Garbled transmissions.
Aldrin: A? Collins: Okay. I'll bet you [garble] likes this. Collins: X and Z, 0.2... And just about that time all those [garble], my God, those flashes [garble] I thought they were [garble] I thought we were [garble]. Collins: Houston, Columbia. Armstrong: Then you might as well go to your - 293 Inertial, I guess. Aldrin: No. Collins: Well, it looks like it's probably almost your dinner time down there, Earth. Collins: Ready to copy on the leak check. Well, in the meantime, I'm going to pitch down toward 315. Evans: Columbia. Armstrong: Well, I suppose the best one would be the center window, don't you think? Collins: Ready to copy. Duke: Roger. In about 2 minutes, we'll be coming up on the High Gain. You are Go for separation, Columbia. That's a real good view. [Long pause.] Aldrin: And I can see it reflecting out my window, so it must be working. [Garble]. Collins: But its pattern is such that it sprays out horizontally, and it doesn't really come up and engulf you, huh? Duke: Rog. Over. Collins: 40 - and 250. I tweaked the (inertial) platform up on the back side. Because there's quite a difference between the gimbal angles you have and the gimbal angles the program wants, but with inaccurate state vector, I'm inclined not to believe the program. Yes, sure does. Aldrin: Why don't you guys sleep underneath tonight? McCandless: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over. McCandless: And the big news around Houston today concerns the Astros. Can you stand by for about 2 minutes? And we're watching you on TM down here. Collins: Okay. Duke: Roger, Buzz. [Pause.] I'd advise him to keep his hands off the switches. Aldrin: ...I want to get the circuit breakers... Aldrin: Houston, 11. Collins: Star 01, Earth near horizon. (No immediate answer) Collins: Thank you. Duke: Roger. (Making a mis-identification) Five-by, Neil. [Pause.] Collins: Okay, Buzz. Aldrin: Roger. Collins: Follow the needle, follow the needle [garble]. Aldrin: 600 feet, down at 19. Armstrong: 0.01. Duke: Roger. [Long pause.] [Pause.] Collins: [Garble.] Duke: Apollo 11, Houston. Rog. Aldrin: Okay, your... Evans: Columbia, Houston. And how is the resting standing up there? Over. Collins: Okay. Armstrong: See that Big Dipper there? McCandless: You're breaking up again, Buzz. (Long Pause) Coming up on Apollo Ridge. [No answer.] Lovell: Okay, The S-band antenna Omni A switch to Bravo which you have now, and S-band antenna Omni to the Omni position, and the High Gain Track to the Manual position. Are you getting hot water? Armstrong: Yes. Collins: Go ahead. It's behind the [garble]. Aldrin: 0.1 degree. It seemed as though the material had been baked somewhat and also scattered in a radially-outward direction, but in that particular area, this feature didn't extend more than about 2, maybe 3 feet, from the skirt of the engine. We've got them in their helmet bags, and I guess we're going to have to keep the helmets in the helmet bags, and the LEVAs in the LEVA bags. Collins: THC, Neutral. [Long pause.] Would you like to check them from your side? Aldrin: That's got it. Collins: Yeah. Aldrin: Houston, Apollo 11. You got the number? (Long Pause) McCandless: That's affirmative. Collins: We stopped boiling water. We're P00 and Accept. McCandless: Roger. Could you go through what you did after you noticed the talkback's barber pole again, please? (Pause) SC: [Garble]. (Sound of train) Collins: That's all right. You're welcome. Aldrin: It looks pretty good, as well as I can tell without the gear extended. You're backing into the cable. McCandless: 11, Houston. Out. Your map coordinates (for the LM) are Papa decimal 2 and 6 decimal 3 on the . [Long pause.] Aldrin: Look like - Looks like the best way to get a good, steady view through the monocular is to just steady it out and let it float right in front of your eye, and then you kind of float up next to it so that you're not touching it at all. Alright, I've seen enough of Verb 83, Mike... Collins: Yeah. McCandless: Say again, 11? [Pause.] Armstrong: Roger. Duke: Well, our guidance guy was telling me that you can actually load those ACDUs, the actual CDUs, but we'll - we're checking on that. You're about one-by. It will be about another 10 minutes or so before we get through the P22, and when we maneuver to attitude and get the High Gain, we'll have the updates for you. Over. Aldrin: No. Garriott: One other item relative to a malfunction procedure. Over. Over? Aldrin: It got more - more brown - with increasing Sun angle. Columbia, go ahead. Collins: Rog. Aldrin: Hey, Jim, I'm looking through the monocular now, and I guess to coin an expression, the view is just out of this world. Okay. Collins: It's [garble]? Proceed, torque. Armstrong: Okay. PAO: T minus 2 minutes, 45 seconds and counting. And the swimmer now scrubbing down the Command Module with the decontaminant. Swimmer: [Garble] up wind. Swimmer: Photo 1. [Garble]. PAO: After having breakfast and getting all squared away after the night's rest period, the crew will have a rather busy day today including the first manned landing on the Moon. Aldrin: Going AGS all the way, huh? McCandless: Good morning, Apollo 11. Say again. Aldrin: Hey, Charlie, are you saying that for a short period of time, he actually loaded Noun 20 with some value other than what's being read by the CDU? Aldrin: No. Auto maneuver. McCandless: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over. The one about the roof? Aldrin: Okay. McCandless: Roger. TEI-plus-4 PAD assumes no LOI-2. Over. Over. With respect to the Dow Jones Industrials, since closing on Tuesday afternoon the 15th up to about 1:05 p.m. Houston time this afternoon, why, the effect has been a net drop. [Long pause.] Aldrin: [Garble]. Collins: Will be shortly, Neil. McCandless: Roger. Neil. Frank Borman made the announcements at a dinner honoring the players. Roger. Armstrong: It sure doesn't look, sure doesn't feel like - Actually, it may be a little - it may be a little warm. Aldrin: Here's that same one going by again, Neil, remember? [Long pause.] Collins: Okay. Armstrong: Everybody through with the water? (Long Pause) Aldrin: Okay. One more. That's probably why we're not answering you right away. Collins: It's no trouble. Armstrong: Don't you want to beef up that radar? Have you run...? Keep pitching? And those - the crew of Apollo 10 was very impressed with the steepness of these ridges when they came over them at about 50,000 feet. Aldrin: I need that film now. Yes, we sure as hell have. Collins: They're trying. You know, we ought to get that picture one time. Where - where do the White Team go during their off hours anyway? Armstrong: Okay. Looking good. Duke: Columbia, Houston. Even read the scale on the eight-ball. [Pause.] Go ahead. Armstrong: Okay, I'll get it. Aldrin: 12 on here, right? And I'll show you, I hope, how easy it is to spread some ham [pause] while I'm in zero g. [Long pause. Personally, in reflecting on the events of the past several days, a verse from Psalms comes to mind to me. O quantity is about 91 (percent). Collins: Okay, everything's going well. Aldrin: Don't sweat that. You got all your things logged now? Collins: Yes. Armstrong: This is very interesting. McCandless: That's correct. Here we show you over the Sea of Fertility now, and we ought to have Langrenus down south of track a few degrees, about 9 degrees south of track. McCandless: Apollo 11, this is Houston. When you get back into your surface checklist and come over to the Comm reconfiguration on page Surface-45, we'd like you to enable the ranging feature on your S-band. [Long pause.] Data from The Apollo 11 Flight Journal and The Apollo 11 Surface Journal, mashed up by Leonard Richardson. We came in peace for all mankind. Updated every five minutes. |
