Spacelog Apollo 8

Houston, Apollo 8.

Apollo 8, Houston. Over.

Apollo 8, this is Houston. Over.

Roger. Cislunar NAV accomplished. We did two sets on star 16, two sets on 22, and one set on 21.

Roger. Understand P23 completed, two sets on 16, two on 22, and one on 21.

Roger. It was getting a little late, so we didn't want to start on 26.

Houston, Apollo 8.

Apollo 8, Houston. Go ahead.

Is our previous PTC attitude okay for the next session?

Roger, Bill. The one that we updated an hour or so ago, (i.e., pitch 224, yaw 020) is a good one.

224 20. Roger.

Roger.

Apollo 8, Houston. We will change antennas in about 2 minutes. You can expect a glitch in your COMM.

Roger.

Roger.

How are all of the systems looking down there, Houston?

Apollo 8, Houston. You are looking good here in all respects.

Apollo 8, Houston. Over.

Apollo 8, this is Houston. Over.

Houston, Apollo 8. How do you read?

Houston, Apollo 8.

Roger. Apollo 8, Houston. Go ahead.

Roger. We are dumping some water we collected here, and we are ready to dump the waste water down to 25 percent. Do you concur?

Roger. We concur. We are standing by for your dump.

Alright. We've already started the other.

Apollo 8, Houston.

Apollo 8, this is Houston. Over.

Apollo 8, this is Houston. Over.

Roger. This is Apollo 8.

Roger. We are getting geared up down here to do the first of the COMM checks. We will be doing an OMNI COMM check, which is on your flight plan, listed mode 7.8, and we will let you know when we are ready to proceed.

Roger.

Apollo 8, Houston. Over.

Roger, Houston. We are dumping waste water now. How is the nozzle temperature?

Stand by. Looks good, Bill; 64 degrees. Over.

Roger. We just got an O₂ flow high from purging to vent line on the cabin.

Roger. Understand.

How is everything in Houston?

Oh, just fine, Frank. Everything down here is GO. How are you?

Fine. What is the news?

Well, did you get the intergalactic news summary we sent up to you a couple of hours ago? It might have been during your rest period. We gave you a couple of football scores. One of them in particular was—I don't know if you copied that—Army 21, Navy 14. Over.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven; testing out.

I got that one.

Roger. The Cowboys were destroyed by the Cleveland Browns yesterday. The Pueblo crew is expected to be released. And I now hear our air-to-ground has got a lot of background noise. Stand by; we are going to go through these COMM test modes on page 223 of the flight plan. Over.

Roger.
