: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...
:28:01
who have a long workday ahead.
:28:04
Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins
and Buzz Aldrin are mortal men...
:28:08
and yet their talents,
their disciplines and their choices...
:28:11
have placed them here,
in the third week of July, 1969...
:28:15
at a place and time
unique in the cosmos.
:28:19
These three men are on their way
to a distant place...
:28:22
where no man has gone before.
:28:24
With them go our dreams,
our desires and our good wishes...
:28:27
but not only for
their safe passage in return.
:28:31
We hope too for their efforts to signal
a transformation of our common globe...
:28:35
into a braver, bolder,
better world for us all.
