03 14 30 37
Michael Collins (CMP): Houston, Apollo 11. Over.
03 14 30 39
Owen Garriott (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. Loud and clear here. Over.
03 14 30 44
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay. We just appeared to get a solid lock for the last—oh, about a minute. The … needle's been wandering up and down, and the pitch and yaw needles have been wandering around, but it appears to have reacquired by itself solidly now. We're just finishing up our fuel cell purge. Hydrogen on number 3 is the last to go off. It'll be coming off in just a second.
03 14 31 09
Owen Garriott (CAPCOM): Roger, 11.
03 14 32 17
Owen Garriott (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, Houston. We believe we've tracked down the reacquisition problem we had on the previous REV. It looks like it was a receiver power supply here on the ground and no problems in the spacecraft at all. Over.
03 14 32 35
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay. Glad to hear it.
03 14 32 37
Owen Garriott (CAPCOM): 11, that really winds things up as far as we're concerned on the ground, for the evening. We're ready to go to bed and get a little sleep. Over.
03 14 32 49
Michael Collins (CMP): Yes. We're about to join you.
03 14 32 51
Owen Garriott (CAPCOM): Roger.; No contact for 6:59:48

03 21 33 04
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): Good morning. We got about 2 minutes to LOS here, Mike.
03 21 33 12
Michael Collins (CMP): … You guys wake up early.
03 21 33 15
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): (Laughing) Yes, you're about 2 minutes early on the wakeup. Looks like you were really sawing them away.
03 21 33 23
Michael Collins (CMP): You're right.
03 21 33 44
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. For planning purposes, you can go ahead and take the monocular into the LM with you.
03 21 33 56
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay. I'll tell them. How are all the CSM systems looking?
03 21 34 06
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. Looks like the command module's in good shape. Black Team has been watching it real closely for you.
03 21 34 17
Michael Collins (CMP): We sure appreciate that. Because I sure haven't.
03 21 34 27
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): Say again.
03 21 34 34
Michael Collins (CMP): I say because I sure have not.

03 22 24 00
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Okay. He's not up yet.
03 22 50 00
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Houston, Apollo 11. We just had a very good view of the landing site. We can pick out almost all of the features we've identified previously.
03 22 50 10

Neil Armstrong (CDR): Go ahead.
03 23 16 30
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): Roger.
03 23 16 31
Michael Collins (CMP): …
03 23 16 32
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): Okay. Church services around the world today are mentioning Apollo 11 in their prayers. President Nixon's worship service at the White House is also dedicated to the mission, and our fellow astronaut, Frank Borman, is still in there pitching and will read the passage from Genesis which was read on Apollo 8 last Christmas. The Cabinet and members of Congress, with emphasis on the Senate and House space committees, have been invited, along with a number of other guests. Buzz, your son, Andy, got a tour of MSC yesterday. Your Uncle Bob Moon accompanied him on the visit which included the LRL. Among the —
03 23 17 27
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): — Thank you.
03 23 17 28
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): Roger. Among the large headlines concerning Apollo this morning, there's one asking that you watch for a lovely girl with a big rabbit. An ancient legend says a beautiful Chinese girl called Chang-o has been living there for 4000 years. It seems she was banished to the Moon because she stole the pill of immortality from her husband. You might also look for her companion, a large Chinese rabbit, who is easy to spot since he is always standing on his hind feet in the shade of a cinnamon tree. The name of the rabbit is not reported.
03 23 18 15
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Okay. We'll keep a close eye out for the bunny girl.
03 23 18 19
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): Roger. You residents of the spacecraft Columbia may be interested in knowing that today is Independence Day in the country of Colombia. Gloria Diaz of the Philippines was crowned Miss Universe last night. She defeated 60 other girls for the global beauty title. Miss Diaz is 18, with black hair and eyes, and measures 34-1/2, 23, 34-1/2. First runner up was Miss Australia, followed by Miss Israel, and Miss Japan. While you're on your way back Tuesday night, the American and National League Allstars will be playing ball in Washington. Mel Stottlemyre of the Yankees is expected to be the American League's first pitcher. No one is predicting who will be first pitcher for the National League yet. They have nine on the roster. Even though research has certainly paid off in the space program, research doesn't always pay off, it seems. The Woodstream Corporation, parent company of the Animal Trap Company of America which has made more than a billion wooden spring mousetraps, reports that it built a better mousetrap but the world didn't beat a door to its path—didn't beat a path to its door. As a matter of fact, the company had to go back to the old-fashioned kind. They said, “We should have spent more time researching housewives and less time researching mice”. And the “Black Beag—Bugle” is all completed for the morning.
03 23 20 47
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Thank you very much. We appreciate the news.
03 23 21 21
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Black Team, we'll be looking for an interesting day with you all tomorrow.
03 23 21 27
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): Roger. We'll be going off here shortly, and we'll pick you up in the morning for sure.
03 23 30 15
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, Houston. Three minutes to LOS; AOS at 96 plus 20.

04 00 22 11
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Reading you about three by, Buzz; a lot of noise on the loop. We think it's coming from Columbia, but we can't tell. We're unable to raise voice with him. Would he please go to high gain. Over.
04 00 22 26
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Okay. I'll have him go to high gain. It's probably the glycol pump you hear in the background, and I'm up to the point where I turn on the IMU. Would you recommend I hold off here for a few minutes or go ahead and power up the IMU? Over.
04 00 22 41
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Stand by.
04 00 22 42

04 00 26 12
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Houston, Eagle. About four by four. Go ahead.
04 00 26 15

04 00 26 24
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Roger. I'm on page 27. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Understand, we have P00 in ACCEPT. You're about three by in—on the voice, Mike. Over.
04 00 28 35
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay. You're coming in loud and clear, and I'm configured for normal voice. If you've got any switch changes, let me know.
04 00 28 42
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. We've got some noise somewhere in the system down here, I think. We're working on it. And I've got a 130 landmark update for you, and also a DAP load whenever you're ready to copy. Over.
04 00 28 59
Michael Collins (CMP): Stand by one.
