From CAPCOM, Apollo 11 Transcript at 04 06 49 39
CC "Eagle, Houston. You loaded R2 wrong. We want 10254."
Now how interesting is that!!!!!
Interesting, I'll say! Especially after one reads this in Flight International Magazine from 21 August 1969, from Angus McPherson's piece, "The Eagle's Roost";
"The last reading given on the Eagle DSKY(display key-board) before touchdown was Lat 0 41' 15" N, Long 23 26' 00" E"
What a pity the CAPCOM and his colleagues knew what was on the Eagle DSKY and for some odd reason Neil an Buzz, for the life of them couldn't figure out where they were. Matter of fact, there was a whole squad of US Geological Survey people looking for the Eagle based on the description Armstrong and Aldrin were providing of the Hollywood terrain at "Tranquility Base". Perhaps the astronauts should have provided the US Geological Survey crew with a description of the DSKY in front of their noses instead of trying to describe the powder on the stage lot. Funny how lies always surface, even when you try and hide them on the moon.
