Otrobonita/noicy-space-talks huggingface dataset:
CC: Sounds like a real pretty sight. INCO says that - that they saw you in NARROW when you were trying to bring the HIGH GAIN up and that you'd have a little better luck with WIDE.
CMP: Okay, you're right. I looked down at the Flight Plan and saw a REACQ and NARROW. And then I went back to MANUAL. I - I may have had it in NARROW all along. Thank you.
CC: Ken, I got a - a - zodical-light, mapping camera photo pads for you, and TEI-32 block data.
CMP: Okay. Stand by. I'm going to get my books.
CC: If you want to start with the photo pads, the zodiacal light you copy at 123:12.
CMP: Okay, I got that and I also kind of got intrigued back along about - back along about King was the first chance I had to get all squared away again from the - the low-light-level stuff, so I didn't get a chance to look at as much back there as I had hoped, but - back around King, pretty interesting stuff again - was looking at a crater and some of the beds and things that are in it - apparent beds - and I'm convinced now that we're not seeing beds at all. Through the binoculars, it looks like those things are dark material and light material that slumped together, and why they formed shelves like that I don't have any idea, but you can't trace them through - if they are stratigraphy, then they are indeed - not only have you had horizontal stratigraphy but you've had a great deal of vertical fractures that's caused these things to slide in different proportions. Because there's no con- tinuous horizontal strata and you don't realize that until you look at it in detail. Okay, I got my Updates Book out and I got my Flight Plan here, so you can take the photo pad just if you like.
CC: Okay, the first one is - the zodiacal light at 123:12; T-start is 123 - -
CC: - - 09:38
CMP: Okay, 123:09:38.
CC: Okay, the next one comes at 123:32. There's not a block there for that one because we added that in. But T-start for the mapping camera is 123:31:12; T-stop is 124:31:02.
CMP: Okay, Hank. I just got 31:12 for the start time. I'm writing that in. I don't have a pad and T-stop - tell me again please.
CC: T-stop: 124:31:02.
CC: And the next map - mapping camera pad is at 125:30.
CMP: 125:30. Okay.
CC: T-start is 125:30:05; T-stop, 126:29:55.
CMP: Okay, 125:30:05, 126:29:55.
CMP: Let me mark that before you give me any more.
CC: Are you ready for the TEI-32 block?
CC: Okay, TEI-32. SPS/G&N; 38709; plus 0.72, plus 1.33; 137:12:07.88; NOUN 81, plus 2922.0, plus 0699.7, minus 0120.2; 181, 110, 015; rest of the pad's NA. The set stars, same as circ, two jets, 17 seconds. Other: lambda Moon at T. - minus 161.32, and lg and landing site REFSMMAT.
CMP: Okay, TEI-32: SPS/G&N; 38709; plus 0.72, plus 1.33; 137;12:07.88; plus 2922.0, plus 0699.7, minus 0120.2; 181, 110, 015. Set stars same as circ; two jets, 17 seconds; lambda, minus 161.32; and this is the landing REFSMMAT.
CMP: Hank, can you give me any coordinates on the LM estimated position?
CC: I'11 work on that, Ken. And did you take any earthshine photos?
CMP: No, sir. I - I tried to get them in last night and we decided they'd close up shop before I could get them in.
CMP: And, I tell you it's going down. It was much more dramatic the first night than it was last night and it's not as dramatic tonight on the nightside passes. So, if you can find a place to put it, that is one thing I'd like to get. The sooner the better.
CC: Okay. FAO advises that if you didn't take any earthshines that magazine X-ray X-ray is - which is - I think already have on the Nikon is good for the zodiacal light rather than changing to Yankee Yankee. And on this next rev - -
CMP: Yes, sir; I'd planned to do that.
CC: On next rev, you could - if you want to take some earthshine, they suggest window 4 and take away.
CMP: Window 4.
CMP: Okay. I guess I'11 have to check the attitude. Do they - if I take the zodiacal light on X-ray X-ray, you'd - do they have a recommended magazine?
CC: Okay, Ken. I've got a film story for you. If you choose to do the earthshine, use mag XX and window 4 and the target should be about - You should see it about 122:42. If you don't do the earthshine, you can go ahead and use XX for 30 - the zodiacal. If you do the earthshine, of course, with the XX, you need the YY per Flight Plan for the zodiacal.
CMP: Okay. I don't tl_ink it'd be prudent for me to try and get the earthshine and the zodiacal light on the same rev.
CC: Okay. Copy. And the Surgeon is still anxious to see you sometime find a place to change out the sensors.
CMP: Roger. I understand that.
CMP: Hey, do you need them all changed, Hank, or can you send me to one so I don't have to waste time with all that stuff? You got to break out each one of those little things by itself and keep track of it. It - it takes a good 20 minutes if you change out the whole sensors.
CC: Ken, the surgeon says he can't tell which - which one of the sensors is dead, so before we take off here and do them all, why don't you try pressing down on them and let him - let him watch his data - maybe we can find out which one is the dead one. Press them one at a time.
CMP: Okay. Let me - okay. I'11 start on the ground. I'm pressing the ground now.
CC: Okay. That didn't do it.
CMP: Okay. I'11 go to the - the sternal.
CC: That seemed to make it worse, Ken.
CMP: That's making it worse?
CC: Yes. That's probably the culprit, but let's - -
CMP: Well, maybe that's my problem.
CC: - - try the third one while you're at it.
CC: That makes the trace a lot better, Ken. I imagine it's the third one there.
CMP: Okay. I'11 try changing those two out.
CMP: Boy, I'11 tell you. That - that little Sun-angle change - old North and South Ray really stand out now. You couldn't miss those for anything. And,
CC: Ken, for your information, John and Charlie are almost through getting the ALSEP out.
CMP: Okay. Sounds good. Like an EVA should.
CMP: I know that's a bad one, but you know that's about all I can do for you today. That's probably safer than having you tell me Jokes.
