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?
02 42 49
John Young: Yeah, not bad, is it? See, the O₂ pressure is coming down now. Okay, the mains coming on the line, in case we need the heaters.
02 42 59
Gus Grissom: Got the scanners again, I guess. That's what I got the last time.
02 43 04
John Young: Yeah. Okay, the O₂ pressure is now down to 925 and we have been on O₂ High Rate two minutes. Coming up on two minutes.
02 43 13
Gus Grissom: What was that?
02 43 14
John Young: Cabin pressure relief valve. Cabin pressure relief valve relieves with a loud shhh!
02 43 21
Gus Grissom: Still don't have that scanner light out. There it goes. That's what caused that thing to go out the last time—when you turned those mains on.
02 43 28
John Young: The horizon scanner?
02 43 30
Gus Grissom: Yes, but it came back on again, though.
02 43 34
John Young: That son-of-a-gun is relieving at 5.8, isn't it?
02 43 43
John Young: Okay, 2 minutes and 30 seconds O₂ High Rate.
02 43 59
John Young: And the Greenwich mean time is 1707.
02 44 07
Gus Grissom: Hey, give me that sight down there.
02 44 10
John Young: Okay.
02 44 11
Gus Grissom: I'll miss my tracking task.
02 44 16
John Young: You know what they did, they turned the sight around.

02 44 19
Gus Grissom: Really?
John Young: Yes.
02 44 23
John Young: Okay, that's three minutes and ten seconds of O₂ High Rate. Don't want to stay on it five minutes. I think that is more than a guy can stand. The suit inlet temperature is up to 64 and pressure is down to 825. We will shoot it a shot of manual heaters here when it gets to 800.
02 45 15
John Young: Okay, MARK. Four minutes on the O₂ High Rate Check. Now we will go to the first shot of manual heaters.
02 45 29
Gus Grissom: Man! It's almost impossible to see out with the sight in front of you.
02 45 36
John Young: Pressure is still dropping. Now it's coming up. Okay.
02 45 59
Gus Grissom: When you get that scanner light it pitches you right down.
02 46 01
John Young: Yeah. That's what they said it'd do, didn't they? Okay, 10 seconds to go, and been holding the manual heater switch in for the last minute. It's keeping the pressure up to 825.
02 46 10
Gus Grissom: Oh, man! That ball is staying way off —
02 46 13
John Young: Okay, MARK. O₂ High Rate recocked.
02 46 15
Gus Grissom: Give me the mark when you think I've got zero yaw.
02 46 18
John Young: Okay.
02 46 24
Gus Grissom: Oh, man! I don't know about this.
02 46 27
John Young: Turning the auto heater off.
02 46 34
John Young: Can't see a thing, Gus. The quantity at the end of the O₂ High Rate Check was down to 62 percent. Started at 66 and ended 62. I can't see a thing out the window, Gus, because of the sun.
02 46 58
Gus Grissom: This is about zero yaw.
02 47 01
John Young: Go a little bit left.
02 47 07
John Young: That looks pretty good, although —
02 47 09
Gus Grissom: That's about what we had in pitch attitude for zero before, wasn't it?
02 47 12
John Young: Yes.
02 47 14
John Young: Okay. At 2:40 in the flight plan —
02 47 22
Gus Grissom: That shows 30° off on the ball.
02 47 31
John Young: Started out at 66 and ended at 62, at 2:40.
02 47 37
Gus Grissom: Hey, what time do we come across the coast here?
02 47 40
John Young: We come across the coast at 3:04. What time is it?
02 47 44
Gus Grissom: That's too much pitch-up for zero attitude, don't you think?
02 47 48
John Young: Huh?
02 47 49
Gus Grissom: Is this too much pitch-up for zero attitude?
02 47 51
John Young: Yep.
02 47 54
John Young: Okay, the OAMS propellant at 2:50 is 62 percent.
02 48 02
Gus Grissom: You going to leave those mains on?
02 48 03
John Young: No.
02 48 05
Gus Grissom: It's dropping down pretty good.
02 48 07
John Young: No, no it didn't, see?
02 48 09
Gus Grissom: Coming up?
