CDR-EVA: You want me to put a bag in front cf that thing?
CC: No, I don't think - -
CDR-EVA: Want me to put a bag in front of it in case it pops open again? I guess it won't.
CC: No, I don't think so. I can't imagine why it's really a problem anyway, because we got the BYPASS, ON there, and that heat's not going anywhe re.
LMP-EVA: Okay; now the switch is off_ except my 15 volts. Bob, you want me away from the ALSEP now?
CDR-EVA: Yes, I got a cameras over there. I'm going to look under the seats one more time. Nothing but a 500 - Okay. Used tape.
CC: Okay. Jack, we're ready to leave the ALSEP.
LMP-EVA: Well, I hate to do that, Bob. I'm sorry about this gravimeter, though.
CC: Well, you're not the only one. The word is down here there's a whole room full of people who are sorry.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I got the LMP's camera. Nothing in here but couple of old bags. We used about all the bags we had, Jack. Not many here. Bob, I have the dust brush tethered.
CC: Copy the dust brush.
CC: Okay. And, Geno, some people down here are con- cerned about whether you've opened the battery covers or not.
CDR-EVA: Yes, sir; they're open.
CDR-EVA: Oh, what a nice little machine. Parked on a little downslope, but at the heading you want, and I guess Ed's satisfied with the TV response, huh?
CC: Roger. We're satisfied with the TV, Gene. We're ready for you to take the EP number 3.
CDR-EVA: Good old Mother Earth is right smack in the center.
CDR-EVA: Bob, while we've got a quite moment here, as I go to de - deploy that EP charge, I'd Just like to say that any part of Apollo 17, or any part of Apollo, that has been a success thus far is prob- ably, for the most part, due to the thousands of people in the aerospace industry who have given a great deal, besides dedication and besides effort and besides professionalism, to make it all a reality. And I would just like to thank them, because what we've done here and what has been done in the past - As a matter of fact, what has been done for 200 years, you've got to contribute to the spirit of a group of people who form the aerospace industry. And I God bless you and thank you.
CC: Roger, Gene. And we thank you guys.
CDR-EVA: Well, we're just two little - two little sets of twinkletoes here. There's a lot that goes to getting this Rover running out here that we don't have much to do with. And I guess there might be someone else that has something to do with it too, and I've been reading his signs, maybe not from Him directly, but His in spirit, as we run up and down that ladder. And that's Godspeed, the crew of Apollo 17. And if He's listening, I'd like to thank Him, too. Pin i is pulled.
CDR-EVA: I meant the end of the west SEP an';enna. Do you agree with that?
CC: Roger. Exactly right.
CC: Copy that, and - -
CDR-EVA: Don't know what I would do if it wasn't. (Laughter)
CC: - - and now, also, do you have the SEP transmitter turned off there, Gene?
CDR-EVA: No, sir. Thank you. Okay. Bob, - -
CC: Then we're ready for you guys to get back to the LM and dust it.
CDR-EVA: - - it's getting ready - it's getting right adjacent to the ring on the west etd, and I'm going to go back and turn the SEPc ff.
CC: Okay. And when that's done, Gene, we're ready for you and your dust brush to hasten back to the LM and dust each other and climb in.
CDR-EVA: You know what, Bob?
CC: What, Gene?
CDR-EVA: Great as an experience as it has been, I'd say we're probably both ready.
LMP-EVA: Oh, I don't know. Hey, Bob, 55 Yankee is an exotic-looking rock I found about 5 meters south cf the neutron flux hole. It's another gray - possibly gray basalt. It's just that there aren't many of them around here, and so I picked it up.
LMP-EVA: Cheating a little again.
CDR-EVA: Jack, you'11 always be picking rocks. _MP-EYA Oh, I don't know.
CC: MARK that.
CDR-EVA: I don't blame you. There's so many interesting things around here.
LMP-EVA: Just don't lose your brush, Gene.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Bob, according to my inventory I'm going to return to the LM and the camera is going to ETB.
CC: That's affirm. We'11 have - -
CDR-EVA: ... we're done with the TGE.
CDR-EVA: Jack, come to think of it, I - come to think of it, I guess you are, aren't you. Where are you, Jack?
LMP-EVA: I'm at the MESA.
LMP-EVA: Trying to snap a snap.
CDR-EVA: I need a locater here to the LM.
CC: Okay; and, 17, we need you guys in the LM in 15 minutes, 15 minutes because of oxygen constraints.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Bob, my pictures are taken; I'm on the way. Oh, Boy, where else can you do this?
CDR-EVA: If I had landed 30 meters back, Jack, we'd be pitched down 5 degrees.
CDR-EVA: Okay, what they're saying is, I don't need my hammer any more.
CDR-EVA: ... dust and get in.
CC: We want you to dust and get in. We got 14 minutes remaining before we need the hatch closed.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Bob. We'11 - we're doing our best. Well, that RTV worked on the hammer, but look at it, Jack. It's worn completely to a nub. It's off.
LMP-EVA: I guess that's all right - Look at - Here - my - I don't know where I am. Oh, boy, how about that? Okay.
CDR-EVA: Okay, sir, you ready to go on up?
LMP-EVA: Well, I don't know. Got to take my camera off. I got another batch of pictures - the LM and the flag and- -
LMP-EVA: Stereo, even.
LMP-EVA: Let me have your camera. Go ahead. Oh, there ... there. Let me throw the hammer.
LMP-EVA: Let me throw the hammer, please.
LMP-EVA: You got the gra¥imeter --
CDR-EVA: you deserve it. A h_mer thrower - you're a geologist. You ought to be able to throw it.
LMP-EVA: You ready for this? Ready for this?
CDR-EVA: Yes. Don't hit the LM or the ALSEP. T_MP-EVA Look at that! Look at that! Look at that! Beautiful.
CDR-EVA: Looked like it was going a million miles, but it really didn't.
LMP-EVA: Didn't it?