CMP: Okay. With the binocs on the area now, i'm looking down into North Ray Crater and South Ray and the interior structures of those two don't and look quite the same. There's a lot more light dark material in the South Ray; but that may be caused by the fact that it's just a- it really has been a fresher-appearing crater all around. The areas - trying to see if I can see any shadows or anything - There's a bright spot down there, but I think that's Just a double spot itself. I don't see anything with the binocs that I could say I could see - I can't stabilize them quite that well. Coming down the traverse route from - where they're going across Survey Ridge - I don't think Survey is going to be easy to spot. And when you get down - there is one definite terrace - Looks like the - looks like Stone Mountain is formed with one, two, three terraces, but they are much larger than the kind of things that we were drawing on the map. The rest of that is very fine subtle lineations. The area around North Ray, particularly up along the area that they were going on the EVA - I can see it now, and it almost looks like that little pile of material that runs up to the south of their track and I'11 give you some coordinates on that. I'm looking at my chart a - oh, let's see, 9 Charlie - yes, let's look at chart 9 Charlie. And there's - this is a pretty lousy picture, but if you'11 remember at a point about CY by 79, if you'11 draw a line there and then draw a line down to about CU and 81, that's a - that represents a ridge, which shows up in the photographs. And looking down on it vertically, that looks like sort of a flow of material that runs up over the lip of North Ray and down into it. And it shows some craters on it, but it almost looks like a flow that runs up and down into North Ray rather than being some of the other kinds of things we've talked about. And I didn't have much time, I'11 try to concentrate on that on the next rev.
CC: Roger. Good show, Ken.
CC: Ken, do you want the LM coordinates in lat-long or do you want it in coordinates on 9 Charlie?
CMP: Oh, I'd like to have it in 9 Charlie kind of coordinates. That's about the only thing I have to reference to.
CC: That's what I figured.
CMP: Let me see here if I can get - can get one last chance on our old friend that - Maybe and maybe see if he's decided to show his face this time. Don't let me forget the mapping camera, that comes about the same time.
CC: Casper, could you give us AUTO on the HIGH GAIN?
CMP: Yes, sir. You have AUTO.
CMP: I tell you, Hank, I think that the terminator mountain got hung up here on a high or something. It doesn't look like it's moving as much as it is everywhere else on the Moon.
CC: Roger. Is Davy still in the dark?
CMP: Well. I'm not to it yet, but it sure - I don't see anything beyond it. That's a - Hey, old Alphonsus and Arzachel show up nicely. And here comes the crater chain, by golly. Yes, but much to n_ amazement, but the peak in Albategnius is still - is in daylight.
CMP: Oh, I see what's happened now. There's a - there's a little hill that's shielding - I - I see where Davy Crater Chain is now. And it's right in the middle of a big long shadow that's being cast out there. And it's shielding that whole area because Davy and Davy Y show up nicely. And Davy G is easy to see. But the chain itself, I can Just make out, and I'11 take a picture - well, this is a skewed angle. I don't know if I can get it to show you, buy - they sure must not have much of a lip on them if they don't show. But, by the time we see them, they may be in a fairly high Sun.
CC: Roger; copy, Ken.
CMP: I'm taking a strip this time, anyhow, because it'11 around show all the area Davy. And there are some craters in there - an awful lot of them that have absolutely no rims, which seems to me - it looks entirely different than what you see and what you think of. These things are all very subdued. They Just drop in. And you see glows - in the iow Sun, you see the - you see the far lip before you see the near lip of the crater. Although there are a few that have raised rims and they - they kind of are the exception here instead of the rule. Whereas most low-Sun-angle places we see are - I'11 take a shot down just a little bit to the south there, and there the average is rimmed craters and very few rimless ones.
CC: Roger, Ken. And you're about 20 seconds from T-stop on the mapping camera.
CMP: Okay. Going to it. Thank you.
CMP: Okay; the MAPPING CAMERA is OFF. I'11 wait 30 seconds.
CMP: And, Hank, this system is really good. I don't have to give a second thought to - to what's going on. And just by not having to watch that clock, it just frees your hands to go do every- thing else that you want to do. It really - on the back side, I get all bent out of shape with myself because I get - I get behind. I start - You just don't have a chance to do anything ex- cept those items which are timelined A, B, C and do them in exactly the sequence that they give you.
CC: Roger. The only hitch to this is I get interested in what you're saying and I might forget.
CMP: (Laughter) Well (laughter), just remember, they go on your card, the back side goes on mine.
CC: Actually, though, I got a bunch of guys backing me up.
CMP: Well, I tell you, this place is so fascinating that you just - you Jut don't dare let anything go by. It's - You know, I think you could stay here a lifetime, and never see it all. I guess that's - that's kind of a silly statement because it's true in almost anywhere you go. It sure is dramatic. At first glance, particularly the back side looks like an old gypsum plant. It just looks like someone's poured stuff all over it, and just made it - and just tried to hide it, camouflage things. The more you look at it, then you start to pick out subtle differences. Un- fortunately, I'm not smart enough to know what these things mean, but I'm sure that we got some folks down there that certainly do. Maybe if we get enough data, why, they can piece it together.
CC: Are you in STANDBY now with that MAPPING CAMERA, Ken?
CMP: Yes, sir. I went to STANDBY and took the IMAGE MOTION, OFF.
CMP: Thank you. I forgot to tell you about it. 80/53 Tape
CMP: Paul, let me give you the reading on magazine SS before I forget it. I'm now at 35.
CMP: And I guess we could - I guess we could sort of say we have filled the - the Davy square. I don't thir_k we ought to keep trying that. Get a chance, why, we will, but I'm not going to keep trying after it.
CMP: And the zodiacal light I'11 keep on - keep on XX.
CC: Roger; XX.
CMP: ... for 20 seconds .... zodiacal light.
CMP: Oh, I'm sorry. I was playing my tape recorder back to myself.
CC: Ken, are you free right now?
CC: Roger. Are you free right now? Are you doing something?
CMP: I'm setting up the camera for the zodiacal light. What do you need?
CC: Okay. I was just thinking. In case we lose comm, there is one little change. After we get LOS, where you have to configure the DSE, since we've added then this mapping camera pass - oblique, we want to get HIGH BIT RATE instead of LOW BIT RATE.
