Description
Shots of Lunar Module (from Apollo 12) descending from the Command Module with the moon behind. Dolly move through a darkened mission control as we hear Gene Kranz asking for 'Go' confirmation from around the room. Onboard 16mm footage of the looming lunar surface at the Sea of Tranquility shot from the window of the Lunar Module. Audio talks them down to the landing with speech from Aldrin and Charlie Duke at Mission Control. Compilation ends with Armstrong's first steps filmed from the onboard TV camera on the adjacent leg of the lander.

Historic Context of Clip
Background to Apollo 11:
The Apollo 11 mission was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. It was the fifth human spaceflight of the Apollo programs, and the third human voyage to the moon. Launched on July 16, 1969, it carried Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin.

Landing:
On July 20, 1969 the Lunar Module, called Eagle, separated from the Command Module, Columbia to make its descent to the lunar surface. As the landing began, Armstrong reported they were "running long"; Eagle was 4 seconds further along its descent trajectory than planned, and would land miles west of the intended site. Armstrong's first words after landing were: "Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed."
