John Young

Yes. That's right.

Gus Grissom

We have got to get ready for this Texas burn.

Gus Grissom

What time is that Texas burn?

John Young

Now see, it is coming down.

John Young

Now, we'll just recock it.

John Young

That was O2 High Rate for about two minutes to bring the pressure off the peg. it's now reading 985, and cabin pressure is holding at 5.6.

John Young

Here comes the sunrise. Is that beautiful!

Gus Grissom

Isn't that pretty?

Gus Grissom

Aren't you going to take any pictures?

John Young

I hadn't planned to on this pass. I'll get the camera out.

Gus Grissom

Let's see, I want circuit breakers 9 and 10 off, don't I?

John Young

Yes. That sun's bright, isn't it?

John Young

Look at that! Where do you suppose that came from?

John Young

I know you shouldn't let those things float around, but I don't know what to do with them.

Gus Grissom

What did he say that burn was on that … net? It's 48 ft —

John Young

48 feet and 73 seconds.

Gus Grissom

Okay. you put that in, don't you?

Gus Grissom

Do I have to be in CATCH-UP when you put it in?

Gus Grissom

Do I have to be in CATCH-UP when you put it in?

John Young

For me to enter it, yes. I'll just put in on the MDIU indicators here.

Gus Grissom

Looks like the velocity is about perfect. You can really tell you're moving on. You know that?

John Young

I can see some interesting cloud formations down there.

Gus Grissom

We'll be coming up for Guaymas, I guess, next.

John Young

Okay, what elapsed time are we in the flight plan, Gus?

Gus Grissom

I'd say my alinement is perfect.

John Young

Okay. That's what we want to burn. I've got to change this tape cartridge. The camera is set for f11 at 250.

John Young

The first command load is valid. The DCS at Carnarvon inserted it properly.

John Young

That's beautiful!

John Young

I'll bet the debris filter really clogs up.

John Young

The oxygen pressure has climbed right up back there off-scale.

John Young

The oxygen pressure.

John Young

I've got to change this cartridge.

John Young

Tape change at 1546. Tape cartridge No. 2 was replaced by tape cartridge No. 28.

John Young

The red light did not come on.

RKV CapCom

Roger. Read you loud and clear. I'm going to update your TR and transmit a maneuver load to you.

RKV CapCom

I've got a reject on my TR. What is your status, Molly Brown?

John Young

Do you want me to tell them about the oxygen pressure being off-scale?

Gus Grissom

Our status is GO. We did bring the ECS O2 back down on the scale with O2 High Rate, and since that time it has returned to off-scale.

RKV CapCom

Roger, and I have transmitted a TR and Gemini load for your maneuver over Corpus. Confirm you were in CATCH-UP. Over.

Gus Grissom

Negative. We're in CATCH-UP, now.

RKV CapCom

Roger. I'll retransmit the load.

RKV CapCom

Roger. You have a load in the CATCH-UP for your maneuver.

Gus Grissom

Got to be in CATCH-UP.

John Young

Okay. There you go.

RKV CapCom

You are GO for the next orbit.

Gus Grissom

Roger. Thank you.

RKV CapCom

Are you ready to copy your maneuver times?

RKV CapCom

Roger.

Gus Grissom

You ready?

Gus Grissom

Okay. We're ready to copy.

RKV CapCom

Roger. Your GMTB…correction, 15 57 00. Your ground elapsed time to burn, 01 33 00. Your ΔV of the burn, 048. Your length of burn, 01:14.

John Young

Roger. We copied 15:57, 01:33, 48ft/sec, at a minute and 14 seconds.

Gus Grissom

Well, 1 minute 14. You want to read it back to them?

Gus Grissom

Did you get him the other one?

John Young

Neg. Wait until I'll get them.

RKV CapCom

Roger. Stand by for a GET time hack.

RKV CapCom

On my mark, it'll be 85 minutes and 45 seconds. Stand by.

RKV CapCom

MARK! You copied?

Gus Grissom

Roger. We copied.

RKV CapCom

Roger. Your clocks looked good on the ground.

RKV CapCom

Will you give me a readout of core 25, 26, and 27? Over.

John Young

26 and 27 are all zeros.

John Young

I wonder if he got it?

RKV CapCom

Molly Brown, RKV CAP COM.

John Young

Go ahead. Over.

RKV CapCom

Will you give me a readout of your computer core — 25, 26, and 27, please?

John Young

Roger. It was: 25 was minus 0480. 26 and 27 were all zeros. Over.

RKV CapCom

That is affirmative. I concur.

RKV CapCom

Molly Brown, can you give me a readout of your OAMS helium source pressure, temperature, and your propellant quantity gage.

Gus Grissom

The propellant quantity gage is 83 percent. Stand by. John will give you the other.

John Young

Roger. Source pressure is 2450. Source temperature is 85°, and fuel and oxidizer regulated at 295 with 68°.

RKV CapCom

Roger. 295 at 68. Say again your propellant quantity, Command Pilot.

Gus Grissom

Propellant quantity is 84 percent.

RKV CapCom

Roger. I copy.

RKV CapCom

Molly Brown, RKV standing by. Do you have anything else?
