:01:01
You fellas all know
what we're doing here, right?

:01:04
- Think so.
- Just shootin' the shit. Informal.

:01:07
No big deal.
:01:09
Coffee klatch kind of stuff
we can cut into...

:01:12
anytime during our broadcast
of the mission.

:01:15
Are we underdressed, Emmett?
:01:16
Not at all, boys.
I'm just a creature of habit.

:01:19
I can't go on the air
without puttin' on my tie.

:01:23
We'll be on the air from the moment
you cross through the equigravisphere...

:01:28
right up through the big moment.
:01:30
- I'm gonna need all the help I can get.
- I don't know, Emmett.

:01:34
Cronkite worked us over. I don't know
how much we have left for you.

:01:37
Let me worry about Cronkite.
:01:39
I've got good stuff on each of you,
but don't get too formal about it.

:01:44
Say any damn thing you please,
any damn thing you want.

:01:47
Neil, I'll start with you.
Then you, Buzz.

:01:51
- Mike, you'll be Tail-End Charlie.
- I'm always Tail-End Charlie.

:01:55
Forget what I just said.
We'll start with you.

:01:57
Now, Mike, you have a role unlike
any other human being in the world.

:02:03
- Are we beginning now?
- Oh, yeah.

:02:06
They started rolling
the minute I sat down.

:02:09
We are having an informal chat
with these three men...

:02:11
who need no introduction.
:02:22
This is Apollo Saturn Launch Control.
We can now count down for Apollo 11...

:02:26
the flight to land
the first men on the moon.

:02:29
We're on time
at the present time...

:02:31
for our planned liftoff
of 32 minutes past the hour.

:02:34
"T" minus 60 seconds
and counting.

:02:36
We've passed "T" minus 60.
:02:38
Fifty-five seconds
and counting.

:02:41
Last I reported back
when we received the good wishes.

:02:44
"Thank you very much.
We know it will be a good flight."

:02:47
Good luck and Godspeed.
:02:51
Forty seconds away
from the Apollo 11 liftoff.

:02:54
All second-stage tanks
now pressurized.

:02:56
Thirty-five seconds and counting.
We are still go with Apollo 11.
