Well, Emmett, I'll be plenty busy with
some interesting mission objectives.

:09:04
Of course I'll have
a great view to look at.

:09:06
And I'm taking along
a few good books, just in case.

:09:10
Okay. Okay.
:09:13
Now, Mr. Neil Armstrong.
:09:16
The moon.
:09:17
A lot of cockamamie theories
about landing on it...

:09:20
and how it would be
impossible.

:09:23
But the point is,
being the first to do it...

:09:25
you don't know exactly
what's gonna happen.

:09:28
I mean, how do you physically
train for such a thing?

:09:35
One way is to climb into an aircraft
we call the flying bedstead.

:09:39
The L.L.R.V.
The lunar landing research vehicle.

:09:44
- Right.
- Essentially, a big jet engine...

:09:47
turned on its end.
:09:48
Yeah.
It's a tricky machine.

:09:50
The demands it places
on a pilot...

:09:52
are very similar to the demands
I'll be facing making the moon landing.

:10:06
- Neil, you're clear to start.
- Roger.

:10:33
Five hundred feet.
:10:35
The winds are a little gusty.
:10:38
- You are go for lunar sim.
- Roger. Go for lunar sim.

:10:44
Computer to sim mode.
