But it wasn't until Dick
made a flyover pass...

:23:03
that we found out how good a job
Pete had done bringing us down.

:23:10
Houston, I have Snowman.
:23:13
I believe I have the LEM
on the northwest corner of...

:23:17
I have Intrepid.
:23:23
He's the only thing
that casts a shadow down there.

:23:27
He's on the Surveyor crater...
:23:29
about a third of the way
on the Surveyor crater...

:23:32
to the head of the snowman.
:23:34
And I have Surveyor.
:23:37
Roger, Clipper.
Good eyeball. Well done.

:23:40
Ed, it's almost as good
as being there.

:23:45
Almost.
:23:47
Pete had done it.
:23:49
With the help of the targeting people
on the ground...

:23:51
he had proven that pinpoint accuracy
was possible when landing on the moon.

:23:56
He had set down our lunar module
a stone's throw away...

:23:59
from our primary mission objective...
:24:01
A short moon walk
of about 200 yards...

:24:04
just like he said he would.
:24:06
Not long after that...
:24:08
sometime very early in the morning
back in Houston...

:24:11
Pete Conrad proved something else.
:24:13
He proved to me and the world
just how eloquent a man he can be.

:24:18
Charles "Pete" Conrad, Jr.
:24:20
Only the third human being
to set foot on the moon.

:24:24
Who can forget Neil Armstrong's
immortal words.

:24:28
Let's watch and listen to the words
Conrad has chosen...

:24:31
to mark this moment in history.
:24:35
That may have been a small one for Neil,
but it's a long one for me.

:24:43
There you have it.
:24:47
After training with him for months,
we'd all become accustomed...

:24:50
to Pete's colorful use of language.
:24:55
You stupid...
:24:56
This thing's about to piss me off.
:24:58
I finally get the cocksucker turning,
then it locks up again.
