Buzz, that was a good demonstration of your EVA visor assembly. Appreciate it.
-
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Hey, I like the good view of Mr. Collins down there. We finally see him again.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
We're willing to let him go but he hasn't come up with the price of the ticket yet.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
Did you notice the difference between yesterday and today? This is as large an image we can—we can give you.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
We've got a little more work to do up here, Charlie. We're going to make sure that we have everything transferred around and stowed the way we want it and try to get a little bit ahead on tomorrow's timeline. I suppose that we could be out of there in another half hour or so if it was necessary.
-
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, Neil. We're not trying to push you. We're just trying to get an idea of—about water dumps and starting up the PTC again. Take your sweet time. Over.
-
Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
Okay. We'd like to get a flight plan update from you for the next couple of hours, here. When you think what the various constraints might be and what—what order you might like us to do things.
-
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Mike, we'd like to go ahead and do a waste-water dump. We'd like you to dump it all the way down to zero. Over.
-
Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
Roger. Just noticed that the mast that the EVA light is on is charred brown. It looks as though it took quite a beating during launch.
-
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. We'll let this—the SPAN guys look at this, and we'll be back with you with what we think. Over.
-
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
11, Houston. We were wondering, Neil, with your closing comment on the TV, if you were going to turn it off. It indicated that you might be considering turning it back on. We were wondering whether we want to keep the lines up. Over.
-
Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
Well, we want your recommendation on that, but I think we would just as soon, ourselves, terminate the TV. But if you have a commitment to keep, we'd be more than willing to turn it back on.
-
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Apollo 11, Houston. We'd like to terminate the TV. We don't—We think we got a really—a good tape. That hour and a half show was superb. And we'd like to pick up TV—correction—PTC at about 58 hours. Over.
-
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Apollo 11, Houston. Our recommendations on the activities for the next hour or so, as far as flight plan goes, are: Continue your LM familiarization as desired until about 58 hours, then ingress to the CSM, close the hatch, and establish PTC shortly thereafter. Over.
-
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
— the water dump. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Roger, Houston. I'd like to do a P52 option 3 and tweak the platform up prior to starting the PTC. Over.
-
Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Okay. And the platform's looking pretty good to me. It looks like the worst axis drift is 0.01 something degrees per hour. Is that about what you figure?
-
Owen Garriott (CAPCOM)
-
11, Roger. We've had reports all the marks have been good all the—the last couple of times you've run them. Just a moment; I'll get you some information on the apparent drift rate.
-
Owen Garriott (CAPCOM)
-
Not permanently, Mike. Just have a stand-by here while Charlie's out checking how to use that special tool on the camera. The maroon team will be on tomorrow.
-
Owen Garriott (CAPCOM)
-
Everything's going smoothly here. We sure enjoyed the show this afternoon, Mike.
-
Owen Garriott (CAPCOM)
-
11, Houston. We suggest you go ahead and do the P52 first, and we'll take a look at the angles and give you some new drift rates after taking a look at them. Over.
-
Owen Garriott (CAPCOM)
-
11, Houston. A little information to you there, CDR. We've all taken a momentary brief respite from out work here to have some special—to have a bite of special moon cheese that is—I understand it's been sent to us directly from Wapakoneta, your own hometown. Over.
-
Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
No, we can't—we can't pronounce it either. I think you'll enjoy that. They make a fine brand of cheese.
-
Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Houston, 11. You are looking at the NOUN 93, and I'll proceed when you copy them.
