John Young: Yeah, man. That's beautiful!
01 54 05
Gus Grissom: What else have we got to do? Scanners should be on secondary. Now we're going to yaw 180° here.
01 54 32
Gus Grissom: Hey, look out there. There's some land.
01 54 36
John Young: Yes.
01 54 49
Gus Grissom: What time is it?
01 54 51
John Young: 4 —
01 54 55
Gus Grissom: Must still be over Canaries.
01 55 04
Gus Grissom: You're a noisy eater.
01 55 19
John Young: Oh, no!
01 55 20
Gus Grissom: What? What did you drop?
01 55 25
Gus Grissom: Look at 'em jumping around down there.
01 56 30
John Young: What elapsed is it now, Gus?
01 56 32
Gus Grissom: 1:56.
01 56 37
Gus Grissom: How do you like this going backwards? You can tell you're going backwards too, can't you?
01 57 04
John Young: Never a doubt.
01 57 14
John Young: That's not bad for applesauce.
01 57 18
Gus Grissom: I'll take a bite of applesauce, if you don't eat it all.
01 57 21
John Young: It's getting tough to squeeze out of there.
01 57 40
Gus Grissom: If we had some pork chops to go with it, we'd be all right.
01 57 41
John Young: Yes.
01 57 42
Gus Grissom: Here it is back. What are you going to do with it now?
01 57 44
John Young: What, the applesauce?
01 57 45
Gus Grissom: Yes.
01 57 47
John Young: I don't know, the tablet fell off. I'm not going to put the germicide tablet in, because I don't know where it is.
01 57 53
Gus Grissom: Let's see what my retrofire attitude looks like going backwards.
01 57 56
John Young: Okay.
01 58 11
John Young: 16° nose down is what it is.
01 58 13
Gus Grissom: Yep. I'll be there in a minute.
01 58 17
John Young: Oh, man!
01 58 21
Gus Grissom: I'll tell you, man, you don't need anything to tell your yaw, do you?
01 58 25
John Young: No, I'll tell you, I need some of these missions where I can look out of the window. I haven't looked out of this window a second and a half. It's beautiful!
01 58 35
Gus Grissom: You know, if I lined up the yaw, I'd line it up right there. What does it look like to you?

John Young: Look's to me like you got it, Gus.
01 58 46
Gus Grissom: That's not what the 8-ball shows. It's right there, no doubt about it.
01 58 58
John Young: Well, that looks good to me.
01 59 14
Gus Grissom: Let's try it upside down once.
01 59 16
John Young: Okay.
01 59 21
John Young: Watch everything float to the ceiling.
01 59 27
Gus Grissom: There's 60 left, okay?
01 59 48
John Young: That's 60 left.
01 59 49
Gus Grissom: No. Well, yes, let's see.
01 59 55
Gus Grissom: That's inverted.
01 59 56
John Young: Okay.
01 59 57
Gus Grissom: There's 60 left.
02 00 00
John Young: That's what I figured.
02 00 01
John Young: There you go.
02 00 05
John Young: Isn't that beautiful?
02 00 09
Gus Grissom: That's 60 left right there. That's hard to fly.
02 00 16
Gus Grissom: The sun is sure bright.
02 00 53
Gus Grissom: We can't see the booster. Have to be turned around for this check. We can't see it. We're facing the wrong way.
02 01 34
Gus Grissom: Let's see. Where's the next station we're coming to?
02 01 36
John Young: Kano.
02 02 31
Gus Grissom: The sun's hot.
02 02 32
John Young: It is.
02 02 34
John Young: Suit inlet temperature is still holding at 58, though.
02 02 45
John Young: Boy, this is a manual dexterity test.
02 02 47
Gus Grissom: Yes.
02 03 41
John Young: That stuff is really trying to crawl out of there.
02 04 17
John Young: John Yardley loses his bet. Cabin temperature is up to 92°.
02 04 40
Gus Grissom: Oh, man!
02 04 43
John Young: It's bad, isn't it?
02 04 44
Gus Grissom: That sun is something else.
02 04 45
John Young: Yes.
02 04 58
John Young: Can you stow these back over there in your side?
02 05 01
Gus Grissom: Yes.
02 05 06
John Young: Somehow.
02 05 07
Gus Grissom: You don't need that towel, do you?
02 05 09
John Young: Yes, I'm going to, very shortly.
02 05 11
Gus Grissom: Well, I'd better get it out then.
02 05 13
John Young: Well, I don't think I'll need it, but I might.
02 05 19
Gus Grissom: Well, we've got a scanner light on secondary.
02 05 27
Gus Grissom: There, it went out. I guess I was looking at it in the sun.
02 05 29
John Young: Yes.
02 05 33
Gus Grissom: Hope that stops it. now we've got it again.
02 06 10
Gus Grissom: The sun's around there. That sun's pushing it off.
02 06 13
John Young: Yes.
02 06 21
Gus Grissom: Either that or our ball is out of alinement.
02 06 31
Gus Grissom: What time's it supposed to be next time. Do you remember?

John Young: No.
02 07 07
John Young: You don't mind if I make an inflight modification to the pressure suit, do you?
02 07 11
Gus Grissom: What are you going to do?
02 07 13
John Young: Just cut a strap.
02 07 15
Gus Grissom: I hope you don't cut a hole in it.
02 07 17
John Young: No, don't worry.
02 07 33
Gus Grissom: We've got a scanner ignore light …
02 07 47
Gus Grissom: Okay, let's start this thing right now.
02 07 56
Gus Grissom: Okay, it's pitching up slightly. Going up above zero. I don't have a scanner light. man, is it dark!
02 08 07
Gus Grissom: I don't have a scanner light, but I don't think it's doing right. We're now 20° above the horizon and have no horizon. It's bringing me back down to 180.
02 08 52
John Young: It's dark.
02 08 53
Gus Grissom: Yes.
02 08 57
John Young: Hey, look at those thrusters glowing!
02 08 59
Gus Grissom: Where?
02 09 00
John Young: Over on the right side. I think it's the sun shining on them, or something. Is the sun on my side? Sunset?
02 09 07
Gus Grissom: It's back behind us some place.
02 09 13
Gus Grissom: You mean the RCS thrusters?
02 09 15
John Young: Yes.
02 09 17
Gus Grissom: I can't see them.
02 09 18
John Young: Can you see yours?
02 09 20
Gus Grissom: No.
02 09 21
John Young: Well, I see mine shining.
