Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. I'm on the other OMNI now. I just said that you're coming in even louder than previously.
03 12 01 24
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. Maybe it's because I'm standing up. You're coming in better now, too.
03 12 04 46
Fred Haise (LMP): And, for your information, Jack, I'm just going to tear into some beef and gravy and other assorted goodies.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): I presume that you're doing this with the full permission and—of the commander.
03 12 05 19
Fred Haise (LMP): And this—at this moment, who do you think is the commander?
03 12 05 31
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): If I was him, I'd make you sign out everything you ate, so I'd know.
03 12 05 56
Fred Haise (LMP): Well, I'm sneaking inside of the LM where he doesn't have … Incidentally, this PTC must have some—must have a wobble mode around our X-axis there because now the Moon and Earth are back in the right perspective.
03 12 06 18
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Good. Let's see if it goes the other way.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): These guys down here are saying they knew it all the time.
03 12 06 56
Fred Haise (LMP): Well, that's right. They do good work. Whoever heard of doing a P52 in the LM?
03 12 08 48
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Say, Fred, sometime when you're not too busy chewing on that beef, how about telling us what the CO₂ reads?
03 12 09 03
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, I'm reading 13, 1 3.
03 12 09 07
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. It looks like our reading is getting kind of close to yours.
03 12 14 39
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes. It appears the wobble is going the other way, Jack, because the Earth is now rising and the Moon is starting to get lower in the window.
03 12 14 52
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. Could you give us an LPD number periodically?
03 12 15 02
Fred Haise (LMP): LPD number? Yes, okay.
03 12 15 09
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): In fact, if you could give it two or three REVs in a row, why then we could predict where it's going and maybe help us set it up again if we have to.
03 12 15 22
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
03 12 15 36
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. The center of the Earth has just gone by at an LPD number of 4.
03 12 15 42
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. LPD 4, center of the Earth.
03 12 20 59
Fred Haise (LMP): And the center of the Moon is about LPD 21.
03 12 21 04
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. LPD 21. Is that the center of the Moon, you say?
03 12 21 11
Fred Haise (LMP): That's affirm.
03 12 22 52
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, Fred, we're doing a little better on our water than we had anticipated. Our numbers were designed for 3.5 pounds per hour; we're using about 3.0, and expect to go a little bit less.
03 12 23 11
Fred Haise (LMP): Beautiful.
03 12 23 32
Fred Haise (LMP): When this flight's all over, we'll really be able to figure out what a LM can do.
03 12 24 02
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Maybe it'll make the …
03 12 24 09
Fred Haise (LMP): If it had a heat shield, I'd say bring it home.
03 12 27 18
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. The Earth went—just went by about—clear above the LPD index. It was—it was, if it were extended, the number would be minus 6.
03 12 27 34
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. Way up there at minus 6.
03 12 27 41
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes, there's actually no such number. I just extended the line beyond zero which, for a negative rate, is what it would be if there was one.
03 12 27 53
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Right. If minus 6 was there, that's where it would be. Right?
03 12 28 02
Fred Haise (LMP): That's right.
03 12 28 13
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Do you still have that super-dense star field?
03 12 28 25
Fred Haise (LMP): It's still there. I'm looking at it right now. I can look at—the Sun is right behind me, then all these sparklies show up. Yes. It kind of looks like I'm right in the middle of the—of the Milky Way. There are several thousand little sparklies at various ranges out as far as I can see …
03 12 29 18
Fred Haise (LMP): They're kind of interesting. They're all moving … and sparkling there. And I can …—at least I think I can what will occasionally give you a real star from the bunch of sparklies, but it really does break up the capability to pick out a star pattern, particularly through …
03 12 29 52
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. So far, we haven't identified what the sparklies are and what is venting.
03 12 30 12
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes, I got a. … feeling that we probably won't get any … until we power up.
03 12 34 08
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): How you feeling, Fred?
03 12 34 16
Fred Haise (LMP): Oh, as soon as I chug down this grape drink and grapefruit—orange drink, I think I'll be in pretty good shape.
03 12 34 38
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): How much sleep did you get between the burn and the time you got up for this exercise?
03 12 34 50
Fred Haise (LMP): Oh, I'd guesstimate about 4 hours, Jack. Wait a minute, which burn you talking about?
03 12 35 03
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): It was the burn we just made. Did you get any sleep between it, and the time you got up for this watch?
03 12 35 12
Fred Haise (LMP): Oh, no. I didn't—I haven't been to bed since all the action the night before, and I went to go to bed for about 4 hours then …
03 12 35 22
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Yes.
03 12 35 38
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Well, we're just trying to figure out who's likely to be the most tired up there. You or Jim.
03 12 35 55
Fred Haise (LMP): I think we'll get caught up pretty good in the next couple of days.
03 12 36 00
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Say again.
03 12 36 04
Fred Haise (LMP): We ought to get caught up pretty good in the next couple of days.
03 12 38 56
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Jack. The Earth has started back down. The hack on the LPD there was 1 degree.
