LMP: Okay, Donn?
CMP: Yes.
LMP: They Just broke off.
CMP: They gave up.
LMP: Okay, we can continue with this now. It's ... but while you're there, let's get the pyro breakers off.
CDR: Guys, we had a good second stage a few sec- onds after count and reached 2g before SECO.
CDR: If we got information, by the way, on mode 4, I didn't hear it. Did anybody else copy it?
LMP: I didn't hear it either, and in spite of the g-load, though, I had no trouble reaching all the switches and operating the time-code meter throughout.
CDR: Just at the last part, after 2 minutes, it started to read about 4g.
CMP: Okay, let's continue with the ECS postinser- tion configuration here.
CMP: You want to try that little peep on our suits if I hold it?
CMP: What we need to get here, Wally, Js that reservoir. Can you get at it?
LMP: I'd like to loosen up on my shoulder harness here, and I can get at a couple of circuit breakers, too.
CDR: Okay, let's go ahead.
CMP: Okay, the next one's the hard one. We've got to get the glycol reservoir bypass valve OPEN, with the inlet and outlet valves CLOSED. CC:I7.CZ;'Ti,',' ' i
CMP: Not the radiator but the glycol ... It's awf_J11y hard to reach, Walt.
LMP: Yes, I am going to loosen up my shoulder harness if you think it is okay, so far. Okay, not unplug it, Just loosen it, huh? What do you think, Wally?
CDR: I don't think - Oh hell, we can't get shot down. Are there any systems that you are worried about?
LMP: Not a thing. already going? Go ahead.
CDR: Did you unstrap awhile ago?
CMP: Oh, I just want to get my shoulder harness unhooked.
LMP: One big question mark: we still have to work on the system to see if the radiator is flow- ing right.
CMP: Yes, I'm Just loosening my belt a little - the strap's a little long.
LMP: That was a lot easier than any simulation
CMP: Yes, we didn't have ... trying to get in our knickers.
CDR: Yes, I want to go to - let's go to hot mikes and see how it is.
LMP: I can't stand my seat belts ...
CMP: Boy, I've got a couple of problem circuit breakers over here myself, Walt.
CDR: I'11 guard the hand controls while you guys can't wrestle with your belts. I make it up. ·.. Okay, . .. lock it out here.
CDR: Never did get that swizzle stick, did we?
LMP: No. again.
CDR: Okay, give me those DO's
LMP: Okay, let's see. Bypass to OPEN, first - the bypass valve OPEN first, and then the reservoir outlet valve CLOSED, and last, the inlet valve CLOSED.
CDR: Okay, that's done.
CDR: Now about that, have you ever been ... over here.
LMP: Well, let's see, we are about 27 minutes into the flight. We might try to flow our radiators. Let's go ECS radiator flow control to POWER, Donn.
CMP: POWER.
LMP: Okay, glycol to radiator primary valves, push, Wally.
LMP: Look at him go. (Laughter)
LMP: This is our first ... (Laughter)
LMP: Oh well. (Laughter) ...
CDR: What's going on. I can't see what you're doing.
CDR: I can't understand moving around and can't get back. (Laughter) I grabbed the valve and start doing "boom" - -
CDR: First time had so much room up here. It's a real ball .... easy back there.
CDR: This is going to be a real expedition to get back in these beauties. (Laughter)
CDR: I still have - I've still got two circuit breakers I haven't gotten.
LMP: Okay, I'm going to ... - I'm going to put STEAM/URINE DUMP HEATERS in, switch should he ON. Verify that switch is ON down there if you can see it, Donn.
CMP: Yes. It's ON, Walt.
CDR: Do you want to move the couch back up yet, or do you need to?
LMP: Really, I don't think I need to; I'm up here.
CMP: I think we - yes, I think we ought to leave it where it is. I've got a- when we - -
CDR: Yes.
CMP: - - unstow down there, I have to have it in this position to start with.
CMP: Hey, I found a good place for the pens, gang.
CMP: Pen, like this, see? pencil Jazz.
CDR: Okay, let's see if we've got any other good things to do here.
CMP: Did you get completely unpacked, Wally?
CDR: I had to. Whenever ... I pulled that handle I Just started doing a 180. I had to get another hand out.
LMP: Okay, we want to check - we want to monitor pretty close For the outlet temperature, Dorm, to be less than the inlet. It looks like it is already doing that.
CMP: It's coming down. It's down to . .. so far.
LMP: Yes.
CDR: You notice all the stars you see out there on the right? (Laughter)
LMP: Yes, 8 billion stars out there.
CDR: There's sure a lot of dirt on those side windows; look how dusty they are.
CMP: You ?now, I haven't even hardly looked out yet. That's only the second time I've looked out.
CDR: Okay, why don't you take a minute snd look out. It's much fun.
