance
to be daring.
1373
01:22:40,644 --> 01:22:42,812
If we don't move it,
it might as well be rubble.
1374
01:22:48,693 --> 01:22:49,611
Al.
1375
01:22:50,236 --> 01:22:52,697
I still think 11's a lucky number.
1376
01:22:56,075 --> 01:22:57,160
- Glenn.
- What?
1377
01:22:59,245 --> 01:23:01,246
Sometimes, you got to take a risk.
1378
01:23:09,546 --> 01:23:11,089
All right.
1379
01:23:12,424 --> 01:23:13,550
Let's do it.
1380
01:23:15,219 --> 01:23:17,387
I like Cliff. He goes for it.
1381
01:23:17,678 --> 01:23:20,473
From North to South, they
come from near and far...
1382
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:22,767
to witness man take to the sky...
1383
01:23:22,975 --> 01:23:26,437
in search of moon and star.
1384
01:23:27,313 --> 01:23:29,398
But ponder this as rockets fly.
1385
01:23:41,868 --> 01:23:42,786
Jesus!
1386
01:23:44,704 --> 01:23:45,872
65 miles an hour.
1387
01:23:47,666 --> 01:23:48,667
Keep going, Mitch.
1388
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:52,587
'Tween Armstrong and Buzz
Aldrin the lunar surface near.
1389
01:23:53,712 --> 01:23:55,464
What's happening now?
1390
01:23:55,673 --> 01:23:59,301
We can tell Armstrong has
commenced evacuation.
1391
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:02,137
We expect TVpictures
at any moment.
1392
01:24:16,693 --> 01:24:18,278
What the hell was that?
1393
01:24:18,444 --> 01:24:20,572
Drive cogs must've slipped.
1394
01:24:20,780 --> 01:24:23,199
Or Janine's trying to park.
1395
01:24:23,866 --> 01:24:24,993
Stick with it, Mitch.
1396
01:24:25,201 --> 01:24:26,661
I'm staying, whatever happens.
1397
01:24:27,704 --> 01:24:29,913
Okay, Houston, I'm on the porch.
1398
01:24:30,372 --> 01:24:32,124
- He's out of the LEM.
- He's outof the LEM.
1399
01:24:32,332 --> 01:24:33,667
He's outside.
1400
01:24:34,084 --> 01:24:37,462
Columbia, this is Houston.
1'30''to LOS...
1401
01:24:37,671 --> 01:24:39,840
all systems go. Over.
1402
01:24:44,553 --> 01:24:46,012
Houston, we copy...
1403
01:24:46,429 --> 01:24:48,597
and stand by for your cue.
1404
01:24:49,223 --> 01:24:50,725
We're in position.
1405
01:24:51,350 --> 01:24:52,435
Good boy.
1406
01:24:53,853 --> 01:24:54,770
Glenn?
1407
01:24:57,231 --> 01:24:58,024
Nothing.
1408
01:24:59,775 --> 01:25:02,570
Neil, this is Houston.
Loud and clear. Break.
1409
01:25:03,070 --> 01:25:07,240
Buss, this is Houston, check
and verify TVbreaker in.
1410
01:25:10,994 --> 01:25:13,079
Roger, TVcircuit breakers in...
1411
01:25:14,914 --> 01:25:16,624
and read you five square.
1412
01:25:18,168 --> 01:25:20,545
Parkes, please advise status.
1413
01:25:24,548 --> 01:25:26,717
PKS in position. Signal...
1414
01:25:29,136 --> 01:25:30,095
negative.
1415
01:25:32,014 --> 01:25:34,391
- Glenn?
- Moon's still not high enough.
1416
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:35,476
Go lower, Mitch.
1417
01:25:35,851 --> 01:25:37,853
I'm at 60-0-3.
Next stop's concrete.
1418
01:25:39,062 --> 01:25:41,189
- Offset feed!
- Offset!
1419
01:25:44,942 --> 01:25:46,652
Okay, that's good.
