The Other Side |
| Apollo Control, Houston, 2 minutes 50 seconds from time of L.O.S. |
| now |
| Our distance away from the Moon: 460 nautical miles |
| Velocity: 74−17 feet per second |
| Here in Mission Control we’re standing by |
| There’s uh certainly a great deal of anxiety at this moment |
| We acquire at 36 minutes, so |
| So at 68 hours 55 minutes, continuing to monitor |
| This is Apollo Control |
| So at this time we’re gonna stand by and continue to monitor the loops here in |
| Mission Control |
| For our 'go'/'no-go' decision |
| 1 minute 30 seconds away now from Loss Of Signal |
| Our distance away from the Moon now 401 nautical miles |
| Velocity reading: 75−35 |
| As we continue with this flight of Apollo 8 |
| Apollo 8, Houston, 1 minute to L.O.S., all systems go |
| Our flight control team in Mission Control here has examined the data and it |
| looks good |
| So we have a combined crew-ground decision |
| We are 'go' for lunar orbit insertion 1 |
| Apollo 8, 10 seconds to go, you’re 'go' all the way |
| We’ve had, uh, Loss Of Signal with Apollo 8 |
| At 68 hours 58 minutes 45 seconds |
| We will watch with continuing interest the A.O.S. |
| clock here in Mission Control |
| They’re travelling over the back side of the Moon now |
| Our velocity reading here: 7−7-7−7 feet per second |
| Now we’re in the of the longest wait |
| Continuing to monitor, this is Apollo Control, Houston |
| Apollo Control, Houston, we’ve acquired signal but no voice contact yet |
| We’re standing by |
| We’re looking at engine data and it looks good |
| Tank pressure’s looking good |
| Apollo 8, Apollo 8, this is Houston, Houston over |
| Right, we’ve got it, we’ve got it |
| Apollo 8 now in lunar orbit, there’s a cheer in this room |
| This is Apollo Control, Houston, switching now to the voice of Jim Lovell |
| The unmanned lunar spacecraft traversed the moon perhaps over 10,000 times |
| But this is the first that a man aboard reported to his compatriots here on |
| Earth |
