A couple more good ones from Pete:
110:10:57 Conrad: You can turn the mirror on; give me the fox-corpen, and we got the hook down. 110:11:02 Carr: Roger. 110:11:06 Gordon: Roger. Fox-corpen, 285. Clear deck.
110:28:55 Conrad: (Garbled) you're out at 10,000 feet. Hook up your lanyard.
115:22:16 Conrad: (As he lands) Whoopie! Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me.

One thing that always amuses me is NASA's fairly unsophisticated search-and-replace Bowdlerization of Pete Conrad's language. I hope the asterisks are sufficient to meet the forum rules here - if not, mods, please delete this posting. 091:28:35 Conrad (onboard): Oh, you stupid son of a b*tch! God d*mn, these things are really about to p*ss me off! I get that c*ck-s*ck*r open, and the son of a b*tch shuts up again, and I'm - I really spend more freaking time trying to put g*dd*m water bags together than anything else. (Emphasis added).

And welcome to ApolloHoax, Tevildo! Glad to be on board. Another correction - more of a factual error than a typo, I'm afraid: www.clavius.org/envradintro.html"Rem" stands for "Roentgen equivalent man" (or "mammal", according to some sources), not "radiation" as quoted. Would it be too pedantic to point out that, although the curie, roentgen, rad, and rem are indeed _American_ units, they're still _metric_ units? Probably.
