I've been reviewing
the flight plan...

:16:06
both the current one and last year's,
as well as the Gemini flight plans...

:16:10
and there's something I think could bear
some scrutiny as we head into the sims.

:16:17
Neil, it's this question about
which one of us should get out first.

:16:21
Have you given that any thought?
:16:25
To be honest with you, Buzz, I've
been more concerned with the landing.

:16:29
In Gemini the pilot did the E.V.A.
While the commander stayed on board.

:16:33
Buzz, look.
:16:37
I appreciate the historical
significance of this thing...

:16:41
and I'm not gonna
rule anything out right now...

:16:44
but whatever we decide...
:16:45
it should be what's best
for the mission.

:17:01
Have you given it any thought?
:17:03
I wish it wasn't even an issue.
:17:06
I'd rather be
on the second landing...

:17:08
so we could just worry about the science
and not the eyes of history or whatever.

:17:15
Have you thought about
asking for another mission?

:17:19
Yeah. But you can't.
:17:22
I go on 11,
or I don't go at all.

:17:28
Do you want to get out first?
:17:32
Well, it might as well be me.
:17:36
Don't you think?
:17:39
Yes.
:17:41
I do.
:17:45
Walking on the moon
will be a tangible achievement...

:17:48
but what it will represent is
where all of mankind is right now...

:17:52
and what we can do
and where we can go...

:17:55
if we put to use
the great gifts we've been given.

:17:59
God love Neil.
He's a good man.
