… he's never been through a command module activation.

… Oh, wait a minute; I'm sorry I didn't see it. …

…

I'll tell you, why don't you put—under your restraining cable; just stow it under your restraining cable there. And that will keep, then, until we're ready for them.

Can I have my juice?

… there's an orange in yours.

Yes, I've got to get the launch checklist. And we're going to go over initial switch configuration. And get all those …

Okay; Houston; Aquarius.

Aquarius, Houston. Go ahead.

Okay, Joe, I'm ready to start on that command module switch configuration. That's on page L 1-1.

Okay, Jack. Understand you are ready for the switch configuration checklist. And I have in front of me the lift-off configuration, page L 1-1. Are you with me? Over.

I'm right with you.

Okay. I'll read these in bunches of three or four at a time, some of them are the same, some of them are changed, and you can read them back every few steps. EMS FUNCTION to OFF; EMS MODE to STANDBY, no change; GTA, off, down, no change; and GTA cover, secure, no change. Over.

Let me ask you. SM RCS propellant talkbacks, four, barber poles. And you want the switches? And you think …?
