At 102:42, Flight Director Gene Kranz - a veteran of spaceflight control since the dawn of American manned spaceflight - polled his flight control team for the final time:
Okay, flight controllers: GO/NO-GO for landing.
RETRO? "GO!"
FIDO? "GO!"
GUIDANCE? "GO!"
CONTROL? "GO!"
TELMU? "GO!"
GNC? "GO!"
EECOM? "GO!"
SURGEON? "GO!"
CAPCOM, we are GO for landing.
102:42:08 (CAPCOM): "Eagle, Houston. You're GO for landing. Over."
102:42:17 (LMP): "Roger. Understand. GO for landing. 3,000 feet [altitude]."
Right after acknowledging the GO for landing, another program alarm occurred, this time a 1201 - another overflow condition.
102:42:25 (CAPCOM): "We're GO. Same type [of alarm]. We're GO."
102:42:31 (LMP): "2,000 feet [altitude]."
Another 1202 program alarm cropped up at 102:42:41 - still GO!
I know the official transcripts have Armstrong saying, "Roger, Understand, go for landing..." The audio sounds like he says, "Roger, Houston, go for landing..."
