The Other Side (Maps Remix) Lyrics

Apollo Control, Houston, 2 minutes 50 seconds from time of L.O.S. now
Our distance away from the Moon: 460 nautical miles
Velocity: 74-17 feet per second
Here in Mission Control we're standing by
There's uh certainly a great deal of anxiety at this moment
We acquire at 36 minutes, so
So at 68 hours 55 minutes, continuing to monitor
This is Apollo ControlSo at this time we're gonna stand by and continue to monitor the loops here in Mission Control
For our 'go'/'no-go' decision1 minute 30 seconds away now from Loss Of Signal
Our distance away from the Moon now 401 nautical miles
Velocity reading: 75-35
As we continue with this flight of Apollo 8
Apollo 8, Houston, 1 minute to L.O.S., all systems goOur flight control team in Mission Control here has examined the data and it looks good
So we have a combined crew-ground decision
We are 'go' for lunar orbit insertion 1Apollo 8, 10 seconds to go, you're 'go' all the wayRogerThanks a lot, troopsWe'll see you on the other sideWe've had, uh, Loss Of Signal with Apollo 8
At 68 hours 58 minutes 45 seconds
We will watch with continuing interest the A.O.S. clock here in Mission ControlThey're travelling over the back side of the Moon now
Our velocity reading here: 7-7-7-7 feet per second

Now we are in our period of the longest wait
Continuing to monitor, this is Apollo Control, HoustonApollo Control, Houston, we've acquired signal but no voice contact yet
We're standing by
We're looking at engine data and it looks good
Tank pressure's looking goodApollo 8, Apollo 8, this is Houston, Houston overRoger, Houston. We read you loud and clear. How do you read us?Right, we've got it, we've got it
Apollo 8 now in lunar orbit, there's a cheer in this room
This is Apollo Control, Houston, switching now to the voice of Jim Lovell...by 60.5. Good to hear your voiceThe unmanned lunar spacecraft traversed the moon perhaps over 10, 000 times
But this is the first that a man aboard reported to his compatriots here on Earth
