Apollo 11  –  Onboard Voice Transcription

Recorded on the Command Module Onboard Recorder Data Storage Equipment (DSE)

August 1969

INTRODUCTION

This is the transcription of the Apollo 11 flightcrew communications as recorded on the command module (CM) data storage equipment (DSE), and subsequently transmitted (dumped) to Manned Space Flight Network stations. Magnetic tapes containing dumped voice and onboard-recorded ground elapsed time (GET) were forwarded to the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas. Transcription of these tapes was managed by David M. Goldenbaum, Test Division, Apollo Spacecraft Program Office, to whom questions regarding this document should be referred.

The Apollo 11 mission was flown July 16 to July 24, 1969.
Communicators in the text are identified as follows:
Command Module:
    CDR   Commander Neil A. Armstrong
    CMP Command Module Pilot Michael Collins
    LMP Lunar Module Pilot Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr.
    SC Unidentifiable Crewmember    
    MS Multiple Speakers (simultaneous)      
Mission Control Center:
    CC Capsule Communicator (CAP COMM)


In the text, a series of three dots (...) is used to designate those portions of the communications which could not be transcribed because of garbling. One dash ( – ) is used to indicate a speaker's pause or a self-interruption. Two dashes ( –   – ) are used to indicate an interruption by another speaker or a point at which a recording was abruptly terminated.

Day 1

DAY 1  –  Page 1
00 00 28 53LMP How are we doing on that time, anybody? Neil, are you sort of master of ceremonies on time, yet?
00 00 29 00CDR Well, I didn't ...
00 00 29 22LMP (Singing) Okay, your DRINKING WATER SUPPLY valve is ON.
00 00 29 27CMP How about this ... circuit configuration? GLYCOL RESERVOIR BYPASS valve OPEN?
00 00 29 33CDR (Cough) ... BYPASS is OPEN.
00 00 29 38CMP RESERVOIR OUT valve CLOSED?
00 00 29 40CDR OUT's CLOSED.
00 00 29 41CMP IN valve CLOSED?
00 00 29 42CDR IN's CLOSED.
00 00 29 43CMP ECS RADIATOR FLOW CONTROL, PRIMARY.
00 00 29 48LMP ...
00 00 29 51CMP Hey, Buzz?
00 00 29 52LMP Yes.
00 00 29 53CMP How would you like the camera?
00 00 29 55LMP Okay.
00 00 29 56CMP PRIMARY GLYCOL TO RADIATOR valve, NORMAL.
00 00 29 59LMP Why don't I leave the dark slide  –   – 
00 00 30 01CDR Are we ready for that, you think? What's the time?
00 00 30 04LMP 30 minutes. ...
00 00 30 08CDR ... to NORMAL, and check the radiator.
00 00 30 13CMP It will take awhile, that's  –   – 

DAY 1  –  Page 2
00 00 30 16LMP Okay, now, is that normal for the discharge pressure to zap down low and to do that? Do you think, Mike?
00 00 30 23CMP What's that? I'm sorry, I wasn't listening.
00 00 30 25LMP When Neil sends the GLYCOL RADIATORS to NORMAL, temporarily, it  –   – 
00 00 30 31CDR It drops?
00 00 30 33LMP Yes.
00 00 30 34CMP The temperature done that?
00 00 30 35CDR/LMP No, the pressure.
00 00 30 36CMP Yes, pressure  –  you might get a little drop in it, I don't really know, but it came back up.
00 00 30 38LMP Yes, it goes back up.
00 00 30 39CMP Alright, Buzz, here's one Hasselblad for you.
00 00 30 40CDR Coming around the right-hand couch.
00 00 30 42LMP That seems okay.
00 00 30 44CMP Buzz?
00 00 30 45LMP Yes, just a second.
00 00 30 47CMP Okay. I'll just let go of it, Buzz; it will be hanging over here in the air. Coming up  –  it's occupying my couch.
00 00 31 03LMP Okay.
00 00 31 05CMP Just leave the dark slide with it?
00 00 31 08LMP Well, I thought about ... the dark slide or something, and then I thought we might need it later for a magazine change; so, I left it with it.
00 00 31 25CMP Well, I know there's an orange dot on this ... somewhere.

DAY 1  –  Page 3
00 00 32 05LMP That looks just a couple of degrees still above the  – 
00 00 32 19CMP Buzz, did you ever get that camera?
00 00 32 21LMP Yes.
00 00 32 23CMP Okay.
00 00 32 44CDR Now, look.
00 00 32 46CMP Yes, I guess it's 5 minutes after you do this before ...
00 00 32 55LMP It's coming down, but it's  –   – 
00 00 32 56CDR Is it?
00 00 32 57LMP  –   –  as I said before, that's  – 
00 00 33 06CDR It looks like that's about equal to the limit pressure.
00 00 33 07CMP Yes, they're about  –  they're just about the same now.
00 00 33 11CDR Not getting much out of the radiator.
00 00 33 18CMP Okay, Buzz, are you ready for 16 millimeter?
00 00 33 20LMP Yes. How about a bracket?
00 00 33 22CMP Let  –  Neil will give you the bracket.
00 00 33 40CDR And the bracket  –  bracket slide  – 
00 00 33 47CMP Okay, Buzz, I'm going to have to do something about your couch. You mind sliding over to mine?
00 00 33 52LMP No, that's fine.
00 00 33 54CMP Could you  –   – 
00 00 33 55LMP Can you work on that strap?
00 00 33 56CMP Oh, yes, I will. Sure will. The  –  the one that your strut's off ... instrument panel.

DAY 1  –  Page 4
00 00 34 01LMP Yes. ...
00 00 34 54CMP And your ...
00 00 35 09CDR That temperature's coming down a little bit now.
00 00 35 14LMP Yes.
00 00 35 41LMP Now, let's see. You got an 18 millimeter on here, right?
00 00 35 44CMP Yes.
00 00 35 46LMP So  –  Do I push the thing all the way up? Is that right?
00 00 35 50CMP Yes.
00 00 35 51LMP About with that white mark?
00 00 35 52CMP Yes, one's for the 18, and one's for the 75; I  –  I think just as long it looks like it's out and ... the window, that's the main thing.
00 00 36 40CDR Did you get a secondary radiator leak check?
00 00 36 43LMP Yes, we did that.
00 00 36 44CDR Okay. We're not hearing them, but we're ... Tananarive.
00 00 36 48CMP Are we on SIMPLEX A?
00 00 36 49CDR We're on SIMPLEX A.
00 00 36 51LMP We're on SIMPLEX A, but we're not due over Tananarive for another couple of seconds.
00 00 36 56CDR Okay.
00 00 36 58CMP What  –  ... time is 36 something  –   – 
00 00 37 00LMP Am I set up on VHF? Can you tell ...?
00 00 37 11CMP Yes, just a second. Just a second  –  Your MASTER is ON; your INTERCOM is ON; your VHF is ON; your PAD COMM is OFF; your S-BAND is ON; and you're in INTERCOM/PUSH-TO-TALK, so you're all squared away, except for maybe VOLUME dial.

DAY 1  –  Page 5
00 00 37 29LMP Okay.
00 00 37 31CDR Now, Buzz, this item here at Canaries. LOS, 23:36; POTABLE WATER HEATER, MAIN A  –   – 
00 00 37 38LMP Yes, I got that.
00 00 37 39CDR  –   –  PCM BIT RATE, LOW  –   – 
00 00 37 40LMP I got that.
00 00 37 41CDR  –   –  You got all that, okay. Okay, when was the  –   – 
00 00 37 44LMP And the purge check's complete, and I'm working my way down to ECS.
00 00 37 50CDR Okay.
00 00 37 51CMP I'm having a hell of a time maintaining my body position down here; I keep floating up.
00 00 37 56LMP Well, there's such a great tendency to  –  to try and put a little force ... want to stay there. Just forget about all that and go wherever you want.
00 00 38 11CDR Okay, I got the SYSTEMS TEST meter set up on 4-B and ... attitude ...
00 00 38 18LMP 4-B, okay.
00 00 38 19CMP What are you reading?
00 00 38 20CDR I'm reading 3.50.
00 00 38 26LMP ... our attitude quantities ...
00 00 38 36CC Houston, Apollo 11.
00 00 38 41CDR Hello, Houston; Apollo 11.
00 00 38 46CMP OPTICS ZERO is OFF. I'm going to jettison the ... cover  –   – 
00 00 38 50CC Apollo 11, Apollo 11; this is Houston through Tananarive. Over.

DAY 1  –  Page 6
00 00 38 56CDR Hello, Houston; Apollo 11. Go ahead.
00 00 39 03LMP Houston. Apollo 11, read you on VHF A SIMPLEX. How do you read? Over.
00 00 39 09CC Roger, 11; this is Houston. We're reading you loud and fairly clearly. For your information, Tananarive radar shows you in a 103.0 by 103.0 orbit. Over.
00 00 39 24LMP Beautiful.
00 00 39 26CC We concur.
00 00 39 30CDR Well, we're just coming into the terminator, here.
00 00 39 40CMP I jettisoned the optics; I hope they went. Did you see them go?
00 00 39 44LMP I heard a little something, but I  –   – 
00 00 39 47CMP Don't want to miss that.
00 00 39 48LMP No.
00 00 39 55CMP Can't really tell here. I think I'm seeing the horizon  –  out there, but I'm ... far from being dark-adapted; it's hard to tell  – 
00 00 40 08LMP ... a double blind on this?
00 00 40 12CMP Yes. What were those Z-30 angles? 0.22, isn't it?
00 00 40 18LMP That's right, plus.
00 00 40 19CMP Sure's a big one, isn't it? Okay, well, I'm standing by to do this  –   – 
00 00 40 28LMP Got A and B down.
00 00 40 32CMP  –   –  IMU align. Unstow the optics handles. Anybody wants any of that claptrap out of R-1, now is the time to say it.
00 00 40 47LMP Give me that little circular job.

DAY 1  –  Page 7
00 00 40 52CMP Alright, I'll  –  I'll look for it, Buzz. Let me get these  –  optics handles. I guess I really didn't mean what I said right when I said it a little while ... Oh, I knew there was something messed up.
00 00 41 09LMP You say you had about 3-point-something volts up there?
00 00 41 12CMP Yes. ... and on the ...
00 00 41 17LMP 3.4?
00 00 41 19CMP 3.45, something like that  –   – 
00 00 41 20LMP Oh, that's  –  that's the minimum. 3.4, 4.1. And you can whip it over to 4-A, if  –   – 
00 00 41 28CMP Okay, 4-A is 3.8. Okay.
00 00 41 38LMP No, 4-A.
00 00 41 41CMP 4-A?
00 00 41 42LMP Yes.
00 00 41 43CMP And 3.8.
00 00 41 44CC Apollo 11, this is Houston. 1 minute to LOS Tananarive; AOS Carnarvon is at 52:15. Over.
00 00 41 53CDR Apollo 11, Roger.
00 00 41 56LMP 52:15.
00 00 41 57CDR You want some of these lights down further, Mark  –  Mike?
00 00 42 04CMP Don't worry about it for the time being; I'm potting around with handholds right now, Neil. ...
00 00 42 13LMP That battery compartment pressure, Mike, it ought to be less that 1.5. However, it says NA until first vent.
00 00 42 21CMP Okay.
00 00 42 22LMP It's greater than 1.5; that vent  –  vent  – 

DAY 1  –  Page 8
00 00 42 25CMP Well, we haven't even done it yet.
00 00 42 27LMP ...
00 00 42 28CMP Yes.
00 00 43 13CDR Man, we are in the dark, now.
00 00 43 25CMP You got any reading off that REPRESS O2 to be greater than 8 ...
00 00 43 37LMP We got  –  No, not quite that much. That's that crazy gage.
00 00 43 48CDR Okay, can I have the ... now?
00 00 43 53LMP Yes, you got it. ... 50 degrees ...
00 00 44 06CDR ... here is your acid test.
00 00 44 10CMP Okay, what did he say 52  – 
00 00 44 11CDR 52 ... percent, about.
00 00 44 15CMP As I say, I can't see ... Let me know if you want me to  –  come back ...
00 00 44 52CMP It's  –  Menkent.
00 00 44 58LMP ... ball on that pad  –  it's maintaining about 39 degrees, Mike.
00 00 45 02CMP Yes, I noticed that. Before, it was maintaining less than that; it was abnormally low. I almost asked them about it during boost, and then I decided to heck with it. Damn, it'll be hard to see through these optics ... down a little bit. Okay, proceed to Menkent. There she goes  –  Menkent.
00 00 45 31CMP Menkent  –  God, what a star.
00 00 45 35LMP Nobody in their right  –   – 
00 00 45 36CMP Menkent's good  –   – 
00 00 45 37LMP  –   –  nobody in their right mind would pick that one.

DAY 1  –  Page 9
00 00 45 38CMP  –   –  Menkent's a good star.
00 00 45 40LMP Hey, I sure wish you'd get out that  –  that star chart.
00 00 45 45CDR Can't see a thing, huh?
00 00 45 46CMP No. It's in the  –   – 
00 00 45 48CDR Did you look in the telescope?
00 00 45 49CMP  –   –  in the sextant. Yes, but I can't see it in the telescope; in the sextant  –  I can't.
00 00 45 53CDR Okay.
00 00 45 54CMP I believe it's at the angle we have to mark on it.
00 00 46 06LMP It's a little on the chilly side in the cabin. Would you like  –   – 
00 00 46 08CDR Feels comfortable to me.
00 00 46 09LMP  –   –  would you like it a little warmer, anybody?
00 00 46 10CDR I don't think so; I think it's a little on the  –   – 
00 00 46 13LMP ...
00 00 46 16CDR It sure doesn't look  –  sure doesn't feel like  –  Actually, it may be a little  –  it may be a little warm.
00 00 46 20LMP Well, my  –  my feet are a little chilly; see, it's 47. Okay, 37 is  –   – 
00 00 46 26CMP No, that's  –   – 
00 00 46 27LMP  –   –  is Nunki. What?
00 00 46 30CMP Okay. Hey, Buzz?
00 00 46 31LMP What?
00 00 46 32CMP Did you write down any marks on 30 and on 37?
00 00 46 35LMP I was going to mark on 37, and that's Nunki; 30 and 37?

DAY 1  –  Page 10
00 00 46 39CMP Yes, sir.
00 00 46 43LMP 30  – 
00 00 46 45CDR I can see some stars. Well, maybe I ...
00 00 46 53CMP Okay, again, looking through the telescope, I'm absolutely unable to tell if it's Nunki, but I have it in the sextant  –  so let's mark on it.
00 00 47 18CMP ... you guys would appreciate doing this with old G&N men.
00 00 47 24CDR 0.01.
00 00 47 26CMP 0.01, alright.  –  Shoot, I forget, I think that's gray Gienah.
00 00 47 29CDR Cup of coffee around here later on when you get a little time.
00 00 47 34LMP You like that, Neil? You want us to record that star?
00 00 47 40CMP I got it, I got it; go ahead.
00 00 47 41LMP Let's see, what's tearing me up is we're going to ORB rate on this damn booster, and the rate is very evident.
00 00 47 48CMP Okay, Z torque is plus 0.152 instead of 150; I suppose that's close enough. Now then, you got those numbers written down, Buzz?
00 00 48 01LMP Copy.
00 00 48 02CMP Okay. Now I  –  I  –  If I remember right, I think you're just supposed to torque without further ado. We give them the time at which we torque. So, as soon as you got them written down, let me know and I'll proceed and you can mark the time.
00 00 48 13LMP I've got it.
00 00 48 14CMP Okay, here we go. Proceed  –  torque.
00 00 48 15LMP 48:15.

DAY 1  –  Page 11
00 00 48 18CMP Okay, now I  –  I'm going to verify with the third star, and let's see what that star's going to be. Star number 34  –   – 
00 00 48 34LMP Atria  –   – 
00 00 48 35CMP  –   –  is Atria. You might note that, Buzz, also. I think  –   – 
00 00 48 39LMP 34?
00 00 48 40CMP Yes, I think that's the third star; it'll say somewhere in that checklist. Proceed to Atria. Alright, if IMU is realigned, realign the GDC.
00 00 49 04LMP 0.1 degree. Probably GDC's off a lot more than that.
00 00 49 12CMP Okay, and Atria is there in the sextant. Well, you know, it's not right in the middle of the sextant. Of course, I guess  –  I don't know what  –  Have you ever heard any rules on what constitutes a good third star check?
00 00 49 32LMP No, all you're really doing is seeing that you've got the right stars, it seems to me.
00 00 49 36CMP It's there, but it's not dab-smack in the middle of the sextant; it's off, I would guess  –  0.02 or some crazy number like that. Alright, having done that, VERB 37, ENTER; ... ENTER, and I'm going OPTICS ZERO and MANUAL, and cranking up the floodlights down here.
00 00 50 04CMP God, I'll tell you, the visibility through that telescope is a big disappointment.
00 00 50 10LMP It's ...
00 00 50 13CMP Okay, Buzz, got all that good stuff?
00 00 50 20CDR GDC's realigned, okay  – 
00 00 50 27CMP Reticle brightness ... I don't know anything about that. ... Stow optics eyepieces, okay, that's in work.
00 00 50 35CDR And ... out there right now. ... , Buzz?

DAY 1  –  Page 12
00 00 50 46LMP Neil, I haven't been looking out  –  My eyes aren't very well adapted.
00 00 50 52CDR You got your light on.
00 00 50 59CMP Yes, look at those bright ones down here.
00 00 51 09LMP Lightning! Is that lightning out your window?
00 00 51 12CDR No, I haven't seen any lightning.
00 00 51 15LMP Hell, that must be lightning. Either that or it's the ...
00 00 51 19CMP You know, no matter how many times I put these optics eyepieces  –   – 
00 00 51 23CDR I just saw something. Maybe it is the ... They said that Borman's ... could see it; they couldn't hear it, but they could see it alright  – 
00 00 51 30LMP Yes.
00 00 51 35CMP No matter how many times I put these optics eyepieces in their box, it doesn't seem right.
00 00 51 45CMP 0.01, God damn it! Now that's enough to piss a body off.
00 00 51 51CDR ... that time.
00 00 51 53LMP S-BAND noise.
00 00 51 57CDR We're about to get  –  10 seconds until acquisition.
00 00 51 59LMP Okay.
00 00 52 02CMP Okay, and my optics eyepieces are stowed.
00 00 52 09CDR You want me to take your checklist, Mike, and kind of skim through it?
00 00 52 16CMP It says here, coming up on Carnarvon LOS at  –   – 
00 01 04 44CMP Let  –  let me tell them about the TV ...

DAY 1  –  Page 13
00 01 04 47CMP Roger, Bruce. Thank you. We expect TV. We've got it all hooked up. We have not yet turned it on; we're ready to do that now.
00 01 05 02CMP Okay, you think we can do that?
00 01 05 04LMP That's fine with us.
00 01 05 05CDR This one here?
00 01 05 17LMP Tell them that we've got nothing to do here but recheck it here for the next 20 minutes or so.
00 01 05 26LMP Okay. I'm ready to turn the TV on. Play with it. ... flashlight ... hook it up ...
00 01 06 00CDR Want a  –  ...? Mike?
00 01 06 01LMP No.
00 01 06 04CMP Yes, I'd love one, Neil; thank you. I just stuck it in my pocket.
00 01 06 15CMP Can I give you the wrapping back?
00 01 06 18CDR (Laughing) Now that is a problem, trying to find  –   – 
00 01 06 21CMP It's a gooey one. Gooey when the paper doesn't want to come off, but thanks anyway.
00 01 06 54LMP What was you doing? (Laughter)
00 01 06 57CMP I don't know ... I almost lost it. I figured I'd really go along with the ... and put some of that ointment on  –  so slick that I rubbed my ring off (laughter).
00 01 07 08LMP Is that right?
00 01 07 09CMP Yes.
00 01 07 18CMP Have we got any daylight? I can't see outside at all.
00 01 07 22CDR Nothing yet, ...
00 01 07 26LMP How are you going to rig that up, Michael?

DAY 1  –  Page 14
00 01 07 29CMP Well, Buzz, I'm going to hold it out that hatch window.
00 01 07 30LMP Handhold it?
00 01 07 32CMP Yes  –  yes, yes, handhold it; don't dick with that.
00 01 07 38CDR Buzz can hold it, and you're going to run the monitor; have you run ...?
00 01 07 40CMP Yes.
00 01 08 09CDR Mike, how about this thing?
00 01 08 16CMP REPRESS  –  let's see, it's supposed to be  –  865.
00 01 08 22LMP Go ahead.
00 01 08 23CMP And it  –  it kind of varies  –  not 865, but it's  –  830.
00 01 08 33CDR ...
00 01 08 40CMP Well, I don't know how  –  that ought to ...
00 01 08 44CDR I can turn  –  turn it on FILL for a minute, if you like. That's what we need to do, I think.
00 01 08 51CMP Maybe the ... this son of a bitch is working or not.
00 01 09 06CDR You got the power switches turned on up there at the  –   – 
00 01 09 10CMP Yes. ...
00 01 09 21LMP Let's get into the Hasselblad ... get the right settings on it.
00 01 09 26CMP Okay.
00 01 09 29LMP Is Goldstone the only station that's going to get this?
00 01 09 32CDR Yes, that's all. That's the only one that's got a scanner converter. We've only got about 4 minutes, looks like.

DAY 1  –  Page 15
00 01 09 44LMP That must be doing something.
00 01 09 46CMP Yes.
00 01 09 47CDR How long  –   – 
00 01 09 48CMP You got it on infinity for one thing; let me put it down here.
00 01 09 52CDR  –   –  how long is it supposed to take to  –   – 
00 01 09 53CMP ...?
00 01 09 54CDR No, no, it's the one with the ...
00 01 09 59LMP Okay, it's  –  it's working somewhat; it's just the question of not enough light in here when I get it.
00 01 10 06CDR Yes.
00 01 10 07LMP ... It's, I think, working okay.
00 01 10 10CDR We ought to be coming out into the daylight here in a little bit. Get it all shaped up?
00 01 10 22LMP I think it's fine. Now the one thing I forget about this is this zoom.
00 01 10 30CMP Do we want to write on this what  –  what we're taking pictures of? 0.5 millimeter.
00 01 10 46LMP Who knows about zoom lenses? This lens goes from 12.5 millimeters to 75; I assume that's the same nomenclature as on a camera. Right, 75 is zoom  –   – 
00 01 10 58CDR I would think so.
00 01 10 59LMP  –   –  and 12.5 is wide angle. The only thing that confuses me is that it says for vehicle to vehicle  –  We want to be zoom on 12.5. I guess they just want to make sure you got the other vehicle in view. Probably ... telephoto.
00 01 11 15CMP Okay, well, then, I'll put the zoom on 12.5.
00 01 11 18LMP Okay. You didn't touch this lighting?

DAY 1  –  Page 16
00 01 11 21CMP No, I didn't ... Minimum ...
00 01 11 29LMP I've got bright.
00 01 11 32CMP Focus, I'll put at infinity, and the f-stop for vehicle to vehicle is  –   – 
00 01 11 58CDR Not much light in here.
00 01 12 02CMP  –   –  f:2.8.
00 01 12 04LMP What?
00 01 12 09CMP Okay. I  –  I'll show what it looks like inside of the cabin.
00 01 12 27LMP Okay, this looks alright, I think.
00 01 12 30CMP Point that at Neil or point it at somebody who's in the light. Yes, we'll get it. ... You want to see the monitor?
00 01 12 41LMP ...
00 01 12 43CMP Yes. You want to see the monitor?
00 01 12 49CDR Is this all ready to go; I'm going to put it back over here. It's over here under your stuff. Now, it seems to me if Buzz wants his camera to drift up, so what I ought to do is probably  –  Hey, Buzz.
00 01 13 02LMP Yes.
00 01 13 07CDR Hey, it seemed to stick pretty well if you stood it up on the  –  with the lens kind of pointing out. There are two pieces of Velcro over there.
00 01 13 14LMP Okay.
00 01 13 16CDR There are two pieces on the back of them ...
00 01 13 17LMP You think so, huh?
00 01 13 18CDR Yes, over, just a little up toward the ...
00 01 13 28LMP Now, ...  –  It's rolling around, so I can start looking outside, upside down.

DAY 1  –  Page 17
00 01 13 53CDR I don't know, I think we'd almost be better just by looking at the monitor, Buzz.
00 01 13 59LMP Yes, yes, but this way I think I'll know how to  –  know which way to move it.
00 01 14 07CDR Are you going the right way for those hoses? It looks to me like you ought to roll over the other way.
00 01 14 25LMP Hey, there's something. How's that window?
00 01 14 37CDR When you get around there, Buzz, I'll give you the briefing (laughter). You just slid out of your  –   – 
00 01 14 40LMP I was out of my ...
00 01 14 57CMP Handkerchief or something  –   – 
00 01 14 59LMP Where do we have to go to get a tissue?
00 01 15 02CMP All the way down to the ...
00 01 15 04CDR How about  –  using a piece of cloth, like  –   – 
00 01 15 10LMP While I'm here, let me  –   – 
00 01 15 11CMP What  –  what  –  do you want a tissue for?
00 01 15 14CDR Hey, that's a good idea. We can get rid of that stuff  –   – 
00 01 15 16LMP ...
00 01 15 17CDR  –   –  that's a good idea; good head.
00 01 15 22LMP Brilliant ...
00 01 15 23CDR I got your checklist, Mike; you want it back?
00 01 15 27CMP Yes, I'll take it back, Neil  –  Thank you, just put it here.
00 01 15 37CMP No, you got Buzz's checklist here. You gave me BUZZ'S.
00 01 15 41CDR Excuse me.

