Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. One degree on the center of the Earth.
03 12 42 13
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That was a good TV show you put on the other night, Fred, during LM entry.
03 12 42 26
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes. It would have been an even better one about 10 minutes later.
03 12 42 50
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Yes. Things sure turned to worms there in a hurry after that show.
03 12 43 12
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes. You're right.
03 12 43 28
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. The center of the Moon new is about minus 2 degrees LPD.
03 12 43 35
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Minus 2 degrees, center of the Moon.
03 12 44 44
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Charlie said to say hello.
03 12 44 51
Fred Haise (LMP): Who's that?
03 12 44 53
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Charlie.
03 12 44 58
Fred Haise (LMP): Is he still around there?
03 12 45 16
Fred Haise (LMP): Unless my watch is wrong, it says it's almost 2 a.m. back there.
03 12 45 22

03 12 45 29
Fred Haise (LMP): Oh! Okay.
03 12 46 15
Fred Haise (LMP): Hey, tell Charlie that I'll be back down there personally to thank him for this baby.
03 12 46 28
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Sure will. I did.
03 12 50 21
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. The Earth went by there, Jack, at LPD about 18 degrees.
03 12 50 28
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. We copy 18 degrees for the center of the Earth.
03 12 53 56
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. The Moon—I'd estimate it up around minus—somewhere 17 to minus 20 degrees LPD.
03 12 54 07
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. Moon's minus 17 to minus 20.
03 12 55 14
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): How would you like to spend a week on an aircraft carrier getting back?
03 12 55 28
Fred Haise (LMP): If I can get on an aircraft carrier, I don't care how long it takes, Jack.
03 12 56 28
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): They're going to take you by helo to Samoa. You'll spend the night in Samoa, get on a 141, and be at Ellington shortly thereafter.
03 12 56 46
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Kind of sounds like the original plans for the …
03 12 57 24
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Had you worrying that you're going to spend the night on the ship, helo to Samoa and directly to Ellington.

03 12 57 35
Fred Haise (LMP): Very good.
03 12 58 27
Fred Haise (LMP): Boy, these thrusters are sure … …
03 12 58 35
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Fred, I'm not reading you. Maybe we'd better wait until we change antennas or unless you can speak up a little louder.
03 12 58 43
Fred Haise (LMP): How do you read now?
03 12 58 45
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Better.
03 12 58 49
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. The thrusters … and the … outside … and they hardly look like they … …
03 12 59 12
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Gee, I'm sorry, Fred. We're just not reading you right now. Maybe we'll have to wait a little bit.
03 12 59 20
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
03 12 59 29
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Let's try it now. If you can speak up, the background noise has gone down a little bit.
03 12 59 37
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. How do you read now?
03 12 59 39
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): A little better.
03 12 59 44
Fred Haise (LMP): I was just commenting—I've been looking here at the thrusters on quads 1 and 4. We've got a slight discoloration on the outside of the barrel. The nozzles look like they hadn't ever been fired,—like they're brand new. … of like those skinny things on the interior on the upper nozzle …
03 13 00 14
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): You say the coloration of the thrusters appears they haven't been fired on quads 1 and 4?
03 13 00 24
Fred Haise (LMP): I'm saying all of them look clean again. I guess they've fired so clean that they don't seem to … at all. … different color, … copper, bronze, color of the oxygen cell. They've been fired because I watched them fire. Okay. The Earth's going by at an LPD of 42.
03 13 00 58
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. Copy LPD 42. Is that affirm?
03 13 01 03
Fred Haise (LMP): That's affirm.
03 13 01 17
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, Fred, that may be why the COMM is a little bit degraded, more background noise, because we're getting out of attitude a little bit there.
03 13 01 28
Fred Haise (LMP): Roger.
03 13 03 38
Fred Haise (LMP): How do you read on AFT OMNI now …?
03 13 03 43
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): I'm reading you, Fred. I've got a lot of background noise. Looks like it might come and go with attitude.
03 13 03 54
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes. I think that's probably—just looking through the command module at you now.
03 13 04 45
Fred Haise (LMP): How do you read now, Jack?
03 13 04 47
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): About the same, Fred.
03 13 04 52
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
03 13 05 08
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. And the Moon just went by at about minus 14 degrees.