LMP: Okay, ECS radiator talk-back is gray. Looks like the radiators - watch that pretty close -
CMP: Yes, I'11 keep an eye on them for you, Walt, tcauze we - -
LMP: - - 'cause we've got to go back and bypass them again if it's not - -
CDR: Yes, we're out of communication. We'11 pick up Tananarive at 36 minutes. Are you done with it?
LMP: Okay, I can finish by then. Yes.
CMP: I think it's coming down, Walt. This scale is drifting, it's a little hard to tell.
LMP: Okay, ECS radiator heater to PRIMARY 1.
CMP: Roger, heater to PRIM 1.
LMP: The talk-back should be gray on those radia- tors.
CMP: Right, it's gray.
LMP: Okay, GLYCOL EVAP TEMP primary inlet to AUTO, Dorm. /
CMP: GLYCOL EVAP, right there to AUTO. STEAM/URINE
LMP: .Roger, AUTO. The DUCT HEATERS circuit breakers are both closed. and
CMP: Okay. Primary secondary quantities.
CDR: Okay, the LH 2 vents should close at 31 min- utes. Let's listen and see if we hear any- thing. I'm not sure what's going to happen. (Laughter)
CDR: Hey, don't we have to keep - I'm a little warm, how about you?
LMP: I'm a little warm too, and the suit - but the suit inlet TEMP is still holding about the same, 47 degrees, but I am coming up in temperature. I don't know whether it's the work, or what.
CMP: Well, we've got a much lower flow I expect than whenwe ... to the gas.
CMP: I'm at that same temperature. It's colder than hell.
LMP: ... wait, Donn. I figured you wouldn't mind.
CMP: What?
LMP: I figured you wouldn't mind waiting - -
CMP: What's that?
LMP: - - getting warm. It happens that way.
CMP: ' Oh yes, I figured - if it's a good chill-down for you.
LMP: Okay, Wally?
CDR: Yes?
LMP: Looks like the radiators are flGwing okay. I'd like to leave them there, and we've got - as far as we can go 'til Domn get_wout of the couch.
CDR: Okay, how about that cesual burn?
CMP: It looks like we have got; 73 degrees going in and about 60 degrees coming out of the radia- tor turn.
LMP: Yes, they are all beginning to work.
CDR: I want you guys to make note of the approach- ing night now, which is going to occur at about 36 minutes. Look for things like the terminator, cloud layers - I hope you have no doubt in your mind what yaw is, do you?
LMP: No, but I am not sure Just how accurately I could pin it down, either, without trying a couple of times.
CDR: You need a couple of lines. Donn has the good lines, I've got - I think I'11 put the OOAS up there.
CDR: This one is almost perfect for your yaw and roll. It's the pitch that's not too good.
LMP: By the horizon, we could get some roll.
CDR: Okay.
CDR: Boy, it gets easy to work in here wi[h that zero-g stuff, huh?
LMP: Yes, it sure is, isn't it? All the difference in the world.
CDR: Kind of handy.
CDR: ... bump nry butt ... like that - - (Laughter)
CDR: Okay, let's see if that beauty works now. COl., 111 iT'._'' 8 ' Dayi
LMP: Okay, Donn,- I was trying to tell you on the pad there, we haven't had that stupid thing working in the simulator, the propellant tank temperature.
CMP: The light bulb works ..., gang. an
LMP: It does. It's open-loop manual control, 55 to 75- I thought the first time we got down I'd see if heater A hacks it - if not we'11 try it with both heaters. It is a 2_-hour Job on about a ?-hour cycle, I think.
CMP: Okay, Walt, you Just told me - that is some- thing to keep an eye on now and then.
CDR: Oh man, is this COAS beautiful for yaw. God dam_. See, it rotated_ See what I'm doing? Let m_ scoot over here, the flag is down. See, I rotate it in pitch - I rotate the thing in roll axis with the pitch pulses.
CDR: Just put it where I want it, and man, I've point got a to pick right down it. Look at that might coming up on us.
CDR: Everybody's talking about SEF. As you go into ... you see the fuzzy - there is no horizon any more. You can't define it. Look at it, Walt.
LMP: Y_:s.
CDR: '' There is no way to tell where the hell the horizon is.
CMP: Oh man, that is terrible, Just a big blur.
LMP: Yes, yes, there's no way to tell.
CDR: Well, I can see it on your side better, though.
LMP: Let me read - -
CDR: Yes, as you go off the edges, you can. _'_k Iff'l rxrl_ I_'t · I ·., ,_I _ I i_s_ _ Day 1
LMP: - - Let me read CRYO tanks onto the tape here, and we will be pretty much caught up. Okay?
LMP: Okay, we have hydrogen pressure is sitting about - it looks like 230 on tank i and about 245 on tank 2.
