CMP: Roger, Charlie. Like to bring you up to date on our chlorination status. In compartment B4, we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven - correction, we have eight pockets for chlorine and buffer ampules, of which - Let me correct that. We have seven pockets, of which one is empty and always has been empty, leavin_ six remaining. On the other side over there in B7, we have another container with seven pockets, so we have a total of seven plus six, and those are filled with six chlorines and seven buffers. Now, I've been using ()ne chlorine and oae buffer per day which, at this point in time, I,_ior to this chlorination I'm about to do, leaves me one chlorine and two buffers. Seems to me I'm one chlorine short, and that being the case, I'd like to ask your advice on postponing this chlorination using the last container until some later date, like maybe tomorrow. Over.
CC: Roger. We copy, Mike. Stand by.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Check in Al, Mike, and see what you can find in there. Over.

CMP: Good afternoon, Houston. Apollo 11. Over. Houston.
CC: Good morning, 11. This is Over.
CMP: Okay. Crew status report: 88 and 8.5.
CC: Roger. 88 and 8.5. When you're ready, we've got a small flight plan update for you.
LMP: Houston, we're ready to copy.
CC: Roger. At about 148 hours, if you've not already done so, a CO2 filter change, and the H2 purge line heater on 20 minutes before the 02 and H 2 purge. At 148 hours, we'd like you to initiate a charge on battery Alfa instead of at 151 hours, and leave the charge on until we notify you further. At 150 hours GET, waste-water dump to 10 percent. We do plan to burn midcourse cor- an rection 5. It will be RCS burn about 5 feet per second at about the nominal time in the flight plan. Over.
LMP: Roger. Understand. We'11 be accomplishing the filter change shortly, the purge line heater is on ***, 02 and H2 purge shortly, and at 148 will initiate a charge on battery A until you notify us further. At 150 hours, waste-water dump to 10 percent. And we're looking forward to mid- course correction 5 at about 5 feet per second at the nominal time. Over.
CC: Roger. I've got your consumables update, if you're ready to copy.
CC: Okay. At GET of 147 plus 00, RCS total minus 2.0 percent, which is about minus 14 pounds. Alfa minus 12.0, Bravo plus 10.0, minus 3.0, minus 2.0. Hydrogen total minus 1.5 pou_lds, 02 total plus 20 pounds. Over.
LMP: Roger. I copy, and our onboard readouts: Alfa, *** 2 percent, Bravo 54 percent, Cocoa's 64 per- cent, Delta 61 percent. Over.
CC: Roger, 11. Would you read that quad Alfa again, please, Buzz. You're cutting out. It may be - are you operating on VOX? Over.
UNKNOWN: Alfa is 53 percent. Over.
CC: 11, from down here on telemetry, all your systems look to be in good shape.
CC: Roger. Would you ask Buzz to check his biomed- ical TM sensors for a loose or dried out sensor? We're getting an erratic electrocardiogr_un read- ing. That would be one of the three sternal le ads. Ove r.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Say again your last, please.

CMP: Roger. Is Bill Shaffer down there?
CC: Negative. But we've got a highly qualified team on in his stead.
CMP: Roger. I wanted to hear him explain it again to the press conference.
CMP: That's old Apollo 8 junk, but tell him the space- craft gave a little jump as it went through the
CC: Okay. I'11 pass it on to him. Thanks a lot, and Dave Reed is sort of burying his head in his arms right now.
CMP: Roger. Out.
CDR: Those g_s down there in the press room did a pretty good Job this morning.
CC: Yes, they have.
CDR: We don't want them to give up yet, though.
CC: No. They'11 hang in there for about another 47 hours or so.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. If you're not busy now, I can read you up the morning news.
LMP: Okay. We're all listening.
CC: Say again, 11?
LMP: Roger. We're all listening. Go ahead.
LMP: Look up the Dow Jones Industrials for us.
CC: Roger. Stand by a minute, please.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. We see you in POO. When you can give us ACCEPT, we have a state vector and target load uplink ready for you. computer.
CC: Apollo 11, we've completed the uplink. The computer' s yours.
CC: Roger. 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; that is, minus 6 points on the industrial average. So far today since opening, the Dow Jones indus- trial average has gone down by 11.05 after rising l-l/2 shortly after opening. Today's performance on the utilities is a drop of 1.63, and railroads a drop of 1.58. Over.
CMP: Every flight has to have some disadvantages, I guess.
CC: Roger. There is some speculation that you all are responsible for that 1-1/2-point rise right after opening.
CMP: Well, don't blame the 11-point drop on us, any- way.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. If you have a minute or so free, I wonder if we could get Mike to give us a little bit of clarification on what happened around about the time of docking. We copied him as mentioning that contact was very smooth, almost imperceptible; and we're a little bit inquisitive or curious about his remarks as to what happened after probe retraction. Over.
