02 07 50 01
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): We're going to go ahead and take all the Moon data on back into the command module, Charlie.
02 07 50 07
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 07 50 58
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, Houston. Buzz, it appears that you're intending to put on the Sun filter and view the Sun through the AOT. Over.
02 07 51 09
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Yes, unfortunately it looks like it's down a little bit more towards … than I can be able to see in the AOT.
02 07 51 17
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP): We got a beautiful view of the side of the command module out of the AOT looking in the left rear detent.
02 07 52 23
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 07 52 24
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): I can see the hatch and all the—all the EVA handrails. First time we've seen the silvery outside of the command module.
02 07 52 40
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): I can read the letters on the hatch cover. It's a boost cover release; and the big yellow arrow that points toward the opening—place where the tool B goes.

02 07 53 04
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Buzz. Over.
02 07 53 07
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Say again.
02 07 53 08
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): I was just saying we got a great shot looking back into the command module.
02 07 53 09
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): …
02 07 53 14
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Okay. And the left detent, I can see the AO—or the rendezvous radar, and I move to the forward detent and that's about all I've got. I'm looking eyeball to eyeball.
02 07 53 25
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 07 54 08
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Charlie, is there any concern about the duration that we ought to have the window shades open?
02 07 54 14
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Stand by.
02 07 54 17
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): We don't have—We don't have any circulation in here, and it might get a little on the warm side.
02 07 54 23
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.

02 07 54 30
Michael Collins (CMP): We'll—We'll put up a couple of hoses in the command module here and get a little circulation going.
02 07 54 36
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Sounds like a good idea. Over.
02 07 55 04
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, Houston. As far as the window shades go in this LM, there's nothing except for crew comfort. I don't think we've got any systems problem. Be sure to put them back up when you egress. Over.
02 07 55 17
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): That we will do.
02 07 55 52
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Charlie, I'll give you a view out of the overhead window, back looking at the command module right-hand rendezvous window.
02 07 56 01
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 07 56 19
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Well, we see it now. Thanks a lot, Buzz. That's a good view through the overhead.

02 07 56 38
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): One washer's on by the overhead.
02 07 56 42
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 07 56 49
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): There we go. We got it now.
02 07 56 58
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): There wasn't very much debris in the command module or the LM. We found very few loose particles of bolts, nuts, and screws and lint and things. Very few in each spacecraft. They were very clean.
02 07 57 14
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Sounds good.
02 07 57 45
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. We have a good view out of the rendezvous—correction, the overhead window of the LM. We don't see anybody staring back at us, though. Over.
02 07 59 03
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Charlie, can you see Mike's two eyeballs staring out through the rendezvous window?
02 07 59 11
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. Stand by. We haven't picked him up yet.
02 07 59 22
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): You are looking through a lot of layers of glass.
02 07 59 38
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. We had a —
02 07 59 40
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): … on my monitor.
02 07 59 41
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): We had a slight glimpse of Mike in the rendezvous window at that time. It's pretty murky looking into there, though.
02 07 59 48
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Okay. Here he is; I've got him. I've got, him on the monitor now.
02 07 59 55
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Okay. We see him staring back at us now. Hello, in there.
02 08 00 28
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, Houston. Our recommendation for the ISA is to stow it back over the instrument panel. Over.
02 08 00 42
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Roger. Will do.
02 08 01 56
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. We can make out the markings on the panel. We read SYSTEM A ASCENT FUEL, ASCENT OXIDIZER. Quad 1, quad 4. The—It's really unbelievable, the definition we're getting down here off that little camera. Over.
02 08 02 14
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): We can even see the barber pole on the talkbacks.
02 08 02 24
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): We can read the markings on the instruments for the glycol pressure, quantity, PCO₂. You can even read the scale on the eight ball. Over.
02 08 02 58
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. We see the cross-feed barber pole, and we have the Velcro patches back up to the RCS systems now. We can see the markings on the meters, green and red bands, in limits.
02 08 03 27
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): We see you raised the cover on the abort stage. We don't recommend that.
