(18:17):
seventy three hours, eighteen minutes.There are virtually no UH flight plan activities
scheduled at this time. UH thespacecraft systems all continue to perform normally and
at the present time of follow elevenis one hundred six thousand, four hundred
eighty two nautical miles from the Earth. Velocity is fifty six hundred seven feet

(18:41):
per second. At one hundred seventyfour hours twenty four minutes, the spacecraft
UH will be approximately halfway between theEarth and the Moon. In terms of
distance be it will be one hundredtwo thousand, eight hundred eighty eight nautical

(19:02):
miles from the Earth and the samedistance from the Moon. The spacecraft weight
at this time is UH twenty sixthousand pounds up and name and school and

follow eleven Houston over. Perhaps Ijust wanted to make sure you fellas haven't
gone back to sleep again, andalso have a little bit of late news
here if you'd like to find outwhat's happened in the last twelve fourteen hours
over Okay, okay, uh hotoff the press here we find uh.

(35:44):
One Carlos was formally designated yesterday Tuesdayto become General Franco's successor as the Chief
of State of Spain and eventual King. One. Carlos will be sworn in
today as his successor designates after takingan oath of loyalty to the law in
the National Movement, Paine's only legalpolitical organizations. He will apparently be called

(36:07):
the Prince of Spain. House Waysand Means Committee also has agreed yesterday to
tax changes affecting oil companies, alsobanks and utilities, which could add as
much as two billion dollars per yearto the federal revenue. The committee also
voted tentatively to change the accounting proceduresfor telephone, electric, gas, oil

(36:28):
pipeline companies, and to reduce taxbenefits of mutual savings and loan institutions.
So it looks as if a taxreform may be on the way. Looking
overseas, we find South Korea's firstsuper highway linking toll, with support of
John has been named the Apollo Highway. To commemorate your trip, I think

(36:52):
we mentioned last night that President Nixonhas already started on his round the World
trip, and today he is inSan Francisco on his first which will take
into the USS Hornet, from whichhe'll watch the return of your spacecraft.
He plans to visit seven nations,including Romania, during this trip. As

(37:15):
I think you also knew, hadto miss the All Star Baseball Game yesterday
as it was rained out but isbeing played today. The West Coast resident
in Seattle, Washington, Portland,Oregon, Vancouver, British Columbia, San
Francisco all planned to make their areasvisible to the three of you by lighting

(37:37):
their lights between nine pm and midnighttonight. According to the Associated Press,
we do have clear weather predicted thereso that you may be able to see
Christmas lights, porch lights, storelights and whatever may be turned on a
little closer to home here back inMemphis, Tennessee, a young lady who

(37:58):
is presently tipping the scales at eightpounds two ounces, was named Module by
her parents, mister and missus EddieLee McGee. It wasn't my idea,
said Missus McGee. It was myhusband. He said he had bolked at
the lunar Module McGee because it didn'tsound too good. But apparently they have

(38:19):
compromised on just Module over. OhGod to hear a few chuckles coming from
that direction. And we do havea late report on the sports here also
the All Star Game currently being played. The present score at the end of
the fourth inning has the National Leagueleading the American League by nine to three.

(38:45):
So the hitters are having a goodday, as you can tell.
And rain clouds are over the MScarea at the moment. It began raining
here just about ten minutes ago,and we were having a pretty heavy deluge.
So let's it from the news frontfor the afternoon. Here follow eleven

(39:07):
over. Thank you very much.I think my projuice water. That's very
true. I've forgotten exactly how manydays it did go buzz, but something
like thirty days without rain, andwe can appreciate the rain we're getting right
now. Yeah, that was Neil. If you could find out when the

(39:31):
last time might long cut, thatmight be a little more difficult to find
out. I'm not sure whether thewhether Mike is ready to admit when he
lasted the job, but I'll lookinto that for you. I hope he's
got a no more Roger, Iasked my attention. Well, they're doing

