lyrics

Taken from the Apollo 11 Flight Log, public affairs officer Jack King mans the radio communication from mission control shortly before the space craft lifted off Earth, aimed for the moon.

"We'll be coming up on the automatic sequence about 10 or 15 seconds from this time. All still Go at this time. Neil Armstrong reported back when he received the good wishes: "Thank you very much. We know it will be a good flight."

30 seconds and counting. Astronauts report, "It feels good". T minus 25 seconds.
Twenty seconds and counting. T minus 15 seconds, guidance is internal. Twelve, 11, 10, 9, ignition sequence starts...
...6, 5, 4...
...3...
...2, 1, zero, all engine running...,
LIFT-OFF! We have a lift-off, 32 minutes past the hour. Lift-off on Apollo 11."