CDR-EVA: Okay, here, this is an ETB.
CDR-EVA: Okay. And then start on up. We got to get going here. LM°-EVA Yes. Unfortunately, their little plan didn't count for the fact that it's hard to pack the ETB with the film magazines in it.
CDR-EVA: Yes, that's going to be - oh, is it heavy. Is it heavy. Something in that core tube you put in there ?
LMP-EVA: Yes, sir. Don't tell anybody, though, because they'11 get mad at me.
CDR-EVA: Oh, man, is that heavy. Holy smoley. Oh: LMi°-EVA ... 252. That's about three-quarters of a core - hand pushed - half a meter inside the plus-Y footpad.
CC: Okay; copy that. CDR-EV& Okay, Jack, how's that ETB coming so you can get going? T-_MP-EVA Fine.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I've got to - - IMP-EVA I've got to put it on a strap, though.
CDR-EVA: I can get that. You can - This is all cinched up. I think it'11 hold. Why don't you start on up? Then I'11 start dusting you.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Very good.
LMP-EVA: An_hing fall out?
LMP-EVA: Okay. Oh - -
CDR-EVA: Let me dust you. Set that down, ard I'11 hand it all to you.
LMP-EVA: Okay, you'11 have to hand stuff in - -
CC: Okay; and, 17, we - a reminder, we need you inside in i0 minutes.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Bob ....
LMP-EVA: I'11 do a lot of jumping up here in a minute.
CDR-EVA: Your back is clean.
LMP-EVA: I'11 get the legs as best I can.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Why don't you get me here before you do that?
LMP-EVA: Okay. And while I 'm doing that, will you take this - I'11 get it.
CDR-EVA: Okay. _MP-EVA Boy, you got dirty today. I think we're just going to have to live with it.
CDR-EVA: Get my top. I can kick a lot of that stuff off my legs. How do I look in back? I_MP-EVA Terrible. Okay, turn.
LMP-EVA: Oh, man. You're going to have to - Your legs are really filthy. Not much I can do about it.
CC: And don't forget your PLSS an -
CDR-EVA: Do what?
LMP-EVA: PLSS antennas.
LMP-EVA: Although it doesn't make much difference anylaore. That's to get them out of the way.
LMP-EVA: I don't know how we can get that in.
CDR-EVA: That velcro won't hold.
LMP-EVA: - -but it can be closed.
CDR-EVA: I had it over - over the top. The latch was closed, but -
LMP-EVA: Oh, it won't hold with all that weight in there. Okay, I got your antenna.
CDR-EVA: Okay, let me get a high - Got to c]ose this. You don't want that in your way.
CDR-EVA: Oh, okay. L_-EVA You might try.
CDR-EVA: Get all your flaps? Okay, hold your head down.
CDR-EVA: Yow.
LMP-EVA: Won't go, huh?
CDR-EVA: No. Will that bother you getting in?
LMP-EVA: I can probably make it.
CDR-EVA: Okay, get on up.
LMP-EVA: Oops, try that again. Okay, why don't you hand me the neutron flux, and I'11 put it - -
CDR-EVA: Okay, neutron flux.
LMP-EVA: - - on the platform? Okay.
CDR-EVA: Why don't you start in, and I'11 get some of these bags out of the way.
LMP-EVA: Well, I Just - You don't want to haad them to me up here?
CC: And, Jack, for your thoughts, we've agreed that you can delete the tracking light. We'd like to get you guys in as soon as possible - 7 minutes now. And we'11 delete the tracking light test.
LMP-EVA: Okay, that's all I can handle up here. One more - one more and I can put it up here.
CDR-EVA: Watch the cover on this one. Got it?
CDR-EVA: Stand it up because the cover won't hack it.
CDR-EVA: Okay. If you get on in, I'11 come up to the porch.
CC: I think we aren't going to have one of those tomorrow, Jack, so we did away with that. We hope we're not going to have one of those tomorrow.
CDR-EVA: Bob, we're maximizing our efforts, so just bear with us. Jack's going to be in about 30 seconds, and I'm on the ladder hauling some stuff up now.
CC: Roger. Don't panic.
CC: I never panic there, guys.
LMP-EVA: Got some stuff for me?
CDR-EVA: Yes, sir. This is not the time to rush. It's the time to do it nice and slow and right.
LMP-EVA: Oh, we're all right.
CDR-EVA: Okay. You're not going to like this, but I'm going to give you this one first because I've got it in my hand.
LMP-EVA: Either one. Oh, hang in there - I've got it. Yes, that's a heavy bag.
CDR-EVA: That is heavy, babe. Let me tell you, that's heavy.
LMP-EVA: Okay, next.
CDR-EVA: Can you reach that one? If not, I '11 shove it in further.
LMP-EVA: Ok ay.
LMP-EVA: Okay, next. Tape ll2B/1 APOLLO 17 AIR-TO-GROUND TRANSCRIPTION

CMP: (Hl_w,_i ng)
CC: - - It's timed out exactly right. Do you have the intervalometer running on something?
CC: We can't either. Because we hear - -
CMP: It times it every 20 seconds, huh?
CC: Roger. Tommy Just timed it out; every 20 seconds exactly.
CMP: I got both valometer - intervalometers stuck to the wall over here. They're not hooked to any- thing.
CC: Well, I hope - -
CMP: That's funny, because I don't hear tha_.
CMP: (Laughter) I would be curious as to wha% - see what that is. I don't even have this tape re- corder going now. 112B/3 Tape
CC: Roger. Understand. We went around the room, Ron. And everything is in great shape and you're - you're GO for sleep or whatever you want to do. We won't call you.

CDR-EVA: ETB's next.
LMP-LM: You have an ETB in.
CDR-EVA: ETB has two cameras.
CC: Okay. And as you guys say farewell to the Moon, we're looking up to the Earth down here where you guys are returning pretty soon.
LMP-LM: You're going to have to push that.
