Deke's hand motion when A11 lands
In "In the shadow of the Moon", there is film of Mission Control at
the time Apollo 11 lands. Deke is on the left, then Charlie Duke, the Lovell, the (I think) Haize. At one point Deke is holding his hand level and motions up and down twice. What is that gesture for? To indicate that they have landed? Too tell people to hold down the noise? Something else? |
