00 24 17
Gus Grissom: Really?
00 24 18
John Young: Yes.
00 24 23
John Young: I'll get that heater off.
00 24 39
John Young: Okay, I'll get the mains back off.
00 24 44
Gus Grissom: Are you sure you didn't bump the converter to the OFF position?
00 24 47
John Young: That switch way up there?
00 24 48
Gus Grissom: No, you couldn't, could you?
00 24 49
John Young: No.
00 24 51
John Young: Want to try it back on the primary and see what happens?
00 24 55
Gus Grissom: That's how we lost it. Yes.
00 24 58
John Young: See?
00 24 59
Gus Grissom: Yes.
00 25 00
John Young: Okay.
00 25 03
Gus Grissom: Okay. That did it.
00 25 07
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.
00 25 10
John Young: How's that circuit breaker set-up up there?
00 25 20
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.
Gus Grissom: …
00 25 22
John Young: Yep.
00 25 40
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.
00 25 43
Gus Grissom: Cape CAP COM, Molly Brown here.
00 25 46
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Roger. How's your status on that thruster?
00 25 50
Gus Grissom: It's still GO. We're still drifting a little bit, Gordo. It's not bad. I can hold it with Pulse with no problem. But we did lose our primary dc-dc converter.
00 26 02
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Roger. Lost your primary dc-dc.

Gus Grissom: Roger.
00 26 07
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Roger.
00 26 14
Gus Grissom: That must not have been the scanner problem though.
00 26 17
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Have you tried your circuit breaker, Gus, on that?
00 26 22
Gus Grissom: Yes, we have.
00 26 29
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Molly Brown, have you tried your circuit breaker to cut off that one erratic thruster.
00 26 33
Gus Grissom: Negative.
00 26 36
Gus Grissom: I don't know which one it is. Let's see—yaw left—
00 26 42
John Young: Yaw left. It would be either OAMS No. 7 or 8.
00 26 50
Gus Grissom: We're not getting any roll with it.
00 26 52
John Young: It really is pitching up, isn't it?
00 26 53
Gus Grissom: Yes, but it's stopping.
00 27 02
Gus Grissom: That stopped it, all right.
00 27 04
John Young: Yes.
00 27 14
John Young: I turned the auto heater back on.
00 27 20
John Young: I should turn that off till the cryo pressure comes down.
00 27 24
Gus Grissom: Flight control loss.
00 28 42
Gus Grissom: Now it's drifting us the other way.
00 30 04
John Young: It's hard to see in here, isn't it?
00 30 44
Gus Grissom: Can't pull it off? Can't you get it off?
00 32 33
John Young: What time is it now?
00 32 47
Gus Grissom: 32 elapsed.
00 33 14
Gus Grissom: We're just about over … Africa.
00 33 17
John Young: Over where?
00 33 19
Gus Grissom: We'll cross the east coast of Africa here before long.
00 33 55
John Young: Hand me one of those towels over there in your box, will you?
00 33 58
Gus Grissom: Okay. Are they on top?
00 34 08
John Young: No, they're back in the back.
00 34 46
Gus Grissom: Hey! We're coming in on the night side.
00 35 08
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.
00 35 17
Gus Grissom: Look at that night come up.
00 35 24
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Molly Brown, Cap CAP COM.
00 35 27
Gus Grissom: I ready you okay, Gordo. How do you read Molly Brown?
00 35 29
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Roger. How's your control system?
00 35 36
Gus Grissom: Cape CAP COM. How do you read Molly Brown?
00 35 38
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): I'm reading you weak but readable.
00 35 45
Gus Grissom: Yes, you are almost unreadable.
00 35 52
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Say again, Molly Brown.
00 36 06
Gus Grissom: I said I can read you, Gordo.
00 36 09
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Roger, I'm barely reading you also.
00 36 18
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): How—is—your—control—system? Over.
00 36 26
Gus Grissom: That stuff goes right on by us.
00 36 27
John Young: Yes.
00 36 28
John Young: Okay. That's right. Now I've got the suit closed.
00 37 18
Gus Grissom: There is lightning out there.
00 37 19
John Young: Yep.
00 37 34
Gus Grissom: Look at that stuff going by. Oh boy! Really does sparkle doesn't it?
00 37 57
John Young: Yes.
00 38 30
Gus Grissom: Now you can see those thrusters firing back there.
Gus Grissom: Now you give this blood pressure, don't you?
00 38 40
John Young: I'll give it. You want me to give it?
00 38 44
Gus Grissom: It says you do.
00 38 46
John Young: It says Command—Oh! Oral temperature.
00 38 51
Gus Grissom: Oh, I mean oral temp, John. Can you get the thermometer out?
00 38 55
John Young: Yes.
00 39 31
Gus Grissom: I can't get the blood pressure bulb in.
00 39 37
John Young: Maybe you are pushing it in the wrong end.
00 39 42
Gus Grissom: Oh.
00 39 51
John Young: Okay. We're back to NORMAL on the waste valve.
00 39 54
Gus Grissom: How can you tell the difference between the ends?
00 40 05
John Young: All I know is it won't insert in one end, and it does insert with the other. I never saw a blood pressure bulb like that before this flight.

John Young: Look at that! It's beautiful!
00 40 28
John Young: There's the Southern Cross and Alpha and Beta Centuri.
00 40 39
Gus Grissom: Are those thrusters firing?
00 40 40

00 40 44
Gus Grissom: I'm doing it.
00 40 45
John Young: Oh, you doing it?
00 40 46
Gus Grissom: Yes, we are yawing. I've got to keep it from yawing so far around.
00 40 56
John Young: Going to do this O₂ —
00 41 18
John Young: Want me to put it back in and give them a blood pressure?
00 41 21
Gus Grissom: If you can get it in. I can't.
00 41 23
John Young: What time is it?
00 41 25
Gus Grissom: 41 elapsed. I get CSQ at 42:19.
00 41 35
John Young: Okay.
