:07:00
'Cause we were the second mission
to land on the moon.
:07:03
History's ultimate anticlimax.
:07:05
Somehow, I fit right in.
:07:08
Flying with Pete and Dick was the
sweetest thing about the mission for me.
:07:11
We were a true team.
:07:14
At one point,
I even kind of saved the day.
:07:22
I didn't know what to expect.
I was a complete rookie.
:07:25
We'd done countless
simulated launches...
:07:27
so I did the same things
I did during all of those.
:07:30
Roger, STC. Main bus tie bat
B/C switch, on, up.
:07:34
I kept busy checking the console...
:07:35
making sure our command module,
Yankee Clipper, was ready to go.
:07:43
Looks like this launch
is gonna be a wet one.
:07:45
No big deal for an all-Navy crew.
We can handle it.
:07:47
The rain was considered a bother,
but nothing to worry about.
:07:49
Apollo 12,
you are go for launch.
:07:53
Roger. Go for launch.
:07:57
Me and my best buddies were ready
for the adventure of a lifetime.
:08:01
Al Bean,
you are going to the moon.
:08:03
Y'all can come along
if you like.
:08:06
13, 12, 11...
:08:09
ten, nine...
:08:12
We have ignition sequence start.
:08:14
The engines are on.
Four, three...
:08:16
two, one, zero.
:08:28
The first few moments after liftoff,
you're vibrating pretty good.
:08:33
- The clock is running.
- Then you really start to move.
:08:44
- Clear the tower.
- Roger. Clear the tower.
:08:47
I got a pitch-and-roll program,
and this baby is really going.
:08:53
Roll complete.
:08:54
- Mark one bravo.
- Got you on that.
:08:58
This thing moves, doesn't it?
