04 17 52
John Young: Okay, but — that's what we're going to shoot for.
04 18 27

04 18 33
Gus Grissom: Hawaii, Molly Brown.
04 18 46
Gus Grissom: Man! I mean we start to burn just as we come over there.
04 18 50
John Young: Let's go ahead and hit the Catch-Up thing and see what it says.
04 18 56
Gus Grissom: Nothing.
04 18 58
John Young: Well, let's do it — put it back in. Okay. Now try it.
04 19 05
John Young: Okay. Now.

04 20 49
Hawaii CapCom: Roger, and give us a mark for the start of burn.
04 20 53
Gus Grissom: Roger. We've got about 25 seconds to go.

04 24 51
Gus Grissom: Let's see, did we get all of this?

04 25 37
Gus Grissom: Now, don't go out of Reentry mode.
04 25 38
John Young: Okay, but I don't think it would make any difference, as long as we go back. Okay — platform — rate — computer to REENTRY — RATE COMMAND — roll gyro off.
04 25 52
Gus Grissom: Yes.
04 25 53
John Young: Platform is ORBITAL RATE — No.
04 25 54
Gus Grissom: No.
