CC: Yom can be in Rendezvous. That's okay. As you approach the target, you can have a readout going on 69 and it shouldn't, aa I understand it, it shouldn't change until you actually acquire the target and start reading out some range; and then once you get a range readoub you can start into you cycles.

C: That would be great. BOth of us have been sitting here shivering all the last few hours.
CC: Did rushing that suit temperature up to full warm help out any there, Gordo?
C: Barely. Got it on full warm but if you run it completelY to f_l] warm, it shuts the flow completely off.
CC: Right. That warms it up a little bit, doesn't it?

C: Oh, it doesn't m_tter how many tim_s that it does it.
P: It's Just that it does it--
C: l'c's Just that every t_me it does it, it Just wakes me up, just BAM, like--
C: I'm going to put in a real strong recolmendation to Shaky and Frank that they don't take it unless they redo that thing, because I told those guys that I thought that it was too noisy months ago.
P: Yes, you're right; it really m-kes a lot of noise. I didn't realize how much it made. Especially seeing how quiet it is in here.
P: Even When I mumble in the mike and you're asleep, I know it wakes you up.
C: Yes, sc_etimes it does. No, not usu slly; it just depends. Like if I'm just trying to get to sleep and can't--

C: That's the airglow.
P: Yes, but it's all jagged over here on my side.

C: No. that's the Milky Way, isn't it?
P: No, I can't distinguish any color except that it is very bright and it's sort of a greenish color if anything; and it's changing, it's brightening and _w_ug and it occupies about 15 degrees across the horizon.
C: Let me yaw right and see if I can take a look at it.
C: Yc_i've got to yaw fester, because we'11 be leavln_ it pretty quick.

P: As a matter of a fact, that's very interesting. LoQk, the -_r$1ow actually slopes up; I mean it gets black. You see that?
C: No, I think what it is, is that there are clouds under the airglow elsewhere, and maybe this is just Clear right in here.
P: Yes, but that's Aurora. I$'s changing. And it's sort of gree_. Bon't you agree the color is sort of green?
P: Turn out your light. That's Aurora.

P: There's Sidney down there, bright as day!
P: Okay, now did you see the Southern Cross and Alpha and Beta Kentaurus? They're up real well and we're not going to have any strain--You're going to h_ve to roll left 120 degrees; _f_er that, pitch up keeping the horizon in sight until you see Achernar, and then move up till you pick up Grus and Fomalhaut for the S-l, next rev.

C: We're going right over New Zealand now.
P: Yes. There's a couple or three towns down there, isn't there? CO,r' F!DENT!AL k
P: O_j I got the red light back on; we can get back on the flight plan here.
C: A good point here that I'd like to record, that Pete has Just made, is that these power amd utility and telemetry plugs are al-_st imposjible to hook up at night. They're very miserable. They don't have a proper detent _o lock in right, and you have to fiddle around with them a little too _,¢h.
C: TTAe main trouble with this reticle - strictly for Wall_'a purposes here - is that the reticle picks up any kind of light in the cock?it very badly. Just _ltiplies it by re.nyangles.
P: How's that? Does that make it any better?
C: Yes, but now you've picked up m_ little red light over here. That's the point that Pete just made; it's been made many times before and should be reiterated. I_canse condition of the poor lighting conditions and changing light and also this scum and crud that is on the window, whe_ you're going into or coming out of a day or night or vice versa, you're just completely blinded at that point.
P: Okay, the computer took a full 25 minutes to come on the line.
C: The platform. CONF!I.')ENTIAL
P: The plstfom, excuse me, the platform took 25 minutes to come Fast on the line. be very cold. C_t doing
P: for the tape. We're a platform aline at night with the reticle in the window and firing the pitch up thrusters. Makes quite a bright illuminatic_ off the reticle there in Gordo's eyes and also I can see it quite plainly.
C: Comment for the tape. We're alining the platform going right into the sun now, and I really notice a lot of film on _ windshield. It se_ms to be _ the inne_ side of the outer pane. It seems to be getting a little bit worse as the flight goes along. GUAYMAS _ MEXICO Gemini-5, Duaymas

P: Tape on, I believe that we have the smoke generators from Laredo site. Yes, I'm positive we do see it loud and clear, the smoke. The next thing is: Will we see the target?
C: Yes, we'11 see it, Pete.
P: Okay, what you want to do is put the sight right on the smoke and keep pitching.
P: You know, I looked right at that yesterday and I never did see the squares.
C: I don't think that's it, Pete. No, I think it's further over here to the right. heck:

P: Roger, would tell us the Laredo was makingsmoke.
CC: Yes, they were planning on it.
P: Ok_v, we had the smoke, but we could not pick up the squares. As a matter of fact, we had the smoke from about 200 miles out and we tracked right on the smoke and never picked up the squares. Now the sun angle is J pretty bad for the pass although the pass was right smack over the site.
P: And we had no trouble tracking it. We had no trouble picking up.the smoke, but we did not see the squares, either one of us.