DAY 1  –  Page 18
00 01 15 44CMP ... I'd rather have my own.
00 01 15 47LMP How does the checklist look to you, Neil? You happy with it?
00 01 15 51CDR Yes, it looks fine to me.
00 01 15 53LMP Good.
00 01 15 56CMP I'll take your word for it, but the SPS and ECS and the EPS are now on ...
00 01 16 06LMP ...
00 01 16 07CMP Yes, I'll do that. Are you ready for me to hand you your light test?
00 01 16 16LMP No, one-handed snap. ... I'm in the center now.
00 01 16 28CMP Okay, Buzz, the  –   – 
00 01 16 29LMP Alright, I'll put yours on the left.
00 01 16 32CMP It doesn't matter, they're all good  –  far as I'm concerned, one's like another.
00 01 16 37LMP As a matter of fact, I'll put yours on the right.
00 01 16 38CMP Okay.
00 01 16 40LMP ...
00 01 16 43CMP This 16-millimeter camera, Buzz, with the 18-millimeter lens  –  you got it shoved all the way up toward the window. I think we can  –  on this bracket.
00 01 16 52LMP Yes.
00 01 16 53CDR Okay, that was correct. You  –  you were asking about that.
00 01 16 58CMP And you have 6 frames per second, and it's color; you got 15 minutes worth  –  6 frames a second, f:8, infinity, 1/250th.
00 01 17 20LMP Okay. The only question is, how much do we want to indicate on that?

DAY 1  –  Page 19
00 01 17 31LMP Outside of it  –  on the magazine?
00 01 17 36CMP Yes.
00 01 17 41CDR How does zero g feel? Your head feel funny, anybody, or anything like that?
00 01 17 44CMP No, I don't know, it just feels like we're going around upside down.
00 01 17 46LMP ... I don't know  –  even feel that.
00 01 17 49CDR I feel the horizon coming up.
00 01 17 52CMP Oh, yes.
00 01 17 54CDR Buzz, are you ready to  –   – 
00 01 17 55CMP ... 90 degrees the wrong way  –   – 
00 01 17 58CDR  –   –  are you ready for this briefing? Buzz?
00 01 18 00LMP Yes, let me get this.
00 01 18 01CDR Oh! Okay.
00 01 18 04CMP Oh, yes, stand by for sunrise.
00 01 18 09CDR Say, we got the rookie with us; he hasn't seen so many of those.
00 01 18 23CDR (Laughter) Okay. 30 seconds.
00 01 18 30CMP Oh, no, there is a possibility.
00 01 18 33CDR We haven't got too many of them on this flight, so you might as well enjoy it while you can. Buzz, how are you doing?
00 01 18 42LMP Okay, go ahead and talk.
00 01 18 44CDR Okay, I'd like to show this to you while I'm talking. It works like a camera. It has the  –  The f-stop control is right here, and you set it on f:22 which, of course, lets in the smallest amount of light, and that's a safety precaution. Now, later you'll probably find that you want to go away from f:22. Okay? Under zoom  –  Your zoom

DAY 1  –  Page 20
   control, can you see? The zoom is the middle one, and it's 12.5 millimeters on the middle one  –  See the 12.5 millimeters? That's the zoom.
00 01 19 18LMP Yes.
00 01 19 19CDR Focus is on infinity. You ought to just leave that on infinity; no doubt about that. Now, the zoom, they may want you to zoom in on the horizon a little bit, or the land or whatever. I'd start out with a wide angle at 12.5, and I'd start out with this on f:22 just for protection against getting too much light in. In all likelihood, you'll have to change that a little bit.
00 01 19 46LMP I think that  –  that's going to do it.
00 01 19 55CDR Yes, that looks good. I don't see how that can miss.
00 01 19 57CMP Jesus Christ, look at that horizon!
00 01 19 59CDR Isn't that something?
00 01 20 00CMP God damn, that's pretty; it's unreal.
00 01 20 08CDR Get a picture of that.
00 01 20 10CMP Ooh, sure, I will. I've lost a Hasselblad. ... Has anybody seen a Hasselblad floating by? It couldn't have gone very far  –  big son of a gun like that.
00 01 20 40CDR Now, what do we have  –  Is that all the  – 
00 01 20 44CMP You had the switch down  –  inside. ... automatic light control features.
00 01 21 05CMP Well, that pisses me off. Hasselblad gone. Find that mother before she or I ends the ... Everybody look for a floating Hasselblad. I see a pen floating loose down here, too. Is anybody missing a ballpoint pen?
00 01 21 17LMP Got mine. Is it ballpoint, or is it ...?
00 01 21 23CMP Yes, ballpoint. Here it is. I mean felt tip.

DAY 1  –  Page 21
00 01 21 45CMP ... much embarrassed to say they've lost a Hasselblad. I seem to be prone to that.
00 01 22 01CDR And we're about 7 minutes away, so we got about 7 minutes of practice time.
00 01 22 13CMP I've looked  –  I've looked everywhere over here for that Hasselblad, and I just don't see it.
00 01 22 21LMP You can go to your ...
00 01 22 24CDR It's too late for sunrise, anyway.
00 01 22 27CMP I know, but I'm worried about  –   – 
00 01 22 28LMP But you want to get it before TLI.
00 01 22 30CMP  –   –  I know it. That's what I'm worried about.
00 01 22 31LMP Neil, could you look around over there?
00 01 22 32CDR Yes, I'll look.
00 01 22 35CMP I don't know if we want to go through any wild contortions looking for it  –  Do we have to throw some other switches?
00 01 22 41LMP No, the switches are all thrown.
00 01 22 45CMP ... under you.
00 01 22 57CMP Buzz, you don't see the Hasselblad anywhere down below?
00 01 23 10CMP Let me go on a little expedition here. Has somebody ...?
00 01 23 18LMP I've looked already.
00 01 23 24CMP Ah! Here it is.
00 01 23 25CDR Find it?
00 01 23 26CMP Yes.
00 01 23 27CDR Beautiful.
00 01 23 28CMP It was floating in the aft bulkhead.

DAY 1  –  Page 22
00 01 23 30CDR On your side?
00 01 23 34CMP I got a way on it  –  of keeping it.
00 01 24 17CMP I got a little horizon. Man, look at that!
00 01 24 21LMP Looks like what you have to do to this, is not hold it against the window, because it's going to pick up  –   – 
00 01 24 27CDR How's the monitor, working okay for you? Anything I can do to help?
00 01 24 33CMP ...
00 01 24 46CMP I found a spot that really ... my window.
00 01 24 50LMP Yes, it looks like ... I got my  –   – 
00 01 24 51CMP Trees and a forest down there; it looks like trees and a forest or something. Looks like snow and trees. Fantastic. I have no conception of where we're pointed or which way we're going or a crapping thing, but it's a beautiful low pressure cell out here.
00 01 25 10LMP Yes, go ahead and take a picture. Keep your ... down.
00 01 25 15CMP Beautiful low pressure.
00 01 25 16LMP Must be past Hawaii by now. 01:28 is AOS.
00 01 25 22CDR Buzz, how's it going there, the monitor giving you good service?
00 01 25 25LMP Not yet  –  flicking an awful lot.
00 01 25 26CDR Well, that's ...  –  It looks to me like you're home free. Just remember now, you're going to have to get that f-stop probably off 22, maybe not  –  focus stays on infinity and the zoom beats me. You can take your choice, you can zoom with that thing all the way in if you take it fairly slowly.
00 01 25 44LMP Sun is bright, isn't it? ... It's a pretty nice camera, to tell you the truth.

DAY 1  –  Page 23
00 01 26 00CDR I think you probably want sort of a wide angle  –   – 
00 01 26 07LMP Yes, I think ... would be something ...
00 01 26 20LMP Well, if I take normal to the window, it's going to be ..., ...?
00 01 26 26CDR Yes, that would be pretty nice.
00 01 26 41CDR Getting a little of the rim there?
00 01 26 44CMP To get a little more view, you have to move down  –  away from  – 
00 01 27 18CDR Now, how we doing checklist-wise? Let's make sure we don't screw up and forget  –   – 
00 01 27 22CMP I'm working on the attitude reference check right now.
00 01 27 29LMP Now, do we need to do anything else to configure this for ... receiver?
00 01 27 32CDR No, far as I know it's all up to them.
00 01 27 50LMP Oh, shoot; they're going to  –  Let's see, they're going to have to send us up a TLI pad, TLI abort, and a P37 pad. They're all right here in this little book; don't forget to remind me of that.
00 01 28 02CMP Okay, that's good.
00 01 28 14LMP How do you think we can ...?
00 01 28 17CDR Yes, you can fold it flat; would that help you?
00 01 28 19LMP Yes.
00 01 28 20CDR That's pull  –  pull  –   – 
00 01 28 28CMP See that, Buzz? You're a TV expert.
00 01 28 48CMP Now, the next big thing we got to do is, after the attitude reference check, is extend the docking probe. No big thing. Copy down a bunch of pads and then you got your RCS hotfire.
00 01 29 08CMP That booster, when that thing  –   – 

DAY 1  –  Page 24
00 01 29 09CC Apollo 11, this is Houston through Guaymas. Over.
00 01 29 14CDR Roger, Houston. Reading you loud and clear.
00 01 29 16CC Reading you the same. Coming up on AOS Goldstone.
00 01 29 19CDR Roger.
00 01 29 21CDR It should be right now, Buzz.
00 01 29 27LMP Cecil B. De Aldrin is standing by for instructions.
00 01 29 32CC Houston. Roger.
00 01 29 40CDR Okay, and I got pads, need to extend the probe, and do an SM RCS hotfire.
00 01 29 49CMP That's right, that's the same way I read it. I don't know what this is, coming up.
00 01 29 53CDR When you  –  when you come up on this SECS LOGIC  –  and MSFN GO for pyro arm, don't forget to get an okay from them before you send the ... out.
00 01 30 09LMP Wow, I hope they get that; that's pretty.
00 01 30 11CDR With the sun glaring like it is, you're  –  you're correct on the f:22, I'm sure. It might be part of the  –   – 
00 01 53 56CC  –   –  and the launch  –  vehicle guidance are both looking to be in good shape. We estimate you have better than a 99-percent probability of a guidance cut-off on the launch vehicle. So, things are apparently holding in very well. For your information, MLA received approximately 1 minute of a usable TV picture; so, apparently the system is working. You're a little over a minute from LOS at Canary; AOS Tananarive is 2 hours 9 minutes and 18 seconds. Over.
00 01 54 34CMP Roger. We like those 99 numbers. Thank you.
00 01 54 38CC Roger. Out.
00 01 54 39CDR Okay.

DAY 1  –  Page 25
00 01 54 40CMP Now, let's see. We want to go to the suit circuit  –   – 
00 01 54 44LMP Yes, I'll get the suit circuit if I can find that valve.
00 01 54 50CMP Okay, let's see, that's the EDS POWER, ON.
00 01 54 54LMP Oh, that thing is hard.
00 01 54 59CMP What  –  what do we want here  –   – 
00 01 55 00LMP Suit's closed.
00 01 55 01CMP  –   –  on that VERB 48?
00 01 55 10CDR Ready for EDS POWER, ON, you think?
00 01 55 13CMP EDS POWER, up and ON, yes.
00 01 55 17CDR Okay, it's ON.
00 01 55 20CMP EMS FUNCTION, OFF, verify.
00 01 55 22CDR EMS FUNCTION, OFF.
00 01 55 23CMP MODE, STANDBY  –  EMS MODE, STANDBY.
00 01 55 28CDR Okay, it's at STANDBY.
00 01 55 30CMP EMS FUNCTION, DELTA-V; set range VHF A.
00 01 55 32CDR Okay.
00 01 55 33CMP Set for 1586.8.
00 01 55 34CDR Okay.
00 01 55 38CMP Then go to NORMAL. Anybody know what we're doing with VERB 48 up there?
00 01 55 54CMP What are we supposed to be putting in there?
00 01 55 58CDR ...
00 01 56 08LMP I wonder what the hell that is?
00 01 56 22CMP Just verify you got a 3 there?

DAY 1  –  Page 26
00 01 56 25LMP I guess so, that's what you need.
00 01 56 30CMP That's all you need.
00 01 56 31LMP Yes.
00 01 56 32CMP I don't know what that entry is in the checklist.
00 01 56 33CDR It doesn't matter what the other numbers are.
00 01 56 36CMP No, I mean any  –  any other weights or anything?
00 01 56 38LMP No.
00 01 56 39CMP Doesn't seem to me, for the pad we got, we  –  we want to load in any  –   – 
00 01 56 43LMP No.
00 01 56 44CMP  –   –  any of this  –  stuff. That's what we got in there, anyway.
00 01 56 45CDR Yes.
00 01 56 46CMP Maybe we can change the weight, but that's TLI plus 90; we got plenty of time.
00 01 56 56CDR We don't want to do that.
00 01 56 57LMP No.
00 01 56 58CMP It's almost the same anyway.
00 01 57 00CDR It's about the same anyway, yes.
00 01 57 06LMP Okay. You ready for the  –  your EMS MODE, NORMAL?
00 01 57 11CDR NORMAL.
00 01 57 12LMP EMS FUNCTION to DELTA-V TEST.
00 01 57 15CDR That's good; that light enough.
00 01 57 20LMP ...
00 01 57 21CMP Now, we want a GDC align.
00 01 57 24CDR Yes.

DAY 1  –  Page 27
00 01 57 25CMP Now, let's see  –   – 
00 01 57 27CDR Minus 19.9.
00 01 57 29CMP That's alright  –  minus 0.1 to  –  can you write that one down?
00 01 57 34CDR It's real close.
00 01 57 37CMP Yes.
00 01 57 41CDR That's just about perfect.
00 01 57 44LMP Alright. EMS MODE, STANDBY.
00 01 57 48CDR STANDBY.
00 01 57 51LMP And EMS FUNCTION, DELTA-V, set. Set DELTA-VC. You got the number?
00 01 58 03CMP Yes. 10 4256.
00 01 58 10CDR 4256? How about 4356?
00 01 58 16LMP That's right, 4356.
00 01 58 25CDR And how about ORDEAL? Does that go back, Buzz?
00 01 58 28LMP Yes.
00 01 58 35CDR I guess we got all of those  – 
00 01 58 49CMP Where did all those numbers come from?
00 01 58 54CDR Yes; much better.
00 01 58 57CMP They give us a new state vector?
00 01 59 00CDR Yes.
00 01 59 02LMP Yes, they did.
00 01 59 03CDR They did, yes.
00 01 59 04CMP No, that's VERB 66. ... apogee  –  perigee.
00 01 59 25LMP I'll just put a question mark here about  –  not show our ignorance.

DAY 1  –  Page 28
00 01 59 32CMP Well, looks like we're picking up a little. That sound reasonable? 1166?
00 01 59 40CDR ... the time, is that right?
00 01 59 41LMP The S-IVB?
00 01 59 45CMP Yes, you add about 4 or 5 miles to your orbit  –  apogee  –  perigee.
00 01 59 49CDR Yes.
00 01 59 51LMP Yes, that's too much.
00 01 59 54CDR We're up to 6 ...
00 02 00 00LMP That thing ... now, that may not be now; that may be at TLI.
00 02 00 18LMP I don't have any reason not to believe it.
00 02 00 21CDR No.
00 02 00 25CMP If it isn't any good, we'll need another one anyway, huh? So, there isn't any point in saving the other one.
00 02 00 32CDR Okay.
00 02 00 33CMP VERB 66.
00 02 00 39CDR Okay. 10 435.6.

00 02 01 00CMP DELTA-V.
00 02 01 01LMP GDC align is at  –  What's this "D"?
00 02 01 12CDR Huh?
00 02 01 13CMP That means ...
00 02 01 15LMP Oh.
00 02 01 16CMP Won't get them on S-BAND.
00 02 01 17LMP S what?

DAY 1  –  Page 29
00 02 01 19CMP VHF.
00 02 01 20LMP Okay. A SIMPLEX, it should be on.
00 02 01 23CMP Set ORDEAL? Do something with it, anyway.
00 02 01 28LMP Let's see, ORDEAL is  –   – 
00 02 01 29CMP What happened to that card that was here?
00 02 01 30LMP I already fired it.
00 02 01 32CDR What was that?
00 02 01 33CMP Um hum.
00 02 01 34CDR Saturn boost? This was a boost card.
00 02 01 38LMP Okay.
00 02 01 39CMP You can't have that.
00 02 01 42LMP You don't want that one, do you?
00 02 01 43CMP No.
00 02 01 44LMP Trade it  –  for a good one.
00 02 01 55CMP How about some LM pointing angles?
00 02 02 03LMP Okay, let's do one more. We're going first opportunity, you think?
00 02 02 22CMP Burn time is 05 plus 47.
00 02 02 24CDR Yes.
00 02 02 27CMP And emergency shutdown, Neil, is plus 10 seconds; 10 minus 40 on the DELTA-VC, is that right?
00 02 02 32LMP Plus 6 seconds  –  plus 6.
00 02 02 39CMP And  –  no  –  no, I'm sure about that minus.
00 02 02 43LMP No, no, it's not; it's only ...
00 02 02 45CMP No, it's plus 6 seconds and VI on the DSKY at G&N.

DAY 1  –  Page 30
00 02 02 58CDR I think that's going to show up here, isn't it?
00 02 03 01LMP What?
00 02 03 03CDR TLI?
00 02 03 04CMP The roll?
00 02 03 05CDR Burn ...
00 02 03 06CMP They're in the damn flight plan; I don't think they're in the checklist.
00 02 03 27LMP Alright. You got ORDEAL set in some way?
00 02 03 30CDR ORDEAL is okay.
00 02 03 33LMP Well, do you want to get ahead on a few things?
00 02 03 38CDR Well, give me an example.
00 02 03 44LMP We don't need the sequence pyro arm yet, huh?
00 02 03 47CDR No. Don't want to do that until  – 
00 02 03 52LMP TRANS CONTROL POWER, ON?
00 02 03 54CDR It's ON.
00 02 03 55LMP ROT CONTROL POWER, NORMAL, two of them, AC/DC?
00 02 03 58CDR There you go.

00 02 04 04CDR Okay.
00 02 04 12LMP LAUNCH VEHICLE indicators: GPI to S-II/S-IVB. GUIDANCE to IU.
00 02 04 24LMP That IU?
00 02 04 26CDR Yes.
00 02 04 27CMP Have we got pyros armed?
00 02 04 28CDR No.

00 02 04 29LMP No.
00 02 04 30CMP Okay.
00 02 04 33LMP CB, DIRECT ULLAGE, two of them, CLOSED.
00 02 04 38CDR Better wait awhile on that.
00 02 04 44LMP Okay, how about cranking the event timer to 51:00, then?
00 02 04 52CDR What's burn time? Ignition time? 2 what?
00 02 04 59CMP 35, 30 minutes.
00 02 05 03LMP Well, that's going to be ...
00 02 05 08CDR Okay, I'll set up the event timer.
00 02 05 47CDR Burn time is 05:20.
00 02 06 07CMP DELTA-VI  –  going to be ...
00 02 06 45CMP Sure you got  –  you got your checklist here, haven't you? Yes.
00 02 06 48LMP Yes, they put all this TLI crap in my checklist; even though I took it out, they put it back in.
00 02 06 52CMP Well, Mattingly assured me that I was going to have a circular velocity versus altitude, you know, when they get me at 100 miles on the other side?
00 02 07 02LMP It's not in here, either, I looked.
00 02 07 04CMP Where would it be? It'd be right in here  – 
00 02 07 06LMP I finally gave it to ...
00 02 07 16CMP Hey, that's  –  you know what the numbers are, roughly.
00 02 07 24CDR 25  –  25 550 at a 100 miles  –  something like that, it changes, probably  –   – 
00 02 07 31CMP Yes, but this was to be  –  What do you have on this side to give you that on the other side?

DAY 1  –  Page 32
00 02 07 49LMP I'm running a little bit on the warm side; how are you guys ... along?
00 02 07 53CDR Probably a tad on the warm side.
00 02 07 59LMP Suit and cabin pressures both look  –  I guess we should be cool.
00 02 08 06CDR Should be about 100 ...  –  okay  – 
00 02 08 10LMP Water  –  boiling  –  ... potable ...
00 02 08 18CMP Fuel cells ... water. It goes to potable tank first and then we  –  we get it.
00 02 08 24LMP Oh  –  stop there?
00 02 08 25CMP Yes.
00 02 08 26CDR Coming into the terminator.
00 02 08 46CMP Gee, I'm really disappointed over those optics; that telescope is horrible. Maybe it'll get better with practice  –  or adaptation, or what have you.
00 02 09 38CDR Gee, I almost went to sleep then.
00 02 09 40CMP Me, too; I'm taking a little rest.
00 02 09 48LMP It's going to be a long day.
00 02 10 03LMP How'd the  –  is this the first part of the attitude comparison check or the second part?
00 02 10 10CDR I haven't done the second GDC align yet; it comes up on the next page. About now, I guess.
00 02 10 25CMP Well, we should have Tananarive. How about going  –  pressing ahead with the sequence pyro arm?
00 02 10 31CDR Okay, let me align the GDC.
00 02 10 46CDR Well, they cleverly do this on  –  just on opposite sides of the world so you always have to pitch  –  run all the thumbwheels the maximum amount.

DAY 1  –  Page 33
00 02 10 56CC Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston standing by through Tananarive. Over.
00 02 11 03CDR Houston, Apollo 11. Roger.
00 02 11 05CC Roger. Reading you loud and clear.
00 02 11 10LMP You get the pyro armed?
00 02 11 12CDR No, I haven't. Just a second, I'll be right with you.
00 02 11 24LMP Get 51 on the event timer?
00 02 11 34CMP We stopped boiling water.
00 02 11 37LMP That's good.
00 02 11 41CDR Old son of a gun.
00 02 11 46LMP Okay on the temperatures.
00 02 11 50CMP Looks like the setting on the AUTO thing is such that it just runs a little cold.
00 02 11 56CDR Yes, that's right. That's  –  that's what I think, too.
00 02 12 05CMP ... have a feeling I have a ball in here.
00 02 12 09CDR Okay, the GDC is  –  is aligned. Ready to proceed.
00 02 12 15LMP Okay. We've got the VERB 48 in, VERB 83, ORDEAL set, and SEQUENCE PYRO ARM.
00 02 12 26CDR Okay. Stand by for a blast. One's ON. Two's ON.
00 02 12 35LMP Houston, Apollo 11. We have the pyros armed.
00 02 12 39CDR Okay.
00 02 12 40CC This is Houston. Roger; out.
00 02 12 41LMP TRANS CONTROL POWER's ON. ROT CONTROL POWER, NORMAL, two, AC/DC.
00 02 12 45CDR They're all up.

DAY 1  –  Page 34
00 02 12 46LMP DIRECT? MAIN A/MAIN B.
00 02 12 49CDR DIRECT.
00 02 12 50LMP S-II/S-IVB.

00 02 13 01CDR Okay.
00 02 13 02LMP And the event timer's set.
00 02 13 06CMP Now, why don't you  –  why don't you put ORDEAL on 200/LUNAR?
00 02 13 15CDR Alright.
00 02 13 17CMP Maybe you can start figuring out what the hell that ought to be.
00 02 13 32CMP I guess  –  leave them on INERTIAL for the time being.
00 02 13 45CDR Beyond my ability to  –  compute here right now.
00 02 14 10CDR ...?
00 02 14 27LMP You're not worried now on that thing.
00 02 14 29CMP When the motor lights up, he's worried.
00 02 14 38CDR ... 190, 110 degrees.
00 02 14 50CMP Got a long way around, yet.
00 02 15 23CC Apollo 11, this is Houston. 1 minute to LOS Tananarive; AOS at Carnarvon, 02:25:30.
00 02 15 35LMP Roger.
00 02 15 36CDR 02:25:30.
00 02 15 37LMP Yes. 02:25. ...