CMP: Roger. I docked in CMC AUTO, and as I said, I wasn't really sure of the moment of contact. I kept cross-checking the docking probe indicators. I got two barber poles indicating that the three capture latches - not capture latches, but the three ... latches had made, and we were soft docked. And at that t'J]ne the uit, uat, iou looked very stable. So, I went to CMO FREE, F_l_anccd back out the window and it still looked stable; and I fired primary 2 bottle. And at that time, a gyration began between the two vehicles due I'm not sure to what. Perhaps the LM thrusting or perhaps it was building up prior, and I hadn't noticed it. But anyway, during the RETRACT of the probe, there were yaw - my yaw excursions of, I would guess, around 15 degrees, and I had to ec_e hack on, take the FREE switch and throw it back to AUTO, and try to damp them out; and I guess Neil was doing the same in the I_. I'11 let him tell you about his side of it. And I though that we were not going to get a successful RETRACT and hard dock. However, in about - oh, I guess 6 or 8 seconds, I did hear - could see the situation damping out, and then we heard the noise indicating the docking latches had fired; and later on when I got into the tunnel, all 12 of them had properly engaged.
CDR: And on the LM side, we were in AGS MIN deadband ATT HOLD; and at contact, I thrusted plus-X; and shortly after that we had a sizable attitude oscillation and thruster firing, so we opened up the deadband to MAX and manually flew the vehicle into stable attitude during the retrac- tion. It went to OFF after ...
CC: Roger. Thank you very much. Out.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. I have your midcourse-correction-5 PAD available when you're ready to copy.

Over.
CMP: Roger. Go ahead, Houston.
CC: Roger. If Neil has a free minute, we've got a question or two regarding the CO2 partial pressure and water in the suit loop discrep- ancies noted yesterday. Over.
CC: Roger, 11. Was water noted in both suits or only in yours, Nell?
CDR: I think only in my suit.
CC: Okay. Can you locate that occurrence for us in time when you first noticed water in the suit, either by mission time or relation to any particular event?
CDR: I think it was after insertion sometime, Bruce. I don't remember exactly when. I - It was when we were irt orbit and had our - after we took our helmets off.
CC: Roger. Did you call it to us when you first noticed it, or was it sometime after when you called it?
CDR: I'd guess it might have been probably 20 minutes after I noticed it that I mentioned it to you.
CC: Roger. Was this noticing the water accompanied by erratic CO2 partial pressure readings, or was that a separate problem? Over.
CDR: Well, the water problem evidenced itself before we noted any erratic motions of the PC02 gage.
CC: Roger. And what was the relative sequence on selecting water separator number 2 and the secondary C02 canister; that is, did you go to the secondary water separator first and then the secondary C027 Over.
LMP: I believe we went to secondary C02 first.
CDR: Secondary hydroxide - lithium hydroxide.
CC: Roger. We copy. And was there any change in your suit loop - -
LMP: I should mention, Bruce, that when I went to water secondary - water separator to secondary there, I didn't notice any change. But about after 15 minutes or 20 minutes, the water stopped coming out. So maybe that was just water that was already in the loop that was still blowing out, but the secondary water separator was operating properly.
CC: Roger. Did you make any changes in the suit loop configuration after you went from the egress mode to the cabin mode after insertion; that is, in particular, they're interested in knowing if you recall changing the diverter valve position to EGRESS at any time wh_le you were on the secondary canister? Over.
CMP: No. I don't believe we did that at all, Bruce.
CC: Okay, 11. Thank you. That sums up our ques- tions for now, and we'11 crank these back into the engineering pipeline and see what we can come up with.
LMP: Okay. Are you satisfied that the C02 _ircuit breaker was in on Jettison? Over.
LMP: Roger. On LM Jettison, are you satisfied that the C02 circuit breaker was in? Over.
CC: Yes. It was in.
LMP: Roger. Could you confirm that? I thought there was some question after we got into the command module as to whether that had been left in or not. Over.
CC: Roger, 11. It was in and confirmed in, and the readings after Jettison stayed about O.1 to 0.2.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. We have not noticed any change in the signal coming through on the LMP's EKG. When he has a little free time, we'd like him to cheek into it again. Over.
CC: Roger. I looked at all three of the upper chest center ones, and they appear to be fairly tight. I'11 push them back in again. Over.
CC: Roger. On the TM here, we noticed some fluctua- tions that may have been attributed to your moving the sensors around or pushing on them, but the erratic problem seems to be persisting.
CC: Houston, Apollo 11. Over.
LMP: Roger. I wonder if you've noticed any change in the BIOMED returns you're getting. Over.
CC: Negative, Buzz. It still looks kind of bad. Apparently, when you move around, it's c_ting in and out. Have you checked the little electri- cal connector where it goes into the signal con- ditioner? Over.
