00 08 25 43
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Stars—Codes are stars 26, 30, and 24. Over.
00 08 25 49
Neil Armstrong (CDR): 24. Okay.
00 08 35 42
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We notice your PROGRAM ALARM, Mike, was due to using these stars in the P23 attitude. If you'll go to 000, the stars we gave you will work. Over.
00 08 36 02
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay. Understand.
00 08 41 19
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Prior to you starting your P52, we'd like to give you a new CSM state vector. Over.
00 08 41 29
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger. Wait till we finish the maneuver and we'll give you the DSKY.
00 08 41 37
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. We're standing by.
00 08 53 07
Michael Collins (CMP): Houston, Apollo 11. The DSKY is yours.
00 08 53 12
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, Houston. Go ahead. Over.
00 08 53 15
Michael Collins (CMP): Roger. The DSKY is yours.
00 08 53 29
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Stand by.
00 09 00 59
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. You can do the VERB 66. The computer is yours, and then the P52, option 1 preferred. Over.
00 09 01 06
Michael Collins (CMP): Roger.
00 09 16 10
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Do you read? Over.
00 09 18 11
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. If you read, this attitude 000 is pretty bad for our COMM. In fact, we've lost all data with you, and unreadable on the voice. We recommend you do the P52, option 1 preferred …
00 09 18 25
Michael Collins (CMP): … not a very good attitude at all for COMM, and as soon as we finish our alignment, we'll maneuver it to a different attitude. Over.
00 09 18 34
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger, 11. We copy. Recommend you go to this P52, option 1 preferred, and then go to PTC attitude. Over. Then we'll get some COMM. When you get there to PTC attitude, it'll be pitch 90, yaw 0 on the high gain. Over.
00 09 21 17
Michael Collins (CMP): Houston, Apollo 11. Over.
00 09 21 19
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger, 11. You're about one-by. Go ahead.
00 09 21 38
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, Houston. You're about one-by. Go ahead. Over.
00 09 22 40
Michael Collins (CMP): Houston, Apollo 11. Over.
00 09 22 43
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger, 11. Read you about four-by. How me? Over.
00 09 22 46
Michael Collins (CMP): You're loud and clear, Charlie. We pitched down some to get a better COMM attitude.
00 09 22 51
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Did you copy our recommendation on proceeding with the P52, Mike? Over.
00 09 22 58
Michael Collins (CMP): Negative. We didn't. I've got that in work. I'm starting on P52.
00 09 23 01
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
00 09 35 56
Michael Collins (CMP): Houston, Apollo 11.
00 09 35 59
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Go ahead, 11. Over.
00 09 36 01
Michael Collins (CMP): Roger. Copy our torquing angles. We're about to torque them.
00 09 36 05
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Stand by.
00 09 36 08
Michael Collins (CMP): Roger. The reason for delay, Charlie, is that—difficult to find two stars that are not occulted by the LM and also are not in the midst of a manmade star field up here with dumps.
00 09 36 21
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. We copy.
00 09 36 38
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. You can torque the NOUN 93. Over.
00 09 36 44
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay.
00 09 40 34
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay, Houston. That completes the P52. We verified the third star with Antares, and AUTO optics are pointing at it pretty closely. How do our platform drift angles look so far, Charlie?
00 09 40 46
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Stand by.
00 09 40 56
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We didn't have a chance to get a good check for you. We're going to run a drift check from this alignment until the next one, approximately 12 hours, and we'll have something for you later. Over.
00 09 41 07
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay.
00 09 41 46
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We'd like you to establish your PTC. We recommend you select quads Alfa and Delta. Over.
00 09 42 14
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger. Understand. Alfa and Delta quads.
00 09 42 19
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): That's affirmative.
00 09 52 53
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Would you verify that the ATTITUDE SET switch is in GDC? Over.
00 09 53 06
Neil Armstrong (CDR): The SET switch. Stand by one, Charlie.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
00 09 53 11
Neil Armstrong (CDR): It is now.
00 09 53 14
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. It was on IMU.
00 09 53 17
Neil Armstrong (CDR): That's affirmative.
00 09 53 19
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Thank you.
00 10 03 29
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Houston, Apollo 11. How many miles out do you have us now?