DAY 1  –  Page 35
00 02 15 58CMP Why did they do that? That should be up here, before 02:35.
00 02 16 10LMP I don't know. It's screwed up in here anyway.
00 02 16 29CDR Well, weren't they giving us two abort pads before?
00 02 16 33CMP No, TLI plus 90 and TLI plus 4 hours. And now the TLI plus 4 hours is TLI plus 5 hours, P37.
00 02 16 44CDR Oh, is that right?
00 02 16 45CMP Yes. Got them on the same page.
00 02 16 49CDR Yes, they're on the same page.
00 02 16 50CMP Yes, I was expecting them to get something in.
00 02 17 29CMP Going to have to break your ... here, I mean  –  your LMP handhold.
00 02 17 35LMP Oh, my G&N handhold; don't do that. ... managed to hang on to it, ... up there.
00 02 17 44CMP Holding against the ...  –  the couch.
00 02 18 13CMP Well, let's see ...
00 02 18 35CMP Think I was that slow punching the clock?
00 02 18 39LMP Huh?
00 02 18 40CMP I wonder if I was that slow getting everything going? I ought to have given them a second or ...
00 02 18 56LMP It didn't seem to me as though there was a tremendous cue; there's no doubt that you were moving, but to say exactly what the precise time was when you started to move, I think you'd call it whenever the thing started vibrating.
00 02 19 12CMP Yes, I didn't know when the hell we were airborne; I just took his word for it. It was sure shaking, rattling, and rolling, son of a bitch!
00 02 19 46LMP Wake me up at TLI, somebody.
00 02 19 50CDR Another 15 minutes, just time to sleep.

DAY 1  –  Page 36
00 02 19 52CMP You need to get out the alarm clock.
00 02 20 06CDR I don't know, I think I'll just put my window guard up.
00 02 20 12CMP Yes.
00 02 20 32CMP Whopseedoo, we picked up an S-BAND. No noise.
00 02 20 45CDR What's VERB 85 going to tell me  –  if I call that up, Mike?
00 02 20 50CMP It tells you range  –  range rate in C, which is the angle between your  –  optics line of sight and the horizon, depending on what  –   – 
00 02 21 03CDR What's that little bump in the ... somebody?
00 02 21 06CMP That's me; I  –  I'm thrashing around over here a little bit.
00 02 21 08LMP I  –  if you wonder, I stuffed my launch checklist and  –  in the little gap between the  – 
00 02 21 19CMP You don't have a launch checklist.
00 02 21 22LMP My cue card.
00 02 21 23CMP Oh.
00 02 21 24LMP In between the  –  the Y-Y strut and the wall over here, to keep it from bouncing around.
00 02 21 31CMP Oh.
00 02 21 32LMP ...
00 02 21 34CMP Yes, that says 58-½ degrees, huh?
00 02 21 40CDR Yes.
00 02 21 42CMP ... 57-½ isn't that something like that? Now wait a minute.
00 02 21 50CDR Yes, 57-½ degrees.
00 02 21 52CMP I guess they're ... about on the horizon anyway. Yes, okay.

DAY 1  –  Page 37
00 02 21 55CDR Huh?
00 02 21 56CMP Buzz, I put 39.5 volts over here; that's a reminder on the battery check  –  real good on the wall. Okay, Neil, now TLI  –  I'm going to write on the wall here  –  TLI  –  nominal is 05 plus 47; and 6 seconds later, it's 05 plus 53. And you want me to let you know when that is; I'll yell "cut-off" at that time.
00 02 22 27CDR Okay.
00 02 22 38CMP Now, we want to get what that time's going to be up there. Is that alright, Neil?
00 02 22 43CDR Yes, that's right. 05:53, I want it yelled.
00 02 22 45CMP Okay. I'll yell "cut-off," huh?
00 02 22 57CDR Yes, I guess. And I'll cut off if the G&N says  –   – 
00 02 23 04CMP Agreed.
00 02 23 05CDR  –   –  we're overburned.
00 02 23 06LMP That's right.
00 02 23 39CMP You got that TRANSLUNAR switched to INJECT, huh?
00 02 23 41CDR Yes, to INJECT.
00 02 23 47LMP EDS POWER, you got ON?
00 02 23 49CDR EDS POWER is ON.
00 02 23 53LMP PYROs are ARMED?
00 02 23 55CDR PYROs are  –  four breakers are in, and switches are up.
00 02 24 06LMP Okay, on this thing here, we should be reading 02:41:01, shutdown, and  –   – 
00 02 24 14CDR Add 6 seconds to it?
00 02 24 15LMP Yes. At 07, cut-off.
00 02 24 48LMP BLOCK, BLOCK. SPACECRAFT CONTROL to SCS?

DAY 1  –  Page 38
00 02 24 53CDR It is.
00 02 24 57LMP Tank pressures looking alright?
00 02 25 02CDR Tank pressures are looking good.
00 02 43 18CC Apollo 11, this is Houston. Slightly less than 1 minute to ignition, and everything is GO.
00 02 43 42CDR Okay, 59:25  –  and this light will go off at 42  – 
00 02 43 53CMP Time is based on tracking data; let me know when you start it up.
00 02 43 54LMP Okay.
00 02 43 59CDR When you feel it, that's when it is.
00 02 44 01LMP Okay, this light is out  –  know any of it any more.
00 02 44 09CDR Okay, we're operate  –  59:59.
00 02 44 16LMP There we go; thrust.
00 02 44 18CDR IGNITION. Call it at 15.
00 02 44 22CMP Okay.
00 02 44 26CDR Whew!
00 02 44 27CC We confirm ignition, and the thrust is GO.
00 02 44 33CDR Pressures look good.
00 02 44 37CMP Flashes out window number 5.
00 02 44 38MS ...
00 02 44 40CMP I'm not sure whether that's  –  it could be lightning, or it could be something to do with the engine  – 
00 02 44 59CMP Continual flashes ...
00 02 45 09LMP About 2 degrees off in the pitch ...
00 02 45 12CDR Yes, wouldn't worry too much about that.

DAY 1  –  Page 39
00 02 45 14CC Apollo 11, this is Houston. At 1 minute, trajectory and guidance look good, and the stage is good. Over.
00 02 45 21CDR Apollo 11. Roger.
00 02 45 50CMP Don't look out window 1. If you're  –  if it looks like what I see out window 5, you don't want to look at it (laughter).
00 02 45 55CDR I don't see anything.
00 02 45 56LMP Why?
00 02 45 57CMP These flashes out here  –   – 
00 02 45 58CDR Oh, I see a little flashing out there, yes.
00 02 46 03CMP You see that? Buzz is usually looking  –  just watch window 5 for a second. See it?
00 02 46 10LMP Yes, yes. Damn, everything's  –  just kind of sparks flying out there.
00 02 46 14CMP Yes, that's  –  Oopsedo.
00 02 46 16CDR Man, that really  –   – 
00 02 46 18CMP That's PU shift?
00 02 46 19CDR I don't know, but it sure put a little blip in there at 2 minutes; I think it increased in thrust.
00 02 46 24CMP Think it's the PU shift?
00 02 46 26CC Apollo 11, this is Houston. Thrust is good; everything's still looking good.
00 02 46 32CMP That's about like a pitch change rather than an acceleration increase. Did it feel that way to you?
00 02 46 38CDR Okay. We got a lighted horizon at 2-½ minutes. Pretty horizon.
00 02 46 48LMP A fairly smooth ride, you know; it's just a little tiny bit rattly, but nothing like Stafford's  –  H-dot looks great. Don't bet you could do any better.

DAY 1  –  Page 40
00 02 46 58CMP I'm sure I couldn't. I'd do worse because I'd be a  –  a full degree off from where it is right now.
00 02 47 14LMP Don't sweat that. 3 minutes.
00 02 47 16CMP 3 minutes. What we got, about one g, Neil?
00 02 47 24LMP Pressures are good  –   – 
00 02 47 25CMP Yes, we've got 3 feet per second  –   – 
00 02 47 26CDR Just under one g.
00 02 47 27LMP Mike, we're within 3 feet per second on the card H-dot.
00 02 47 32CMP Fantastic. And it's shaking everything a little bit.
00 02 47 34LMP Shaking at 3 minutes.
00 02 47 35CDR Okay.
00 02 47 36LMP I hope that camera doesn't fall on your face.
00 02 47 38CMP I checked it; it's locked in there pretty well. Won't hurt this visor  – 
00 02 47 43CDR 03:30 coming up  –  Should be 5.5, and it is 5.5.
00 02 47 53CMP Nice ride.
00 02 47 54CC Apollo 11, this is Houston. At 3-½ minutes, you're still looking good. Your predicted cut-off is right on the nominal.
00 02 48 04CDR Roger. Apollo 11's GO.
00 02 48 07CMP I see a bright star out there, must be Venus. Forgot to memorize John Mayer's views out the window well enough to say that's Venus or not, but it's sure bright.
00 02 48 17LMP What would you do about it?
00 02 48 18CMP Nothing.
00 02 48 19CDR 4 minutes  – 

DAY 1  –  Page 41
00 02 48 20CMP Tell you what  –  that's Venus.
00 02 48 22LMP 10 feet per second off on H-dot  – 
00 02 48 25CMP ..., that's about where it is.
00 02 48 27LMP Here comes the old sun.
00 02 48 29CMP Gee, that's going to be bright.
00 02 48 31CDR Glad I got my card up.
00 02 48 32CMP I'm glad you had  –  you do too, Neil; that was a good idea, a hell of a good idea. I can't see  –  well, my tapes are ... I can't ... see very much.
00 02 48 42CDR Coming up on 04:30. How you look, Buzz?
00 02 48 49LMP Looks good. Oh, about 14 feet per second right now. The altitude's very good. We ought to get a real good 5-minute cut at the ...
00 02 49 12LMP You guys agree with my mark; we'll be 5 minutes?

03 03 47 11CDR That's right. Guess we want to turn it on at 2 minutes  –  Want to wait awhile?
03 03 47 19CMP You already asked them that and they said turn it on at 2 minutes.

DAY 4  –  Page 57
03 03 47 21CDR I never saw any lights, so they never saw a signal so everything looks good. Put it on 2 minutes and be ready to turn it off.
03 03 47 27CMP Okay. I'll be ready. Coming up on 2 minutes.

DAY 4  –  Page 59
03 03 50 36LMP Okay.
03 03 50 38CMP Pitch trim is up at 1.5 degrees, cycling about that, which is a little bit off the SIM value. Yaw trim is cycling about zero. Chamber pressure  –   – 
03 03 50 49LMP ...

03 03 51 09CDR Okay, that should be gray  – 
03 03 51 13CMP g feels sort of pleasant, doesn't it? We're measuring just a shadow over zero g on the g-meter.
03 03 51 19LMP Tank pressures are good.
03 03 51 20CMP Okay. The chamber pressure is holding steady as a rock. It's holding  –  it's building up a little bit, actually; it's up around 96 now. Gimbals are sure a little bit busier than I would have guessed.
03 03 51 36CDR That's a little more chamber pressure than they were predicting.
03 03 51 42CMP Yes, they're all plus 95.
03 03 51 44CDR We may  –   –

03 03 52 35LMP  –   –  more than just gray.
03 03 52 36CMP Yes, there's a little pinging in there. That might have jammed; keep your arms off the cockpit, ... all day to look at that thing.
03 03 52 42LMP Look at that thing; that's just where I want it. What do you think about that? A tad low. We're not going to  –  match it  –  ... creep up. Okay? Pressure is on INCREASE  –   – 
03 03 53 04CDR Tank pressures are still good.
03 03 53 05LMP  –   –  ... at the beginning.

03 03 54 11CMP ..., didn't recognize it ....
03 03 54 23CMP Pitch trim is holding a little over 2; it's oscillating between 2 and 2.4, roughly. Yaw trim is oscillating between minus 0.5 and zero. It's just sort of aimlessly wandering back and forth between those values. Rates are still wandering; they're deadbanding the rates in all three axes; they're plus or minus 0.1 a degree.
03 03 54 53CDR We're now predicting 5 seconds early, 05:57.
03 03 54 57CMP Chamber pressure is 100 psi even.

03 04 03 03CMP You are, aren't you?
03 04 03 04CDR I'm rolling right.
03 04 03 07CMP Boy, they rate some rough country over there.
03 04 03 09CDR You might get it coming sideways here; stand by in case it does. What's the AOS time?
03 04 03 15LMP It was 15 with the burn. 15:23, something like that.
03 04 03 23CMP Just be with you in 10 seconds, Neil; I just want to get my  –   – 
03 04 03 27LMP We ought to be able to get it  –   – 
03 04 03 28CMP  –   –  book put back together here.
03 04 03 29LMP  –   –  a couple of good shots.
03 04 03 33CMP The earth's going to be over here?
03 04 03 35CDR AOS, 76:15. That's exact  –   – 
03 04 03 38LMP Can you verify that you got the state vectors transferred with the VERB 83?
03 04 03 41CDR I'll do that.
03 04 03 47LMP Now, what else we got?

DAY 4  –  Page 70
03 04 03 49CDR Coming up there.
03 04 03 53LMP ... Eyeballing and chattering. We got the burn status report? That's all?
03 04 04 02CMP Ready to go.
03 04 04 05LMP Okay, that looks good. Give me a VERB  –  64.
03 04 04 12CDR What happened?
03 04 04 27LMP Ought to wash this window over here  –   – 
03 04 04 28CDR You have a map so we can look at ...
03 04 04 30LMP Anybody got a  –   – 
03 04 04 31CMP Yes, it  –   – 
03 04 04 32LMP  –   –  anybody got a Kleenex?
03 04 04 33CDR Yes, I think I've got one. Here you go.
03 04 04 40CMP Here's one; it's a little moist, though.
03 04 04 43LMP ...
03 04 04 49CMP Well, one more ... burn.
03 04 04 53LMP Two more.
03 04 04 57CDR You got two more.
03 04 04 59LMP Yes, ... got a few more.
03 04 05 05CMP Look at those craters in a row. You see them right  –  going right out there?
03 04 05 07CDR ...
03 04 05 08CMP Look at that line of them.
03 04 05 10CDR ...
03 04 05 13LMP ...

DAY 4  –  Page 71
03 04 05 15CMP Something really peppered that one. There's a lot less variation in color than I would have thought, you know, looking down?
03 04 05 26LMP Yes, but when you look down, you say it's brownish color?
03 04 05 29CMP Sure.
03 04 05 32LMP Oh, golly, let me have that camera back. There's a huge, magnificent crater over here. I wish we had the other lens on, but God, that's a big beauty. You want to look at that guy, Neil?
03 04 05 43CDR Yes, I see him.
03 04 05 45LMP He's coming your way.
03 04 05 48CDR That dark spot.
03 04 05 50LMP Oh, let me  –  here, let me  –   – 
03 04 05 53CMP Well, there's no doubt that this is a little smaller than the earth  –   – 
03 04 05 57LMP Look at that one.
03 04 05 58CMP  –   –  would you look at that curvature?
03 04 06 01LMP Where is that dark spot?
03 04 06 02CDR The dark spot's right up here. You want to get the other lens on?
03 04 06 06LMP Yes.
03 04 06 07CMP Don't you want to get the earth coming up? It's going to be 9 minutes.
03 04 06 11LMP Yes, let's take some pictures here, first.
03 04 06 15CMP Well, don't miss that first one.
03 04 06 16LMP See how am I doing. Yes, you're right.
03 04 06 21CDR We'll need  –  we need to catch it about 10.
03 04 06 27CMP Shoot, you're going to have plenty of passes.

DAY 4  –  Page 72
03 04 06 30LMP Yes, right.
03 04 06 33CMP Plenty of earthrises, I guess.
03 04 06 37CDR Yes, we are.
03 04 06 38CMP Are we about there?
03 04 06 40CDR Boy, look at that ... crater. You can probably see him right there.
03 04 06 44CMP Yes, that's what I was talking about just a minute ago. It's kind of hard to believe that that's volcanic and formed by some faulting, isn't it? I don't believe that  –  but it's such a perfect straight line.
03 04 07 05CMP Hope none of those meteors come by right now.
03 04 07 18CMP Let me look through the sextant, Neil.
03 04 07 41CMP Well, where's the freaking earth going to be now? I'm confused.
03 04 07 46LMP In plane, I hope.
03 04 07 50CDR How are you doing on your roll there?
03 04 07 52LMP Well, we got about another 60 degrees to go. When's AOS?
03 04 08 00CDR 15  –  we're 7 minutes away.
03 04 08 03LMP Okay.
03 04 08 37CDR What a spectacular view!
03 04 08 48CMP God, look at that moon!
03 04 09 20CMP Fantastic. Look back there behind us, sure looks like a gigantic crater; look at the mountains going around it. My gosh, they're monsters.
03 04 09 58CDR See that real big  –   – 
03 04 10 01CMP Yes, there's a moose down here you just wouldn't believe. There's the biggest one yet. God, it's

DAY 4  –  Page 73
   huge! It is enormous! It's so big I can't even get it in the window. You want to look at that? That's the biggest one you ever seen in your life. Neil? God, look at this central mountain peak.
03 04 10 23MS ...
03 04 10 24CMP Isn't that a huge one?
03 04 10 26CDR Look at the ... Did you get some pictures of that?
03 04 10 29CMP Yes, I just took one. Can take another one here when he gets around a little better. It's fantastic!
03 04 10 35CDR That's kind of a foggy window.
03 04 10 37CMP That's a horrible window. It's too bad we have to shoot through this one, but  –  Oh, boy, you could spend a lifetime just geologizing that one crater alone, you know that?
03 04 10 51CDR You could.
03 04 10 53CMP That's not how I'd like to spend my lifetime, but  –  picture that. Beautiful!
03 04 11 01LMP Yes, there's a big mother over here, too.
03 04 11 07CMP Come on now, Buzz, don't refer to them as big mothers; give them some scientific name.
03 04 11 17LMP It sure looks like a lot of them have slumped down.
03 04 11 20CMP A slumping big mother. Well, you see those every once in a while.
03 04 11 26LMP Most of them are slumping. The bigger they are, the more they slump  –  that's a truism, isn't it?
03 04 11 41LMP That is, the older they get.
03 04 11 50CDR Well, we're at 180 degrees, and now we're going to want to stop that and start a slow pitchdown. We want to go  –   – 
03 04 11 59LMP We're not going to see the earth come up over the horizon.

DAY 4  –  Page 74
03 04 12 02CDR  –   –  about 70 degrees.
03 04 12 03CMP It says pitchdown or pitchup?
03 04 12 04CDR Pitchdown, so we're looking forward.
03 04 12 06CMP Pitchdown, so we're looking forward, alright. I wonder what kind of a rate we ought to  –   – 
03 04 12 11LMP We got 4 minutes to get down.
03 04 12 13CMP Alright.
03 04 12 14LMP Never make it. There's a couple of new craters.
03 04 12 25CDR There's a good view of that  – 
03 04 12 29LMP Look warm down there, Neil?
03 04 12 32CDR I sure can't tell.
03 04 12 35LMP Looks hotter than hell to me. Boy, look at the size of that one.
03 04 12 47CMP Golly! Whoo! Get another picture of that big fellow.
03 04 12 51CDR Yes. I'm going to take one out here of him.
03 04 12 59LMP I've got an Easter egg coming up, gentlemen.
03 04 13 02CDR That's good. Gosh, it's 1 o'clock already.
03 04 13 07LMP Hey, you know, we got a TV show at  – 
03 04 13 14MS ...
03 04 13 15CMP Huh?
03 04 13 16CDR The next REV around, that is.
03 04 13 18LMP Before LOI 2.
03 04 13 20CDR Yes.
03 04 13 24CMP Could you give me a gimbal angle to pitch to?

DAY 4  –  Page 75
03 04 13 26CDR What are you going to do on that one?
03 04 13 29CMP Oh, I guess  –  get 10 pictures of the moon.
03 04 13 36LMP What did you want, Mike?
03 04 13 39CMP A gimbal angle to pitch to  –  if it's pitchdown 70  –  why, let's see, from 226, that's 70, that's 296?
03 04 13 54LMP Yes, you were at 2  – 
03 04 13 58CMP 296, I would guess. How many minutes we got  –  to AOS?
03 04 14 08CDR About another minute and a half.
03 04 14 09LMP (Coughing)
03 04 14 17CMP I rolled to slow  –  doubt that we'll make it. Oh, look what I got. ...
03 04 14 32CMP Golly damn! A geologist up here would just go crazy.
03 04 14 40LMP You want the flight plan?
03 04 14 43CDR Yes, please.
03 04 14 57CMP Okay, we shouldn't take any more pictures on this roll until earth comes, I don't think; this is  –   – 
03 04 15 01CDR About out?
03 04 15 02CMP  –   –  just about out and it's on our last color roll, so we'll switch to black and white as soon as we get to earth.
03 04 15 07CDR We might make it in time.
03 04 15 09CMP Yes.
03 04 15 13LMP There it is, it's coming up!
03 04 15 15CMP What?
03 04 15 16LMP The earth. See it?

DAY 4  –  Page 76
03 04 15 17CMP Yes. Beautiful.
03 04 15 21LMP It's halfway up.
03 04 15 23CDR We ought to have AOS now.
03 04 15 25CMP You got your  –   – 
03 04 15 26LMP Right over the LM.
03 04 15 28CDR Are you set up?
03 04 15 30LMP Just about to be cut off by the LM. Boy, does that ever look beautiful in the sextant.
03 04 15 36CMP Have you got  –   – 
03 04 15 37CDR Okay, how about MSFN  – 
03 04 15 39CMP/LMP You got them.
03 04 15 42CDR We're in OMNI  –   – 
03 04 15 45LMP DOWN VOICE BACKUP.
03 04 15 46CDR  –   –  Bravo.
03 04 15 48CC Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston. Do you read? Over.
03 04 15 52LMP Yes, we sure do, Houston. The LOI 1 burn just nominal as all get out, and everything's looking good.
03 04 16 00CC Apollo 11, Apollo 11  –   – 
03 05 41 15CMP That's why I'm trying to get it out.
03 05 42 16CDR No alignment this REV, huh?
03 05 43 02LMP Mike, I guess the name of the game is to go back to  –  B OMNI?
03 05 43 10CMP Huh?
03 05 43 12LMP Go back to B in OMNI?

DAY 4  –  Page 77
03 05 43 17CMP Well, let's see  –  when we come over the hill next time, we're supposed to have them on the high gain, I think.
03 05 43 25CDR Not sure of that.
03 05 43 29CMP ...
03 05 43 31LMP Did you use this thing?
03 05 43 33CDR No.
03 05 43 34LMP Well, let's get rid of it then; I can't see a crapping ...
03 05 44 26LMP 77:44  –  okay,  –  LOS is right on schedule.
03 05 44 35CMP 77:50, we'll be at the prime meridian; now, I can set that map up so it'll tell us where we are.
03 05 44 43CDR Okay.
03 05 44 45LMP We  –  we're ahead on this eat period  –  we're behind on the last eat period or something. We got a ...
03 05 45 15CMP I think, Buzz, if you put  –  put the HIGH GAIN to MANUAL and go pitch 20  –  yaw 360  –  pitch minus 20, I guess  –   – 
03 05 45 26LMP Minus 20; yes, that would be better.
03 05 45 28CMP  –   –  and yaw 360  –   – 
03 05 45 29LMP That's okay assuming I'm at the right attitude, but I ain't going to be at the right attitude  –  not without wasting a lot of gas. Put  – 
03 05 45 36CMP That's fine, but  – 
03 05 45 42CDR If you did, it would be very interesting that way.
03 05 45 46LMP Yes. Oh, crap.
03 05 45 55CDR We get HIGH GAIN and we get TV at the same time  –   – 
03 05 45 58CMP Well, I better start maneuvering then; doggone it, I've been yawed out of plane somehow. Let's see,

DAY 4  –  Page 78
   we're pitched down  –  we want to pitch back up  –  pitched down, doggone it. ACCEL COMMAND, pitch down.
03 05 46 17CDR Okay, well  –  are we going to unlock the camera store and get all that claptrap put together?
03 05 46 23LMP Yes.
03 05 46 24CDR Okay.
03 05 46 42LMP Which window you want to operate out of, so I can figure out how to put the monitor on?
03 05 46 48CDR Well, I suppose the best one would be the center window, don't you think?
03 05 46 57LMP Probably, I don't know; wait until we get into attitude.
03 05 47 01CDR Get into attitude  –  see what we think.
03 05 48 19CMP Oh, shit; this pitch here is no good; 32, huh? Pitch 315 I want to be at, huh? Alright. They keep  –  all they do is they say ORB rate and that little attitude right there and right there applies to the rest of this page, all of that page, and over to this page.
03 05 48 46CDR Okay, so that's the one we'll do.
03 05 48 50CMP Okay, that's the way I'm rolling.
03 05 48 51CDR And we'll take the  –  we'll have HIGH GAIN  –   – 
03 05 48 54CMP Yes.
03 05 48 55CDR  –   –  and we'll get the camera out of the center window, if that looks reasonable.
03 05 49 02CMP Okay.
03 05 49 06CDR We'll have to give them pictures of the moon.
03 05 49 07CMP ... I've been plotting on them ... 50:05.
03 05 49 14CDR We'll have a gouge as to where we are.

