Had I been able
to find the damn thing.

:35:15
I'll be darned.
:35:18
- Isn't it in there?
- Let me look one more time.

:35:23
Wait. What's in your bag here?
:35:26
- It's just a film magazine.
- I'll try at this end.

:35:30
I knew I was wasting
precious time.

:35:33
If it didn't turn up quick, it would be
criminal to continue the search.

:35:37
- So...
- I've had it.

:35:40
- Forget it.
- All right.

:35:43
Let's mosey down there
and grab what we came here for.

:35:46
In 1967,
Surveyor's TV camera had broadcast...

:35:50
the first-ever television pictures
from the surface of the moon.

:35:55
We aimed
to take that camera home...

:35:57
so they could study
the long-term effects of the moon...

:35:59
on manmade machines.
:36:02
Getting it would mean we had completed
all of our mission objectives.

:36:06
We got her.
:36:13
I got it.
:36:16
Got something for you.
:36:17
After more than three hours
of hard work on the moon...

:36:20
I probably wasn't
the most imaginative person.

:36:23
Had I been thinking fully...
:36:25
that's when we would have taken
the picture with that timer.

:36:28
We could have shook hands
standing in front of Intrepid.

:36:32
It would have been a great picture,
but I didn't think of it.

:36:39
There was just one last thing to do.
:36:42
None of us had forgotten the reason
I was privileged enough to be there.

:36:45
We made it, C.C.
:36:48
We left C.C.'s wings
on the lunar surface.

:36:52
He's the reason there's four stars
on our mission patch, not just three.

:36:59
Then that was it.
