WEBVTT - Chapter 6 – Separation

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Buzz, an audio drama for iHeart Podcasts starring John Lithgow

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:07.920
<v Speaker 1>and Jeffrey Arran as buzz Aldren. This series is based

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:12.400
<v Speaker 1>on real events, However, certain characters, names, incidents, locations, and

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>dialogue have been fictionalized for dramatic purposes. Chapter six.

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:25.599
<v Speaker 2>As Neil, Mike and I stared into space from the

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 2>command module, we didn't even know what we were looking for.

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Was it a relatively harmless piece of debris held in

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 2>orbit by the Moon's gravity and propelled by our own paranoia?

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Or was it a spacecraft sent by some alien force

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 2>from a galaxy far far away. Of course, that couldn't

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 2>have cared less about the petty political squabbles between Earthlings

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 2>and who'd be willing to destroy our planet in order

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 2>to protect theirs.

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 3>There there two o'clock.

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 4>You see you, Mike?

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 5>Is it Beck?

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:08.760
<v Speaker 6>No?

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Neil? For a second, I thought, guess not.

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Then there was the how, if, and when of Eagle

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:21.839
<v Speaker 2>unlocking from Columbia, a decision the time and available fuel

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 2>and oxygen was making increasingly crucial for me. It wasn't

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 2>so much a technical decision as it was an emotional one,

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 2>which is why it was a waste of time to

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 2>discuss it with Neil.

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 7>Mike.

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, bus, If we lose pressure during separation, the command

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 8>module might stay intact. You'd be able to get home.

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Eating shrimp cocktail all the way.

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 8>I'm serious. If Houston doesn't get it figured out to

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 8>a greater degree of probability, would you proceed with separation.

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 3>I never worried about us getting here, but I hate

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 3>the idea of going back alone, of being known for

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.679
<v Speaker 3>the rest of my life as Apollo eleven's only survivor.

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 3>If they don't figure it out, I'd vote to a

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 3>boart and leave the moon to Apollo twelve.

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 8>I can't do that.

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 3>I know you ask what I'd do. I could live

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 3>with a disappointment. I'd still be a husband and father.

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 3>You take it as a failure, The walls come up, and.

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 4>You'd be more.

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Alone than ever.

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Neil kept staring out the window and didn't say a word.

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 3>I wish you could put all of this in some

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 3>kind of perspective. It'd be a lot different.

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 8>I don't want to be different.

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.239
<v Speaker 9>Did Grumm and guys have what they need?

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 6>We had to take the ambient pressure down as close

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 6>to duplicating lunar orbit conditions as we can.

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 9>Get ten solid seconds of stability after undocking and we're

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 9>home free. All right, people, let's do this. Nothing's riding

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 9>on it except the success of the mission and the

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 9>lives of three men.

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Mission Control and the engineers from Grumming had set up

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 2>a full sized duplicate at the command and lunar modules

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 2>to test the undocking procedure.

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 4>T minus five to separation hatches are four, then enabled

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 4>three tunnel clear two triggering. Why an't one go for

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 4>undocking zero separation sequence?

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 9>So that's three dead astronauts. Back to work, boys. We

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 9>do it again and again until we get it right.

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm Buzz Aldrin, and this is the story you think

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, but you don't.

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 4>Ignition frequent five good five four.

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:37.000

<v Speaker 9>R Bam.

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 2>You're listening to Buzz. This is the story of my

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Greatest achievement.

0:04:58.480 --> 0:04:59.279
<v Speaker 4>Chapter six.

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 5>It is replaced two hours till separation. Cliff and his

0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 5>boys may solve this and they may not. What are

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 5>you going to tell the crew? Gene?

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.040
<v Speaker 9>When the model blew up, all I could see were

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 9>three more confidence fundamental question deecon if I were up

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 9>there would I want to know the truth.

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 5>They have to know Gene, and they have to know

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 5>it sooner than later.

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 3>This is Command Module Columbia, much as I'm enjoying Neil

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 3>and Buzz's company. Where are we on the undocking problem?

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:49.840
<v Speaker 10>We just ran another test. It wasn't entirely successful.

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.359
<v Speaker 8>You're planning to quantify that?

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 4>How are we proceeding?

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 10>We are continuing to explore remedia alternatives.

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.839
<v Speaker 3>And there's something else, something even better.

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 10>The Russians have a Luna fifteen craft in orbit of

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 10>the Moon. There's the possibility of an accidental pollision or

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 10>a deliberate one.

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:19.919
<v Speaker 4>You've got to be kidding over how reliable is that information?

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 10>Houston Jadrel Bank in England has been monitoring the Luna

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:28.719
<v Speaker 10>fifteen since it was launched. Any sign of an object

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.480
<v Speaker 10>in your vicinity, we need to know about it as

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 10>soon as possible.

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:37.920
<v Speaker 11>Over there has been a citing Houston of a Luna

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.600
<v Speaker 11>of something. We're not sure what it is.

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Over Neil may have been commander, but at that point

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 2>my instincts as a fighter pilot took over.

