Right. Just wanted to verify—We had poor reception when I was talking to you before—I wanted to verify that you understand that the Sun check you made earlier in the AOT was good, and that's what we're riding on. Anything that we told you in the past about looking at the Sun in the front left window or looking at stars, like Nunki through the AOT, why, we want to forget.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Roger. Understand, Vance. I think Nunki would be kind of hard to see anyway with the Moon right here.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

And, Vance, we plan to start powering up at 78:12. Is that a good time or do you think we ought to hold off a little longer?

Fred, after the burn, we'll get the powerdown instructions, or checklist changes to you. At the same time, we'd like to get a consumables status to you. All I'll say right now is that we think you look in reasonably good shape.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. One CAUTION AND WARNING light here showing that you didn't call out—it's the PRE AMPS—I suppose because we don't have the ATCA breaker in yet.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
That's—That's affirm, Jim. All we need is UPDATA LINK circuit breaker closed on panel 11, and P00 and ACCEPT and we can ship it up to you. P00 and DATA.

Jim, request verify RANGING FUNCTION switch is in RANGING. We need that, if it's not there now.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger, Fred. I would like to confirm that you are getting drinking water out of, potable water out of the command module and, if you can make any estimates of how much you use as time goes on, and how much you have used, we would appreciate it for our consumables analysis.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, Jack. Tried the procedure and out of that pressure, we got 10 drinks made. That's roughly 80 ounces.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Fred, we had a little static on that one, but I think you said that 80 ounces of water has been used out of the CM. Is that right?
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Yes. Jack worked the procedure and filled as many of the drinks as he could, and he made up ten bags of approximately 8 ounces a bag.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Jim, just a bit of information, if for any reason you had to slip Tig, our people here feel it wouldn't do much harm if you slipped it up to 30 minutes. The procedure, of course as you know, is not to PRO on the flashing 99 and we thought you might like to be aware that Tig time isn't all that critical.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. I think it's finally coming through to us here, what you said just a little while ago. Were you suggesting that we move the Tig up 30 minutes?
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
No, not at all. We're just giving you excess information. Just saying if you had any problem at all it could be slipped.
