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.

We know what we're going about in the various systems checks, and it doesn't fit into a good timeline. ## COLLINS This is a small example here: Page L2-8, item 4, EMERGENCY CABIN PRESSURE valve to BOTH. That check is made prior to anybody's going in the LEB. That's impossible to do. Obviously, you got to be down in the LEB to see it. Yet it's listed prior to the time the CMP goes to the LEB for the main regulator check. Just little things like that, the sequence here is crazy. And, as I say, I was lazy and didn't get it straightened out in the checklist world. I just went through it in my own fashion. But to be precise about it, the following crew should go through this one time and rewrite this in a more efficient fashion. 4. 3 INITIATION OF TIME BASE 6-AWARENESS Okay. Initiation of time base 6. I think we'll postpone that. ## 4.4 ORDEAL Now then, ORDEAL: We used a system where the CMP was already ## CONFIDENTIAL
