SELECTED

Neil Armstrong

primary

A 38-year-old astronaut with a lean, athletic build, short brown hair, and piercing blue eyes. His face bears the calm determination of a seasoned test pilot, with faint smile lines around his eyes. He moves with precise, economical motions honed by years of flight experience.

Buzz Aldrin

primary

A 39-year-old astronaut with a lean, athletic build, clean-cut features, and short-cropped dark brown hair. His face shows a mix of concentration and quiet excitement, with sharp eyes scanning instrument panels.

Michael Collins

secondary

A lean, athletic man in his late 30s with close-cropped brown hair and sharp blue eyes that constantly scan instrument panels. His face shows the focused intensity of a test pilot, with faint laugh lines around his eyes contrasting with his current serious expression.

Flight Director

secondary

A middle-aged man in his late 40s, with a lean but sturdy build, short-cropped salt-and-pepper hair, and a clean-shaven face. His sharp, observant eyes are framed by wire-rimmed glasses, and his posture exudes authority and focus. His hands are often in motion, either adjusting controls or holding a headset close to his ear.

Technician

background

A middle-aged man with a lean, wiry build, his face weathered from years of working outdoors. His short-cropped brown hair is slightly tousled under his cap, and he has a faint five o'clock shadow. His hands are calloused, and his posture suggests a lifetime of physical labor.

Spectator

background

A middle-aged man with a slightly sunburned complexion, sporting a short, neatly trimmed beard and wearing thick-rimmed glasses. His build is average, with a slight paunch indicative of a sedentary lifestyle. His hair is thinning and combed back, with streaks of gray at the temples.

Neil Armstrong Houston, this is Apollo 11. All systems are nominal. Standing by for final go/no-go.

Flight Director Apollo 11, this is Houston. You are go for launch. Repeat, go for launch.

Buzz Aldrin Copy that, Houston. Fuel cells at 100%, cabin pressure holding steady. Let's light this candle.

Neil Armstrong Roger. T-minus 60 seconds and counting. All quiet on the home front.

Buzz Aldrin Never thought I'd be sitting on top of 7.5 million pounds of thrust and calling it 'quiet'.

Flight Director 30 seconds. All stations report go. Godspeed, Apollo 11.

Neil Armstrong Thank you, Houston. We're about to make history... one small step at a time.