1420
01:25:49,155 --> 01:25:50,114
Come on.
1421
01:25:54,660 --> 01:25:55,745
Got it.
1422
01:25:57,370 --> 01:25:59,915
We're getting a picture
on the TV.
1423
01:26:00,791 --> 01:26:02,417
- But man will...
- Armstrong!
1424
01:26:02,626 --> 01:26:04,920
- Travel so far from...
- Thanks, Betty.
1425
01:26:05,086 --> 01:26:06,546
I've got another 2 verses.
1426
01:26:06,713 --> 01:26:08,673
Man's about to walk on the moon.
1427
01:26:10,091 --> 01:26:11,885
You got a good picture, huh?
1428
01:26:12,385 --> 01:26:13,845
There's contrast...
1429
01:26:14,221 --> 01:26:16,055
but with a fair amount
of detail.
1430
01:26:17,681 --> 01:26:19,016
That's Armstrong!
1431
01:26:20,893 --> 01:26:21,936
On the moon!
1432
01:26:22,144 --> 01:26:26,440
Verify the position of the
opening on the camera.
1433
01:26:41,955 --> 01:26:45,083
Neil, we see you coming
down the ladder.
1434
01:26:52,172 --> 01:26:54,383
I'm on that first step, Buzz.
1435
01:26:55,300 --> 01:26:57,553
It's not collapsed too far...
1436
01:26:59,221 --> 01:27:01,640
but it's adequate to
get back up.
1437
01:27:01,848 --> 01:27:04,184
- We copy.
- It takes a good little jump.
1438
01:27:08,604 --> 01:27:10,606
Switch back to main axis.
1439
01:27:19,156 --> 01:27:21,325
- How's that?
- Fine.
1440
01:27:21,534 --> 01:27:23,411
The LEM footpads are only...
1441
01:27:25,579 --> 01:27:29,791
depressed in the surface
about 1 or 2 inches.
1442
01:27:30,208 --> 01:27:34,337
Although the surface
appears to be very...
1443
01:27:35,046 --> 01:27:37,549
very fine-grained.
1444
01:27:37,882 --> 01:27:39,801
It's almost like a powder.
1445
01:27:45,931 --> 01:27:48,058
I'll step off the LAM now.
1446
01:27:52,730 --> 01:27:55,524
That's one small step for man...
1447
01:27:58,402 --> 01:28:00,903
one giant leap for mankind.
1448
01:28:01,738 --> 01:28:03,573
That beautiful from here, Neil.
1449
01:28:03,823 --> 01:28:06,492
It has a beauty all its own.
1450
01:28:06,659 --> 01:28:09,037
It's like the high desert
1451
01:28:09,829 --> 01:28:12,165
- Dad, he's on the moon!
- I know, mate.
1452
01:28:12,582 --> 01:28:14,334
It's very pretty out here.
1453
01:28:14,876 --> 01:28:16,544
Thank God for that hydrogen.
1454
01:28:19,254 --> 01:28:21,089
Are you getting a TVpicture,
Houston?
1455
01:28:21,631 --> 01:28:22,716
You bet ya.
1456
01:28:22,883 --> 01:28:25,093
Neil, yes, we're getting
a TVpicture.
1457
01:28:25,260 --> 01:28:27,387
You're in our field of view.
1458
01:28:31,767 --> 01:28:33,143
I'm on the top step.
1459
01:28:33,352 --> 01:28:36,896
It's simple to hop from
one step to the next-
1460
01:28:37,229 --> 01:28:39,690
You got 3 more steps
and then a long one.
1461
01:28:47,782 --> 01:28:48,949
There you go.
1462
01:28:58,708 --> 01:29:00,043
Beautiful view.
1463
01:29:00,210 --> 01:29:01,544
Isn't that something?
1464
01:29:01,836 --> 01:29:04,047
Magnificent sight out here.
1465
01:29:15,307 --> 01:29:17,392
You can stay this one.
