Apollo XI |
I believe this nation |
Should commit itself |
To achieving the goal |
Of landing a man on the moon |
And returning him safely to the earth |
Ten, nine, ignition sequence start |
Six, five, four, three, two, one |
Zero, all engines running |
Lift off, we have lift off |
Thirty five minutes past the hour |
Three hundred and sixty five feet |
Of gleaming white equipment |
Being pushed up through |
The blue skies of Florida |
Hello Neil and Buzz |
I’m talking to you by telephone |
From the oval room of the White House |
For every American |
This has to be the proudest day of our lives |
Neil Armstrong |
Buzz Aldrin |
Mike Collins |
This is Apollo control |
Twenty seven thousand feet |
We confirm ignition |
And the thrust is go Everything is go This is Apollo control |
At eleven hours twenty nine minutes |
Apollo control and twenty two hours |
Forty nine minutes |
Eagle you’re looking great |
Altitude still looking very good |
Altitude three hundred thousand |
Altitude forty thousand |
Altitude now thirty three thousand five hundred feet |
Altitude now twenty one thousand feet |
Still looking very good |
Altitude thirteen thousand five |
Still looking very good |
Eagle you’re looking great |
Fourteen hundred feet |
Altitude three hundred feet |
Eagle you’re looking great |
The Eagle has landed |
It was beautiful from here |
You’ve got a bunch of guys |
About to turn blue |
We’re breathing again |
It’s one small step for man |
One giant leap for mankind |
This is the time of rejoicing |
In New York, Chicago, Los Angeles |
This is the time of rejoicing |
Ticker tape parades |
This is Apollo control |
This is Apollo control |
This is Apollo control |
One giant leap for mankind |