CDR-EVA: Okay, let me get it. That's all right - I'11 wait until you're ready. Okay. Can you make it?
LMP-LM: Yes, I've got it. Okay, let me get that other thing in here.
CDR-EVA: Bob, this is Gene, and I'm on the surface and as I take man's last steps from the surface, back home, for some time to come, but we believe not too long into the future. I'd like to Just list what I believe history will record _hat America's challenge of today has forged man's destiny of _omorrow. And, as we leave the Moon at Taurus- Littrow, we leave as we c_me and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for ali mankind. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17.
CC: Roger, Geno. Thank you very much.
CDR-EVA: Bob, I am up on the ladder and I'n going to be going through the hatch.
LMP-LM: Gene, I've got to get out of your way.
CDR-EVA: Okay, let me - Okay, babe - here ] come.
LMP-LM: Still looks dirty. Okay, keep her down - buttoned. Come towards me a little - there you go. Okay, you've got it.
CDR-LM: Okay, I'm inside the hatch.
CDR-LM: Let me look - let me see that hatch once more.
CDR-LM: That's the last time we want to have to - open that.
LMP-LM: Caught in the same way again.
CDR-LM: Let me just - I can see down there,
LMP-LM: i can see -
CDR-LM: Does it look good to you?
LMP-LM: It's clear -
LMP-LM: There is a little bit of dust but iv's all in _he - i don't think ...
CDR-LM: If I can turn around.
LMP-LM: Yes, I've got to get out of your way.
CDR-LM: Yes, I'11 wait for you.
CDR-LM: Yes, now I can.
LMP: -LM Okay.
LMP-LM: Okay, I've got to get my hand over here. Okay, I'm out of your way.
LMP-LM: Close the hatch.
CDR-LM: Hatch is closed. Let's see if I can lock it. our
LMP-LM: Then we've got to turn H2O off. Oh, we've got to turn our - let's turn our water off first, before you lock it.
CDR-LM: Well, it's locked now. Can you get your own water? If not, I'11 get it - -
LMP-LM: Yes, I doubt it. Haven't been able to before.
CDR-LM: Okay, I'11 get it.
LMP-LM: Have you got yours?
CDR-LM: Let me see.
LMP-LM: Mine's off. No, wait a minute, I can't get it.
CDR-LM: Okay. I'11 get it for you. And - before you move any more, let me get over here out of the way.
CC: Okay. And pay attention here, 17, when you come on, we'd like you to leave PRESS _G A which is the one that's been OFF - we'd like to leave that closed. around.
CDR-LM: Turn

CDR-LM: I know, it's still sweet music.
LMP-LM: Come on, now.
CDR-LM: I have never seen so much dirt and dust in my whole life. Ever. Ron's not going to be able to see either one of these helmet visors.
LMP-LM: (Laughter) Yes he will.
CDR-LM: But they sure do get scratched, if you're not careful. Okay. Hey, it's harder getting them off ... than it is getting them on. Maximum effort. gloves are off.
CDR-LM: My gloves are off.
LMP-LM: Right there.
CDR-LM: Okay, verify safety on the dump valve ....
LMP-LM: Okay, I verify that there. Just a minute, I want to take a double look at something down there.

CDR-LM: Okay, disconnect OPS hose.
CDR-LM: That lock/lock is just tight on there, Jack.
CDR-LM: Is it off?
CDR-LM: Okay. Connect LM hoses, red to red, and blue to blue. We've got to do that this time, because we've got to dump the PLSSs. Oka_? of your way.
CDR-LM: I'11 get back in here. Okay, I'm out of the way now.
LMP-LM: How would you like to get off the PLSS water and get some spacecraft water, too? FLOW, ON; and then we'11 put PLSS pump and fan OFF. Then we'11 disconnect the PLSS water and connect spacecraft water.
LMP-LM: You might unhook that stuff up there so you can get to your hoses.
CDR-LM: I can't reach it though.
LMP-LM: Oh, okay. I can get it ...; I cs_l get it.
CDR-LM: Okay, I guess.
LMP-LM: Okay, we want red to red and blue to blue. We got to verify these two because -
CDR-LM: Yes. Bob, you still with us?

CDR-LM: Okay, the PLSS water is disconnected.
LMP-LM: I think that's mine. Yes, that's mine. Space- craft water.
CDR-LM: Okay. Mine' s connected.
LMP: How about pushing on that?
CDR-LM: Okay. Got to see it, yes - but, I want to see it first. Watch your helmet, Jack. You're going to scratch it. Got it - Yes, got it.
LMP-LM: You don't have your visor on - neither do I.
CDR-LM: Okay, connect - Okay, PLSS mode, CN. Bob, we're both going off the air. We'!l get on LM comm.
CC: Okay. We'11 be waiting for you. We're here.
CDR-LM: Okay, go "0", Jack.
LMP-LM: How about some cooling?
CDR-LM: Okay, zap me with it, and go "0", and then put your audio breaker OPEN and connect the LM comm. Then ON audio breaker CLOSED. Okay?
CDR-LM: You read me, Jack?
CDR-LM: You read me?
CDR-LM: Read me?
LMP-LM: You're loud and clear.
CDR-LM: Okay. Next thing, VHF B - wait a iminute. You get the audio breaker OPEN, CLOSED - Okay - VHF 1-1/2. squelch B LMP. Okay, noise threshold, plus

CDR-LM: Okay, mode ICS/PTT.
LMP-LM: Okay, Houston. We're back on LM con_m.
CC: Roger, 17. We copy you loud and clear on LM comm. l13A/11 Tape
CC: And 17. Jack and Gene, we have a couple of - in fact, we have three records here to read out to you guys. On Apollo 17, two of them; one, the longest single EVA, 7 hours 37 minutes and 22 seconds. The longest total lunar surface EVA time 22 hours 5 minutes and 6 seconds. And the summary, the total lunar surface EVA time for the Apollo Program, 80 hours 44 minutes and 8 seconds.
