Great moments in space history: farting on the moon

YouTuber Barb Ackue (get it?) was kind enough to upload an important moment in US history: Commander John Young complaining about flatulence while Apollo 16 was on the lunar surface. After working through some technical issues, Young says:

Young: I got the farts again. I got 'em again, Charlie. I haven't eaten this much citrus fruit in 20 years! And I tell you one thing, in another 12 fucking days, I ain't never eating any more!

Houston: Orion? Houston. Okay John, we have a hot mike.

Young: How long have we had that?

Puts some iconic images in a different perspective.
