CDR: Who stole my ...? (Cough) Boy, ..., didn't I?
CMP: Thank you, Davey. TIME SKIP
LMP: What are you doing there, man?
LMP: Did you find it?
LMP: Yes, I wouldn't know the switches on it.
CDR: Houston, Apollo 15.
CC: Apollo 15, go.
CDR: Hi, Bob; got a presleep checklist for you.
CC: We're ready.
CC: Dave, hold on. We got a ...
CC: Okay, 15, we're back with you. We Just had a site changeover.
CDR: Okay. Crew status is all good; no medication. And I've got the onboard read-outs, if you've got a pencil.
CC: I've got a pencil.
CDR: All righty. Starting with BAT C: 37.0, 37.0, 37.0; RCS A is 56, B is 50, 48, and 52. And I guess everything else has been done, and you should have got your E-memory dump. We pressurized the cabin with the OPS, and when we got to about 57 or 58, the OPS was down to 800. And I reckon that's the size of it.
CC: Roger, Dave. That sounds like the size of it to us. We copy all that, and there will be no vector up- date. Ground says your vector %s just as good as theirs right now_
CDR: How about that? Oh, that's pretty good. We got a good navigator.
CC: And, 15, let's hold a couple of minutes while we check some data on the SIM bay and then we'11 go to the MOCR one more time. And we'11 be back with you in final status, I hope.
CDR: (Laughter) Okay, we got - we got time. We're not quite ready to go to bed yet.
CDR: (Laughter) Bob says, if he - says, okay, let me go around to the MOCR and check it and come back with your final status, I hope.
CDR: But, you know, they got to old Joe, I can tell. Joe's changed. He's a changed man. They had him, boy.
LMP: They did?
CDR: They were all over his ass during that EVA. He was Just really humping. That poor fellow - I bet he's exhausted.
CDR: He probably had so damn many inputs, he didn't know which way to go.
CMP: ... apart.
CDR: Oh, he's pretty close to them. That - that group's all tied together pretty well. Yes. It was in pretty good shape. We got all those guys out on the field trips and sat down and talked to all of them, and that- that group's pretty well squared away.
CDR: No, they're in the back room. And the guy who really comes up to him is Jerry Griffith.
CDR: He's really the experiments officer. But - -
LMP: Who's Jerry Griffith?
CDR: And - But it really goes from Gordon Swann through Griffith to the Flight Director to Joe. And it's - it's a straight loop because Griffith and Griffin both understand the problem, so it - it isn't any big deal. Except that all the other people who aren't in the loop and don't understand were there - all the guys up in the back row with their input - with them.
CDR: Jerry Griffin said he - one of his main problems was going to be holding the people off behind him - you know, to let Joe do his Job, and I'm sure it was ... - especially when they can see it all on the TV. And they're clanked - -
LMP: They're all there?
CDR: Yes. They're all clanked up anyway. Then we go up on top of some big frigging mountain or stand right next to some big frigging valley, and, you know, they can't do anything about it; they're all bunched up like a nickel cigar.
LMP: ... They ... and ....
CDR: Yes. DAY 12
CMP: It's a quiet morning.
CMP: Maybe that means that they come from the Sun. Huh?
CMP: Very interes%ing. Or that the window shield's cutting them off.
CDR: No, we had the window shields up before.
CMP: Did we?
CDR: Because we had them - the cockpit all dark.
CMP: Be dark. Yes.
CDR: Yes, that's right. We did. The only difference now is that the Sun's behind - -
CMP: We're not - we're not pointed at the Sun - Yes. And the Moon's behind us. Some place behind the Sun. Isn't it?
CDR: No. No, nobody's behind the Sun to us.
CMP: Hey, we - You know, we're not shielded - we're not - Gee, I don't know.
CMP: We may not be in orientation in PTC to be looking at the Sun either. Well, that shouldn't make any difference yet. Were we in PTC when we did it before?
CDR: I think so. Because I remember thinking, "How are they going to figure the attitude?" They'd have to get it off the - the data.
CDR: Yes, I see. The - the Sun - will soon be behind the Earth, right?
CMP: Yes, should be.
CDR: So, if the Sun is close to being behind the Earth right now, maybe the Earth will shield it.
CMP: Oh, you mean warpage in the pausal tail?
CMP: That could be. It comes out in a - in a pinwheel fashion.
CMP: Although I saw some last night when I went to sleep.