CMP: Okay. Let me write that down. Figuring it says LOW, and you want me to go HIGH. Okay; and if you'd remind me of that just before LOS.
CC: Roger; intend to - and - in regard to your comments about King, was there any other thing back - on the back side that you had of interest?
CMP: I - i found a couple of items back - mostly to the - I think almost all of the things that I had a chance to look at this time were to the - to the west of King. Between there and about AOS, I had a chance to look at the swirls, and to look at King - and a - and a crater - I first felt like I'd found - my first comment was that if there's ever a crater on the Moon that's got stratigraphy exposed, that's got to be it. And I hope that's wrong because there wasn't anywhere I was looking. And I took a picture of that one, and there was another little bright-rayed guy - a little splashed-out crater that looks like so many of the bright-rayed ones, except that it seems like he's built up on a mound. Got this - got this nice mound with this real bright crater in the cen- ter of it. And all the bright-rayed material is splashed around it. That too was - that was about south of Fleming, I think - somewhere in that neighborhood.
CC: Okay; we'11 see if we can locate it.
CMP: Would you tell me - confirm how many frames are on the magazine XX. Is it 70, total?
CC: Ken, should be 48 total frames on the mag, and we show you 42 remaining.
CMP: Forty-eight total. Okay.
CMP: Okay; so I can take eight frames on this thing and still have plenty for the zodiacal light?
CMP: Okay; there's 1. This stuff isn't - just isn't as bright as it was even yesterday of - The first night it was really something.
CMP: There's number 2. And number 2 was not a part of a strip, but rather an interesting graben that runs through a crater. And I'm coming up on - I believe this is Grimaldi.
CC: Roger. We show you north of Grimaldi.
CMP: Why, that's where I recognized that - that double crater feature. Let's see -
CMP: You're right, I'm west. It's Riccioli.
CC: Can you see Riccioli C? That looks like in the map a double - a double-ring crater.
CMP: Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That's the one I thought was north of Grimaldi, and that's what I'm looking at here. Okay; this is the area where - I don't know if I can get a photo of the things I saw last night that were really interesting. They had some - it's not as bright - not sure I can see it all. Yeah, there it is. I don't know if this is gonna.
CMP: Okay, my third one here in this sequence was taken of the - of the crossed grabens in Grimaldi. And, as I commented before, when you look out in the dark, you get a very dramatic terminator, just like you do from the earthshine, just like you do from the - ... shine. And there's a place - I'11 try to get a picture of this, because it shows - there's this bright thing on the horizon, which is obviously a big mountain chain and I would - It sticks up quite a number of degrees above the horizon. Okay; I guess that's - that's all I'm gonna try to take in this sequence and I'11 get back to the - I'11 take one up to the north here. There's some more interesting things. We'11 still be safe.
CMP: Okay; okay, I'm now on frame 13. So that was frames whatever we had before up through 13. And I'm going back now to the zodiacal light configura- tion.
CMP: Sure do get some interesting sensations when you try to float around in a dark cockpit here, and you run into a camera or something, and you try to figure out what it was that just tapped you on the back.
CMP: Okay; we're in configuration for zodiacal light.
CMP: Did you want me to do this at 123:05, on time? Is that correct?
CC: Ken_, I guess you just don't start earlier than that.
CMP: I'm talking about the DSE now.
CC: Casper, Houston. Configure the DSE at 123:06.
CMP: 123:06, okay.
CC: I guess you can do that, and then start your zodiacal light any time after that.
CMP: The zodiacal light has to start on this pad time, I think.
CC: You're correct.
CMP: Heys Hank, if you run into Plenty [?] around there somewhere, you might tell him that - ask him to tell Stoner and Temple that all those hours they put in configuring the CMS so that it'd have the right stowage and all the little goodies'd be in place, has certainly paid off. Man, I can run around, and I can reach for things and get it all done without - without feeling like I'm pressed for time. And it's thanks to their keeping that thing in flight configurat ion.
CC: Okay. I'11 relate that, Ken.
CC: Casper, Houston. Yourre looking good at LOS, and you got about a minute to go. Don't forget your DSE.
CMP: Okay. Thank you very much. See you in about 40.
CDR-EVA: Yes, this is the South Ray - that's that big South Ray Crater - Ray, down here, I think.
LMP-EVA: You can see Eden Valley. You can see partially into Stubby. The Cinco Craters are very visible up there on the side.
CC: Is there any albedo difference when you're in a ray or Just the cobbles and boulders?
CDR-EVA: No, it's albedo.
LMP-EVA: There is no mistake in your mind when you're in a ray because of the blocks.
LMP-EVA: And the surface is a little bit lighter - the regolith. Blocks are very angular.
CDR-EVA: I'd like to sort of tack. I can see a lot better. Just a little north or a little south.
CC: Do you see both the white and the black and white, here?
LMP-EVA: It's mostly gray, Tony, with a - There's a big crater over there, John.
UNKNOWN: Okay, that's it. We're coming into the south of Plum. Okay, this is probably Plum right over here - No, I guess not. Plum is 40 meters; that's not nearly 40 meters.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony, I think we finally found Spook, here - or Flag, rather.
CC: Okay, did you notice that scarp that's mapped that you should have driven across?
LMP-EVA: No, didn't see it. It's all hilly and searpy here (laughter).
CC: Okay, do you notice a trend to the scarp? They all seem to be northeast.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, that's probably pretty close - northeast.
LMP-EVA: Okay, here - That's got to be it, John. But I don't see Plum. Unless this is it right here.
CDR-EVA: This is it right here, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: We are on the rim of it. Okay, we got to park on the other side about 40 meters up, do a 180 left. Well, Tony, we finally found it at 087 and 1.4.
CC: Good show. That's where it should be.
LMP-EVA: Okay. You guys had us mapped Just right then.
CDR-EVA: Man, you can't believe this territory.
LMP-EVA: It's all up and down. We're gonna be a little close here, John, but that's okay.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Tony, we're parking right on the rim of Plum. Dismounting.
LMP-EVA: Okay, your readings are 180, 088, 2.0, 1.4, 115, 115, 115. Amps are zero. Volts are 70, 68, 68, 100, 100. Rear motors all scale low; forward motors all scale low.
