Apollo+40: Columbia & Eagle Undocked - Descent Preparations Continue

After their latest back-side of the Moon pass, CSM Columbia and LM Eagle are now flying independently!

100:18:01 (CDR): "Eagle is undocked."

100:18:03 (CAPCOM): "Roger. How does it look, Neil?"

100:18:04 (CDR): "The Eagle has wings!"

All is looking well with spacecraft systems. The next GO/NO-GO point coming up is for the separation of the two spacecraft to give maneuvering room in preparation for Descent Orbit Insertion (DOI) by the LM.
