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.

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?
