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.
"[I]f we fail, then the whole world,…all that we have known and cared for…will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that…men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'”
