:40:03
Careful not to flip any breakers
with anything hanging out.
:40:06
Attitude: Dead minimum.
:40:08
When we were out of our suits...
:40:09
we had to strap in
and jettison the lunar module.
:40:12
- Spacecraft control SCS.
- All right.
:40:14
We're all set to jettison the LEM
in about a minute.
:40:18
You know,
if we were to lose the hatch...
:40:23
when we blow the LEM...
:40:25
and one day someone was to find us
floating around up here like this...
:40:29
they might be pretty confused.
:40:34
At least we'll go out of this world
the same way we came in.
:40:39
You two.
:40:41
You didn't come into the world
in that suit?
:40:44
Man, I hope not.
:40:46
After a day
of lunar orbit photography...
:40:48
getting stereo photos of possible
landing sights for Apollo 13 and 14...
:40:53
and when every piece
of equipment was stowed...
:40:54
and checked off the flight plan...
:40:58
we prepared for the big burn
that would take us home.
:41:01
HRB forward, check.
:41:03
All right.
We're just waiting for the DSKY.
:41:20
I feel sort of like that song:
:41:23
Is That All There Is?
:41:30
I was just thinking
the exact same thing.
:41:36
Not that it wasn't amazing.
:41:38
Just that the whole experience
didn't feel like a headline.
:41:41
It was real,
and I had lived it.
:41:45
Falling through the sky
after a trip to the moon...
:41:48
is no more surreal an experience
than getting there in the first place...
:41:52
or walking on its surface.
:41:57
It's just one more step,
one more planned event...
:41:59
that comes about because of science
and imagination and effort.
