July 13 - Countdown at 3
The Apollo 11 astronauts, in their final few days before going to the moon, eased up on their rigid training and did some "fun" flying. The crew started the day inside spacecraft trainers, but two of them broke away in the afternoon to sharpen their piloting skills above the flat Florida landscape. The Countdown for their historic lunar journey moved along smoothly through the day, still aimed at a 9:32 a.m. blastoff of the giant Saturn V rocket on Wednesday, July 16.
