To put things in perspective 9 months earlier NBC was unable to
restore a connection for a football game in Oakland back to NY because
a tech in Iowa had changed the flow of the network back to east to
west and Burbank was helpless to stop the madness of Heidi back at 30
Rock.

I had no idea from the time Aldrin turned the camera on before
Armstrong's first step was only 150 seconds. That folks is pressure.
