        Upon feeling the first of the landing legs softly touch the lunar surface, Buzz Aldrin said "Contact light". That was the first comment.

        The word “Contact” began a short series of statements related to the state of the vessel. I don’t think of them as "comments"

        They were in the bathroom. Toilet facilities on Apollo consisted of a rubber tube for no. 1 and a plastic bag for no. 2.
