The Eagle has landed." Here are excerpts from the conversation just after the lunar landing: MISSION CONTROL: Roger, Tranquillity. We copy you on the ground. Yon got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're. breathing - again. Thanks a lot." EAGLE (Armstrong): Thank you . . . That may have seemed like a very long fn»l phase. The auto targeting was taking us right into a football field size,' uhr football "field size crater. There's a large number of big boulders and rocks for about ana' or two crater diameters araund it. And it required us to plunk down in P66 (non-automatic flight) and fly in manual)? over the rock field to find a reasonably good area. We'll get to the details of What's around here but it kxfts like a collection of just about every variety of shape, angularity, granularity, and ever? variety of rock you could find. The colors, well, it varies pretty much depending on how you're looking relative to the . . . There doesn't appear to be too much of a general color at all; however, it looks as though some of the rocks and boulders, of which there are quite a few in the near area, it looks as though they're going to have some interesting colors to them. Color on Surface EAGLE (Aldrin): I'd say the color of the local surface is very comparable to that we observed from orbit at this sun angle, about 10 degrees sun angle, or that nature. It's pretty much without color. It's gray, and it's very white, chalky gray as you look into the zero phase line and it's considerably darker gray, more like ash, ashen gray as this light gray on the hut whereltear've been broken they display a dark, very das gray interior.. . .

It was extremtij rough cratered and lasya numbers of rocks that am# probably anna many largar than 5 or 10 feet in size. But we did. EAGLE (Armstrong): Yon might be interested to know that I don't think we notice any difficulty at all in adapting to 1-eG (one-sixth of esrth's gravity). It seems immediately natural to move in this environment. MSC: Roger, Tranquillity, we copy, over. EAGLE (Armstrong): astronomer. Sir Bernard Lovell, said: (There) is a relatively level plain cratered with a fairly large number of craters of the five to 50 foot variety and some ridges, smell 30, 90 feet high, I would guess. And literally thousands of little one and two-foot craters around the area. We see some angular blocks several hundred feet in front of us that are probably two feet in siie and have angular edges. There is a hill in view just about on the ground track ahead of us. Difficult to estimate but might be a half a mile or a mile. EAGLE: The guys that said we wouldn't be able to teD precisely where we are are the winners today. We were a little busy worrying about program alarms and things like that in the nart of the descent where we would normally be picking out our landing spot. And aside from a good lode at several of the craters we came over in the final descent, I haven't been able to pick out the things on the horizon as a reference ai yet. MC: Right, Tranquillity, no sweat. We'll figure it out. EAGLE (Armstrong, about two hours after landing): Our recommendation at this point is planning EVA (moonwalk) with your concurrence starting at about 8 o'clock this evening Houston time. That iir about three hours from now. MC: Stand by. EAGLE (Armstrong): We'll give you some time to think about that. MC: Tranquillity Base, Houston: We've thought about it. We will support it. We are go at that time, over. EAGLE (Armstrong): Roger. MC: You guys are getting prime time TV there. EAGLE (Armstrong): Hope that little TV set (meaning the camera that is to transmit his stepping down on the moon) works. We'll see. EAGLE (Armstrong): That'd (8 o'clock) be the hatch opening.

At 1:41 * pjn., EDT Armstrong and Aldrin emerged from behind tha moon in an orbit that would take them te within 9 J miles of the moon's surface. "Listen babe, everything's going just swimmingly, beautiful, Collins reported as the command ship first appeared arand the near side of the moon. He said the landing craft was "earning along" behind. Radio signals were received from Columbia at 1:47 p.m. EDT on the 14th orbit. Two minutes later, Eagle's signals were received by ground stations. Columbia was flying ahead of Eagle, which was slowing down. Lose Contact "Columbia Houston, we've lost all data with Eagle," Duke said daring a momentary loss of communications while antennas were being switched. Then Armstrong radioed Earth without any sign of the static that interrupted radio communications a few seconds earlier. Armstrong reported that the firing had dropped Eagle into the proper orbit. "Looks great," capsule com municator Charles Duke said. "Eagle, Houston, if you read, you are go for a powered descent," Duke radioed the landing pilots at 4 p.m. EDT. "Roger understand," replied Armstrong. "Mark, 3:30 to ignition," Duke radioed the astronauts prior to the start of their descent. The astronauts cooly read off switch positions gauge readings to each other in the final minutes before firing their landing engine the final time. Armstrong then fired the big engine, throttling it to 10 per cent of its total thrust. Seconds after Armstrong reported 10 per cent thrust, communications were interrupted briefly by the thrust. Then the astronauts reported again to earth. There were no problems. "Eagle, we've got you now. It's looking good," said Duke.
