The first contact with lunar soil will be made by 5-ft. probes dangling from the LM's footpads. When the probes brush the surface, two lights the size of half-dollars will begin flashing in the LM under the white-lettered words, "lunar contact," and Armstrong will cut off the engine. The LM will then drop the last few feet to the surface, touching down at 4:19 p.m. (E.D.T.) on Sunday...