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 4>Mike.

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 8>What are the latest fuel numbers for the RCS Thruster quads?

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 3>We're five percent belunomenal in quad Bravo, but the others

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 3>are fine.

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 8>Why if the Russian craft's coming in, we need to

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 8>get the thrusters ready. Let's take the RCS, select off auto,

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 8>and get ready to hot fire.

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 4>Neil.

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 3>You didn't say anything about that, About what?

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 8>I'm not waiting for Neil to say anything.

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 3>Houston Buzz thinks we sha't take.

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 8>A translator, Neil. We have to hot fire the thrusters

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 8>to create distance from the Luna.

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 4>Now is not the time yet, it is. We don't

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 4>have a procedure from Houston Command.

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 8>Colonel Armstrong. If the Russian craft intersects, we're talking about

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 8>a seven mile a second closure.

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:31.679
<v Speaker 10>Speed Columbia flight.

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 2>But I wasn't listening to Gene Krantz. This was between

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 2>me and Neil.

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 11>Without knowing where it's going, we could be pushing ourselves

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 11>closer to it.

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 8>If there's one thing I know about Neil, it's rendezvous.

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 4>I know you know about it, Buzz. Everyone knows you know.

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 8>What the hell does that mean?

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 10>If we can sell the data on where it is

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 10>going and when it'll get there, we'll develop contingencies forization too.

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 10>Then we're not going to spin all the wheels, planning

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 10>a procedure that we'll make a bad situation worse.

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 4>Columbia go ahead, Houston.

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 10>Stand by for further instructions.

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 9>Roger that Ludwig said they'd go after each other, jeopardizing

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 9>the mission.

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:23.239
<v Speaker 5>What's jeopardizing the mission? Gene our technical malfunctions and maybe

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 5>our own incompetence.

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.560
<v Speaker 2>We flew on saying nothing to each other for what

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 2>seemed like hours. It wasn't. All we knew was Houston

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 2>was trying to figure out how to separate Eagle from

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Columbia without killing us, while we kept our eyes peeled

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 2>for the Russian spacecraft, hoping to avoid it so they

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't kill us. And I thought Korea was a bitch.

0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 6>What have you got cliffs here? You think they've solved it.

0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 9>It's a new test model.

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 6>There are three for three on clean undock.

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:04.959
<v Speaker 9>With the procedure change.

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 6>E COMM says we can start to vent early without

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 6>impacting the consumables. N FDO says, there's no effect on

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 6>the trajector.

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 9>Cap Com. Let's get the procedure up to the crew.

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 9>If we can vent the tunnel without a hiccup, we

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:18.439
<v Speaker 9>may have dodged.

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 7>A bullet Roger that flight director Columbia, Houston. We've got

0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 7>another checklist change for you on the undocking procedure over Houston.

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.439
<v Speaker 4>Should we break out the helmets.

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 10>Negative, Columbia, leave the stowed for now, see anybody copy.

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 10>We need you to cycle the repress from auto twice

0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 10>and then do the same with the dump valve. Then

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 10>when you extend the probe, we want to see the

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.559
<v Speaker 10>barber pull on pressurization before you retract.

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.080
<v Speaker 3>We can start to cycle the dumb valve. On's neil

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.719
<v Speaker 3>and buzzer in position and the hatches are closed.

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 10>In position.

0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 3>They're in position cycling the valve.

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 12>Yim fingers cry, I'm feeling a little deja vous.

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, buzz practice makes perfect.

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:12.960
<v Speaker 10>Also on the end.

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 8>RCS pressurized closing lunar module.

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Hatch closing command module, watch rules.

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 12>Disabled, depressed back to auto, dumb valve open, ah damn venthenomenal, Houston.

0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 10>Roger, Columbia.

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:39.079
<v Speaker 4>We're showing zero pressure and holding fifteen seconds to zero.

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 7>Looks like we're going to the moon.

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Run it again, Gene.

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 9>How many times the rumen may be three for three,

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 9>but we're only one for one. It may have been

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 9>a Fluke.

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 5>We got a checklist a mile long in separation scheduled

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:54.640
<v Speaker 5>for less than half an hour.

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:55.960
<v Speaker 9>Run it again, Dick.

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 8>RCS pressurized, closing, lunar module hatch.

0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:04.880

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 10>Roger Eagle zero pressure. Excellent job, Neil. We're t minus

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 10>nineteen minutes fifty four seconds to undocking of Columbia and

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 10>Eagle prior to entering lunar orbit.

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 8>Uh oh, there it is again at three o'clock and holding.

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 10>You got Columbia.

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 4>We have a moving object within visual.

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.439
<v Speaker 10>Can you identify? Is it a Russian Luna fifteen over?

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 4>It appears to be tracking on a steady course.

0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 10>Eagle.

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Can you identify the Russian run of fifteen negative?

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 4>Houston?

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 8>No identification possible.

0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.319
<v Speaker 10>The Houston or we go for undocking regardless?

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 4>What do we do well, Jane.

