CDR: Maybe you'd better take the camera in the other window.
CMP: Over here?
LMP: Yes. Put if over there with Dick.
CC: 12, Houston. In that scene you Just shifted from, there appeared to be two parallel rilles. You confirm that?
CDR: That's - that's correct. As a matter of fact, in looking at it, there are two parallel rilles and then they actually pick up, well not quite a third one. It's like one ends on one side, and the middle one goes all the way through, and then one picks up on the right-hand side.
CC: Roger. Understand. The picture's - -
CMP: Well, there's two parallel grabens in this sea.
CDR: Also - also on that - that rille - one of the last things we saw and, Hous- or at the Cape when we talked with the geolcgist was the little experiment that the guy did blowing air through the sand, gases that - Sure enough I've got some examples of that right here in those trench-like structures. There's some creter chains running through them and alongside of thom, Just like - we talked about - -
CMP: We've got some examples. There's a big giant up here just blowing sand all over the place.
CC: Okay, understand. Now, we can see - Just a minute ago a - furrow or trench coming from the lower left side of the screen up toward the center and kind of ending in a string of rather poorly defined craters.
CMP: Roger. There's one up here that's actually a double - double graben; it's not offset. There are two of them running parallel to each other. i Tape 55/6 'l
CDR: Hey, Dick. You see the double craters right there? Do you see bhe grabens running alongside of them? And you. see the little string? It looks like a string of craters. Two sets of them. Can you give them that on the TV? I may get it out of this w_ndow. Wait a minute. Let me try the center window.
CC: 12, Houston. While you are setting up, how - how's the view out of your windows now?
CDR: Pretty much the same, Houston. Window number 5 is a good one, window number _ is poor, window number 3, which is the hatch window, it's not - it's bad - it's still the same condition it was at launch. Ail of them are. But, because we've got a bright background instead of the dark background we had before, the marks on them aren't quite as noticeable.

CDR: ... over on your side there, Dick. Yes. There's bunch the - there's several - there's a whole of areas in here, just looking out the window generally, that give you the feeling that, as we've talked about with the geologists, that some of this is volcanic action in here.
CC: Okay. Now, we can see a crater Just to the left of the screen there that's rather poorly defined and appears to be a good-sized rille or fracture running across the floor. I/4P

CMP: Is the camera over there, Al?
LMP: Yes. Wait a minute. I'11 get it for you. Nov, I don't know where he put it. Where'd you put the Hasselblad?
CDR: Can you see the Straight Wall now, Houston?
CC: Yes, sir. We can see it very good. Just beyond that large crater was another smaller crater and its rim, and we can see the Wall on beyond it.
CC: - picture that. Does anybody know?
UNKNOWN: You got this little chart right here. We've been - since the update, we've been here 56 minutes, so leave it 56 minutes, DATA.
UNKNOWN: I'm going to move off the Straight Wall, now, Houston, and look down at a crater. I don't have my chart here, so I don't know the name of it, but it's got extremely well defined terraced walls. It's got a nice central peak in the middle. And let me see if I can get it better for you. There it is.
CC: Oh. Roger. We have a good one there, Al.
LMP: And it also has a nice crack right down at the bottom.
CC: Roger. We see that.
LMP: That's a pretty impressive-looking crater. We're in the terra now, an_ you can tell that the ground is much more h,,mmocky and quite a bit rougher than the mare which we're getting ready to ap- proach in a few moments.
CMP: Here's another one with a good central oeak. In fact, this is one of the highest central peaks that - That's a hard one to show because the radar antenna of the I/4is partially eclipsing it. Cem you see that central peak there?

CC: We have them. Here's some of those mountains we talked about earlier that look like, from the distance, like little clouds over the mare. You can see how bright they are relative to the mare surface; and, maybe even on the TV, they look like puffy clouds. However, they're not. They look like hard rock down there.
CC: Roger. Understand they are not clouds.
LMP: Got something out your window, Pete?
CDR: Too dark.
CDR: It's getting dark. Boy. There's a high mountain right there on the horizon. I bet you - Do you see that very high mountain on the horizon, Houston? It's about the center of the screen now. All you can see is reflected light.
CC: Affirmative. We have it. 12, Houston. Can you open your f-stops any - get in this dim light?
LMP: How's that look, Houston?
CC: That's better.
LMP: Sure looks better here. Here's an interesting feature down there, that you're looking at near that large crater. The hole is - seems to be a general trending of ridges in this area, all in the same direction. They'd be running, I guess, on your camera from the top right-hand corner to the lower left. And it's particularly evident down there by the large crater that's in your picture.
LMP: There it is right - You see it? affirm.
LMP: Interesting. There's - I guess it's probably parallel to - Let me show you some more of these clouds. I think you'11 like them. They Just seem to be large bumps on top of the m_re.