CC: Okay, we copy. You should be about 40 meters from Plum. Is that right?
LMP-EVA: No, we're not; we're right on the rim, if that's okay with you.
LMP-EVA: You can - you can -
CDR-EVA: You'11 be able to see everything we do.
LMP-EVA: Okay. For some reason, I'm not bouncing out of this thing like I thought I would.
CC: Are you still in the ray material there at Plum?
CC: Good. We don't want to be.
LMP-EVA: The ray material is just - the ray material is about 50 meters to the east of us, Tony.
LMP-EVA: Okay. We saw the boulders at Buster; we saw the northeast - we didn't see the northeast star. Okay, I got the displays, I'm going to get the pan up on the rim of Flag Crater. Yeow! Is that some crater, Tony! Whew! It's a smooth crater, very subdued, but it's really steep, and the - there's some smaller craters 10 meters or so on the side.
LMP-EVA: I can't even see the bottom where - right where we are.
CDR-EVA: That is spectacular.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. The sides are steep enough to cast a shadow from the Sun, so you can estimate from what our Sun angle is what the walls of that are.
CDR-EVA: Hey, is it okay if I turn you around to dust the snow out of your eyes, there?
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. To the north side of Spook, right on the - I keep calling it Spook - on Flag is a crater right on the inner rim, that has some blocks in it that are not too big, cobble size, I'd say.
CDR-EVA: That help any, Houston?
CC: We don't have a picture yet.
LMP-EVA: And -
LMP-EVA: Those ridges in, too.
CC: Charlie, don't fall in that thing.
LMP-EVA: I'm not gonna fall in it.
LMP-EVA: Boy, anybody that Judges Cayley Plains as a flat- land (laughter).
LMP-EVA: It's crazy ... Tony, the sides of this thing get pretty steep. I'm not going to get down too far, I can't see the bottom of it. And it's getting so steep I don't want to go any farther. Okay -
CC: Sounds like a good idea, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: On the southwest flank of Plum - on the southwest flank of Plum, we have a buried boulder, and it's about a meter across. And that's the only boulder we see of any consequence here at Plum. In Spook - in Flag, on the southwest rim about halfway down into the crater, we see a block that's sticking out, that 's very angular, that 's maybe 2 meters across, and it's in an area of whiter albedo. It's probably a buried block. I wouldn't call it bedrock. I see nothing that looks like bedrock.
CC: Okay, how far down from the rim are you?
LMP-EVA: Hey, John, ... Halfway.
UNKNOWN: A rake soil coming up.
LMP-EVA: And that's done at - up on Flag. I can do some sampling and radial along Flag. Oh, there's a great place for the rake, see, right up there?
CDR-EVA: Yeah, we don't even -
LMP-EVA: 12 o'clock? Yeah, I got the rake. Let's see, that's all I need. I can shovel -
CC: Okay, big eye is alive.
CDR-EVA: Okay; let's go.
LMP-EVA: Ah so, here we go! Hey, we're going up to where it's more cobbly, Tony, to get the rake sample. It's pretty smooth right here.
CC: Okay, the rake sample should be one crater diameter away from Plum. And it doesn't have to be -
CDR-EVA: From Plum?
CC: Right. And it doesn't have to be too cobhly there.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Okay, well, this - this is about it then, John.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, but I don't think any of - the rocks from here may have come from Plum, but they m_y b-e some other place, too.
UNKNOWN: let's do what they want us to do. right.
CDR-EVA: All
CC: Right; the intent was to get other things than Plum right there -
CDR-EVA: How about right out there, in my shadow? There's some right there that might be - -
CDR-EVA: I'm sure going to get them.
UNKNOWN: Okay, down-Sun, il-footer -
CDR-EVA: Right here, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Yeah, that's fine.
CC: And, John, if you get a chance, could we get a frame count from you?
LMP-EVA: Hey, Tony, I'm at 50, magazine Bravo.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I'm at 10, magazine Bravo. Charlie, you're standing in the shadow.
LMP-EVA: Sorry, I'm moving. Man, it's so easy to get around up here.
CDR-EVA: Okay, let's do it.
LMP-EVA: There's the locator. And we'11 start the old rake, for the first time. Get that beauty right there. Look at it come through that regolith, would you?
CC: Charlie, Houston. We'd like for you to check your primary water valve.
CC: Make sure it's open.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I'11 let John check it. I'm feeling good. Nice and cool. Can you check it?
CDR-EVA: Yeah. Wait a minute. I'm not sure it was all the way open. Yeah, it's open, Charlie; it's all the way open.
CDR-EVA: Houston; it's open all the way.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, I feel good cooling, Tony. Move out and let's get around out of the way there. Another rake. Okay, Tony, we got about -
CC: Okay, Charlie. We think you're about to run out of primary feedwater; stand by for the tone. Just press on there.
LMP-EVA: Already? Is that - is that right?
CC: That's affirmative. expecting
LMP-EVA: Go to MIN cooling. Okay, y'8_ll been it.
CDR-EVA: All the way up is MIN, isn't it, Houston?
CC: Yeah. man,
LMP-EVA: Hey, I'm losing all of those.
UNKNOWN: There's three little ones. Two little ones, now.
CDR-EVA: Hey, better get another one.
CDR-EVA: There's a pretty good one.
LMP-EVA: John, there's a glassy one right there. I can't tell what the other ones are.
CDR-EVA: I can't either. They're all dust coated. Do you want me to go low or high or what?
LMP-EVA: No, that's fine.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony, we got about a half a sackful going in bag -
CDR-EVA: 373.
LMP-EVA: 372.
CDR-EVA: 372.
LMP-EVA: 372 with three rakes. Over.
CC: Okay, we copy that. 372. And
LMP-EVA: there were lots of smaller ones, but they got - more smaller ones but they fell through the tines.
CC: Okay, we copy. I take it the soil isn't too cohesive here.
CDR-EVA: Hold the bag for a second.
LMP-EVA: No, they're just small.
LMP-EVA: If we'd picked another place - I can't get the top off.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, I got it.
