Aldrin: Am I set up on VHF?
Duke: Roger, 11. Over.
Armstrong: Looks tan to me.
McCandless: Roger, 11. (Pause)
Aldrin: It's coming across now from right to left.
McCandless: Go ahead with the logic. Loud and clear on the High Gain. We confirm skirt sep.
Aldrin: Okay. I will think about that a little. Suit and cabin pressures both look - I guess we should be cool.
McCandless: 11, we concur that having Verb 16, Noun 20 up on the DSKY may well have had some effect on your PTC initiation. Over.
Collins: Okay. Houston, Apollo 11.
Evans: Roger. It'll be coming up.
Collins: Yes. These Auto optics maneuvers or P23s, Auto maneuvers, don't seem to be going to the substellar point. Everybody happy with that?
Duke: Correction, you're... Big Brother's watching.
Armstrong: It doesn't matter what the other numbers are.
Aldrin: Out now?
Armstrong: 2 minutes to get our horizon check at 10 degrees. Get into attitude - see what we think.
Aldrin: Yes, right. Are you copying my Low Bit Rate? ...
Aldrin: Spacecraft Control, CMC and Auto, huh?
Duke: Rog. Over.
Aldrin: What are your dosimeters reading?
Collins: We're in Block. We'll keep a close eye out for the bunny girl. [Garble.]
Armstrong: At the most, yes.
Collins: Gimbal Motors, Pitch 2 and Yaw 2, On.
Aldrin: Okay. Roger.
Armstrong: They're open.
Collins: Stand by one. Okay.
Armstrong: Stand by. Oh, must have been around - 210.
Collins: It's quite an eerie sight.
Aldrin: Rog. And it appears to also be close enough to detent 6 to shine on the far side of the cone. Over.
Collins: Well, what kind of... Well, we haven't even done it yet.
Armstrong: Houston, Tranquility Base.
Aldrin: Okay, we ready to go to P63?
Collins: Don't look out window 1.
Aldrin: Houston, this is Eagle. Here you are. That didn't do anything, did it? Is it ballpoint, or is it...? The O2 fuel cell purge is complete.
Armstrong: What - What are the updates going to apply to?
Armstrong: What?
Aldrin: Okay.
McCandless: Understand.
Armstrong: Does it look like you're gonna be able to do this without burning thrusters, Mike?
McCandless: No change in the LM's weight - in the LM weight, and the readback is correct. It looks like you're about a half hour slow on it. We're getting a good picture of Buzz now, but no voice modulation. Would that be the inner edge of the northern surface?
Collins: Well, I promise to let you know if I stop breathing.
Collins: Waste storage vent valves closed. I couldn't tell whether we were down at 60 or up at 170 [111, 315 km resp.] Understand. Roger that.
Armstrong: ...towards gimbal lock.
McCandless: I bet you could tell if you were down at 50,000 feet. I imagine you get a - you'll get a real good look at that tomorrow afternoon. We've got 0.03 degrees per second in pitch now. Okay.
Armstrong: Okay, we're supposed to start charging Battery A. 2 to AC2.
Aldrin: 95 - that's - 7 - got 10 hours. Is that right?
Armstrong: You have a picture now, Houston?
McCandless: Okay. Tranquility Base. [Pause.]
Aldrin: 95 - that's - 7 - got 10 hours. [Long pause.] , Egress).
McCandless: Loud and clear, now.
Armstrong: Okay.
Aldrin: Data, On. Over. [Pause.] Yes, is that right?
Duke: It's bluish-green. Houston. How are you there?
Armstrong: Going to Track here. Apollo 11.
Evans: Apollo 11, Houston through ARIA. 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.
Collins: Okay.
Collins: You want to go back to 229 or what? And it's shaking everything a little bit. Delta-Vc 10435.6. You got any suggestions?
Aldrin: Yes, 02:25:30. How do you read me now, Bruce?
Collins: Okay, [garble]. Still close.
Aldrin: Roger.
McCandless: And, 11, this is Houston.
Collins: Yes. The 16-millimeter bag as well?
Aldrin: Negative. Throttle Control to Auto. What was the time we got on it?
Armstrong: Okay. Ready?
Collins: Yes. Go. Houston, I did that, and I believe we are flowing oxygen, but the gauge is just pegged Full Scale Low.
Armstrong: You're correct. What time is AOS?
Garriott: 11, that really winds things up as far as we're concerned on the ground, for the evening. I'll not read up the others unless you want them. How me? Over.
Collins: What goes in this VGX column?
Collins: Yeah.
Armstrong: Down Voice Backup.
Collins: You have to take it easy.
Collins: Beautiful.
Aldrin: Roger.
Duke: ...You are Go to continue... If you'll stand by, we'll see if we can improve the quality. Better, Mike. We'd like another Verb 74. Over.
Collins: Buzz will want to do a Verb 82.
McCandless: 11, we'd like you to shift to an Omni antenna configuration at the present time. Otherwise, I readback correct. [Pause.]
Collins: Right.
Aldrin: We're in good shape... Okay, we got them.
McCandless: Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston. Roger.
McCandless: Roger.
Collins: Okay, fine. 2 to AC 2.
Aldrin: Go ahead.
Armstrong: Hey, you...
Aldrin: No, I'm not Auto.
McCandless: Roger. You're really coming in beautifully. Out. [No answer.]
McCandless: Roger. We'll be back with you in just a second on it. Cream of chicken, three spoons. And Jim is smiling.
Aldrin: Translation Control. We got a [garble].
Collins: No, we haven't, as a matter of fact.
Armstrong: Okay.
Aldrin: On the , the radar can be pointing plus-X, and I'll be using right-rear detent.
Collins: Yes.... Showing up good?
Evans: Roger. GET 189 plus 00: RCS total, minus 1 percent; Alpha, minus 11; Bravo, plus 10; Charlie, minus 1; Delta, minus 1. We copy. Eagle - Columbia, Roger.
Aldrin: That'll be fine. Houston, were you able to record, in a documentary way (with the TV), where the two core tube samples were taken?
Armstrong: [Garble] that's the reason...
Aldrin: Okay. Go ahead.
McCandless: Roger. I understand you said something about contingency sample container on the ascent engine? And for your information, all LM systems are Go. Expect in the next rev you'll probably be getting ready for LOI-2.
Armstrong: [Garble?] Your Attitude Hold's no longer required.
Collins: That's right, that's the same way I read it. Okay.
Evans: He he, Roger.
Evans: Roger. We didn't have them on the downlink but we copied them on the Vox.