LMP: 02 tank i pressure is 870, tank 2 is about 860 - make that tank i about 880, and the third tank 870, and tank 2, 860; and the cycle on the oxygen tank, on our gage at least, seems to be between about 850 to 900 instead of the greenline areas. The hydrogen quantity - we lifted off with about 95 on the left and 93 on the right. Oxygen quantity is lO0 percent.
CDR: Very good. Ho hum.
CMP: I'd like to point out that hydrogen pressure number i was out of the green. Before llft- off, it was about 220.
CDR: It was low?
LMP: Yes, I think you called my attention to it Just before it started cycling. That gage is not too good.
CMP: That reminds me, I was watching that DELTA-V counter that first set. We had 90 000 on there, and I reset it. (Laughter)
CMP: It looks good now.
CMP: How about turning that DELTA-V OFF when you come back up here. I need a ... Okay, I'11 go OFF and go to network. [
CDR: Okay. OFF and AUTO.
CMP: Okay now, we need to bring some lights up here to see, even. Do you want to try an integral lightup a little bit here to see if it works - the integra]? Day 1 10
CDR: I'm taking the floods down, Just out of curiosity. night
CDR: It's still not yet.
CDR: See if we can find any stars out there. This our go-around. is first
LMP: This Velcro is not too good, you know it?
CMP: No, ...
CDR: What I'm doing with this thiDg, Walt, I'm clipping the thing, see? I've used the - took the ring apart and put it around the wicket.
LMP: Okay, very good.
UNKNOWN: this stuff dumps. We'11 have a lot of good data. (Laughter)
LMP: Yes, I hope so too.
CDR: If it doesn't, it's all off.
CDR: You don't need this part anymore, Donn, you can save that for posterior - -
CMP: Yes, I am putting all this stuff - -
CDR: - - and that for posterior, and all this is posterior. This is still good.
LMP: Oh, you can tear all that off if you want.
CDR: Yes, that's okay with mc.
CMP: Okay.
CDR: Well, we'11 leave it up there for now, Just so we can get this other garbage.
LMP: When we finally put this stuff away, I am going to put all - -
CMP: Hey, I got a star in sight.
LMP: 'I'm going to put all my cards away, Donn.
CMP: God damn, he's moving fast. How can we do that?
LMP: We're moving.
CMP: No, no, no, no, no ... They don't move.
LMP: Do you ever get the -
CMP: Oh, wait, we're in ORB RA_, I guess.
LMP: Yes, but do you ever get the impression that we' re deerbiting?
CDR: Oh, man, wait 'til you see us pointing straight down sometime. You feel you' re doing a split S. You know, I did that one time and I wanted to pull out. (Laughter)
CDR: You can back your lights down a little - -
CDR: - - and take a look and see what the world's doing.
CMP: I'm taking six ...
CDR: You know, I'm getting a little venting here. Look at this, Dorm. I put up the DELTA-V AUTO - -
CMP: Posigrade, huh?
CDR: - - which shows you're not getting it in ... maybe.
CMP: Sunlight.
CMP: There she goes. Be sure we - well, they're going to give us a call from the ground. I want to get P47 on there when they do the dump next big ever the pass. rfh..T:DZ:'T:.',L-- Oay
CDR: Well, when we get our next vent, we want to get a new state vector, don't we? Or, are we going to Just update it?
LMP: Yes, but I say when the booster vents, the big LOX dump - -
CDR: We want to get that in.
CMP: Be sure that's in P47, so it gets in. Course, they'11 give us a state vector anyway, but - -
CMP: God damn, isn't that delightful?
CDR: That's really great for the old S-IVB for the rendezvous.
UNKNOWN: Oh, gosh darn it! I Just released my shoulder harness, it might - really, you all, it's going to be a bear getting back into this thing.
CMP: Yes. (Coughing)
CDR: How about that for S-IVB attitude? Man, that is a doozy.
LMP: I'm afraid once you get back in there - (Laught e r )
CDR: It feels like you can't get into there because the suit is still inflated, Walt. in
CDR: You're sort of a bubble. to note, and I didn't see it until - See that strap by your right foot? I was going to worry about it not bcing clipped, but it isn't.
CDR: Details! Day i 13
LMP: Hey, I think I am going to take and kind of wrap this shoulder harness around the - -
CMP: Hey, I see fires.
LMP: Oh, that is beautiful.
CDR: Yes, you can.
LMP: Do you see some on the ground?
CMP: Yes - See something that's orange down there - orange spots.
LMP: That's pretty.
CMP: There's something else weird. I looked out here, and I see what looks like stars if I were looking at a simulator star ball - -
CDR: That's lightning.
CMP: Except I can't see stars because I'm looking 'at the ground, and they're not moving which they should be, because we're in ORB RATE. I don't know what it is. It must be some little - -
CDR: Here's your - here's your attitude.
