APOLLO 11 CONVERSATIONS EARTH DIDN'T HEAR NOW ONLINE AT NASA.GOV

HOUSTON -- You're in a spacecraft, on a mission to land on the moon
for the first time in history, and the microphone to Earth is off.
What do you say?

Now you can listen in on a NASA Web site and find out.

As Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins flew on Apollo 11 to a
lunar landing in July 1969, the world heard communications between
the crew and Mission Control live as they happened. But Earth did not
hear the private conversations between Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins,
although they were recorded aboard the Command Module Columbia and
Lunar Module Eagle.

Those conversations now are available on the Internet. All the Apollo
spacecraft had onboard voice recorders, activated during much of each
mission to record the crew's conversations. The transcripts of those
recordings were publicly released in the mid-1970s. Only recently
were the actual onboard audio recordings from Apollo 11 digitized and
made available on the Web.

To listen to the recordings and view the transcript, visit:
