Spacelog Apollo 11

Okay. You do have to be rather careful to keep track of where your center of mass is. Sometimes, it takes about two or three paces to make sure you've got your feet underneath you.

About two to three or maybe four easy paces can bring you to a nearly smooth stop. *** change directions, like a football player, you just have to to *** foot out to the side and cut a little bit.

So-called kangeroo hop does work, but it seems that your forward mobility is not quite as good as—it is in the conventional—more conventional one foot after another.

It's hard saying what a sane pace might be. I think it's the one that I'm using now—would get rather tiring after several hundred *** but this may be a function of this suit, as well as lack of gravity forces.

Tranquility Base, this is Houston. Could we get both of you on the camera for a minute, please?

Say again, Houston.

Roger. We'd like to get both of you in the field of view of the camera for a minute.

I look forward to that very much, sir.

Columbia, Columbia, this is Houston. Over.

Loud and clear, Houston.

Roger. I got a P22 AUTO optics—AUTO optics PAD for you.

Roger. Go ahead.

Roger. P22 landmark ID, LM: T1, 110 26 56; T2, 110 32 06. Three miles south; time of closest approach, 110 33 40. Shaft 353.855, trunnion 46.495, roll zero, pitch 250, yaw zero. Over.

Roger. Thank you. Readback not required.

Roger. Out.

Houston, it's very interesting to note that when I kick my foot *** with no atmosphere here, and this gravity *** they seem to leave, and most of them have about the same angle of departure and velocity. From where I stand, a large portion of them will impact at a certain distance out. Several *** the percentage is, of course, that will impact *** different regions *** it's highly dependent upon *** the initial trajectory upward *** where most of the *** already the particles are found, … terrain.

Roger, Buzz. And break. Break. Columbia, this is Houston. When you track out of high gain antenna, then let's request OMNI Delta, OMNI Delta. Over.

So be it.

I've noticed several times in going from the sunlight into the shadow, that just as I go in, I catch an additional reflection off the LM *** along with the reflection off my face onto the visor, makes visibility very poor just at the transition *** sunlight into the shadow. I essentially have so much glare coming onto my visor *** shadow *** helmet actually gets the shadow. Than it takes a short while for my eyes to adapt to the lighting conditions. *** inside the shadow area, visibility, as we said before, is not too great, but both visor's up *** what sort of footprints we have and the general condition of the soil. Then, after being out in the sunlight a while, it takes—Watch it, Neil! Neil, you're on the cable.

Okay.

Yes. Lift up your right foot, right foot. It's still—your toe is still hooked in it.

That one?

Yes. It's still hooked in it. Wait a minute. Okay. You're clear now.

Thank you.

Now, let's move that over this way.

Okay. I've got it.

The blue color of my boots has completely disappeared now into this *** still don't know exactly what color to describe this other than ash cocoa color. It seems to be covering most of the lighter part of the boot *** color that *** very fine particles ***.

Buzz, this is Houston. You're cutting out on the end of your transmissions. Can you speak a little more closely into your microphone? Over.

Roger. I'll try that.

Beautiful.

Well, I had that one inside my mouth that time.

It sounded a little wet.
