Vance Brand (CAPCOM): No. Gee, I don't know what shift he is on. But he comes in later, I guess.
05 03 46 13
Jack Swigert (CMP): Actually, all the shifts are morning shifts to us.
05 03 46 19
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Say that one again —
05 03 46 21
Jack Swigert (CMP): The Sun is always shining—All of the shifts are morning shifts to us, because the Sun is always shining.

05 03 46 28
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): That was a short night.
05 03 46 39
Jack Swigert (CMP): Just for curiosity's sake, are we still holding entry angle at 6.25?
05 03 46 59
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. Jack, right now we're told that it's closer to 6, and—But they would like to track it some more. Looks like your next midcourse will be in the order of 2 to 3 foot per second.
05 03 47 16
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
05 03 54 03
Jack Swigert (CMP): I just got a good view of the Southern Cross, Alpha and Beta Centauri, and Atria.
05 03 56 40
Jack Swigert (CMP): Houston, 13.
05 03 56 45
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Jack.
05 03 56 49
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. We're still in good shape as far as water goes in the LM?
05 03 56 56
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. We copy.
05 03 57 11
Jack Swigert (CMP): The reason I ask is I'm assuming that we are, and I have no idea each time I pressurize the surge tank to get water out of the command module, how much I drop that surge tank and if we are in good shape as far as water goes in the LM, we'd like to fill a couple of drink bags to get some water for drinking purposes.
05 03 57 37
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. Have you run out of CM drinking water. yet, Jack?
05 03 57 43
Jack Swigert (CMP): Oh, no, we've got plenty of drinking water. I think the—I don't have any idea what the surge tank pressure is.
05 03 57 57
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. It's 750 —
05 03 57 58
Jack Swigert (CMP): — and I don't have any —

Vance Brand (CAPCOM): It's 750, Jack.
05 03 58 02
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. 750.
05 03 58 33
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
05 03 58 38
Jack Swigert (CMP): Go ahead, Vance.
05 03 58 40
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. Stand by 1, Jack, and we'll give you an indication of how that water situation on the LM is—which is your question. Right?
05 03 58 51
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. But I guess what I was really asking is, if you'd have any violent objections if we filled two drink bags from LM water rather than repressurizing the surge tank.
05 03 59 03
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. Stand by on that.
05 03 59 04
Jack Swigert (CMP): Also, Jim is asleep up there and we didn't want to bother him, either.
05 03 59 10
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. We understand.
05 03 59 18
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): And, Jack, we'll be changing stations in 1 minute; so, we may have a temporary dropout in COMM.
05 03 59 26
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
05 04 02 09
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
05 04 02 18
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Vance. Go ahead. Loud and clear.
05 04 02 20
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay, Jack. We're going to bargain with you on this one. Instead of two, would—wish that you would just get just one bag full. That shouldn't do any harm; however —
05 04 02 32
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
05 04 02 33
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): — we are not all that fat on water that we want to do any drinking out of the LM as a regular thing after this one bag. So would you let us know when you get the water out and give us a mark on it so we can watch the TM. Over.
05 04 02 53
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Fred-o is about to withdraw the water now.
05 04 06 01
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Vance. We've withdrawn—oh, about 8 ounces of water.
05 04 06 09
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay, Jack. How's it taste?
05 04 06 18
Jack Swigert (CMP): It's—good. It's not quite as gaseous as that in the command module.
05 04 17 16
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston—or rather, Aquarius, Houston. Over.
05 04 17 23
Jack Swigert (CMP): Go ahead.
05 04 17 25
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Hey, Jack, we need another reading. Volts and amps.
05 04 17 29
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. They're coming up.
05 04 20 10
Jack Swigert (CMP): Vance, you won't believe this, but Fred-o says it's 39.4 and 1.245.
05 04 20 19
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. Our EECOM is recording those numbers. Charlie Dumas, this time.
05 04 20 27
Jack Swigert (CMP): Oh.
05 04 20 36
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Not changing very fast, is it?
05 04 20 42
Jack Swigert (CMP): How far out are we?
05 04 20 55
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. 953 and 6068 on velocity, per FIDO.
05 04 21 02
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