LMP-EVA: Okay, John, if you'11 step aside, I'11 get a soil sample. Okay, there's the tone, Tony.
CDR-EVA: Want me to get your AU]( water ON? Want me to get it, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: AUX, I got it. AUX water is ON.
LMP-EVA: Hey, how much soil, Tony?
CDR-EVA: Kilo.
LMP-EVA: Kilo, huh. That's what I thought.
CC: That's right. One kilo.
LMP-EVA: That's about a kilo. One more scoopful?
CDR-EVA: Yeah. A little one.
LMP-EVA: Rock.
CDR-EVA: Almost looks like black soil.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Man, it's really soft here, Tony, on the rim. You don't sink far, but when you walk on it, it gets very -
CDR-EVA: That's the last time I do that with soil.
LMP-EVA: When you rake it (laughter) - Did it come out? ... You mean? Look at that gnomon already, would you? Look at the color chart?
CDR-EVA: Dropped dirt all over it (laughter). We'11 Just have to be more careful.
LMP-EVA: Okay, this _s 354. Going in bag 354, Houston.
CC: Okay, 354.
LMP-EVA: Hey, Tony, is the feedwater pressure coming back up again ?
LMP-EVA: Okay; I don't feel it. We ought to start from here, John, and do a radial sampling in towards Plum.
LMP-EVA: Okay, why don't you go ahead and get started and I go get the shovel. Okay?
LMP-EVA: Tony, I went to MINIMUM on my coolant.
LMP-EVA: Hey, was that about what time you expected or was I - am I using it faster than normal?
CC: Ah, you're using it just a hair faster. We'11 probably take a couple minutes off the EVA, but it's nothing real bad.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I feel like what happened is that I've been on - a little bit more than minimum cooling. About pushed the Rover over.
CC: Charlie, Houston. We don't want you to stay in MIN cooling if you need more cooling than that. You don't really buy anything, you just store it and have to pay it off later.
LMP-EVA: Understand. Understand. I was just telling you what the circumstances were.
LMP-EVA: Thank you for the reminder.
LMP-EVA: What are you picking up? That little old thing?
CDR-EVA: Charlie, that's as good as any of them.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) It looks like it is gonna come apart, though, to me.
CDR-EVA: It might. There's three or four samples right there we can get.
LMP-EVA: I'm just trying to turn my feedwater on a little bit. I'11 get these in the shovel.
CDR-EVA: Okay. that thing in the - -
CC: Okay, are all of these rocks looking pretty much the same?
LMP-EVA: They are all covered, Tony.
CDR-EVA: All got covers.
LMP-EVA: Dust.
CDR-EVA: What do you need, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Bag.
LMP-EVA: One. angular.
CDR-EVA: They're angular,
LMP-EVA: All though, I'11 tell you that. Here's one with a white streak, looks like a caliche streak through it. Leave it. That's all; it's a white rock.
LMP-EVA: You have four samples, John. Is that good enough?
CDR-EVA: Yeah. That's in bag 371, Houston.
CC: Okay; 371.
LMP-EVA: Hey, wait a minute; we need a soil from there.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Put this in your bag.
LMP-EVA: Okay; come on over.
LMP-EVA: Man, that crater. That is really something. Tony, on the west side of Flag, there is a small crater maybe 2 to 3 meters across; it's real fresh, has some real bright rays, and you can see a blocky interior. Wait a minute, John, Just let me shoot. There you go.
LMP-EVA: Okay. And that's about a third of the way down from the rim. Wish we could see the bottom.
CDR-EVA: That's going in bag 363, Houston. 363.
CC: Okay, 363.
CDR-EVA: Let me get up to that, Charlie.
UNKNOWN: Okay, I'11 move.
CDR-EVA: I'11 have to get it from the other side.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Here's one right here, John, that'11 make a good one. See that one right there by that footprint? That's a good sample size. About 5 centimeters across?
CDR-EVA: That one right?
LMP-EVA: No, that one right here to the right of my shadow. See, right there. Let me show you. Okay.
LMP-EVA: Right here. See?
LMP-EVA: Okay. It's an angular subangular rock, Houston, 5 centimeters. I can see some white clast shining through it.
CDR-EVA: Bet it's dust covered again.
LMP-EVA: It's all - everything here is dust covered.
LMP-EVA: Got that beauty.
CDR-EVA: That's enough.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony, it's a white matrix; it's a breccia, looks like, white clast with some greenish-looking, very small millimeter-sized phenocryst in a black matrix.
CDR-EVA: Goes in bag 364, Houston.
CC: Okay, 364.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Let me get that soil sample.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, wait a minute. Let me get out - bounce out of the way here. Uh-oh, John - fell off.
CDR-EVA: You're bouncing too high.
LMP-EVA: No.- Did you close _
CDR-EVA: I'11 get it. No. I didn't close the top.
CDR-EVA: And I didn't stuff it down in there.
CDR-EVA: Just about fell down.
UNKNOWN: I not you. Got it. Two-man job.
LMP-EVA: Tony, it's really spongy here. The regotith is Just real loose and noncompacted if that's a - unconsolidated is the word I'm searching for.
CC: Ail right; we copy. Can you see where the TV is pointed?
LMP-EVA: Yes. It's pointed down towards South Ray.
CC: Right. Over to the right on the edge of Plum there, looks like there might be rock with some phenocryst in it. If you're over that way, you might look around and see if you see something like that. It may have Just been dust on it.
LMP-EVA: Okay, there's a big rock on - that I've already described. Did you get the ... there, John.
CDR-EVA: Yes, I've got the ......
LMP-EVA: Okay, coming up.
LMP-EVA: Bags are a pain, aren't they? Okay.
CDR-EVA: It's going in bag 356, Houston. Soil sample.
CC: Okay, 356.
CDR-EVA: And after this - -
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. I'm on frame count now 24.
LMP-EVA: Hey, there's one right on the rim we can get.
LMP-EVA: There's a good size one right over here by my footprint. Actually, I took pan i where pan 2 should have been. Okay, looking down into Plum, Tony, there is some cobbles and things on the inner rim. But they aren't very large - maybe 30 centimeters or so is the biggest.
