As a matter of fact, right now would be a good time to men­

Borman
Nominal was 25 804 and address 72 read 25 804.
Lovell
Can you imagine that? Right t o th~· foot!
25 804.
I could
not believe it when I punched it up.
Borman
The orbit quantities were given to us, I think,by Bermuda..
0£ course, at this time we really were not interested in
them, although they were sort of nice in.formation.
We had
a GO/NO GO.
Lovell
It was 87-178
the initial forward quantity that was
called up to ue.
Borman
Tha l'!1JU readouts : Jim read 72 and when he saw it was 25, 804,
we had a GO/NO GO from the ground.
I do not believe you
even rea4 the rest of them out, did you?
Lovell
No, I did not bother reading out the rest of the addresses
94, 97, 52, or 73, because I saw the 72 nominal. I saw the
IVI's were right in there so we did not bother reading out
anything else.
Borman
Debris • I did not notice a:ny debris.
Lovell
I noti-od debris. I was looking out at Spacecraft SEP and
Jet Fairing, and noticed debris.
I also noticed debris be­
t ween the spacecraft and booster when we first turned around.
