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	This enabled us to get a little ahead in stowage.
ALDRIN	Concerning transfer items: We brought several books back — updates and a couple of procedures.
ARMSTRONG	So, all in all, I guess it worked out well. We recommend it as a useful procedure.
	6.38 EATING PERIODS
COLLINS	They were well spaced and I thought adequate time was given to eating. Quality of the food will be discussed later.
	6.39 WORKLOADS
ARMSTRONG	The workload during the translunar coast is very light as it should be.
ALDRIN	In comparison to the preflight workload, it gave us a couple of days to relax. I think it's important to store up the rest.
COLLINS	I think so too.
	6.40 REST PERIODS
ALDRIN	We're all good sleepers. The first one was not as good as the second or third, but the first sleep period was still surprisingly restful as far as I'm concerned.
