Per quello che posso capire io la velocita decresce da quando loro sono 2500 km da terra.Ecco l'originale:

Public Affairs Officer - "This is Apollo Control. Tracking [is] now showing the spacecraft at 1,383 nautical miles [2,561.3 km] out, Velocity dropped off somewhat from the initial cut-off velocity of 35,000 and some odd feet per second [10,600 m/s] down to 30,436 feet per second [9,276.9 m/s].

Public Affairs Officer - This is Apollo Control. Apollo 15 now 3,654 nautical miles [6,767 km] out from Earth. Velocity now 25,178 feet per second [7,674 m/s].

Public Affairs Officer - "This is Apollo Control; [we're] some 4 minutes away from ejection of the Command Service Module docked to the Lunar Module, from the S-IVB stage, which has now completed its non-propulsive vent.