CDR-EVA: Want to get some of these here, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Yeah, that's great. That definitely is a breccia right there, John.
CDR-EVA: Yes, see the clast in it.
CDR-EVA: I forgot - I even forgot to ask locator on that last.
LMP-EVA: No, wait a minute, I think ... That's the way that thing - the way that color chart is so covered with dust, it won't matter anyway.
CDR-EVA: I know - I'11 clean it off. Go out and get this one. How we doing on time, Tony?
CC: Okay, you've got about 23 minutes left, here.
LMP-EVA: Twenty-three! Hum.
LMP-EVA: We can pick up a lot of rocks in 20 - Hey, I'd like to go to the other side, John, of Plum be- cause those rocks over there aren't dust covered, if you can see them.
CDR-EVA: That's a good idea, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: See right out there towards South Ray?
LMP-EVA: Those rocks don't look as dust covered as these. Uh-oh, I missed. Wait a minute.
CC: Nice juggling.
LMP-EVA: Well, it wasn't dust covered. Well, we missed it. But things really fly up here - I'm amazed.
CC: You guys sure have dirty hands.
CDR-EVA: My first guess is it is a breccia with white clast in it. And I see lineations all along it, in the breccia. It's a white clast breccia is what it is. I see no other clast in it. Of course, once you get the dirt off of it might all be white. At first cut, it would be a white clast breccia. Going into 362.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. This one is a- same spot - is a breccia with a white matrix - is glass coated on one side and then typical glass - lunar-surface glass coating.
CC: Okay, we copy that. And when you're through with this site, you can press on around Plum if you like.
LMP-EVA: Okay, we'd like to. There is a big boulder over there, and there are some blocks that aren't - that are sitting out and aren't filleted. We'd like to try over there. See what ...
CC: Okay, use your discretion. You've got the time.
LMP-EVA: Here, John, why don't you grab that line, that crummy thing!
CDR-EVA: Okay, those are big glass, aren't they?
LMP-EVA: Yes. See that glass right there, on the top?
LMP-EVA: Okay; Tony, the general terrain here is sloping off to the south - Correction - Yes, southwest at about i to 2 degrees, and the Plum, excuse me, Flag Crater is on this - it's about to the top of this big ridge that slopes off generally to the southwest to the west of South Ray. Over.
CC: Okay; some of the boulders you see around there, do they have fillets and, if so, are they built up on any particular side?
CDR-EVA: That's rock bag 352, Houston.
CC: Okay, 352.
CDR-EVA: I take it back; that's rock bag number 2.
CC: (Laughter) Okay; number 2.
LMP-EVA: Come on. Stick her in; let's go.
LMP-EVA: Man, is it dark in those shadows. Want to get an after there, John? I'11 get a - get it?
LMP-EVA: Okay, soil sample coming up ....
CDR-EVA: (Cough) Okay, that soil sample's in bag 369, Houston.
CC: Okay, 369.
LMP-EVA: 369.
CDR-EVA: Charlie, you're gonna fall down here with all these rocks.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) No. I'11 give you the shovel in Just and a minute when I fill up, we'11 swap.
LMP-EVA: This shovel is a great tool, I'11 tell you.
CDR-EVA: Dadgum.
LMP-EVA: Oh, boy. Man, here comes the Bobbsey Twins.
CC: You guys look like you're having a ball.
CDR-EVA: We are. It really is fun.
LMP-EVA: Now, John! Look - look at that footprint. Look underneath that regolith. When you kicked that up a meter - centimeter or so, under it is white, absolutely white, right here.
CDR-EVA: Well, take your old thing and do an exploratory there for a while. Let's suggest that.
LMP-EVA: Look! Look at that. Come over here.
CC: How about doing a skim right here?
LMP-EVA: Won't you look here? Okay, the top -
CDR-EVA: ... perfect ...
CC: Okay, I guess we'd just like a scoop here and no skim.
CDR-EVA: Charlie's right everywhere -
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony, let me describe what it is. The top centimeter of the regolith is gray, and you get down under that, and it's white.
CC: Roger; we copy that.
LMP-EVA: ... different albedo - three shades different.
CDR-EVA: You ought to be able to see that in the TV right there, Houston.
CC: Right, we can.
LMP-EVA: I'11 dig you - dig you a little trench here. Boy, John. Can that's going to be a hard job, you see and that, Houston? We'11 sample right there get underlying you a scoopful of this regolith.
CC: Okay, I guess -
LMP-EVA: It's a different albedo; it's amazing.
CC: Charlie, we can see that here. Why don't you go ahead and get a bag of the dark and a bag of the light, and then we'11 press on to that block from the northwest side.
CC: Boy, my kids don't get as dirty as you are.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) We're having - I bet they having - don't have as much fun either.
CC: I bet you're right.
CDR-EVA: It sure is neat here. Okay; let me get a shovelful of this, right off the top here. There we go.
LMP-EVA: Now look at that finger. Picked that up with one finger.
CC: Ah, the delicate touch.
LMP-EVA: John, we're going to have to change that bag dis- penser. That is terrible.
CDR-EVA: Is there another one? Do we have another one?
LMP-EVA: Yeah, we have another one under my seat.
LMP-EVA: Okay. 81/19 Tape
CDR-EVA: That is going - that top scoop is going in bag 352, Hou st on.
LMP-EVA: Y'all know how good that - water stuff tastes. Ah! Try to get way down there, John, and get a - Uh-oh.
CDR-EVA: Uh-Oh, what?
LMP-EVA: I Just - had a good scoopful, and I lost it. Let me dig out a little - another little trench. There. There she be. Coming up all white. That's all that's in there, John.
CDR-EVA: Okay. And it's going into bag 357.
CC: Okay, 357. You fellows are really packing them away there.
CC: How do you feel, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Fine, great. Tony, I can't get a locator. You know we're right on the rim of -
CC: We've located it on TV, so we have it.
LMP-EVA: Ail right. Okay; we're going over to the big boulder.