CMP: Hey Paul, all I can say, it's another fighter -'; pilo{'s life: Hours and houxs.
CC: That's looking good, Al.
LMP: That crater's a beauty out there. The rim is illuminated by the low Sun while, down inside the crater, it's dark. And you can see the ray patterns from here, and you can see the mare surface. It almost looks like somebody took a - some cake icing and spread it with a big knife, laid it all around out there, and then somebody shot some BB's in it. It really is beautiful. It's got that layering all over it.
CDR: M_sting, and that ... up SchrSter's Valley.
CDR: Got something over there? Let me hand it back to you. Okay. Now the ... down in the terminator. You ought to have Copernicus out there somewhere.
CDR: You should see all that stuff that's on the win- ._ dow. That's why that window isn't any good for photography out of it. The Sun's really shining right on it now.
CC: Roger. We can see all that stuff, Pete. How- ever, we're getting a good picture through it in the open spaces.
LMP: I guess Copernicus is too far out there to see, isn't it, Dick? Or can you see it?
CMP: It's on the horizon. You can't even - Yes. Guess we passed it a minute ago.
CDR: That silly thing floating outside the window.
LMP: Where'd the Moon go?

CDR: Okay. Yaw trim plus 050, and it's undocked.
CC: Okay, Pete, throughout the flight, your oxygen than consumption has been slightly higher pre- vious flights, by approximately 10 percent. This is no problem, as extrapolating that to end of mission still gives us plenty of oxygen available. In an attempt to try to figure out why, though, we have a couple of questions, primarily with respect to your use of the URA. Approximately how long after use do you leave the cover valve in VENT before you close it? Ove_.
CDR: We usually keep it on until the 02 HIGH light comes on, which is a couple of minutes worth of venting.
CC: Okay, and what position do you - do you leave the cover valve and the waste management over- board drain valve when you're not using the URA?
CDR: Usu-!ly shut the dump valve, OFF. Leave the cover in VENT.
CC: Roger, we got that. We will massage that, thank you.
CDR: Okay, we probably have used a little more oxygen through that, and we noticed on our plot that we were running a little low on oxygen, also.
CMP: Houston, 12. Are you looking at the DSEY? ,)

CDR: Roger. You can see quite well in Earth's shine, up here. The IM is illuminated very brightly because it's fairly reflective, but the Moon itself is fairly easy to see in earthshine; it's quite beautiful, real soft, and sort of gives it a greenish tinge, gray-green.
CC: Roger. Understand. And do you say that the I24 is illuminated by earthshine?
CDR: Yes. Real well. It's very reflective itself, and so it looks almost like the soft sunlight if there is such a thing. But you can, for example, look out and read the marks on the Commander's overhead window; you can see all the Quads, the struts. And real pretty up here in earthshine. Kind of gives it sort of a gray- green cast, though.

UNKNOWN: wasn't smart enough for
CC: Hey, listen. We've got one idea down here on the 02 consumption rate that we'd like to get your comments on. The suggestion was that, last night while you guys were asleep, the metabolic rates indicated that one of you was dre,m_ng, probably about scuba diving, and that we think you were dreaming about petting a moray eel; and in the hyperventilation, you sucked up too much of the oxygen.
CDR: Okay, tell David, David, that I'11 go along with that one.
CDR: I sUspect that it's this urine device thing - the we're just out of habit of leaving it on to keep it flushed out. It doesn't flush out very well, _o we've been leaving it on, and we usual '_ don't bother to shut it down until the 02 HIGH FLOW comes on or something; that takes awhile. But that probably doesn't account for all of it.
CC: The practical people would be impressed with that. Most of us like the moray eel theory better.
CDR: Okay, I'11 go along with that.
CDR: Hello, Houmton; 12.
CDR: Will you have one of the doctors look at mv BIOMED and see if it's okay? I had to move one of the leads. For some reason, it reacted on my skin, and it's all welled up into a bunch of blisters here, so I had to move it.
CC: Roger. He reports that it - you're - they're getting a good signal.

