Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We're wondering if you've started into the LM yet. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

We have the CSM hatch out, the drogue and probe removed and stowed, and we're just about ready to open the LM hatch now.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. Thank you much, Neil. We'll be standing by.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Okay, Charlie. We're in the LM. The docking index mark is the same.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Charlie, apparently there just doesn't seem to be any slow way to get that REPRESS to AUTO without making a big bang.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, Houston. Say again. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. There just doesn't seem to be any slow way to get the REPRESS closed to AUTO and avoid a big bang. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

We copy, Buzz. Thank you much. Out.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

We concur with that, Buzz.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, Houston. We'll have LOS 81 45, next AOS—Stand by.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Houston, Apollo 11. I am going to start a maneuver to P22 attitude at this time.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

11. Roger. We copy. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay. We're noticing some water inside the command module for the first time. There's a little puddle of it on the aft bulkhead sort of like 101 had.

Michael Collins (CMP)

I'd like to know how EECOMM wants to get rid of it. There are a number of different ways and what does he think is the best one?

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

We'll be with you in a moment, Mike. Stand by.

Michael Collins (CMP)

No big rush. It will wait until the next REV or two.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We've played back the LOI 2 burn. It looks really good to us. The systems were all good. We got an orbit on the limited amount of tracking at 65.4 by a 53.9. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We're standing by. Out.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay, Houston. We'll be done with P22 in just a couple of minutes.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. We copy all that. You're looking good.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Roger. You copy that NOUN 49 on your downlink? If you've had enough time, I'll proceed.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

We got it. Go ahead, Mike.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, Houston. We see a NOUN 89. You can do the VERB 34 now. Over. Beat me to it.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Yes. I've done it, Charlie.

Michael Collins (CMP)

All that procedure for P22 seemed to work very well. The only thing that was a little odd, is that there was some DAP thruster activity. I had pitch in ACCEL COMMAND, and roll and yaw in RATE COMMAND, and somehow, roll and yaw got excited and the DAP went into a flurry of thruster firing. We've noticed the same thing in the CMS, and just written it off as a CMS peculiarity.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. We saw that activity, Mike. We'll see if we can track it down and let you know. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, Houston. You can proceed to sleep attitude now. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

That's in work, Houston.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Houston, we're holding inertial a little while to study the approach to the landing zone.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Houston, this is Apollo … in the Eagle—Apollo 11 in the Eagle. I've got … for our landing area.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, Houston. You are breaking up badly. Say again. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. I can see the entire landing area from the position I'm in looking out the left window in the LM.

Roger, Buzz. Understand you can see the entire landing area looking out the LM windows. Over.
