:18:02
I just hope
I didn't disappoint anyone.
:18:05
What the fuck happened up there?
:18:11
Forget it. Let's go.
:18:12
What happened was
I had screwed up.
:18:15
No one would ever get to see
any more of us walking on the moon.
:18:18
Not even Dick, who was stuck in orbit
while we explored the surface.
:18:21
I felt bad about that...
:18:24
but flying solo in Yankee Clipper
was considered more important...
:18:27
than being the commander's sidekick
on the moon.
:18:30
Got it. Lock inner mast.
Lock outer mast.
:18:32
Extend locked legs.
We've done that.
:18:37
I clearly remember the last moments
we spent before we separated.
:18:42
We could have never gotten down there or
home again if it weren't for that man.
:18:55
In all the time
we trained together...
:18:58
Dick Gordon never once showed resentment
when people would introduce me...
:19:00
as "the guy who was going
to the moon with Pete Conrad."
:19:06
Never a trace of sarcasm.
Never an ironic remark.
:19:10
He was in line
for a command of his own.
:19:12
He was holding out
to walk on the moon on Apollo 18.
:19:17
Unfortunately,
there never was an Apollo 18...
:19:19
so this was as close
as he ever got.
:19:34
I guess we gotta close her up now.
:19:37
I wish this son of a bitch
fit three people.
:19:40
At that moment,
with all the challenges ahead of us...
:19:43
all I could think was one thought:
:19:45
Sure hope I see you again.
:19:48
Of course,
I never said it out loud.
