Neil Armstrong All systems nominal. We're go for launch.

Buzz Aldrin Roger that. Main engine sequence initiated - feels like we're solving for X with the whole world watching.

Michael Collins Copy. Houston confirms T-minus 30 seconds. Everyone's breathing just got real shallow down there.

Neil Armstrong Steady now. Remember - this machine was built by the best minds in the country.

Buzz Aldrin Ten seconds... God, look at that ignition sequence - like a thousand suns waking up under us.

Michael Collins Five seconds. Let's hope those F-1 engines don't decide today's the day to be temperamental.

Neil Armstrong Liftoff. We are go.
