02 08 03 34
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Yes. We're going to tape that one over.
02 08 03 35
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 08 03 36
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): We're going to tape that one over.
02 08 03 37
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): We concur.
02 08 03 44
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): The restraints in here do a pretty good job of pulling my pants down.
02 08 03 53
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. We haven't quite got that before the 50,000,000 TV audience, yet.
02 08 04 17
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. That's a good view of the eight ball. We see—You can even read the OFF flag, there.
02 08 04 30
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): You can see the signal strength meter for the radar, read the numbers on it.
02 08 04 54
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Houston, did you want us to test the cameras in the LM and—I was wondering about that. I saw it in the flight plan, but I'm just wondering if you want to do that on CSM power, or do you want us to take both of the 16mm cameras back in the CSM and test them there? Over.
02 08 05 18
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Stand by, Buzz.
02 08 05 21
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): As an alternative to that, why, we could wait LOI day and do it then when we transfer over to LM power.

02 08 05 32
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Stand by. We'll have an answer.
02 08 05 47
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. On that TV, our commentary—The monitor I was looking at was delayed about 12 seconds, 12 to 15 seconds while it went through our color converter. It was probably—You thought I was crazy, but we were looking at it 15 seconds after you broadcast it. 11, Houston —
02 08 06 06
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): We understood that, Charlie.
02 08 06 08
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Okay. On the LM cameras, we'd like you to do it on LOI day with the LM power. Over.
02 08 06 19
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Okay. That's what we'll do.
02 08 07 16
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Houston, we're showing you something that came out of the Commander's checklist stowage packet. It's got a 16-millimeter camera in it, and it's got this little cylinder; and I guess—I don't understand what it is. Maybe you can tell us.
02 08 07 35
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Stand by. We can't figure it out either.
02 08 07 46
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): It's got an arrow on the back, and it says “turn,” but I'm afraid to turn it.
02 08 07 56
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, your friendly geologist says it's the camera cank- crank, excuse me, for the 16-sequence camera if it jams. Over.

02 08 08 10
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): All very well. Thank you.
02 08 08 28
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): There's that word again. The ancillary stowage container.
02 08 08 35
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 08 09 10
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): The shades couldn't quite hack it, there, Buzz. Over.
02 08 09 51
Michael Collins (CMP): Houston, 11. Are you still getting high bit rate off the OMNI's at this distance?
02 08 09 56
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Stand by, Mike.
02 08 10 07
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, Houston. About 50 percent of the time, we're getting high bit rate off the OMNI's when you're in PTC. Over.
02 08 10 17
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay. Thank you.
02 08 10 19
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): You're welcome.
02 08 11 24
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, Houston. Neil, at this attitude you look like you're about 12 feet long.
02 08 11 34
Neil Armstrong (CDR): It seems like I always find myself upside-down in whatever I'm doing around here.
02 08 12 29
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, Houston. Could you give us a few comments on your crew comfort with the CSM hoses moving the air around? Over.
02 08 12 42
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Well, it's picking up a little bit on circulation in here.
02 08 12 47
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): What do you estimate the temperature is, Buzz? Over.
02 08 12 57
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Oh, I'd say maybe 73, 75.
02 08 13 02
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 08 13 06
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): It's hard to tell at this density and pressure of gas, but comfort level is about the—about the same as the command module.
02 08 13 20
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): You probably —
02 08 13 21
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): It was a little warmer or stuffier when we first got in, but it seems to be improving.
02 08 13 27
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Houston copies. Out.
02 08 14 28
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston.
02 08 14 29
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): You may be able to see some —
02 08 14 31
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Go ahead.
02 08 14 32
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): — some particles jumping around on your screen. That's just dust particles that are being illuminated by Sun shafting in the window.
02 08 14 42
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. They're very clear now. Over. And that's a good view of Neil's—correction, of Buzz's circuit breaker panel, there.
02 08 15 50
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): I can just barely see the handrail on the front porch from the position on the right-hand window.
02 08 15 59
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 08 16 15
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. Our view of the Panel 11 is—gets brighter, then darker. Are you changing the f-stop at all? Over.
02 08 16 32
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): No, what's happening is, we get pretty close to the window now and then, and it drives the automatic light control into the stop, I think.
02 08 16 42
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): I think that's right.
