They just did the window roll about a minute or so after CBS graphics showed them doing that.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

You think it's too late for him to abort?
No, he still has time to get outta there, he just needs someone to wave him off.

Re: Apollo 11 - 50 years on.
What I'm a little surprised with was how CBS never showed a live shot from inside the MCC until almost six minutes after touchdown, and instead stayed with their simulation and live shot of the LM simulator in Long Island. Maybe that was because of the uncertainty about how successful the landing would be?“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

Re: Apollo 11 - 50 years on.
I love the fact that Cronkite even made a comment about how he just wants to shut up and let us listen to the audio in case something exciting happens.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

Re: Apollo 11 - 50 years on.
103:02:05 Armstrong Houston, the guys that said that we wouldn't be able to tell precisely where we are are the winners today. We were a little busy worrying about program alarms and things like that in the part of the descent where we would normally be picking out our landing spot; and aside from a good look 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 as yet.
103:02:43 Mission Control Roger, Tranquility. No sweat. We'll figure out - We'll figure it out. Over.
Jesus. 250,000 Miles from Earth. Two men alone in a phone booth on the Moon, and they don't have a clue where they're at.
103:05:03 Collins Sounds like it looks a lot better than it did yesterday - -
103:05:05 Armstrong ...
103:05:06 Collins - - at that very low Sun angle. It looked rough as a cob then.
103:05:13 Armstrong It really was rough, Mike. Over the targeted landing area, it was extremely rough, cratered, and large numbers of rocks that were probably some, many larger than 5 or 10 feet in size.
103:05:35 Collins When in doubt, land long.
103:05:41 Armstrong So we did.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”
