:42:06
You can go through all the manuals...
:42:09
all the procedures
and checklists...
:42:11
all the graphs and blueprints that show
how it's possible to do what we did...
:42:16
to go where we had gone.
:42:18
You might be impressed that such
a complicated thing was even attempted.
:42:23
So impressed even that you...
:42:24
wouldn't realize that the three people
who made the journey...
:42:27
and undertook all the challenges
contained within it...
:42:30
were, in essence...
:42:31
not that much different
from yourself.
:42:34
- Damn, that shower feels good.
- When it doesn't feel that good...
:42:38
you'll know you're officially home
from the moon.
:42:41
They should let us out of here.
I don't have any diseases.
:42:45
Me neither. I just want to grab me
some cajun food and a couple of beers.
:42:51
How about you, Al?
You back from the moon yet?
:42:55
Yeah, I'm back.
:42:58
I'm back from the moon.
:43:06
- What are you laughing at?
- Yeah. What's so funny?
:43:09
I don't think I'll ever forget...
:43:11
when all that good stuff
was lighting up...
:43:13
and then CAPCOM called up
SCE to auxiliary.
:43:17
I didn't know
what the hell that meant...
:43:19
and you were awfully quiet,
I might add.
:43:21
All I hear is Al Bean's voice,
two octaves higher than normal...
:43:24
saying, "I know what it is."
:43:28
The best record of what it was like
to have gone to the moon and return...
:43:31
is not in the tangible evidence
of the endeavor.
:43:34
It's not in the things we took
or brought back.
:43:39
It wouldn't have been
in the TV footage we never got...
:43:42
which I beat myself up over
for half the mission.
:43:45
It's in the individual
consciousness and vision...
:43:48
of the human beings
who made the trip.
:43:51
People like Dick Gordon,
Pete Conrad and even me.
:43:56
My, that sun is bright.
:43:59
It feels good.