CDR-LM: That's quite a tribute to the people who made it possible. Thank you, Bob.
CC: Roger, Geno. And I can't speak as authoritatively as some people have tonight, but for all of us around me, I'11 say thank you, also.
CDR-LM: Your words are well taken. You know how I feel.
CC: Hey, Gene and Ron, this is the CSM CAPCOM. Thought you might be interested. Your buddie up on - above you there is chugging on and about ready to bed down himself, right now. And he did take a good look at the landing site through binoculars tonight and took a good look at Shorty crater there, and noticed quite a lot of varia- tions in color. That may be the same color changes you saw in that orange soil and that, but we're trying to match it all up. And Farouk and Ron are working it out. We're trying to match it all up and see if we can get a comparison there.
CC: Yes, he's counting on it.
CDR-LM: How's America looking to you, Bob?
CC: Well, I'11 give an update. It - it's working p_rfect. No problems at all and we got good SIM bay data on everything. The b_, vhe IR, the lunar sounder, and everything that we - every data poinv we cmn see is just great, it's - it's just hardly any anomalies at ail. Everything is just wonderful.
CC: Gene, about this total limit of any problem there is, and it's not a problem, is we're just having to stir those H2 tanks manually because of that limiting cycle on the pressure switch there. We could go back to auto but it's easier to go manual.
CDR-LM: I'11 be back up there tomorrow and I'11 stir them for you.
CC: Roger. And Jack and Gene, let me make a node here for you guys. There will be a series of references to this throughout the checklist but there's a general thing and you might even put a piece of tape across it if you want to or some- thing - rather than go through and call out all the locations. We'11 leave PRESS REG A closed for the rest of the time. Might just keep that in mind.
LMP-LM: Okay, Bob, we'11 - I think we'11 handle that one okay.
CC: Gene, there's one thing you may be interested in as - as the Commander. We're going to have to do two burns tomorrow on America. The - the orbit - the mascons didn't deteriorate the orbit as much as everybody thought it was so there's going to be an RCS burn about an hour prior to the - to the LOPC burn.
CDR-LM: That's interesting, Bob. Are you going to do a DOI 3, huh?
CC: Well, yes, I guess that's what it'11 be - it's going to be an RCS burn at about L1 foot per second. It'11 drop the - it'11 clrculize the orbit and then we'11 do the plane change burn.
CC: Okay, and 17, we'd like you to press on reasonably diligently tonight. You're just abou_ on schedule but if we can turn off this Marine, we'd ii_e you guys to press on. We're looking ay a nominal 113A/13 Tape launch time and we've used up, of course, all the MCC-H conference but we think you're within a few minutes of being right on. If you can press on like you did last night we'11 be in great shape.
CDR-LM: Okay, Bob. I never stopped doing what I wanted to do anyway even though a Marine was talking.
LMP-LM: Okay, CDR's OPS 6100; LMP, 6500. Okay, Houston this is the LMP. LMP's OPS is regulating at 4.25.
LMP-LM: And the CDR's is 3.9 - 3.9.
CC: Okay that.
LMP-LM: That might be - I started - let me bring it off and let me see where it regulates at next time. I didn't have my hose locked, Bob, and it came off the first try. Bob, we'11 take another OPS check later on when we stow them. We're pressing on.
CC: Jack, they're saying we better do that before you ... the PLSSs because we have to verify a good one before you - before you dump the PLSSs.
LMP-LM: Okay, we'11 do that.
LMP-LM: Okay, Houston, we rechecked the LMP's OPS and it's regulating at 4.25, again.
CC: is that a steady 4.25, Jack?
CMP-LM: Yes, it's done that twice now.
CC: Okay, and it's steady once you do it, Jack, right? about a minute, now.
CC: Okay, we'11 go with it then, Jack.
LMP-LM: Okay, Bob, we're going to start the weighing process here - -
CC: Okay we're ready to copy - -
LMP-LM: - - It might take a couple minutes to get things squared away.
CC: Okay give us a call. We're ready _o copy the weights.
LMP-LM: Bob, sample 15 Echo has a bunch of dust and that gradually accumulated in my pocket.
CC: No fair, Jack, you can't go collecting samples after the EVA's over.
LMP-LM: Say - say Bob, right now I can't f_nd the sample containment bag number 5. Number 5 collection bag will be in bag 3.
CC: Okay, we note that. Thank you. Very good.
LMP-LM: Okay, and we're going to cross out 3 on the bag, and put a 5 on it.
CC: Okay, I think we could keep track of it other- wise; but that's fine.
LMP-LM: That's for our reference too.
CDR-LM: Okay, Bob, you ready?
CDR-LM: Okay, bag 7 is 32, bag 4 is 31.5, bag 5 is 21, the big bag is 71, the ISA is 22.
CC: Okay, we have those five weights there, Geno. We have 32 for number 7, 31.5 for n_mber k 21 for nunber 5, 71 for the SR - the big bag, and 22 for vhe ISA.
LMP-LM: That's affirm, and we're standing by for your GO for jettison.
CC: Okay 17. Challenger, we are ready for jettison.
CC: Okay and 17, we'd like - -
CC: - - loud and clear, 17. And Challenger, we'd like to keep out the original BSLSS bag, the one that you launched with. We - we think we're going to need that to stow samples in.
CDR-LM: Okay, it's out.
CC: Okay. Or - or it's in, we hope.
CDR-LM: RECORDER, ON.
LMP-LM: Whichever way.
CC: We want it kept in the cabin, right.
CDR-LM: RECORDER's, ON.
CDR-LM: Okay, don EV gloves. Let me - -
LMP-LM: Okay, the reeorder's not giving us any recording though.
CDR-LM: See if I can't get a little ... ouZ of some of these things. Don your gloves, Jack. You're -
CDR-LM: Are we out of tape? I might have le_ it on. Z probably did if i_'s on now. I thought I read it in the checklist though. Don Arabian will never forgive me.
