Apollo+40: GO for TLI

All of Apollo 11's earth orbit checkouts look good. At 2:26:30 MET, Mission Control radioed the following good news:

Apollo 11, this is Houston. You are GO for TLI. Over.

TLI - Trans-lunar injection - the burn of the Saturn V S-IVB third-stage engine to send the mission on its way to the moon.

TLI will take place at 2:44:16.
