Nervous?
:20:20
How did we get out here anyway?
:20:23
I just hope I can find
a place to land.

:20:25
And I hope I can
set it down all right.

:20:27
You'll do fine.
:20:29
You'll do just fine.
:20:34
Just don't bring her in
too low, too fast.

:20:39
Thanks a lot.
:20:41
- I'm just trying to help.
- Thanks very much.

:20:44
- You know I'm here for you.
- I know you are. Big help.

:20:48
Unlike Neil and Buzz...
:20:50
our mission called for us not just
to land wherever the ground looked good.

:20:53
On 11, they were lucky to land almost
three miles from where they had planned.

:20:57
But we had a target...
:20:59
which had been waiting for us
in the Ocean of Storms for two years:

:21:04
An unmanned probe
named Surveyor 3.

:21:07
If future missions were gonna
explore the moon in depth...

:21:11
Apollo 12 would have to demonstrate
a precise touchdown was possible.

:21:16
Forty-two feet. Coming down at three.
Start the clock.

:21:23
Forty. Coming down at two.
:21:24
Looking good.
Thirty-two.

:21:27
Thirty feet. Down at two.
:21:33
Plenty of gas, babe.
Hang in there. Eighteen feet.

:21:36
Coming down at two.
He's got it made.

:21:40
Come on in there.
Twenty-four feet.

:21:49
Contact light.
:21:50
Shit.
