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.

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.
00 10 30 59
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 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

00 10 33 44
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger. We're zooming in on the Earth now.
00 10 33 54

00 10 34 00
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger. We copied, Charlie.
