it inspires us to redouble our efforts to bring

brought back by astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin.

158
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:43.700
The scientists, headed up by Dr. Isidore Adler,
of the Theoretical Studies Branch,

159
00:13:43.700 --> 00:13:49.600
and Dr. John Philpotts, of the Planetology Branch,
will be among some 140 experimenters

160
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:54.000
from the United States and foreign countries
to receive the samples after they

161
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:59.000
have gone through quarantine and prepared for
distribution by the lunar receiving laboratory

162
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:02.480
of the Houston Manned Spacecraft Center.

163
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:07.000
ARMSTRONG: -- the hard rock samples have
what appear to be vesicles in the surface.

164
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:13.000
Also, I am looking at one now that
appears to have some sort of phenocryst.

165
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.600
ALDRIN: Hey, Neil, didn't I say we
might see some purple rocks?

166
00:14:17.760 --> 00:14:19.400
ARMSTRONG: Find a purple rock?

167
00:14:20.740 --> 00:14:24.800
NARRATOR: At approximately 11:53 p.m.
Central Daylight Time tonight,

168
00:14:24.800 --> 00:14:30.200
astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin began
preparations to reenter the Lunar Module.

169
00:14:31.620 --> 00:14:36.840
The Eagle lifted off the surface of the Moon
at 12:54 p.m. Central Daylight Time today.

170
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.100
Apollo 11 is on the way home.

171
00:14:43.940 --> 00:14:47.800
Apollo 11 is streaking toward
a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.

172
00:14:47.880 --> 00:14:54.200
The speed will rapidly increase to a maximum
of about 24,800 miles per hour.

173
00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:00.300
400.000 feet above the Earth. the spacecraft
will begin to encounter the atmosphere.

174
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.500
At that point, the heat shield will begin to heat up.

175
00:15:03.520 --> 00:15:06.000
SYDNEY: 596, this is Sydney, go ahead.

176
00:15:06.020 --> 00:15:07.400
QANTAS: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

177
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:13.200
Captain Brown speaking from
the flight deck of Qantas 596.

178
00:15:13.220 --> 00:15:18.900
It does seem that we're going to get a
very good view of Apollo 11--

179
00:15:18.900 --> 00:15:22.800
Oh, I think I can -- here they come!
On the left side. Two of them.

180
00:15:22.880 --> 00:15:27.000
One object, brighter than the other.
See the two of them? One above the other?

181
00:15:27.040 --> 00:15:31.600
Brightest one, lowest. One's the Command
Module, one's the Service Module.

182
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.800
They each weigh six tons.
They're just picking up heat now.

183
00:15:35.880 --> 00:15:39.500
The bottom one's leaving an incandescent
trail. You see him flashing?

184
00:15:39.500 --> 00:15:46.200
That's the trail of epoxy ablative resin coating.
See it brightening up?

185
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:51.900
What a spectacle! It's passing abeam us now
at nearly 300 miles. There it goes!

186
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:56.100
NARRATOR: Apollo 11 with astronauts Neil
Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins

187
00:15:56.100 --> 00:16:00.300
has splashed down in the Pacific Ocean.
The historic voyage to the Moon

188
00:16:00.300 --> 00:16:03.900
and back ended at 11:50 a.m.
Central Daylight Time.

189
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:08.300
The landing took place at a point about
900 miles southwest of Hawaii.

190
00:16:08.340 --> 00:16:12.400
As the spacecraft reentered the atmosphere,
one of the recovery planes sighted

191
00:16:12.400 --> 00:16:17.400
the spacecraft glowing in the early morning sky.
Shortly before splashdown, another of the

192
00:16:17.460 --> 00:16:22.300
instrumented aircraft spotted Apollo 11.
Then the spacecraft was spotted briefly

193
00:16:22.380 --> 00:16:25.600
behind the clouds by those on the
recovery ship Hornet.

194
00:16:25.660 --> 00:16:30.200
At 11:45, the Apollo 11 crew reported
that the chutes had deployed.

195
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:35.740
At 11:48, the Hornet reported visual sighting,
then the Apollo 11 itself reported.

196
00:16:36.380 --> 00:16:39.200
HORNET: Apollo 11, Apollo 11,
this is Hornet, Hornet. Over.

197

APOLLO 11: Hello, Hornet. This is Apollo 11
reading you loud and clear.

198
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:48.600
Our position: 1330, 16915.

199
00:16:48.680 --> 00:16:52.500
NARRATOR: Helicopters immediately
began to hover over the Apollo 11,

200
00:16:52.560 --> 00:16:55.800
and then the swimmers dropped
into the water for the recovery.

201
00:16:55.880 --> 00:16:58.700
GODDARD: Hornet,
Goddard Voice, via ATS.

HORNET: Copy you loud and clear.

205
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:10.000
GODDARD: Roger. We're going to be monitoring
this circuit for the recovery sequence.

206
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:13.200
We'll also be extending this
circuit on to the White House.

207
00:17:13.280 --> 00:17:15.000
HORNET: Roger, understand.

208
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:16.780
GODDARD: White House, Goddard Voice.

209
00:17:17.080 --> 00:17:18.200
WH: White House.

210
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:19.600
GODDARD: Roger, how do you hear me?

211
00:17:19.600 --> 00:17:21.000
WH: You're loud and clear.

212
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:24.000

NIXON: Neil, Buzz and Mike,
I want you to know

221
00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:03.800
that I think I'm the luckiest man in the world,
and I say this not only because

222
00:18:03.860 --> 00:18:08.700
I have the honor to be president of the United
States, but particularly because I have

223
00:18:08.780 --> 00:18:16.000
have the privilege of speaking for so many
in welcoming you back to Earth.

224
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:19.500
I can tell you about all the messages
we've received in Washington:

225
00:18:19.580 --> 00:18:26.900
Over 100 foreign governments, emperors
and presidents and prime ministers and kings,

226

on this Earth, all of them who have had

228
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:39.560
the opportunity through television
to see what you have done.