CC: Shall we save ourselves some ascent weight?
CC: Unfortunately, Owen wasn't listening.
LMP-LM: Well it was okay up until - it was Just this EVA if it was on, Bob.
LMP: -LM Because it was working when we prepped, I'm sure of that.
CDR-LM: Okay. Did you don your EV gloves_ And we'11 check each others connectors again.
LMP-LM: I'11 take my cuff checklist off.
CDR-LM: Needless to say, you don't have to put your dust covers on, Jack. If that makes you feel better.
LMP-LM: Oh boy.
CDR-LM: Bob, how long were we out today, 7 what?
CC: Stand by, we got it here someplace; 7 hours and - 7 hours 15 minutes and 31 second.s.
CDR-LM: How many kilometers did we put on the Rover?
CC: We have an approximate total of about 36.1.
LMP-LM: Boy this one is really getting stiff.
CDR-LM: Probably another 1/2 kilometer on that when the nay wasn't working.
CC: I don't - yes, we didn't - we didn't get distance readouts all the time. We sort of interpolated those distances there, Gene.
LMP-LM: Push on the button.
LMP-LM: Well yes - -
CDR-LM: It's not locked.
LMP-LM: Now I know why I brought you.
CDR-LM: Jack, did you put those gloves on?
LMP-LM: I don't know. I was listening to you for one thing. Boy, it is stiff though. Never get it off. ... off.
CDR-LM: I ... this thing down there so it - -
LMP-LM: Wait a minute. Tangled.
CDR-LM: Okay, it just don't want to -
CDR-LM: Ail we need.
CDR-LM: Okay, EV gloves are donned. Let's check our PGA connectors. Do you want to check mine?
LMP-LM: That's locked, that's not ...
LMP-LM: Helmet ... changed. Okay. That's looked, locked, locked, locked. Over, I can't see, locked.
CDR-LM: Okay, suit circuits shall not be maintained a% elevated pressure greater than 5 minutes.
CDR-LM: Now, we're not going to use REG A at all.
CDR-LM: Okay, SUIT GAS DIVERTER, PL_L EGRESS, verify.
CDR-LM: Now you can verify all that other stuff. CABIN GAS RETURN EGRESS, verify.
CDR-LM: And SUIT CIRCUIT RELIEF is a CLOSE. CLOSE it.
UNKNOWN: Okay, it's going CLOSED. CLOSED.
CDR-LM: Okay, PRESSURE REG A - let's leaw,_ A OFF, and PRESSURE REG B to DIRECT 02 - ... 4.0, and then go to EGRESS, and we'11 check on decay.
CDR-LM: Wait a minute ... I should have ...
LMP-LM: Yes. Okay, it_ unlocked.
LMP-LM: How high do they want the suit?
CDR-LM: 3.7 to 4.0 cuff gage.
LMP-LM: Okay, it'swarming up, slowly.
CDR-LM: Yes, it could be some warmer.
LMP-LM: There, you come up on 3.5. you can -
LMP-LM: Okay 3.7. Okay.
LMP-LM: B_LARKit. One minute.
CDR-LM: You did go EGRESS, righz? 113A/19 Tape
LMP-LM: Well, it's suppose to be possible to do it.
CDR: Hope so, ...
CDR-LM: There. Get it.
CDR-LM: Okay, we've got another 15 seconds to go.
CDR-LM: Okay, MARK it. In one minute you go to SUIT CIRCUIT' RELIEF, AUTO.
CC: And 17, we're watching you, and you look good to us. You're GO. 2/10.
LMP-LM: Okay, I had about
CDR-LM: And I had 2/10. 3.7 to 3.5. Hey let's make sure we got everything. You went to 4.0, then you went to EGRESS then we monitor SUIT CIRCUIT RELIEF, AUTO; pressure is decaying at 4.8. Okay, that's good. Okay. We're GO for cabin repress.
CC: Roger. Roger, you're GO for -
CDR-LM: Okay, 16 ECS CABIN REPRESS, OPEN.
LMP-LM: Okay, REPRESS coming OPEN. CIRCUIT BREAKER, OPEN.
CDR-LM: Okay .... i think i'11 get Vhis down here.
LMP-LM: Leave this in auto?
CDR-LM: ... just all you want is - -
LMP: - - circuit breaker.
CDR-LM: - - 16 CABIN REPRESS, OPEN.
LMP: Okay. Overhead or forward dump wLlve OPEN and then AUTO at 3.5.
CDR-LM: Get that one down there, now.
CDR-LM: Circuit relief was AUTO, right?
LMP-LM: Yes. Had to be.
LMP-LM: Okay, going OPEN.
CDR-LM: It's coming down. I want your AUSO at 3.5, I give you a call my suit is going up.
CDR-LM: MARK it. Okay, you're 3.5. Verify cabin 3.5 and LM suit circuit locked up at 4.3 snd decaying. Okay, it's about 4.6 and decaying. How's it look to you, Houston?
CC: Looks good to us, 17.
CDR: Okay, Jack. Overhead - make it fcrward dump, OPEN. And I'11 verify we lock up ...
LMP-LM: Is decaying, the auto's working.
CDR-LM: Locking up, and the cabin's at 1.
CDR-LM: Okay, hatch opening. Downward.
CDR-LM: _en I get the hatch partially opened, you cmn go to AUTO on that valve.
LMP-LM: Still no good words about the gravimeter, huh, Bob?
CC: No, there's an out - outside chance that it's been a little cold. And they're hoping that if it warms up, that it may take care of itself but, no, everybody's very sad about that.
LMP: Well, I could have sprinkled dirt on it, maybe.
LMP-LM: Okay, you want that in auto?
CDR-LM: I can get it from here.
LMP-LM: Okay. And I'11 lock while it's on.
CDR-LM: Turn around over here, boy I wish you could take some of that dust out. Get it.
LMP-LM: Better turn - wait ...
CDR-LM: The hatch is open, Houston.
