This is Volume 1 of NASA's Apollo 11 Technical Crew Debriefing, dated July 31, 1969. The Mission Operations Branch of the Flight Crew Support Division at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston prepared it, and it was originally classified Confidential. In it Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins go phase by phase through suiting, launch, powered flight, Earth orbit and lunar surface activities. They comment on suit fit, vibration, checklists, lunar dust, footing and poor sleeping conditions in the lunar module. A section titled Visual Sightings appears in the table of contents.

## CONFIDENTIAL ARMSTRONG No doubt about it. COLLINS I wouldn't call it POGO, but it just wasn't as smooth. ARMSTRONG It was a little rattly all the time. COLLINS It was a lot smoother than Stafford described his ride. I think we had a different S-IVB than he had. ALDRIN PU shift was noticeable. COLLINS That was very noticeable. ALDRIN That was quite a jolt. About as much as one engine out. ARMSTRONG That's probably about right. ALDRIN About the same change in thrust. 3.44 SEPARATION LIGHTS ARMSTRONG Separation lights as advertised. 3.45 DISTINCTION OF SOUNDS AND VIBRATIONS ARMSTRONG Sounds and vibrations we've commented on. 3.50 COMMUNICATIONS ARMSTRONG Communications with the ground for the go/no-go went without a problem. There was a short time period in there when we didn't hear anything. I think we gave them a call just to make sure that we still had COMM.
