Here is a transcript of the NASA film "For all mankind" of Apollo 11. I've
tried to be as faithful as possible to the original, so please forgive me if
I've made any errors. Anything in square brackets are my comments. Anything
in round brackets is text appearing on the screen, in double quotes is voice

Over three billion years ago life first appeared in the seas of an infant Earth.
Over 400 million years ago living creatures left the protected waters to begin
life on land. About two million years ago the earliest man walked upright, on
the land. Two hundred four years ago, James Watt made improvements to the steam
engine and began the age of technology, forever altering the course of man. 
Sixty six years ago, two men named Wright again changed the pattern of life on
this planet. Today, men first left [the] atmosphere of Earth to walk in the
vacuum of the Moon.

And we may wonder, will our lives ever be the same. Will future generations
look back from the Earth, from another planet, from another star, and say `This
was the beginning'.

(APOLLO 11  FOR ALL MANKIND)

Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, Edwin `Buzz' Aldrin: Three men to represent
the culmination of a dream and the beginning of a new concept in reality.

So they rode through the atmosphere toward the open vacuum. A trip not only
through space, but through time. Toward a world untouched by the evolutionary
processes of Earth. A journey that was to be a door to the future and a window
on the past.

Now in Earth orbit it was time for Trans Lunar Injection, the start of the trip
out.

"Apollo 11, this is Houston err, slightly less than one minute to ignition and
everything is go." "Roger." "Ignition." "We confirm ignition and the thrust is 
go."

The burn completed, on their way to the Moon. The next step was to jettison
their launch vehicle, turn around, and dock with the Lunar Module, still
attached to the third stage. Pulling free now of the useless third stage they
continue their coasting flight.

"Ahh, Houston, Apollo 11. How many miles out do you have us now." "Err, roughly
about err, 50,000." "It's a beautiful sight."

So they coasted toward the Moon. As Jason sought the golden fleece to regain a
kingdom, these three sought a cargo of knowledge to gain a kingdom for all men,
a kingdom of infinite frontier. Then on July 19th, 1969, Apollo 11 prepared for
LOI, Lunar Orbit Insertion.

"11, Houston. You are go for LOI, over." "Roger, go for LOI." "And we've had
loss of signal as Apollo 11 goes behind the Moon."

Now, those of us on the Earth waited for the radio signal to be acquired as
Armstrong, Collins, and Aldrin emerged from their first transit behind the Moon.

"Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston. How do you read?" "Reading you loud and 
clear Houston. How about us?"

The next day, July 20th, marked the beginning of a new era. Mike Collins, alone
in the Command Module, called Columbia, watched as Neil Armstrong and Buzz 
Aldrin undocked the Lunar Module, called Eagle. As the Eagle rotated slowly,
Collins inspected it carefully, for now it was time for the descent to the
surface of the Moon, and into history.

"Eagle, Houston. We're all go." "How does it look?" "The Eagle has wings."
"Rog." "Looking good." "Roger Neil."

A seperation maneuver had placed the Command Module below the Eagle, so that
half an orbit later, there would be clearance for DOI, Descent Orbit Insertion.
Armstrong and Aldrin looked down at Columbia as they passed over the landing
site.

"Eagle, Houston. You are go for DOI, over." "Roger, go for DOI. Do you have LOS 
and and ALS on?" "Roger. Both looking good. Going over the hill."

Again, Eagle and Columbia passed behind the Moon. When they emerged, Eagle would
be on the way down, awaiting the signal that would begin powered descent and end
with man's first Lunar landing.

"Eagle, Houston. We read you now. You're go for PDI, over." "Roger, understand."
"Got the Earth right out our front window."

50,000 feet above the Moon, Eagle's descent engine ignited and began the
decceleration for landing. As they descended, Armstrong and Aldrin watched the
craters and mountains of the Moon pass beneath them.

"Eagle, Houston. You're go for landing, over." "Roger, understand. Go for 
landing."

At this point, the Eagle rolled onto its back, to give the landing radar
surface acquisition. Now the crew was flying blind, hurtling towards the Lunar
surface. Only their instruments and the voice of Mission Control telling them
where they were until the slow pitch maneuver brought the Lunar horizon to 
their view.

"100 feet [altitude], 3 and half [feet per second] down, 9 [feet per second] 
forward, 5% [thrust?]. 75. Height, 75 feet. ??? looking good, down a half, six
foward." "60 seconds [of fuel remaining]." "Lights on." "???, down two and a
half, forward, forward, ???, three feet down, two and a half. Three feet, two
and a half down, faint shadow. Four forward. Four forward. Drifting to the right
a little. ??? Down a half." "30 seconds" "Four forward, picking up some dust. 
Got your shadow out there." "Contact light." "OK, engine stop." "We copy you 
down Eagle." "Houston, err, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." 
"Roger Tranquility, we copy you on the ground. You got a bunch of guys about to 
turn blue. We're breathing again, thanks a lot." "Very smooth touchdown."

