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.