LMP: Yes. They're all about as tight as can be. I tell you what; I'11 take them off and put them back on again and see if that makes any differ- ence.
CC: Okay. If you would, at your convience, we'11 be watching it down here. 97/1 Pa_c ',_1
CC: Apollo 11, this is Ilouston. We'd Ilks? yoLl to try acquisition on the high-gain antenna for us at pitch minus 90, yaw 270. Over.
CDR: Roger. That's in work.
CC: 11, this is Houston. We're showing about 6.8 per- cent on waste water on our telemetry now. Over.
CMP: Okay. We've got about 9, up here. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. We're standing by for your burn. Everything's looking good from down here.
LMP: Thank you, Bruce. You've got about a minute and 20 seconds.
CMP: Houston, do you copy our residuals?
CC: Roger. We've got your residual fuel counter reading for us.
CMP: DELTA-V C is plus 0.2.
CC: Roger. Plus 0.2.
CMP: That was actually plus 100.2. Okay?
CC: Go ahead, 11. and
CMP: Roger. We're in PTC attitude would you please give us a call when our thruster activity has subsided sufficiently?
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. We're going to hand over from Madrid to Goldstone at 151 hours even. If you should lose lock on the high gain at this time, you may reaequire at pitch minus 45, yaw 270. Break. We're still watching your rates. Over.
CDR: This is 11, Houston.
CC: 11, we're still seeing rates on your spacecraft above those we would like for the continuation of the PTC mode which we are still monitoring, and we'11 advise you when it has settled down. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. You are go for the spinup on PTC. Over.
CDR: Roger. It didn't like it that time. When I got down to the entry 27303 ENTER, it took off in roll at a high rate in excess of 1 degree per second. and Over. I've stopped it now, we are going to have to go back and do it over again. I'd like to try to find out the reason it did that.
CC: Roger. You might as well start setting up for it, and we will be working the problem here.
CDR: Okay. Do you have us on high bit rate here now?
CDR: Okay, good. I'11 maneuver back to PTC initiation attitude while you guys look at the data and see what you think.
CDR: Houston, Apollo 11. I think the reason is in having 1620 on the DSKY during the subsequent entries, or at least that's one possibility.
CC: Roger. We'11 check it out.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. While you're wait- lng for the CSM to settle down and for us to look at the tapes on your latest maneuver, would you feel like answering some more questions with relation to the lunar surface? Over.
CC: Roger. For 64 thousand dollars, we're still trying to work out the location of your landing site, Tranquility Base. We think it is located on LAM-2 chart at Juliet 0.5 and 7.8. Do you still have those charts on board? Over.
CDR: Yes. Stand by one. They're packed.
CC: Roger. You may not have to unpack it. The position which I just gave you is slightly west of West Crater. I guess it's about two-tenths of a kilometer west of it, and we were wondering if Neil or Buzz had observed any additional land- marks during descent, lunar stay, or ascent which would confirm or disprove this. One thing that we're wondering about is that if you were at this position, you would have seen the Cat's Paw during ascent just up to the north of your track. Over.
CDR: We were looking for the Cat's Paw, too, thinking we were probably downrange, beyond the Big V. But I think that it's likely that that might have been West Crater that we went across in landing, but - Stand by.
CDR: We're hoping, Bruce, that our 16-mm film was working at that point in descent, and we'11 be able to confirm our touchdown position. We thought that during ascent we might be able to pick up some recognizable objects close to the landing site, and we did see a number of small craters, and crater rows, and things like that, which we may be able to pick out after the fact, but we haven't been able to yet.
CC: Roger. And the next question from our p_lnel is for Buzz. We recall that he reported seeing a laser upon AOS of the Earth the first time after - the first REV after ascent, and we're wondering what color the beam was and if he could determine at the approximate location with respect to the Earth. Over.
CC: It was mostly white, perhaps a tinge of yellowish color to it; and it seemed to be - as I recall it, the terminator of the Earth was toward the horizon and seemed to be about a quarter to a third of the way down from - down towards the terminator of the Earth - from the opposite horizon. That's a third to a quarter Earth radii. Over.
CC: Roger. And that puts it in the light side? Over.
CC: Roger. Yes, it was in the light side. The Earth was about - a two-thirds lit Earth, with the terminator down toward the horizon. And now coming from the opposite limb of the Earth, sunlight the limb, coming down about one-quarter to one-third of a radius in from the limb. Generally, pensively located with respect to a line drawn perpendicular to the terminator that goes through the center. Over.
CC: Roger, Buzz. We copy. It5° ths,t
UNKNOWN: I got pictures of that. I'm sure will show up.
CDR: And I saw that, too. It was a very bright spot of light and I confirm Buzz's observation of its position.
