Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. Minus MA procedure okay for abort when GERU less than 07990.
01 21 30 20
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. I'll read back the entire remarks now just to make sure we got it straight. Use P37 NC-4, steps 1 through 11; then proceed to longitude control for no COMM procedure on page NC-7; average Victor 400K for corridor control chart is 36253; Minus MA procedure is okay after abort when GERU is less than 07990.

Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.

Bill Anders (LMP): Okay.
01 21 47 41
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
01 21 47 47
Jim Lovell (CMP): Go ahead, Houston.
01 21 47 49
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Jim, when you get a chance, either you or Bill, would you give us a crew status report on you and Bill?
01 21 47 57
Jim Lovell (CMP): Roger. We're going to finish up this one set of stars for you, then we'll do that.

Jim Lovell (CMP): Have you been getting this data down there in Houston?
01 21 48 15
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): That's affirmative, Apollo 8.
01 21 48 38
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Jim, so far we've only missed one point; we'll ask you to read it back a little bit later.
01 21 48 49
Bill Anders (LMP): Which one do you need?
01 21 48 56
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Stand by.
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. What we need is the third mark on the first set, star 33, trunnion only. Over.
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. That's the only one we're in doubt of. We think it was 12020.
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Copy.
Bill Anders (LMP): Okay. That completes two for this time, Houston. Are you satisfied?
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger, Jim.
Jim Lovell (CMP): Houston, for information, the last two stars, 34 and 40, were shot at the very tip of the lit rim. You practically have to imagine the rim continued on past where it goes into the darkness.
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. I understand they were shot at the tip of the lit rim.
Jim Lovell (CMP): That's affirmative, and the area around the entire moon now, both the sky and the moon itself, are all a milky white because of the nearness of the sun.
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Copying.
01 21 53 42
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. You can reestablish PTC same attitude, 224 and 20.
01 21 53 53
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger, Houston. I'm heading that way now.

Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
01 22 01 37
Bill Anders (LMP): Go ahead, Houston.
01 22 01 39
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): We'd like to have you start your waste water dump as soon as you can; dump to 20 percent. We're doing this in order to get 71 percent at LOI. Over.
01 22 01 55
Bill Anders (LMP): Understand; 20 percent.
01 22 01 58
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.

Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
01 22 14 36
Bill Anders (LMP): Go ahead, Houston.
01 22 14 38
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. We see waste water coming down now. While it's on its way down, how about a cryo fan cycle?
01 22 14 48
Jim Lovell (CMP): Okay. Cryo fan cycle; I'll cycle H₂ and O₂ fans, one at a time, 2 minutes each.
01 22 14 56
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
01 22 21 56
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. We're showing you at 20.0 percent now.
01 22 22 07
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. We're showing about 25. We'll shut it off now.
01 22 22 12
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Next on deck is the fuel cell H₂, O₂ purge.
01 22 22 21
Bill Anders (LMP): Stand by.
01 22 30 34
Bill Anders (LMP): Okay. Houston, we're ready to start the purge.
01 22 30 38
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger, Bill. While you're purging, can you give us a crew status report?
01 22 30 49
Bill Anders (LMP): That's going to be O₂ and H₂. Is that correct?
01 22 30 52
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Affirmative.
01 22 31 00
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. H₂ first, okay?
01 22 31 07
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. That's okay.
01 22 32 13
Bill Anders (LMP): We're getting H₂ flow, Jerry, but we don't have any of the—any vapor particles anywhere. Some are starting now.
