Or, for just the audio, click the link above to hear Pete Conrad, onboard Apollo 12, send greetings to the troops at Carnarvon and Honeysuckle.

The greeting is sent during the television broadcast at 063:34 GET – and this audio comes from a tape recorded by Bernard Scrivener and digitised by Mike Dinn. The Capcom is Jerry Carr.

Conrad: Australia is getting this live? Ah, I’d like to say hello to all the friends down there at the tracking station in Carnarvon, if they’re down...
… …
Carr: … 12, Houston. Don’t forget the troops at Honeysuckle.
Bean: Hello to all the troops at Honeysuckle!
Conrad: Haven’t been to Honeysuckle, though.
Gordon: What he’s saying, Jerry, he’s asking for a trip.
Carr: That’s what I figured – to Honeysuckle.