CC: Apollo 12, Houston. Go rhead.
LMP: Roger. Got a couple of quick questions for you. One, we seem to be find - a little more RCS - there seems to be a little more RCS thruster activity around the Moon than we had imagined. Is Control satisfied with our propellant usage right now and the number of firings? That's one. Two, I've been getting a little stuffy in the head. In fact, I been that way since launch. Do you know - I don't have _ cold or anything. My ears are sometimes clear, and sometimes they're not. I took a decongestant pill about - several hours ago, and in order to be sure that m_, ears are good and clear tomorrow for the - all the L_ activity and the EVA, how ) often should I take one of those pills to get the maximum effectiveness from it?
CC: Roger. We'11 check on both of those.
CC: The surgeon recommends that we take one of those every 8 hours; so 8 hours after you took the first one, we recommend another one, and it should be Just about time to take one more Just before the EVA, so that's the recommendation. Also, we're interested in BI(24ED,and getting we're wondering if you can turn on Pete's BIOMED if it's Just a question of throwing the switch. We're not getting any BIOMED from him, and we don't if you could get us some BIOMED from him easily.
CC: No. He's down in his sleep station, and it m-kes it a bit uncomfortable to get the BIOMED ~'") down to there, so he's not even connected to it. That's why you're not getting it from Pete at all. The only person you've been getting it from is Dick.
CC: Roger. We didn't get any for a long time there. Okay. And on the thrusters, they look good. We're checking further, but, at the first approximation, things look fine.
LMP: Sounds good. I'm going to head back to sleep, Houston, so the only person you'11 have BIOMEn on is Dick, I guess.

CDR: Yes. I want to talk to you about that this morning. Go ahead with the rest of the questions, then I'11 talk to you about it.

We watched it very carefully in your behalf, and we get no particles coming out of it in the vicinity of the Earth. So, we exercised the system, but thexe's nothing to report coming your way.

Now, all of them are in the came category, and I don't want to move ... and get this stuff out in the open. Y - I can't do - You tend to break out even worse. Now, the one on my chest is pretty bad, and I've moved that one. So, what I propose to you all is - that - I'm going to leave them Just the way they are until we get all the way through the EVA and I get back up here. Then, I want to take them off.

CDR: Hello, Houston; 12 reads you loud and clear. How me? /
CC: Roger, Pete. We are reading you loud and clear.
CC: Apollo 12, Houston. On your BIOMED sensors situation, we have a few words for you, if you are ready.
CC: Okay. The recommendations of the medical people here are that you remove the two side - the respiration sensors. You can go ahead and take those off completely, and treat the areas with your first-aid cream; and if they are weeping, you can go ahead and cover them vith a Band-aid or something. The ones on the blue lead, they recommend you do the same thing with those; remove them, cover them with first- aid cream, and put a Band-aid on them if they are weeping and then relocate those with a whole brand new system; and that way you Mill have a good clean system with a minimal chance of itching beginning immediately in a new area. And, of course, if you don't like this particular proposal, they have no objection to you sticki_g to the way you wanted to do it - of Just leaving it where it is. '
CDR: Jerry, Just - I want to stick with it the way it is. It works. The respiration leads on my sides are the least ones that are bothering me. I moved the one that bothered me the most, and the best I could describe that area is that it looks like I've got a 1-inch-round patch of very bad poison ivy. The rest of them aren't anywhere near that bad. They have been bother- lng me but they work, and I would Just as soon leave them where they are, because the area that I moved is raw; end I have covered it with a Band-aid, but I am a little worried about getting my sid2s exposed, even with Bend-aids, with that LCG on. I think that the sensors themselves will do better protection Just the wa_ it is. And when I get back up, I'11 take them all off and switch them around.
CC: Okay, Pete. That's fine. We are satisfied with that if that is the way you would like to do it.
CDR: Yes. You're getting good data now, aren't you?
CC: Roger. Looks very good, Pete.
CDR: Okay. I would Just like to leave it the way it is. Let me give you the sleep report. Everybody had 7 hours across the board, and the PRD's were from Commander through LMP l!C16, 11015, 04017. The checklist has been complete. We dumped the water to 10 percent. We purged the fuel cells. We cycled the fans, and we are Just finishing up breakfast right now.
CC: Roger, Pete. Sounds good. We would like to get a little more medical information from you can. if we First of all, we want to get a little more word on how A1 is doing with his stuffiness, and is anybody else suffering from any stuffiness?
CDR: That's negative and I'11 let you - nobody else is stuffy - and I'11 let you talk to Al direct.
LMP: I've had a pretty stuffy - Houston - I've had a pretty stuffy head ever since we got into orbit, and I assumed it was going to go away in a couple of days, but it never did. I don't sneeze, cough, or have any other symptoms. It Just seems to be fairly full in the ears and the nose. I tried a couple of decongestants. They work well, but I didn't know exactly how far apart to take them. Right now my ears is - are clear, and my nose feels real well. I have taken two of the pills, 8 hours apart; end then, I've been using the spray, so it looks like we have got it licked right now.
CC: Okay, Al. That was what we were going to suggest is that you take your pills 8 hours apart and use the spray, and we Just hope that takes care of it for you. Next question we 66/3 Tape sleep? You got 7 good solid hnurs, or was there any fitfulness at all? slee_:ing

