Capcom Charlie Duke Talks to The Crew Immediately after The Landing of Apollo 11  (FTV-0006029)
This text will be replaced

Description
This brief, soft focus view of Charlie Duke was filmed from in front of the Flight Director's console immediately after the touchdown of Apollo 11. He can be seen telling the crew that Houston can see that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin are venting pressure in the lunar module's oxider tanks. After that the film runs out.

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."
