Spacelog Gemini 3

Molly Brown, Canary CAP COM.

It looks like it's something on the side. I don't know what it is.

Canaries, Molly. Go ahead.

Roger. We have systems GO on the ground.

Roger. We are GO in here. We are finishing our Alinement Check.

Roger. Understand, and Canaries transmitting a calibrate command.

What was that?

Transmit my T/M cal.

Okay. It's coming.

What was the time we could see that booster?

2 08 52.

Elapsed?

Yes.

Okay. Tell them we're sending them a T/M 2 cal.

A T/M 2 cal is coming.

I don't see where it says for us to do that, but I guess that's all right. I think we should have done it on the first pass.

One of these pills came off.

Molly Brown, Canary CAP COM.

Go, Canaries.

Roger. After your burn your orbit is 85.6, 92.6.

Roger. 85.6, 92.6.

And I have a Two-Bravo time.

I thought they weren't going to give those times to us.

Stand by.

If either one of these things leaks, we can just close up shop.

Okay. What's the Two-Bravo time?

Roger. ΔV90. GMTRC 16 52 25. GETRC 02 28 35. Roll left 55.

Roger. Two-Bravo: 90 ΔV. 16 52 25 GMTRC. Elapsed time of 02 28 25. Roll left 55.

That's affirm.

No, you can handle that.

What was the time of that booster again? What elevation?

02 08 52. 18° el.

02 —

2 hours, 8 minutes, 52 seconds. 18° el.

What else have we got to do? Scanners should be on secondary. Now we're going to yaw 180° here.

Hey, look out there. There's some land.

Yes.

What time is it?

4 —

Must still be over Canaries.

You're a noisy eater.

Oh, no!

What? What did you drop?

Look at 'em jumping around down there.

What elapsed is it now, Gus?

1:56.

How do you like this going backwards? You can tell you're going backwards too, can't you?

Never a doubt.

That's not bad for applesauce.

I'll take a bite of applesauce, if you don't eat it all.

It's getting tough to squeeze out of there.

If we had some pork chops to go with it, we'd be all right.

Yes.

Here it is back. What are you going to do with it now?

What, the applesauce?

Yes.

I don't know, the tablet fell off. I'm not going to put the germicide tablet in, because I don't know where it is.

Let's see what my retrofire attitude looks like going backwards.

Okay.

16° nose down is what it is.

Yep. I'll be there in a minute.

Oh, man!

I'll tell you, man, you don't need anything to tell your yaw, do you?

No, I'll tell you, I need some of these missions where I can look out of the window. I haven't looked out of this window a second and a half. It's beautiful!

You know, if I lined up the yaw, I'd line it up right there. What does it look like to you?

Look's to me like you got it, Gus.

That's not what the 8-ball shows. It's right there, no doubt about it.

Well, that looks good to me.

Let's try it upside down once.

Okay.

Watch everything float to the ceiling.

There's 60 left, okay?

That's 60 left.

No. Well, yes, let's see.

That's inverted.

Okay.

There's 60 left.

That's what I figured.

There you go.

Isn't that beautiful?

That's 60 left right there. That's hard to fly.

The sun is sure bright.

We can't see the booster. Have to be turned around for this check. We can't see it. We're facing the wrong way.
