02 08 33 15
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Roger. Understand. Thank you.
02 08 33 48
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Buzz, that was a good demonstration of your EVA visor assembly. Appreciate it.
02 08 34 39
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hey, I like the good view of Mr. Collins down there. We finally see him again.
02 08 34 46
Michael Collins (CMP): Hello there, earthling.
02 08 34 54
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello there.
02 08 35 24
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. We noticed when you were scanning over Panel 2 a moment ago, 1 and 2, the two eight balls were slightly in disagreement. Control said he'd like a AGS align, there.
02 08 35 39
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Yes. One of them's AGS, one of them's PNGCS. The problem is, we don't know whether to align AGS to PNGCS or PNGCS to AGS.
02 08 35 51
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Stand by.
02 08 35 58
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Chris said he can tell you.
02 08 36 05
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): We'll cage them both.
02 08 36 08
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 08 37 01
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Like old home week, Charlie, to get back in the LM again.
02 08 37 04
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. I can imagine.
02 08 37 24
Neil Armstrong (CDR): The traverse from the bottom of the LM to the aft bulkhead of the command module must be about 16, 20 feet. It's not a disorienting one at all, but it's most interesting to contemplate just pushing off from one and bounding on into the other vehicle all the way through the tunnel.
02 08 37 44
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Must be some experience. Is Collins going to go in and look around?
02 08 37 56
Neil Armstrong (CDR): We're willing to let him go but he hasn't come up with the price of the ticket yet.
02 08 38 01
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. I'd advise him to keep his hands off the switches.
02 08 38 08
Neil Armstrong (CDR): If I can get him to keep his hands off my DSKY, it'd be a fair swap.
02 08 38 13
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 08 38 18
Michael Collins (CMP): That's why I've been eating so much today. I haven't had anything to do. He won't let me touch it any more.
02 08 38 23
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 08 38 55
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. If that's not the Earth, we're in trouble.
02 08 39 00
Neil Armstrong (CDR): That's the Earth, and we have a very good view of it today. There are a few more cloud bands on than yesterday when we beamed down to you, but it's a beautiful sight.
02 08 39 34
Neil Armstrong (CDR): We have some horizontal banding in our TV monitor. Are we transmitting that to you, or do you have a clear picture?
02 08 39 41
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Neil, we have a very clear picture. The only thing that we see is a little white dot in the bottom of our screen, which is—our TV guys say is an—apparently a burned out spot in the camera, but it should come back. Over.
02 08 39 59
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger. We have that in our monitor also.
02 08 40 20
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. We do have three lines across our TV. I thought it was just a transmission problem, but everybody's telling me now that it's probably—it's on the downlink. Over.

02 08 40 35
Neil Armstrong (CDR): No, those are the same three ones that we have.
02 08 40 37
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Okay.
02 08 40 47
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): How far are—out are we now, Charlie?
02 08 40 51
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Stand by. Give you exact figure.
02 08 41 00
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Did you notice the difference between yesterday and today? This is as large an image we can—we can give you.
02 08 41 05
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. If you think we're smaller, you're now 177,000 miles out. Over.
02 08 41 13
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Thank you.
02 08 41 14
Neil Armstrong (CDR): That's nautical miles?
02 08 41 17
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): That's affirmative, 11. We -
02 08 41 23
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): … Hold on.
02 08 41 24
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Go ahead. Over.
02 08 41 34
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. We see the—still see the banding along the intratropical convergence. I guess the most predominate one now is around the—up in the—around the equator or slightly north of the equator.

02 08 41 51
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Yes, that's the way it looks, Charlie. Same as yesterday.
02 08 41 54
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 08 42 05
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Just keep the Pacific Ocean nice and clear and calm on splash day, is all we ask.
02 08 42 31
Neil Armstrong (CDR): And Charlie, I'd like to say hello to all my fellow scouts and scouters at Farragut State Park in Idaho having a National Jamboree there this week; and Apollo 11 would like to send them best wishes.
02 08 42 47
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Thank you, Apollo 11. I'm sure that, if they didn't hear that, they'll get the word through the news, surely appreciate that.
02 08 43 32
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. We have you—your subspacecraft point is just off the western coast of South America directly south of about Mexico City. Over.
02 08 43 46
Neil Armstrong (CDR): That—That looks like what we observe from here.
02 08 44 02
Neil Armstrong (CDR): And we're going to turn our TV monitor off now for a short bit while we have some other work to do. Apollo 11 signing off.
02 08 44 12
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger, 11. Thank you very much. That was one of the greatest shows we've ever seen. We sure appreciate it. Over.
02 08 44 20
Neil Armstrong (CDR): It was a pleasure.
02 08 45 50
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Could you give us an idea of about how long it will be before you start close—closing the LM back up? Over.
