Frank Borman (CDR): Houston, Apollo 8.
06 00 27 27
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Apollo 8, Houston. Read you loud and clear. We have taken a look at your potable water quantity problem, and it appears to be a transducer problem. Suggest that you leave the potable tank isolated. You have sufficient water in the waste tank to continue the entry. Over.

06 00 28 24
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Apollo 8, go ahead.
06 00 28 27
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger. Is our thermal stability good enough we can leave the PTC attitude and go to entry gimbal angles now?

06 00 58 06
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay. Thank you.

Jim Lovell (CMP): Go ahead, Houston.
06 01 02 19
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay, Apollo 8. If you will go to P00 and ACCEPT, we would like to update your LM and CSM state vectors. Over.
06 01 02 27
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger.
06 01 06 18
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. State vector load is complete. Verify the computer is yours.
06 01 06 35

06 01 11 00
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay. Two fast items: number one, it has been suggested that since Marezine takes some time to take effect, you might consider whether you would be interested in taking some now. And I have an entry PAD which has some very small updates to go on it if you would like to copy that.
06 01 11 22
Frank Borman (CDR): Okay. Stand by. Let me get out the entry PAD.
