Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, thank you. We'll let you know if anything isn't okay. I'm sure it's good now.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Tell GNC and GUIDO thanks a lot for keeping good track of me, there.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger. They're right on the ball.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

And, 13, Houston. If you would like, we can let you know about every 2 minutes before the Earth should be coming into your window. We think we've got it pegged down pretty well now, and you won't have to look for it so much. You want that?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Yes. That would be fine, Vance.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

And, 13, Houston. GUIDO says the bits are reset—rather, are set.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

It's time for Fred to start looking for the Earth, should be coming by in about a couple of minutes.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. He's got his head out there right now.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Yes. You've got that pretty well pegged, man. There it be.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Doesn't that give you confidence?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Yes. I guess so. In a minute, you're going to hear my kitchen timer ding, and that also says the Earth is there.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. Stand … countdown.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Apollo 13, Houston. Over.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger. We're enjoying Fred's music there.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Yes, I kind of like it too, Vance.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Yes, we didn't hear much of it, though.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay, Vance, we did another EMS null bias test and the—it went from 100.0 to 101.8 in 100 seconds.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Jack, like to verify, was that 100 to 100.8 or 101.8?

Jack Swigert (CMP)

It was plus 100 to plus 101.8.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

The Earth's coming up in the window again in 1 to 2 minutes.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

He's got it. You're right again.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay, stand by for a mark here.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay, ready? 3, 2, 1 -