CC: Okay, 11. Very good. Now, with respect to the documented sample container: on television it appeared to us as though the ssnsoles for that container were in fact being given - being selected in accordance with some thought or consideration being given to the rocks them- selves. And we were wondering if you could give any further details from memory about any of these samples, and the context of the material or the surface from which they were taken. Over.
CDR: Yes. You remember I initially starte d on the cut side of the LM that the TV camera ws_ on, th(, IL]ICI 1 t, ook IL [llJNIb¢'t' oi' llaIBj)]{,,q o[' ro(_kzl Oll surface, and ucveral that JusL LiuL)_LII'I'i_C_ weru -- about 20 - 15 to 20 feet north of the t/q. And then I recalled that that area had been probably swept pretty well by the exhaust of the descent engine, so I crossed over to the southern side of the IR, and took a number of samples from the area around the elongate double crater that we commented on, and several beyond that, and tried to take as many different types - of rock types as I could see by eye - as I could in the short time we had available. There were a number of other samples that I had seen earlier in our stroll around the IR that I had hoped to get back and pick up and put in the documented sam- ple, but I didn't get those, and I'11 be able to comment in detail when we get in the debriefing session.
UNKNOWN: Did you observe any small craters with conspicuously blocky rims? Over.
CDR: Well, aside from the one big one that we went area. over, I guess there were none in our I took a stroll back after putting up the EASEP, and while Buzz was starting to unpack the docu- mented samples - took a stroll back to a crater behind us that was maybe 70 or 80 feet ill diam- eter and 15 or 20 feet deep, and took solae pic- tures of it. It had rocks in the bottom of pretty good size, considerably bigger than any that were out on the surface, but there was no - we apparently, at 15 feet or so, had not gotten below the regolith. We were essentially showing no bedrock, at least in the walls of the crater at that depth. Over.
CC: Okay. Thank you, Nell. That about wraps up the questions we have on hand for now.
CDR: MY compliments to the chef. The food is out- standing. This cream of chicken soup I give at least three spoons.
CC: Okay. Cream of chicken, three spoons. l",g_' ', V[
CC: Apo/Jo LJ, Lh[,q i:; Jlou:;Lon. t)vor.
CMP: 6o ahead.
CC: 11, we concur that having VERB 16, NOUE 20 up on the DSKY may well have had some effect on your PTC initiation. It looks llke this would give - let the computer work with a knowledge of the actual CDU angles. What we'd like you to do is do a CDU zero which is VERB 40, NOUN 20, ENTER, and then start the PTC procedure again at step 2 with loading VERB 6, NOUN 22, desired attitude in the AUTO maneuver, and all that. Over.
CMP: Okay. The only thing I don't understand about that is why it took off at the rate it did. What under rate should it have taken off at that theory?
CC: Stand by a minute, Mike.
CC: 11, CMP, this is Houston. Over.
CC: Mike, over here on page 9-7 of your checklist where we're setting up PTC, there's been a note penciled in after, "Wait 20 minutes for rate to damp. Do not monitor VERB 16, NOUN 20." It turns out that the significance of that is that, if you are monitoring 16 NOUN 20, then when you get down here in step 7, the second time you do a VERB 24, you've got to reload the NOUN 01 to make it VERB 24, NOUN 01, ENTER, before you load the three registers. Over.
CMP: Roger, that. I was just questioning the rate at which the maneuver would begin if that were not done.
CC: Roger. We're still working on cc_putillg the rate for you.

CMP: So what's new?
CC: Oh, we were wondering what was new with you up there.
CMP: It's all very quiet. We're just sitting here letting the thruster firing damp down. When they get good enough, let us know, and we'11 start this PTC.
CMP: Nice to sit here and watch the Earth g_tting and Moon smaller larger and larger the and smaller.

CC: Go atlead, 11.
CMP: Roger. I was just checking the radios, and how is the thruster activity coming?
CC: 11, Houston. The radios are still in good shape, and we are still waiting for your rates to decay. We've got 0.03 degrees per second _n pitch now.

CC: Okay, 11. We are about ready to start PI'C. I would like to give you some high-gain-antenna angles, though. We'd like to operate in the REACQ mode, and do you plan on spinning um in the positive or negative direction? 0v_ _.
CMP: We can do it either way. I had planned the positive.
CC: Okay. For positive, the high-gain-antenna setting should be pitch plus 30, yaw 270, and in REACQ. Over.
CMP: Understand. REACQ, pitch plus 30, yaw 270. Thank you.

CC: Roger. We'd like to have you to put it in REACQ, and monitor. In about 2 minutes, we'11 be coming up on the high gain. Would you monitor the REACQ? If it doesn't take, acquire manually. Over.
LMP: Okay. Say again the angles you'd like.
CC: We'11 - we'11 try to switch it ourselves. Stand by on the angles.
