Gus Grissom

Roger, DCS load received.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Roger. We got you loaded.

John Young

We had another DCS load just in, too.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Roger. That was the actual values. The first one was the TR.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM. Did you get your experiments for the first orbit?

Gus Grissom

Go ahead Cape CAP COM.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Roger. We just wanted to get a confirmation that you got your experiments on time for the first orbit.

Gus Grissom

Roger. We got them on time for the first orbit.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Everything looks good down here.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM. Our memory loads on the ground confirm your loads were correct in there, so you might delete all the MDIU readouts.

John Young

Here is the blood pressure coming down there, MCC.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

You still got a blood pressure, John? We didn't read it.

Gus Grissom

He sent it, okay. I'll give you another one.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Okay. Just wondered if he was breathing.

Gus Grissom

Gordo, do you have me a time for the Horizon Scan Check?

Gus Grissom

Cape CAP COM, do you read, Molly Brown.

Gus Grissom

Do you have me a time for the Horizon Scanner Check?

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Okay, sunset time is 16 + 34. Stand by, and I will get you the horizon scanner.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

That is the time for it, Molly Brown. 16 + 34.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Pretty spectacular up there, huh?

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Pretty spectacular up there, huh?

Gus Grissom

Yeah, it really is. It really is!

Gus Grissom

We didn't get to see much of the States though.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Clouded over? Too many clouds, huh?

Gus Grissom

Let's see, do you want your meal?

Gus Grissom

Is this one all right?

John Young

Yes, this is the one here.

John Young

You can't get the bulb in, huh? How about if I just leave it in and give them blood pressures.

Gus Grissom

I can't get it in.

John Young

Hot dog! Good old food.

Gus Grissom

Going to have to make Alinement Check.

John Young

Want to just slap those babies over there?

John Young

They said to leave the brownies closed.

Gus Grissom

Okay, starting Alinement Caging Check. Minus 10° in pitch, 10° in yaw, and 10° in roll. Going to CAGE, small-end-forward, holding attitudes out the window. Okay, I've caged. Going SEF, platform and attitude. Fine aline from 1:45 to 1:55.

Gus Grissom

Let me have some of that juice when you get done.

Gus Grissom

You want me to stick this up here?

John Young

Yes, we can attach it up there.

Gus Grissom

Let me see if I can lock it in there.

Gus Grissom

That oxygen still hasn't come off the peg.

John Young

The what hasn't?

John Young

I'll tell you, boy. It poses a serious problem with that O2 High Rate bit.

John Young

Is your window getting foggy, or is it just the angle I'm looking at?

Canary CapCom

Molly Brown, Canary CAP COM.

Gus Grissom

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

Gus Grissom

Canaries, Molly. Go ahead.

Canary CapCom

Roger. We have systems GO on the ground.

Gus Grissom

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

Canary CapCom

Roger. Understand, and Canaries transmitting a calibrate command.

John Young

Transmit my T/M cal.

Gus Grissom

Okay. It's coming.

Gus Grissom

What was the time we could see that booster?

John Young

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

Gus Grissom

A T/M 2 cal is coming.

John Young

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.

John Young

One of these pills came off.

Canary CapCom

Molly Brown, Canary CAP COM.

Canary CapCom

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

Gus Grissom

Roger. 85.6, 92.6.

Canary CapCom

And I have a Two-Bravo time.

John Young

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

John Young

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

Key moment The first corned beef sandwich in space: What is it?

John Young

Corn beef sandwich.

Gus Grissom

Where did that come from?

John Young

I brought it with me. Let's see how it tastes. Smells, doesn't it?

Gus Grissom

Yes, it's breaking up. I'm going to stick it in my pocket.

John Young

It was a thought, anyways.

John Young

Not a very good one.

Gus Grissom

Pretty good, though, if it would just hold together.

John Young

Want some chicken leg?

Gus Grissom

No, you can handle that.

Gus Grissom

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

John Young

Gus Grissom

Above? They didn't give us the mileage, huh?

Gus Grissom

We're alined just about perfect. What do you think, looking out your window?
