Hey, Beano, turn around
and give me a big smile!
:04:24
My name is Al Bean.
:04:26
That's me, standing in the Ocean
of Storms on November 21, 1969.
:04:35
There I am again,
five very heady days later...
:04:38
aboard our recovery ship where they
set up a quarantine trailer...
:04:41
for me and my two crewmates:
:04:44
Pete Conrad, my skipper...
:04:46
and Dick Gordon,
our command module pilot.
:04:49
They were Gemini veterans
who are about as cool as they come.
:04:54
Everyone knew they'd be going
to the moon, unlike me.
:04:57
This was my first space flight.
:04:59
I would be forever known as the fourth
man to set foot on the lunar surface.
:05:05
Pete and Dick wanted to be
on the first landing...
:05:07
but I'd have been happy
to be on the 93rd.
:05:13
Funny, Beano. You're a dead man!
:05:20
Crying out loud, I had the President
of the United States calling me.
:05:23
Good morning, Mr. President.
:05:24
Me, Al Bean. Last guy
in his astronaut group to even fly.
:05:29
- We take our jobs very seriously.
- The commander in chief...
:05:30
promoted all three of us
to Navy captains.
:05:32
Thank you very much, sir.
Yes, sir.
:05:36
Congratulations, Captain Bean.
Captain Gordon.
:05:38
- Captain Conrad. Captain Bean.
- Captain Conrad. Captain Gordon.
:05:41
People were treating me
with great care...
:05:43
making sure we hadn't come home
with any alien diseases.
:05:46
Careful not
to puncture his brain, Doc.
:05:48
That is very funny, Dick.
You're a very funny pilot.
:05:52
We hadn't, but one of the cameras
conked me pretty good during splashdown.
:05:58
It was my own damn fault.
:05:59
I was supposed to remove it
and put it under my seat...
