The 2-word title of what 2005 documentary about the moon landings comes from how Buzz Aldrin described the moonscape while conversing with Neil Armstrong?
"while Command Module Pilot Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit. A Presbyterian elder, Aldrin became the first person to hold a religious ceremony on the Moon when he privately took communion. Upon leaving NASA in 1971, he became Commandant of the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School. He retired from the Air Force in 1972, after 21 years of service. His autobiographies ""Return to Earth,"" (1973) and ""Magnificent Desolation"" (2009), recount his struggles with clinical depression and alcoholism in the years after leaving NASA. He continued to advocate for space exploration, particularly a manned mission to Mars, and developed the"
"landing and walking on the Moon. The most infamous incident involved ""Apollo 11"" crew member Buzz Aldrin. According to Aldrin, he was lured to a Beverly Hills, California, hotel on September 9, 2002, under the pretext of an interview on space for a Japanese children's television show. As he was leaving the hotel, Sibrel was there requesting that he swear an oath on a Bible that he had walked on the Moon. When Aldrin refused, Sibrel followed him and said ""you're the one who said you walked on the moon when you didn't"", and then called Aldrin ""a coward, and"
"shot down two MiG-15 aircraft. After earning a Sc.D. degree in astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Aldrin was selected as a member of NASA's Astronaut Group 3, making him the first astronaut with a doctoral degree. His doctoral thesis was ""Line-of-Sight Guidance Techniques for Manned Orbital Rendezvous"", earning him the nickname ""Dr. Rendezvous"" from fellow astronauts. His first space flight was Gemini 12 during which he spent over five hours on extravehicular activity (EVA) outside the spacecraft. Aldrin set foot on the Moon at 03:15:16 on July 21, 1969 (UTC), nine minutes after Armstrong first touched the surface,"
"television transmissions of the Apollo 11 manned moon landing by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in 1969. He said: ""The only sounds that go along with space travel are electronic ones... The Apollo film shows different facets of the flight - blastoff, separation of the stages of the rocket, scenes of the moon at close range, of the astronauts playing games in the ship and of earthrise. [The music] has to carry the film along. It has to echo the sound of the blastoff and even the static you hear on the astronauts' report from space. People are used to"
"Augmenting the archival audio and video are contemporary interviews with some surviving Apollo era astronauts, including Al Bean, Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, John Young, David Scott, Charlie Duke, Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt. The former astronauts have the only speaking roles in the movie, although occasional supplementary information is presented on screen with text and archival television footage presents the words of journalists such as Jules Bergman and Walter Cronkite. The only surviving moon walker at the time not to participate was Neil Armstrong, the first person to set foot on the Moon. The documentary shares its name with a"

Bender impales Crater Face in the eye with his beer bottle after Crater Face attempts to confiscate his alcohol, which is another reference to the film as the astronomers' capsule (which resembles a bottle) hitting the moon's eye when it crashes. The title of the episode itself is a reference to the quote ""The Eagle has landed"" said by astronaut Neil Armstrong when he and Buzz Aldrin touched down on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission.

"Buzz Aldrin Buzz Aldrin (; born Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr.; January 20, 1930) is an American engineer, former astronaut, and fighter pilot. As lunar module pilot on the Apollo 11 mission, he and mission commander Neil Armstrong were the first two humans to land on the Moon. Born in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, Aldrin graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, in 1951, with a degree in mechanical engineering. He was commissioned in the United States Air Force, and served as a jet fighter pilot during the Korean War. He flew 66 combat missions and"

Inside an office room, he shows Aldrin his ""secret"" footage, which Sibrel says was sent to him by mistake from NASA. According to Sibrel, this footage shows the crew rigging a shot inside their spacecraft to appear halfway to the Moon, when they were really in Earth orbit and trying to deceive the world. Aldrin dismisses Sibrel's arguments, stating ""We went to the Moon; we're not misleading anybody."" Later in"

Why don’t you talk to the administrator at NASA? We were passengers, we're guys going on a flight."" In his 2001 film ""A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon"", Sibrel asserts that the Moon landings were faked.

"Armstrong himself never saw it until his biographer brought him a copy of the tape. The Australian movie, ""The Dish"" (2000), tells the (slightly fictionalised) story of how the images of the moon-walk were received by the radio telescope at Parkes Observatory, New South Wales. The mission has been depicted in multiple films, including the television movies ""Apollo 11"" (1996) and ""Moonshot"" (2009).

Other images in the collection are no less haunting or poignant: an image of an Apollo 11 earth orbit is brought to life by a 35-word inscription by Buzz Aldrin of the ‘silent communion’ prayer he uttered shortly after landing on the moon, or Al Worden’s inscription on an image from the Apollo 15 archives of his poem “Blast Off” (from his book, Hello Earth, Greetings from Endeavour) -"