CDR-LM: But, Danny's [?] not out there, to hand us down the light weight PLSS's.
LMP-LM: Okay. Here goes the old - whose PLSS is this now?
CDR-LM: Well, look at it, if you want a memory.
LMP-LM: That must be yours it's red. No, that's mine, no it's yours. Here goes the old Commander's PLSS. that was a backup PLSS too.
CDR-LM: It walked down the ladder.
LMP-LM: It went down as gracefully as you did.
CDR-LM: Look at that. Okay, what's next?
LMP-LM: Well, I can give you some of these. Here hold - okay. Everything that's in here. Okay. That's the first thing.
LMP-LM: Beautiful gloves.
CDR-LM: Yes. Houston, I think we ought to probably Just mention, anyway. We are Jettisoning a set of - 2 sets of EVA gloves. I think that's worth mentioning. Because they did their Job.
LMP-LM: Just like everything else did its job. i Jetti- soned mine.
LMP-LM: Whoops, we didn't get them cleared.
CC: Okay, we copy 2 sets of EVA gloves to the surface for the last time.
CDR-LM: They're very reluctant. (Laughterl
LMP-LM: What else have you got there?
CDR-LM: Is - ISS.
LMP-LM: ... the other ISS.
LMP-LM: Nope, one more.
CDR-LM: That it?
LMP: Got one more thing.
LMP-LM: Watch it. Take this, I'11 get it.
CDR-LM: Okay, let's get this out.
LMP-LM: Okay, the old LMP's PLSS. The OPS stays where it is.
CDR-LM: Okay. Okay, put your - get it down there and then put your foot against it and it'11 probably go. The only geologist's PLSS on the Moon. Good boy. Have fun PLSS.
LMP-LM: It'11 stay there. Okay, we got everything else. Okay. - -
CDR-LM: Hatch seal clear.
LMP-LM: Pretty good.
CDR-LM: Pretty good from here.
LMP-LM: Too bad we don't have a broom.
CDR-LM: Is that everything else? Nothing else here to go. Nothing behind you. Nothing here. Okay.
CDR-LM: Okay, forward hatch closed. Let me see if I can't lock it. Okay, it's locked.
LMP-LM: Okay, CABIN REPRESS, DUMP valve, both AUTO, verified.
CDR-LM: They're - all are auto and locked. Okay.
CDR-LM: CABIN REPRESS, AUTO. Verify.
CDR-LM: AZ 16, CABIN REPRESS, CLOSED.
CDR-LM: MASTER ALARM and CABIN WARNING LIG_]T ON. There it is. Cabin's coming up. Okay, _t's increased and you go to ca - cabin on the one reg.
LMP-LM: One re_ Bravo.
CDR-LM: Cabin - ...
CDR-LM: Okay, cabin's coming it's about 5.
CDR-LM: Okay, lights are off. Repress stopped. Cabin pressure stable. Okay, Houston, Challenger, we're going to take off our gloves.
CDR-LM: Hello, Houston. How does it look?
CC: Roger. You look stable, and stand by.
CC: Okay, yoa're GO to unsuit therejguys.
LMP-LM: Speaking of suits. These things perform super.
CDR-LM: Okay, and we can get our helmets off. (Laughter) That's my hand. Let me try the other one,
CDR-LM: Oh, let me get it for you. I can free here - Yes, but I'm (Laughter).
LMP-LM: There. The right one went easy - I think they're all really getting -
CDR-LM: Oh, and the helmet is off and I'm throwing it in the BRA.
LMP-LM: Well, there's no changing our minds now, ahe PLSSs are going to be hard to retrieve. But you could if you had to, though.
CC: Challenger, Houston. From the old backup crew that followed you every step of the way, super job on EVA you guys.
LMP-LM: Thank you, John. Appreciave the words JosE. Bun we also appreciate your helping us _et it _his far. 113A/25 Tape
CC: Roger; Neil.
CDR-LM: Hey, you know in - in all those things you tell people - Was that Charlie? I haven't heard your voice since - you know all those good things you tell us about dust and all those other things, you know, you believe them all just like everybody else does - but you've just got to come out here and yourself experience it for to really be a believer.
CC: Yes, well I take it back about it all looks the sa_e.
LMP-LM: Hey, it - it really doesn't Charlie, but all those physical things you get handicapped with - there's 1/6 a lot of easy things as far as g - but all those other things - you know there's nothing like doing it to be a believer.
CC: Well, you guys did it great.
LMP-LM: Charlie it may all look the same but Taurus Littrow, mark my words, has some variety.
CC: Yes_ we could tell that, Jack. Great job.
LMP-LM: Thank you, Charlie and thank you for all the help.
CDR-LM: Hey, Charlie I remember a long time ago when I said something about being down among them. I didn't know what it was until we got here.
CC: Challenger we have a good word from the old pro- gram managers even though you guys were pretty piggy there in bringing rocks back, we're going vo let you keep them all. You only busted the red line by 40 pounds.
LMP-LM: Okay, he's a pretty good guy any way.
CC: That assumes Four good buddy upstairs gets a good plane change tomorrow. ios_ 20 pounds apiece on this mission.
CC: We can believe that.
CDR-LM: Verify safetys.
LMP-LM: Hey, we're on VOX anyway - let's go to ICS/PTT.
CC: It's safer that way.
CDR-LM: Yes, specially when you don't know you're talking.
LMP-LM: Okay, we came to the end of the EVA-3 prep and post card.
CC: Roger. We're following you to the surface check- list.
CDR-LM: Hey Jack and I are going to frame this - Jack and I are going to frame this page 2-3, cut it down the middle and each take half.
LMP-LM: I'm going to take the front half. Gene will take the back half.
LMP-LM: Okay, Roberto, we're going to manage the old batteries.
CC: Okay, and Challenger we're ready to manage the old batteries.
LMP-LM: The old ED batteries are 37.2 - A aad B. I was just going to say I wish we had a broom.