CDR: Yes, I did, too.
CDR: That's good, Jim. Is that an hour? (Laughter)
CMP: (Laughter) Change the sheet.
CDR: Wake up, Jim (laughter).
CMP: (Laughter) ... Houston (laughter). You're ... - -
CMP: - - for minutes.
CDR: Ail you got to do is repeat that 10 times now, Jim.
LMP: Boy, that was fast.
CDR: Maybe we've been desensitized to them.
CDR: Houston, 15. We're still here. It Just looks like a quiet morning.
CC: Roger. Glad you're still awake. Keep on looking for the cosmic rays.
CDR: Looking as hard as we can.
CDR: Absolutely nothing. Very amazing.
CDR: MARK CDR. Yes, down on the left eye at about 7 o'clock; intensity about 2. Point source of light.
CMP: I guess we can get ready then. They're starting to come.
LMP: MARK LMP. Flash at 8 o'clock on the periphery; intensity 2.
CDR: MARK CDR. It was in the left eye at 6 o'clock at about a third of the way from the center out; in- tensity 3; point source of light.
CMP: You two guys must be shielding me.
CDR: MARK CDR. It was in the left eye about 2 o'clock; a quarter of the way in; intensity l; point source. Yes, we're taking it all for you, Al.
CMP: You must be.
LMP: I think Dave's imagining all these.
CDR: Got to do something for the ... - -
CMP: ... he's gotten to the point where he's conjuring them up on me.
CDR: Dedicating my imagination to science.
CMP: Right. Protecting all those who go after you.
CDR: Wait until you see how many I'm going to see in the last minute (laughter).
CMP: Confound that curve.
CMP: MARK CMP.
CDR: Yay!
CMP: Left eye; dead center; intensity 2; point source. Only ones I can see are the ones that hit me right between the eyes like a ...
CMP: MARK CMl°. Right eye; about i o'clock; 2/3rds of the way out; intensity 2; and a little streaking - some towards the center of the eye - about another third of the way down.
LMP: Do you have your eyelids closed?
CMP: MARK CNP. Two flashes: one at 9 o'clock in the left eye and one at 6 o'clock in the left eye; both intensity 3. Yes, my eyes are closed, Jim.
LMP: Your eyelids are closed.
CDR: Yes. Me, too.
CDR: ° Your eyelids aren't going to stop anything.
LMP: Don't think so. Just want to get consistent data.
LMP: MARK LMP. Flash; one at 4 o'clock, halfway out; another one at 2 o'clock on the periphery; intensity 3.
CMP: MARK CMP. Two o'clock; almost on the periphery; and intensity between 3 and 4. Bright one.
CMP: MARK CMP. Two o'clock; streak from right to left; centered about the 2 o'clock radial; about halfway out; intensity 2.
LMP: MARK LMP. It was a streak; right eye; moving from the top down toward the bottom, intensity 4.
CDR: Maybe we get adapted to it.
CMP: Mmml I suppose so.
CDR: You build up an immunity.
CDR: Or maybe it's destroyed so many brain cells we don't have any ... left for it.
CMP: You know, that's right. Maybe that's it. Mmm. Our sensitivity is so dulled - -
CMP: - - that we Just don't see them anymore.
CDR: A lot of people would probably agree with that.
LMP: _-bmm.
CDR: That's why we're doing them to begin with. Because people are worried about that, I guess.
LMP: Well, I wonder if we're the same distance on the trajectory as we were when we did it on the way out?
CDR: (Yawn) I don't know.
LMP: Is that the idea _ to be in the same spatial rela- tion? Yes, we could look - -
CMP: MARK CMP. Right eye; dead center; point source; intensity B.
LMP: We could look at the Flight Plan when we get through. The distances are in there.
CMP: Mm-hmm. Yes. We could always figure it out.
LMP: MARK LMP. It was a streak; left eye; top to bottom; intensity 2; it was right at the periphery.
LMP: MARK LMP. Again it was a streak; it was - appeared to be in both eyes; moving from I o'clock toward the center; intensity 3.
LMP: MARK LMP. A flash; 2 o'clock; periphery; inten- sity 2.
CMP: MARK CMP. Right eye; 11 o'clock; about halfway out; point source; intensity 3. 2/3rds
CMP: MARK CMP. Left eye; about 10 o'clock, of the way out; point source; intensity 3.
