Apollo 8 radio transcript
I'm trying to find a portion of the Apollo 8 radio transcript - the
part that says "you are go for the Moon." At least I'm pretty sure it was Apollo 8, unless CapComs uttered that phrase for TLI on other flights. Does anyone have a verbatim transcript of that passage, including at what time in the mission it was sent? T |

So did they say "you are go for the moon?" Or is that just Apollo mythology, or creative license from the writers of "From the Earth to the Moon?" T The only way they *ever* put it was "you're go for TLI"...I've never seen "From the Earth to the Moon" (I know...I should be flogged ) -- how did they put it in the miniseries? I believe they did add the "You are go for the Moon" in the miniseries. I suspect I never really noticed it because that's always what I was thinking when I heard the words :-) uray |

Apollo 8 radio transcript
Now here is an odd thing. Once they did the Trans Lunar Injection, the cabin
air went to 100% oxygen. Thought that went out with Apollo 1. Learn something every day. http://history.nasa.gov/ap08fj/03day1_green_sep.htm ------- 003:14:29 Borman: You got any reading on that O2 flow? 003:14:52 Collins: We're reading about the same as we were before that oxygen flow. The reason it's that high is due to the cabin gas changeover. According to Apollo 7, if your data repeats theirs, you can expect it to be high for another few hours. 003:15:10 Borman: Roger. Thank you [On the ground, prior to flight, the Apollo Command Module has an atmosphere which is maintained at 60% oxygen and 40% nitrogen. This mixture is sufficient to inhibit the kind of oxygen-fed fire that claimed the lives of the Apollo 1 crew. Once in space, the mixed cabin air is replaced with pure oxygen, supplied from two tanks in the Service Module.] ------- |
