Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Stand by 1. Are these updates or what?
01 05 29 56
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): I'm going to give you some high gain antenna angles for TV and the rest is just information, general words.
01 05 30 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead …
01 05 30 10
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Burn attitude for TV, your pitch and yaw angles are as follows: PITCH minus 1—minus 69, YAW 180, HIGH GAIN.
01 05 30 26
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
01 05 30 27

01 05 30 34
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Real fine.
01 05 30 36
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): And the last item's for Jack. Jack, the preliminary indications are that you can get a 60-day extension on your—filing your income tax if you're out of the country.
01 05 30 54
Jack Swigert (CMP): That's good news. I guess I qualify.
01 05 31 00
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Yes, we were just looking at the map, and you're south of Florida so you're not in the country now. But we wondered how about your car tags. Have you taken care of those?

Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Good.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM): 13, go ahead.

01 05 40 52
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger. Copy plus 100 to plus 101.5, and that agrees fairly closely with the last one, as I recall.

Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Fine.
01 05 45 46

01 05 46 08
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Whoops.
01 05 46 44
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Houston; 13. We're a little bit ahead of ourselves. Do we have a GO to do the fuel cell purge and the waste water dump?
01 05 46 57

Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay.
01 06 12 04
Jack Swigert (CMP): Houston, 13. Are you still planning to have TV at the scheduled time?

Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Vance.
01 06 14 04
Fred Haise (LMP): Can you—Think you could guess what that might be, Vance? Better than Charlie?
01 06 14 14
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): I don't want to start flipping coins at this point.
01 06 14 21
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Vance. We're pointed just a little ways off from looking directly at the Moon. Jim is holding the camera through window 3. The Sun is coming at about 40 degrees off our left side, and what we are going to show you in just a minute is about 30 seconds of waste water dump and just show you just what it looks like. It's really fantastic.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. We'd like to see that.
01 06 15 29
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. We saw some droplets speeding out for a little while, Jack. Now we don't see anything.
01 06 15 40
Jim Lovell (CDR): Actually, Vance, what you're looking at is solid water droplets coming out just about all the time. It lights up the whole sky around the Moon. It's Just far too fine for you to see. Now I think they're coming out a little thicker.
01 06 15 53
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. Yes, we see those.
01 06 16 01
Jim Lovell (CDR): Jack's complaining about seeing stars.
01 06 16 16