(40:02):
well. I'm not sure about yours. I can let you know about my
own, and the report isn't verygood. Oh, HUNGARYOT is the capsule

(40:31):
communicator here in mission control at thistime h M school M. This is

(42:35):
Apollo Control at one hundred seventy threehours, forty three minutes UH Pollo eleven
now one hundred five thousand, onehundred sixty five nautical miles from Earth.
The velocity continuing to increase gradually upto five thousand, six hundred fifty two
feet per second. The cabin temperaturein spacecraft has been running UH around sixty

(42:59):
two two degrees and uh coming upwithin the next hour, Apollo eleven will
be crossing the midway point in distanceof that to occur at one hundred seventy
four hours, twenty four minutes andseven seconds. There will be a briefing

(43:22):
at UH three pm central daylight timein the building one auditorium on the lunar
receiving LABORATORYM most cho chant M Meleven Houston over, go ahead, UH

(47:45):
Roger, Uh Joan wasn't home rightnow, buzz, but uh Janet's reports.
The grass is getting pretty high,and I would estimate that it's uh
gonna be close to your knees bythe time you get out of quarantine.
Over Okay, I'll let just schedulea little discussion that make it back right.

(48:06):
And uh, no report from noreport from the Kincher bugs there like
well, they're sort of taciturn littlefellas. They don't say when I think
this chump away, concur on thatness. That is about what we're doing up

(48:42):
here. Now. We concur onthat too. I'm not used to all
this, but I'm sitting here rightside. Breakfast was magnificent, as usually

(49:13):
it's nice peaches, rottage batties,two cups of coffee, and I forget
all what else? That does soundpretty good. As a matter of fact,
I'm way over due for a mealmyself here I could use some of
that. I want to get milkto give you five minutes off Hamburg.

(49:52):
I suggested that a while ago hewas pointing out about the weight problem here,
got to keep the calories low,so I'd better stand by without it.

(51:00):
M M M instant Pall eleven.We've we've been doing a little white

(52:42):
planning for fall twelve. Up here, Roger go ahead, R trying to
calculate how much your spaghinni and meatfalls we can get on work for Alban.
I'm not sure the uh spasical Ihaven't take that much extra weight?
I uh have Have you made anyintimate help? Because that last comment came

(53:46):
from Mike Collins referring to al Bean. Who is the lunar module pilot four
a pile of twelve M three?What happens? I haven't uh Houston Uh.

(55:45):
The medics of the next console reportthat, uh the shrew is one
animal. It's can eat six timesits own body weight every twenty four hours.
Uh, this may be a satisfactorybaseline for your spaghetti calculations on al
being over m okay, I guessthat didn't work? Oh U or time?

(57:08):
M N A person? See howyou come? Alright? Your group?
You uh how or do a hh? Yes, we were a

(57:32):
kind of best U H don't remember? Uh? Person, I D do

(57:55):
not time? Do school? Comberother problems you don't not about? N

(58:46):
N N N N H gets upout eleven. It was rightly colder in

(59:08):
here last night than it has beenon any previous night. Does he come
notice any change in his data orany explanation for that? Roger, stand
by to come moment. We'll gotcheck some temperatures. Up until last night,

(59:28):
it was, if anything of it, on the warm side. At
night last night it was on thechili side. Roger. There, we'll
run down the temperatures for the twonights. Go. It's no big thing.
This is a matter of interest,Roger. And how'd you like the

(59:58):
command mogor r c s amperatures levinHouston. They all look very good.
The lower temperature was forty degrees andwe're taking a look at your cabin temperatures
now, Yeah, we agree onthe CMRCS, no heater is gonna be

(01:00:23):
required by country. MA. Wethink that's correct. We don't like those
heads anyway working out The direct clilpeculiar thing knowing on the platform alignment is

(01:01:30):
that when I really take my timeand do a very slow, careful,
precise job of marking, I'm gettingabout the same tarangle difference as when I'm
doing it in DTC and have todo a hurried rush job with relatively poor
tracking. Star angle differences seem insensitivethat almost make me believe there's a very

