Les sons mytiques de l'aventure lunaire:
- Le discours de JFK (12 sept 1962), qui annonce les intentions de conquête de l'espace... sans trop savoir de quoi il parlait !
But why, some say, the Moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the Moon. We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not only because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
- Après un alunissage pénible (en pilotage manuel), le LEM se pose sur le sol lunaire:
Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed.
Roger, Tranquility. We copy you on the ground. You've got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're breathing again. Thanks a lot.
- Neil Armstrong pose le premier pas sur la Lune et lance la phrase qui restera célèbre:
That's one small step for (a) man; one giant leap for mankind.
