Gus Grissom: Go ahead CSQ.
00 48 01
CSQ CapCom: We copied your respiratory maneuver, and we have your oral temp. All systems appear GO from the ground.
00 50 27
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Molly Brown, Molly Brown, Carnarvon CAP COM. How do you read?
00 50 31
Gus Grissom: Loud and clear. How me?
00 50 33
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Roger. Read you the same. Could you give us your status please? And the cape would like to know if any of the remedies helped your yaw problem.
00 50 43
Gus Grissom: No. None of the remedies helped and we are GO.
00 50 46
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Okay. You have a GO from down here for the second orbit, and, if you'll stand by, I'll send you a 2-1 T_R and a Gemini load.
00 50 58
Gus Grissom: Roger.
00 51 00
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Stand by for T_R.
00 51 03
Gus Grissom: You ready?
00 51 04
John Young: Yes.
00 51 12
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Okay, Molly Brown. We got your Gemini load. We could not get T_R in. We got a spacecraft reject on T_R, and it did go in at this time. I'd like to give you a hack on T_R at 39:30, in about 10 seconds.

Gus Grissom: You're going to punch it, aren't you?
00 51 30
John Young: Yes.
00 51 52
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Molly Brown, stand by on my mark.
00 51 53
Pete Conrad (CapCom): MARK! 39:30 is your T_R. Your T_R clock is synched with all on the ground, and your spacecraft elapsed time is synched.
00 52 05
John Young: Okay. We have computer time of 39:28. That's close enough.
00 52 07
Gus Grissom: Roger, and I believe I see a light from Perth.
00 52 11
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Roger. I understand you see light from Perth. We'll have a radiator status for you in a minute, and anytime you can give your GMT for your experiment, I'd appreciate it.
00 52 21
John Young: Roger. The GMT of that Blood Experiment —
00 52 23
Gus Grissom: The elapsed time of the Blood Experiment was 50 minutes and 18 seconds. That was elapsed time.
00 52 31
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Roger. 50 minutes and 18 seconds. Your radiator—in is 73, your rad-out is 38. You're looking pretty good.
00 52 38
Gus Grissom: Roger.
00 52 40
Pete Conrad (CapCom): And if John is ready to copy any of this maneuver load, I have it for you.
00 52 44
John Young: All set.

00 52 45
Gus Grissom: He's ready to copy.
00 52 47
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Okay. GMTB 15 43 23. ΔV of 139. Duration of burn—2 minutes 39 seconds. Your GMTRC 15 55 24. Roll left 55. GMTRB 16 05 28. Roll right 65. GMT 400 K 15 58 23. Your maneuver load: 6344257, 0444775, 0533348, 664903.3, 676628.4, 082244.4, 09120.50, 10031.38, 11302.00.
00 54 28
John Young: Roger. Copied your parameters. Over.
00 54 32
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Molly Brown, Carnarvon here. You can go secondary coolant loop OFF, and you can go evaporator to NORMAL.
00 54 40
Gus Grissom: Roger. Secondary coolant loop OFF and evaporator to NORMAL.
00 55 22
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Molly Brown, Carnarvon CAP COM.
00 55 24
Gus Grissom: Go ahead.
00 55 26
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Roger. Your Texas burn will be 48 ft/sec for 73 seconds.
00 55 37
Gus Grissom: Okay, 48 ft/sec for 73 seconds.
00 55 40
Pete Conrad (CapCom): That's affirmative. We got your T_R and Gemini load in. Your clocks look good on the ground, and everything is GO here. See you next trip.
00 55 50
Gus Grissom: Roger.
01 00 31
Gus Grissom: Let's get back on RECORD.
01 00 32
John Young: Okay.
01 00 40
Gus Grissom: On the OAMS thruster check, the fire is red in streaks. When the yaw thrusters fire it definitely wipes out the horizon. Can see the horizon all right through the pitch thrusters.
01 01 02
John Young: Oh, that's lovely.
01 01 05
Gus Grissom: Huh?
01 01 06
John Young: I wouldn't believe it if it hadn't happened.
01 01 08
Gus Grissom: What?
01 01 10
John Young: I got my left shoulder harness tangled up in the backboard.
01 01 14
Gus Grissom: Oh, Oh.
01 01 15
John Young: Had to turn around to get it out.
01 01 26
Gus Grissom: Hey, I think our yaw drift has stopped.
01 01 36
John Young: We're down to 2400. That's pretty good.
01 01 39
Gus Grissom: Is that okay?
01 01 40
John Young: Yes, that's fine. It means we haven't used any OAMS fuel.
