Spacelog Gemini 3

I can probably see the horizon now, though.

I see those thrusters.

It's the sun shining off of them, because we haven't used the A-Ring yet.

That must be what it is.

A-Ring isn't hot.

Okay, waste valve NORMAL.

What time is it in the flight plan?

It's 2 hours and 9 minutes.

2 hours and 10 minutes.

You're supposed to give an oral temperature.

I'll give them one.

Photos of what?

Those thrusters.

Translation thrusters.

There is a ground light. We're really moving. What would that be?

…forest fires.

No, it's a pin point. I see it way below the horizon.

What time is it?

To what?

I'm supposed to change this tape around here sometime.

Translation Check.

During the check?

I think that was a star coming over the horizon I saw. I can see it move now.

There goes your …

Okay, waste valve back to NORMAL.

I've got to make a translational thrust in two and a half minutes.

Okay. Well, I'll wait till you finish that then, if that's okay with you.

Yes.

You want to take pictures on this?

We're supposed to with a 16 mil.

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.

Okay.

Gee.

Your recommendation on that covering underwear is well taken.

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?

Yes.

It says minus 10° down on the ball. I guess it's that Orbit Rate, isn't it?

Yes, probably.

What time is it?

It's —

It's 10 ft/sec with the forward firing ones.

Molly Brown, CSQ CAP COM. Do you read?

CSQ CAP COM, Molly Brown.

Roger read you weak but clear. We have you green from the ground.

Roger. Getting ready for a translation burn.

You going to use the aft burn or the forward burn?