1466
01:29:19,937 --> 01:29:20,854
Enough.
1467
01:29:21,438 --> 01:29:23,524
For those who haven't read it...
1468
01:29:24,233 --> 01:29:27,694
we'll read the plaque on the
landing gear of this LEM.
1469
01:29:28,362 --> 01:29:29,320
It says:
1470
01:29:29,987 --> 01:29:32,240
"Here, men from the
planet Earth....
1471
01:29:32,782 --> 01:29:34,867
first set foot upon the moon.
1472
01:29:35,368 --> 01:29:36,994
July, 1969 A.D.
1473
01:29:38,996 --> 01:29:42,041
They came in peace
for all mankind."
1474
01:29:42,792 --> 01:29:46,087
It has the crew member's
signatures...
1475
01:29:46,379 --> 01:29:49,881
and the signature of the
president of the U.S.
1476
01:30:05,938 --> 01:30:09,024
Columbia, this is Houston
reading you loud and clear.
1477
01:30:09,275 --> 01:30:10,526
How's it going?
1478
01:30:10,776 --> 01:30:13,654
The EVA is progressing
beautifully.
1479
01:30:14,238 --> 01:30:15,447
Great.
1480
01:30:15,656 --> 01:30:19,827
You're the only person that
doesn't have TVcoverage.
1481
01:30:21,870 --> 01:30:24,038
That's all right. I don't mind.
1482
01:30:24,289 --> 01:30:26,374
How's the quality of the TV?.
1483
01:30:26,583 --> 01:30:28,918
It's beautiful, Mike, really.
1484
01:30:37,385 --> 01:30:39,429
Beautiful, just beautiful.
1485
01:30:41,555 --> 01:30:43,307
It's a wonderful day for Parkes.
1486
01:30:44,725 --> 01:30:46,602
They're good pictures.
1487
01:30:47,686 --> 01:30:51,398
The president of the United
States is in his office...
1488
01:30:51,607 --> 01:30:53,984
and would like to say
a few words to you.
1489
01:30:55,777 --> 01:30:57,195
That would be an honor.
1490
01:30:57,945 --> 01:31:01,032
Go ahead, Mr. President.
This is Houston, out.
1491
01:31:01,198 --> 01:31:02,575
Hello, Neil and Buzz.
1492
01:31:02,950 --> 01:31:06,787
I'm talking to you by phone
from the oval room.
1493
01:31:08,497 --> 01:31:10,207
That was Cliff on the phone.
1494
01:31:13,711 --> 01:31:14,795
The pictures.
1495
01:31:15,046 --> 01:31:16,671
They came from us!
1496
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:18,923
You bloody beauty!
1497
01:31:21,217 --> 01:31:24,054
Bloody fantastic!
Here's to Parkes!
1498
01:31:32,062 --> 01:31:34,313
500 million people gathered
at TVset...
1499
01:31:34,521 --> 01:31:36,148
The date's now indelible.
1500
01:31:36,398 --> 01:31:39,360
It's going to be remembered
as long as man survives.
1501
01:31:39,610 --> 01:31:42,446
This has to be the proudest
day of our lives.
1502
01:31:42,654 --> 01:31:44,656
People all over the world...
1503
01:31:44,865 --> 01:31:46,992
I'm sure they too join...
1504
01:31:47,201 --> 01:31:50,412
with Americans in
recognizing what...
1505
01:31:51,412 --> 01:31:53,331
an immense feat this is.
1506
01:31:53,664 --> 01:31:55,416
What you have done....
1507
01:31:55,750 --> 01:31:58,002
- the heavens...
- Well done, guys.
1508
01:31:58,252 --> 01:32:00,379
A part of man's work.
1509
01:32:07,678 --> 01:32:09,513
What sector is Rudi, again?
1510
01:32:09,721 --> 01:32:10,764
"A"?
1511
01:32:11,515 --> 01:32:13,308
Copy that, Sector A?