LMP-EVA: Man, you can't see anything down-Sun - down-phase, John. Tony, looking- -
CDR-EVA: That's what I was trying to tell you, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: - - looking down-Stm here, down-phase at this area downslope, you get a definite feeling of lineations that run southwest, northeast - from Stone Mountain. There's sort of little furrowed ridges, and pits, and things.
CC: Okay, you don't see any sharp scarps or anything like that, though?
UNKNOWN: No, sir; no, nothing like on that map.
CDR-EVA: Although, it's worse. Boy, I'11 tell you, there's holes that - especially in zero phase.
CDR-EVA: Now I'm out of water, drinking water, that is. Okay.
LMP-EVA: Hey, John, you want to try just a piece of that?
CDR-EVA: Look at that, Charliel
LMP-EVA: What's that?
CDR-EVA: That thing has - has greenish-black clast in it. Right there in that boulder, there?
LMP-EVA: Looks like it to me, too, yeah. Let's see if we can get a piece of that. Okay, Tony, this is a subrounded rock - boulder that's a meter to a meter and a half across, it has a predominant fracture set of 20 centimeters on the side that run here, southeast - Correction, southwest northeast. It's the predominant fracture set.
LMP-EVA: And it's partially buried.
LMP-EVA: Okay. And John, over here also as we move around, that very white material is right under the - right under John's feet. I'11 take a picture of that. And he's really changed the albedo by kicking into this little crater by this big rock. Going to get all - Ah, here he comes, folks. He's got the h_mmer out, I knew he couldn't resist.
CDR-EVA: I don't know if this will work or not, Charlie, but it couldn't pick a better spot. Here we go.
LMP-EVA: Going to do it. There's a piece. Let me hold you down a little bit. Hot dog! He did it. It's a very friable rock, apparently, Houston.
CC: Okay; outstanding.
CDR-EVA: Charlie, don't do that, let me do it.
LMP-EVA: I got it. Leaning on the shovel. Okay, Houston, it's got some green clast, some white clast, a grayish matrix. The clasts are millimeter size and make up 5 percent of the rock. One big crystal, 5 millimeters across, but I can't tell what it is. But it's a beauty.
CC: Okay; you think they're still breccia?
LMP-EVA: I'm not sure, John, I think it might be - Yeah, I think it's a breccia, really, very friable.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, it has - it's a breccia, Houston.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, uh-huh.
CDR-EVA: Well, no - it's not really. It's a breccia, and I can see at least - like Charlie said, there are two or three different type clasts in it. It's Just a one-stage breccia, though, it looks like. It's going into bag 353.
CC: Okay, 353; and you said about - -
CC: - - you got about 9 minutes until you have to leave.
LMP-EVA: Ail right. We'd like to go out and get one of those sharp rocks and a soil sample here.
CC: Okay, sounds good. And while you're taking pictures there, can you take some pictures of the lineations on the ground you talked about?
LMP-EVA: Yeah, I'11 do that when I get to the right spot.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I'm taking a soil sample of the fillet around this rock.
LMP-EVA: Boulder. John, you Just whacked that beauty right off of there.
CDR-EVA: Like you say, it's friable (laughter). I hit it on a fracture set, too.
LMP-EVA: Yeah. Turn the shovel that way.
CDR-EVA: 368 this stuff is going into, Houston.
CC: Okay, 368, the soil.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I'11 get the after on that, John. Okay?
CDR-EVA: Charlie's getting the after on that soil in 368.
CC: If you have time, can we do a second pan from here?
CDR-EVA: Yeah, I'm supposed to do that, ain't I?
LMP-EVA: Yeah, I was just thinking about that. That'd be a good idea. We're right on the rim of - we're really right on the rim - there's rocks right on the rim of - both Plum and Flag. 81/23 Tape
CDR-EVA: My guess is that the rock is the way - it's laid in here, it's probably from the bottom of Plum, somewhere, or down there somewhere.
LMP-EVA: Okay, John, I'm going to go over here and get some of these lineations.
LMP-EVA: Close up. Get something out there for scale. Tony, the lineations might be - might be Just the - I think really what it is is the shadows cast by the Sun, because the regolith is so unconsolidated - loosely packed.
CC: Roger. I think you're probably right, but it makes a good study.
LMP-EVA: In fact, I'm convinced of that. And, okay - that's two stereo from 7 feet.
LMP-EVA: John, you are Just beautiful. That is - that is - the most beautiful sight.
UNKNOWN: You standing there on the rim of that crater.
CC: Doggone. I've never heard John described as beautiful.
LMP-EVA: No. Well, he's not - real -weil, actually, he is on this thing; I'11 tell you. Hi, there.
LMP-EVA: Hey, John, I'm going to run on out and look at some of these angular ones out here.
LMP-EVA: Tony, those lineations are definit - definitely due to the shadows on this loose regolith.
CC: Okay. We're going to have to hustle you on pretty soon, so you better grab those angular rocks.
CDR-EVA: That pan takes me through frame 53.
CC: Okay; 53.
LMP-EVA: Tony, I'11 document this one while John get - coming over with the scoop. In place is a gnomon.
CC: Okay, fine. Boy, this TV sure makes it fun.
CDR-EVA: And we real - really make good time around here.
CDR-EVA: Did you get that biggy, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: That one right there is what I'm gonna get. Think it will go in the bag?
LMP-EVA: Try it. This is a great way to do it, leaning on this shovel. It might go in the bag, John.
CDR-EVA: Nah, Charlie.
CDR-EVA: Let's not even try it.
UNKNOWN: Don't want to try it? Okay; this angular rock is too big for a bag, and it's got some glass on it and I think it's a breccia also, Tony. It's going in John's SRC.
CC: Okay, and it's time to go back and pack up.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Gosh! I see what you mean, babe.
CDR-EVA: Hey, you can't get the top off.
LMP-EVA: Get the top off? Now just pull it off with your things there.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I figured I was going to do that.
CDR-EVA: Can't believe that terrain, Houston.
LMP-EVA: Here you go, John. Why don't you carry it back?
CC: You're right. That's pretty spectacular.
CDR-EVA: Let's just lay it - let's Just lay it in the seat.
LMP-EVA: Here we come!
