Ive been reading the mission transcripts today for A11 & 14.
So i thought id post some snippets that may be of interest.
Feel free to interject and add your own should you wish.
This will be ongoing as and when i can read through the next batch.
Elvis. Oh and forgive the text jumping all over the place i have tried to edit it and failed.

APOLLO 11
DAY 4 PAGE 96.
CDR Commander Nell A. Armstrong
CMP Command module pilot Michael Collins
LMP Lunar module pilot Edwin E. Aldrin,
It says observe the lunar surface.
CMP That's what it says you ought to supposed to be
doing.
LMP It's brown; it's brown.
CMP Brown all around. There's no doubt which way that
little crater hit.
LMP Here's that same one going by again, Neil,remember?
That bright Job?
CDR Yes.
LMP Man, there's white stuff all over - and it's black
right around the rim.
IRP That's a spectacular crater.
CDR Did you shoot some pictures while you were over
there?
CMP No, it's Just going by - we'd better get it later;
there will be better times. If the damn antenna
isn't in the way -
CMP Boy, there must be nothing more desolate than to
be inside some of these craters, these conical ones.
CDR People that live in there probably never get out.
DAY 4 PAGE 119.
CMP There go Sidewinder and Diamondback. God, if you
ever saw checkpoints in your life, those are it.
CDR But ... we don't get to see them.
CMP You don't?
CDR No, we roll over right here at this little - well,
you see Boot Hill coming up right here?
CMP Yes, yes, yes.
CDR And Just beyond it that's - that crater right on
track there, the big one?
CMP That's Mount Marilyn? Past Boot Hill?
LMP No, Duke Hill.
CMP Duke Hill?
No, I'm sorry ... that's - -
CDR Duke Island, Duke Island.
CMP Oh God, look at that Moltke; he's my favorite ...
Look at that son of a bitch. You see all those
roads - triangular roads leading right past him?
CDR Yes.
CMP That's US 1, I guess, huh?

APOLLO 14
CDR Commander Alan B. (Al) Shepard, Jr.
CMP Command module pilot Stuart A. (Stu) Eoosa
LMP Lunar module pilot Edgar D. (Ed) Mitchell
Page 118 day 4
MARK. Mark, mark, mark.
CMP Boy, I'm sure glad we cut out that TV show.
LMP Yes.
CMP It really worried me, when I saw where it was.
Glad we got sort of a pseudoexcuse - to cut it out.
LMP Yes, there it is.
CMP This is really something. The most unreal looking
:real thing I've ever seen. If that makes any
sense (laughter).
Probably not.
CDR ... Yes, it is ... vegetation. Something as common
reference, you know - familiar reference. So you
don't know how far above you are. So it makes it
look like the scale is ...
Page 120 day 4
CMP Yes, that's one of our targets. That's one of
Farouk's favorite craters.
Pretty damn interesting one, too.
Really an interesting one. Huh? That one ...
looks like ... got a rugged one right out here -
with the central peaks.
Farouk has gone on record as
saying they are dikes.
CMR High Sun. That's one right down there; Just shows
how it dominates the whole photograph. Just an
extremely bright crater. Sun angle Just isn't
high enough for you to see it here .... Yes,
they're mining it [?], I think.
CDR What's the name of that one?
CMP It has no name. I've called it the Bright One.
Page 145 Day 4
Well, I think it's got a reddish tint to it out
the window. Sort of like, you know, the southwest
desert. You know, red hasn't been mentioned
before.
Did you see Tsiolkovsky over there?
Oh, sure; that's Tsiolkovsky. Okay. I've got it.
Yes. That mother is black out there, isn't it?
and flat. And there are really a lot more color
differences than I expected.
CDR Okay. What's that one that we talked about the
other time that had that bench - the bench that
looked like a quarry.
AAAARRRGG.. Edit nightmares. forgive me im off to jump off something very high.(http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a572/paparumbo/stare-rabbit-eyes_zps726d3b3c.jpg)
For a gray surface with nothing but empty, lifeless craters... They sure make some interesting comments.
Thank you lovely Amy, I went into brain fry mode. I was trying to write whilst dodging my boss.
Yes they sure do. :)

