Okay. We've just finished looking at all your systems and all the trajectory information, and you have a GO for another REV.

If you're looking for things to do up there, Frank, you might hit that BIOMED switch over to the left position.

It's a little louder.

Hey, Ken; how did you pull duty on Christmas Eve? It happens to bachelors every time, doesn't it?
- Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Frank, it's looking like it's coming right down the pike. It's doing just what it is supposed to, and apparently, all our computer programs have got the right numbers in them because they're predicting where you're going.
- Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. They're detectable, but they're not changing, things enough to be anything more than—of interest.
- Frank Borman (CDR)
-
Fine. Hope they are as good with the corridor as they were with the LOI. That was beautiful.
- Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM)

Okay. We're about—inside 10 minutes till LOS. We'll be picking you up again at 85:40, and we'll have all of the TV types' information standing by. In the event that the situation develops again, for pointing accuracies, if I see anything that looks like a terminator or anything of that nature, I'm going to call the dark side of it 12 o'clock, and use that as a reference system, and we'll try that. If that doesn't dope out any problems with camera pointing, why I may try—call for a plus pitch, and then I'll just correct what I see to account for it.

Roger. We're not going to use the telephoto lens. I don't believe we'll be able to get a picture of the earth. It's going to have to be the terminator, the lunar surface. I'm looking at the earth right now; and we won't see it again during that period.
- Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Real fine then. And next time around, why, we'll take an extra special look at all of the parameters; we'll have our TEI PAD for you. And we'll use the last REV for a real good hack on all systems. I'll give you a rundown by system of all things we see and where they stand.