DAY 4  –  Page 79
03 05 49 22CMP 55  – 
03 05 50 35LMP Outside, huh? Alright, the switch is set for outside.
03 05 50 41CMP Could I have that map that y'all were looking at before, that lunar map? Thank you.
03 05 51 03CDR Hmm  –  here comes the moon.
03 05 51 16LMP Really beautiful.
03 05 51 29CDR Hey, you  –   – 
03 05 51 30CMP I wonder where we are.
03 05 51 31CDR  –   –  we're going to stop here pretty soon, right?
03 05 51 33CMP Yes, at 315.
03 05 51 41SC (Whistling)
03 05 51 56CMP Man, that's really  – 
03 05 51 58CDR It really looks gray to me now.
03 05 52 07CDR ...?
03 05 52 10LMP ... right down toward the ground here.
03 06 22 10CDR  –   –  and you could be busy getting up supplies if you ...
03 06 22 16CMP About a minute from AOS.
03 06 22 19LMP Okay, let's get out of this; let me get VERB 62. Okay, Mike?
03 06 22 22CMP Oh, I really need these ..., Buzz; I really need these goddam ...
03 06 22 26LMP Well, we're not going to have much of a TV unless we get high gain.
03 06 22 30CMP Alright.
03 06 22 32LMP I'll give it back to you  –  ...

DAY 4  –  Page 80
03 06 22 50CDR You got yourself some rates going about like what you want?
03 06 22 55LMP You got  –  you got high gain right now, I mean the angles, right now.
03 06 23 00CMP And we're 23  –  we're 30 seconds from AOS, so those angles should be okay. You reading them?
03 06 23 08CDR Minus 30 pitch  –   – 
03 06 23 10CMP Yes.
03 06 23 11CDR  –   –  150 yaw, okay.
03 06 23 12LMP No, that's not 150  –  that's 15. Isn't it?
03 06 23 14CDR Just a second. Yes, minus  –  I'm sorry, minus 31 and plus 15. Right. You got it?
03 06 23 27CMP Yes.
03 06 23 34CDR I don't know what f-stop I ought to be at  –  Well  –  See what it's doing, Mike?
03 06 23 42CMP ...
03 06 23 44CDR The flicker I don't know about, the white dot is  –   – 
03 06 23 47LMP Yes, the flicker  –   – 
03 06 23 48CDR  –   –  the flicker is what I'm  –  Nothing I can  –   – 
03 06 23 50CMP Okay, we got it solid.
03 06 23 52CDR  –   –  nothing you can do about the flicker.
03 06 23 55CMP Got it solid on AUTO.
03 06 24 07LMP Houston, Apollo 11. Are you picking up our signal okay?
03 07 48 01CMP Another 5 minutes, Neil babe.
03 07 48 05CDR Okay.

DAY 4  –  Page 81
03 07 48 20LMP This pitch angle is quite a bit off nominal; 196 instead of 212.
03 07 48 24CMP Umm.
03 07 48 26LMP 16 degrees.
03 07 48 28CMP Yes, Shaffer screwed up  –  got to get his eccentric orbit.
03 07 49 21CMP We is there.
03 07 49 27CDR Okay, I think I got Denebola in sight; let me look at the  –  Sure enough, I do. And it's good enough in the telescope; let me check it through the sextant. It's even in the sextant.
03 07 49 41CMP Beautiful! Fantastic!
03 07 49 44LMP Let's burn.
03 07 49 45CDR That's MANUAL and ZERO  –  ZERO and MANUAL.
03 07 49 51CMP We done paid our debt to society; we done made a star check. 79:50  – 
03 07 49 58CDR It used to be that you couldn't get control on LOI 2; that any burn, any attitude you made was safer than the regular attitude, but that isn't true any more.
03 07 50 07LMP Yes.
03 07 50 09CMP Okay, we got the OPTICS, ZERO?
03 07 50 14LMP Yes, I'm sure it is.
03 07 50 16CMP And we're not going to do any VERB 41, NOUN 91, any of that stuff  –   – 
03 07 50 20LMP No ...
03 07 50 21CMP  –   –  so you can  –  enter on this one.
03 07 50 26CDR Okay. OPTICS, ZERO, ZERO, huh?
03 07 50 29CMP No!

DAY 4  –  Page 82
03 07 50 31CDR Supposed to be 0.7.
03 07 50 32CMP Oh.
03 07 50 33CDR Okay?
03 07 50 35CMP VERB 37, ENTER; 40, ENTER.
03 07 50 46CMP How does that look?
03 07 50 48CDR Looks beautiful. You enter on it, huh?
03 07 50 51CMP No. Leave it there.
03 07 50 52CDR Alright.
03 07 50 56CMP Align spacecraft roll, GDC ALIGN.
03 07 51 06CDR Yes, here we go  –  ... doesn't look bad.
03 07 51 10CMP No, I just got through aligning it a little while ago.
03 07 51 42CMP Okay, GDC's aligned.
03 07 51 46CDR Okay.
03 07 51 48LMP Check the circuit breakers.
03 07 51 50CMP Alright. I got  –   – 
03 07 51 54LMP SCS circuit breakers.
03 07 51 56CMP SCS; they're all in.

03 07 52 11LMP MAN ATT, three, to RATE COMMAND.
03 07 52 14CMP Okay, MANUAL ATTITUDE, three, RATE COMMAND. And  –  sunrise.
03 07 52 23LMP Sunrise's going to be 52:10  –  and I missed ...
03 07 52 31LMP MAN ATT, three, to RATE COMMAND, you got that?
03 07 52 33CMP Three, RATE COMMAND.

03 08 15 14CDR Oh, I suspect you're right; we probably never will.
03 08 15 17LMP No. We should have wrapped that thing up during ...
03 08 15 24CDR Check the increase that time?
03 08 15 26LMP Huh?
03 08 15 27CDR Did you check the increase that time?
03 08 15 29LMP If it increased, it's going to stay increased from now on.
03 08 15 33CDR Okay.
03 08 15 34LMP But I waited for it to start an upward trend on the first burn.
03 08 15 37CDR Understand; that's alright.
03 08 15 41CMP Alright  –  back to the flight plan.
03 08 15 45CDR ... 33, as I remember it  –  the right number  –   – 

DAY 4  –  Page 95
03 08 15 52LMP ...
03 08 15 56CMP Yes, roll 180, pitch down 81, ORB rate. God damn, here comes the draft again.

03 08 16 22CDR Let's see what we have; SPS monitor check  –   – 
03 08 16 30CMP Two breakers out there; two breakers out there  –  BAT B, BAT B. BAT A, you say  –  Neil?
03 08 16 42CDR BAT A, yes  –  if you please. Charging BAT A, then on to  –   – 
03 08 16 48LMP Then roll 180, and then we'll talk about this pitchdown, alright?
03 08 16 52CDR Then you might as well go to your  –  293 INERTIAL, I guess.
03 08 17 05CMP Man, that's a gas waster. Soon as I get around here, I'll start it. We'll pass through ORB rate at some point. Takes forever and a day to get around here.
03 08 17 31LMP It's going to be a long time before that battery gets back up to 39-½ volts.
03 08 17 45LMP We done plumb tuckered that one out.
03 08 17 49CDR LOI 1 could've got to it, I imagine.
03 08 17 52CMP Yes.
03 08 18 14LMP Are you going to maintain ORB rate?
03 08 18 17CMP Yes, I guess so. It's going to be sort of a passthrough ORB rate kind of thing because, see if I whip  –  do it in a hurry, why I got to pitch down 80 degrees, stop the pitch, or stop almost all of it, except for the ORB rate amount. That's going to waste a hell of a lot of gas.
03 08 18 32LMP Do we have to do anything  –  to the O2 to pressurize the LM?

DAY 4  –  Page 96
03 08 18 39CDR No, we haven't  –  small enough  –  DELTA-P  –

03 08 18 49LMP Yes.
03 08 18 50CMP Yes, we have to build up pressure a little bit.
03 08 18 55CDR Build up that cabin pressure just a little bit, and I'll start the DIRECT O2 valve, OPEN.
03 08 18 57LMP It says observe the lunar surface.
03 08 19 02CMP That's what it says you ought to supposed to be doing.
03 08 19 14LMP It's brown; it's brown.
03 08 19 17CMP Brown all around. There's no doubt which way that  –  little crater hit.
03 08 19 42LMP Here's that same one going by again, Neil, remember? That bright Job?
03 08 19 51CDR Yes.
03 08 20 03LMP Man, there's white stuff all over  –  and it's black right around the rim.
03 08 20 10CMP Hey, well, I'm  –  while this thing's rolling over, I'm going to take a pee; I'm going to go pee.
03 08 20 16CDR 180, if you don't mind.
03 08 20 18LMP That's a spectacular crater.
03 08 20 23CDR Did you shoot some pictures while you were over there?
03 08 20 25CMP No, it's just going by  –  we'd better get it later; there will be better times. If the damn antenna isn't in the way  – 
03 08 20 42CMP Boy, there must be nothing more desolate than to be inside some of these small craters, these conical ones.

DAY 4  –  Page 97
03 08 20 50CDR People that live in there probably never get out.
03 08 20 54CMP Yes, I think you're right. Boy, you can really see the slumping, though. Most of the  –  You can see where it's all gathered down in the bottom in the corner; you know, on the edge  –  where a lot of the white stuff has dribbled on down  –  and evidently it gets covered over after a while with a  –  a darker layer. There's always a certain amount of the white stuff right in the edges. Pretty characteristic of all of these  –  white conical ones.
03 08 21 50CMP Yes, you know, you can change the color of what you're looking at by moving your head to a different spot in the window  –  and looking in a different direction.
03 08 22 25LMP And that must be big ... right down there.
03 08 22 45CMP I haven't heard any woo-woo's.
03 08 22 49CDR Is there something we should be woo-wooing about?
03 08 22 56CMP Wait until we get the VHF on, then we'll hear the woo-wooing.
03 08 22 59CDR Okay.
03 08 23 18LMP Man, I sure hate to say it based on looking through this monocular, but there's a white spot that's just like a crater  –  looks like an awful lot under these small fresh ones in the bottom of this rather old crater, but right in the center of it, it looks like instead of there being a crater, looks like it's a rock. ... My eyes deceiving me.
03 08 23 51CMP How's our roll doing, Neil?
03 08 23 53CDR Oh, you got about 30 degrees to go.
03 08 23 55CMP Oh, boy!
03 08 23 56CDR Okay.
03 08 23 58LMP How far you going to roll?

DAY 4  –  Page 98
03 08 24 00CMP Over and over.
03 08 24 30CDR Got that DIRECT O2 ..., didn't you?
03 08 24 33CMP Yes, just a tiny bit.
03 08 24 34CDR Okay.
03 08 24 42CMP It'd be kind of interesting to see some of this dump go on straight from polar orbit. Wonder how long it's going to take before it impacts?
03 08 24 53CDR It obviously  –  is not really in polar orbit if it's going off  –  going off that way. Yes, it's inclined to the small angle.
03 08 25 03CMP Sure looks like it.
03 08 25 04CDR It's going straight out there through. That's real funny.
03 08 25 13LMP Son of a gun, that one's got a little  –  little curve on it.
03 08 25 23CMP Would you believe that, Neil? One went out and curved around like that. Can you explain that?
03 08 25 32CDR I guess it just glanced off another particle or something.
03 08 25 35CMP Oh, no, no, no, no; if it's curved.
03 08 25 40CDR It had a little bubble in it that came to the surface and went kapoom and  –   – 
03 08 25 43LMP No  –   – 
03 08 25 44CMP There's atmospheric drag up here.
03 08 25 47CDR  –   –  departed it with a little DELTA-V.
03 08 25 49LMP I think what's really happening is  –  we're rolling and  –  it's changing the angle that I'm looking out the window.
03 08 25 55CMP Let's see, I want to pitch down 80 degrees to  –   –  ... 293, down 293, I believe that, I wonder what rate would be reasonable  – 

DAY 4  –  Page 99
03 08 26 10CDR Okay, it's about 7 minutes until AOS.
03 08 26 17CMP Down 80 degrees in 7 minutes, that's  –  let's see, about 10 degrees per minute, 10 degrees per minute is  – 
03 08 26 31CDR ... floating up here  – 
03 08 26 33CMP 61 ...
03 08 26 38LMP Well, Mike probably let him out.
03 08 26 45CMP Okay, that ought to almost get it there and, damn, I don't want to see any more than that.
03 08 26 58LMP You can open the battery ... pad.
03 08 27 11CMP That ought to be enough.
03 08 27 31LMP ...
03 08 28 02CMP Alright, where are we? We're pitching down. Gee, it's too bad we can't stop right here and observe the earth come up. You know, we ought to get that picture one time.
03 08 28 20CDR We probably can do it. You could stop it right here if you wanted to spend the gas.
03 08 28 25CMP Yes. That's the only trouble, the doggone gas. What are you on?
03 08 28 42CMP A picture looking out over the LM as well.
03 08 28 45CDR Yes.
03 08 28 46LMP Shouldn't be a bad picture. Why don't we stop it?
03 08 28 48CMP Okay.
03 08 28 56CDR We ought to be able to get high gain from this attitude, shouldn't we?
03 08 29 10CDR Think we ought to get the long lens on, Mike?
03 08 29 12CMP Yes, we ought to get the 250  –  we ought to do it at 250.

DAY 4  –  Page 100
03 08 29 14CDR You've got 4 minutes; that's plenty, Now, we're going to want to  –   – 
03 08 29 22CMP Are we at a good enough attitude? I hope so. We are out this window, babe, but we're not out that one. If the earth is right there, that's where it's coming up, huh? Better be.
03 08 29 34CDR You want color?
03 08 29 35CMP Ah  –   – 
03 08 29 37CDR We better have color.
03 08 29 38CMP Yes, we want color.
03 08 29 49LMP I got a clean window over here so don't sweat that one too much.
03 08 29 53CMP 250  –  hand me your camera, Neil, and I'll change it.
03 08 29 59CDR Who's got the Hasselblad?
03 08 30 07LMP Probably over there on the shelf.
03 08 30 09CDR We got it. First quad is in  –  back is  –   – 
03 08 30 14LMP That wall of that crater looks pasty through the sextant. Great big chunks of white stuff that just slumped down.
03 08 30 29CDR Did you get  –  ...? If you get too far over here, we may have to watch our pitch angle. We're good right now.
03 08 30 40LMP ...
03 08 30 41CDR ORB rate  – 
03 08 30 45CMP No, we're not ORB rate.
03 08 30 48CDR The earth's going to be coming ORB rate at us.
03 08 30 53CMP ...
03 08 31 01CDR Okay. Let's see, I've got to pitch up a tad then ...

DAY 4  –  Page 101
03 08 31 06CMP Okay, I've still got f:8 and ...
03 08 31 10CDR 250th at f:8, I think we can do it, and infinity.
03 08 31 16CMP I don't know; what's the matter with where you had it?
03 08 31 19CDR Oh, son of a gun! (Laughter) We're going backwards. Oh, well.
03 08 31 28LMP Oh dear. Dumbkopf!
03 08 31 32CMP That's it, I think, there, Neil  –  so pitch down.
03 08 31 36LMP Prior planning prevents poor performance.
03 08 31 38CDR Thank you. Is that right, Buzz?
03 08 31 40CMP All that  –  Where'd you ever hear that one, Buzz?
03 08 31 45LMP I can't think.
03 08 32 12LMP Oh, that's a bright one; I got to get that one ...
03 08 32 16CMP No lie!
03 08 32 25CDR 150  –  you don't want to take too many on this.
03 08 32 30CMP No. Might as well put the other one back on.
03 08 32 35CDR Well, you might save that for some earth shots.
03 08 32 49LMP Wow!
03 08 32 53CDR ...
03 08 32 55CMP You got it, huh?
03 08 33 04LMP I think it focused the second one a little bit better. I think it's beautiful. Just fabulous. Not really sure what you're looking at  –  but there's some mighty big fresh rocks down in that crater.
03 08 33 37LMP The walls actually look pockmarked. Sure enough, and they're not filled in. Pockmarked and it looks like somebody's painted white paint vertically down the edges and then it's been eaten away.

DAY 4  –  Page 102
03 08 34 15LMP ... that one ... into the LM.
03 08 34 38CMP Here is the earth. Hey, I got the view over here.
03 08 34 44LMP I guess I'd better get the high gain off, hadn't I?
03 08 34 49CDR Did it just come up?
03 08 34 50CMP Yes.
03 08 34 53LMP We need that ...
03 08 34 56CMP Do we still got high gain?
03 08 34 58CDR Yes.
03 08 35 01CMP It's says minus 67 and zero.
03 08 35 06LMP Minus 67 and zero.
03 08 35 09CMP And zero.
03 08 35 10LMP Okay, MANUAL  –  and  –  AUTO  –  medium. There we go. Can't make up his mind between zero and  –  360. Okay, we got them.
03 08 35 30CDR Okay.
03 08 35 31CC Apollo 11, Houston. ...
03 08 35 35CDR Do you want to talk to them?
03 08 35 39CDR ... Roger, Houston. Burn status report follows: DELTA-TIG zero; burn time, 17; angle through the pad values, DELTA-VGX was plus 0.3; VGY, minus 0.0; VGZ minus 0.1; DELTA-VC, minus 5.2; fuel, 362; OX, 364; unbalance, plus 50, and a postburn NOUN 94,/ 66.1 by  –   – 
03 09 40 25LMP Well, they look like they were made to go  –  That's  –  that's it, isn't it? Weren't they made to put here so you stow them by putting them on here instead of the way we do it?
03 09 40 40CDR ...

DAY 4  –  Page 103
03 09 40 50CMP Then we only have to decide what  –  what's supposed to go here.
03 09 40 55LMP I ... two of them.
03 09 41 01CMP Both of those  –  those things are in here.
03 09 41 05CDR ... worry about nothing goes in there ...
03 09 41 22CC Hello, Apollo 11, Houston. We've played back the LOI 2 burn. It looks really good to us. The systems were all good. We got an orbit on the limited amount of tracking at 65.4 by a 53.9. Over.
03 09 41 39CDR Sounds good, Houston.
03 09 41 41LMP I need that film now.
03 09 41 44CDR Okay.
03 09 41 46LMP ...
03 09 41 58CDR Okay, want to get film. It's a long trip to the film container.
03 09 42 32CMP You want something?
03 09 42 33CDR Oh, shoot. I'm going to have trouble getting in there.
03 09 43 39CMP How's it going, Neil? You getting any?
03 09 43 41CDR ...
03 09 43 59CDR Well  –  Buzz, the 70-millimeter container's only got one black and white and one color in it  –  Isn't it supposed to  –   – 
03 09 44 16CMP That's  –  that's not  –  that's mine.
03 09 44 19LMP You've got the wrong one.
03 09 44 20CMP No, that's not the right one.
03 09 44 23CDR The one  –   – 
03 09 44 24CMP The one you want, Neil, is way over here in  –  R-13.

DAY 4  –  Page 104
03 09 44 32LMP No, it's not in there; it was on my girth shelf.
03 09 44 34CMP Okay.
03 09 44 35CDR Oh, okay, there it is. Did you get that one put back?
03 09 44 39CMP No, but I will.
03 09 44 41CDR Okay, appreciate it. I had it in my mind that  –  our  –   – 
03 09 44 47CMP You want to do something to the polarizing filter, Neil?
03 09 44 59CDR Uh  –   – 
03 09 45 00CMP I'll stick it up there on the ceiling. There's a  –   – 
03 09 45 02CDR  –   –  not really.
03 09 45 03CMP  –   –  we got room for it up there.
03 09 45 29CMP You want the 16-millimeter while you're down here, Neil?
03 09 45 31CDR Yes.
03 09 45 32CMP The 16-millimeter bag as well?
03 09 45 33CDR Yes, I'll take that one, too.
03 09 45 36LMP Okay.
03 09 45 59CMP Well, that  –  damn stuff won't stick. Haven't got a piece of Velcro on there yet.
03 09 46 10CDR You're not ...
03 09 47 34CMP Man, can't you stop some of that racket up there?
03 09 47 38LMP Huh?
03 09 47 52CMP That's the S-BAND  –  you turn your volumes down.
03 09 48 06SC (Coughing)

DAY 4  –  Page 105
03 09 48 17CMP Is that better on the S-BAND?
03 09 48 19CDR Yes.
03 09 48 20LMP Yes.
03 09 48 21CMP Okay.
03 09 48 50SC (Sneeze)
03 09 48 51LMP There's one that's got mission rules in it  –  but I can't place  –  at the moment, put my hands on it. ...
03 09 50 10LMP It's a NO-GO  –  GO/NO-GO  –  the one one I'm looking for. Hey, that's beautiful.
03 09 50 28CDR Like this?
03 09 50 31LMP Yes.
03 09 50 33CDR That's the one we made the changes in, right?
03 09 50 37LMP Right.
03 09 50 40CDR It may be up in the  –  in the command module, huh? Have you got another clip?
03 09 50 49LMP For the window?
03 09 50 51CDR I thought we might just stick my  –  activation checklist right  –  right there, and we'll be all ready coming in.
03 09 50 56LMP Right here?
03 09 50 57CDR Yes. ...
03 09 51 02LMP We may be ending up with one more than we're authorized  –  one, two, three, four, five. Yes, one of these will be changed over to  –  As a matter of fact, I stole one from Mike  –  but one of them we'll change over to the  –   – 
03 09 51 18CDR I'll go check around up here.
03 09 51 20LMP Oh, wait a minute, here it is. I got it.

DAY 4  –  Page 106
03 09 51 24CDR I don't think the  –   – 
03 09 51 25LMP This other one got changed.
03 09 51 28CDR No, it didn't.
03 09 51 31LMP You want to do that?
03 09 51 32CDR Yes, I can do that.
03 09 51 50LMP And in the meantime  –  Let's see, where'd the film go?
03 09 52 19LMP Now, the thing that would be nice to find out is if  –  how well  –  go  –  the 80-millimeter  –  with the film pack on it  –  in color.
03 09 53 20LMP You do put these in with this dark slide in, don't you? Is that right?
03 09 53 24CDR Which one you got? 60? 60 you do, and the 80 you  –  ...
03 09 53 40LMP ...
03 09 53 42CDR Yes, dark slide in.
03 09 53 55CDR It'll lock it the other way. That  –  that side  –  it'll pull it closed.
03 09 53 59LMP Alright. ... for telling me.
03 09 54 10LMP Boy, that thing goes all over, doesn't it? Maybe we ought to  –  do these the other way around.
03 09 55 33LMP Neil, we got two magazines, two color, A ...  –  one of them is R and the other is S.
03 09 55 42CDR Yes.
03 09 55 43LMP I'm going to put the R in the reserve camera.
03 09 55 46CDR Okay.
03 09 55 47LMP And the S in the surface camera.
03 09 55 48CDR Good idea.

DAY 4  –  Page 107
03 09 55 49LMP Even though we're going to use them the other way.
03 09 56 33CDR Do you want to try it out in there?
03 09 56 36LMP I guess we could open the window here, just as well.
03 09 56 59LMP The window's all  –  frosted over.
03 09 57 04CDR Is it?
03 09 57 06LMP Well, I hate to stick my finger on it; I'm not sure which side it's on.
03 09 57 09CDR We'll have to  –  have to turn the heaters on tomorrow.
03 09 57 16LMP No, I think when the sun gets on them, it'll  –  ... them. Yes, the one on your side is ...
03 09 58 08CDR The black and white is magazine 2.
03 10 02 05LMP I don't guess there's any need to tape that up now.
03 10 02 18LMP We're on the back side now, right?
03 10 02 20CDR Yes, just come into  –  we're just coming into sunlight.
03 10 02 22LMP And we don't get the  –  contrast ...
03 10 02 31CDR What's the mission time, Mike?
03 10 02 35CMP Just a second. About 82 hours even.
03 10 02 39CDR/CMP ...
03 10 02 40CMP 82:02.
03 10 02 42LMP Okay, when do you get your tracking?
03 10 02 44CMP In a little while.
03 10 02 47LMP About what time?
03 10 02 52CMP About another half hour.
03 10 02 56LMP Before 83 hours?

DAY 4  –  Page 108
03 10 03 06CDR Wasn't like this yesterday  –  must be because the sun was on it.
03 10 03 24LMP Boy, look at that big mother coming up there. Looks like we're heading for  –  ... over the horizon.
03 10 04 22LMP I don't think there's any place except in the  –  in here, that it says anything about 16-millimeter footage  – 
03 10 04 33CDR In the card, right?
03 10 04 35LMP No, I'm thinking about for the descent. Here we are; 16 millimeter, HC-EX, f:4, 500, infinity, 6 frames per second. Okay.
03 10 05 14CDR You got the flight plan handy, Mike?
03 10 05 16CMP Yes, I have; just a second.
03 10 05 19CDR I don't want it up here; I just want you to  –  when you get a chance, to read off the items that are on there, make sure we got them.
03 10 05 26CMP It says perform housekeeping chores, stow helmets, stowage bags; unstow mirror, checklist, and disposal assembly. Stow interim stowage assembly, unstow and configure for use 16 millimeter, HC-EX, f:4, 500, infinity, 6 frames per second. That's all it says  –  on that page. That's where we are now. The next thing is an hour from now when we transfer to LM power and activate the COMM.
03 10 06 04LMP 12 feet per second  –  half an hour.
03 10 06 15CMP Did you say something about taking pictures right now?
03 10 06 18CDR No, no; stop the camera.
03 10 06 21CMP Yes, I know, I don't think it'd take a very good picture right now.
03 10 06 29LMP One thing, when you get way up here, you can  –  see a lot more of that secondary strut.
03 10 06 39CMP No, that thing  –  that's holding up those damn baffles.

