05 01 12 05
Frank Borman (CDR): Right.
05 01 13 08
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Your friendly guidance officer has got a LM vector update for you and a CMC time update. Over.
05 01 13 17
Frank Borman (CDR): Okay. We'll go to P00. P00 in ACCEPT.
05 01 13 29
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
05 01 19 56
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, this is Houston. The updates are complete. The computer is yours. You can go to BLOCK.
05 01 20 05
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger; BLOCK.
05 01 20 50
Frank Borman (CDR): Houston. We won't transfer that state vector, since we are not going to do that MCC. Is that all right?
05 01 20 58
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Okay. Real fine, Frank.
05 01 21 03
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger.
05 01 22 53
Frank Borman (CDR): Houston, Apollo 8.
05 01 22 56
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Go.
05 01 23 00
Frank Borman (CDR): We are proceeding with the chlorination.
05 01 23 03
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
05 01 56 27
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. BIOMED switch to CENTER, please.
05 01 56 34
Frank Borman (CDR): Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
05 01 56 40
Frank Borman (CDR): MARK.
05 01 56 41
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
05 01 56 45
Jim Lovell (CMP): Old joke.
05 02 30 56
Frank Borman (CDR): Houston, Apollo 8. How do you read?
05 02 31 00
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Loud and clear.
05 02 31 03
Frank Borman (CDR): Okay, thank you, we are starting the P23.
05 02 31 09

Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
05 02 32 44
Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead.
05 02 32 45
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, this is Houston. We have lost all CMC data on you. The last data we had showed a high and middle gimbal angle. Over.
05 02 32 56
Frank Borman (CDR): No. I'm fine. How come you lost those CMC data.
05 02 33 01
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): I think maybe it was just your movement—movement out of PTC.
05 02 33 07
Frank Borman (CDR): I see, fine. Thank you, it was high. I was watching it though.
05 02 33 11
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Okay. We have data now.
05 02 50 33
Frank Borman (CDR): Houston, Apollo 8.

Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
05 02 50 39
Frank Borman (CDR): We are noticing our quad A helium tank is starting to go up again. You got any ideas on that.
05 02 50 45
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Yes. We are watching it too, Frank. So far, it's still okay and we are talking about it.
05 02 50 54
Frank Borman (CDR): Okay.
05 02 51 26
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
05 02 51 30
Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead.
05 02 51 31
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger, Frank, this helium tank in quad A—it looks like we may have bothered you up unnecessarily on this thing. It appears to be no problem as best as we can tell. We got a few of the minds together talking about it, and it's been down rated quite a bit. Also there—the folks down here monitoring the P23 suspect that Jim is shooting on star number 22 rather 02, so he may be having-some problems.
05 02 52 01
Jim Lovell (CMP): Oh no. We've changed; we are on star 02 on the moon.
05 02 52 07
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Okay.
05 02 52 25
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Frank, I may have to add some names to my chicken list.
05 02 52 31
Frank Borman (CDR): About what?
05 02 52 33
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Helium tank A, quad A.
05 02 52 37
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger. I just don't want to be the one that proves the fracture mechanics people are right.
05 02 52 45
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger, Frank.
05 02 52 54
Frank Borman (CDR): This attitude is going to have us right square into the sun, too.
05 02 53 00
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
05 03 22 08
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
05 03 22 13
Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead.
05 03 22 14
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. We are going to need some data from your past P23 marks. We missed some items, and so don't put it away and when you finish this next P23 we'll get it all together.
05 03 22 27
Frank Borman (CDR): Okay.
