112:56:27 Aldrin Discovers a Broken Circuit Breaker
« on: July 19, 2026, 06:49:11 pm »
https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/?t=112:56:27 This has been in the news lately due to the pen used to replace the broken switch cap selling at auction. The story got me hunting the transcripts, and here it is.

https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/?t=122:36:35 May be the moment it is pushed in.

https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/?t=123:20:44 Here is Aldrin's report that it is in, and he isn't getting it out if he wanted to.

And https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/?t=111:38:07 is presumably the bumping that knocked it off... :-)

Found a whole discussion about the new procedure required because of the broken circuit breaker.