LMP: MARK LMP. Flash; position 2 on the periphery; right eye; intensity 2.
LMP: MARK LMP. Same position; intensity 4; flash. TIME SKIP
CDR: And on top of A-2, we have the ISA decontam bag, for 64 pounds.
CDR: Okay. A-3, A-4, A-5, and A-6 - as you have on your list right now.
CDR: A-7 is as you have on your list, with an addition of the LM DAC and the LM 70-millimeter camera that failed on the surface, which we thought you might like to take a look at it. All
CC: right, both those are - are added items, I take it?
CDR: Inside of A-7 is the EVA umbilical and bag as p - p - prescribed.
CDR: Top of A-7 is sample collection bag - Oh, stand by. Oh, shoot, we didn't scratch this out. Dad gum it.
CDR: You don't - On top of A-l, we don't have number 2. We moved it over here to top of A-7. We've got the LM items, right? Only. Just the LM items on top of the - -
CDR: - - of - of A-l? That's right. Okay, let me - let me go back smd make a correction here, Karl. Look over in the left-hand col_mn where it says top of A-l, and scratch "Sample collection bag number 2."
CDR: And then go back to your right-hand colt,mu there. On top of A-7, we have a - a decontam bag with sample collection bag number 2 and the BSLSS bag, for a total of 48 pounds.
CDR: Okay. The BS-millimeter bracket in the bag, we're going to put that in the - -
CC: - - I clarify that - both of those bags - -
LMP: That's going to go in there.
CC: - - together were 48 pounds, or do I also put over the 20 - the 23 pounds we had on A-l?
CDR: No, the total of collection bag number 2 plus the BSLSS is 48 pounds.
CDR: And you can scratch the collection bag number 2 for 23 off of A-1.
CDR: Okay. And then, in A-8, it's stowed as pre - -
LMP: - - to have some wet packs. I think I'11 finish what I have, and then I still - Yes, I'11 hit the wet packs.
CDR: You got l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 wet packs. Hey, we're in - -
CMP: That's enough to keep us alive.
CMP: Do we have - How many deals do we have to mark? Two?
CDR: Just two. Let me stick that in there, too.
CMP: Great. I think, Just to clean this place out a little bit, I'm going to take some of these bacon squares and throw them.
CDR: Yes (laughter). It's probably a good idea.
CMP: As a matter of fact, we could consolidate a lot of this stuff.
CMP: We could use these bags for garbage bags.
LMP: You dropped yours.
CDR: God damn! Dropped it on the floor. Lord a'mighty.
CDR: Get what you want?
LMP: Oh, a little spaghetti. I had some for breakfast; it wasn't bad. A vast spectrum.
CDR: Two meals tomorrow, breakfast, and two more meals today - -
LMP: One - two - Uh-oh, we'11 have to eat - to eat fast, to eat it all up.
CMP: No, I don't think so (laughter). I think we're going to be there.
CDR: Do you guys think - -
CMP: We've got 10 wet packs.
CDR: Ten wet packs, huh?
CMP: Yes, one for lunch, one for dinner, and - one for tomorrow.
CDR: Want a wet pack, Jimmy?
LMP: Yes, I'11 probably take one as long as you got them out.
CDR: Anybody tried the beef stew?
LMP: Yes, I have a beef stew here.
CDR: Mine was pretty good.
CDR: I'11 try one.
CDR: You want to try one?
CDR: Pretty interesting.
CMP: Have a wet pack.
CMP: ... get the drinks out here.
CDR: And right now you got a P52.
CDR: Just to stir you up a little bit.
CMP: Okay. Here's the beverage.
LMP: Okay. What kind of beverage do you want here, Dave?
CDR: I can't take anything but water, grape, and cocoa. I'm through with that other stuff. Somebody ought to - -
LMP: There's one grape left.
CDR: Well, you can have it.
LMP: Getting lucky.
CDR: I don't care. I'11 Just drink water.
LMP: Oh, I - I'd like the grape, too.
CDR: I can't take anymore. I've had 21 days of those Juices, and that's all I can handle.
LMP: Yes. I'm with you, pal. I feel that way about a lot of this stuff. Well, what do you want to drink, Al? Did you get your drink?
CMP: No, not yet.
LMP: Do you want an orange?
CMP: Yes, I don't guess there's any pineapple left, is there?
LMP: There's a pineapple-orange.
CDR: Is there a pineapple-orange in there?