CDR: That's for Al.
CDR: Roger. How often can you use that spray? I kind of wondered that, too. 4
CC: Al, use that about 3 to hours. If you can space it to 4, fine. If you need it, go ahead and use it every 3 hours. _
LMP: Okay. Well, don't have to worry. I've - it's real clear now, and it stays clear as long as I use the pills and things, so it looks good for the rest of the trip.
CC: Well, that sounds fine, Al.
CDR: I don't think - I don't think he's had any- thing. It seems to us - We have all kicked it around a little bit - more like maybe there may be a little bit of dust floating around in here or something, that may be Just making it stuffy. It is a little bit different than being on the ground. He is not allergic to anything on the ground but that is what it appears to be.

CDR: Okay, we've switched to SECONDARY. I noticed - I was watching it Just before we went around the horn on the last pass and when we were within 6-7 minutes of LOS, the antenna Just started driving itself, and the signal strain started falling off. The antenna was sort of wandering around. Now, I don't know whether that would be the electronics or perhaps some We'11 look for it again on this pass.

CC: Okay. ch,nged
CDR: Okay, Houston. We Just out the LiOH canister per flight plan, and we're ready for the news.
CC: Okay, Pete. News coverage on your flight is beginning to pick up as the touchdown gets a little closer here. I guess most of the reports right now are about your medical ailments. Your "code in de dose" and all that stuff. Joseph P. Kennedy died peacefully today without regaining consciousness from a heart attack. In the Senate today, the vote for the confirmation of Judge Havnsworth has been tentatively set for noon, Friday. And on the stock market, busiDess world, the stock market dropped 6 points yester- day and rebounded a little bit today, with the international averages up about 2.64. In news, the United States and the Soviet Union met yes- terday in Finland for what President Nixon called momentus negotiations to seek agreement on ways to limit production on their arsenals of war. In local news, the University of Houston accepted a bid to play Auburn in the Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl on New Year's Day. In the weather world, the weather here in Houston is re-]ly miserable. We've had showers most of the day. The temperature warm started out this morning fairly and has been p],,mmeting all day, and it's in the low 50's right now. I got a little piece out of the Houston Post that gives the Bowl games at a glance. The decided who's playing in it this next_%weekend. It's either going to be Southern Cal or UCLA, and they'11 be playing either Michigan or Purdue. In the Rose - In the Orange Bowl, it's settled out now with Penn State playing Missouri. In the Cotton Bowl, Notre Dame has accepted a bid to the Cotton Bowl; and they're going to be either playing Texas or Arkansas, whoever wins that game. I think it's December the 6th. In the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, it'11 he Mississippi versus whoever loses the Texas-Arkansas game. In the Bluebonnet Bowl, I gave you that one already. The Peach Bowl will be South Carolina, and they haven't picked a team to play them yet. In the Gator Bowl, it'11 be Tennessee versus Florida. In the Tangerine Bowl, Davidson versus Toledo; and in the Sun Bowl, Georgia is going to play Nebraska. That pretty well covers some of the more important Bowls.
CDR: Roger. I'd still like to square something away down there. A1 doesn't have a cold; all I have is a 1-inch itch and I don't consider that any big major medical problem. As a dsmn matter of fact, we're in pretty good shape.
CC: 12, Houston. A1;s BIOMED still looks a little bit ratty.
CDR: Okay. We - We'11 smarten him up here. We're Just getting into the LCG's and stuff now; ' and - and I mean we're Just getting them out of stcwage and everything; and we'11 work him over, and see if we can't clean him up. He may have a loose lead; he's been in and out of his harness a couple of times during the night.
CC: Okay. It looks like a loose lead down here. Give us a call when you've got him adjusted, and we'11 tell you how it looks.
CDR: Okay. His leads look pretty tight now. How's it look down there?
CC: Stand by. We'11 take a look at it. No, it's still looking pretty squirrelly, Pete.
CC: 12, Houston; go.