CC: Okay, we're happy with your battery management. We're ready for you guys to go to iow.
LMP-LM: You got - you got low.
CC: Thank you. Tapes l13B-116B/1 REST PERIOD - NO COMMUNICATIONS Tape l14A/1
CC: I bet you can guess.
LMP-LM: He doesn't know anything about the LM. He doesn't know anything about the LM.
MCC: It's never too late to learn.
LMP: For you, I'd believe that; for a lot of people, I wouldn't.
CDR-LM: Welcome aboard, Ken.
MCC: You guys make a pretty interesting show to watch.
MCC: Yes. Just noticed that.
LMP-LM: Hey, Ken. You can tell your friends off to the left there that I've turned the biomed off.
MCC: Okay. Thank you.
CDR-LM: Hello, Houston; Challenger. CDR's going off the air.
MCC: Hey, Jack; Houston. You busy?
MCC: Okay. Just whenever it's convenient for you.
MCC: Hey, how about if we hit a PRO on the DSKY and get it into P00 and back into STANDBY? We're worrying about the clock registers overflowing. And we'd like to get that done before 172:50, or somewhere in that neighborhood.
LMP-LM: Okay; stand by. I24P-I_M Is that what you wanted?
MCC: Oh, we can't watch it, Jack. If you just tell us that you've got it into P00 and back into P06.
LMP-LM: That's what happened.
LMP-LM: I thought you watched it the other night.
MCC: No, we don't have any high bit rate now. LMP-I_M That do make a difference. That's right.
MCC: I understand that - that you've completed that transition. Is that correct? LMP-hM Which one?
MCC: You did get it out of ST_XD_Y into P00, anu Lh_ back. is that correct? LMA°-LY_ That's affirm. We completed vhat.
MCC: Okay. _uank you.
LMP-LM: Sorry to be so unclear.
MCC: Hey, we - we also are still on your stowage. So when you get on page 7-6, where it says, "Stow Heaviest Collection Bag," down in the right-hand column towards the bottom, why don't you skip that step until after the eat period. And we're still working on the stowage locations.
CDR-LM: Hello, Ken. How do you read Challenger CDR?
MCC: Loud and clear.
CDR-LM: Houston, Challenger. How would you feel about this canister being changed now?
CC: Stand by. Okay; change her out, Geno.
CC: For your information, we're trying to negotiate some time for you here. We're about one and a half down. We know how to pick up 1 hour of it, but we haven't quite figured out how to gain the other half.
CDR-LM: Okeydoke. Well, we're - we're all unsuited now, and we're about ready to talk and eat at the same time, or listen and eat here at the same time. And it won't be long and we'11 be ready ko hit the sack.
CC: Okay; fine. Ken's trying to negotiate t_e ques- tion sessions for you here.
CDR-LM: Canister's changed out, now.
MCC: Okay. Okay. Before we start ¢n those questions, are you prepared to copy some lift-off times in your data book, and that kind cf stuff?
CDR-LM: In about 10 seconds.
MCC: Ail right, sir.
MCC: Okay. This is rev 44. Lift-off: 174 plus 13 plus 49. TPI: 177 plus 01 plus 00. Okay; I'11 give you just the lift-off times. Excuse me. For rev 45: 176 plus 12 plus 19; 178 plus 10 plus 49; 180 plus 09 plus 20; 182 plus 07 plus 50; 184 plus 06 plus 20. Rev 50 is 186:04:50. Over. LMP-_ Okay, Ken. Starting with 44: 174:13:49; 176:12:19; 178:10:49; 180:09:20; 182:07:50; 184:06:02 [sic]; 186:04:50. And what's the present rev, please?
MCC: Okay; we're coming up on 40 - ia fact, it looks like we're in 44 right now. Okay. And, Jack, how about let's confirm that the rev 49 was 184:06:20. I2_P-LM Oh, I did have that wrong, in the seconds - two zero seconds.
MCC: That's affirmative. Okay; and we've got your biomed coming through.
LMP-LM: Well, one - one - Am I alive?
MCC: Just barely.
LMP-LM: Ken, I'd like to believe that you read %ha_ one wrong, because I've gone through 50 copies on that without a mistake.
CC: Well, I'11 - I'11 settle that with you when you get back. LM_-_ 50 rev.
CC: Ail right, sir. And - -
MCC: - - looks like it's about time for an eat period, and I've got these questions for you. Buz let's keep in mind that that's secondary, and if it ever gets in the way of eating, why holler up, and we'11 just drop it right there. We're about an hour and a half behind the time line, and we're going to make up no more than an hour of that.
LMP-LM: Well, I think - -
CDR-LM: Okay, Ken. We're cutting into the chow and go ahead.
MCC: Okay. Would you like for me to just read you all the questions, and let you mull those over before you work on it, or you want to do one at a time?
LMP-LM: One at a time's better, Ken.
MCC: Ail right, sir. Ntmlber 1. Wanted to know if zhe blue-gray rocks at station 6 are similar to those at station 2?
LMP-LM: Ken, I think they are. But I think you'11 find that the ones in station 6 are much more metamorphic rock, or recrystallized rock, than the ones we had at station 2. I had the impression that the ones we were sampling at station 6 were - were really inclusions in the - anorthositic gabbro - and had - had been probably considerably meta- morphosed by it being included in it; whereas, the ones we had at station 2 were a separate rock type apparently, as I recall it, anyway.
MCC: Okay; that's good. that there was a lot more action in the rocks az station 6 than 2. i saw a lot more; a ioz more was evident, the inclusions and, some of %he patterns, some of the other things we saw.
LMP-LM: In the one - that parent orthopyroxene piagiociase rock - was a breccia in the sense it was frac- tured and was injected by dark _!ass. But it would be what we would call a mosaic breccia, in that respect, I think, and not the - Didn't see any station 6- or station 2-type breccias there at all. Other than the subfloo:c gabbro, that orthopyroxene plagioclase rock was the only major rock type I think we saw, unless we picked up some in the rake sample.
