This is Volume 1 of NASA's Apollo 11 Technical Crew Debriefing, dated July 31, 1969. The Mission Operations Branch of the Flight Crew Support Division at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston prepared it, and it was originally classified Confidential. In it Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins go phase by phase through suiting, launch, powered flight, Earth orbit and lunar surface activities. They comment on suit fit, vibration, checklists, lunar dust, footing and poor sleeping conditions in the lunar module. A section titled Visual Sightings appears in the table of contents.

# CONFIDENTIAL 4. 10 DOCKING PROBE ARMSTRONG I think they're attempting to recall anything that might have gone abnormally. COLLINS There were no findings in that docking probe. 4.12 COMMUNICATIONS ARMSTRONG Communications were more or less in and out in earth orbit. Sometimes there was quite good S-band through the various stations; other times, it was only medium. 4.14 COMMENTS ON EARTH-ORBITAL OPERATIONS ARMSTRONG Any comments on the earth-orbit operations? COLLINS I think, in general, that's a very nice timeline. We hammered away at it enough to where we're only checking those things that really should be checked and there's plenty of time available to check them in a leisurely fashion. I think that's a nice timeline. ALDRIN How about the alignment? On the Saturn? COLLINS The platform alignment? ALDRIN Yes, torquing angle we got from the ground and the alignment they gave us - COLLINS Yes, I didn't know what to say about that. I think that's probably within normal tolerance.
