:17:02
I hit on the top with my hammer.
We didn't have a thing to lose.
:17:06
- Skillful fix.
- Yeah. I hit it with this hammer.
:17:10
That's skilled craftsmanship.
Let me try it again.
:17:24
We're still not getting a good picture,
and you're running a tad behind.
:17:28
Press on and we'll try to get back
to it later if we have time.
:17:32
Houston, let me move it around
so the back is to the sun.
:17:36
Maybe that will help.
:17:38
When all was said and done,
nothing happened.
:17:40
It's hard to get a TV repairman
to make a house call in Anytown, USA...
:17:44
and impossible,
of course, on the moon.
:17:47
The vidicon tube
was fried beyond repair...
:17:49
so that was the end of color TV
from the Ocean of Storms.
:17:53
They probably knew on the ground
exactly what I had done wrong...
:17:56
but nobody wanted
to say anything.
:17:58
From Houston,
this is Emmett Seaborn.
:18:02
I just hope
I didn't disappoint anyone.
:18:05
What the fuck happened up there?
:18:11
Forget it. Let's go.
:18:12
What happened was
I had screwed up.
:18:15
No one would ever get to see
any more of us walking on the moon.
:18:18
Not even Dick, who was stuck in orbit
while we explored the surface.
:18:21
I felt bad about that...
:18:24
but flying solo in Yankee Clipper
was considered more important...
:18:27
than being the commander's sidekick
on the moon.
:18:30
Got it. Lock inner mast.
Lock outer mast.
:18:32
Extend locked legs.
We've done that.
:18:37
I clearly remember the last moments
we spent before we separated.
:18:42
We could have never gotten down there or
home again if it weren't for that man.
:18:55
In all the time
we trained together...
:18:58
Dick Gordon never once showed resentment
when people would introduce me...
