That's how I remember it, followed by some 20 or more college students erupting in cheers and cries of relief. At least, that's how it was when we watched it live that night.

Later, my all-time favorite picture:

ac26 is correct, "Contact" was the first word spoken from the moon.

According to NASA records, the sequence of spoken words was:
In the LEM
"Contact light, engine shutdown"

Transmitted to NASA
"Houston, the Eagle has landed"


According to the audio:

"Contact light. Okay, Engine Stop."
"Houston, uh, tranquility base here, the eagle has landed."


Shaql - you are correct, thanks for the correction.
