...What The Hell Was That?...
That was Dick Gordon, 37 seconds into the mission:
000:00:33 Conrad: Roll's complete.
000:00:33 Bean (onboard): This thing moves, doesn't it?
000:00:34 Carr: Roger, Pete. [Pause.]
000:00:37 Gordon (onboard): What the hell was that?
000:00:38 Conrad (onboard): Huh?
000:00:39 Gordon (onboard): I lost a whole bunch of stuff; I don't know ...
000:00:40 Conrad (onboard): Turn off the buses.
Public Affairs Office - "40 seconds."
000:00:42 Carr: Mark.
000:00:43 Carr: One Bravo.
000:00:43 Conrad (onboard): Roger. We had a whole bunch of buses drop out.
000:00:44 Conrad: Roger. We [garble] on that. [Long pause.]
000:00:45 Bean (onboard): There's nothing - it's nothing ...
000:00:47 Gordon (onboard): A circuit ...
000:00:48 Conrad (onboard): Where are we going?
000:00:50 Gordon (onboard): I can't see; there's something wrong.
000:00:51 Conrad (onboard): AC Bus 1 light, all the fuel cells ...
000:00:56 Conrad (onboard): I just lost the platform.
Public Affairs Office - "Altitude a mile and a half now. Velocity 1,592 feet per second."
000:01:00 Bean: [Garble] Got your GDC.
000:01:02 Conrad: Okay, we just lost the platform, gang. I don't know what happened here; we had everything in the world drop out.
000:01:08 Carr: Roger.
Public Affairs Office - "Plus one."
000:01:09 Gordon (onboard): I can't - There's nothing I can tell is wrong, Pete.
000:01:12 Conrad: I got three fuel cell lights, an AC bus light, a fuel cell disconnect, AC bus overload 1 and 2, Main Bus A and B out.
I liked the documentary where they played Pete Conrad laughing all the way into orbit:
000:06:43 Gordon (onboard): Man, oh man ...
000:06:44 Bean (onboard): Isn't that a ...
000:06:45 Conrad (onboard): Wasn't that a SIM they ever gave us?
000:06:46 Gordon (onboard): Jesus!
000:06:50 Conrad (onboard): [Laughter].
000:06:51 Gordon (onboard): That was something else. I never saw so many...
000:06:52 Conrad (onboard): [Laughter].
000:06:54 Gordon (onboard): ...There were so many lights up there, I couldn't even read them all.
000:06:55 Conrad (onboard): [Laughter].
000:06:57 Gordon (onboard): There was no sense reading them because there was - I was - I was looking at this; Al was looking over there ...
000:07:02 Conrad (onboard): Everything looked great [laughter] except we had all the lights on...
000:07:05 Carr: Apollo 12, Houston. You're right smack dab on the trajectory; your IU is doing a beautiful job.
000:07:10 Conrad: Okay. We're all chuckling up here over the lights. We all said there were so many on we couldn't read them. [Long pause.]
Public Affairs Office - "Downrange, 557 miles now."
Ooops, I forgot. All this was faked, according to the HBs. At least Pete made an excellent job of faking his laughter.
