Garbled transmissions.
Duke: You're welcome. Over. Over. Stand by for your read-back. Over. Collins: Chamber pressure is 100 psi even. Armstrong: It doesn't matter what the other numbers are. Aldrin: Okay. McCandless: Okay. Head on up the ladder, Buzz. [Long pause.] Collins: And notice register 3 has reversed itself, and it's heading back the other way now without any pitch thruster firing. Go ahead. Duke: Roger. That procedure is listed in your launch operations book on page 2-9, L2-9. Over. [Pause.] Armstrong: Okay. Collins: Go ahead. That means... McCandless: Roger. Radio check. ... Collins: [Garble]. Aldrin: Yes. Collins: Man, can't you stop some of that racket up there? Okay, well, why don't we [garble] back over there and [garble]? McCandless: 11, this is Houston. Collins: How about that? It's 135:34. Aldrin: Houston, Apollo 11. Are you through with the computer? Duke: Yes, sir. Aldrin: Tank pressures are good. CO2 canister change number 6; secondary radiator flow check; copy some PADs. Thank you. [Long pause.] Duke: Roger. Over. Could you describe, from your view, the polar cloud cap? That's why we had you turn the fan on. We got it now. Armstrong: [Garble.] Are you going to need the High Gain before you can look at our GDA position indicator? Aldrin: Are you staying in this inertial attitude? Armstrong: CMC. Armstrong: Go ahead. Collins: Okay. Armstrong: [Garble]? Collins: Let...let me tell them about the TV... Okay, we got it solid. Aldrin: I think that that's going to do it. Over. Armstrong: I got one. Slayton: Rog. Congratulations on an outstanding job. Hope you're all going to get a good sleep on the way back. Just want to let you guys know that, since you're an hour and a half over your timeline and we're all taking a day off tomorrow, we're going to leave you. You've earned it. Congratulations on an outstanding job. Hope you're all going to get a good sleep on the way back. This is the original CapCom. Okay. Aldrin: Okay. And Eagle is ready to copy lunar surface data card. Armstrong: We're hoping, Bruce, that our 16-mm film was working at that point in descent, and we'll be able to confirm our touchdown position. It'll take us about 5 minutes to get rigged. Thank you. Thank you. Have you run...? Keep looking through the periscope, then. Armstrong: Okay. Collins: See if that looks pretty good - through the sextant and see if that doesn't come up. Aldrin: No, I'm not going to lose you, brother. Duke: Eagle, this is Houston. She said: 'It was hard to think it was real until the men actually moved. Is Neil on? Armstrong: Okay. McCandless: Roger. We feel that possibly the - the state vector information that you were using for your maneuver basis yesterday may have needed to be updated a little. [Pause.] You will also have the Sun shining in - or shining at the hatch on the LM, and if you take down the window shades you should get some sunlight in. Over. Aldrin: Yeah, I'm afraid it's - We're just about plus-Z toward the Sun. onboard): See the Cat's Paw? (Pause) onboard): (inaudible) Duke: Roger. Over. Aldrin: Yeah. I can see all the islands in the Mediterranean. Yes, well, that's when you're talking at the same time. Evans: Eagle, Houston. And I have the changes there if you want to get out your surface checklist, and I can go ahead and start giving them to you. And when the LM does his P22 on your transponder, well then, that'll be our last shot at the LM's position. Collins: We did. Alright, cut-off nominal at 06:02; expect cut-off around 6 minutes even then, huh? Duke: Thank you very much, sir. Noun 81, minus 00758, plus all balls, plus 00098, plus - correction, 00572, perigee plus 00085 00764 030 000 293. Houston. Over. Duke: Break. Everything's looking real good now. With you. [Pause.] [Long pause.] This constant overcast in the MOCR here is a little hard to see outside. Armstrong: Roger. Armstrong: Okay. Duke: Rog, Mike. [Long pause.] Collins: Good theory. Aldrin: And mine's running, also, and it's cooling already. Armstrong: I haven't done the second GDC align yet; it comes up on the next page. How do you read (garble)? Aldrin: Okay. Aldrin: Okay. I'll bring the focus in, but we're going to be looking down past one of the LM quads and one of the antennas, almost straight down at the ground track that we'll be seeing coming in now. It was just a little bit shy of 40. Pitch 134 and yaw minus 32. Hey, Jim. Garriott: Okay. Over. Armstrong: Thank you. Aldrin: Fantastic. McCandless: Apollo 11, this is Houston through Canary. Out. Collins: Now, you're looking good. I wonder if Neil has made any preparations? Aldrin: Roger. Duke: Rog. Collins: Okay. 11. Aldrin: Here's this LCG check. Collins: Lunar orbit asleep. Aldrin: (Garbled under Neil) my antenna? Armstrong: In Block. I just want you to - when you get a chance, to read off the items that are on there, make sure we got them. Okay. Duke: Hello, Apollo 11. We'd like you to recycle and do this one over again. He's checking on it. Starting off: Congratulatory messages on the Apollo 11 mission have been pouring into the White House from world leaders in a steady stream all day. Go. Over. We're satisfied now. Over. A storm called Claudia which is north - correction - about east of Hawaii. [Long pause.] Armstrong: I'd guess it might have been probably 20 minutes after I noticed it that I mentioned it to you. [Long pause.] I got one. Duke: Roger. Collins: Go ahead. Aldrin: Okay. McCandless: Say again, 11? Over. McCandless: And you'll... Yes, indeed. Out. Aldrin: Roger. Duke: Hey, man. Tranquility Base, Houston. When we go LOS, we'd like you to go Off on the Biomed. [Pause.] [Pause.] Duke: And, Eagle, Houston. Duke: Sounds great. You're looking great at 8 minutes. Collins: Did you get any usable pictures out of MILA on that first pass? Aldrin: Well, we're waiting on you. Evans: Roger. Over. Aldrin: Okay, I want to get the lights out then. (Pause) Armstrong: ...how long is it supposed to take to... (Pause) Columbia's been on Delta, but he hasn't had much luck with you. Collins: With the [garble], I don't see how you can... Armstrong: That's right on your...(over) the middle (of the suit front). We may... Collins: All very quiet. Armstrong: Getting close. Aldrin: Okay. I got you locked back on again, Reacq and Narrow. Over. I can't get a real definitive answer, but you couldn't fix it any place to see much more out of the window without hand-holding it for the whole time. Armstrong: I got another warning tone. We think we're transmitting to you. They may have the vent modeled or some crazy thing like that, so I want to be at the right time. Now comes the gymnastics. Collins: You know, no matter how many times I put these optics eyepieces... Armstrong: Okay. (Laughter) We're going backwards. Yes. Collins: Okay. High Gain Antenna; pitch, plus 14 and yaw, 263. Over. Go ahead. Sleeping! Duke: Either one. Over. Over. Over. Aldrin: (Garbled) soot, huh? Mark. Lovell: Have the water temperatures been good? Collins: Well, I know there's an orange dot on this ... somewhere. McCandless: Roger. Aldrin: Well, eventually, it does - it shows the [garble] - you can see those - [garble]. Armstrong: Okay. Aldrin: I don't know. Pull. 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. |