CC: Buzz, it's pitch plus 30, yaw 270. Over.
LMP: Roger. I've got them.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Would you Dlease terminate battery charge now? Over.
UNKNOWN: Roger. Terminating battery charge.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Any special attitude you'd like us to look at for the TV? Over.
CMP: I don't guess we have a requirement there, Charlie.
CC: Roger. We have an attitude that we can get the Earth out of a window or the Moon. We're trying to look at - find one that we can get both, if that's what you'd like. Over.
CMP: A 50-degree roll attitude will probably give us that, Joe.
LMP: That's a good one because it puts the Earth out window 1 and the Moon out window 3 and puts the Sun down in the LEB, so the lighting in here remains relatively constant.
CC: Roger. Well, we'11 just stop on the 50 roll, then, and we'11 give you the word when to do that. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We'11 ha_e high-g_in cover- age about 155 30. At that time, you can t_tr_ on the TV if you desire, and continue i;ol_rr_ .i- around until you get 50 degrees roll. Ow_r.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We were going to live you the Ail Star game tonight, but it was rained out. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. We're on the high gain. Y)u can warm up the SM now if you like. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We see you coming up on 50 roll. How does that attitude look? Over.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We're ready for the TV; we're all configured. At your convenience. Over.
CC: Roger. Go ahead, 11. Over.
CDR: Are you picking up our TV signals?
CC: That's affirmative. We have it up on _he Eidephor now. The focus is a little bit out. We see the Earth in the center of the screen. Still have a little white dot in the bottom of the camera, apparently. And see some land- masses in the center, at least I guess that's what it is. It's very hazy at this time on our Eidephor. Over. change
CC: Let me - -
CMP: Believe that's where we just came from.
CC: It is, huh? Well, I'm really looking at the bad - at a bad screen here. Stand by one. Hey, you're right.
CMP: It's not bad enough not finding the r ght landing spot --
CC: ... screen now.
CMP: It's not bad enough not finding the r_ght lar_d- ing spot when you haven't even got the right planet !
CC: I'11 never live that one down.
CMP: We're making it get smaller and smaller here to make sure that it really is the one w_'re leaving.
CC: Ail right. That's enough you guys.
CC: 11, that was a good picture there.
CDR: Okay. That's enough of the Moon.
CDR: Okay. That's enough of the Moon, Charlie. We're getting set up now for some inside pictures.
CDR: We know there's a lot of scientists from a num- her of countries standing by to see the lunar you'd samples, and we thought be interested to see them as they really are here. These two boxes are the sample return container_'_. They - They're vacuum-packed containers that were closed in a vacuum on the lunar surface, sea]ed, and then brought inside the LM and put inside these fiber-glass bags, zippered, and resea},ed around the outside, and placed in these rece]_tacles in the side of the command module. Thes_ are the two boxes. And as soon as we get onto the ship, I'm sure these boxes will immediately be t_'ans- ferred and delivery started to the Lunar I eceiv- ing Laboratory. These boxes include the samples of the various types of rock, the groundmass of the soil, the sand and silt, and the particle collector for the solar wind experiment, and the core tubes that took depth samples of the lunar surface.
CC: Roger, Neil. Thank you much for that description. We've got a pretty dark picture down here. Could you check your f-stop? We'd like to have it - See if you can open it up a little bit. Over.
LMP: Okay. Our monitor showed that to be very bright.
CDR: ... We're down around between, w_Iz a?ound f:11, which we thought would be plenty light. Wel! , we'11 lighten it up some more.
CC: Well, we'd appreciate it. It's pretty dark on all our monitors here.
CC: It's looking a lot better now, Nell.
CC: There's Buzz.
CC: 11, Houston. We have an excellent picture now. Over.
LMP: Okay. How do you read me, Charlie?
CC: Five-by now, Buzz. Over.
LMP: Okay. The more mundane affairs, now that we've left the Moon, I'd like to trace through them a little bit for you *** developments that have taken place in the food department. I'm sure you've already *** type of a drink container. A little later, Mike will show you hew the wats' gun operates with its new filter to t_ke out the hydrogen.

Likewise, we have other foods that are more solid nature. You can probably see this shrimp cocktail meal. *** this afternoon while the two of us had salmon salad. *** another early development was the use of bite-size food ***
CC: 11, Houston. Buzz, you're breaking up badly. Will you check your VOX? Over.
LMP: Roger. How am I coming through now, Charlie?
CC: Roger. You're very clear when you come through. It's just that your VOX is not keying at every word. Over.
CC: Okay. These bite-sized objects were design _ to remove the problem of having so ma,_y cl tm floating around in the cabin, so t?cy desig_ a particular size that would be able to g_ : the mouth all at once. I think since .mit oY our experience, we've discovered that we co__ progress a good bit further than that back some of the type meals that we have ol_ Earth As a matter of fact, on this flight we've car- ried along pieces of bread, and along wit]i the bread we have a ham spread; and I'11 show you, I hope, how easy it is to spread some ham while I'm in zero g.
