1. Day 1, Mike can't find the particular star they are looking for: Oh I have SO TOTALLY BEEN IN THAT MEETING where That Guy (mr particular astronomer) just won't let the subject DROP about how it's ALL WRONG, why can't that guy up there DO HIS JOB RIGHT, GRIPE GRIPE GRIPE and the meeting coordinator/flight is attempting to move the meeting along.

2. For three guys in a phone booth, they spend an awful lot of time looking for things

3. Mike: "Get out of my hallway so I can close the damn hatch, Aldrin!"

4. Neil: This is amazing!
Mike: It's amazing! But it's also amazing that we're so used to it!
Buzz: I wanna listen to music! I'm hungry! Where's the snacks?

5. Mike: There will be no television of the undocking. I have all available windows either full of heads or cameras, and I'm busy with other things.

6. Buzz, maybe we should have fussed over the contents of the LEM BEFORE we left Earth? Also, sliderules in the LEM were totally a thing (apparently two of them).

7. Man they spend a lot of time reading numbers to each other.

8. P00 (p-zero-zero) is pronounced "poo" and they never giggle about it.

9. Things break down/stop working on an amazingly regular basis. (Example: immediately after landing on the moon, Neil's mission clock breaks, so he doesn't know what time it is.) Low tech is LOW TECH. Also, so much paper.

10. I'm used to watching movies on this. Orbital mechanics take a lot longer.

This is so beyond awesome...
