  1. probably something trivial like unbuckling your seatbelt or turning off thrusters.


  2. Use the bathroom

  3. Open the door

  4. Well, if you're talking about the spacesuit cuff checklists, it's well known that the NASA guys put Playboy centrefolds and Snoopy cartoons into the checklist for laughs, as well as some prepared jargon-laden geological descriptions to confuse the ground crew on the back pages. The second page has a cartoon of a spacesuited Snoopy bouncing along the lunar surface, so that's what they would have seen first upon opening the cuff checklist. The nudes didn't turn up until page 12 of the checklist. The surface checklist, which they would have opened immediately after landing (but before leaving the LEM) just has the usual things you would expect - charts, timelines, instructions and so on.

  5. "the first thing the astronaut seen" - I guess they don't teach grammar in school anymore.

    I think you're referring to the reduced-sized pictures of Playboy centerfolds that the backup crew had smuggled into the checklist.

  6. Is this a ufo question? Well I think they saw the place where all of the green cheese is made.  

  7. The inside of his helmet.

  8. make sure your on course to the moon and not going to pass it
