I'd like to keep this one kind of short because we're trying to get some sleep earlier than yesterday.
- 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.
- Jerry Carr (CAPCOM)
-
Apollo 8, Houston. Would you put the BIOMED switch on the right side now, please?
- Frank Borman (CDR)
-
That is what you wanted, isn't it? I thought that is what it was all squared away for.
- 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.
- Frank Borman (CDR)
-
Do you want to take both red filters on there or just the one for the one for the filter holder?
- 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.
- 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.
- Jerry Carr (CAPCOM)
-
Frank, the doctors say they are not getting anything on Bill yet. Apparently, he is not plugged up.
- Frank Borman (CDR)
-
He is down underneath the couch getting some stuff out; he doesn't have his umbilical on.
- Frank Borman (CDR)
-
Tell them to look at the stuff they got yesterday. He hasn't changed at all, just as mean as ever.
- Jerry Carr (CAPCOM)
-
Hey, Frank, this simulation has really been great. What do you say after these photos we recycle back to TLI again?
- 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.
- Frank Borman (CDR)
-
Great. A most fantastic voyage.

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.
- Jim Lovell (CMP)
-
Jerry, what I was saying before: I tried to hurry up the voyage home by calling up PROGRAM 01 to get us back on the PAD, but it didn't work.
- Jerry Carr (CAPCOM)
-
Apollo 8, Houston.
Expand selection down Contract selection up - Jim Lovell (CMP)
-
Roger. This is one of those rare occasions where Bill left his seat and I am now sitting in it, and for the first time, I can see the earth. I'm looking through his monocular; it's pretty nice.
- Jim Lovell (CMP)
-
Well, we could see South America and Florida and through the lower part of the U.S. Looks like there is a weather front going over into the central part of the United States, lot of clouds over the northwest area. Florida is clear; it looks like the east coast is pretty clear.
- Jerry Carr (CAPCOM)
-
We are seeing about half of it. You moved in the wrong direction. Okay. It's coming back, a little more. Good, now a shade toward the terminator.
- Jerry Carr (CAPCOM)
-
A little bit more toward the terminator and in the same direction you were moving it before. Right; you have got it centered right in the middle.
- Jerry Carr (CAPCOM)
-
Affirmative. Frank, move your camera to the right; I want to see which way the earth moves on my screen.
- Jerry Carr (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Moving your camera to the right moves the earth to the left on our screen. On our screen, the terminator is almost parallel to the horizontal direction, and the dark part is on the top.
