Mitä tarkoittaa sanonta kotka on laskeutunut?

Armstrong, Aldrin ja kumppanit kun menivät kuuhun, heidän koodinimensä oli Eagle. Ja kun se laskeutui kuun pinnalle, viesti oli kotka on laskeutunut.





Buzz Aldrin: Contact light.

Neil Armstrong: Shutdown.

Aldrin: OK. Engine stop. ACA out of Detent.

Armstrong: Out of Detent. Auto.

Aldrin: Mode Control, both Auto. Descent Engine Command Override, Off. Engine Arm, Off. 413 is in.

Charlie Duke (Houston CapCom): We copy you down, Eagle.

Armstrong: Engine arm is off ... Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.

Duke: Roger, Tranquility. We copy you on the ground. You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We' re breathing again. Thanks a lot.

Kun anoppi saapuu vierailulle, mies sanoo " Kotka on laskeutunut." :)