DAY 4  –  Page 109
03 10 06 51LMP Well, if we could get a towel, we could get us a couple of fair-to-middling pictures out of here.
03 10 06 59CDR Alright. You want one?
03 10 07 01LMP Yes. Maybe  –  Some of it will come off, anyway.
03 10 09 05LMP Hand me a towel when you get a chance.
03 10 09 14CDR ... left window ...
03 10 09 49CDR This one's getting pretty well cleared off over here on the left.
03 10 10 03LMP You want the COAS in the forward window for undocking, huh? And you don't want the filter attached? I stuck it up here.
03 10 11 03LMP All that'll do is warm it up.
03 10 11 42LMP When do we have AOS?
03 10 11 50CDR Well, we  –  we should have AOS in  –  oh  –  16  –  18  –  in about another 20 minutes.
03 10 12 44LMP Alright, then, I think  –  the way we're sitting, why, we're going to be able to get a picture  –  of the earth coming right up there. What do you think about that?
03 10 14 07CMP Unique feature  –  photography (laughter). ... on the top of it.
03 10 14 34LMP What have you been using, 5.6 at 1/250th?
03 10 14 52CMP Yes. ...
03 10 15 10LMP What do you know, it works!
03 10 15 18CDR I could sure get the stop watch, huh?
03 10 15 22LMP Yes, you have the exact time to AOS  –  because I don't have my watch  –  set up for that.
03 10 15 29CDR ...
03 10 15 30LMP ...

DAY 4  –  Page 110
03 10 15 32CMP I'm just fooling around; what do you need  –  AOS time? AOS is going to be  –  well, let's see  –  82:30  –  about 15 minutes from now.
03 10 15 50LMP Okay. I'll get another good picture of what comes along. Well, hell, I guess we might as well load the other camera and make sure it works, too, huh?
03 10 16 00CDR Adjust the  –  chronometer and put the cables in it, huh?
03 10 16 05LMP Yes.
03 10 16 06CMP Well, look, if we load this one  –  if I put the film on this one, and take a picture or two, well, I'll have to take it back off again; that's the only trouble. I won't have to, but it doesn't stow as neatly. If you don't mind doing  –  powered descent with the camera in there, I think that's probably alright. Well, wait a minute, I bet I could put this one loaded where the other one goes  – 
03 10 16 47CDR Where have you hid the shaving cream, Mike?
03 10 18 12CDR No wonder  –  ...
03 10 18 20CMP Uh, ...
03 10 18 25CDR ... that's the reason  –   – 
03 10 18 26CMP No, I don't think you know; I don't think you know; I don't see how you know.
03 10 18 30LMP Hey, Neil, you see any need for keeping this thing?
03 10 18 33CDR What's that?
03 10 18 34LMP In the LM, this cover for the camera. Think about that for a while  –  I got it loaded, and I don't see any need to ever change it. If it works now  –  I guess if it quits before we actually went EVA, why there might be some reason to. 5.6 at 250th, huh?
03 10 20 01LMP Now, a few pictures of that and one of earthrise and  –  and then we'll stow it.

DAY 4  –  Page 111
03 10 21 45LMP Well, I can't do anything until we transfer to LM power.
03 10 22 10CDR Do you know where the shaving cream is?
03 10 22 13CMP Shaving cream?
03 10 22 17CDR Yes.
03 10 22 18CMP Yes, I sure do; it's  –   – 
03 10 22 19LMP In the penlight.
03 10 22 21CMP  –   –  in the penlight compartment, huh?
03 10 22 53LMP How about this thing; you see any need to  –  to keep that in the LM?
03 10 23 07LMP Neil, what did you do with the  –  ... camera back sight?
03 10 23 12CDR I haven't had it.
03 10 23 13LMP Okay. What do you think about that?
03 10 23 16CDR I can't think of any reason why we might use it.
03 10 23 18LMP Well, there's a COAS  –  dust cover that I think fits in the same category, don't you? The thing that you got to move out to put the COAS in?
03 10 24 05CMP He's shaving.
03 10 24 36CMP I'm through with the flight plan, Neil, if you want it.
03 10 24 41CDR ...
03 10 24 56CDR ... razor?
03 10 24 58CMP The razor should be in there with the shaving cream, isn't it?
03 10 25 01CDR No  –   – 
03 10 25 02CMP It wasn't?
03 10 25 03CDR  –   –  ... shaving cream.

DAY 4  –  Page 112
03 10 25 04CMP The razor wasn't in there?
03 10 25 06CDR The razor's in here, and I think the shaving cream was when I pulled it out, but  –   – 
03 10 25 11LMP How much time to AOS, Mike?
03 10 25 15CMP 82:30  –  about 5 minutes.
03 10 28 42LMP Don't know what I'm doing with VHF B on.
03 10 28 52LMP Hey, Mike?
03 10 28 53CMP Yes.
03 10 28 57LMP You got VHF B available?
03 10 28 59CMP What? Say again?
03 10 29 05LMP I don't know. According to this lousy thing, I'm powering up VHF B  –  T/R.
03 10 29 11CMP Not right now, not for another half hour or so.
03 10 29 13LMP No, I know, but  –  Are you going to have your VHF on?
03 10 29 21CMP If I'm going to record your data, I am.
03 10 29 30LMP Well, it doesn't say doodly squat about recording data.
03 10 30 30LMP ... coming up now.
03 10 31 54CDR Did you get them?
03 10 31 56LMP No, sure didn't.
03 10 32 05CDR Yes.
03 10 32 07LMP But I can't see ...  –  I see the earth, but it's a lousy picture.
03 10 32 27CMP Could you wait just 1? I'm right in the middle of the event-timer setting.
03 10 32 41CMP Okay, Houston. We'll be doing P22 in just a couple of minutes here.

DAY 4  –  Page 113
03 10 32 46LMP You want to come in, Neil? Going in?
03 10 33 59LMP Want back up?
03 10 34 00CDR No.
03 10 34 01LMP Here's your shaving cream.
03 10 34 03CMP My only problem is I'm going to come over here and grab a switch and arm this hand controller.
03 10 34 07CDR Alright. I'll be out of your way.
03 10 34 08CMP Okeydoke. I'll tell you what you could do, if you're not doing anything else, is  –  supposed to take five marks 30 seconds apart. When I take the first one, you can take a hack and see  –   – 
03 10 34 26CDR Okay.
03 10 34 27CMP  –   –  whether I'm spaced properly or not, you know what I mean?
03 10 34 28CDR Yes.
03 10 34 29CMP Coach me along on when to take mark number 2, mark number 3, 4, 5.
03 10 34 51CMP And could you give me a hack on the MDC mission timer? It's going up to 35 minutes. Ready  – 
03 10 35 00CMP MARK it.
03 10 35 05CDR 35 minutes.
03 10 35 06CMP Okay, that's good. That program alarm is normal; it will reach that when the trunnion gets down below 50 degrees.
03 10 35 21CDR Okay.
03 10 35 23CMP All I'm doing is waiting for  –  the time; everything else is done.
03 10 35 46CDR You holding inertial, Mike?
03 10 35 47CMP Yes.

DAY 4  –  Page 114
03 10 35 50LMP No wonder the earth isn't moving.
03 10 36 06CMP Ho-hum, ho-hum. I only got set up for this thing about an hour early (laughter). Better late than never; better early than late.
03 10 37 04CMP ... should be coming over the horizon here pretty soon.
03 10 37 08LMP What should be?
03 10 37 14CMP Old A-1. Old A-1.
03 10 37 20CMP Now, we'll see if you can find something that looks like A-1.
03 10 37 23LMP I got the earth down by the strut.
03 10 37 56LMP The problem with this window is, Neil, I think it's too cold in here.
03 10 37 59CMP Neil, I'm going to get up here and get pitch  –  MANUAL ATTITUDE PITCH to ACCEL COMMAND. Those hand controllers are armed, so beware.
03 10 38 02CDR Okay.
03 10 41 25CMP If I'd known you were going to be here, I'd of incorporated you into the procedures.
03 10 41 30CDR Keep looking through the periscope, then.
03 10 41 32CMP What I need is  –  0.3 to 0.5 on this thing, closer to 3. I'd get it, but you  –   – 
03 10 41 40CDR I'll watch.
03 10 41 41CMP  –   –  just as a doublecheck  –   – 
03 10 41 42CDR I'll watch.
03 10 42 11CMP The preflight  –  ...
03 10 42 55CDR That ... is working.
03 10 42 56CMP Okay, fine.
03 10 43 31CMP Okay, MARK it  – 

DAY 4  –  Page 115
03 10 43 32CMP Number 1. They're 30-second marks.
03 10 43 35CDR Check.
03 10 43 47CDR 15.
03 10 43 50CMP How many?
03 10 43 51CDR 15  –  20  –  25  –  30  – 
03 10 44 02CMP MARK it  – 
03 10 44 03CMP Number 2.
03 10 44 04CDR Okay.
03 10 44 05CMP I have a feeling somehow I got to do these ...
03 10 44 16CDR 15  – 
03 10 44 17CMP Okay.
03 10 44 26CDR 25  – 
03 10 44 31CMP MARK it  – 
03 10 44 32CMP Number 3.
03 10 44 33CDR Okay.
03 10 44 46CDR 15  –  20  –  25  – 
03 10 45 00CMP MARK it  – 
03 10 45 01CMP Number 4.
03 10 45 02CDR Okay.
03 10 45 16CDR 15  –  20  –  25  – 
03 10 45 29CMP MARK it  – 
03 10 45 30CMP Number 5.
03 10 45 32CDR Okay.
03 10 45 33CMP ...

DAY 4  –  Page 116
03 10 45 43CMP ...
03 10 45 50CDR Check.
03 10 45 51CMP Checklist says  –  You're going to go blind doing this  –  ... 06 71  –  confirm 7000; 06 89 confirm ... 320 7000 ...  – 
03 10 46 08CDR Just leave it; keep pitching?
03 10 46 10CMP Yes. But I don't know why we're getting that thrust rate there, maybe the ... getting unhappy  –   – 
03 10 46 16CDR ... look at that roll and stuff ... that yaw ...
03 10 46 21CMP Yes. It's just like the simulator, remember that?
03 10 46 24CDR Yes.
03 10 46 26CMP It's ...
03 10 46 27CDR We're yawing pretty good. 0.4, I'd say  –   – 
03 10 46 31CMP We're going to have to check that out.
03 10 46 34CDR  –   –  towards gimbal lock.
03 10 46 35CMP Toward gimbal lock?
03 10 46 37CDR It's only gone 10 degrees towards gimbal lock.
03 10 46 40CMP Well, that's a pretty good error. I don't know why in the hell it does that.
03 10 46 48CMP Would you like to control the ...? I'd say we're going to keep pitching for quite a while.
03 10 46 59CMP Houston, Apollo 11.
03 10 47 05CMP Roger. Are you copying NOUN 129 on your downlink? If you've had enough time, I'll proceed.
03 10 47 35CMP Look, what gimbal angle was that when  –  on the pitch  –  when that activity started, just out of curiosity?
03 10 47 40CDR Oh, must have been around  –  210.

DAY 4  –  Page 117
03 10 47 50CMP Just like the simulator.
03 10 48 00CMP Okay, now, the flight plan says where we want to stop ..., that says so right here  –  pitch 229 is where we want to stop.
03 10 48 07CDR Okay, we've gone by that, however, quite a ways.
03 10 48 10CMP I'm sorry, let's stop, then.
03 10 48 12LMP Is that local vertical?
03 10 48 14CMP No.
03 10 48 21CDR Okay. And after those pictures, ... lunar surface.
03 10 48 26CMP You want to go back to 229 or what?
03 10 48 29CDR Let me see the flight plan just a second. Yes.
03 10 48 41CMP Might as well just  –  just let it stop itself, Neil.
03 10 48 47CDR I've got to  –  look at the  –   – 
03 10 48 50CMP Yes, go ahead.
03 10 48 52CDR  –   –  the ... ... like  –  gangbusters?
03 10 48 57CMP ... 225 is ...
03 10 49 12CMP MARK  – 
03 10 49 13CMP 02009.
03 10 49 23CMP MARK  – 
03 10 49 24CMP 22590. Minus 00177.
03 10 50 00CMP Okay. So much for that.
03 10 50 28LMP A beautiful view out here, Neil.
03 10 50 34CDR ...
03 10 50 51LMP What's the GET?
03 10 50 55CMP It's 82:51.

DAY 4  –  Page 118
03 10 51 35CMP There's Mount Marilyn.
03 10 51 36CDR Yes.
03 10 51 55CMP Okay, we didn't waste any gas by doing what we did, but what we wasted gas by was that goddamn DAP activity; I don't understand that. Just like the simulator.
03 10 52 09CDR Sure enough.
03 10 52 13CMP You got a good view there, Neil?
03 10 52 15CDR Yes, I sure do.
03 10 52 18CMP Houston, Apollo 11.
03 10 52 25CMP All that procedure for P22 seemed to work very well. The only thing that was a little odd is that there was some DAP thruster activity. I had pitch in ACCEL COMMAND, and roll and yaw in RATE COMMAND, and somehow roll and yaw got excited, and DAP went into a flurry of thruster firing. We've noticed the same thing in the CMS and had just written it off as a CMS peculiarity.
03 10 53 02CMP Okay.
03 10 53 34CMP Well, one P22 out of the way. Ho, ho, ho!
03 10 53 40CDR What were the results?
03 10 53 42CMP Well  –   – 
03 10 53 43CDR Or could you tell?
03 10 53 44CMP  –   –  they're sort of inconclusive because I marked  –  see, they gave me  – 
03 10 53 52CMP That's in work, Houston. Hey, how about holding this for just a little bit?
03 10 53 55CDR Yes, let's hold this attitude a little bit; I want to look at the  –   – 
03 10 54 00CMP Boy, that's beautiful out there, isn't it?

DAY 4  –  Page 119
03 10 54 01CDR  –   –  TPI approach. Man, this is really something; you ought to look at this. You want to watch our approach into the landing site; you got to watch right through this window. We're coming over  –  we just passed Mount Marilyn. We're coming up on Maskelyne series here  –  straight out ahead, coming into the landing area.
03 10 54 21CMP Houston, we're holding inertial a little while to study the approach to the landing zone.
03 10 54 39CDR See the monocular  – 
03 10 54 41CMP I don't either, ...
03 10 54 44CDR Is there one?
03 10 54 50LMP Well, a crater  –   – 
03 10 54 51CMP There go Sidewinder and Diamondback. God, if you ever saw checkpoints in your life, those are it.
03 10 54 56CDR But ... we don't get to see them.
03 10 54 58CMP You don't?
03 10 54 59CDR No, we roll over right here at this little  –  well, you see Boot Hill coming up right here?
03 10 55 06CMP Yes, yes, yes.
03 10 55 07CDR And just beyond it that's  –  that crater right on track there, the big one?
03 10 55 11CMP That's Mount Marilyn? Past Boot Hill?
03 10 55 13LMP No, Duke Hill.
03 10 55 14CMP Duke Hill?
03 10 55 15LMP No, I'm sorry ... that's  –   – 
03 10 55 17CDR Duke Island, Duke Island.
03 10 55 20CMP Oh God, look at that Moltke; he's my favorite ... Look at that son of a bitch. You see all those roads  –  triangular roads leading right past him?

DAY 4  –  Page 120
03 10 55 29CDR Yes.
03 10 55 30CMP That's US 1, I guess, huh?
03 10 55 31CDR Yes.
03 10 55 33CMP There's crater 130 over there although I can't quite see  –  see 129, but I can't quite see 130.
03 10 56 12CMP Can you see ..., Neil?
03 10 56 20CDR I'm not sure.
03 10 56 25LMP I think I can see it, for sure. Yes, I got it beautiful  –  I can  –  I got the whole landing site here.
03 10 56 35CDR That far?
03 10 56 40LMP The one that's shorter there?
03 10 56 49LMP Houston, this is Apollo LM in the Eagle  –  Apollo 11 in the Eagle, and I got a beautiful view of the whole landing area.
03 10 57 08LMP Roger. I can see the entire landing area from the position I'm in looking out the left window in the LM.
03 10 57 20CMP ...
03 10 57 26LMP That's right.
03 10 58 05LMP Boy, that sure is eerie looking.
03 10 58 06CDR Isn't that something?
03 10 58 08MS ...
03 10 58 10CMP ... enough of a shot down there, but you can't find a single spot on the surface that doesn't look ... 1-degree sun angle, that's  –  that's just a lousy sun angle.
03 10 58 28CDR That's spectacular out there  –  Looks like you're flying right into the side of a mountain, doesn't it?

DAY 4  –  Page 121
03 10 58 32CMP Yes, sure does.
03 10 58 34LMP I missed taking a picture of it, ...
03 10 58 49CMP Well, that was good ... Shall we go to maneuver, I mean to sleep attitude  –  anybody object to doing that?
03 10 58 59CDR That'd be alright.
03 10 59 05LMP Okay, I'm ready for you cats to transfer to LM power. What time GET you got?
03 10 59 13CMP 80  –   – 
03 10 59 15CDR Get the ..., Buzz.
03 10 59 17CMP  –   –  83 hours. You ready to do it?
03 10 59 20LMP ...
03 10 59 22CMP You ready to do it?
03 10 59 23LMP Stand by. Yes, go ahead and do it.
03 10 59 32CMP Okay.
03 10 59 33LMP You got 83 hours right now, huh?
03 10 59 35CMP Yes, 83 hours, and we're on LM power.
03 11 00 26LMP Glycol pump.
03 11 00 28CMP Houston, Apollo 11. How do you read on high gain? Over.
03 11 00 37CMP Okay. You want wide beam, for some reason?
03 11 00 39LMP Will you cut my SUIT POWER and AUDIO, OFF, please?
03 11 00 43CMP Yes.
03 11 00 51LMP Okay, fine.
03 11 00 53CDR Okay, going OFF now.
03 11 00 54CMP We're starting our maneuver to sleep attitude; roll 82, pitch 229, yaw zero.

DAY 4  –  Page 122
03 11 01 11CMP About ready to maneuver?
03 11 01 14LMP Go ahead.
03 11 01 16CMP Okay.
03 11 02 52CDR Yes?
03 11 03 08CDR You're past step 4?
03 11 03 41CDR Houston, 11.
03 11 03 45CDR What's the page?
03 11 03 48CDR Okay. We're on page  –  activation 12, 13, at step 4, verify descent talkbacks  –  gray, and they're barber pole.
03 11 04 20CDR Stand by. We've got it. We've just had  –  one circuit breaker out of position. We have them gray now.
03 11 05 18CMP Watch that.
03 11 05 20CDR Don't we want it dark?
03 11 05 24CMP I thought the lights were going out. Man, that voltage is really falling off.
03 11 05 43LMP Hey, Mike.
03 11 05 44CMP Yes.
03 11 05 45LMP ... VHF ... circuit breaker ...
03 11 05 50CMP I can't hear you, Buzz.
03 11 05 52CDR He says, "Why don't you turn on VHF B, just for kicks."
03 11 05 55CMP Alright, I'll do it. You going to send me some data?
03 11 06 00LMP Yes, I'll get right to it.
03 11 06 02CMP Huh?

DAY 4  –  Page 123
03 11 06 03LMP I'll get right to it.
03 11 06 04CMP Alright.
03 11 06 07LMP Soon as I get some COMM first.
03 11 06 09CMP Yes, because when I  –  because when I record your data, I'm on SIMPLEX A.
03 11 06 17LMP Yes, well, that's when you're talking at the same time.
03 11 06 20CMP Yes, okay. You want me just to turn up B now?
03 11 06 22CDR There's signal strength.
03 11 06 50LMP Hello, Houston, hello, Houston; this is Apollo 11, Eagle. Over.
03 11 07 22CDR A lot of static  –  on the command module S-BAND.
03 11 07 27CMP Well, we  –  we should still have him.
03 11 07 39CDR Houston, Apollo 11. Radio check on S-BAND.
03 11 08 04CDR I'm not getting them on  – 
03 11 08 08CMP Well, we're almost at sleep attitude; just stand by 1, and, as soon as we get there, I'll find out where they are. I'm going to dick with the DAP right now.
03 11 09 16CDR I've got nothing but static.
03 11 09 31CMP Houston, Apollo 11. Over.
03 11 09 52LMP Hey, Mike, you transmitting on B?
03 11 10 00CDR Mike, what are you transmitting on up there?
03 11 10 04CMP Say again.
03 11 10 06CDR What are you transmitting on up there?
03 11 10 08CMP I'm transmitting right now on OMNI A, but I'm about to get new high-gain angles; just 1 second. Okay, we're there.

DAY 4  –  Page 124
03 11 10 16CDR How come I  –  he don't hear you on INTERCOM?
03 11 10 21CMP You should hear  –   – 
03 11 10 22LMP Houston, Apollo 11; Apollo 11, Eagle. Over.
03 11 10 33LMP Roger. I read you about 4 by 4. Could you give me a short count, please?
03 11 10 37CDR Gees, I don't hear him.
03 11 10 43CDR We don't read them, Buzz.
03 11 10 46CMP He's  –  he's on LM S-BAND, Neil, apparently.
03 11 10 49CDR Oh.
03 11 10 50CMP Yes.
03 11 10 53LMP Roger. Are you copying my LOW BIT RATE? Over.
03 11 11 07LMP Roger. I'm all ready to switch to HIGH BIT RATE, if that's okay with you.
03 11 11 21LMP Standing by.
03 11 11 31LMP Houston, Eagle. Go ahead with the camera checkout. I'm still on low taps, and I assume there's no problem doing that. Over.
03 11 11 53CMP Houston, Columbia. How do you read on the high gain?
03 11 12 01CMP Blap.
03 11 12 07CDR Did you hear him answer?
03 11 12 09CMP No.
03 11 12 10CDR I didn't either. Buzz is reading him, though.
03 11 13 04CMP Houston, Columbia. How do you read on the high gain? Over.
03 11 13 18CMP Hey, how about asking them if they can hear me calling?

DAY 4  –  Page 125
03 11 13 22LMP I don't believe they can hear you, Mike, ... sleep attitude.
03 11 13 26CMP Well, we're in sleep attitude, and I got the high-gain angles, and they should be good angles. And I'm locked on and I got about a half signal strength, and they can't hear me.
03 11 13 40LMP Houston, Eagle. ... high gain ...
03 11 14 11CDR No go.
03 11 14 12CMP What'd he say?
03 11 14 13CDR COMMAND RESET.
03 11 14 14CMP Okay.
03 11 14 36LMP ... try him again.
03 11 14 39CMP Houston, Columbia. Reading you loud and clear.
03 11 43 24CMP Armstrong says it's the hatch and  –  if we leave the probe and drogue there, we'll save us some time tomorrow; I don't know if it's tolerable sleeping or not. I think what previous crews have been doing is reinstalling all that claptrap up in there.
03 11 43 40CDR Yes.
03 11 43 42CMP But  – 
03 11 43 47LMP ...
03 11 43 50CMP What?
03 11 43 51LMP ...
03 11 43 59CMP Yes, forward's okay.
03 11 44 15CDR I don't think that would be too horrible sleeping down there.
03 11 44 28CDR It's for sure it's not going anywhere; this one's bolted down two places  –  and this one is  –   – 
03 11 44 35CMP You can try it. If we could find a place to put our legs back in there, it'll be alright.

DAY 4  –  Page 126
03 11 45 13CMP See  –  it's going to be hard to get into that  –  sampler there.
03 11 45 19CDR No  –  no, that's alright. That's the place for it.
03 11 46 30CDR (Sneeze)
03 11 46 34CMP Okay, lights went out  –  except for all those radioactive ones in there.
03 11 47 12LMP Well, COMM's good. Son of a bitch might work.
03 11 47 21CMP Sure it'll work. Anything in a pretty cockpit like that is bound to work.
03 11 47 38CMP Well, I propose leaving the probe and drogue in here overnight. Save all  –  doing all that claptrap in the morning.
03 11 47 48CDR It's okay with me.
03 11 47 49LMP Fine.
03 11 47 50CMP You through in the LM?
03 11 47 54LMP How's that going to affect  –   – 
03 11 47 57CMP Sleeping!
03 11 47 58LMP  –   –  sleeping?
03 11 47 59CMP I'll be glad to sleep over there, alright? I don't think it'll affect that; I'd rather sleep, I'd rather sleep with the probe and drogue than have to dick with it in the morning.
03 11 48 06LMP Alright, that's fine; I can have it there. I don't know how I'd get out, but  –  (laughter).
03 11 48 13CDR ...
03 11 48 15CMP That's ..., alright.
03 11 48 25LMP Hey, you don't want to bring this one back? You on a weight-saving kick for the command module?
03 11 48 35CDR You want it?

