Fred Haise (LMP)

Yes. It kind of surprised us.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

I guess that's what happens when you cut a lot out of a checklist.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Yes. Yes, we're taking about a thousand pictures in between steps there, too.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, Houston; Aquarius, radio check.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. I had a change in the background noises, wondered if you were still there.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Houston, Aquarius. Go ahead, Houston

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, Aquarius. We have some new information regarding what you should see out the commander's window at Tig Over.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

According to calculations—calculations, you should see the Moon. It'll be a full Moon. You should see most of the disk and it should be somewhere on your vertical LPD line, probably at about 14 on the LPD scale. Over. Roughly centered on 14.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay, Houston. I concur. I'm looking at 14 on the LPD and the angle is just about centered. It's south of Crisium, but its—The line is just slightly to the north of center.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, Jim. That sounds very good. We see that you have a slight yaw angle, so it should be north of center.

Jim, you are GO for the burn. GO for the burn.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Roger. I understand. GO for the burn.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, 2 minutes and 40 seconds to go on the mark.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Stand by. That was incorrect. Three minutes—Counting down to 3 minutes, and I'll give you a mark, and I'll take into consideration 2 seconds.
