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)

Roger. Stand by. We'll have that to you in a moment.

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.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Roger. We copy that, Charlie.

Michael Collins (CMP)

How does that work, Charlie?

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

11, Houston. Did you call? 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.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

The EVA light still does work.

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)

And we'll have the remaining functions in the flight plan soon. 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.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay, Charlie. Thank you.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. Water dump being terminated now.

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.

Owen Garriott (CAPCOM)

11, Houston. That sounds like a good idea to us. Go ahead.

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.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay, Owen. Thank you. You got the maroons on?

Michael Collins (CMP)

I say you got the maroons on now?

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.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay. Nice to hear your voice. How's everything going?

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)

Apollo 11, Houston. 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.

Owen Garriott (CAPCOM)

Roger, there, and I'll polish up the grammar for the next trip.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Houston, 11. You are looking at the NOUN 93, and I'll proceed when you copy them.

Owen Garriott (CAPCOM)

11, Houston. We've got them.
