John Young

Yeah, man. That's beautiful!

Gus Grissom

What else have we got to do? Scanners should be on secondary. Now we're going to yaw 180° here.

Gus Grissom

Hey, look out there. There's some land.

Gus Grissom

What time is it?

Gus Grissom

Must still be over Canaries.

Gus Grissom

You're a noisy eater.

Gus Grissom

What? What did you drop?

Gus Grissom

Look at 'em jumping around down there.

John Young

What elapsed is it now, Gus?

Gus Grissom

How do you like this going backwards? You can tell you're going backwards too, can't you?

John Young

That's not bad for applesauce.

Gus Grissom

I'll take a bite of applesauce, if you don't eat it all.

John Young

It's getting tough to squeeze out of there.

Gus Grissom

If we had some pork chops to go with it, we'd be all right.

Gus Grissom

Here it is back. What are you going to do with it now?

John Young

What, the applesauce?

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.

Gus Grissom

Let's see what my retrofire attitude looks like going backwards.

John Young

16° nose down is what it is.

Gus Grissom

Yep. I'll be there in a minute.

Gus Grissom

I'll tell you, man, you don't need anything to tell your yaw, do you?

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!

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.

Gus Grissom

That's not what the 8-ball shows. It's right there, no doubt about it.

John Young

Well, that looks good to me.

Gus Grissom

Let's try it upside down once.

John Young

Watch everything float to the ceiling.

Gus Grissom

There's 60 left, okay?

John Young

That's 60 left.

Gus Grissom

No. Well, yes, let's see.

Gus Grissom

That's inverted.

Gus Grissom

There's 60 left.

John Young

That's what I figured.

John Young

Isn't that beautiful?

Gus Grissom

That's 60 left right there. That's hard to fly.

Gus Grissom

The sun is sure bright.

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.
