In the LM, Fred Haise holds a camera that he would have used on the lunar surface.

Lovell switches on a ceiling light in the LM.

Back in Houston, Marilyn quietly cries in a chair, listening to static on the NASA squawk box. The scene fades to black.

“Look,” says Haise, “it’s Fra Mauro. I can see our landing site.”

“Wow,” says Swigert, “Look at that Tsiolkovskiy Crater! I can’t believe how bright the ejecta blanket is.”

Lovell looks out at the Moon through the LM window.
