John Young: Yes. Well, I'm going to turn them off now and see what happens. Okay. The mains are off. Been on seven minutes while we were on O₂ High Rate. Okay, we are down to 62 percent at three hours. We are two percent under what we should be. That ought to be good enough for a couple of orbits.

Gus Grissom: I really can't tell whether I have zero yaw or not. What do you think?
02 48 46
John Young: Get off some and then I can tell.
02 48 49
Gus Grissom: I'll take this sight down out of here a second.
02 48 58
Gus Grissom: I have to get the 8-ball caged.
02 49 02
John Young: Now I can tell you have — haven't.
02 49 05
Gus Grissom: Do I have to go to the right?
02 49 07
John Young: You have to go back to the right. You are going the right way.
02 49 17
John Young: Yes.
02 49 30
John Young: Now, let's see what T_R is.
02 49 35
Gus Grissom: How does that look to you? Is that enough?
02 49 38
John Young: It looks pretty good to me, Gus.

Hawaii CapCom: Hello, Molly Brown. This is Hawaii CAP COM.
02 49 52
Gus Grissom: Hello, Hawaii. This is Molly Brown.
02 49 54
Hawaii CapCom: Confirm your telemetry in REAL-TIME and ACQUISITION.
02 50 01
Gus Grissom: Telemetry is in REAL-TIME and ACQ. Neil —

John Young: I thought they told us to put it in COMMAND over Carnarvon.
02 50 11
Hawaii CapCom: Yeah. Go ahead, Molly Brown.
02 50 12
Gus Grissom: I have a problem with the 8-ball here, keeping it alined, or Orbit Rate control is not right.
02 50 21
Hawaii CapCom: Say again, Molly Brown. I didn't understand.
02 50 26
Gus Grissom: The attitude on the 8-ball is drifting badly. I'm trying to get it alined right now.
02 50 32
Hawaii CapCom: Okay. Understand the 8-ball attitude is drifting badly. You have a GO from the ground. We are ready to up-line a 4-1 T_R to you.
02 50 40
Gus Grissom: Roger.
02 50 43
Gus Grissom: John, do you think I've got too much right yaw?
02 50 50
Gus Grissom: Ready to copy it?
02 50 58
John Young: Tell them to send it.
02 51 00
Gus Grissom: Go ahead and send it.
02 51 02
Hawaii CapCom: Okay, sending now.
02 51 14
John Young: Roger, 4-1 time received and verified.
02 51 18
Hawaii CapCom: And we would like to send you a T_X as soon as you are ready.
02 51 20
John Young: Roger. Send T_X.
02 51 35
Hawaii CapCom: Right, sending T_X now. And we confirm your T_R — in synch.
02 51 59
Hawaii CapCom: Give us a hack when you start your Gage Correlation Check.
02 52 10
John Young: Okay, Roger. Mark the Gage Correlation Check.
02 52 12
Hawaii CapCom: Roger. Got it.
02 52 20
John Young: Okay. Gage Correlation Check at 1816, and away we go.

Gus Grissom: What do you thin, John? Do you think that's about it?
Note: Reference to yaw alinement
02 52 31
John Young: Yes.
02 52 43
John Young: —and the propellant quantity is 60 percent.
02 52 44
Gus Grissom: That should be about zero, shouldn't it?
02 52 47
John Young: Yes.
02 52 50
Hawaii CapCom: Molly Brown, Hawaii CAP COM. Are both your attitude indicators drifting together?
02 52 57
Gus Grissom: Affirmative.
02 52 58
Hawaii CapCom: Okay.
02 52 59
John Young: Natch. Cabin temperature — 92. Suit temperature — 58. Cabin pressure is 5.6. Suit CO₂ is 3/4. Left bottle is 5100. Right bottle is 5050. O₂ quantity 62. Pressure is 840. Source temperature is 55. Source pressure is 2000. OAMS fuel —

Hawaii CapCom: Molly Brown, Hawaii CAP COM. Everything looks good on the ground. We will see you on the next time around. Aloha.
02 53 47
Gus Grissom: Roger.
02 53 48
John Young: Roger. We are in the middle of the Gage Correlation Report.
02 54 06
John Young: OAMS fuel temperature — 68. RCS A temperature — Gee! A temperature is 87.
02 54 12
Gus Grissom: Look at the ball. It immediately goes out in roll.