CMP: Yes, that's what I'd like.
LMP: No, I take that back. There's an orange-grapefruit. There's no - no pineapple. What's your choice?
CMP: Oh, I'11 have an orange.
CDR: Is that P52 due now?
CDR: Okay. Jim, put these back. TIME SKIP
CC: Apollo 15, this is Houston. We'd like to have you retract the mass spectrometer boom for 85 seconds.
CMP: Understand. Retract the mass spec boom' for 85 seconds.
LMP: Yes, I will. Soon as I get the door closed here.
CMP: Roger. Get you then.
CC: That's affirm, and then you'11 leave it there for about 5 minutes. We'11 cue you when to extend it again.
LMP: Okay, retracting now.
LMP: Screwed up.
CMP: Your stuff.
LMP: This the way it goes in?
CDR: Yes, it's getting a little tricky. Ought to get that thing in there, though.
LMP: Does it go in all the way?
CDR: Yes, put it in.
LMP: That's funny. Looks like it fits in there pretty well. Oh, what's in - Okay. You're going to put the camera on anyway.
CDR: Got ... we can start.
CMP: Okay, we're starting. NOUN 35. Starting now.
CDR: Guess we might as well maneuver, huh?
LMP: I don't know. Why do you want to go early?
CDR: Why not? There's nothing in - the Flight Plan ... Nothing in here ... that I can see.
LMP: Well, how about - explain this.
CDR: Gam_a ray gain. Got to be there by - -
LMP: Not until 50 - 30 minutes from now.
LMP: I guess we're going to dim the lights and do all this on time. Rather sit for - we can get a flash- light out.
LMP: Well, we'11 see. One minute. Let's see. I don't know why - cabin lights are not going to affect it anyway with that cover over it.
LMP: Says we're supposed to use the PCM cable. How can we shoot - that PCM cable for the 250? The EL? It won't reach this window, will it? And we'11 have the Nikon in the other window.
CDR: Didn't we have that this morning?
LMP: Well, it's ruined the other things, Dave. That's for the sextant photos.
LMP: Solid 24 minutes of activity, isn't it?
LMP: We got MAG N on there. And I still have a MAG way back here with a - color - Q. They suggested T, but -
CDR: ... Q ...
LMP: Might as well.
LMP: I'11 look in this TSB over here.
CMP: Look in - in U-1 back there.
CMP: Roger. You messed up 190 ... - -
CC: 15, this is Houston. Would you please extend the mass spec boom all the way out again?
CDR: Tell him yes.
CMP: Roger. In work.
CC: And I have a T-start for the lunar eclipse photos when you're ready to copy.
CMP: Okay. Go ahead with T-start?
CC: T-start for lunar eclipse photos, 268:59:47.
CMP: Understand 268:59:47.
LMP: Yes, my camera's still up here, Dave.
CMP: Hey, we're going to have to rush.
CDR: Huh? I know it. Why - logical.
CMP: Okay, 59, 47, ...
CDR: How long is that from now?
LMP: Well, why don't we go ahead to U - Why don't you go - -
CC: Al, we had a question on the mass spectrometer, and it may be too late. Was it'possible to con- firm by visual look through the window that it was retracted?
CMP: Negative, Karl. You can't determine that it's re- tracted. All you can determine is that it's full out.
CC: Roger. Well, when it was retracted, you wouldn't be able to see it; that's what I'm asking. Is it possible for you to take a look now and see if it slowly comes into view?
CMP: You want - -
CDR: Okay, he wants you to watch and see if it does come full out.
CMP: Roger. In other words, you're asking to confirm that it does come full out.
CDR: All right, - -
CDR: - - look down - -
CDR: - - and if you can't see it, it was retracted. If you can see - You can't see it then.
CMP: Sure I can. Okay, Jim, I'11 go ahead maneuver you. You're the act again.
CDR: Let's see a Flight Plan.
LMP: Well, if we can't find that other MAG, Al, we might have to use this one. Got the one MAG here Of black and white from the LM. It has got to be - -
CC: Just to clarify - -
LMP: - - very high speed.
CC: - - our question, Al, the main question was Just to confirm whether or not it did go out of your field of view. Did it actually move from full - from the full-extended position? Al, since you saw no change in the data when you retracted it during the test yesterday, there is a suspicion that, even though you actuated the switch, that for some reason it didn't retract.
