Astronaut's Ceiling Support Cables Get Tangled Up- Ceiling Stagehands Try to Fix The Problem.

Bob the CapCom at Houston is the only person that should be speaking directly to the Astronauts for communications. One of the Fake Moon Bay Stagehands speaks directly to Astronaut Jack, advising him to stay still while the ceiling stagehands untangle Jacks support cable wires above him. From above Astronaut Jack, a large shadow from the ceiling cable wires/device is seen crossing from the left in the background. Astronaut Gene lets Astronaut Jack know that the wires have been untangled and that Jack's communications antennae is standing back up again. The TV camera the whole time is facing downwards, and only starts to move upwards when Astronaut Gene says "Antennas up", then the TV camera suddenly stops when Astronaut Gene suddenly says, "wait a minute", then the TV camera starts to move up again when Gene gives the all clear by saying "In a snap a snap" The term 'snap' is used, for the connection between the ceiling support wires and the Astronaut's hidden body harness.

NASA did redacted editing & cleaning up of the text, to cover what they really said in the written records of the Astronauts conversations. Also in some video's NASA has later recorded different conversations, replacing what was originally spoken.
