Well, you got to really have a union card, there. We can't really complain too much, I guess.

Apollo 11, Houston. Do you have a little white dot in the bottom of your monitor—TV monitor? Over.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. I guess part of the camera's been burnt out down there. These are really beautiful pictures now, Buzz. Over. Real clear.
- Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
Okay. We might have got just a little bit of Sun in there. Is it just one small white dot?
- Michael Collins (CMP)

We went up in the tunnel checking the roll angle, Charlie, and it's 2.05 degrees.

-
11, Houston. The tunnel looks pretty clear to us. Somebody going up there now. Over.

Roger. It's pretty—It's gathering pretty well to us. We see everything quite clearly up in there.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Well, the docking latches look good today just like they did yesterday. Everything up in there looks just fine.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
We can see the LM umbilical connection quite well there, Buzz. We see you zooming in on one of the decals now. It's, “To reset, unlatch handle; latch behind grip and pull back two full strokes.” That's about all we can make out.
- Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
I'm standing 6 feet from it, Charlie, and you can read it better than I can. There's something wrong with the system.
- Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
Looks like we'll be ready to go into the LM early if that's okay with you all down there.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
11, Houston. The white spot you see on your monitor, our TV people say it is a burn spot; but they expect it to dissipate after a couple of hours. Over.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Copy, 11. We see that very clearly. Is that you, Buzz, with your hand on it?
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
11, Houston. We're really amazed at the quality of the picture up in the tunnel. It's really superb. Over.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Roger. There's that same guy that, when you open up the door, why, he's waiting there for you, and he turns the lights on.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Buzz, the view in through your—by your right—left shoulder there is so good we can see the ascent engine cover, the Velcro on it, and that's about all we can make out right now.
