Spacelog Apollo 8

Go ahead,Frank.

Go ahead.

Roger for Bill.

… around.

Apollo 8, Houston standing by.

I said is Rod Rose around?

Stand by one, Frank; we'll look for him, and while we're doing that, for Bill the DSE voice quality on high bit rate is very good, so if he wants to use the DSE in high bit rate for a limited amount of time to record important things, we suggest that he do that. We would like him to wait 20 seconds after turning it on prior to talking. Over.

Roger. Copy.

Thank you, Bill.

Apollo 8, Houston.

Go ahead.

Rod Rose is sitting up in the viewing room; he can hear what you say.

I wonder if he is ready for experiment P1?

He says thumbs up on P1.

Houston, with reference to the DSE on high bit rate, what I would like to do this is—if you got the last pass—I'd like to play it—run it back and start at AOS on low bit rate and then go to high when we need it. How would that be?

John Aaron buys it.

Okay, Mike. This is Frank again.

Go.

Roger. Rod and I got together, and I was going to record a little—say a little prayer for our church service tonight. And I wonder—I guess that's what we are ready on?

Stand by one, Frank.

Houston, Apollo 8. Are you still there?

You're still loud and clear, Frank.

Apollo 8, Houston. Go ahead, Frank, with your message.

Okay. This is to Rod Rose and the people at St. Christopher's, actually to people everywhere. Give us, O God, the vision which can see thy love in the world, in spite of human failure. Give us the faith to trust the goodness in spite of our ignorance and weakness. Give us the knowledge that we may continue to pray with understanding hearts, and show us what each one of us can do to set forth the coming of the day of universal PEACE. Amen.

Amen.

Roger. Frank, we'd like to know about the water chlorination. Have you—when was the last time you chlorinated the water? Over.

About an hour and a half ago; we've already done it.

Roger. We copy you an hour and a half ago. Affirmative?

Roger. You know we wouldn't forget that.

Roger.

Jim spilled a little, and it smelled like a bucket of Clorox about an hour ago.

Apollo 8, Houston. Say again.

I said Jim inadvertently spilled some of that chlorine, and it smelled like a bucket of Clorox in here for a little while.

Apollo 8, Houston. Over.

Go ahead, Houston. Apollo 8.

Roger. We have two and a half minutes to LOS, and all systems are looking good. Everything is looking just fine down here, Frank.

Thank you.

We'll have some more information on the TV on the next rev. We're not planning any big change in the time, just to extend them a little bit, I think, closer to the terminator.

Just give us the time, will you, because we just want to know when it is. I'd like to get the terminator if we could, and we've got a little message, and that's it.

Roger. We'll do that the next time you come around.

Thank you. Okay. And have the EECOM guys keep a sharp watch on our systems. Old Anders is so busy fooling around with these pictures that—not much else is getting done.

Apollo 8, this is Houston. Over.
