John Young

Yes, sideways, and pitch down 90. Will this hurt alinement? — because I can see some targets up north.

Gus Grissom

You mean roll to the right?

Guaymas CapCom

We are standing by for your coolant pump checks.

John Young

Roll left, and pitch down.

Gus Grissom

I don't see a good target anyplace.

Gus Grissom

What did you say, Guaymas?

Guaymas CapCom

We are standing by for your report on your Coolant Pump Checks.

Gus Grissom

I don't see anything that makes a decent target at all.

John Young

Well, I can't — can you pitch down so I can see something?

Gus Grissom

Oh, you can't see anything. If I pitched straight over you could have. See?

John Young

Here, there is a target down there.

John Young

You've got to pitch the nose down. Right by the nose.

Gus Grissom

That green spot?

John Young

No, down — like straight down.

Gus Grissom

I don't know what you see.

John Young

There's all kinds of stuff. See that town down there?

John Young

Right around here on the right.

Gus Grissom

I can't see over there, John. I'll roll back to the right so we can both see. Ah yeah, there is one right down below here. Let's see if I can get it.

Gus Grissom

Guaymas, go ahead.

Guaymas CapCom

Have you completed your Coolant Pump Checks?

Gus Grissom

I'm tracking him right on around.

John Young

Tell them we have done our Coolant Pump Check.

Guaymas CapCom

Roger. What is the status on the checks?

John Young

What difference does it make?

John Young

We couldn't get the B pumps to come on simultaneously.

Gus Grissom

We couldn't get the pumps on simultaneously.

Guaymas CapCom

Say again, Molly Brown. You're broken.

Gus Grissom

We couldn't get the pumps on simultaneously.

Guaymas CapCom

I copied you cannot get the pumps on simultaneously.

Gus Grissom

Got the pictures?

Gus Grissom

That is right up from the tip of the Gulf of California, isn't it?

Gus Grissom

I don't see the Salton Sea.

Guaymas CapCom

Guaymas standing by for your standby T/M real-time modulation check.

Gus Grissom

I can't see in here now. I'm blind.