CC: Okay, we see you.
LMP-EVA: Ready or not.
CDR-EVA: Here's my hnmmer ring, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: BoyI How did that come out?
LMP-EVA: I'11 get it, John. I can do it with a shovel easy. I'm glad you saw that.
LMP-EVA: Have you got everything?
LMP-EVA: Give me some. I can carry something. Hey, it's in there. It's not in your pocket. There it goes. Times flies.
LMP-EVA: Man, I can't wait to get back to Buster, Tony.
LMP-EVA: It's really some crater.
CC: As you come around there, there is a rock in the near field on this rim that has some white on the top of it. We'd like you to pick it up as a grab sample.
LMP-EVA: This one right here?
CC: That's it. You got it, right there.
LMP-EVA: Okay, that's a -
CDR-EVA: That's a football-size rock.
LMP-EVA: It's a "Dave Scott" size.
CDR-EVA: Are you sure you want a rock that big, Houston?
CC: Yeah, let's go ahead and get it.
CDR-EVA: That's 20 pounds of rock right there.
LMP-EVA: Okay. It has some big clasts in it, John.
LMP-EVA: If I fall into Plum Crater getting this rock Falburger [?] has had it.
CC: We agree.
LMP-EVA: Okay; I've got it. That's 20 pounds of - that's 20 pounds of rock!
CDR-EVA: You want to put it in here, Charlie? I'd Just as soon you didn't.
LMP-EVA: Look at the size of that.
LMP-EVA: Oh, Tony, it's got some beautiful crystals in it though. That was a good guess.
LMP-EVA: Okay, put it in there, John.
CDR-EVA: Put it in where?
LMP-EVA: In your SCB.
CDR-EVA: I don't think it'11 fit. Don't think it will fit.
LMP-EVA: It ain't gonna fit.
CDR-EVA: Put it under your seat.
LMP-EVA: Yeah. Kind of dusty. Hey, do you want some more bags here?
LMP-EVA: Okay, here you - here's you a good one. Okay, Tony, I'm gonna put that little glass ball - that I haven't sacked yet - Look at that, John.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, it is a big piece of glass.
LMP-EVA: Solid glass.
CDR-EVA: Black glass.
LMP-EVA: Going into bag - 4.
CC: Okay; we'11 need an EMU check before you drive off.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, I'm running at 48 percent; 3.87. I'm on halfway between INTERMEDIATE and TERMINAL [? ] and I didn't have any flags. We got to do something with this bag before we leave, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Put it under your seat. Under my seat.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony, I'm clear on the flags. My frame count is 65; got -
CDR-EVA: What you got, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Looks like I'm about 35 percent, and I'm between INTER_:uIATE and MIN; and I'm at 3.85.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, make sure you're in MINI guess, before we get in and start driving.
LMP-EVA: Yeah. Going to MIN. That's a good point. Thanks.
LMP-EVA: Beeps. Single bound.
CDR-EVA: MODE switch is going to 1, Houston.
CDR-EVA: I'm going to position your TV horizontal and CCW, which it almost is.
LMP-EVA: It is. You saved me a lot of work there.
LMP-EVA: Ah-oh.
CDR-EVA: What's the matter, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Oh, my seatbelt came off my ring. Can you get it for me, John?
LMP-EVA: Will you get in -
CDR-EVA: I couldn't see it - Oh, there it is. Let me get it for you.
LMP-EVA: Thanks.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, you got it.
LMP-EVA: Boy, this is a nice belt.
CDR-EVA: Okay, we're in MODE switch 1 on the TV. Oh, to
CDR-EVA: Can you see my pin over there, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Can I see what?
CDR-EVA: Can you see whether I'm about to pull out my pin or not ?
LMP-EVA: Pull up your tent?
CDR-EVA: Pull out my pin.
LMP-EVA: Oh, I can't see. No, it doesn't look like it.
CDR-EVA: Man, are we filthy!
CDR-EVA: Go to ...
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony, we're Just about underway.
CDR-EVA: Okay; we're going to follow our footsteps back.
LMP-EVA: Okay, that's a good idea.
LMP-EVA: Tony, did you read?
CC: Yeah, we sure did. Okay, and we're looking at - -
LMP-EVA: Okay; we're underway.
CC: Okay, we're looking at a few changes there at Spook. We're going to cut that station down to about 19 minutes. And if you get there in time, we'11 have John go ahead as nominal and do the LPM. And then we'11 end the LPM site measurement. And Charlie, you can do you 500 millimeter near the edge of Spook, and do a pan near the rim of Spook, and why don't you do a couple of samples of Buster if you have time left. And that'11 be our station 2.
LMP-EVA: Okay, why the cutback?
CC: Okay; it's your water consumption there, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Ah, rats! Okay.
CC: That's all right - it's - you're getting some really good geology there. Don't feel bad.
LMP-EVA: Okay; we're making good time going back, and it's easier looking - going up-Sun. You can see the craters a lot better. The regolith - the charac- teristics of the regolith are the same.
CDR-EVA: Are you using the 16, Charlie?
CDR-EVA: Well, it ain't easier for me. If I wasn't follow- ing these tracks, it would be bad - up-Sun or down- Sun - it's bad for driving.
CC: Roger. We figured it probably would be.
LMP-EVA: You're making great time, John. We're doing - we're doing 11 clicks.
LMP-EVA: Superl
CC: The Grand Prix driver is at it again.
LMP-EVA: Barney Oldfield.
CDR-EVA: I can follow a road.
CC: Back to the on-off switch mode. John, did you dust that TV lens?
CDR-EVA: I dusted it somewhere.
CDR-EVA: I don't remember if it was that station or not.
CC: Okay, I guess we'11 need it dusted again at this next stop.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. As I look up-Sun here - going back through the - you can see these lineations, mostly furrows, I'd call them, with random orientation. And they're definitely the Sun casting shadows on unconsolidated regolith.
LMP-LM: You can't believe how up and down this is, Tony.
CC: How about when you're driving across rays? You noticed any difference in the Rover tracks?
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) I notice an increase in block popula- tion. But the tracks you can't see - they,re behind you.
