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

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.

Gus Grissom

Let's see. Where's the next station we're coming to?

John Young

Suit inlet temperature is still holding at 58, though.

John Young

Boy, this is a manual dexterity test.

John Young

That stuff is really trying to crawl out of there.

John Young

John Yardley loses his bet. Cabin temperature is up to 92°.

John Young

It's bad, isn't it?

Gus Grissom

That sun is something else.

John Young

Can you stow these back over there in your side?

Gus Grissom

You don't need that towel, do you?

John Young

Yes, I'm going to, very shortly.

Gus Grissom

Well, I'd better get it out then.

John Young

Well, I don't think I'll need it, but I might.

Gus Grissom

Well, we've got a scanner light on secondary.

Gus Grissom

There, it went out. I guess I was looking at it in the sun.

Gus Grissom

Hope that stops it. now we've got it again.

Gus Grissom

The sun's around there. That sun's pushing it off.

Gus Grissom

Either that or our ball is out of alinement.

Gus Grissom

What time's it supposed to be next time. Do you remember?

John Young

You don't mind if I make an inflight modification to the pressure suit, do you?

Gus Grissom

What are you going to do?

John Young

Just cut a strap.

Gus Grissom

I hope you don't cut a hole in it.

John Young

No, don't worry.

Gus Grissom

We've got a scanner ignore light …

Gus Grissom

Okay, let's start this thing right now.

Gus Grissom

Okay, it's pitching up slightly. Going up above zero. I don't have a scanner light. man, is it dark!

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.

John Young

Hey, look at those thrusters glowing!

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?

Gus Grissom

It's back behind us some place.

Gus Grissom

You mean the RCS thrusters?

Gus Grissom

I can't see them.

John Young

Can you see yours?

John Young

Well, I see mine shining.