DAY 4  –  Page 127
03 11 48 37LMP Sure, you  –   – 
03 11 48 38CDR There's room for the Hasselblad.
03 11 48 39LMP  –   –  you got stowage space?
03 11 48 42CDR You can have it if you want it.
03 11 48 45LMP You got a place to fix things that rattle around?
03 11 48 50CMP Sure. Like hatches? ... if you'll take time to get out of the hallway.
03 11 49 01LMP Let's get some music.
03 11 49 03CMP Get out of my damn hallway, Aldrin, so I can put my hatch in and then we can all  –   – 
03 11 49 06LMP How about these tapes?
03 11 49 09CMP Okay.
03 11 49 37LMP Okay, 95:50 IVT to the LM. What time is it now?
03 11 49 44CMP 83:53.
03 11 49 50LMP I figure that as being 12 hours. About time for a Lomotil, huh? Well, not quite.
03 11 50 37LMP How about the systems stuff  –  to put the machine to bed.
03 11 51 01CMP You go to REACQ and NARROW?
03 11 51 02CDR Yes.
03 11 51 05CMP So I guess the COMM's pretty well taken care of?
03 11 51 08CDR Yes.
03 11 51 09CMP Have you got the waste water dump?
03 11 51 10CDR No, I haven't done that, but I will.
03 11 51 12CMP Let's see, I imagine we want to go out of VOICE? Or not?
03 11 51 17CDR Very, very  –   – 

DAY 4  –  Page 128
03 11 51 18LMP The whole bit they said.
03 11 51 24CMP Okay.
03 11 51 57CMP Lunar orbit asleep; (cough) S-BAND SQUELCH, ENABLE?
03 11 51 58LMP I did it.
03 11 51 59CMP Got that, huh?
03 11 52 00LMP Yes.
03 11 52 01CMP HIGH GAIN, REACQ, NARROW; antenna pitch angle  –   – 
03 11 52 06LMP Yes, I did that.
03 11 52 07CMP  –   –  that's all it says.
03 11 52 08LMP Okay.
03 11 52 10CMP Plus the normal configuration.
03 11 52 13LMP Doesn't it say anything about DOWN VOICE BACKUP  –  or any of that stuff?
03 11 52 16CMP (Cough)
03 11 52 31CMP No.
03 11 52 33LMP Okay.
03 11 52 37CDR Waste water dump, we'll wait until 84 hours; they may have the vent modeled or some crazy thing like that, so I want to be at the right time.
03 11 52 45LMP Alright.
03 11 52 47CMP Well, let's see, normal lunar configuration. Well, it is DOWN VOICE BACKUP.
03 11 52 52LMP Yes.
03 11 52 54CMP Well, let's get going here. PRIMARY, PRIMARY, HIGH, VOICE, (cough) PCM, RANGE, DOWN VOICE BACKUP, AUX TAPE, OFF; TELEMETRY to DATA; and UP TIM COMMAND to NORMAL; VHF A and B, OFF; RECEIVE only, ...;

DAY 4  –  Page 129
   PCM/ANALOG, RECORD, FORWARD, NORMAL, NORMAL  –  that's okay, LOW  –  PRIMARY, REACQ, and NARROW. Well, COMM's set.
03 11 53 56LMP Good.
03 11 53 57CDR I got to vacuum up some water and dump the waste water tank, and we're about set.
03 11 54 05CMP Hey, I got a fuel cell  –  O2  –   – 
03 11 54 09CDR Hey, our water's about all gone.
03 11 54 10CMP Did they say anything about the O2 purge?
03 11 54 13CDR Must have gone into the LM.
03 11 54 14CMP Yes, I think it did; it went on the windows. They didn't say anything about it, huh?
03 11 54 17LMP No.
03 11 54 18CMP Well, I guess we'll do it then. Anybody get my  –  Well, heck, I guess we're really not through with them yet, are we?
03 11 54 36CDR I updated the LOS time in your  – 
03 11 54 39CMP Yes. I think I'll wait until we get them back again before doing the purge. Okay? Because, I don't know, maybe they want all that stuff done on the back side.
03 11 55 11LMP Well, I propose to give myself a little bit of a  –  a bath, but not to put that damn LCG on tonight. You never did ask them about the  –  about the ..., huh? I sure haven't found them.
03 11 55 40CMP I think we ought to do that.
03 11 56 00CMP Neil, you still got that tissue dispenser, the empty one?
03 11 56 06CMP Thank you.
03 11 56 27LMP What's baseline altitude? ... the altitude  –  descent altitude settings?

DAY 4  –  Page 130
03 11 57 01LMP That's the  –  that's the last meal we eat before descent, huh?
03 11 57 12LMP Sure is.
03 11 57 26CMP Wowee!
03 11 57 27LMP 95  –  that's  –  7  –  got 10 hours. Whew!
03 11 57 44LMP Might whip out that piece of bread in there.
03 11 58 43LMP Through in the tunnel, Mike?
03 11 58 46CMP Through, yes.
03 11 58 47LMP Okay, I want to get the lights out then.
03 11 58 48CMP Okay, ...
03 11 59 29LMP What are your dosimeters reading?
03 11 59 38CMP ... up a little bit.
03 11 59 41CDR Mine says  –  11012.
03 11 59 50CMP I can't read this little fart. Says 10013.
03 12 00 03LMP I think they all started out at even thousands. They had them each different so they could tell which was which.
03 12 01 13LMP Well, I don't know about you, but I think I'll raid the pantry for some bite-size stuff.
03 12 01 24LMP I don't know when we'll get a chance to use it  –  maybe some time  –   – 
03 12 01 26CMP Monoculars?
03 12 01 30LMP  –   –  during the maneuvers.
03 12 01 32CMP Found it, huh?
03 12 01 34CDR We're going to take that into the LM.
03 12 01 36CMP Yes. Sure can.

DAY 4  –  Page 131
03 12 01 55CDR ...
03 12 01 58CMP ...  –  ... novel and earn a million dollars.
03 12 02 19CMP Amazing how quickly you adapt  –  Why, it doesn't seem weird at all to me to look out there and see the moon going by, you know?
03 12 02 25SC (Laughter)
03 12 02 27LMP Oh, that is weird  –  that crazy moon out there again, huh? Funny-looking thing.
03 12 03 12CMP Buzz, this crazy bracket goes right here. It's probably right the hell in your way, isn't it?
03 12 03 17LMP No, no.
03 12 03 18CMP Not in your way?
03 12 03 19LMP No, I can survive with that.
03 12 03 21CMP Alright, let me put it up there; it'll be one less thing to do in the morning. It's in backwards, but I don't think  – 
03 12 03 33CMP Well, if I don't need this thing anymore, I think It'll stow that one away. Systems are yours tomorrow?
03 12 03 44CDR Yes.
03 12 03 45CMP I don't know as we've got much to do; there's a purge.
03 12 03 50CDR Is it 84 hours yet? Yes, it is; I'm going to dump the waste water.
03 12 04 36CMP You dumping?
03 12 04 37CDR Yes.
03 12 04 42LMP (Cough) Boy, it's a dusty vehicle in here. Man! But that view approaching the landing site is just fantastic right out  –  right smack out the window, you know that?

DAY 4  –  Page 132
03 12 04 52CDR Yes.
03 12 04 53LMP Except there's such a big shadow being cast by everything  –   – 
03 12 05 01CMP 1 or 2 degrees, Neil?
03 12 05 02LMP  –   –  that I really couldn't  –   – 
03 12 05 04CDR I think ...  –   – 
03 12 05 05LMP  –   –  I could identify the Cat's Paw and I could identify the pair of craters right at the end, but I couldn't really make out the backward V nor the three little curved ones on one side  –   – 
03 12 05 17CMP I didn't see the backwards either.
03 12 05 18LMP  –   –  but I could see the area where it all was, you know, and  –   – 
03 12 05 19CMP Yes, yes.
03 12 05 21LMP  –   –  it didn't go any farther back than this, and it didn't really go any farther forward than that  –  it really didn't. You know, it was rougher than a cob (laughter).
03 12 05 27CMP Rougher than a cob, but I didn't see ...
03 12 05 31LMP Well, when you compare it with the surrounding areas, why it's  –  it's pretty reasonable.
03 12 07 21CDR You want this somewhere?
03 12 07 23CMP ...
03 12 07 42CDR If you don't mind, I'll put it on this big piece of Velcro over here by the fuel cell.
03 12 07 52CMP Yes, that's a good place for it.
03 12 09 46LMP Anybody for a barf bag?
03 12 11 08LMP Can you think of any use for a slide rule in the LM, Neil?

DAY 4  –  Page 133
03 12 11 19LMP Huh?
03 12 11 27CDR I can't think of any use for two of them.
03 12 11 31LMP Okay.
03 12 15 24LMP That COMM was so good I don't think I'd need those damn things ...
03 12 16 29CMP Anybody say anything about terminating battery current?
03 12 16 33LMP No.
03 12 16 45CMP You remember anything about that, Neil?
03 12 16 48CDR No.
03 12 18 12CMP Somebody's blue towels? Did I dislodge those by mistake or did you have those?
03 12 18 18CDR No, don't believe I had them.
03 12 18 20LMP I had them out, kind of floating around back here.
03 12 18 38LMP Everything I think you could dislodge, they forgot to put Velcro on the damn thing.
03 12 19 31CMP Could you  –  maybe reach back and  –  hand me that wrench right quick?
03 12 19 40CDR Yes, I sure could. Sure could ...
03 12 19 54CMP You want me to swap one?
03 12 20 00CDR No, I think I'll keep one for tonight.
03 12 20 03CMP Okay.
03 12 20 26CDR Thank you.
03 12 20 27CMP You're welcome.
03 12 21 56CMP You like this?
03 12 21 58CDR Not much.

DAY 4  –  Page 134
03 12 22 04CMP ...?
03 12 22 27LMP Want one?
03 12 22 29CDR Yes.
03 12 22 30LMP He's getting a ... of that, huh?
03 12 22 34CMP Well, I just want to make sure I'm through with the roll; I think I am.
03 12 22 42CDR Can't figure out how you tell when one's gone. I think that was it.
03 12 22 50CMP Oh, it stopped!
03 12 23 49LMP It's a bear to get in and out of here.
03 12 23 54CDR Think maybe it'd be easier if you ... them right here.
03 13 12 01CMP I have a bit of fruitcake left over from somewhere; if anybody wants some, here it is. ...
03 13 12 25CMP Let's have a little chewing gum. Anybody like some chewing gum?
03 13 12 39CMP 40  –  and 250.
03 13 12 54SC 43 ...
03 13 17 03CDR  –   –  1000 pounds  –  ...
03 13 17 07CMP That'll bring some more junk back here.
03 13 18 46CDR Couldn't have done better myself.
03 13 39 47CMP It may be raunchy later.
03 13 39 56LMP It may be? There's no doubt about it!
03 13 40 02CDR Oh, I'll take a couple small ones.
03 13 40 05CC Apollo 11, Houston. We have LOS coming up in 2 minutes now, and AOS will be at 86 plus 28 plus 15. Over.

DAY 4  –  Page 135
03 13 40 17CDR We'll see you on the other side.
03 13 40 45LMP Anybody have one?
03 13 40 47CDR I'll have a little one.
03 13 40 48LMP Okay. Here you are.
03 13 41 28CMP Yes.
03 13 41 29CDR Okay.
03 13 41 47CMP I guess what I'm doing I should do with the paper towels.
03 13 42 56CDR Everybody through with the water?
03 13 43 00LMP Yes, go ahead.
03 13 44 08LMP Ever find your box?
03 13 44 11CMP No. Gosh, you remember when they told us about  –  about putting buttons on the seat of these pants?
03 13 44 27CDR No, I don't remember.
03 13 44 33LMP Yes, they were working out  –  this elaborate scheme.
03 13 44 38CMP Yes, ... had a choice between ... and Velcro.
03 13 44 52CDR What's its use? I mean, don't keep me hanging in suspense.
03 13 44 55CMP Well, whatever I tell them, they didn't give me.
03 13 44 57CDR Shouldn't have anything.
03 13 44 59LMP Nothing in it.
03 13 45 01CDR Good grief, man!
03 13 45 02CMP They tell me you got to use Velcro on there. Maybe on the other side.
03 13 45 08CDR Use  – 
03 13 45 12CMP I got a  –  pair of jockey shorts. Now cut  –  cut the lights off  –  lights off.

DAY 4  –  Page 136
03 13 45 28CMP Very good, very good.
03 13 48 14CMP How'd you sleep last night, Buzz, up on top?
03 13 51 59LMP You open up the outer one, and you put the inner one in there and squeeze it and it breaks, then you got to take the ... and insert it and mush it all up  –  to get that stuff evenly distributed through it.
03 13 52 25LMP Why don't you guys sleep underneath tonight? I'll sleep top deck.
03 13 52 34CDR Oh, you're going to sleep downstairs tonight, aren't you?
03 13 52 36LMP Yes, that's right; I remember ...
03 13 52 40CMP Unless you'd rather sleep up top, Buzz; I like  –  you guys ought to get a good night's sleep, going in that damn LM  –  How about  –  which would you prefer? Is that probe and drogue going to be in your way over there?
03 13 52 51LMP No, I don't think so.
03 13 52 54CMP Well, take your druthers, whichever you prefer.
03 13 55 57LMP Anybody ... goes right up here?
03 13 56 01CDR I've just been kind of looking around for it myself.
03 13 57 16CMP ..., Buzz?
03 14 01 11LMP ...
03 14 01 15CDR What?
03 14 01 17LMP I ... you.
03 14 01 18CDR Oh.
03 14 01 19LMP ...?
03 14 01 20CDR Yes, yes.
03 14 01 50LMP Yes, I ...

DAY 4  –  Page 137
03 14 02 08CMP Well, I thought today went pretty well. If tomorrow and the next day are like today, we'll be safe.
03 14 08 12CDR You got a crater coming up, Buzz? Right through here. I don't know if you can see it or not. If not, let me get a picture of it because it's really  –  got big ... on the bottom of it. It don't look good.
03 14 08 29CMP It's out this way.
03 14 08 30CDR Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
03 14 08 31LMP Shoot ... here.
03 14 08 32CMP I'm not sure we should be shooting this  –  what we're shooting at or 1 point set; I guess you're alright  –  in this light stuff, I guess you're alright.
03 14 08 46CDR Okay, thank you.
03 14 08 49LMP Oops! ...
03 14 13 39CMP What time is it, Neil, 88 hours, something like that?
03 14 13 42CDR 86:13.
03 14 15 54CDR Doesn't it look like some of these crater walls had scallops inside like a design in a fan  –  like feathers.
03 14 16 05LMP Seashells.
03 14 16 06CDR Yes.
03 14 16 07LMP Like seashells  –  very pretty, very symmetrical.
03 14 17 37CDR Take along one of those craters.
03 14 17 57CDR I took overlapping pictures of all that ...
03 14 18 03LMP Tomorrow, take  –  we're going to have to carry a lot of film to take as many pictures as they want.

DAY 4  –  Page 138
03 14 18 56CMP I'll tell you what we ought to do, ...
03 14 18 59LMP Oh, okay, let me go do that.
03 14 19 51LMP Anybody know when AOS is?
03 14 20 07CMP When is AOS?
03 14 20 09LMP Yes. When is AOS ...?
03 14 20 18LMP 86:38?
03 14 20 21CMP I think it's ...
03 14 20 24LMP Okay.
03 14 20 37CDR ... along in here.
03 14 20 41LMP Yes.
03 14 24 48CMP Where the hell is the horizon with the world coming over it? I guess it's behind us, huh?
03 14 24 58CDR Up there? We should be getting earthshine  –  earthrise features  –  should be coming up pretty soon.
03 14 25 10CMP Black and white.
03 14 25 12CDR There's a colored one right in there  –  I didn't think we put it there. ...
03 14 25 17CMP Alright.
03 14 25 35CDR There's this one  –  where's  –   – 
03 14 25 39CMP The dark slide I think is right over there in the girth shelf.
03 14 25 42CDR Oh, yes, I got it.
03 14 26 59LMP That's  –  that's the one.
03 14 27 41LMP Are we going to keep the ... lens on?
03 14 27 45CMP ... getting earlier in time. Yes, that's best  –  better.

DAY 4  –  Page 139
03 14 28 14CMP ...
03 14 28 23CDR Got a MASTER ALARM coming on here.
03 14 28 48CMP Your f:8 is 250  –  at infinity?
03 14 28 52LMP Yes.
03 14 28 53CMP Good deal. Keep working, you got a lot of film.
03 14 29 36CMP Well, it's ...
03 14 29 49LMP And I was ...
03 14 29 52CMP Good deal.
03 14 29 54LMP ...
03 14 29 56CMP Glad to hear it.
03 14 29 59CDR Through?
03 14 30 01LMP Yes  –  ...
03 14 30 04CMP It's good ...
03 14 30 06LMP Yes, I guess so. Nothing like filming your ...
03 14 30 22LMP ... this field of view, it's mostly just blues  –  I keep getting mostly black and blue.
03 14 30 36CMP Houston, Apollo 11. Over.
03 14 30 43CMP Okay. We just appeared to get a solid lock for the last  –  oh, about a minute, the TUNE FOR MAX needles have been wandering up and down and the pitch and yaw needles have been wandering around, but it appears to have reacquired by itself solidly now. We're just filling  –  finishing up our fuel cell purge. Hydrogen on number 3 is the last to go off, and it'll be coming off in just a second.
03 14 31 15LMP Huh? Is that right? Really should have looked.
03 14 31 51CDR ... flow?
03 14 31 59CMP RATE to HIGH, Neil.

DAY 4  –  Page 140
03 23 32 37LMP I'll need to holler across to you to get the mission timers on. Do we want to check and get our two mission timers SYNC'd? What's this one read now? 82:50?
03 23 32 51CDR 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56  –   – 
03 23 32 56LMP Okay, this one is 1 second slow down in the LEB.
03 23 33 28LMP Let's see, these things come in the command module don't they, those umbilicals?
03 23 33 34CMP ...
03 23 33 43LMP Well, we don't want them.
03 23 33 50CMP ...
03 23 34 01CDR Anyway, it compares.
03 23 34 04CMP ...
03 23 34 13LMP Well, we couldn't do that without switching  –  well, you can have them in here all the time.
03 23 34 18CMP ... there's no way for me ... probe and drogue ... docking ...
03 23 34 32CDR No, I can't think that that'd be of significance between them  –  because why would you ever care to whether you'd hook them up again, if you came back and docked?
03 23 35 29LMP Here's this LCG check. "Verify ... stick visible in red or green band."
03 23 35 40CDR Yes. Not ... as it should be.
03 23 35 47LMP The red one comes out this far, and the green one's out further than that. The whole thing is only about that long. It's got to be in one or the other or you can't see it.
03 23 36 24CDR Having any luck there, Michael?
03 23 36 27CMP ...

DAY 4  –  Page 141
03 23 36 40LMP You don't need to take  –  you're not taking your scissors over there?
03 23 36 43CDR No.
03 23 36 44CMP I've got ...
03 23 36 49LMP ... pad; I'm going to have to take a leak here.
03 23 38 50LMP Yes, I guess I'd better take that pocket  –  and the purse. Tell you what  –  How about putting those tissues in that box that's got that spare camera in it?
03 23 39 16CDR Okay.
03 23 39 17LMP It'll be right handy on your side over there. Now where did the tissue box go?
03 23 39 39CDR You want to see if the computer agrees with that mission timer?
03 23 39 42LMP I did already.
03 23 39 44CDR Okay.
03 23 41 20LMP Can you hand me that purse and the  –  that bag of mine  –  and the checklist?
03 23 42 06LMP And if you'll take me off of suit power.
03 23 42 10CDR Okay. SUIT POWER is OFF; AUDIO is OFF. Whoops  –  Sorry.
03 23 44 21CMP ...
03 23 44 26CDR Good.
03 23 45 07CDR About ready for a little help? ... that.
03 23 46 00CDR What's that?
03 23 46 04CMP ... I only have one ... left.
03 23 46 13CDR Okay. Oh, let's see, one small  –  blah.

03 23 48 59CMP ...
03 23 49 00CDR Yes.
03 23 49 02CMP ...
03 23 49 43CDR We've got a roll rate in; 0.3-degree roll rate. Now it's taking it out; now it's taking it back out the other way.
03 23 50 34LMP ... Now, let's see.
03 23 50 41CDR I'll keep an eye on ... for you.
03 23 51 04CDR ... on here.
03 23 51 06LMP Okay, I'm going on.
03 23 51 08CDR Okay.
03 23 53 30CDR What's that?
03 23 53 34LMP Did you repress, huh?
03 23 54 24LMP How come you don't ... LM power?
03 23 54 26CMP Okay. Stand by. You're on LM power. What?
03 23 54 38CDR What did he say?
03 23 54 39LMP ...
03 23 54 41CMP Oh, what time is it? It's 95:54.
03 23 55 12CMP Now, switch from RATE, HIGH, to RATE, LOW. But that might make it better and maybe a little bit worse.
03 23 55 21LMP ...
03 23 55 35CMP I guess that's right then, Neil; it rattles across the deadband at a fairly high rate.

DAY 4  –  Page 143
03 23 55 44LMP ...
03 23 55 46CMP Alright.
03 23 56 31LMP ...
03 23 56 34CMP Sure as hell is.
03 23 56 50CMP I can't get that ...
03 23 56 53CDR This one  –  this one? That won't hurt it. ...
03 23 59 09CMP Stand by for some MASTER ALARMS; I'm purging.

04 00 01 03LMP 3, 4, 5.
04 00 01 06CMP Good.
04 00 02 01CMP Okay, stand by for more thruster firing here.
04 00 04 06CDR Is this  –   – 
04 00 04 09CMP No, this one's yours. You going to wear this for  –   – 
04 00 04 11CDR ...
04 00 04 12CMP Okay, I'm going to ... camera out of its way.
04 00 04 33LMP ...
04 00 04 40CMP Okay, I wouldn't be surprised. ... all over this goddam stuff.
04 00 05 00CMP A three-ring circus. I got a fuel cell purge in progress and trying to set up cameras and brackets, watch an AUTO maneuver, and  – 
04 00 05 22CMP Jesus Christ!

DAY 5  –  Page 145
04 00 07 58CMP NORMAL, NORMAL.
04 00 09 19CMP Another MASTER ALARM coming.
04 00 10 52CMP Stand by for MASTER ALARM.
04 00 12 54CMP Neil, where's the voice tape recorder, you know?
04 00 12 59CDR Might be in the ...
04 00 13 01CMP Okay. Oh, you son of a bitch, you! Gah!
04 00 13 10CDR ...
04 00 16 17CDR ...?
04 00 16 18CMP Can't get it ...; it's behind the ...
04 00 16 27CDR Yes.
04 00 16 28CMP ... hard time getting anything down here ...
04 00 16 37CDR Okay.
04 00 16 38CMP You got some things up there.
04 00 16 41CMP Neil, all this food and stuff up here, you going to take with you, or drink, or eat?
04 00 17 47CDR No, I'll take ...
04 00 17 54CMP Okay. Chewing gum, you want any of that?
04 00 18 07CDR ... concerned ...
04 00 18 12LMP ...
04 00 18 19CMP Neil, I hate to bother you; could you get my solo book out of R-1 there?
04 00 18 23CDR What?
04 00 18 24CMP My solo book out of R-1.
04 00 18 28CDR Solo book?

DAY 5  –  Page 146
04 00 18 29CMP Yes. Look  –   – 
04 00 18 30CDR R-1?
04 00 18 31CMP Yes, it should be in R-1. Big frapping book, with a bunch of updates on the cover. Thank you, that's it. Appreciate it.
04 00 20 10CMP Neil, do you recall the highest rate you saw during this recent thruster activity? Did you say 0.4 or thereabouts?
04 00 20 19CDR What?
04 00 20 20CMP Do you recall the  –  any kind of body rates that you saw during that thruster activity? Didn't you say something about 0.4? Maybe  –  remember when the SCS was acting up?
04 00 20 30CDR Ah  –   – 
04 00 23 02CMP Houston, Columbia. Over.
04 00 23 08CC  –   –  this is Houston. You can turn on the IMU. Over.
04 00 23 20CMP Houston, this is Columbia. Over.
04 00 23 32CC Columbia, this is Houston. How do you read? Over.
04 00 23 35CMP Houston, Columbia. Reading you loud and clear. How me? Over.
04 00 24 00CMP Hey, Buzz? How about  –   – 
04 01 30 22CC Eagle, Houston. We'd like aft now and forward at AOS. Over.
04 01 30 25LMP Roger.
04 01 31 06CC Apollo 11, Houston. 30 seconds to LOS. Both spacecraft looking good going over the hill. Out.
04 01 34 43CMP Eagle, Columbia.

