Frank Borman (CDR): Okay. Steam pressure going to AUTO; H₂ flow going to AUTO.
02 20 31 49
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. We are on low bit rate. We won't see your steam pressure; your RAD OUT is 33. Over.
02 20 32 01
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger. We're below the boiling limit, and steam pressure is steady at 0.15.

02 20 37 40
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Go.
02 20 37 45
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. We're showing a fuel pressure of 167, in AUX of 163. Wondering, do you think there's a possibility of us having a transient caution warning trip on fuel AUX pressure at the beginning of the burn that would correct itself nominally as we had a chance to pressurize? Over.
02 20 38 12
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Understand; will check. Stand by.
02 20 38 20
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger.