00 10 03 34
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): We have you—Stand by, Buzz. Roughly about 50,000. Stand by.
00 10 03 41
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): It's a beautiful sight.
00 10 03 46
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Charlie, on that PTC, we're just waiting our 20 minutes here for all thruster activity to damp out. You might let us know how that's coming.
00 10 03 54
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Will do. We have you about 48,000 miles now.
00 10 03 58
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Thank you.
00 10 05 33
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Houston, Apollo 11. We still have our oxygen fan on for tank 2. Is that what you want?
00 10 05 40
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Stand by.
00 10 05 45
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Hey, Charlie, I can see the snow on the mountains out in California, and it looks like LA doesn't have much of a smog problem today.
00 10 05 57
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger, Buzz. Copy. Looks like there's a good view out there then.
00 10 06 00
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): And, Apollo 11, Houston. We'd like you to keep the O₂ fan on. It will give you an ECS configuration prior to sleep. Over.
00 10 06 14
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Okay. Thanks.
00 10 06 46
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Charlie, with the monocular, I can discern a definite green cast to the San Fernando Valley.
00 10 06 56
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
00 10 07 00
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): How's Baja California look, Buzz?
00 10 07 07
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Well, it's got some clouds up and down it, and there's a pretty good circulation system a couple of hundred miles off the west coast of California.
00 10 07 21
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. 11, we'd like you to close the waste storage vent valve right now.
00 10 07 28
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay.
00 10 07 49
Michael Collins (CMP): Waste storage vent valves closed.
00 10 07 51
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Copy.
00 10 08 51
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We'd like—The rates are looking pretty good right now on the PTC, but we'd like you to continue holding. Over.
00 10 09 01
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay. Fine.
00 10 20 28
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Your rates look really great, now. You can start your PTC.
00 10 20 33
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay. Thanks, Charlie.
00 10 21 51
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Houston, you read 11?
00 10 21 53
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Go ahead, 11. Over.
00 10 21 56
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger. If you'd like to delay PTC after—for 10 minutes or so, we can shoot you some TV of a seven-eights earth. That's—We'll leave that up to you,
00 10 22 12
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Stand by.
00 10 22 50
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We'll have our answer for you on the TV in about 1 minute. Over.
00 10 25 56
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, Houston. We're ready at Goldstone for the TV. It'll be recorded at Goldstone and then replayed back over here, Neil, any time you want to turn her on, we're ready. Over.
00 10 26 14
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Okay. It'll take us about 5 minutes to get rigged.
00 10 26 16
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
00 10 26 31
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, Houston. Could you verify the reading on your O₂ flow indicator? Over.
00 10 26 45
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): We're still on 0.2. We just inadvertently touched the RAPID REPRESS button. That made a temporary glitch in the flow.
00 10 26 55
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. During that glitch there, did it go almost a peg high? Over.
00 10 27 05
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): I'd believe that.
00 10 27 14
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, Houston. Could you tell us if the O₂ flow indicator was pegged high prior to closing the waste storage vent valve? Over.
00 10 27 26
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): No, it was not.
00 10 27 29
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Thank you.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. While ago we tracked into the scan limits and disabled the AUTO drive on the high gain. We'd like you to position the antenna at pitch 30, yaw 270, go to REACQ and that will give us narrow beamwidth. Over.
00 10 31 27
Neil Armstrong (CDR): That yaw 270 and pitch 3—What was the pitch?
00 10 31 32
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Pitch 30, Neil.
00 10 31 35
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Okay. I think we've got you.
00 10 31 44
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. We've got a good signal there. Thank you much.
00 10 32 24
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Okay, Houston. We are sending picture of Earth down right now, so you can—Let us know if they're receiving at Goldstone.
00 10 32 36
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger, 11. Goldstone is receiving the TV. Stand by. We'll let you know on the quality. Over.
00 10 33 34
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Goldstone says that the TV looks great. Over.
00 10 33 44
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger. We're zooming in on the Earth now.
00 10 33 54
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Did you copy? Over.
00 10 34 00
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger. We copied, Charlie.
00 10 34 04
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Your transmissions the last couple of times have been about two-by. Over.
00 10 34 10
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Okay. How do you read me now?
