Gus Grissom: Affirmative.
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Okay, strike all that other stuff. It sounds to me like you've got a mechanical problem in the valve. Is that what you figured?
02 24 36
Gus Grissom: Roger, it must be very, very slight. We can't see the pressure go down.
02 24 40
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Okay, and you have turned off 3, 4, 7 and 8 yaw circuit breakers and put them on again, and that didn't have any effect?
02 24 46
Gus Grissom: Yes, we've gone through everything, Pete.
02 24 48
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Okay, and no cross-coupling.
02 24 50
Gus Grissom: Negative.
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Okay. That should keep them happy back there. We are not going to send you a load. Your T_R is good. I don't have your clock counting down with mine. I guess you have a different one in. We got your blood pressure and your clocks are on as far as SET goes.
02 24 54
Gus Grissom: That's — Pete.
02 25 16
Gus Grissom: Roger.
Pete Conrad (CapCom): And I have a question for John. I would like to know how his waste evaluation is doing.
02 25 23
John Young: In process. Tell him.

Gus Grissom: In process.
02 25 27
Pete Conrad (CapCom): In process. Roger. Roger.
02 25 32
Pete Conrad (CapCom): You have a GO down here from everybody, and do you have suit temps for me, please?
02 25 42
Gus Grissom: Yes, suit temp is running 58°, Pete. We are okay.
02 25 45
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Righto.
02 26 02
Gus Grissom: 2:26. Rate gyros primary. Roll jets yaw.
02 26 22
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Molly Brown, Carnarvon.
02 26 25
Gus Grissom: Go.
02 26 26
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Would you turn your real-time telemetry off after LOS from Carnarvon, please?
02 26 31
Gus Grissom: Roger, real-time off after Carnarvon.
02 26 34
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Yes. We didn't get a T_X up to you.
02 26 36
Gus Grissom: Roger.
02 27 02
Gus Grissom: You're going to make these Horizon Scan Checks after a little bit?
02 27 09
John Young: Yes. You do it, because I'm busy here.
02 27 14
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Molly Brown, this is Carnarvon. How do you read?
02 27 18
Gus Grissom: Still read you loud and clear.
02 27 19
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Okay, you'll probably go over the hill, Gus. You look good here on the ground. We'll see you on your next go.
02 27 25
Gus Grissom: Roger, thank you, Pete.
02 28 24
John Young: Be sure I don't throw any switches over there while I'm moving around.
02 28 27
Gus Grissom: No, I'll keep a check on you. I don't believe that scanner's doing the right thing by us at all. If it is, the ball isn't.
02 31 25
Gus Grissom: Want this bag for anything?
02 31 27
John Young: Yes, I put the paper towels back in it.
02 31 29
Gus Grissom: Okay, I can thrust now?
02 31 31
John Young: Wait till I get my suit zipped up.
02 31 35
Gus Grissom: ….
02 32 08
Gus Grissom: Better get that sight out for me.
02 32 11
John Young: Huh?
02 32 12
Gus Grissom: Should get that sight out before long, too.
02 32 13
John Young: Okay.
02 32 46
Gus Grissom: I can't get the auxiliary light off there.
02 33 29
Gus Grissom: It's really black out there.
02 33 31
John Young: Yep.
02 33 46
Gus Grissom: I've got a scanner ignore light. Shoot, that ball must be way off.
02 33 59
John Young: Okay.
02 34 01
Gus Grissom: Oh, man! It's hot.
02 34 03
John Young: What's the matter, Gus?
02 34 04
Gus Grissom: Oh, there it is. I was losing the horizon. Don't tell me our secondary scanners are out now. That isn't right. Let's see what happens. This ball is way off. Good night! Our ball has drifted way off. Let's just go into daylight and aline the thing.
02 34 50
John Young: You've got the answer.
02 34 58
Gus Grissom: Pulse. Going to use those stars. There's zero roll all right.
02 35 30
John Young: Well, that's great! I can't bust up the bag. Sure like to get that smell out of here and the only way I can do it is to bust that bag.
02 35 41
Gus Grissom: What bag?
02 35 42
John Young: It won't break.
02 35 43
Gus Grissom: What do you mean?
02 35 44
John Young: I mean this bacteriacide bag.
02 35 59
John Young: Got it — a little.
02 36 25
John Young: There we go.
02 36 48
Gus Grissom: We're coming into daylight again.
02 37 08
Gus Grissom: Does that look roll-level to you?
02 37 10
John Young: Looks what?
02 37 11
Gus Grissom: Is that level to you? Looking out the window.
02 37 20
John Young: Yes.
02 37 22
Gus Grissom: What about yaw? I can't really tell yaw, can you?
02 37 26
John Young: No.
02 37 28
John Young: Have you got that —
02 37 30
Gus Grissom: What?
02 37 43
Gus Grissom: Let's see. You don't see the moon any place, do you?
02 37 46
John Young: No.
02 37 49
Gus Grissom: It'll be coming up over my — on my right here pretty soon.
02 37 59
John Young: Boy, I tell you I really dig this zero g. This is the finest way to go I ever saw.
02 39 26
Gus Grissom: That looks about right in pitch. Roll is off.
02 39 31
John Young: Can you stick this on your side?
02 39 34
Gus Grissom: That mess? Doesn't that go in your food box?
02 39 40
John Young: Would if there was any room in it.
02 39 43
Gus Grissom: I don't have any room.

02 39 45
John Young: I don't either.
02 39 46
Gus Grissom: Drop it back behind the seat, I guess.
02 39 51
John Young: I'll try to stick it in the food box.
02 40 30
John Young: Okay, what does the flight plan say about here, Gus?
02 40 33
Gus Grissom: I'm supposed to be doing the Horizon Scanner Check, but I don't have time to do it.
02 40 41
John Young: Oh, okay. Well thanks, I'm done. I'm supposed to be doing that O₂ High Rate Check. Is it at 2:40 in the flight plan?
02 40 49
Gus Grissom: Yes. 2:40 right now.
02 40 53
John Young: Okay, we'll got to O₂ High Rate. I've —
02 40 56
Gus Grissom: Man! The primary scanners are working! How about that!
02 40 59
John Young: I got to have some light here to look at the oxygen gages. Is that all right?
02 41 02
Gus Grissom: Yeah, I just can't figure out —
02 41 06
John Young: Okay, I'll go to O₂ High Rate. O₂ High Rate isn't the way to go.
02 41 28
John Young: Okay, MARK. O₂ High Rate.
02 41 29
Gus Grissom: I'm sure uncomfortable.
02 41 30
John Young: Yes, it's bad.
02 41 31
Gus Grissom: Let's leave the heater switch off and let the oxygen pressure come down a bit.
02 41 33
John Young: It will come down, and I mean it will come down!
02 41 36
Gus Grissom: You got the batteries on?
02 41 37
John Young: And at the start of the O₂ High Rate Check, O₂ quantity was reading 65 percent. Cabin pressure was 5.1. Cabin pressure is building slowly.
02 42 17
John Young: Look at that suit inlet temperature go up.
02 42 23
Gus Grissom: Is that moon coming up at about the right spot for you for zero yaw?
02 42 26
John Young: I don't see it over here, Gus.
02 42 29
Gus Grissom: Almost dead ahead. Maybe it's daylight. Maybe it's the sunrise.
02 42 44
Gus Grissom: Thruster sounds are about like the trainer, aren't they?