And from Mike Collins, alone in the orbiting Columbia.

"??? Eagle, is that Tranquility, over." "Yeah, I heard the whole thing." "Mike,
good show." "Tranquility, ahh, be advised there's lots of smiling faces in this 
room and all over the world, over." "And two of them up here." "Rog, that was a 
beautiful job you guys." "And don't forget one in the Command Module." "Rog."

"Now we'll get to the details of err, of what's around here, but it looks like
a collection of just about every variety of err, shape, angularity, granularity,
about every variety of rock you can err, find. Ahh, there doesn't appear to be
too much of general color at all." "We see some um angular blocks out err,
several hundred feet in front of us that are probably err, two feet in size and
have err, angular edges."

Now in the lesser gravity of the Moon, Armstrong and Aldrin donned their 
equipment and prepared to explore this stark lonely world.

"Ahh, do you think you can open the hatch at this pressure, about ahh, point one
two psi." "Ahh, we're gonna try it." "Roger." "Ahh, the hatch is coming open."

Guided by Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong in his bulky suit worked his way through
the Eagle's forward hatch.

"How I'm doin'." "You're doin' fine." "OK, Houston, I'm on the porch." "Roger, 
Neil." "Yeah, we're getting a picture on the TV." "I'm err, at the foot of the 
ladder. The LM footpads are only err, err, depressed in the surface about err, 
one or two inches. I'm gonna step off the LM now. That's one small step for man,
one giant leap for mankind." "There seems to be no difficulty in moving around 
here ??? and we suspect that err, its even, perhaps easier than the simulations 
in one sixth g that we performed err, on doing it in simulations on the ground. 
Basicly no trouble to err, walk around." "Ahh, that looks beautiful from here 
Neil." "It has a stark beauty all its own, its err, like much of the high desert
of err, the United States. Its err, different, but its very pretty out here."

Armstrong next set about taking pictures and collecting a contingency sample
of Lunar soil.

"The surface is fine and powdery. I can, I can pick it up loosely with my toe.
It does adhere in fine layers err, like err, powdered charcoal to the err, to 
the sole and and sides of my boots. I only go in err, small fraction of an inch,
maybe an eighth of an inch, but I can see the footprints of my err, boots and
the treads in the fine sandy particles."

Then it was time for Aldrin to join him.

"Are you  ready?" "All set." "Now I wanna err, back up and partially close the
hatch.  Making sure not to lock it on my out." "A-ha-ha. Particularly good
thought." "That's our home for the next couple of hours and we wanna take good
care of it." "There you go." "OK, now I think I'll do the thing." "Hey you got 
it?" "That's a good step." "Yep." "About a three footer. Beautiful, beautiful." 
"Isn't that something?" "Magnificant site out here." "Isn't it fun?"

Then the first man on the Moon read a plaque attached to a leg of the Eagle. A
plaque representing the philosophy of a nation that itself, less than two
centuries earlier had been thought by many so-called practical men an
impractical dream.

"Underneath it says `Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the
Moon, July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.' It has the crew members
signatures and the signature of the president of the United States."

And as we watched them plant the flag of the United States in the Lunar soil we
perhaps wondered, what dream dreamt today by what impractical dreamer will be
tomorrow's reality.

"Columbia, this is Houston, are you reading you loud and clear? Over." "Yeah,
reading you loud and clear, how's it goin'?" "Oh it's beautiful Mike, it really
is." "Oh gee, that's great. Is the lighting half way decent?" "Yes indeed.  They
got the flag up now. You can see the Stars and Stripes." "Beautiful, beautiful, 
just beautiful."

Now Buzz Aldrin developed the choerography for future Lunar explorers. The steps
with which those who follow will traverse the Moon.

"Ahh, you do have to be err, rather careful err, to keep track of where your 
center of mass is. Times it takes about two or three paces to err, make sure 
that you err, got your feet underneath you. That's about two or three or maybe 
four easy paces can bring you to a fairly smooth err, stop. Like a football 
player you just have to put out to the side and cut a little bit. So-called 
kangaroo hop. It does work but it seems moving forward ability is not quite as 
good."

