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.

Go, Canaries.

Canary CapCom

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

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

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