Two months later, Frank Borman,
Jim Lovell and Bill Anders...
:34:03
took Apollo 8 on its
historic flight around the moon.
:34:08
All that time, LEM 3
was being worked on around the clock.
:34:12
By February 1969, George and the rest
of the Grumman crew...
:34:16
had tested every circuit
and tightened every bolt.
:34:20
LEM 3 was ready.
:35:00
- I like the call sign.
- Spider?
:35:03
It seemed appropriate.
:35:04
- How about the command module?
- Gumdrop.
:35:08
When it came from North American
it was all wrapped in blue plastic.
:35:11
It's sort of what it looked like.
:35:13
Maybe you should go up with us,
make sure everything's okay.
:35:17
I'd love to go up with you.
:35:21
She's ready.
:35:24
I know.
:35:27
- We'd better get back to the sim.
- Yep.
:35:31
- She's a beautiful machine, Tom.
- Isn't she?
:35:34
- You really think it's beautiful?
- It looks like a toaster oven with legs.
:35:37
But I'm not gonna tell him that.
:35:42
Hold on a minute, Bill.
:35:43
I gotta get him to the airport.
:35:45
Look, he spent the last seven years
of his life building that thing.
:35:50
Let's give him a moment to say good-bye.
:35:54
It stays up there, remember?
