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.

Okay. What's the Two-Bravo time?

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

Dead ahead.
