Note du spécialiste

Before making his first step on the Moon (iv), Aldrin (with both feet on the footpad of the lunar module) tried to jump up to the bottom rung to check if there was no difficulty returning inside "Eagle" (he made it only on the second try). He and Armstrong then walked where no man had gone before for more than two hours.

109:42:53 Aldrin: Okay. Now I think I’ll do the same (garbled) [Aldrin tries to jump up to the bottom rung and doesn’t quite make it on the first try.]
109:43:01 Armstrong: A little more. About another inch. [Aldrin jumps up to the bottom rung.]
109:43:06 Armstrong: There, you’ve got it.
109:43:08 Aldrin: That’s a good (last) step.
109:43:10 Armstrong: Yeah. About a 3-footer. [Aldrin jumps back down to the footpad.]
109:43:16 Aldrin: Beautiful view!
109:43:18 Armstrong: Isn’t that something! Magnificent sight out here.
109:43:24 Aldrin: Magnificent desolation.
