Spacelog Apollo 11

Roger.

Houston, we got the service module going by. A little high and a little bit to the right.

Roger. Thank you.

And it's rotating just like it should be. Thrusters are firing.

Good. It's got a lot of gas there to burn out, too.

It's coming across now from right to left.

Houston. Roger.

Houston, Apollo 11. You going to turn on the tape recorder shortly?

11, Houston. You can go ahead and turn it on.

Okay. I'll have to go to command reset to do that.

11, Houston. That's negative. All you have to do is turn it on. That'll be fine.

I guess I don't know how to turn it on, then. I got PCM, ANTILOG RECORD, FORWARD; high bit rate, and barber pole.

11, Houston. We'll send the ON command from down here, see if it works.

Okay.

Got our friend the Moon whipping by the field of view right now.

Roger. Copy.

11, Houston. We'll have you for about 3 or 4 minutes through Redstone and then pick you up after blackout through ARIA.

Roger.

Houston, Apollo 11. I'm going to go to COMMAND RESET and turn the tape on.

…

11, Houston. Recommend negative on that. That will put us in low bit rate.

Okay. I already put it to COMMAND RESET, but I still have barber pole on the tape. And now my switch is high bit rate.

Okay. That will be fine. On 225, there, if you can reach it, Buzz, the last two circuit breakers in the second row from the bottom, punch those in.

And 11, Houston, don't mess around with that 225 there.

Okay.
