Two months later on Apollo 10,
Tom Stafford and Gene Cernan...
:50:04
took LEM 4 down to within 50,000 feet
of the lunar surface.
:50:08
Look at that. There's enough boulders
to fill up Galveston Bay!
:50:13
Houston, we is goin',
and we is down among 'em, Charlie!
:50:19
Now only one question
about the LEM remains.
:50:22
The biggest question of all.
:50:24
And it will be up to the next LEM
to answer it.
:50:30
When I said good-bye to LEM 3,
I felt like a proud parent...
:50:33
watching a child go off to college.
:50:38
As I say good-bye to this LEM, I feel
like a parent of centuries past...
:50:42
saying farewell as his child embarks
for the New World.
:50:46
To some people, that might
sound like I'm stretching the point.
:50:50
A LEM is not a child,
it's a machine...
:50:52
and a machine doesn't have a soul.
:50:54
We may yell at our toasters
and name our cars...
:50:57
but in the end even a LEM
is just a collection of wires...
:51:00
and circuits and nuts and bolts.
:51:03
I don't know.
I think each LEM does have a soul.
:51:07
It's a soul of all the people
who built her...
:51:09
designed her...
:51:11
first dreamed of her.
:51:14
- What number is this one?
- This one is LEM 5.
:51:19
- Thank you for inviting us here today.
- You're welcome, Mr. Houbolt.
:51:23
Without you guys there might not be
anybody here today.
:51:26
- Someone would have thought of it.
- Maybe.
:51:29
And this is the actual machine
that's gonna land on the moon?
:51:32
Yep.
:51:34
- What are they calling this one?
- This one...
:51:37
This one is the Eagle.
