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?
02 06 33
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.
02 09 22
Gus Grissom: I can probably see the horizon now, though.
02 09 24
John Young: I see those thrusters.
02 09 29
John Young: It's the sun shining off of them, because we haven't used the A-Ring yet.
02 09 32
Gus Grissom: That must be what it is.
02 09 33
John Young: A-Ring isn't hot.
02 09 38
John Young: Okay, waste valve NORMAL.
02 09 50
John Young: What time is it in the flight plan?
02 09 52
Gus Grissom: It's 2 hours and 9 minutes.
02 09 58
Gus Grissom: 2 hours and 10 minutes.
02 10 05
John Young: You're supposed to give an oral temperature.
02 10 07
Gus Grissom: I'll give them one.
02 10 24
Gus Grissom: Okay. Translation Check at 2:17, which is 7 minutes away.
02 10 35
John Young: Know what kind of transmission check it is?
02 10 37
Gus Grissom: Translation Check…We're not going to send anything.
02 11 05
Gus Grissom: We're supposed to get photos, but it's going to be dark.
02 11 08
John Young: Photos of what?
02 11 09
Gus Grissom: Those thrusters.
02 11 15
Gus Grissom: Translation thrusters.
02 11 25
Gus Grissom: There is a ground light. We're really moving. What would that be?
02 11 29
John Young: …forest fires.
02 11 32
Gus Grissom: No, it's a pin point. I see it way below the horizon.
02 12 19
Gus Grissom: What time is it?
02 12 23
John Young: To what?
02 12 26
John Young: I'm supposed to change this tape around here sometime.
02 12 29
Gus Grissom: Translation Check.
02 12 32
John Young: During the check?
02 14 01
Gus Grissom: I think that was a star coming over the horizon I saw. I can see it move now.
02 14 20
Gus Grissom: There goes your …
02 14 25
John Young: Okay, waste valve back to NORMAL.
02 14 33
Gus Grissom: I've got to make a translational thrust in two and a half minutes.
02 14 37
John Young: Okay. Well, I'll wait till you finish that then, if that's okay with you.

02 14 42
John Young: You want to take pictures on this?
02 14 43
Gus Grissom: We're supposed to with a 16 mil.
02 14 45
John Young: Okay. Shoot, we've hardly used any film. Of course there's 130 feet in there. Wait a second till I get the suit closed.
02 15 15
Gus Grissom: Okay.
02 15 25
John Young: Gee.
02 15 30
John Young: Your recommendation on that covering underwear is well taken.
02 15 41
Gus Grissom: Man! I don't believe this 8-ball. It is way off. Look at it. It's way off. There's zero right there. Right?
02 16 00
John Young: Yes.
02 16 01
Gus Grissom: It says minus 10° down on the ball. I guess it's that Orbit Rate, isn't it?
02 16 05
John Young: Yes, probably.
02 16 12
Gus Grissom: What time is it?
02 16 16
John Young: It's —
02 16 19
Gus Grissom: It's 10 ft/sec with the forward firing ones.
02 16 20
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, CSQ CAP COM. Do you read?
02 16 23
Gus Grissom: CSQ CAP COM, Molly Brown.
02 16 26
CSQ CapCom: Roger read you weak but clear. We have you green from the ground.
02 16 31
Gus Grissom: Roger. Getting ready for a translation burn.
02 16 37
John Young: You going to use the aft burn or the forward burn?