LMP: I think we've discovered that it is quite easy to *** you're all very familiar with.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We notice your roll rate increasing. Will you please see if y( L_can bring that down to about 04 or we'11 be losing high gain shortly. Over.
LMP: You can also use zero gravity to demonstrate many things that we've all learned in school. I'd like to demonstrate briefly how easy it is to explain the action of the gyroscope. If I spin this can, we know that according to the equations of motion that we would expect that once this is given a spin, and has a spin axis in this direction, if we give it a particular torque, and I'11 do this by pushing my hands against it in this fashion once it's spinning. By the equations we can predict that, _s I put this torque on it, it will in fact rotate this direction. Let's see how well this wo_ks out. Pa_;e 5117
LMP: See that as I apply the torque this way, it's rotated this way.
CMP: Too close, I think.
CC: 11, Houston. It's a pretty good demonstration.
CMP: Houston, this next is a little demons':ration for the kids at home, all kids everywhere, for that matter. I was going to show you how you drink water out of a spoon, but I'm afraid I filled the spoon too full and if I'm :lot care- ful, I'm going to spill water right o-zer the sides. Can you see the water sloppin_ around on the top of the spoon, kids?
CMP: Okay. Well, as I said, I was going t_ show you but I'm afraid I filled it too fu 1 and it's going to spill over the sides. I'11 -;ell yc what. I'11 just turn this one over and get rid of the water and start all over again. Okay?
CMP: And you can see, up here we don't kno_ where over is. One up is as good as anothe'. That really is water, though. I'11 show you.
CMP: That's really not the way we drink. We really have a %rater gun which I'11 show you.
CMP: Here's the water gun. This cylindrical thii_g on the end of it is a filter with several mem- branes: one allows water to pass, but not any gas; the other allows gas to pass, but not any water. So, by routing the gaseous _v_ter which comes from our tank through this fill.er, we're enabled to drink purified water without the gas in it, filtered water. And, of course, all we do to - to get it started is just pull the trigger.
CMP: It's sort of messy. I haven't been a. this very long. It's sort of the same system tllat the Spaniards used to drink out of wineskins at bull fights, only I think this is even more fun. Well, be seeing you, kids.
CC: Thank you from all us kids in the world, here in the MOCR, who can't tell the Earth from the Moon.
CMP: Roger. Stand by one, and we'11 get you that Earth one.
CC: Looks like you need a wine skin up there, Mike.
CMP: That_d be nice.
CC: 11, Houston - -
CMP: You have a picture now, Houston?
CC: That's affirmative. I refuse to bite o_ this one, though. You tell us.
CDR: Okay. This should be getting larger, smd if it is, it's the place we're coming 1 ome to.
CDR: No matter where you travel, it's always nice to get home.
CC: We concur, 11. We'11 be happy to have you baa!_.
CDR: This is Apollo 11. Signing off.
CC: Roger. Thank you very much, 11. _lat wis a good demonstration and a good show. We appre- ciate it very much.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We were curious to see if there was any excess moisture up around the tunnel hatch area as we saw on 10. Over.
CMP: It just so happens that's what we were taJ_king about now. There is a little bit of dampnes around the outside edge of the hatch, Out a very, very slight amount. We've got a hose up there that we're hoping will sort of help keep it a little bit dry.
CC: Roger, Mike. Thank you much. Have you seen any more water collecting on the aft bulkhead? Over.
CMP: No, we haven't, as a matter of fact. It's been dry in that area since we got rid of that last time_
CMP: Apollo 11 is back in PTC attitude. Standing by for thruster quieting.
CC: Roger. We see that. Thank you much, Mik_.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Could you get a ];_ · summary of the evening news for _r _
CC: Yes, sir. We'11 have it for you momentarily. Also, a little flight plan update, Mike. If you - On page 3-113, you can delete the 0 fuel cell purge. Over.
CC: There is a flurry of activity in the PAO s_ for the evening news.
CMP: Bully.
CMP: How's the weather down there? You got any rain?
CC: Roger. We've been having a little bit, thunderstorm-type, the last couple of days. We had a pretty good rain today, smd it's been overcast. A slow storm system's been moving through the area in the last couple c _' days, and primarily evening and a_ernoon th_idershowers.
CMP: Roger. We were watching a few clouds in your area through the monocular along the Texas Gulf Coast this afternoon, and we also noticed there were clouds over Baja California, wl,_ch is a little bit unusual.
CC: Roger. Thank you for the weather report. We can't quite see that far. It see_; to have cleared up outside now, according to some of the people coming in. This constant over- cast in the MOCR here is a little hard to see outs ide.
