:06:02
like it said on the checklist.
:06:04
I guess I was so happy the parachutes
had worked that I said...

:06:08
"I'll just leave it there
on its window mount."

:06:12
That is stupid.
:06:13
If it had hit me
in the center of the forehead...

:06:15
it would have
probably killed me...

:06:17
which would have been
a really sad situation.

:06:19
- Hit the breakers.
- I'm doing it.

:06:28
- What?
- Are you okay?

:06:30
Yeah, I think so.
I'm fine.

:06:33
- Did you get knocked out?
- What?

:06:35
Actually, I had,
but I didn't realize it until later.

:06:39
Hell, the whole trip I didn't have
too much luck with cameras.

:06:44
I'll explain that later.
:06:47
Bump or not, I was alive and well.
So were my friends.

:06:50
We made it,
and we made it well.

:06:53
- Let me disinfect that for you.
- Ow!

:06:57
Maybe we weren't dignified enough
to be heroes. It wouldn't matter.

:07:00
'Cause we were the second mission
to land on the moon.

:07:03
History's ultimate anticlimax.
:07:05
Somehow, I fit right in.
:07:08
Flying with Pete and Dick was the
sweetest thing about the mission for me.

:07:11
We were a true team.
:07:14
At one point,
I even kind of saved the day.

:07:22
I didn't know what to expect.
I was a complete rookie.

:07:25
We'd done countless
simulated launches...

:07:27
so I did the same things
I did during all of those.

:07:30
Roger, STC. Main bus tie bat
B/C switch, on, up.

:07:34
I kept busy checking the console...
:07:35
making sure our command module,
Yankee Clipper, was ready to go.

:07:43
Looks like this launch
is gonna be a wet one.

:07:45
No big deal for an all-Navy crew.
We can handle it.

:07:47
The rain was considered a bother,
but nothing to worry about.

:07:49
Apollo 12,
you are go for launch.

:07:53
Roger. Go for launch.
:07:57
Me and my best buddies were ready
for the adventure of a lifetime.
