Roger. The Hornet is on station just far enough off the target point to keep from getting hit. Recovery 1, or the chopper, is there; they're on station. And Hawaii Rescue 1 and 2, the C 130's, are within 40 minutes of your target point. Over.

Roger. Just to get a little downlink here to check out our VHF: I show us about an hour and 37 minutes, approximately, from entry interface. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. We've just been taking a couple of last minute pictures. We've finished the EMS entry check, primary water EVAP activation.

Roger. Faces are red here. We lost data with you there for a while. Did you do the P52? Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

That's affirmative, we completed the P52. We'll give you the data from it in just a second. We passed our sextant star check at entry attitude, and right now we're maneuvering to our first horizon check pitch attitude of 298 degrees.

Apollo 11, Houston. About 4 minutes to 1 hour, and I'll give you a mark at 1 hour. Was a command module preheat necessary? Over.

Roger. We don't want to jettison the hydrogen tank that stratified, so could you cycle the fans in tank 2 please? Hydrogen tank 2.

11, Houston. I'll give you a time hack at 58 minutes to go. It's about 15 seconds yet.
