Spacelog Apollo 11

And, you want to pick up some stuff, and I'll —

Get these aseptic ones.

— Move the solar wind in.

Buzz, this is Houston. It's about time for you to start your EVA closeout activities.

Roger. That's in progress.

Neil and Buzz, this is Houston. We'd like to remind you of the closeup camera magazine before you start up the ladder, Buzz.

Okay. Got that over with you, Neil?

No, the closeup camera's underneath the MESA. I'll have to pick it up with the prong. I'm picking up several pieces of really vesicular rock out here, now.

You didn't get anything in those environmental samples, did you?

Not yet.

Well, I don't think we'll have time.

Roger, Neil and Buzz. Let's press on with getting the closeup camera magazine and closing out of the sample return container. We're running a little low on time.

Roger.

Okay. Can you quickly stick this in my pocket, Neil, and I'll head on up the ladder?

Okay.

I'll hold it. You open the packet up.

… that'd kill us. Just hold it right there. Okay. Let the pocket go.

About through?

Got it.

Okay. Adios, amigo.

Okay.

Anything more before I head on up, Bruce?

Negative. Head on up the ladder, Buzz.

How are you coming, Neil?

Okay.

Did you get that solar wind rolled up there, Buzz?

Right. That's it right there.

Okay.

Think you can reach the—reach this hook that's hanging over here? You might entertain the idea of sending up the second one that way.

Okay.

Get the film off of that.

I will. Get that up now.

Okay. I'm heading on in.

Okay.

And I'll get the LEC all ready for the rock box.

Neil, this is Houston. Did the Hasselblad magazine go up on that sample return container also?

I've got the Hasselblad magazine hooked to the SRC now, yes.

Roger.

How are you doing, Buzz?

I'm okay.

About ready to send up the LEC?

Yes. Just about.

Okay.

Okay. That's got it clear.

Oh. Uh—oh. The camera came off. I mean the film pack came off.

Okay. Just ease it down now. Don't pull so hard on it. All right, let it go.

Okay. Good.

Boy, that bilge from on the LEC is kind of falling all over me while I'm doing this.

All that soot, huh?

That's what it looks like down here.

I think my watch stopped, Neil.

Did it?

No, it didn't either. Second hand.

Okay. If you can just kind of hold it, why, I think I can do the pulling.

Okay. Stand by a minute. Let me move back.

Okay. Easy. All right, easy in the hatch now.

Okay. I'll get it the rest of the way. And I'll give it to you to—No, wait, just a second. Yes, a little more.

Buzz?

Okay. It's unhooked.

How about that—package out of your—brief. Get that?

No.

Okay. I'll get it when I get up there.

… now?

…

Okay?

Okay.

Neil, this is Houston. Did you get the Hasselblad magazine?

Yes, I did. And we got about, I'd say, 20 pounds of carefully selected, if not documented, samples.

Houston. Roger. Well done. Out.

…

Just keep your head down close. Now start arching your back. That's good. Plenty of room. Now, all right, arch your back a little, your head up against *** Roll right just a little bit. Head down. … in good shape.

Thank you. Am I bumping now?

No, you're clear. You're rubbing up against me a little bit.

Okay?

*** All right. That's right. A bit to the left. Okay. Now move your foot, and I'll get the hatch.

Okay.

Okay. The hatch is closed and latched, and verified secure.

Okay. Now we turn the feedwater valve—CLOSED. And I got your PLSS antenna …

Okay. Feedwater valve's CLOSED.

And your antenna's …

Okay.

…

Okay. That's out. … I did my part … Okay.

…

This is Houston. Go ahead.

You're cutting out, Neil. You're not readable. I understand you said something about contingency sample container on the ascent engine?

We are not reading you, Neil. Buzz, Buzz, this is Houston. Do you read? Over.

Neil, this is Houston. Neil, this is Houston. Radio check. Over.

Buzz, Buzz, this is Houston. Radio check, radio check. Over.