(01:01:53):
small bias error somewhere in the Ruggereleven. Perhaps the three degrees per second.
Just isn't that that much of abother over? Well, he's really
kind to explain why he can't getall the zeros. Yeah, that's I
think buzz is probably right better.Fact, one time I made a mark

(01:02:16):
which I thought was a little bitin error, but I thought, well,
heck, i'll go ahead. Theartworks out anyway, And I got
five zeros that time. And whenI have thought everything was exactly precisely on,
I have consistently been getting point ohone. Now, Roger, apparently

(01:02:44):
it pays to hurry. I usuallydo. The visibility the telescope has been
very poor. It's i would say, even worse than the simulator is right

(01:03:07):
now. It requires a long periodsof dark adaptation, which both times are
most inconvenient. So it's really atremendous asset to keep the platform powered up
at all times and to keep ittweaked within the capability of the Sexton field
of view. I understand like elevennow used to not checking your temperatures.

(01:05:00):
Does look like a spacecraft may havecooled down perhaps two or three degrees in
the last twenty four hours, andthat sounds to be consistent with your report
on the comfort level thereover. Okay, run a whemb off phenomenon levin Houston.

(01:05:49):
That looks like We'll have to thinka little more about that as to
whether it's a lamb off or someeffects being idle in or all. But
we don't know, so we'll haveto fuzzle before we can give a better
answer. Okay, h prod upthe systems. Guys have anything they want
to stays down and we'll be happyto give you any readings or reports or

(01:06:12):
what have you. Roger, Iwill uh uh think about that and see
if there aren't some other tests tobe usefully performed there? Okay h h

(01:06:50):
h h h mm hmm and Mand m schmut and school school and and

(01:10:27):
and and school and I len hernow you could now because things over to

(01:13:00):
the green capcom at that time andthey go on the ground tomorrow. Okay,
Oh what I want to thank you? And oh purp prepare for good

(01:13:21):
job. Thanks for all of you. I really appreciate it. Great job
you guy. Drug astronaut Bruce McCandlesshas just relieved on garryt as capsule communicator

(01:14:01):
at one hundred seventy four hours fourteenminutes. Apollo eleven is one hundred three
thousand, four hundred forty nautical milesfrom Earth, traveling at a speed of
five thousand, seven hundred thirteen feetper second. The clue you remembers like

(01:15:46):
severn games, Why more one onegood? Bring more? Would the one

(01:16:18):
and the other would you like?No? Send ave reten ing another m

(01:17:10):
You don't don't you remember? Uh? You fly mumbles and what they were
about you? One of them?You know? They some don't know about

(01:17:36):
your step. They then time numberfor a long time. They when the
sun about Remember that about those provisno no no, uh you could get

(01:17:58):
out real glad be down there anyone up by one set about the trill
that you do get a print?Don oh well, what then you ever

(01:18:24):
send No ten about it? Orwhat then? Fringu no one almost no.

I stand and m L school schooland schools school school and NY school

(01:24:13):
and Cho Chang Cho Cho Chang Apolloeleven, missus Houston over eleven, Missus

(01:26:24):
Houston. With reference to your subjectiveevaluation that it felt cooler inside the spacecraft
last night, we reported earlier thatwe did indeed see a drop of about
three degrees over the previous night.Looking back, it appears that the crew
of Apollo ten reported similar feelings duringthe translanter and transfer coast phases. We

(01:26:48):
were wondering if you could give usany indication of the ir relative amounts of
free or condensed water in the cabinlast night and the night before, from
which we could infer humidity over Ithink that might be a little bit difficult

(01:27:15):
to do. We're gonna take alook in the tunnel now. The test
seem as though transvert we've had alittle bit more moisture in the tunnel.
Of course, I don't need justtransfer right. We were more curious about
the broad of amount of moisture betweensay, last night and the night before,