LMP: I see - there's one boom extended.
CMP: Okay. It's fully extended now, Karl. But it may be too late. It may have already been out by the time we looked. Is that talkback barber pole or gray?
CDR: It kind of oscillates back and forth, doesn't it?
CMP: Karl doesn't realize we don't want to get too much UV. He must think we watch out that window every time we extend and retract it.
LMP: Hmm.
CDR: Yes, no kidding. TIME SKIP
CMP: Percentage on the MAG?
CDR: Trim and call it 75.
LMP: Okay, we're moving. Stable DAC. G&N POWER coming back to AC 1. CMC MODE, AUTO, Dave? A VERB 49 maneuver to the lunar-eclipse attitude. I wonder - I guess we better be in that attitude - for the press conference. Okay. You ready -
CC: 15, Houston. We'd like to get the HIGH GAIN up, PITCH, 22; YAW, 261.
LMP: Say, buddy!
CMP: Stand by; we're maneuvering.
CDR: The numbers, Jim.
LMP: Okay; 040, plus 011, plus 041.
CDR: Forty, 11, and 41. Right?
CDR: What time's the chronometer say?
LMP: Twenty after.
CDR: Okay, Houston. Are your high gain angles for the sextant photos or forthe lunar-eclipse-photo attitude?
CC: Sorry about that, Dave. When you complete this maneuver, they're in your Flight Plan, PITCH, minus 22; YAW, 227.
CDR: Oh, yes. That's not bad. Not a bad picture. 0ops!
CC: 15, we'd like to have OMNI Bravo.
CDR: Can you get that for him, Jim? OMNI Bravo?
CMP: I'11 get it. - -
CDR: It's looking up.
CMP: Let's see - -
CMP: Yes, let me get it.
CDR: What say to open all the windows and get a little light in here, huh?
CDR: There seem to be - Ah, there won't be any at the lunar-eclipse attitude, though.
LMP: Turn all the floods up all the way.
CMP: What time's ...?
CDR: One guy here.
LMP: Let's see if this controller wants to take up.
CDR: One guy here. Here, I got it, Jim. Why don't you come on down?
LMP: Come down now?
CMP: Yes. Sit on my urine hose. Keep the - -
CDR: Sit on urine hose and keep it down. The control- ler, we can stick under the couch - for now. This moose is in the way.
CMP: (Laughter) Too much gravity.
CDR: Get over in the - put your feet'on the couch and sit down.
CMP: Well, someone's going to have to get up and get the switch.
CDR: What switch?
CMP: SCIENCE - -
CMP: - - TV switch.
CDR: Yes, it's got to go TRANSMIT on the TV.
CDR: Let's see if this all is going to work. No, we've got to shift it over - away from the corner. Yes, okay. Hold on to that.
LMP: Okay, it looks like we're in attitude. Al?
LMP: And we got to get the high gain going there.
CDR: Okay. It's not in the press con - shoo - it's not in here.
CMP: It's in there for the - the maneuver to the - yes, the eclipse attitude.
CDR: Let's see, you ought to try and move those hoses somewhere, Jim. Because you're going to end up having to be further back in the corner, I think. This thing needs to come - Great. I don't - Why don't you come - You get down - -
LMP: What's wrong?
CDR: Taped right now, but I think - -
CDR: Yes, it needs to come over this way more. It's not going to go any further on the other side of the bulkhead there.
CDR: See, because I'm - I'm in the far - no. Jim, can you get down? And let's see how it's going to wor k.
CC: 15, Houston. Give us AUTO and NARROW on the HIGH GAIN, please.
LMP: Roger. AUTO and NARROW.
CMP: You want th_front end to come this way a little? You want the front end to come this way?
CDR: No, I guess it's all right, if I can - It - it - Ther e.
CDR: It's reflected. I mean there's not -
CMP: Yes, that's what I made it for. Pick up behind here. No, right behind here.
CDR: Tell you one thing. I hope we can turn the lights up.
CMP: Yes. Might help.
CDR: Lights all up?
CMP: Yes. Oh, put it up it.
CDR: Al, you take that little bit and we'11 put it on the patch.
CDR: Okay. Yes, that's fine. How's that?
CMP: You got it, Jim. Fix it (laughter).
CDR: You see a patch, Al?
LMP: Okay, there you go.
CMP: No, I don't want it.
LMP: See there? It's going to be hitting it. By gads, I'11 Just hold it on the patch.
