You sound real bright eyed and bushy tailed. How's it going up there?

The one that I have now, and the one that Jim took off, which is obviously broken, it's still at 0.64.

Roger, Bill. On your PTC attitude, we're requesting a pitch angle zero, and we're showing you about 27 degrees pitch and increasing. Over.

Jim Lovell (CMP)

Mike, I'll just give you my status here before the rest of them go to sleep; had about 3 hours sleep, another meal, and everybody's doing fine.

I read you loud and clear not, Bill. I wasn't hearing here for a couple of calls. How do you read me?
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Understand. If it'll be any help to you in your PTC driving, we've computed that as you look out plus X in the COAS or just out the window, you should be pointed right at Acrux when you're in a perfect PTC attitude. We don't know if that's a help to you or not, but we thought you might enjoy trying an alternate mode of keeping the attitude under control.

Actually, Mike, it's so easy to do it with the eight-ball within a reasonable sloppy limit that it's hardly worth the trouble to scootch way up in the seat to look out the COAS, and it's enough light in the cockpit where the star really isn't too easy to see. So I'm kind of inclined to use the IFR technique here where you can see the rest of the instrument panel.

Well now, you just caused Flight down here to get a “Got Ya” on CAP COMM and FAO.

Apollo 8, Houston. We will be changing the antennas in 3 minutes. You can expect a COMM glitch. Over.

I was just seeing if you were still there, Mike. The Old Grey Eagle is taking over the show from here.