(01:27:38):
both of which we have a limbmissing. There's more moisture in the
tunnel now than there has been atany previous time. Subjectively, we have
been unable to determine any change inany build left in humidity. Have there

(01:28:01):
is to be no moisture any otherplace in the spacecraft. For example,
the windows are not bogging or andthere is other cool spots aout in the
spacecraft, all of them appear tobe completely dry. Houston Roger, thank
him, schooma change and bad Schoolsix six. This is Apollo Control at

(01:34:41):
one hundred seventy four hours thirty fiveminutes. Apollo eleven now one hundred two
thousand, two hundred eighty six nauticalmiles from Earth uhway across the halfway point
in terms of distance at UH onehundred seventy four hours, twenty four minutes
and seven seconds. The UH briefingon the Lunar Receiving Laboratory is scheduled to

(01:35:03):
begin at MSc and Building one UHwill tape record any conversations with the spacecraft
to play those back immediately following thepress conference. This is Apollo control at
one hundred seventy four hours, thirtysix minutes. This is Apollo control at

(01:35:48):
one hundred seventy five hours, fortytwo minutes. Uhpollo eleven is now ninety
eight thousand, five hundred twelve nauticalmiles from the Earth, the velocity five
eight hundred ninety two feet per second. During the preceding press conference, we
accumulated about seven minutes of tape conversation, which we'll play back for you now.

(01:36:14):
M hew it greened today, right, Oh, the Green dream good
dape. The actual Green team hasbeen here for several hours. Uh,
we're dogging the watch down here toposition run for entry over all, right,

(01:36:40):
entertan Y Davy get to explain thewinner the press covery. No,
but your comment about Philip Scheffer andthe explanations were quoted in the paper last
night. Uh. Oh, doyou want to say anything more while you're
on the line. He's right,He's absolutely right. That was all white

(01:37:08):
birth. Did he ever let yougo get a cup of coffee while we
were over on the backside? Oh, things have been going pretty smoothly down
here. He's really not that hardto get along with. Y might be
bowing. Well, we've only gottwo of them back there right now.
They all right. He had tomake me sure that the control uh sure

(01:37:30):
the backside passage just for training.Uh. The work we have here is
that that was because whenever you cameback, you had to be retrained to
say m hm fifth about eleven ameter cur I've been our seventy millimeter cameras.

(01:38:33):
We figure we exposed around three hundredin the lemb and around a thousand
in the command by Jill in bothcameras. Are all the twenty meters cameras
works mine? Okay, very good, thank you. I'm follow eleven.

(01:39:14):
This is Houston. Over goat youeleven, this is Houston. You will
have changed LIMA to your entry Operationschecklist dated July twenty three, Over lady,
July twenty three. I'm not sureit'll be uh, I don't know

(01:39:39):
how long enough have been cowing up. Okay, if you've got the entry
Operations checklist handy, then I'll passit up to you. Over How can
you make changes after that? Though? Ray, don't mean June negative just
came up today. Over, Ah, you have the press you can do

(01:40:01):
as Okay, on page six Dashone of the entry out checklist, down
toward the bottom after main deploy pushbutton, when we have three additional steps
we'd like you to accomplish. Theintent of this is to red to reduce

(01:40:25):
the oxygen pressure in your manifold andto eliminate the oxygen bleef flow through the
portable and wastewater tanks during descent.Over Okay, we set Okay. Now
at the bottom, you've got tenthousand fee main pierss deploy main deploy push

(01:40:46):
button push within one second, andafter that step we'd like to insert surage
tanks OH two valves off, repressedpackage valve off and direct oh two valve
open the tuppy gay that's the bottomof car name party push my fresh church

(01:41:18):
tango two off brings back off directorto Roger. And then down at say
very bottom, I'll say six daystoo where you see direct door to off
verify, delete that step completely,over, kay, and for record purposes