LMP: Yes. We also noticed it was a little overcast down over - in the Antarctic ice cap, too.
CC: Roger. It's apparently raining pretty hard up - -
CMP: How's that for one-upsmanship?
CC: Yes. (Laughter).
CDR: He may know that, but he doesn't even know whether his grass is wet or dry.
CC: It's apparently raining fairly hard up in Washington where the All Star game _as to be played tonight. They started out, [ understand, and then it was rained out and they called it off.
CMP: ?ney need a roof on their sbadiuml so they can catch all those flys.
CMP: In the rain.
CC: Touche.
LMP: Hey, Cza: Lie, whai's the pre!f.minar_y outlook for _he weather i_ our recovery are%?

It's going northwest and dissipating. And there's one called Viola, which is out over Guam, and so they aren't any factor at all. It looks like it's going to be real nice for recevery.
CC: Navy called up those special calm seas for you guys from up there on the Hudson.
CC: Well, we might need it. We'11 get a look at it tc_orrow, I guess, though. We'11 probably be giving it a pretty close eye.
CC: Roger. you could fill us in on any non-nominal stow- age that we have on board. Just location and weight is about all they're interested in. Over. you know, Charlie.
CC: Thaz_ you, sir.
UNKNOWN: 11, Houston. Would you please place 02 tank 1 heater to AUTO? Over.
UNKNOWN: it is. _d reconfigure our stowage as closely as pos- sible to nomiiJal. Some things that will not be nominal are as follows: the EVA visors were brought b_ck into the command module, and we have not yet found a home for them. We'11 let you know where they go. In addition, there's about 5 pounds of miscellaneous weight from the _ in compartment Able-8, and it's taking the place of the LCGts which we moved from A-8 into the suit bag. We got rid of one miscel- laneous trash bag, mostly old food wrapping and also old underwear and that helmet pro- tective visor of the CMP's. We left all that with Eagle. And those are about the only off-nominals we have.
CC: Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Out.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We got the rates looking copacetic. You can go ahead and initiate PTC. Over.
CC: And Buzz, we're still not getting any data from your EKG. It looks like the only way that we're going to be able to get any is if, at your convenience, you would take your - chsnge out your EKG leads, which are the center ones that are connected to the blue pin; and there's a spare one in the medical box. Over.
UNKNOWN: Roger. How many did you want me to change?
CC: Just the center one. I'11 get the right nomen- clature from the Doc. Stand by. It's called the sternal EKG, which are the three center ones_ and it's got - they lead into a - into the blue-stringed lead ones. Over. T;q_,?]01/1. Ib_e 5'u_
CMP: Okay. There's three of them, is that right?
LMP: And you want me to change all three.
CC: That's affirmative and they're all hooked together from the picture I'm looking at, and they go into the center belt, signal conditioner, and it's got the blue strain relief on it.
LMP: Yes. I checked the connectors at both ends on that. I don't guess we have a spare signal con- ditioner or anything like that, do we?
CC: No. We do not.
UNKNOWN: Well, I can show you my heart's still working.
CC: We believe it.
LMP: _arlie, what we suggest here is, before we start that, turn our two suit powers off and plug his blue lead into my blue signal condi- tioner and see if we can get his signal through my signal conditioner. Okay?
CC: Roger. That's a good suggestion, Neil. We concur. Over.
LMP: Okay, Charlie. We're transmitting, and let's see if you get any EKG signal on the CDR at this point.
CC: Roger, _,tand by.
CC: 11, :_!o,_ston.We get some data, but it's got the s_ne problem thai; we had through Buzz's signal conditioner, so apparently the lead is broke_ and we'd like you to change it out if you c ,ul_ TM. Over.
CC: Ta_nk yo_.
LMP: Hou_ I _n_ Apollo ]t.
CC: Go a_e_ si_'.
LMP: Roger. I think the problem was that the center lead had dried out .... put the new one on, and I'11 see how that works. Over.
LMP: I can't tell you how good it feels to get it off.
CC: Yes. I can imagine.
LMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Houston, Apollo 11.
LMP: Roger. How do you read my EKG now?
CC: Stand by. We'11 let the docs look at it. Buzz, we're on low bit rate. We'11 get you on a high gain momentarily, and we'11 let you know then. Over.
LMP: Okay. I got my high gain antenna coming out.
CC: Roger. Just leave on REACQ. We'11 get you.
CC: Apollo 1!, Houston. Buzz, your EKG looks good now. The doc said thanks a lot.
