Bruce then tries to get in touch with the telephone company to troubleshoot and has a great interaction with the operator: https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/?t=-10:50:22&ch=15
After much painful troubleshooting for half an hour, he calls Pat Collins again, but it's still not working: https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/?t=-10:39:29&ch=15

Apollo 11 Moments of Interest / 162:14:31 Retro's mysterious "police boat on Lake Houston" anecdote

Retro Chuck Deiterich tells Flight Director Glynn Lunney, apparently out of the blue: "Flight, I once got a ticket for doing that at a police boat out on Lake Houston, so you don't bother me!" The room explodes in laughter.
Anyone have any guesses??

Apollo 11 Moments of Interest / 166:33:33 FIDO is asked where the splashdown parties are
« Last post by Naraht on July 24, 2020, 02:28:42 am »https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/?t=166:33:33&ch=20
Also: https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/?t=167:18:34&ch=20
With the Flintlock closed, everyone is wondering where the good splashdown parties are going to be, and for some reason they think FIDO Jay Greene might know. But he hasn't heard any inside information: all he knows is that there's a sign on the Nassau Bay Hotel across the street for 5pm.
It sounds like that's where they ended up, if you read the oral histories. It also sounds like they had a bit too much fun.
Thomas Sanzone: "The Nassau Bay Resort Motor Inn—a hotel on NASA Road 1—actually had an NBC news studio on the very top floor, so they could shoot across [the street] to show the Manned Spacecraft Center. I remember that the grand piano at the Nassau Bay Resort Motor Inn ended up in the swimming pool on the night of Apollo 11."
Jay Greene: "Apollo 11 was the big blowout with the fabled piano in the swimming pool. I wouldn’t know. I think I passed out before we got that far."
And you can find a picture of the place here: https://www.chron.com/neighborhood/bayarea/news/article/Nassau-Bay-NASA-vintage-photos-50th-anniversary-15085883.php

General Discussion / Re: Apollo 11 Guidance loop very low
« Last post by Naraht on July 23, 2020, 10:57:17 am »Thank you so much for sharing this news. I have literally spent time lying awake in bed – intermittently over the past twenty years or so – worrying that these priceless historical sources wouldn't be preserved. This is wonderful news and I'll wait as patiently as I can.
