Apollo 18 Page #2

Can you check me over?

It'd help if you

were a little smaller.

- Check my PLSS.

- Yup.

Houston...

...we're taking our first steps

on the south pole.

I prepared a speech, but no one

but us would hear it anyway.

No words can describe

how it feels to be here.

Rock formations everywhere.

The sun is low, on the horizon.

it's amazing.

Freedom, do you read?

...do you read?

Freedom reads you loud

and clear, Liberty. Over.

Yeah, yeah. Perfect.

You call that a salute?

OK, let me get a shot of you

with the LM in the background.

That looks like a Navy salute to me.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

I gotta get this.

Promised Laura and Ryan

I'd spend Christmas with them.

This is all goin' back

to the Department of Defense.

No one's ever gonna...

Completing Westinghouse setup.

Sounds good, Nate.

Standing by.

Motion sensor is tracking

you perfectly, Nate.

Captain Video says first round

is on him when you get back.

I'm checking

the payload in the MESA unit.

Sh*t!

What was that?

Houston, can you track

that power flux?

I'd like to get a fix

on the interference.

Roger, Nate. Looks like you're

ready to proceed to location one

- and initiate setup procedures.

- Copy. We're on our way.

Will you take a look at that?

It makes you think, doesn't it?

Damn, it's dusty.

I'm leaving the camera up here

so you can get a better view, Tommy.

And for your information,

we're about three hours

and 20 minutes...

it's hard to believe the sun never

shines in some of these places. Ever.

Careful, now, fellas.

You drop into any of those craters,

you'll get cold in a hurry.

PSD5 in place.

Roger.

Proceed with startup.

Did you record the signal

frequency on the PSD5 during training?

- It was ALSEP, wasn't it?

- Thought it was.

I think they changed it.

Set astral coordinates,

four-eight-point-three on the Z

and eight-niner-point-eight

on... Record.

Initiation sequence complete.

Houston, we're getting some noise

on the high-gain again.

Collecting geological samples near

what appears to be a... impact crater.

The sample feels...

...strange.

it's great

to get out of that gear.

four days,

Commander Nathan Walker.

DOD Mission Report Three-Charlie.

Day one, EVA-One complete.

I am starving.

What's on the menu tonight?

Carrots or peas?

I'll take carrots.

- No. You get the peas.

- Perfect.

I'm mighty proud of you, boys.

- You have a good time out there?

- You know it.

I'm gettin' a lot of noise

on this frequency.

I'm gonna see if I can isolate it,

maybe clean it up a bit.

Roger that.

Astronaut Ryan Anderson

with his dad, flying through space.

- Ryan, what are you doing?

- Just playing, Mom.

Don't play
