Through the bad communications and data drop-outs, Mission Control has reviewed all the available information, and gives the word that Eagle can proceed:
102:28:08 (CAPCOM): "Eagle, Houston. If you read, you're GO for powered descent. Over.
102:28:18 (CMP): "Eagle, this is Columbia. They just gave you a GO for powered descent."
102:28:22 (CAPCOM): "Columbia, Houston. We've lost them on the high gain [antenna] again. Would you please - we recommend they yaw right 10 degrees and reacquire."
102:28:34 (CMP): "Eagle, this is Columbia. You're GO for PDI and they reccomend you yaw right 10 degrees and try the high gain again."
102:28:46 (CMP): "Eagle, you read Columbia?"
102:28:48 (LMP): "Roger. We read you."
102:28:51 (CAPCOM): "Eagle, Houston. We read you now. You're GO for PDI. Over."
102:28:57 (LMP): "Roger. Understand."
Onboard Eagle, Armstrong and Aldrin run through the steps on their PDI checklist to prepare for engine ignition. PDI will commence in about four minutes!