LMP: Okay. They're welcome.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Based on our sighting since the midcourse, we're showing a g_mma of minus 6.57. This is preliminary, though, and we think that after some more tracking it should como on in, and we could tweak it right on into the corridor. It's just about in the center of th_ corridor; everything's looking fine. We'11 have you an entry PAD in a couple of hours before you go to sleep. And from our friends in _ublic affairs, a few headlines, other than your flight. You're still dominating the news. Hc ever, there are some other things of interest f _ ou. As mentioned earlier, the Ail Star g_ae was rained out. It's going to be played tomorrow. However, President Nixon will not be aole to see it as he planned. We'11 keep you posted on results. And, also, the weathermen are going to be good to you. Our forecast is, iooks like it's holding good for the recovery area; it should be real fine out there. Presi- den!, Nixon, as he prepares to fly out to greet your returrl, predicted that within 31 years man will have visited at least one other planet bearing some form of life. "In the year 2000, we, on this Earth, will have visited new worlds where there will be a form of life," he told 2000 foreign exchange students at the White House. Before he left for his week-long trip, the President sent Congress his proposal for organ- izing - reorganizing the Interstate Commerce Commission. He also conferred with chairman Earl Wheeler of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on his return from Viet Nam, and the launch of Intelstat was scrubbed and has been rescheduled for 10 p.m., eastern daylight time on Wednes- day. The second stage fuel ground support sys- tem showed some contamination.
CC: And back in Washington, the House Ways and Means Committee agreed to tax changes affecting oil companies, banks, and utilities that could add nearly 2 billion a year to federal revenue. And, also today, NASA announced it will launch a large orbital workshop in 1972, with a cutdown version of the Saturn V. And, your television pictures attracted a lot of interest. They were shown live throughout just about the whole world, and, we're expecting hundreds of tele- phone calls from mothers all over the world complaining that their youngsters are trying thanks to drink milk from spoons, to you, Mike.
CMP: I take it all back.
CC: You need more practice. the surgeon right out of his chair. We see you exerc_ sing. Over.
CC: We see you exercising. Is that correct, Buzz?
CDR: Yes, that's right. Buzz is.
CC: Roger. We've got his heartbeat way up.
CDR: Right. He's sort of out of shape.
CC: Yes. That's what we thought.
CMP: White Team's really got a busy one tonight, huh, Charlie?
CC: Say again, Mike. Over.
CMP: Say the old White Team's really got a busy one tonight, huh?
CC: Oh, boy. We're really booming along here with all this activity. Can barely believe it.
CMP: What are you doing? Sitting around with your feet up on the console drinking coffee?
CC: (Laughter) You must have your X-ray eyes up. You sure can see a long way.
CMP: Yes. We're watching you as well, you know.
CC: All right. z
CMP: Two people in the viewing room and that's more than is in the trench.
CC: We've got eight in the viewing room, and let's see, about six in the trench right now. And this is the highlight of the day; Buzz's exercise for the surgeon.
CC: 11, you copy? Over.
CDR: Roger. 11.
CC: Roger. Neil has the highest heartbeat ever seen on a m,nned space flight, and we Just went low bit rate. The surgeon is about to die. (Laughter)
CDR: I measured it up here. It came out to be 247.
CC: Boy, that's super.
CMP: The unit's on that furlong per fortnight.
CC: Roger. We copy that. EECOMM says if you keep that up, you're going to have to change your C02 canister. ,.ake
CMP: You were going to me do that in another 45 minutes anyway_
CC: That's true. iook-
CMP: That's the highlight of my day. I 'm really lng forward to that.
UNKNOWN: "Music Out of the Moan")
CC: Thank you, 11. We appreciate you turning that o ff. (Laught er )
CDR: Charlie, could you copy our music down there?
CC: Did we-coPy what, Neil?
CDR: Did you copy our music down there?
CC: Roger. We sure did. We're wondering who select- ed - made your selections?
CDR: That's an old favorite of mine, about - It's an album made about 20 years ago, called "Music Out of the Moon."
CC: Roger. It sounded a little scratchy to us, Nell. Either that or your tape Was a little slow.
CDR: It's supposed to sound that way.
CC: That's one of those - -
CMP: - - it sounds a little scratchy to us too, but the czar likes it.
CC: That's what we figured. He and his 40 000 votes.
CC: For your info, we got you - It looks like about 150 000 out now.
MS: ... i
CMP: It's getting appreciably larger now. It's look- lng more like the world.
CC: Roger. I'm looking at the right side of the screen this time.
CMP: How's everything going on the - Say again, Charlie?
CC: Oh, Just - I -I'l I never hear th e last of that Earth/Moon one about that business during the TV there, and I was Just saying that I was looking at the right side of the board here, so you are going towards the Earth. What are - What were you going to say, M/ke? fun
CMP: You'11 have - YoU'11 have at the press con- ference after this shift then, won't you?
CC: It's 2:30. Everybody will be asleep. I going to sneak off through the back way.
CMP: Okay. I was Just wondering how everything is going at the home front. All the wives and kids in one piece?
