The Final Descent

This chapter describes the tense moments during the lunar landing of Apollo 11, as astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin navigate the lunar module close to the lunar surface. They provide updates on their altitude, fuel levels, and distance from the landing site. The team realizes that they are running out of fuel and Armstrong must quickly find a safe place to land. As the fuel levels decrease, the mission control team becomes silent, leaving Armstrong and Aldrin to make the crucial landing decision on their own.