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:08.440
<v Speaker 10>Repete Houston. Are we go for undogging and lunar descent

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.199
<v Speaker 10>or do we are board.

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:23.080
<v Speaker 5>Come on.

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 10>Control in Columbia? Different theature changes. They're putting a tent

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 10>in our RCS, fuel in ausington supplies. Are we go

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 10>for module separation?

0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 9>You could run another test. Will the decompression hold or not?

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 9>I believe it will. Don't tell me what you believe,

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 9>Tell me what you know. Fundamental question, Cliff, If you

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 9>were up there, I am mister Krantz.

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.319
<v Speaker 4>We have Sir Bernard online nine oh one.

0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Sir Bernard?

0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 4>What is it?

0:12:58.360 --> 0:12:59.200
<v Speaker 10>Bad bit of luck?

0:12:59.360 --> 0:12:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Chris?

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.600
<v Speaker 8>And I'm afraid the latest orbit of the Soviet craft

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 8>only increases the possibility of an intercept.

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 12>We're less than ten minutes from separation.

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.839
<v Speaker 8>Our rate of thrust or fuel consumption requires a go

0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:12.200
<v Speaker 8>or abort decision.

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 10>There's no safety in the former and no glory in

0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.280
<v Speaker 10>the latter. Makes for a moment of broad high drama,

0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:18.960
<v Speaker 10>doesn't it.

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll keep you informed.

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 10>Speaking on.

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 11>Repeat, Houston, where are we on Columbia? Eagle separation running.

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 10>Through final Columbia.

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 2>It was at that time I decided to introduce a

0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 2>novel concept in the proceedings.

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 8>Is someone gonna make up their mind?

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 4>Or what.

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 9>Activate the squad boxes?

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 5>Deacon gotcha?

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:50.839
<v Speaker 9>Eagle, this is flight. You are cleared for separation. You're

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 9>cleared for separation. Testings over.

0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:59.480
<v Speaker 11>This is the real McCoy Roger Houston, buzz and I

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 11>will proceed into the lunar module.

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:07.319
<v Speaker 3>Come here, palass I gave Mike a hug.

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 2>We knew it might be the last time we'd see

0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 2>each other, but we weren't about to say so. Pilot's

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.680
<v Speaker 2>don't do that now.

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 8>When I get back, you better have saved me. Shrimp cocktail,

0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 8>You got.

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 4>It, buzz, Come on, Buys.

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 6>We'll know within seconds of the latch actuators triggering whether

0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 6>we've lost whole pressure. At that point, we won't have

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 6>very much time to egress before the lunar module gets

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 6>too far away from Mike to catch up with it.

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 6>If everything looks.

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 9>Good, we won't know about subsystem integrity till we're halfway

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 9>down to the surface. There's another thing, Jane flight dynamics.

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.600
<v Speaker 6>If they outgas even a little, it's gonna push them

0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 6>off course.

0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 9>Look, let's just get them undocked and make sure they

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 9>can still breathe.

0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 5>And then there's the Russian craft Jane.

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 9>One disaster at a time.

0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 10>Columbia Houston rule zero zero zero zero zero seven zero

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 10>zero zero.

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 11>And Tenata Omni RCS pressurized closing hatch, closing.

0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 3>Hatch disabling roll looking good.

0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 8>Columbia Cycling complete dumb valve initiate.

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:36.360
<v Speaker 4>We have nominal depressurization and our go for separation.

0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 3>Houston, Copular Meal, you or go for undocking latch retract

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 3>in three two.

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 2>One, Neil hit the switch and the docking mechanisms disengage

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 2>the two spacecraft. As they separated. I could see the

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 2>blackness of space in but was the tunnel between the craft?

0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:04.360
<v Speaker 2>What a sight?

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 4>Houston, we have separation.

0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:09.280
<v Speaker 10>We are go for Luna landing.

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 2>All systems looking good, but all systems worked.

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 10>We're doing explosively compression in the docking assembly.

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:21.800
<v Speaker 7>Roger Houston. We're reading the same thing.

0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:27.400
<v Speaker 5>There's we're getting buckling in the lunar module pressure health

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 5>and the gimbals are going crazy.

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 9>Umbia, we're seeing on all access rotation in both vehicles.

0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 9>Null those rates. Columbia. Can you see Eagle?

0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 4>Eagle?

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 7>Are you reading Columbia, Columbia, Eagle, We're still showing rotation.

0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:51.920
<v Speaker 7>Do you have hot fire on your thrusters?

0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Over Eagle?

0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 9>We need you to stabilize to recover calms. Columbia and

0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 9>the Eagle, are you reading us?

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 4>Repeat?

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 9>Colombia and Eagle, this is flight. Are you reading us? Colombia?

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:24.040
<v Speaker 9>This is Houston. Are you in visual contact with Eagle Capcom.

0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 9>Are you receiving nothing on high or Low.

0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:29.919
<v Speaker 4>Eagle?

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:37.439
<v Speaker 9>Do you have a visual on Colombia? Eagle Colombia, this

0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 9>is flight. Please respond.
