:26:00
They've given us lots of time after
we land to fix any problems we have...

:26:04
but they've scheduled a four-hour
rest period before we do the E.V.A.

:26:08
What do you say we move the rest period
till after the E.V.A.?

:26:12
That way, if everything's shipshape
we'll get out there as soon as possible.

:26:26
- Get some sleep, Buzz.
- Yeah.

:26:32
Okay, let's shift gears here.
:26:35
Michael, tell me about
your design for the patch.

:26:38
You're the artist.
What does it mean?

:26:42
I cheated a bit
by copying the eagle...

:26:45
from a National Geographic.
:26:46
- We're not gonna hold that against you.
- Thank you.

:26:51
We all talked about it.
:26:53
The eagle, it's obvious,
is the LEM.

:26:55
It's also a symbol of America,
without being too overt.

:26:58
It carries an olive branch to show
that we go to the moon in peace.

:27:02
But your names aren't on it.
Why none of your names?

:27:05
Because going to the moon...
:27:08
is larger than us
as individuals.

:27:10
The Earth represents,
well, everyone...

:27:13
because the mission
is bigger than nations...

:27:18
or politics.
:27:19
What is significant...
:27:21
is that...
:27:23
for the first time
in the history of our civilization...

:27:27
a man is going to set foot
on the moon.

:27:31
Not that man's name.
:27:33
The only English word is "Apollo."
:27:35
That way the whole world can read it
and maybe claim it as their own.

:27:40
Well, if that's the case, why don't we
just let history record the rest.

:27:45
Good luck to you...
:27:47
and Godspeed Apollo 11.
:27:50
Thank you.
:27:53
At this moment
the crew is preparing...

:27:55
for the challenges
of the hours to come...

:27:58
more than likely with the attitudes
of professional men anywhere...
