This isn't really a Spirit only topic, but since she has been on Mars a bit longer, I'll give her the honor of this thread.

And of course Charlie Duke had his own chance to utter the first words from the moon on Apollo 16:
104:29:36 Duke: Contact! Stop. (Pause while they drop to the surface) Boom! [Young, from the 1972 Technical Debrief - "When we got the Contact light, I counted the 'one-potato' and shut the engine down. The thing fell out of the sky the last 3 feet. I know it did. I don't know how much we were coming down, maybe a foot a second."] [Duke, from the 1972 Technical Debrief - "I don't remember exactly, but about 1.8 (fps) - I think I saw - right before touchdown."] [Young, from the 1972 Technical Debrief - "I wouldn't (want to) stroke that gear (by shutting down the engine earlier), man. I'll tell you, that would really jar your teeth."] 104:29:40 Duke: Pro. Engine Arm. (Pause) Wow!!! (Garbled) man! Look at that! -------------------- Jonathan Ward
