Jim Lovell (CMP): This is 8; go ahead.
01 19 40 29
Glynn Lunney (FLIGHT): Jim, are you talking about out the window or out any of the—or out the telescope?
01 19 40 36
Jim Lovell (CMP): I am looking out the window right now. I have the lights out in the spacecraft, the window covered where the sun is, and I can see the stars very well out the left rendezvous window.
01 19 40 49
Glynn Lunney (FLIGHT): Okay. I guess that window is still pretty good for you then.

Jim Lovell (CMP): That's right. It is one of the few that is. The center window, unfortunately, is all fogged over; it looks like a coating of ice or coating of heavy fog. Bill claims it is something else, though.

Glynn Lunney (FLIGHT): Well, things will pick up here by tomorrow night, I think.
01 19 42 05
Jim Lovell (CMP): I believe you are right.
01 19 42 14
Glynn Lunney (FLIGHT): We're starting to show cabin temperature at 70, so it may be warming up for you.

Jim Lovell (CMP): Well, we can feel it warm up. I have both fans on and the—our gages indicate about 70.