"Ahh, Neil and Buzz, the president of the United States is in his office now and
would like to say a few words to you, over." "That would be an honour." "Go
ahead Mr. President. This is Houston, out." "Hello Neil and Buzz. I'm talking to
you by telephone from the Oval Room at the White House. And this certainly has 
to be the most historic telephone call ever made. Because of what you have done,
the heavens have become a part of man's burrow. And as you talk to us from the 
Sea of Tranquility it inspires us to redouble our efforts to bring peace and
tranquility to Earth. For one priceless moment, in the whole history of man, all
the people on this Earth are truly one. One in their pride in what you have done
and one in our prayers that you will return safely to Earth." "Thankyou Mr.
President. It's a great honour and privilege for us to be here representing not
only the United States, but men of peace of all nations and with interest and a
curiosity and with a vision for the future. It's an honour for us to be able to
participate here today."

As Armstrong and Aldrin set about the business of collecting samples and setting
up experiments, Earth observed them.

"Heart rates on both crewmen averaging between 90 and 100. Flight surgeon 
reports they're in great shape."

Watching their loping skating stride, it was as though we peered through a lens
that distorted time itself.

"Ahh, Houston, I don't think there's any hope for using this err, leveling 
device to come up with an accurate level." "Ahh, Roger 11, ahh, press on."  
"Would you believe, the ball is right in the middle now." "Wonderful, take a 
picture before it moves."

So they went about their tasks of exploration. Aliens on a distant world and
strangely enough, they looked as if they belong there.

"Boys, this is Houston. You have approximately three minutes until you must
commence your EVA termination activities, over." "Roger, understand."

It is now time to leave the dusty Lunar plain, stow the equipment, samples, and
photographs, to be returned to Earth.

"OK, the hatch is closed and latched and we're about secure."

Next, jettison the now useless equipment, clean house in Eagle, and rest for the
next day's lift-off and rendezvous.

"Eagle and err, Columbia, this is the backup crew. Our congratulations to
yesterday's performance and our prayers are with you for the rendezvous, over."
"Thankyou Jim." "Thankyou Jim."

For lift-off, the ascent engine would push the Eagle into orbit. For this one
maneuver, this engine would have to work. There was no alternative. We listen to
the countdown from the Moon.

"Our guidance recommendation err, is ping and you're cleared for take-off."
"Roger, understand. We're number one on the runway." "Nine, eight, seven, six,
five, fourth stage. Engine on ascent. Proceed. [lot's of static] seven. 
Beautiful. Twenty six, thirty six feet per second up [static] five. Pitch over.
Very smooth. Ahh, got lock." "Very quiet ride. There's that one crater down
there." "Going right down U.S. one." "Man, that's impressive looking isn't it?"

So they departed Tranquilty Base, pushed towards orbit by the ascent engine. Up
and away from man's first firm extraterrestrial foothold, across the harsh
pitted landscape of the Moon. Then, following rendezvous procedures developed
through Gemini and Apollo, Eagle drew nearer and nearer to Columbia. Alone in
Columbia, Mike Collins watched the Eagle's climb, it's flashing beacon a 
friendly signal. For hours he had kept his vigil. Now his companions were
returning. Control thrusters firing, Eagle and Columbia move together for
docking, the last movements of their Lunar duet. After the docking, the transfer
of the crew and their precious samples of the Moon to Columbia, the ascent stage
of the Eagle was jettisoned. It was time for the final burn in Lunar orbit,
Trans Earth Injection, TEI. Again we waited. Waited for Apollo 11 to emerge from
behind the Moon. Coming home.

"Hello Apollo 11, Houston. How did it go, over?" "Tell 'em to open the LRL doors
Charlie." "Roger, we got you coming home."

On the way home. Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins, and Buzz Aldrin. Then on July 
24th, the crew of Apollo 11 witnessed a final sunset over Earth's horizon and 
prepared for entry.

"Err, you're cleared for landing." "Rog, gears down and locked." "See you 
later."

Now the three men wearing Biological Isolation Garments entered the mobile
quarantine facility and their Earthly confinement.

"Neil, Buzz, and Mike, I want you to know that I think I'm the luckiest man in
the world and I say this not only because I have the honour to be president of
the United States, but particularly because I have the privilege of of speaking
for so many in welcoming you back to Earth. As a result of what you have done,
the world's never been closer together before, and we thankyou for that."

In reaching out for the Moon man has touched his destiny. But to obtain that
destiny we must take firm hold of that which we now only touched. Then reach
again. For these men, the first, were only the first.

From the Moon, Earth exists as a warm colorful sanctuary in the airless black of
space. But in our planetary system, Earth is the anomaly, the strange enviro-
ment. And now it is time, time for man to break free of his provincial planet, 
to expand, physically and mentally, into the future, into the universe, into 
reality. And this was the beginning.
