:24:01
A short moon walk
of about 200 yards...
:24:04
just like he said he would.
:24:06
Not long after that...
:24:08
sometime very early in the morning
back in Houston...
:24:11
Pete Conrad proved something else.
:24:13
He proved to me and the world
just how eloquent a man he can be.
:24:18
Charles "Pete" Conrad, Jr.
:24:20
Only the third human being
to set foot on the moon.
:24:24
Who can forget Neil Armstrong's
immortal words.
:24:28
Let's watch and listen to the words
Conrad has chosen...
:24:31
to mark this moment in history.
:24:35
That may have been a small one for Neil,
but it's a long one for me.
:24:43
There you have it.
:24:47
After training with him for months,
we'd all become accustomed...
:24:50
to Pete's colorful use of language.
:24:55
You stupid...
:24:56
This thing's about to piss me off.
:24:58
I finally get the cocksucker turning,
then it locks up again.
:25:01
I'm spending more time trying to turn
these frigging bolts...
:25:06
than any goddamn else thing.
:25:11
Goddamn. Son of a...
Cocksucker. Goddamn it.
:25:16
Turn around
and give me a big smile.
:25:23
I had a special moment for myself
to mark my getting to the moon.
:25:27
When you are selected to become
a member of the astronaut corps...
:25:30
you wear a special silver pin.
:25:35
It gets replaced by a gold pin
when you actually fly a mission.
:25:39
I had worn my silver pin
for six years.
:25:41
Being selected for Apollo 12,
I wouldn't be needing it anymore.
:25:45
I wanted to put it in a special place
where it would rest forever.
:25:49
What better place
than in the Ocean of Storms.
:25:53
I joined NASA in the third group
of 14 astronauts in 1963.
:25:57
So did Dick Gordon
who flew with Pete in Gemini 11.