Yes they sure do. :)
I hope you dodge your boss as good as you wrote the post, it's perfectly readable. :)
Are those from the On-Board Voice Transcripts?
Thanks Armap. Yes your right they are. They take a bit of digging through but some comments are interesting. :)
That's some very odd conversations Elvis.
Great research!
Elvis, that deserves jingle in your basket!! These conversations are very interesting - just to read them as they occurred. Of course we have heard the stories about these conversations, but just to see them like this is excellent!!
We will be looking forward to others you hopefully find, that are likewise interesting!!! Add all of them up, and maybe there is a "telling story"!!
I'm having trouble locating your quotes. Maybe I'm thick but they seem to be listed as hours into the mission (I guess) rather than pages.
On Apollo 11, at 086:54:51 they talk about 'roads' . At 086:16:05, they mention odd crater edges that are scalloped or look like seashells.
My eyes may be too tired to find the Apollo 14 stuff. I tried to find the 'vegetation' stuff.
Good stuff. Thanks for posting it.
Thanks guys :)
Eighthman I should have been more accurate with the link. This should help for A14.
http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a14/AS14_CM.PDF
Go down to page 118 day 4 for the vegetation remark.
Elvis
This should help with 11. It's all in days and pages.
These PDFs are worth saving
to your hard drives for future digging.
Cheers and more to come :)
Elvis.

Mission Impossible for you, I would be interested to hear if you think there are any blacked out areas. I would think if they really said something like look at that big UFO there, it might be deleted. So do you think there are holes or can't tell.Conversations tend to be subject related and might show a hole or two.
Deuem
love the rabbit and tossed in a shilling for the good work...
Ha, thanx D. Yes there are plenty missing words in All the texts.
They use dots and dashes to show " garbled" words etc.
But it can be in amongst very telling dialogue!
I was just thinking about that today so I think you have a very valid point.
Hmm that is something that needs more attention.
Cheers
Elvis.

Very good, you understand what I am thinking. If you have these hole, please add them. Maybe one of us can pick up a pattern in the conversation and fill in the holes. Or at least have fun making some up.

That and missing
time talking for long(ish) periods of time. :)

Yes exactly Armap. I like your thinking bud.
Yo Kids. Im redoing the post here to make it easier to read.

SC Unidentifiable crewmember

and...
from day 4 page 120...
"that's US 1"

Regarding "US 1", my thought when I saw that - - - - they were talking about "roads" ---- Collins said, "You see all those roads - triangular roads leading right past him"? Neil Armstrong immediately says "Yes". And then Collibs says, "That's US 1 I guess, Huh"? Armstrong says "Yes".
So, as they were talking about roads of some triangular sort,I just assumed they were seeing a very primary looking road, and termed it "US 1", which is a type of road term used in the U.S. For example U.S. interstates are I-10, I-40, etc, with even numbers being east/west roads, and odd numbers being north/south roads.
Highway US 1 travels from Fort Kent, Maine to Key West, Florida, for a total of 2,376 miles. The astronauts were probably very familiar with US 1.
The below link list provides info on the US designated highways - just FYI.
http://us-highways.com/us1830.htm
Thanks simon and Rdunk. Yea US1 = HIGHWAY 1, definately a road reference. Im just going through A15 now and also looking at the missed out words. so more to come chaps.
Downloaded the files...sounds to me like they are in low earth
orbit,with some chatter thrown in...had some trouble following
the sequence of events in the files..nothing new for me..

Pg 24 @ 00 46 15 on Apollo 14 : Two guys promise to give some souvenir (I guess) to the "hookers in Titusville"
Contrast this remark with the current horror (gasp!) of Secret Service agents consorting with such women. Bring back political incorrectness.
Nice job Elvis!
I have been reading in the style of Finbar Saunders of course for
Extra comedic value. 'Fnar ;D
Tossing your way ;) (gold that is)
