Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

And, you want to pick up some stuff, and I'll —

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

— Move the solar wind in.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Buzz, this is Houston. It's about time for you to start your EVA closeout activities.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. That's in progress.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Neil and Buzz, this is Houston. We'd like to remind you of the closeup camera magazine before you start up the ladder, Buzz.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. Got that over with you, Neil?

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

No, the closeup camera's underneath the MESA. I'll have to pick it up with the prong. I'm picking up several pieces of really vesicular rock out here, now.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

You didn't get anything in those environmental samples, did you?

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Well, I don't think we'll have time.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger, Neil and Buzz. Let's press on with getting the closeup camera magazine and closing out of the sample return container. We're running a little low on time.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. Can you quickly stick this in my pocket, Neil, and I'll head on up the ladder?

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

I'll hold it. You open the packet up.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

… that'd kill us. Just hold it right there. Okay. Let the pocket go.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Anything more before I head on up, Bruce?

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Negative. Head on up the ladder, Buzz.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

How are you coming, Neil?

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Did you get that solar wind rolled up there, Buzz?

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Right. That's it right there.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Think you can reach the—reach this hook that's hanging over here? You might entertain the idea of sending up the second one that way.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Get the film off of that.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

I will. Get that up now.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. I'm heading on in.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

And I'll get the LEC all ready for the rock box.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Neil, this is Houston. Did the Hasselblad magazine go up on that sample return container also?

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

I've got the Hasselblad magazine hooked to the SRC now, yes.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

How are you doing, Buzz?

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

About ready to send up the LEC?

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. That's got it clear.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Oh. Uh—oh. The camera came off. I mean the film pack came off.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. Just ease it down now. Don't pull so hard on it. All right, let it go.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

While you're getting that, I've got to get the camera.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. This—This one's in. No problem.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Okay. Stand by a second.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Neil, this is Houston. Request an EMU check. Over.