DAY 5  –  Page 147
04 01 34 46CDR Go ahead.
04 01 34 47CMP Roger. I'm getting ready to preload the probe. I'm going to disable all my roll thrusters. Would you please monitor my roll, your yaw?
04 01 34 54CDR Roger.
04 01 36 41CMP Eagle, Columbia.
04 01 36 43CDR Go ahead.
04 01 36 45CMP I got another "Verify capture latches engaged" on my checklist. I've already preloaded the probe; it's sort of silly, but sort of your option whether you want to verify they're engaged or not.
04 01 36 56LMP Okay, we got the hatch all latched up now, and we're getting ready for pressure-integrity check; so, why don't you go ahead?
04 01 37 04CMP Okay.
04 01 39 57LMP Mike, let us know how you're coming up there now and then.
04 01 40 01CMP I'm doing just fine. I've cocked eight out of the 12 docking latches, and everything is going nominally.
04 01 40 07LMP Okay.
04 01 41 14CMP All 12 docking latches are cocked.
04 01 41 17LMP Okay.
04 01 41 21CMP And I'm ready to button up the hatch.
04 01 46 46LMP Hey, Mike. Have you got the  –  got to the tunnel vent step yet?
04 01 46 52CMP I'm just coming to that. What can I do for you?
04 01 46 55LMP Well, we're waiting on you.

DAY 5  –  Page 148
04 01 46 56CMP Okay.
04 01 46 59LMP We're still ahead of the timeline, so take your time.
04 01 47 03CMP Okay.
04 01 47 14CMP Okay, I'm ready to go to LM tunnel vent.
04 01 48 13LMP You got it all vented now?
04 01 48 17CMP Negative, it's a slow process. I'm on VENT, but  –  it's just going to take a little while here.
04 01 48 22LMP Roger. Just give us a call. We're pressing on with some other stuff.
04 01 48 26CMP Okay.
04 01 51 39CMP How's our attitude holding?
04 01 51 42CDR Looks good.
04 01 51 43CMP Okay, this  –  this thing's supposed to take about 8 minutes; we've got about 3 of them gone, so in about another 5 minutes, I should be able to turn my thrusters back on.
04 02 01 03LMP Moving in.
04 02 01 04CDR How you doing, Mike?
04 02 01 06CMP Doing just fine. The  –  Stand by, I'll give you the DELTA-P reading  –  3.0; I need 3.5 before I can turn my thrusters back on.
04 02 01 16LMP Okay.
04 02 04 59CMP I've got a 3.5 psid now; I'm going to start a maneuver here in a few minutes to depressurize it.
04 02 05 05LMP Okay.
04 02 05 12CMP How you  –  how you guys doing?

DAY 5  –  Page 149
04 02 05 15LMP Okay. We're doing our regulator checks now.
04 02 05 21CMP So I heard.
04 02 07 21CMP I'm starting the maneuver.
04 02 12 08LMP How long you got  –  to end this maneuver, Mike?
04 02 12 12CMP Oh, about another 2 or 3 minutes we should be there  –  no, less than that.
04 02 14 02CMP We're there; we're at the new attitude.
04 02 14 07CDR Okay, we're going to put our gear down.
04 02 14 29LMP ... MASTER ARM  –   – 
04 02 14 34CDR Okay.
04 02 14 35LMP LANDING GEAR DEPLOY, FIRE.
04 02 14 37CDR Here we go, Mike.
04 02 14 46LMP Bam, it's out. Ain't no doubt about that.
04 02 14 50CDR And it's gray.
04 02 14 52LMP Alright. Your ED LOGIC POWER A, CLOSED.
04 02 14 57CDR LOGIC POWER A, CLOSED.
04 02 15 00LMP Alright, fire it again.
04 02 15 03CDR Okay.
04 02 15 05LMP Nothing happened, huh?
04 02 15 06CDR Right.
04 02 15 07LMP Okay, now  –   – 
04 02 15 08CDR I heard it click.
04 02 15 09LMP Yes, so did I.
04 02 15 10CDR That relay, I suppose.

DAY 5  –  Page 150
04 02 15 12LMP MASTER ARM, OFF.
04 02 15 13CDR It's OFF.
04 02 15 14LMP CB(11), ED LANDING GEAR FLAG, OPEN.
04 02 15 23CDR The gear went down okay, Mike.
04 02 15 26CMP Good deal.
04 02 18 40CDR Columbia  – 
04 02 19 13LMP Loud and clear.
04 02 19 45CDR Columbia, do you read Eagle?
04 02 19 47CMP Eagle, do you read Columbia?
04 02 19 51LMP Yes, I'm working on the high gain right now.
04 02 19 54CMP Okay, I'm reading him loud and clear.
04 02 20 14LMP You in the right attitude, Mike?
04 02 20 17CMP That's affirm.
04 02 20 29CMP Houston, Columbia. You're loud and clear.
04 02 21 51LMP Houston, Eagle. Over.
04 02 22 08CMP Buzz, you on the forward OMNI?
04 02 22 10LMP Houston, Eagle. Over.
04 02 22 15CMP Buzz, are you on the forward OMNI?
04 02 22 17LMP Roger. I am.
04 02 22 20CMP Houston, Columbia. Eagle is on the forward OMNI.
04 02 22 39LMP Columbia, go ahead.
04 02 23 13LMP Houston, Eagle. Go ahead.
04 02 23 19LMP Roger. I got you now. I fed in those angles for the S-BAND, and I couldn't get a lockon; it

DAY 5  –  Page 151
   appears as though the antenna would have to be looking through the LM in order to reach the earth. Over.
04 02 24 03LMP Roger. Ready to copy.
04 02 24 32LMP Roger. LM weight, 33627; CSM weight, 36651; pitch trim, 00470; roll trim, 00589. Over.
04 02 25 02LMP Roger. Understand.
04 02 25 12CMP Houston, Columbia. Do you read?
04 02 25 29CMP Roger. S-BAND VOICE to VOICE. How do you read now?
04 02 25 45CMP Houston, Columbia. Over.
04 02 25 53CMP Houston, Columbia in DOWN VOICE BACKUP. Do you read?
04 02 26 04CMP Affirmative. Columbia in DOWN VOICE BACKUP. How do you read me?
04 02 26 20LMP Roger. Eagle's in VOICE mode. How do you read? Over.
04 02 26 34CMP Houston, Columbia's in OMNI C, Charlie, DOWN VOICE BACKUP and, when you get a chance, could you look up the coordinates of 130 for me, please? I have conflicting information between my cue card and my flight plan. I'd like to know which coordinates you want me to use.
04 02 27 04LMP Houston, Eagle. Completed gear extension okay.
04 02 27 54CMP Thank you, Houston.
04 02 29 14CMP Yes, I had the coordinates loaded off the cue card which is  –  for crater 130.
04 02 31 29CMP Roger. Thank you.
04 02 33 11LMP Roger. We're just sitting around waiting for something to do. We need a state vector, a REFSMMAT before we can proceed on with the AGS,

DAY 5  –  Page 152
   and we need you to watch our DAP data load, gimbal drive check, and throttle test. Over.
04 02 33 54LMP Roger. We'll go ahead with the DAP and the throttle check since we don't have a gimbal drive test, okay?
04 02 35 31CMP Houston, Columbia. Those T1 and T2 times are still good, aren't they?
04 02 35 40CMP I say, the T1 and T2 times remain unchanged, affirmative?
04 02 35 53CMP Thank you.
04 02 37 56LMP Houston, Eagle.
04 02 38 03LMP Roger. In accordance with the  –  page 47, step 1, we had the guidance control in PGNS and MODE CONTROL, PGNS, AUTO; and, of course, the circuit breakers are not in on the thrusters yet, so when we started through the DAP and proceeded on NOUN 46  –  and we're looking at NOUN 47 now  –  why, we got an RCS TCA light, and we've got four out of the eight other bright-colored red flags. I think that this is explained by the fact that we are in  –  PGNS and AUTO and just unable to fire the thrusters. Over.
04 02 39 21LMP Roger.
04 02 40 00CDR Houston, Eagle. Are you going to need the high gain before you can look at our GDA position indicators?
04 02 40 35CDR I can go to a high ...
04 02 40 41LMP I can give you HIGH BIT RATE on the OMNI's if that will help you any.
04 02 40 59CDR Roger. Understand.
04 02 41 39CMP Boy, you just can't miss those checkpoints  –  those Diamondback and Sidewinder.
04 02 42 21CMP AUTO optics is pointed just a little bit north of crater 130; pointing north.

DAY 5  –  Page 153
04 02 44 13LMP Houston, Eagle. We're ready to pressurize the RCS. Over.
04 02 44 50LMP Roger.
04 02 44 57LMP That's affirmative; the landing gear is out and gray.
04 02 45 53CMP Houston, Columbia. I've completed my marks. I've gone ACCEL COMMAND in all three axes to prevent that thruster firing that last time.
04 02 46 47CMP Houston, Columbia. As soon as you have the necessary data on the downlink, let me know and I'll proceed.
04 02 46 59CMP Stand by, please.
04 02 47 02CMP I will.
04 02 47 21CMP Roger.
04 02 47 47LMP Roger. Looks good.
04 02 47 59LMP Ready to copy.
04 02 48 33LMP Roger. 224, plus 60267; 225, plus 58148; 226, plus 70312; 227, minus 50031. Over.
04 02 49 16CMP Eagle, Columbia. My P22 is complete. I'm continuing this maneuver to AGS CAL attitude.
04 02 49 26LMP Roger.
04 02 49 45LMP Roger. Columbia, Eagle. Have you about maneuvered there, yet?
04 02 49 52CMP Negative.
04 02 49 59LMP Houston, Eagle. Are those angles for after the maneuver that Columbia is going to make or are they for right now? Over.
04 02 50 14CMP We have about another 120 degrees to go, Buzz.
04 02 51 10LMP Houston, Eagle. I believe I've got you on the high-gain antenna now in HIGH BIT RATE. Over.

DAY 5  –  Page 154
04 02 52 30CMP You've got P00 and DATA.
04 02 52 40LMP Columbia.
04 03 29 11CMP Columbia, out.
04 03 29 16CMP All Columbia systems looking good.
04 03 31 42CMP It's nice and quiet over here, isn't it?
04 03 31 56CMP Eagle, you read Columbia?
04 03 31 58LMP Roger. Loud and clear.
04 03 32 03CMP Okay, everything's going well. Everything's quiet over on this side.
04 03 32 07LMP You bet.
04 03 32 09CMP Okay. I'm standing by to record your data anytime it's convenient for you; angles coming up in another 2 minutes.
04 03 32 31LMP Okay, I'm ready to go to B DATA now.
04 03 32 35CMP Roger and out.
04 03 33 00LMP Columbia, Eagle. How do you read?
04 03 33 04CMP Read you loud and clear, Buzz.
04 03 33 06LMP Very good.
04 03 33 10CMP ...
04 03 34 48LMP Mike, are you in AGS CAL attitude now?
04 03 34 54CMP That's affirm. I'm holding you there with the DAP, getting the deadband. When you get ready to do the AGS CAL, I will sort of quiet down the thruster firing and then hope to stop it altogether, but I don't even think that'll get it.
04 03 35 09LMP Okay. Well, I'm just about ready to do that. Whenever you're ready to let it go free, why just tell me.

DAY 5  –  Page 155
04 03 35 40CMP Okay, it looks real quiet now; I'm ready to go right now.
04 03 36 00CMP Buzz, you copy?
04 03 36 10CMP Buzz, you copy?
04 03 36 13LMP Okay, Mike. Thanks.
04 03 36 17CMP Now, ... might check me on this, I  –  it's  –  I'm ready to go anytime you're ready.
04 03 36 24LMP Roger. We'll be ready to go in just a minute.
04 03 37 46LMP Okay, I'm starting my 5-minute rate  –  right now.
04 03 40 00CMP As a matter of interest, I appear to be drifting in my roll; I'm holding my pitch and yaw pretty constant, and I'm staying a good 15 degrees late in the program.
04 03 40 15LMP Roger.
04 03 40 17CMP Looks like a ...
04 03 40 31CMP Halfway through it, it looks like I have ... degrees in roll is about all.
04 03 40 39LMP Yes, those look like good ones right now.
04 03 41 22LMP Mike, what's your SEP time?
04 03 41 26CMP A few minutes.
04 03 41 49CMP GET of the separation burn is 100:39:50 even.
04 03 42 01CMP I haven't gotten the updates for undocking time; I'm still carrying 100 hours 15 minutes, I guess, ...
04 03 42 23CMP I'm surprised they didn't update it by 3 or 4 minutes to, you know, make that DELTA-V be in the same position that they wanted.
04 03 42 33LMP Yes, I agree.

DAY 5  –  Page 156
04 03 42 38CMP So we're about 3 minutes ahead of the printed flight plan; it might be wise to try to SEP about 3 minutes early, and we can give them a GET of SEP that's precise whenever they want it.
04 03 43 06CMP I have 5 minutes and 15 seconds since we started. Attitude is holding very well.
04 03 43 21LMP Roger, Mike. Just hold it a little bit longer.
04 03 43 25CMP No sweat, I can hold it all day. Take your sweet time. How's the Czar over there? He's so quiet.
04 03 43 45CDR Just hanging on  –  and punching.
04 03 43 49CMP I didn't know ... radio. ... I've ever seen a radio. All I can say is, "Beware the revolution."
04 03 46 21CMP You cats take it easy on the lunar surface; if I hear you huffing and puffing, I'm going to start bitching at you.
04 03 46 28LMP Okay, Mike.
04 03 46 37CDR I just pressurized the DPS. ... looks okay, Mike.
04 03 46 40CMP Roger that.
04 03 49 19LMP Hey, Mike, can you see where our radar's pointing now?
04 03 49 29CMP Well, it looks like it's pointed right at my head; that's hard south; so's your radio beacon.
04 03 49 34LMP Okay. It should really  –  it should be pointing from the  –  you know, our forward axis? It should be pointing up at 40 degrees and, you know  – 
04 03 49 48CMP Okay. We've wandered back over the bellyband now  –  let me assure that AGS CAL.
04 03 49 54LMP ...
04 03 50 19CMP How'd the AGS CAL work out?
04 03 50 23LMP Oh, it danced around a little bit, but seemed to go right back to the original numbers.

DAY 5  –  Page 157
04 03 50 33CMP Okay. I'm going to start a maneuver now to our undocking attitude.
04 03 51 21CMP Now the undock attitude and the SEP attitude ought to be the same, so I'm going to go to what they gave me for the updated separation-burn attitude. That's just about 7 degrees off, but it's in your flight plan for the undock attitude.
04 03 51 38LMP Okay.
04 03 53 12CMP When your rendezvous radar self-test is complete, let me know and I'll check out my transponder.
04 03 53 30LMP Excuse me, Mike, what did you say?
04 03 53 33CMP I say, when your rendezvous radar self-test is complete, let me know and I'll check out my transponder.
04 03 53 38LMP Yes, we're through with that now.
04 03 53 41CMP Thank you. I'm maneuvering the ...
04 03 58 44CMP That transponder checked out. I hope they've got a nice, big, strong ... for you.
04 03 58 49LMP Very good.
04 03 59 56LMP Hey, Mike, what would you recommend as a good setting on the 16 millimeter?
04 04 00 02CMP Well, what they recommend for you is f:8 at 1/250th and put it not on infinity, but on 7 feet, which covers all the way from infinity down to a very short distance to keep it in focus, and 6 frames per second, I guess.
04 04 00 25LMP Yes, what you say, f:8 at 1/250th?
04 04 00 28CMP Yes, f:8 at 1/250th. And after you get it all set up, check that f-stop again because it slides and slips off with very little twist.
04 04 03 53CMP How about using, as an undocking time, 100 hours and 12 minutes? That suit your fancy?

DAY 5  –  Page 158
04 04 03 59CDR That'll be fine.
04 04 04 05CMP Okay.
04 04 04 11CDR What have you got for AOS, Mike?
04 04 04 14CMP I have 100 hours and 16 minutes.
04 04 04 20CDR Okay.
04 04 10 44CMP We got just about a minute to go; you guys all set?
04 04 10 48CDR Yes, I think we're about ready.
04 04 11 47CDR We're all set when you are, Mike.
04 04 11 51CMP 15 seconds.
04 04 12 03CMP Okay, there you go. Beautiful!
04 04 12 06CDR ...
04 04 12 10LMP Looks like a good SEP.
04 04 12 19CMP Looks good to me.
04 04 12 59CDR Okay. I've killed my rate, Mike, so you drift out to the distance you like and then stop your rate.
04 04 13 13CDR Starting my yaw.
04 04 13 30CDR There's sure a better visual in the simulator.
04 04 13 38CMP Okay. I picked up a little roll; I'm going to get rid of it.
04 04 14 22CDR Okay with you if I start my pitch, or you think you're not far enough away yet, Mike?
04 04 14 31CMP I'd prefer you stand by just a couple of seconds, Neil.
04 04 14 34CDR Okay. I'll wait for when you're ready  –  when you think you've got your rates killed perfectly.

DAY 5  –  Page 159
04 04 14 39CMP Okay. I'm still holding ...
04 04 14 41CDR ...
04 04 15 26CMP Okay, looks pretty good to me now.
04 04 15 30CDR Okay.
04 04 16 34CMP Just like in the simulator, you're drifting off to one side and down below a little bit.
04 04 16 39CDR Yes.
04 04 17 06CMP The gear are looking good; I've seen three of them.
04 04 17 11CDR The MESA is not down, right?
04 04 17 14CMP Say again.
04 04 17 15CDR The MESA's still up?
04 04 17 19CMP Yes.
04 04 17 20CDR Good.
04 04 17 49CMP Now, you're looking good.
04 04 17 59LMP Roger. Eagle's undocked. The Eagle has wings. Looking good.
04 04 18 18CMP Okay. You've got it, P00 and DATA.
04 04 18 39CDR You check our tracking light, Mike?
04 04 18 44CMP It came on.
04 04 18 56CMP Camera's working beautifully.
04 04 19 00CDR Track off?
04 04 19 04CMP It's off.
04 04 19 05CDR I'm ready to start my yaw maneuver if it suits you, Mike.

DAY 5  –  Page 160
04 04 20 04CDR Does it look like you're going to be able to do this without firing any thrusters, Mike?
04 04 20 11CMP I'd have to fire laterally once or twice.
04 04 20 22CMP Very small.
04 04 20 26LMP Go ahead, Houston. Eagle is ready to copy.
04 04 21 49LMP Go ahead.
04 04 21 59LMP That's affirmative. Go ahead with the PDI.
04 04 24 46LMP Roger. Back to BLOCK and DOI: 101:36:14.07; minus 0075.8, plus all zeros, plus 0009.8; 0057.2, plus 0008.5, 0076.4, 0:30; 000, 293; minus 0075.9, plus all zeros, plus 0009.0; NA. Over.

No PDI plus 12 abort: 102:44:37.00; plus 0122.3, minus all zeros, plus 0188.9; 0152.0, plus 0011.0, 0225.0, 0:46; 000, 190; plus 0118.7, plus 0000.0, plus 0191.1; 103:31:07.00; 105:12:30.00. Over.
04 04 29 00CMP Neil, I'm maneuvering in roll.
04 04 29 03CDR Roger. I see.
04 04 29 08LMP Houston, Eagle. Are you copying the fairly large numbers for range and range rate in  –  VERB 83? And did you  –  you just give us a state vector that changed one of the two vehicles? Over.
04 04 29 38LMP Okay. That explains the difference.
04 04 31 03CDR You want him to go to HIGH GAIN, YAW, zero or  –  say again the numbers.
04 04 31 17CDR Okay. YAW, zero; PITCH, minus 20, on the HIGH GAIN. Columbia.
04 04 31 24CMP Yes, I copy that, and I'll do it just as soon as I get to it.

DAY 5  –  Page 161
04 04 31 27CDR Okay, he says he'll do that as soon as he gets around there.
04 04 31 38CMP Okay, Neil, I'm all set for the SEP burn, and we're looking good on this phasing.
04 04 31 42CDR Okay.
04 04 32 38CMP Columbia, read you loud and clear. Houston, how me?
04 05 26 54LMP Burn time, 30 seconds.
04 05 28 44LMP Okay, state vector looks relatively good. ...
04 05 29 01CDR Mike, how do you read?
04 05 29 10LMP Columbia, Eagle. How do you read?
04 05 29 12CMP Very good. How do you read me?
04 05 29 13LMP Very good. If you are ready, give the mark and we'll go to B DATA. Over.
04 05 29 19CMP Stand by 1. I'm ...
04 05 29 22LMP Are you ...?
04 05 29 27CDR 63.
04 05 29 56CMP ...; they look good.
04 05 29 59LMP Okay, let's switch to B DATA now.
04 05 30 02CMP Okay.
04 05 30 25CMP Eagle, Columbia.
04 05 30 29LMP Go ahead.
04 05 30 31CMP Columbia's ...
04 05 37 45CMP Eagle, Columbia. How's it going?
04 05 37 47CDR Mike, the burn's complete; it was on time  –  residuals are nulled, and AGS's free.

DAY 5  –  Page 162
04 05 37 55CMP Beautiful.
04 05 42 58CMP Eagle, Columbia.
04 05 42 59LMP Go ahead.
04 05 43 02CMP Roger. I'm ready to go back to VHF RANGING configuration. Be alright?
04 05 43 08LMP Roger. Let's go now to VHF RANGING.
04 05 43 11CMP Over and out.
04 05 43 20CMP Okay.
04 05 43 24LMP And you got VERB 76 in?
04 05 43 27CMP Yes, 76 is in ... locked up.
04 05 43 47CMP And we're ... 7.5 ...
04 05 43 52LMP Roger. That's just what we got, 7.6.

04 05 44 13LMP  –   –  for ...  –   – 
04 05 44 15CDR HIGH BIT, 8 minutes.
04 05 44 17LMP You don't have an 8-minute mark.
04 05 44 18CDR 67 feet per second. Go ahead with the ...
04 05 44 23LMP Can't beat that. Okay, through with that?
04 05 44 26CDR Yes. I like it.
04 05 44 31LMP Hold on to the ... below.

DAY 5  –  Page 163
04 05 44 35CDR Okay. And I'll pull the breakers  –  think we can ... roll.
04 05 44 51LMP Yes.
04 05 45 03LMP Got them both?
04 05 45 05CDR What?
04 05 45 06LMP Got them both?
04 05 45 07CDR Yes. ...
04 05 45 34LMP Okay, it ...
04 05 45 42CDR Going to load the PDI plus 12, right?

04 05 45 54CDR Okay. I'm going to start pitching down to 125.
04 05 46 15LMP No PDI plus 12.
04 05 46 34CMP I have you right down ... 65 feet per second.
04 05 46 38CDR Sounds good.
04 05 47 03LMP Okay, the camera is set. And ought to be ready to do the P52.
04 05 47 13CDR Yes.
04 05 47 15LMP Not going to be much of a drift check.
04 05 47 23CDR It  –  it torques them late enough to ensure that  –  ... the drift check.
04 05 47 32LMP Sure seems like we're going the wrong way.
04 05 47 42LMP How much do we got to go to pick it up?
04 05 47 46CDR Got to go  –  oh, half the moon to go, I guess.
04 05 48 05CDR Coming down already.
04 05 48 06LMP Okay. It's got us 152; it's 151; there's ..., okay? ...

04 05 49 05LMP Why not?
04 05 49 06CDR I have to roll.
04 05 49 09LMP Yes, that's right.
04 05 49 11CDR In 2 more minutes.
04 05 49 32LMP Well, I did ... attitude.
04 05 49 37CDR Yes, you'll have to roll over; well, I guess I might as well do that.
04 05 49 45LMP Where's your watch? Got your stopwatch?
04 05 49 48CDR Got it in my pocket.
04 05 50 03LMP Well, the ... us over, huh?
04 05 50 06CDR ...
04 05 50 16CDR And, one thing I'd appreciate if you could  –  see if you could  –  find the  – 
04 05 50 30LMP What?
04 05 50 34CDR The map.
04 05 50 36LMP Yes. Which one do you want? I've got  –   – 
04 05 50 37CDR ...

04 05 50 52LMP Trade you that for a piece of gum. There it is.
04 05 50 59CDR ...
04 05 51 17CDR When do we have to get these? Alright, go on.

DAY 5  –  Page 165
04 05 51 40LMP What do you mean by bringing  –  bringing CSM trash in here?
04 05 51 42CDR Well, that's stuff I had left over in my pocket.
04 05 53 30CDR You want ...?
04 05 53 44CDR Screen ...
04 05 53 53CDR You in AUTO?

