Frist words from a human on the Moon
Worth reposting in the History Group.
Contact light. Shut down. Okay, engine off. Aca out of detent. Out of detent, auto. Mode control both auto ? Both auto. Descent engine command override off. Command override off. Engine arm, off. Engine arm, off. Four thirteen is in. If you listen carefully to the recorded audio, one notes the first words spoken by a human from the Moon's surface (even if it was technical suff) were by Buzz Aldrin. But Buzz once told me "people are not interested in details like that." |

In article , says... Contact light. Shut down. [...]Okay, engine off. If you listen carefully to the recorded audio, one notes the first words spoken by a human from the Moon's surface (even if it was technical suff) were by Buzz Aldrin. But Buzz once told me "people are not interested in details like that." Well, perhaps. Note that "Contact light" was when the LM was three feet above the Moon. There was some CDR/LMP chit-chat that was within the LM but was transmitted to Earth as almost a byproduct of landing on the Moon ("Contact light", etc.). The first words on the Moon directed to Earth were Armstrong's "Tranquility base, the Eagle has landed". Thats true 'Contact light" would have been when the probe touched the Lunar Surface. "Okay, enginee off." by Buzz was the first words. Plus the rest. You are right , I guess the proceedure was for Neil was to have his VOX off during later descent, but indeed you can hear him over Buzz's mike at the end of the check list. |
