1. 0:00how did it feel in a more visceral sense
2. 0:02i mean to actually walk around on the
3. 0:04moon was it
4. 0:05were you aware of the difference in
5. 0:07gravity did it seem incredibly strange
6. 0:09did you feel vulnerable out there
7. 0:11it was a momentous responsible moment uh
8. 0:17for the three of us
9. 0:19and uh
10. 0:20it was the epitome the culmination of a
11. 0:23long and arduous period of
12. 0:26training and i think it was uh

35. 1:22about the time of the crew selection for
36. 1:24that mission
37. 1:25wouldn't it be nice to not have the
