:44:01
With the backpack tested...
:44:03
it was time to see
if LEM 3 could fly.
:44:27
That's a nice-looking machine.
:44:30
It's not like an F-86,
I'll tell you that.
:44:34
It's an ungainly beast.
:44:37
But it really flies.
:44:59
Houston, Spider.
:45:01
We are preparing to throttle up
the descent engine.
:45:03
Roger, Spider.
:45:05
Then it was time to see if the decision
I had made just before the launch...
:45:09
was the right one.
:45:16
The tank'll be fine.
:45:18
It'll hold.
:45:24
Throttle to 20 percent.
:45:33
It's a little rough.
:45:36
Yeah, wasn't it?
I think we swallowed a little helium.
:45:40
Yeah, let's try it again.
:45:44
Throttle to 40 percent.
:45:52
Houston, Spider.
:45:54
Everything looks good here.
:45:57
It was a good burn.