(01:41:41):
this would be changed lima over Okay, we gotta how far open do you
want to direct door to be openat this point? And if you want
to, uh, just leave itopen at that point. Roger it should
go all the way open and youcan just leave it on from that point

(01:42:03):
on. The intent is to completelydepressurize the oxygen manifolds. Over a copy
a Fall eleven MISSUS Houston for yourinformation. The All Star Game just ended

(01:42:28):
with the National League winning nine tothree over American order. I thank you,
and I have a message here forMike that says, quote all the
chinch bugs are gone unquote over havingthat that job. I guess, oh,

(01:42:53):
along with one tree. It turnsout, yeah, I heard about
that as that where they fight rightthat UH big storm. This is Apollo

(01:43:46):
control. That UH brings us upto date with the UH tape recorded conversation.
We'll continue to stand by for anyfor their communications with the spacecraft.
UH. During the previous conversations,you heard Mike Collins toss a couple of
good natured barbs at UH flight directorCliff Charlesworth. Collins was a capsule communicator

(01:44:10):
on Charlesworth's shift during the Apollo eightmission. At UH one hundred seventy five
hours, fifty one minutes. Apolloeleven is ninety eight thousand, thirty four
nautical miles from the Earth. Peoplewere are there as you say at the

(02:20:01):
or five thousand, nine hundred andseventy miles out from the areas over there
own backyard seconds right arn back guardruggerous trying to come downhill a little bit.

(02:20:35):
Now what parfulope the velocity is fivethousand and nine hundred and ninety one
feet per second. Thank it,and you are indeed coming downhill. Tertutttttttttt

(02:25:15):
statute change stutt oh you need Thisis Apollo Control at one hundred seventy six

(02:37:24):
hours, forty four minutes Apollo elevennow ninety four thousand, nine hundred sixty
one nautical miles from Earth. Thevelocity has just gone over UH the six
thousand foot per uh A second markwhere six thousand, twenty nine feet per
second. The next item scheduled onthe flight plan is a television transmission that's

(02:37:52):
scheduled to occur at a ground elapsetime of one hundred seventy seven hours thirty
minutes, which would be six ohtwo pm Central DA right time. Among
the UH clocks counting down or upto and from significant events UH, here

(02:38:13):
in mission control we have one countingdown two entry, and that clock now
shows eighteen hours, eighteen minutes andtwelve seconds until entry. UH RE entry
is scheduled to begin based on UHNO further mid course corrections at one hundred

(02:38:35):
ninety five hours, three minutes fiveseconds. At this time, it appears
that mid course correction seven, ifit were done UH, would only require
two tenths of a foot per secondUH. Based on current tracking, we
wouldn't expect to have to do midcourse correction seven. However, the UH
tracking will be continued and a decisionon mid course correction seven UH will not

(02:38:58):
be made until closer to the timeof leaving over utt stattutt ant not like

(02:52:33):
you most four stas interest in justto do? Do you follow? Eleven?

(03:01:58):
It's a fire's nice alright, Roger? Eleven. I've got a flight
plan update for you to give youan optimum attitude for the Earth in the
number one window and the moon andnumber five window. Over ready, copy,

(03:02:24):
Roger. Your attitude will be rolltwelve degrees, pitch two seven zero
degrees, y'all zero degrees, Igain antenna angles pitch plus one four,
yaw two six three over right?Did I copy ROLLO went to pitch two

(03:02:48):
seven zero why yah zero and Igain antenna pitch press fourteen and y'all two
sixty three, Roger. And whencoming out of PTC H, you might
be advised that your dead band hasbeen collapsed, So to follow the check
what's items doing d of that?Now? This is Apollo Control at one

(03:04:16):
hundred seventy seven hours, eleven minutes. UH network controller advises that, UH
we're starting to get uh some semblanceof uh TV signal from the spacecraft.
At we suspect UH we may begetting some check out. UH we'll continue
to stand by and uh uh beprepared to take whatever sent FO