CMP: (Laughter) Maybe.
LMP: I'm in charge of light - light - light effect there - -
CMP: Light, yes.
LMP: - - on the patch.
CMP: Light my own.
LMP: You want me to turn it on at the right time, Bob?
UNKNOWN: ° Huh?
CDR: No, I think that's all right. There. Maybe you ought to come over this way a little bit. You're up there, like you're hiding in a corner.
CDR: There. No, I don't think you need that on the patch, do you?
CDR: You still got to look at the stupid camera.
CMP: No, it doesn't - shows my face up there.
CMP: We'11 keep it available in case-somebody wants to look at my face _laughter).
CDR: Okay. Houston; 15. You ready down there?
LMP: Well, it's in TV already. Who put it in TV?
CC: Roger, 15 - -
CMP: I put it in TV.
CC: - - We're close to ready. Are you ready for a big press conference?
CMP: That goes TRANSMIT.
CDR: Oh, Roger. We're ready. Any time you want to go to TRANSMIT, let us know.
CC: Okay, you can go ahead to TRANSMIT.
CDR: Roger. We are. I got 3 seconds, 2 seconds, i second. How's that? There.
CMP: Except for - move your wire, Jim.
CDR: That a boy, now. See? They get it all. Okay, Houston, talk to us. We're all here. Except how does it - -
CC: Hey, 15, we're getting a beautiful picture coming through.
CDR: Roger. Go ahead with your questions.
CDR: It's probably blank as hell.
CC: Roger. We'11 - we'11 admire the beautiful picture for - for a few minutes here.
CDR: ... this one.
CMP: ... lens?
CDR: Yes, that's been done.
CC: Deke Just passed out from the shock, incidentally.
LMP: Do we look that scroungy? (Laughter)
CDR: Yes - yes. No, we look so good.
CMP: Mmm!
CDR: He probably can't believe it.
LMP: It's just because we haven't shaved in 2 weeks.
CMP: Is that a fact?
CC: Okay, fellows, I have a preliminary statement to make here. The questions you will be asked in this news conference have been submitted by news- men here at the Manned Spacecraft Center who've been covering the flight. Some of the questions they raised have been answered in your communica- tions with - with Mission Control, but the public at large has not necessarily heard them. The questions are being read to you exactly as sub- mitted by the newsmen and in an order of priority specified by them.
CC: Question number 1. Since last week, we have shared scores of exciting moments with you. Which single moment would you most like to live again, and is there any moment which you would never like to repeat?
CDR: Well, I guess we all probably have a different idea on which would be the single most exciting moment of the flight, and maybe we'11 Just run through it one at a time. I guess the most impressive moment I can remember is standing up on Hadley Mountain - Hadley Delta, and looking back at the plain and seeing the LM and the rille and Mount Hadley, and the whole big picture in one - one swoop. And I think we've got some pictures for you from up there, and I believe the TV was running at the same time, and I think that was probably the most impressive sight that I've ever seen. Al?
CMP: I guess I'd have to say - sort of, two events oc- curred which were exciting for different reasons, and I guess they were really kind of the highlights of - of the flight for me. One was right after LOI, when we got our first look at the Moon, and it was a fantastic, spectacular sight. And the other, I guess, was when TEI burned so beautifully, and right after TEI, that was an awfully good feeling.
CMP: Okay. Well, I guess there were a great many new thrills for me, and the one that was most impres- sive, though, was the lift-off. It began the flight, and I knew that I was going into space after a - a few years of waiting and training. And then, as far as the event that I would not like to - to repeat again, was probably the - the time when I fell down in front of the TV when we were deploying the Rover.
CDR: Let me get your mike.
CC: Question number 2. Near Spur Crater, you found what may be Genesis Rock, the oldest yet collected on the Moon. Tell us more about it.
CDR: Well, I think the one you're referring to was what we felt was almost entirely plagioclase or perhaps anorthosite. And it was a small fragment sitting on top of a - a dark brown larger fragment, almost like on a pedestal. And Jim and I were both quite impressed with the fact that it - it was there, apparently waiting for us. And we had hoped to find more of it, and, I'm sure, had we more time at that site, we would have been able to find more. But I think this one rock, if it is, in fact, the beginning of the Moon, will tell us an awful lot. And we'11 leave it up to the experts to analyze it, when we get back, to determine its origin.
