Gus Grissom

I can probably see the horizon now, though.

John Young

I see those thrusters.

John Young

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

Gus Grissom

That must be what it is.

John Young

A-Ring isn't hot.

John Young

Okay, waste valve NORMAL.

John Young

What time is it in the flight plan?

Gus Grissom

It's 2 hours and 9 minutes.

Gus Grissom

2 hours and 10 minutes.

John Young

You're supposed to give an oral temperature.

Gus Grissom

I'll give them one.

Gus Grissom

Okay. Translation Check at 2:17, which is 7 minutes away.

John Young

Know what kind of transmission check it is?

Gus Grissom

Translation Check…We're not going to send anything.

Gus Grissom

We're supposed to get photos, but it's going to be dark.

John Young

Photos of what?

Gus Grissom

Those thrusters.

Gus Grissom

Translation thrusters.

Gus Grissom

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

John Young

…forest fires.

Gus Grissom

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

Gus Grissom

What time is it?

John Young

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

Gus Grissom

Translation Check.

John Young

During the check?

Gus Grissom

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

Gus Grissom

There goes your …

John Young

Okay, waste valve back to NORMAL.

Gus Grissom

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

John Young

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

John Young

You want to take pictures on this?

Gus Grissom

We're supposed to with a 16 mil.

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.

John Young

Your recommendation on that covering underwear is well taken.

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?

Gus Grissom

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

Gus Grissom

What time is it?

Gus Grissom

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

Gus Grissom

Roger. Getting ready for a translation burn.

John Young

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