who have a long workday ahead.

Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins
and Buzz Aldrin are mortal men...

:28:08
and yet their talents,
their disciplines and their choices...

:28:11
have placed them here,
in the third week of July, 1969...

:28:15
at a place and time
unique in the cosmos.

:28:19
These three men are on their way
to a distant place...

:28:22
where no man has gone before.
:28:24
With them go our dreams,
our desires and our good wishes...

:28:27
but not only for
their safe passage in return.

:28:31
We hope too for their efforts to signal
a transformation of our common globe...

:28:35
into a braver, bolder,
better world for us all.

:29:11
Done.
:29:26
Everything looks good in here.
:29:32
You're front-page news pretty much
everywhere in the world, boys.

:29:36
Oh, Neil, you'll be happy to know
the Russian newspaper Pravda...

:29:39
is calling you
the czar of the mission.

:29:42
Well, the czar is brushing his teeth
right now, but I'll pass that along.

:29:46
Roger that.
:29:48
Among the large headlines
concerning Apollo this morning...

:29:50
there's one asking that you watch out
for a lovely girl with a big rabbit.

:29:55
An ancient Chinese legend says
that a beautiful girl named Chongo...

:29:58
has been living up there
for 4,000 years.
