:25:00
we gotta make sure we can do an
emergency transfer outside the craft.
:25:04
Which means, Rusty...
:25:06
you're gonna have to do an E.V.A. On the
PLSS backpack... the first use of that.
:25:10
Dave, we're gonna leave you alone
in the command module.
:25:13
First time that'll have happened.
:25:16
Then the real fun begins.
:25:18
First I pop the thruster,
see if the LEM can fly.
:25:20
If it can, Rusty and I fire the descent
engine, take her on its maiden voyage.
:25:24
We go out a hundred miles or so.
:25:27
God willing, the ascent engine lights...
first firing of that in space.
:25:30
Then Rusty and I head back to you...
:25:32
for the first docking of
a two-manned spacecraft.
:25:38
All right, so it's only nine things
that's never been done before.
:25:43
Give me a hand with the trailer.
:25:47
But you guys are right.
It's a lot for one mission.
:25:49
Maybe too much.
:25:51
If we get even half of it done
we can call it a success.
:25:55
I can't wait!
:25:59
While Scott went to Downey
to work on the command module...
:26:02
McDivitt and Schweickart
joined us on Long Island.
:26:07
So gentlemen, you wanna
go take the vehicle for a spin?
:26:10
- Gee, Dad. Can we?
- Sure.
:26:12
As long as you don't
bring her back empty.
:26:17
The hardest part of getting
the first LEMs to fly...
:26:19
was getting the thousands of systems
and subsystems to work together.
:26:23
Most of the time it was like having
a ballroom full of dancers...
:26:25
dancing different steps to music
that wasn't quite right for any of them.
:26:36
- Bring that T.L. Up.
- Roger, T.C.
:26:40
And T.T.C.A. Four jets down.
:26:43
Copy, T.C.
:26:46
T.T.C.A. Four jets down.
:26:52
Well, that can't be good.
