Eagle, Houston. Middle gimbal. And you might pass to Columbia, we don't have him yet.
-
Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
Key moment Eagle meets up with Columbia in lunar orbit: I'm not going to do a thing, Mike. I'm just letting her hold in ATTITUDE HOLD.
-
Michael Collins (CMP)
-
That was a funny one. You know, I didn't feel it shock, and I thought things were pretty steady. I went to RETRACT there, and that's when all hell broke loose. Were you guys—did it appear to you to be—that you were jerking around quite a bit during the retrack cycle?
-
Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
Yes. It seemed to happen at the time I put the plus X thrust to it, and apparently it wasn't centered, because somehow or other I accidentally got off in attitude and then the attitude hold system started firing.

Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Roger. I'm supposed to adjust the oxygen flow in this thing to six tenths of a pound per hour, but being as how this transducer is not working right, could you give me an updated number?
-
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Affirmative. You want to go ahead and adjust your O2 flow until it just goes off the peg, and then crank the direct O2 valve back down about 5 degrees. Over.
-
Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Houston, I did that, and I believe we are flowing oxygen, but the gage is just pegged FULL SCALE LOW.
-
Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Okay. I'm going to go ahead with the tunnel leak check.

Columbia, Houston. I have a new LM weight for you whenever you're ready to copy.
-
Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Houston, Apollo 11. I let P47 run longer than I should. I may have deteriorated our state vector slightly.
-
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Your LM weight, 5785. For an R1 we'd like to have 61102, R2 01111. Use BD roll. Over.
-
Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Roger. I'm configured now at … for BD roll, and I have thrusters C4 and B3 turned off, and I copy register 1 61102 01111 and LM weight 5785. Thank you.

Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Houston, Columbia has completed the leak check, and proceeding with opening the hatch dump valve.
-
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, Columbia. Understand you're doing the leak check. I missed anything after that.
-
Michael Collins (CMP)
-
I say the leak check is complete, and I'm proceeding with opening the hatch dump valve.