1512
01:32:15,477 --> 01:32:17,521
Well done, Mr. Armstrong.
1513
01:32:18,313 --> 01:32:22,109
Columbia, this is Houston
reading you loud and clear.
1514
01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:26,487
The crew of Tranquillity Base
is back inside their base.
1515
01:32:26,695 --> 01:32:28,614
Everything went beautifully.
1516
01:32:30,157 --> 01:32:31,283
Hallelujah.
1517
01:32:35,621 --> 01:32:38,457
Tranquillity Base, this
is Houston, over.
1518
01:32:38,624 --> 01:32:40,000
Roger, go ahead.
1519
01:32:41,335 --> 01:32:44,879
We'd like to say from all
of us here in Houston...
1520
01:32:45,130 --> 01:32:49,050
and from all in all countries
in the entire world....
1521
01:32:49,384 --> 01:32:53,680
you've done a magnificent
job up there today, over.
1522
01:32:53,972 --> 01:32:55,390
Thank you very much.
1523
01:32:55,765 --> 01:32:57,392
It's been a long day.
1524
01:32:58,768 --> 01:32:59,978
Thanks, Bernie.
1525
01:33:05,649 --> 01:33:09,278
The official telegram will
go to your primer minister.
1526
01:33:10,404 --> 01:33:13,365
But "Congratulate Parkes
Radiotelescope personnel...
1527
01:33:13,532 --> 01:33:17,911
for the outstanding support of
man's first lunar expedition.
1528
01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:22,248
C. Charlesworth, Apollo 11
Flight Director."
1529
01:33:22,582 --> 01:33:25,376
We did it, eh?
1530
01:33:25,751 --> 01:33:27,461
Yeah, we did, Al.
1531
01:33:30,631 --> 01:33:32,967
Good work, Mitch. And well done.
1532
01:33:33,384 --> 01:33:34,385
Thanks, Cliff.
1533
01:33:34,635 --> 01:33:37,053
- Congratulations, Al.
- Cliff.
1534
01:33:40,682 --> 01:33:42,726
- Good knowing you, Glenn.
- Thanks.
1535
01:33:45,145 --> 01:33:46,980
And happy birthday, Cliff.
1536
01:33:47,897 --> 01:33:49,232
Thanks, Glenn.
1537
01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:56,363
This should be it: ''We agree to
support the Apollo 11 mission."
1538
01:33:56,530 --> 01:34:00,159
It's extraordinary, sending
men off into the galaxy.
1539
01:34:00,326 --> 01:34:03,912
You wonder what we're doing
in the Apollo 11 mission?
1540
01:34:04,121 --> 01:34:06,707
It inspires us to redouble
our efforts...
1541
01:34:06,915 --> 01:34:11,045
to bring peace and
tranquillity to Earth.
1542
01:34:12,420 --> 01:34:14,464
For one priceless moment....
1543
01:34:14,964 --> 01:34:17,091
in the whole history of man...
1544
01:34:17,508 --> 01:34:20,762
all the people on this
Earth are truly one.
1545
01:34:28,478 --> 01:34:32,773
I'm going to have to ask you to
go through the public entrance.
1546
01:34:33,190 --> 01:34:35,776
- I'm sorry.
- Tours are on the hour.
1547
01:34:36,068 --> 01:34:39,905
Maybe not today but, I may
come back another time.
1548
01:34:40,113 --> 01:34:42,491
I'd do it. People get
quite a buzz here.
1549
01:34:44,201 --> 01:34:45,702
I'll bet they do.
1550
01:34:47,162 --> 01:34:48,579
Do I know you, sir?
1551
01:34:48,954 --> 01:34:50,456
No, I don't believe so.
1552
01:34:50,706 --> 01:34:52,166
You look familiar.
1553
01:34:53,501 --> 01:34:55,878
Well, I better be off.
1554
01:34:56,295 --> 01:34:59,590
Back out and around to the left.
