We're picking up your heavy footsteps
going by the seismometer.

:29:06
- It's great.
- Our bosses couldn't see us...

:29:09
but now they knew
how fast we were working.

:29:11
Man, are you dirty.
This is dirt dirt.

:29:14
Remember how they took care
of these experiments?

:29:16
In training you needed gloves
to touch them.

:29:18
Tell them it's important
to keep the experiments free of dust.

:29:23
Dr. Wilson asks you guys
not to forget...

:29:25
to keep the connectors
and experiments free of dust.

:29:33
Roger.
:29:37
Dirt or no dirt,
everything worked fine.

:29:40
While we were laughing
and chatting away...

:29:42
poor Dick was trying
to get work done.

:29:45
Okay, Clipper. You did not copy
all of that PAD. Is that affirm?

:29:48
Ed, if you want to talk to me,
you'll have to take it off relay...

:29:51
so Pete and Al won't cut you out.
:29:53
It's impossible to hear anything
with those guys yakking.

:29:58
There were so many things for us
to remember to do on the moon...

:30:02
that we needed some kind of cheat sheet
that would always be within reach.

:30:06
Both of us had drafted
a checklist to wear on our sleeves...

:30:09
but the actual flight item was made up
by the ground crew just before launch...

:30:13
and put in our suits
without our even seeing them...

:30:15
until we were on the moon.
:30:18
Thanks to Dave Scott
and the rest of our backup crew...

:30:21
we had a little extra
reading to do.

:30:29
Look at your checklist.
:30:40
That's the terrain for me!
:30:45
With a 30-minute extension
to our EVA...

:30:47
I was able to get the core sample tube
in and out of the ground.

:30:50
Pete and I got up
our first load of moon rocks.

:30:53
We dusted each other off,
then I started back up the ladder.

:30:58
Just like that, the first of my two
four-hour moon walks was over.
