By United Press Internolional HOUSTON America's three Apollo 11 astronauts healthy, happy and in a hurry emerged last night from three weeks in Moon bug quarantine and went into seclusion with their families. Michael Collins was the first to step past the germ barrier at 10:04 p.m. and was quickly followed by Moonwalkers Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. and Neil A.

Armstrong. "Well, here we are now, it's nice to see you," said Armstrong, the first man step onto the lunar surface. THE ASTRONAUTS, who opened the alien world of the Moon to mankind and risked the threat of lunar germs, were cheered by 250 space center workers, their wives and children. Within minutes, the astronauts were whisked to family reunions at their nearby homes. Collins wore the mustache he had grown since being launched from Cape Kennedy July 16.

Armstrong and Aldrin were clean shaven. But all three needed haircuts. They were pronounced perfectly healthy, after a medical examination and Dr. Charles A. Berry, chief astronaut physician, gave each a document to prove it.

He said there was no sign the astronauts and the Moon rocks they brought back contained any extraterrestrial germs. The astronauts had been away from home since July 6 first at Cape Kennedy, then at the Moon and finally in the 31-room isolation suite and they wasted no time getting home for a reunion with their families. "I CAN'T say I would choose to spend a couple of weeks like that, but I'm very glad we got the opportunity to complete the Across The Nation mission," Armstrong said. The door of the super quarantine suite originally was scheduled to be unsealed at 2 a.m. Monday, 540 hours after Armstrong and Aldrin climbed from the rocky, gray surface of Tranquillity Base back into their fragile Eagle Moon lander and closed the hatch.

But Berry persuaded a government quarantine committee in Atlanta to approve a stepped-up release time. The other 20 persons quarantined also were released, including a woman laboratory technician, Heather Owens. SIX MINUTES after they left quarantine, the astronauts drove off in three white government station wagons. Their families were not on hand at the lunar receiving laboratory. No one came to the door to greet Armstrong at his home.

They plan to try to find it next summer. Some pieces of wood, possibly 4,000 years old, discovered this summer on the mountain in eastern Turkey, have spurred the scientists to search further for the fabled vessel. According to Jewish and Christian tradition, the ark saved Noah, his family and pairs of animals from a flood that covered the world. Similar stories of escape by boat from a great flood appear in other dd'e Eastern lore.
