Apollo XI - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

I believe this nation

Should commit itself

To achieving the goal

Of landing a man on the moon

And returning him safely to the earth

Ten, nine, ignition sequence start

Six, five, four, three, two, one

Zero, all engines running

Lift off, we have lift off

Thirty five minutes past the hour

Three hundred and sixty five feet

Of gleaming white equipment

Being pushed up through

The blue skies of Florida

Hello Neil and Buzz

I’m talking to you by telephone

From the oval room of the White House

For every American

This has to be the proudest day of our lives

Neil Armstrong

Buzz Aldrin

Mike Collins

This is Apollo control

Twenty seven thousand feet

We confirm ignition

And the thrust is go Everything is go This is Apollo control

At eleven hours twenty nine minutes

Apollo control and twenty two hours

Forty nine minutes

Eagle you’re looking great

Altitude still looking very good

Altitude three hundred thousand

Altitude forty thousand

Altitude now thirty three thousand five hundred feet

Altitude now twenty one thousand feet

Still looking very good

Altitude thirteen thousand five

Still looking very good

Eagle you’re looking great

Fourteen hundred feet

Altitude three hundred feet

Eagle you’re looking great

The Eagle has landed

It was beautiful from here

You’ve got a bunch of guys

About to turn blue

We’re breathing again

It’s one small step for man

One giant leap for mankind

This is the time of rejoicing

In New York, Chicago, Los Angeles

This is the time of rejoicing

Ticker tape parades

This is Apollo control

This is Apollo control

This is Apollo control

One giant leap for mankind
