Spacelog Gemini 3

Roger. We're in good shape.

Roger.

Molly Brown, RKV. I'm getting an indication of OAMS thrust forward-firing. I have negative OAMS yaw firing on the ground.

We're not doing any firing. We're not even in MANEUVER and ATTITUDE and we haven't touched the handle.

Roger.

Molly Brown, stand by for Guaymas.

Roger.

Outstanding! I see the whole of Mexico.

I wonder what area of Mexico it is?

Molly Brown, Guaymas CAP COM.

Guaymas, Molly Brown.

Guaymas standing by.

Roger.

It's pretty well clobbered, isn't it?

Yes.

We're going to have a hard time with that tracking task.

Can you see anything up north there?

I never got a chance to look for the Salton Sea, but I think we can see up that way.

Nothing but high cirrus.

Oh, man! Oh, man, you can see all the way across Mexico!

You must have it clear down there, huh?

Yes, it's clear down south, here.

Molly Brown, Guaymas handing over to Texas.

Roger.

It came out 50 feet on my IVI's. You'll give me a mark now on my burn. Right?

Roger.

Okay. It will be about two minutes before we start it. So you punch off your stopwatch and tell me — give me a mark to stop it—just in case it doesn't go to zero.

Okay.

Molly Brown, Texas CAP COM.

Read you loud and clear, Texas.
