helicopter vectored that way. It looks like a red dot
with a long, long tail. A long plume.
That's got to be the spacecraft. That has to be
Apollo 10 reentering. And so,
the flight of Apollo 10 has performed the major
function of its mission. It has proved, through these
daring three astronauts, that all of the systems
work properly and that there should be no reason why
man cannot, perhaps as early as July, land on that picked spot
on the Moon's equator. These are sailors of the sky,
and what we've seen and heard today make the great ocean
voyages of the earthbound seem, well, earthbound indeed. For as the poet wrote,
the crew of Apollo 10 has "slipped
the surly bonds of Earth" and carried us over
into tomorrow. In the past few hours, man has come closer to the
Moon than ever in his history. There were those
terrifying moments when... Mom, what's wrong?
Hmm?

...helicopter vectored that way.
00:00:02.009 --> 00:00:05.009
It looks like a red dot
with a long, long tail.
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.002
A long plume.
That's got to be the spacecraft.
00:00:08.003 --> 00:00:10.007
That has to be
Apollo 10 reentering.
00:00:11.008 --> 00:00:14.002
And so,
the flight of Apollo 10
00:00:14.003 --> 00:00:18.001
has performed the major
function of its mission.
00:00:18.002 --> 00:00:21.002
It has proved, through these
daring three astronauts,
00:00:21.003 --> 00:00:23.901
that all of the systems
work properly
00:00:24.012 --> 00:00:28.501
and that there should be no reason why
man cannot, perhaps as early as July,
00:00:28.601 --> 00:00:32.501
land on that picked spot
on the Moon's equator.
00:00:32.601 --> 00:00:36.401
These are sailors of the sky,
and what we've seen
00:00:36.501 --> 00:00:41.901
and heard today make the great ocean
voyages of the earthbound seem,
00:00:42.767 --> 00:00:44.767
well, earthbound indeed.
00:00:44.101 --> 00:00:47.101
For as the poet wrote,
the crew of Apollo 10
00:00:47.201 --> 00:00:50.201
has "slipped
the surly bonds of Earth"
00:00:50.301 --> 00:00:52.767
and carried us over
into tomorrow.
00:00:52.101 --> 00:00:53.301
In the past few hours,
00:00:53.401 --> 00:00:56.101
man has come closer to the
Moon than ever in his history.
00:00:56.401 --> 00:00:58.801
There were those
terrifying moments when...
