Roger. That's affirmative. And there isn't any way of telling whether that's lined up. I'm getting in the way; maybe I can get down here.

Roger. We've been looking at your consumables, and you're in good shape. Subject to your concurrence, we'd like to extend the duration of the EVA 15 minutes from nominal. We will still give Buzz a hack at 10 minutes for heading in. Your current elapsed time is 2 plus 12. Over.

Buzz, this is Houston. If you're still in the vicinity of the PSE, could you get a photograph of the ball level? Over.
- Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Right. We'll get a photograph of that. Houston, what time would you estimate we could allow for the documented sample? Over.

Houston, were you able to record the documentary way where the two core tube samples were taken?

- Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Neil, this is Houston. After you've got the core tubes and the solar wind, anything else that you can throw into the box would be acceptable.
