Who said it: some guys on a conference call, trying to get a job done:
Out of town guys:
540 feet, down at 30 . . . down at 15 . . . 400 feet down at 9 . . . forward . . . 350 feet, down at 4 . . . 300 feet, down 3 1/2 . . . 47 forward . . . 1 1/2 down . . . 13 forward . . . 11 forward? coming down nicely . . . 200 feet, 4 1/2 down . . . 5 1/2 down . . . 5 percent . . . 75 feet . . . 6 forward . . . lights on . . . down 2 1/2 . . . 40 feet? down 2 1/2, kicking up some dust . . . 30 feet, 2 1/2 down . . . faint shadow . . . 4 forward . . . 4 forward . . . drifting to right a little . . . O.K. . . .
Local guy: 30 seconds
Out of town guys: Contact light! O.K., engine stop . . . descent engine command override off . . .
Local guy: We copy you down, Eagle.
Out of town guys: Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.
Local guy: 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.
Out of towners: Thank you . . . That may have seemed like a very long final phase. The auto targeting was taking us right into a football-field-sized crater, with a large number of big boulders and rocks for about one or two crater-diameters around it, and it required flying manually over the rock field to find a reasonably good area.
Local Guy: Roger, we copy. It was beautiful from here, Tranquility. Over.

"No matter how ugly you think you are, that special someone that loves you believes you are the most beautiful and irresistible thing on earth and nothing can ever change that."
Everything happens for a reason and my reason is you.
It's not that I can't live without you; it's that I don't even want to try!
