It’s sometimes amusing to listen to some of the air to ground transmission on the #Apollo flights. A lot of the chatter is the #astronauts talking about #poo, actually #p00, with no hint of adolescent smirking, like this gem on #Apollo12:
109:46:48 Conrad: And, Houston, whenever you’re ready, we’re ready to give you P00 and Data.
P00 was the quiescent state of the #Guidance#Computer where it was ready to receive instructions and data either from the #DSKY#keyboard or #Houston.
@mkwadee Conrad was a funny joker on his own. He won a bet with a journalist about the 1st words when stepping on the moon. A man bet that Nasa wouldn't allow Conrad to say whatever he want (speculating on Neils famous words)
Conrad stepped out of the LEM: " It was a small step for Neil but it is a huge one to me " 😎🙄
