[00:00.00] Houston, the MESA came down all right....
[00:00.00] Houston, the MESA came down all right.
[00:03.80] (This is) Houston. Roger. We copy. Standing by for your TV.
[00:21.34] Houston, this is Neil. Radio check.
[00:24.25] Neil, this is Houston. Loud and clear. Break. Break.
[00:27.26] Buzz, this is Houston. Radio check, and verify TV circuit breaker in.
[00:35.22] Roger, TV circuit breaker's in. And read you loud and clear.
[00:41.82] Roger.
[00:45.15] And we're getting a picture on the TV.
[00:50.13] You got a good picture, huh?
[00:52.40] There's a great deal of contrast in it; and currently it's upside-down on our monitor, but we can make out a fair amount of detail.
[01:09.20] Okay. Will you verify the position - the opening - I ought to have on the (16 mm movie) camera?
[01:15.90] Stand by.
[01:29.76] Okay. Neil, we can see you (on the TV) coming down the ladder now.
[01:40.23] Okay. I just checked getting back up to that first step, Buzz.
[01:44.76] It's...The strut isn't collapsed too far, but it's adequate to get back up.
[01:51.42] Roger. We copy.
[01:52.54] Takes a pretty good little jump (to get back up to the first rung).
[02:02.27] Buzz, this is Houston. F/2 (and)...
[02:04.40] Okay, I'm at the...
[02:05.70] ...1/160th second for shadow photography on the sequence camera.
[02:12.24] Okay.
[02:14.65] I'm at the foot of the ladder.
[02:16.82] The LM footpads are only depressed in the surface about 1 or 2 inches, although the surface appears to be very, very fine grained, as you get close to it.
[02:33.80] It's almost like a powder. (The) ground mass is very fine.
[02:50.73] Okay. I'm going to step off the LM now.
[03:01.75] That's one small step for (a) man; one giant leap for mankind.
[03:16.50] Yes, the surface is fine and powdery.
[03:21.00] I can kick it up loosely with my toe.
[03:25.65] It does adhere in fine layers, like powdered charcoal, to the sole and sides of my boots.
[03:38.00]