04 05 54 09CDR 312, it likes.
04 05 54 13LMP Well, we ought to proceed on that for a while.
04 05 54 18CDR Okay.
04 05 54 27LMP These clocks you can't move like you can some. Let me try and get that clock set for PDI. ... 33 ...
04 05 54 38CMP ... updates ...
04 05 54 47CDR Yes, we're keeping busy down here.
04 05 54 52CMP Okay.
04 05 55 54LMP Can't change this thing, once it gets going; like in the middle of a  –   –

04 05 57 08CDR Okay.
04 05 57 09LMP Got it on?
04 05 57 14CDR Now I need a VERB 76. I'm right on in pitch.
04 05 57 21LMP You want a VERB 76? Okay, you got it.
04 05 57 33CDR Hmm.
04 05 57 40CDR How are you doing  –  you going to be about ready to mark?
04 05 57 46LMP Yes.
04 05 57 55LMP Say, how about you remembering the number that I read to you; don't have to write it down. Roll right just a little.
04 05 58 08CDR Just about ready to mark.
04 05 58 10LMP Go ahead.
04 05 58 12CDR Oh, this cottonpicking  –  thought I was.

04 06 00 43CDR MARK it.
04 06 00 44LMP ...  –  13; KEY RELEASE; PROCEED. 4 13  –  ... it should have been  –  closer yet.
04 06 01 00CDR Okay, Mike, we passed the star check. Foxtrot.
04 06 01 04CMP Very good. ...
04 06 01 16CDR Very good. Okay? ...
04 06 01 29LMP Alright, let's go to  –  pitch to 180, 285, and zero.
04 06 01 47CDR Okay. We'll ...
04 06 02 11CDR Cottonpicker just won't stay  –  try it!
04 06 02 16LMP Well, wait until we lose that descent stage, man.
04 06 02 19CDR We'd better take  –  a  –  piece of tape; hold that down.
04 06 02 25LMP How about if you get the bottom in the  –  get the bottom underneath this cover? That help?

DAY 5  –  Page 168
04 06 02 34CDR Well, it  –  it's still not; I've had it in there real good couple of times.
04 06 02 42LMP Your  –  hoses were tearing hell out of my board.
04 06 02 47CDR Sorry.
04 06 02 50LMP You got INVERTER 1 circuit breaker in, right?
04 06 02 53CDR Checked in.
04 06 02 54LMP Okay. I'm going to check INVERTER 1. INVERTER 2 is good; and INVERTER 1 is good, and we're on INVERTER.
04 06 03 05CDR ... look good.
04 06 03 16LMP Okay, get your AELD circuit breaker in and ABORT STAGE circuit breaker in.
04 06 03 19CDR AELD is in; ABORT STAGE is in.
04 06 03 24LMP Cycle the CWEA? No, we must have lost one.
04 06 03 28CDR Yes. That cottonpicker may be trouble.
04 06 03 35LMP Well, we'll have to tell them about that. I don't know when it  –  when it went out, because we didn't get any light that I saw, did you?
04 06 03 45CDR I think it's just a switch. I ... if it doesn't trigger a light  – 
04 06 03 50LMP Something  –   – 
04 06 03 51CDR Oh, we're in PULSE, and we're not commanding any firing  –   – 
04 06 03 55LMP I don't know; that could have come under DOI, but I doubt it.
04 06 04 02CDR I just think that's one of those sticky flags. ... got a good engine.
04 06 04 11LMP Alright, let's see.
04 06 04 12CDR ...

DAY 5  –  Page 169
04 06 04 18LMP ENGINE STOP button was reset?
04 06 04 24CDR ENGINE STOP button is START, but it is going to be now.
04 06 04 31LMP Alright. Window bars; THROTTLE CONTROL to AUTO.
04 06 04 39CDR Okay. THROTTLE CONTROL to AUTO.

04 08 42 12CMP It looks like a nice area, though.
04 08 42 46CMP Houston, Columbia. I say again: I did not see them. AUTO optics pointed at a spot very close to the coordinates which you gave me, so I picked

DAY 5  –  Page 180
   out a tiny crater in that area and marked on it, so that I'll be able to have repeatable data, but I was still unable to see them.
04 10 36 14CMP Houston, Columbia. I'm coming up on my time for the first pass when I may be able to see the LM. Do you have any topographical cue that might help me out here on  –  AUTO optics is tracking between two craters. One of them, as the LM sees it, would be long at 11 o'clock; the other would be short and behind him at 5 o'clock. They're great big old craters  –  depressions.
04 10 38 40CMP Roger, Houston. Columbia ... up. I kept my eyes glued to the sextant that time, hoping I'd get a flash of reflected light off the LM, but I wasn't able to see any of my scan areas that you suggested.

DAY 6  –  Page 201
05 07 34 15LMP Good enough.
05 07 34 21CDR Seems like when you get down to around 110, you just keep chasing him. You put it in  –  stick it in one axis, and it goes through  –  out of another, especially when ... stays about the same.

05 11 01 31LMP That was to  –   – 
05 11 01 35CMP You ought to check the flight plan, it doesn't mention the (laughter) probe or the drogue. It says I remove my hatch, and then I notify you that you're clear to open your hatch.
05 11 01 49CMP Huh?
05 11 01 58LMP Oh, no.
05 11 01 59CMP So, that's just the contingency.

05 11 03 09CMP Damn! My ears hurt from wearing this thing.
05 11 03 15LMP How are the earpieces  –  inside ...
05 11 03 22CMP ...
05 11 03 24LMP ...
05 11 03 26CMP Yes, I hate those damn ...

DAY 6  –  Page 214
05 11 03 28LMP Yes, they're not  –  ...
05 11 03 32CDR Yes. I believe  –  Did you hear any noise during  –  you didn't hear any noise during descent, did you? ...
05 11 03 38CMP ...
05 11 03 39CDR How about during lift-off?
05 11 03 41CMP ...
05 11 03 46CMP How was lift-off? How did lift-off feel?
05 11 03 48LMP Well, there was a little  –  little blast  –  then we started moving; then we could see all those  –   – 
05 11 03 56CMP ... were you very stable; I mean, you just sort of floated up or was there a bunch of rattling around?
05 11 04 01LMP  –   –  The floor came up to meet you. I think it multiplied g by ...  –  it was about  –  at lift-off  –  maybe  –  half a g or two-thirds of a g.
05 11 04 25CMP Well, you know,  –  well, just looking at that one sample, it was  –  I'm surprised you didn't have a lot more dust. Now you saw dust during descent, I think, around 40 feet, something like that, 30 feet maybe.
05 11 04 38LMP Yes it was  –   – 
05 11 04 43CMP But it's pattern is such that it sprays out horizontally, and it doesn't really come up and engulf you, huh?
05 11 04 48LMP All the stuff looks like very light tan and gray, you know, that's  –  that's the color of it. When you get right up there to it, when you see it, why that isn't the color at all.
05 11 05 01CMP Dark  –  battleship gray, isn't it?
05 11 05 05LMP Maybe not  –  I don't know  –   – 
05 11 05 08CMP Well, what kind of  –   – 

DAY 6  –  Page 215
05 11 05 09LMP  –   –  what stuck to the spacecraft, I think you can see afterwards  –   – 
05 11 05 12CMP What do you think it is from the  –  geology standpoint, is it basalt dust?
05 11 05 19CDR ...
05 11 05 21CMP Well, do the rocks  –  do the rocks all look the same? They're different  –  good, great; I'm glad to hear it.
05 11 05 28LMP There's really a tremendous  – 
05 11 05 42LMP Little sparkly stuff; quite a bit of it all over.
05 11 05 46CMP I'll be damned; I'm glad  –  I'm glad it wasn't just  –   – 
05 11 05 48MS ...
05 11 05 50LMP Yes, is that right?
05 11 05 59CMP Luckily, you were able to get a little bit of everything. I mean, were the rocks  –  I mean, how did you  –  did you go around and  –  just pick up rocks, put them in  –  in  –   – 
05 11 06 08LMP We were kind of rushed, if that's what you mean.
05 11 06 15CMP Yes.
05 11 06 24CDR ...
05 11 06 25CMP Great, great. Yes, it's  –  beautiful. Man, that's beautiful. It doesn't make a dip whether ... and all that, I mean you know, they mapped the area and all that  –   – 
05 11 06 38LMP Eventually, it does  –   – 
05 11 06 40CMP Huh?
05 11 06 41LMP Well, eventually, it does  –  it shows the ...  –  you can see those  –  ...

DAY 6  –  Page 216
05 11 06 54CMP That's great; fantastic! That'll keep those geologists jumping for years.
05 11 07 00LMP Yes, you got to keep ... No, that's right, you got a 6-foot pole, you just stick ...  –   – 
05 11 07 07CMP Sort of like wet sand  –   – 
05 11 07 08LMP  –   –  about that far.
05 11 07 09CMP Is that right? I don't know. I'm inclined to ...
05 11 07 17CDR ... Is this yours?
05 11 07 59CMP You yawed right 13 degrees? What's nominal?
05 11 08 05CDR Yaw left 13 degrees.
05 11 08 08CMP Ah so, ah so.
05 11 08 32CDR I guess the main thing on this stowage is to make sure it's reasonable for the g's we'll get during TEI and sometime on the way home we can get everything all squared away for ...
05 11 08 46CMP No, I'm in no rush. Go ahead  –  go ahead and get everything all packed away; I hate to have  –  a couple of suits out. If you want to air it for a while, go ahead and get the hose to it, and  –  I'm in no rush. I'll take this thing off after you guys are done there.
05 11 09 20CDR ...
05 11 09 30CMP Yes. Is that right?
05 11 09 44CMP You finally got it level, huh? What was that thing that you said it was supposed to be concave but it was convex?
05 11 09 50LMP ...
05 11 09 53CMP Yes, yes.
05 11 10 01LMP ... looking down there ... sure looked like it was convex ... Neil walked back a little later and it was right smack in the middle ...  –   – 

DAY 6  –  Page 217
05 11 10 29CMP But there's all different kinds of rocks, huh, or at least several different kinds? Well, how  –   – 
05 11 10 32LMP  –   –  ...
05 11 10 41CMP Well, did  –  when you look  –  when you're walking around or just looking out the window of the LM, did it appear very homogeneous? Everything sort of the same color and all, or did it look ...?
05 11 10 56LMP ...
05 11 10 58CMP It's that dark battleship gray like?
05 11 11 01LMP When you looked down sun, it's very tan, very tan.
05 11 11 03CDR ...
05 11 11 14CMP When you looked down sun, it looks almost white, just a reflection from the sun.
05 11 11 21LMP Well, ... as it goes out ... while on earth it gets ... in the atmosphere ...  –   – 
05 11 11 27CMP Yes.
05 11 11 28LMP  –   –  ... that might be indicative of why ...  –   – 
05 11 11 51CMP Yes.
05 11 12 03CMP Neil, when you get a hand, would you push that little goddam valve down to DUMP? Never mind, never mind.
05 11 12 14CDR ... be sure and get the right one ...  –   – 
05 11 12 20CMP It's the lower valve on the lower panel  –  lower left; that guy right there. Yes, that guy right there; put him down to DUMP. Dump's easy, fine; set the clock.
05 11 13 08CDR ...
05 11 13 10LMP Here's one.
05 11 13 12CMP ... for the hoses? Well, check the ends of the hoses.

DAY 6  –  Page 218
05 11 13 22CMP Well, why don't you leave the vacuum cleaner; I think you just got ... now the other one  –   – 
05 11 13 29LMP No, this one's got ...
05 11 13 31CDR Okay. Now the one I got is for my hose over here which doesn't have  – 
05 11 13 55CMP How big are the rocks that you just scurried around and picked up with the tongs? Good gravy! Beautiful! Just crack those guys open and get a  –  you know, virgin interior of them in a vacuum, and they'll have a ball. ...
05 11 14 19CMP Hey, the Velcro  –  the Velcro around them sort of ...
05 11 14 35CMP Huh?
05 11 14 37CDR I said, this is my field geology ...
05 11 14 40CMP Right.
05 11 14 49CDR ...
05 11 15 10CMP We could move  –  we could move that bag  –  it's no big thing, we can move the bag. Don't worry about it; we're going to leave it this way for TEI, right? Might as well.
05 11 15 28CDR ...
05 11 15 32CMP Good day, I don't know. It's  –  I tell you, it's not a bad way to live, with that couch in there  –  I sort of  –  oh, yes, I agree; we can put two up and one down  –  ...
05 11 15 53LMP ...
05 11 16 08CMP Yes, we could put the couch up now if you want to do that.
05 11 16 14LMP Okay.
05 11 16 15CMP Yes. Maybe it  –  maybe it would make more sense to put the couch up now. Why don't you let me wrestle with the couch before we do anything more to this damn poor L-shaped bag?

DAY 6  –  Page 219
05 11 16 26LMP ...
05 11 16 29CMP Alright. And we're  –  we're LOS here for a while anyway, 131  – 
05 11 16 54CMP Here's about where we are, ... Yes, this is the handiest little thing you've ever seen. ... goes right in the helmet side, won't come out, and you can grab hold of anything you want, and there it is, it won't ...
05 11 17 08LMP (Laughter) ...
05 11 17 42SC (Yawn)
05 11 20 23CMP ... all this little stuff ...
05 11 21 42LMP ... is this optional  –  sort of  –  ...? Huh?
05 11 21 54CMP No, optional ...
05 11 22 11CMP No, no, this is  –  used for the intervalometer?
05 11 22 17LMP ...
05 11 24 27CDR ... might have some layers on the wall of that crater. It just occurred to me that  –  that's got to be the result of ... of some sort ...
05 11 28 02CDR ... is looking good.
05 11 28 05LMP Think so.
05 11 28 12CDR A little more.
05 11 28 26CMP You got to do what, Neil?
05 11 29 27CDR I don't think it's harder to ... than it is  –  at orbital speeds. ... There just isn't any way really of ... altitude  –  or the size of this thing.
05 11 29 59CMP We're in INERTIAL, aren't we?
05 11 30 10CDR No, you want to go to INERTIAL?
05 11 34 35CMP I wonder if Neil has made any preparations?

DAY 6  –  Page 220
05 11 35 29CDR What's your altitude?
05 11 35 34CMP ...
05 11 35 52CDR I guess we could put  –  ... to ...
05 11 37 25LMP Hey, Neil, I think this  –  this does have something ...
05 11 37 30CDR Alright.
05 11 37 35LMP ... Now it's on the other side. No, down, down ...
05 11 39 18LMP What did you have on ...?
05 11 39 24CMP No, that side. Yes, it was down to 3. He called 30 seconds at one time.
05 11 39 32LMP Yes, ...
05 11 39 38CMP Yes, he called 60 seconds; then I heard him call 30 seconds.
05 11 40 15CMP Yes.
05 11 40 16LMP ... I got it, thank you.
05 11 40 21CMP Well, it's held under that forward-velocity unit.
05 11 40 46CMP How's that?
05 11 41 05CMP With the ..., I don't see how you can  – 
05 11 41 19CDR Leaving on your ... in here?
05 11 41 26CMP I think  –  you had that same pair on all the time.
05 11 41 57CDR Is that the ...  –  sitting there?
05 11 42 05CMP Yes, here it is.
05 11 42 06CDR Let me put it down here. Bring it on down. Over here. Put them all in one place.
05 11 42 30CDR You ready for your underwear? Mike  –  you ready for your underwear? You ready for your underwear?

DAY 6  –  Page 221
05 11 42 43CMP Just a minute; yes.
05 11 42 54LMP ...  –  put our  –  LCG.
05 11 42 59CDR Yes.
05 11 43 10CMP Somehow we'll figure a way to ...
05 11 45 22CDR 2 feet per second.
05 11 45 46LMP You didn't maintain that 3-½ feet per second down there.
05 11 45 51CDR (Laughing)
05 11 45 56LMP Well, I hope  –  I hope they have the data that shows just what we did have at contact when they can get photographs ... all the film we got.
05 11 46 14CDR Yes.
05 11 46 19LMP Well, I really couldn't put the ... no place, not that I'm sure of it, but my light came on, why, ... hit.
05 11 47 18CDR Yes, that's sure  –  the way that thing was working  –  the way that thing was working and stayed locked on all the way down  –  Gees, it was a beautiful thing.
05 11 47 44CDR You mean you didn't ...?
05 11 47 53LMP Getting all the damn alarms.
05 11 48 06LMP Boy, I thought for a while there that some of those might get a little ...  –  ... I'd reset the program alarm in time for a ... out of there.
05 12 59 10CMP Will that one do? ...
05 12 59 48LMP Are you staying in this inertial attitude? Let's just leave it in REACQ then; it works just like a charm.
05 12 59 55CMP Yes, that's right.
05 13 00 09CDR How about that?

DAY 6  –  Page 222
05 13 00 55CDR Beautiful.
05 13 00 59CMP 405 and 404  –  What's the matter with it? (Laughter)
05 13 01 02LMP 403 I think we ...
05 13 01 09CMP ... alignment, oops, I got 404 again.
05 13 01 55CMP How about that, wise asses! Huh?
05 13 01 58LMP You had a  –  you had to work though, didn't you?
05 13 03 08CMP ... O2 fuel cell's ....
05 13 03 17CDR This is not dumping.
05 13 03 19CMP I figured that.
05 13 03 25CDR Did you try the other line?
05 13 03 26CMP Well  –  no, I haven't tried a whole number of alternatives. In fact, number 1 is not dumping. My guess would be that it's something to do with this connection in the UCD or something like that. When you try to dump your ... regular urine bag, ... It's so goddam smelly, I hate to grab it and dick around with it, but I guess I got to.
05 13 03 47CDR Not entirely. I think I'd rather stick around ...
05 13 04 40CDR ...
05 13 05 36LMP How long does it take to warm up this thing? 3 hours?
05 13 05 38CMP ...
05 13 05 46CDR What state vector is in the LM slot? The LM?
05 13 05 54LMP ... minus a few feet per second. ...
05 13 05 59CDR Well, we got something in the LM slot ...
05 13 06 03CMP Well, that's just an old vectors, because I never did VERB 66, I don't think, after ...

DAY 6  –  Page 223
05 13 06 32LMP We got 22 feet per second. Almost have to be LM  –  previous to the SEP burn.
05 13 10 11CDR Well, when it gets to be light, we got to ...
05 13 10 19LMP Well, we probably ought to  –  ... TPI.
05 13 10 27CMP Yes, the maneuver ... right amount of ...
05 13 11 24CDR ... give me a waste bag. ...
05 13 11 31CMP Yes, just ... a lot ... there.
05 13 12 17CMP It was back here.
05 13 12 19LMP Yes.
05 13 13 03CMP Who took the roll of tape?
05 13 13 08CDR Isn't it in its place? Closet?
05 13 13 10CMP No, no, it's not in there. It doesn't have that closet anymore. The last I saw it, it was up on the MDC. I gave it  –  I handed it to one of you guys to  – 
05 13 13 17LMP Yes, I stuck it someplace.
05 13 13 25CMP Let's invent a new home for it because that old home is full of that smelly old urine bag.
05 13 13 34CDR The floodlight isn't  –  hasn't even made the bottom of the package warm yet, fellows.
05 13 13 39LMP Well, when it goes up there, we'll have to put it up here.
05 13 17 10CMP I got the tape  –  right underneath your couch. Okay?
05 13 17 19LMP Alright.
05 13 17 25CMP Okay, we need a new home for the tape. Anybody got any good suggestions?
05 13 17 36CMP Okay?
05 13 17 39LMP Alright.

DAY 6  –  Page 224
05 13 18 02CMP We believed you, though.
05 13 19 29CMP (Yawn)
05 13 19 40CDR ...
05 13 20 05LMP Go ahead.
05 13 21 25CDR I think we had a ...
05 13 21 44CDR Not a burn ...
05 13 21 55CMP Oh, God, why ... (laughter) ...
05 13 22 10CDR ... but right now, I am for a nice beer.
05 13 22 54CDR ..., some water here. Mike, do you remember trying to get water into a grapefruit-pineapple drink?
05 13 23 05CMP No, don't do it.
05 13 23 06CDR Yes.
05 13 23 07CMP Don't do it.
05 13 23 13LMP Couldn't get it in, huh?
05 13 23 15CDR No.
05 13 23 51CMP ..., Buzz?
05 13 23 59LMP ... some of that.
05 13 24 59CMP There's a piece of that great bread that has mold all over it.
05 13 26 45LMP You got the flight plan?
05 13 26 51CDR ...
05 13 27 05LMP ...
05 13 27 08CMP Probably are. I purged them this morning when I woke up, Buzz. Probably did the hydrogen as well.
05 13 27 16LMP 47, 32, 47?

DAY 6  –  Page 225
05 13 33 37CMP That was quite a wild gyration for docking.
05 13 33 40LMP It was.
05 13 33 42CMP Son-of-a-bitching  –   – 
05 13 33 43LMP You did a pretty good ...
05 13 33 49CMP If I'd known how it was going to develop, I wouldn't have gone as far with the bottle as I did. I was in the habit of it, you know, as soon as contact is made, I look at it. It looks okay, I fire the bottle right away.
05 13 33 56CDR ...
05 13 33 57CMP No, I would.
05 13 33 58CDR ...
05 13 33 59CMP No, no.
05 13 34 00CDR ...
05 13 34 01CMP ... No sooner than I fired that goddamned bottle, than wow; and away we went.
05 13 34 10LMP ...
05 13 34 32CDR No  –  they're way down so, I don't know  –  just ...
05 13 34 34CMP Then, when I fired the bottle, and then, just about all that came ... since the thing started, I went back to CMC, AUTO, ... bothering me. And just about that time all those ..., my God, those flashes ... I thought they were ... I thought we were ...
05 13 35 10CDR ... I mean later on ... all those ...
05 13 37 06LMP Look at this.
05 13 37 08CDR Yes.
05 13 37 09LMP Figured nobody could see where we were. ...
05 13 38 08CMP Hey, did we decide the ... back?

DAY 6  –  Page 226
05 13 38 38CMP No, the data should go to the log ... The only good thing there you can say about it is ...
05 13 38 55LMP ... you guys. ... love them ...
05 13 39 51CMP All that probe and drogue and claptrap works; all that EVA transfer, you can forget about that and all those crazy procedures for taking that probe apart.
05 13 40 12LMP At least, we can forget them until the debriefing.
05 13 40 14CMP Yes (laughter).
05 13 40 55LMP ...
05 13 41 23CMP This thing ... make a great ...
05 13 42 04CDR Picked up the CSM problem.
05 13 42 38CMP I've never thought about it.
05 13 42 50CDR ...?
05 13 42 51CMP No.
05 13 42 54LMP All at once.

05 13 45 34CDR You got something ...?
05 13 45 38CMP Yes. Yes, sir. Purring across the deep. Okay. Look at that.
05 14 57 22CDR Yes. We can get VERB 64 before we come over the hill and see what looks good.
05 14 57 28LMP Okay. LOS.
05 14 57 30CDR Okay. I'm ready to proceed now.

DAY 6  –  Page 227
05 14 57 34LMP Do it.
05 14 57 37CDR Here we go.
05 14 57 42CMP Say, you guys, ... anything you want to do?
05 14 57 56CDR I got to make a star check, yet.
05 14 58 07LMP You're not going to fool around with that camera anymore, are you?
05 14 58 09CDR No.
05 14 58 11CMP I'll take care of it for you.
05 14 58 13CDR Post  –  we might  –  after post  –  after PDI if you can put it somewhere where you can get at it. Going away from the moon. I just didn't want it in my way  –   – 
05 14 58 25CMP Get all  –   – 
05 14 58 26CDR Well, yes, pull it  –  pull it out of the way.
05 14 58 27LMP Neil, the handle  – 
05 14 58 29CDR I have it right here. That durn near has a roll in it  –  it  – 
05 14 58 38CMP I'll bet you ... likes this.
05 14 58 42CDR No. I don't care about any  –  Well, if it's annoying  –  let me  –  I can get it if it is. ... star check ... I don't care about ...
05 15 00 00LMP What's that pad say about horizon on the 100-degree  –   – 
05 15 00 05CMP 2 minutes prior, 100-degree line,
05 15 00 18CDR You got double lines?
05 15 00 19CMP Yes, I got double line on the 30, so I can use that as a head position ... look down between them.
05 15 00 25CDR They're not  –  they're not parallel? Can you see in the one-eye position?

DAY 6  –  Page 228

05 15 14 50LMP Shades of Gemini retrofire, are you sure we're  –  (laughter)  –  No, let 's see  –  the motors point this way and the gases escape that way, therefore imparting a thrust that-a-way.

05 15 15 06LMP Okay, we got 8-½ to TIG.
05 15 15 28CMP Somewhere along the line, I think I'll trim this maneuver just for the hell of it. Would this be a good time to do it, Buzz, at 8 minutes prior? You don't care when I do it, do you?
05 15 15 35LMP No, it probably would be after we  –  when the gimbals are out.

05 15 16 24CMP I know, I was looking at it upside down for a while.
05 15 16 27CDR Yes, and then that scares you, because that says you're going retrograde, right? Well, let's see, if it's upside down, you're going backwards.
05 15 16 33LMP Yes.

Looks like it's holding instead of plus or minus 5, more like plus or minus 8  –  It's possible that we have a roll-thruster problem, but if we have, it's taking it out. No point in worrying about it. Okay, coming up on 1 minute  –
