Jack Swigert (CMP)

See it there. Like two black clouds.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Well, you know what this burn is buying us; 10 hours.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Might be a good idea.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Hey, that's pretty extensive, Jim. You can locate it and get it halfway through the …

Jim Lovell (CDR)

It's on the AOT. Well, maybe not.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Fred Haise (LMP)

… we made a maneuver.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

No, from our explosion.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Take a look. It covers a wide area. God, that dark cloud. … Like a pair of contrails. Only if you switch the detent, they go on around. How long to LOS? Is that right?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

I'd sure like to try the detent 2, but I guess our damn platform's okay, isn't it?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. Over.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, Jim. We have a little over 2 minutes until LOS, and everything's looking good here.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Roger. Yes. I take it that we don't have to start our activations until we receive AOS from you.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

You … up our edibles? … water? …

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Good morning, Houston. How do you read?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Jack Swigert (CMP)

We'll see where … zooming off.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Oh, yes, yes, we're no longer 139 miles. We're leaving.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Yes, look at that curvature.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

That might be Crisium ever there, Fred.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Oh, yes; way off on the horizon, there, yes.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Hey, if you want to use the 250? There's a beautiful shot of Tsiolkovsky which we very seldom have.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Well, at this stage of the game beggars can't be choosers, I guess.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Yes, and we can't afford the amps to use the heaters.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

All right. You're in zero phase up here.

Jim Lovell (CDR)
