[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3254053, member: 44288"] Every time I watch this 8 Days to the Moon re-enacted movie I see something different Right before Armstrong said, "Houston, Tranquility base here, the Eagle has landed." he said, "413 is in." It took a bit but I found it was referring to the computer input to memory to input the exact attitude of the Eagle on the moon. This input was in case of an emergency abort being necessary. I also realize common sense tells you they have to depressurize the LM in order to get out of it. What i want to know is do they waste the atmosphere to the moon by venting or do they pull a vacuum inside. We all know from science classes we cannot pull a complete vacuum. I would imagine to save as much breathable O2 as possible they would pull as much as they could then vent the rest to gain equilibrium. Just guessing here. [/QUOTE]