MCC: Okay. Okay; the third one says: What are your impressions of the distribution of the - the familiar subfloor gabbros throughout the EVA-3 traverse?
LMP-LM: Well, I don't - I don't - I think we discussed that a little bit on the traverse - quite a bit, as a matter of fact. The impression I had was that most of the traverse on the plains, with the one exception of - of Van Serg Crater, were - We were in box fields or frag_ent fields that were almost - well, were dominately subf!oor. And visually from the Rover, I had no impression of any other significant rock t_?e, with the exception of occasional blocks of the gray variety of the subfloor gabbro. And I don't know - Gene - Z don't know what Gene's impression was. He was driving a lot, but - pass it on.
CDR-LM: I think - we actually even commented wiien we hi_, the breaking slope coming back ou_ of staaion 6 and 7, and then back off as - coming back do_ at 8 - how the terrain features ch_mged, i shink that was due principally to the - to the - what we've been calling the subfioor material evident. And there again, it was, what I would say_ par- _icularly mantled, filleted, _dch like we nave here where the LM is, with the excepsion of V_ Serg, where we actually saw fragmental bo_iders for the most part, a lot less b_ied sit_ing on the surface.
MCC: Ail right, sir. At Van Serg, some rocks were described as gray breccias, and some contained white fragments. Was there a variety of breccias present?
LMP-LM: I think - I think not, Ken. My impression was that there was a variety only in their - in the degree to which they were fractured. We found and sampled, I think, the two major - one extreme - extremely fractured rock that I said was - was friable. Anyway, it broke into small pieces very easily with a hammer or in your hand, if you worked at it. And the other was a breccia that was not - was much more cohesive than that. It was not fractured or friable at all, but they both were on the rim, and I think they were Just varieties of - probably of shock fracturing.
MCC: Okay. Could the Van Serg breccias correlate with the blue-gray material at Cochise?
UNKNOWN: That's possible, I guess. But my first guess would be that the blue-gray at Cochise was blue- gray subfloor. And, well, I don't know. That's a good question. That's a good question. We - Maybe with the pictures we have, we can work out the - an attitude - approximate attitude on that contact that I talked about in Cochise, and see if it would project over reasonably to Van Serg. I wouldn't be surprised if it would. That's a good - that's a good point. To me they looked very similar.
MCC: Okay. And you guys sure you're eating?
LMP-LM: But - but - Ken, Ken, Ken - -
CDR-LM: Yes, we're eating. We're fixing and eating at the same time.
CC: You're mighty efficient. Go ahead. You were starting to say something.
LMP-LM: You just - yes, Ken. i think from a diszance we saw the blue-gray in Cochise, you coui_'v make a definite correlation. But it's a good idea and ought to be considered as one of the possibilities. The other is that we juss had a window in the subfloor that coincidentally - I mean one underneath the subfloor might be that breccia. Oh, incidentally - the Van Serg impact hit that window.
MCC: Okay. Can you tell us anything about the cowpie at Van Serg. Was that a clast in the breccia?
LMP-LM: Negative. It was a - excuse me_ I have my mouth full.
MCC: It's about time.
LMP-LM: It was an ag - it was an aggregate of irregular - looked like agglutinated glass in fragments Just sitting on the rim of Van Serg. And the reason I said I thought it was in place or had - had fallen there and crystallized there, is that there were four or five similar fragments arrs_nged in a small coherent area. Not making that very clear I don't think, but it looks as if it hit and broke apart upon hitting a little bit but didn't - didn't really splatter or - or brer_k apart in any significant manner.
MCC: Ail right.
LMP-LM: There are similar things - I tell you what it looks like. If anybody'd walked up the rim of Kilauea Iki in the ash out there, and on top of the ash, there are bombs that were fairly clearly molten when they hit, and they had Just - Just enough spring to break when they hit. But they - the individual pieces didn't move very far as ail. And you can see that pattern on Kiiauea iki. And it was the same kind of thing, except that there was no directional aspect of it here.
LMP: And that's no_ to say it's volcs_ic glass. Thas_s just the kind of pattern i_ was.
MCC: Okay. Can you tell us if the darker material in the bottom of Van Serg was similar to the collected rim material?
LMP-LM: I think so, except as Gene pointed out, the clasts were coarser. They were coarser in the bottom than about anything we saw in the rim.
MCC: Okay. Are there any distinctive features, other than color, to separate tan from blue-gray breecias, such as Joining, or massive nature, continuity, anything of that nature?
CDR-LM: Where did we find those tan breccias?
CC: Challenger, this is Bob. I think we were talking about some of them, I think, at station 1 the first night. We had both natures. In fact, I think we had - Didn't we have two of those in the same rock together?
CC: Yes, excuse me - -
LMP-LM: Bob, they were tan gabbros and blue-gray gabbros. l15A/1 Tape
CC: Roger. Okay, yesterday, excuse me, I wasn't reading the question. Okay, the breecias - they were tan and blue-gray breccias yesterday at sta- tion 2, were not - were there not? You have the two type - types of breccias at station 2.
LMP-LM: Oh well, yes, yes, that's right. And now as I think back I guess that's the main difference between the tan rocks at station 2 and station 6, but the ones at 6 appear to be - have an igneous texture or at least a very crystalline texture and inclusion-like masses of other rocks. Where- as, the ones at station 2 they - they seem to be fragment breccias, as I recall. That's right, although they may have been recrystallized or metamorphosed, they were clearly breceias at station 2. I just forgot about that.
CC: Okay, copy that. Okay, and can you amplify your description going out to station 6. In particular were there blue-gray and tan-gray bands on the North Massif?
LMP-LM: Rather than bands, there were lines that appeared to be the upper terminus of the - of the source of the boulders that were strewn below that line. And those lines tended to be either - show a blue- gray source or a tan-gray source, if you will.
LMP-LM: Oh, those ...
