Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
You know, somehow, everytime I do a set of P23s, you guys uplink me a state vector. I don't think I do too well.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
No. You know—you know how the FIDOs are. They like to load in their own data, no matter what.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
And as a matter of interest, understand that the downrange comparison between the MCC and the computer is within 35000 feet, and that's on the last sighting, which people think is pretty good.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. Maybe that gives us a little more confidence that if we had to do P23s on the way home, we'd make it.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Just info on your PTC, Jim. It's looking very good. Just—excursions in pitch and yaw are very low.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Well, a minute ago, he said that to tell you that he was pacified now after your past comments on his trajectory and so forth, and he hadn't seen any waste water dumps or anything and he's pretty happy.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. BAT C 37, PYRO BAT A 37, PYRO BAT B 37, RCS A 97 percent, B 97 percent, C 96 percent, D 97 percent.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Jim, just an item for you and Fred to be thinking about in case you haven't been briefed on this, something that's now being talked about a little bit. These conservative people would like to have you read the SHe tank pressure when you go into the LM for the LM familiarization at 58 hours. If there's no midcourse-3, and it looks like there's a good chance that there will not be, why, they might want to move the LM familiarization up from 58 to 55 hours. Over.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. If we don't have a midcourse-3, then we'll probably move LM FAM up to 55 hours, in which case we'll go in there and read SHe tank pressure.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Along with the other FAM stuff, and it's not certain that we want to do this, it's just being talked about, so this is just the information for you.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Oh, we just finished eating and cleaning up a bit afterwards. Jim's going around collecting debris off of all the inlet hoses. And, I guess you might say we're kind of thinking about getting ready to go to sleep.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Sounds like you guys are really living it up up there. All that music, food. I didn't say drink.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Yes, it is pretty nice. Not bad at all. You're right; you didn't say it. This PTC we're in is a pretty—pretty nice merry-go-round, Vance. Every 10 minutes alternately I get to look at the Earth and the Moon.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
No, it's a lot—a lot better. I remember from 8 when they didn't hardly ever get to look at either one.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
It's pretty cloudy down there tonight. About the only land I can see again is a portion of Australia and Korea and looks like a part of China. Just about clouds covering everything else.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Can you still see that clearly with the naked eye, or do you have to look through a glass?
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
I can see Australia with the naked eye and the China landmass, but I—It took the monocular to pull out the Korean Peninsula.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
I understand that they're estimating your pericynthion—lunar pericynthion is now 62 miles.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. We're into the presleep checklist now. As far as the crew status report, as far as medication goes, we've had no medication. And we're all feeling really good. I've given you the onboard readouts. Jim is chlorinating the potable water now. I'm ready for an E-memory dump whenever you're ready.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Stand by 1 on the E-memory dump, Jack. I think we'll be ready in about a minute.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
And EECOM says that as soon as you stir your cryos, request you go back to AUTO on that one tank.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. We saw the downvoice subperiod come on. We thought maybe you were trying to call. Sorry. I hope we haven't disturbed you and from where I sit, it looks like you're running a rest home up there. Good night.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
We're all going to bed now just after we play the last rendition of “With Our Eyes on the Stars.”
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim. If we need you, we'll send a crew alert, and we'd like to know who's got the duty tonight on the BIOMED. Is that you?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. We copy, and you're spoiling my good record of two watches without saying anything.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Ah so. I just thought I'd be waking up. And we are awake and getting the spacecraft shipshape. …
-
CapCom
-
Roger. Spacecraft is in real good shape as far as we're concerned, Jim. We're bored to tears down here. We do have a few little items for you, like a P37 update and a couple of flight plan updates. But there's no rush about them. Over.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. Gig us again in a few minutes. We're breaking out some food, and we'll copy them then.

Righto. If he's listening, LMP had a solid 9 hours of sleep; I couldn't wake him up this morning. The CMP had 6 hours, and the commander about 5 intermittent.
