We need something,

I don't know, anything!

Will this work?

Let me help you.

Come on, harder!

You did it, Aldrin.

I did, didn't I?

Let's get out of here.

I love toasted olives.

Apollo 11, you have been cleared

to commence lunar module docking.

Roger that, Houston.

Come home soon, my little dreamer.

Houston, lunar module is

docked and secure.

Good work, Commander.

Commander Armstrong,

this is Houston.

Are we ready to begin transfer

to the lunar module?

- Ready as can be, Houston.

-You may proceed.

This is it, guys.

Time to hitch a ride to the moon!

Wow, look at that moon.

It's shining like a spoon.

This is so cool.

Guys, what's that?

- What's happening?

- We've got to get out of here.

Whoa, what was that?

IQ, wake up.

Scooter, please wake up.

What have I done?

Okay.

On the count of three,

we give it everything we've got.

All right?

Ready. One, two, three!

Pull! Pull! Pull! Pull!

Houston, we are ready to begin

first phase of lunar descent.

You may proceed.

Scooter! You're alive!

What? Of course I'm alive.

- What happened?

- Some kind of numbing spray, I suspect.

You're both alive!

Yeah, but for how much longer?

We're stuck in a glass tube.

How are we gonna get out of here?

Wait. Let me help you.

Ready? Push!

It won't move!

You know, IQ, if you'd help us,

maybe we could get this cap off.

I have a better idea.

If we all combined our energy mass

and apply it to the tube

from the same intersection,

we might be able to dislodge ourselves,

thereby creating a natural momentum

to carry us over the edge.

- You mean push the tube over and break it?

- Yeah.

Why didn't you just say that?

All together.

Come on, harder!

We're doomed.

Houston,

we've begun our descent.

It seems we are off target

by at least four miles.

Copy that, Apollo 11.

It's gonna be a rough landing if we

stay with these coordinates, Houston.

We're going to have to switch over

to manual.

Can you bring her down yourself?

Roger that, Houston. Let's give it a go.

We're approaching the southwest

edge of the Sea of Tranquility.

Houston, we're experiencing some

communication breakup. Do you copy?

Nine hundred feet,

coming down at 23 degrees.

- Houston, do you copy?

-Stand by, Apollo 11.

Eight hundred feet, 21 down.

Apollo 11,

we are assessing the situation.

Be prepared for possible abort

on lunar landing. Do you copy?

Copy that.

Oh, come on, boys.

Get your butt into it, come on.

Take us surfing

Take us surfing

We're awaiting word

from mission control in Houston.

Everyone here is engaged

in a tremendous enterprise.

The excitement is palpable.

Apollo 11, we've established the cause

of our communication breakdown.

Due to unanticipated radar data,

we've gotten a bit bottlenecked.

We've alleviated the problem.

You are good to go.

Roger that, Houston.

Four hundred down and nine.

Still have lots of vibration.

Great. Now, what?

Weightlessness.

Gosh, I didn't think about that!

On this incredible occasion,

the world's eyes are on

what is happening in Houston.

These adventurers are going to be

performing something

which has obviously

never been done before.

Oh, guys, we're about to meet

that energy mass you were talking about.

We've got shadow out here.

Thirty feet,

two and a half down.

Roger that, Apollo 11.

Houston, Tranquility Base.

The Eagle has landed.

- We're on the moon!

- We are on the moon!

Did you hear something?

- I thought I did for a moment there.

- Never mind. We did it, Commander.

- Nat's on the moon! Nat's on the moon!

- Nat's on the moon! Nat's on the moon!

Yes, he is, sweethearts.

I'll be. Our boy's on the moon.

Hey, you're not fainting!

- No more fainting, Dad.

- That's my girl!

Good work, you guys.

I'll be waiting for you when you get back.

Good work, Commander.

Okay. I guess it's time for me to suit up.

It looks like there's only gonna be

one of them walking on the moon.

Nat, we wouldn't be here

if it weren't for you. You go.

Houston, we're good to go.

We'll support you, Commander.

I'm at the foot of the ladder.

The lunar module footpads

are only depressed in the surface

about one or two inches.

The surface appears to be

very, very fine grain.

As you get close to it,

it's almost like powder.

That's one small step for man,

one giant leap for mankind.

I can't believe it. I'm on the moon!

Well, I'll be.

What was that, Commander?

Didn't copy.

Nothing, Houston.

Just talking to myself.

Look at the Americans!

They are walking on the moon!

This is fantastic.

You idiot! Idiot! Idiot!

Where is Nadia?

I have not seen her

for several days, Comrade.

How strange.

Come in! The door's open!

Hello, my name is Nadia. I come to America.

Oh, my lord of the flies!

Maggots!

Come in, come in.

Children very crazy, no?

- What's all the commotion? I was...

- Hello, Amos.

Nadia! Why are you...

How did you get here, let alone find me?

Darling, it too long time

for many questions.

- You have beautiful wife and...

- No. I'm his daughter.

Your grandson, he in big, big danger.

- What? My Nat?

- Yes. I tell you.

Many flies in my country

very angry about moon mission.

They not stop. They want to make sure

your son and friends do not come home.

Ain't nobody gonna hurt Nat.

Russian operative

inside your command center here.

- He must be stopped!

- Who is this Russian operative?

His name is Yegor.

He have bad scar on face,

twitch like locomotive

down slippery slope.

- Dad, what are you doing?

- No need to worry about me.

The Russians have got to be stopped.

I'll bring our boys home.

Amos, be careful.

Houston, we are preparing

for departure and re-docking.

Copy that, Apollo 11.

Hey, any of you guys hungry?

Apollo 11, you have been cleared

to commence pre-checklist

- for lunar module docking.

- Roger that, Houston.

Houston,

we have left the moon.

Copy that, Apollo 11.

Where's Scooter? Scooter?

Hey, what's going on? Where are we?

Wow.

Houston, we are leveling out

in our orbital pattern.

Job well done, men.

It's too small. Help me.

Everything is in place.

Yegor handle diversion

when re-entry begin.

We move into action,

reset new landing coordinates.

Ah, not worry, Comrade. I not fail you.

Make sure you don't.

Go! Do not arouse suspicion.

Too much.

Commencing to re-dock.

Houston, lunar module

is docked and secure.

Houston, we are moving back

to the command module.

Houston, we are commencing

lunar module disengagement phase.

Scooter!

Where is he?

We're back in the command module.

- What?

- Oh, no!

Scooter's going to be left behind!

He's still in the lunar module.

We have to get him out!

- I'm going in after him.

- No, wait! Nat!

Commencing lunar module

disengage in 15 seconds.

Hey, Nat. Where have you been?

They're gonna disconnect

this part of the ship

- from the command module.

- Cool!

No! Not cool.

If we don't get out of here,

we'll be left behind in space!

- Hurry, Scooter, hurry!

- I'm stuck! I can't move!
