Armstrong's first flight was as command pilot of the Gemini 8 mission in March 1966 - the sixth crewed mission of that series.Īrmstrong and pilot David Scott completed the first orbital docking of two spacecraft, joining their Gemini 8 spacecraft to an uncrewed Agena target vehicle. In 1962, Armstrong was selected to be part of NASA's second group of astronauts, who flew on the two-seat Gemini missions to test out space technology, and the three-seat Apollo missions that ultimately took 12 people to the surface of the moon. Beautiful view.NASA test pilot Neil Armstrong is seen here next to the X-15 ship #1 after a research flight. That's a good step.Īldrin: About a three footer. You've got three more steps and then a long one.Īldrin: I'm going to leave that one foot up there and both hands down to about the fourth rung up.Īrmstrong: A little more. It's a very simple matter to hop down from one step to the next.Īrmstrong: Yes, I found that to be very comfortable, and walking is also very comfortable, Houston. Now I want to back up and partially close the hatch making sure not to lock it on my way out.Īldrin: That's our home for the next couple of hours we want to take care of it. Īrmstrong: You're right at the edge of the porch.Īldrin: Small little foot movement. Just stand by a second, I'll move this over the handrail.Īrmstrong: All right, that's got it. Be advised that a lot of the rock samples out here, the hard rock samples have what appears to be vesicles in the surface.Īrmstrong: Yeah. It's different but it's very pretty out here. It's like much of the high desert of the United States. Houston: Oh, that looks beautiful from here, Neil.Īrmstrong: It has a stark beauty all its own. It's a very soft surface but here and there where I plug with the contingency sample collector I run into very hard surface but it appears to be very cohesive material of the same sort. Like it's a little difficult to dig through the crust.
That's good.Īrmstrong: The contingency sample is down and it's up. I'll step out and take some of my first pictures here.Īldrin: Are you going to get the contingency sample? Okay. The light is sufficiently brightly backlighted into the front of the LM that everything is clearly visible.
FIRST MAN ON THE MOON WINDOWS
in the windows and I can see everything quite clearly. Looking up at the LM, I'm standing directly in the shadow now looking up at.
I'll work my way over into the sunlight here without looking directly into the sun. It's quite dark here in the shadow and a little hard for me to see if I have good footing.
I only go in a small fraction of an inch, maybe an eighth of an inch, but I can see the footprints of my boots and the treads in the fine sandy particles. It does adhere in fine layers like powdered charcoal to the sole and the sides of my boots. That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. The LM** footpads are only depressed in the surface about one or two inches, although the surface appears to be very, very fine-grained as you get close to it. Houston: The what? We can see you coming down the ladder now.Īrmstrong: I'm at the foot of the ladder. But we can make out a fair amount of detail.Īrmstrong: Okay, will you verify the position, the opening I ought to have on the camera. Houston: There's a great deal of contrast in it and currently it's upside down on monitor. Houston: We're getting a picture on the TV. Read some of their remarks on that historic occasion.Īrmstrong: Okay, Houston*, I'm on the porch.Īldrin: Halt where you are a minute, Neil.Īldrin: Everything's nice and straight in here.Īrmstrong: Okay, can you pull the door open a little more?
