Neil Armstrong (CDR): I get the distinct impression, Charlie, that mare there laps up over the edge of the mountains at the shorelines.
03 08 55 42
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. We copy.
03 08 56 40
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Houston. On your comment about the mare lapping up to the terrain—mountainous terrain, is that an impression like a lava flow coming in around a prominence, Neil, or is it more -looks like it's sloping up at that point? Over.
03 08 57 06
Neil Armstrong (CDR): It isn't true everywhere, but there's certainly places where there seems to be a slope downward towards the shoreline on the mare. In other words, from the mare down to the shoreline is a downward slope indicating that it might be a lava flow.
03 08 57 23
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger.
03 08 58 41
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Crossing Duke Island and Maskelyne W.
03 08 58 47
