Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger, Frank. That is fine. Do you have the gimbal angles you need?
05 07 15 26
Frank Borman (CDR): Yes, thank you. I got them earlier today.
05 07 15 29
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Okay.
05 07 15 43
Frank Borman (CDR): I'd like to keep this one kind of short because we're trying to get some sleep earlier than yesterday.
05 07 15 52
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Say again, Frank. You are getting pretty garbled.
05 07 16 03
Frank Borman (CDR): How is that antenna?
05 07 16 05
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Loud and clear, Frank.
05 07 16 07
Frank Borman (CDR): I said, will this be a short one? We are trying to hurry things up a little bit to see if we can get as much sleep as possible.
05 07 16 15
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
05 07 16 38
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Would you put the BIOMED switch on the right side now, please?
05 07 16 44
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger.
05 07 16 50
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Frank, do you intend to start your TV before 128?
05 07 17 02
Frank Borman (CDR): Negative; no.
05 07 17 04
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
05 07 17 05
Frank Borman (CDR): That is what you wanted, isn't it? I thought that is what it was all squared away for.
05 07 17 10
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Affirmative.
05 07 18 22
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Are you planning on using the wide angle lens?
05 07 18 28
Frank Borman (CDR): I think that would be best.
05 07 18 31
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Okay. Jack says you want to be sure and use the red filter and the filter holder for that One. It takes a little darker filter.
05 07 18 40
Frank Borman (CDR): Okay.
05 07 18 57
Frank Borman (CDR): Do you want to take both red filters on there or just the one for the one for the filter holder?
05 07 19 10
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): He thinks just the red one on the filter holder will do, but might not hurt to have the other one ready, just in case.

Frank Borman (CDR): How about if we use the telephoto? It will be a little harder to focus, but it might end up a better picture.
05 07 19 52
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger, Frank. If you want to use the telephoto lens, you ought to use the same combination you used going out, the 25A.
05 07 20 02
Frank Borman (CDR): Okay.
05 07 22 12
Frank Borman (CDR): Hey, Jerry.
05 07 22 17
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger, Frank.
05 07 22 19
Frank Borman (CDR): Ask your EECOM how many gallons of fuel we burned for TEI, will you?
05 07 22 24
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. In work, he's breaking out his sathometer now.
05 07 23 04
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. We will be handing over to Goldstone in 2 minutes. Over.
05 07 23 14
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger, Jerry.
05 07 23 58
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Frank, the doctors say they are not getting anything on Bill yet. Apparently, he is not plugged up.
05 07 24 07
Frank Borman (CDR): He is down underneath the couch getting some stuff out; he doesn't have his umbilical on.
05 07 24 12
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Okay.
05 07 24 17
Frank Borman (CDR): Tell them to look at the stuff they got yesterday. He hasn't changed at all, just as mean as ever.
05 07 24 30
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
05 07 24 43
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Hey, Frank, this simulation has really been great. What do you say after these photos we recycle back to TLI again?
05 07 24 54
Frank Borman (CDR): That's fine. Bring on the backup crew.
05 07 24 57
Jim Lovell (CMP): Hey, Jerry, yesterday I tried to cycle back to the pass and 01 was lunar.
05 07 25 05
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Jim, we missed that. Say it again when you get a better antenna.
05 07 25 14
Frank Borman (CDR): Don't blame your antenna problems on us …
05 07 25 29
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. We are not reading you; stand by one.
05 07 26 50
Frank Borman (CDR): Houston, do you read now?
05 07 26 51
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Loud and clear.
05 07 26 57
Frank Borman (CDR): I say, Bill will be ready in a minute; he is cycling back and forth under the couch trying to get the TV stuff out.
05 07 27 01
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Okay.
05 07 27 06
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Backup crew says they are ready to go.
05 07 27 12
Frank Borman (CDR): Great. A most fantastic voyage.
05 07 27 24
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Sure was.
05 07 27 27
Frank Borman (CDR): We're not through yet. We've still got 100 000 miles to go. You know, we kind of feel like it was all over with TEI, but we're still a long way.
