: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.
:18:01
But I'm afraid he's so consumed
by the physical task of landing...
:18:05
I don't know how much attention he's
prepared to give to the larger issue...
:18:09
of what we're doing
and what it means to the world.
:18:13
Some measure of attention should be paid
to the meaning of the task...
:18:17
by whichever one of us
takes that first step.
:18:23
Since the mission parameters
are still in the planning stage...
:18:26
and the order of the crew egress
is yet to be determined...
:18:29
I took the liberty
of calling George Low.
:18:33
He's one of the administrators.
:18:36
I told him that
for the good of the mission...
:18:39
a decision should be made
as to which of us...
:18:43
should get out first...
:18:44
Neil or myself.
:18:49
Hey, guys.
:18:57
Buzz, I got a call
from George Low.
:18:59
He told me you felt
a decision had to be made...
