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

ALDRIN	Yes.
COLLINS	The alignment at ORB RATE is no problem as other flights have reported.
	4.18 EMS DELTA-V
ARMSTRONG	Okay. EMS DELTA V. No problems.
	4.19 SCALE CHANGE
ARMSTRONG	Scale change, systems, engine alignments, GO for TLI, and then --
COLLINS	Glad to get it - no problems.
ALDRIN	Well, I think it's worthy to note that we did intend to have the TV camera out. It did not seem to crowd the timeline, trying to get those pictures coming up on the West Coast. We still seemed to have a very comfortable approach to TLI.
COLLINS	That's right. Of course, that's where we said we weren't going to fool with the television if we were rushed or behind the timeline.
	4.23 DRIFT TEST
ARMSTRONG	The drift test has to do with your alignment, I guess. - and also with the GDC drift, which was acceptable.