CMP: - - ... or something out there.
LMP: Look how much light is coming in from my side over here. It's hitting the edge of the window. I thought maybe that's what it is.
LMP: Maybe little spots - little sunspots on the window.
CMP: Hey, bow about - -
LMP: Yes, they are getting darker.
CMP: What about going to - well, if we went to boost, we got oua' heads Jammed up there, don't we? I mean - -
CMP: I think we're better off here until we need to go to boost.
LMP: Okay.
CDR: You mean dock?
CDR: Dock, yes.
LMP: I'm going to bring some light up here.
CMP: Were we supposed to pick sombody up at 36? It's 40 now.
CDR: Yes, we're at 40.
CDR: Houston CAP COMM, Apollo 7. We're S-band over r_sJlarive.
LMP: I don't think we've got S-band. We have no lockup on the right antenna.
CDR: Houston CAP COMM, Apollo 7 over Tanauarive. Do you read?
CDR: Say something else, ...
LMP: Something else. We never did get this in because of the status of that simulator. Is the VHF antenna - we've always been able to ignore it.
CDR: I tell you what you want to do, anytime we can. Now, I've got my COAS up. We'11 try to stay ahead of this beauty all the time.
LMP: Yes. Day 1 _5
CDR: It's a real nice feeling that - -
LMP: You are going to have to kind of feed it to bLS.
CDR: That's why I got it out. % _
CMP: Well, all we have to do now is Just coast at nighttime, look for stars. Well, the COAS, that's the first event.
LMP: How about Donn maybe starting to - the next thing he has to do is get out and start unstowing, isn't it? Is there any reason why we - yes, I guess we have to wait for a GO, don't we?
CDR: We get a GO/NO-GO, yes, I'd rather not - -
CDR: - - get too far off. I'm sure we're GO, - honest. hut let's play
LMP: Look at this, Donn.
CDR: We've got 53 minutes 'til we pick up Carnar- von. strap.
CMP: (Laughter) Look at this damn
CDR: I'm telling you something guys - {laughter) let's enjoy these few minutes. We've got lO minutes to go before we pick up Carnarvon.
CMP: Hey, Wally, look at this damn strap flying
CDR: Yes, isn't that wild?
CMP: (Laughter)
CMP: If that's that little peep, I spent about 2 minutes trying to get ahold of that thing. Beating it over there. Beating it back and forth. Day i 16
CDR: I wondered what you were playing with.
CMP: Yes. I got it trapped and then I lost it.
CDR: There's a little nut that you want to look for, a hex nut, about the diameter of my finger.
LMP: Oh, yes?
CDR: It came off the PYRO BATTERY terminal. Of course, they lost it, they put another one on. It's a silvery gold color.
CDR: It's tracking in here nice.
CDR: Let's take a look for the stars. They've all blacked out.
LMP: Oooooooooh! I'11 tell you. It's a good been damn disappointed. It's been such a quiet day. (Laughter)
CMP: I'11 tell you, man, ... There is no doubt about it.
LMP: Look at the stars out there, Wally, on your left.
CDR: 0h, beautiful!
CMP: ...
CMP: Hey, I only see a couple of stars.
CDR: It's pretty clear, but - -
LMP: Oh, beautiful sky over here, yes.
CMP: I Just got a - I don't know what it was, lost the COAS.
LMP: You know it's hard as hell to imagine that this could be Navi over here. My whole frame of reference is rotated up - I don't know how it's rotated. (Laughter) Now I can see the horizon at night.
CMP: Yes, you should be looking at Navi on that side, Walt.
LMP: Is that right? Well, I - -
CMP: Now you can see the horizon, look at the air_ glow. See it, Walt?
UNKNOWN: Yes, beautiful - - Walt?
CMP: - - horizon there,
LMP: Oh yes, beautiful.
CMP: See out here?
CMP: Let's see. I thought that - -
LMP: I can't see it from here.
LMP: What's the flashes that I see.
CMP: Did you see some flashes? I did too, Walt.
LMP: I did ...
CMP: ..., huh?
CDR: I wonder if that's that hydrogen venting? It's not thrusters, I hope.
CMP: I hope not there.
LMP: Well, you know it could be. That's probably the S-IVB attitude - -
CDR: Probably the attitude thrusters - -
CMP: It's the attitude thrusters.
CDR: I'11 bet that's the S-IVB - I saw one too. That's why I wondered.
CMP: Yes. Okay;
CDR: I bet that's it. we've got that one logged, I assume.
LMP: Yes, the tape's running. Look at - - Inci- dentally, the thing we're going to have to watch on that tape is, when we get over a station now, they're going to dump it, and for that period of time we've lost it.
CMP: Oh, that's weird. I see two points of light on the ground. Looks like the stars are going through the earth again.
CDR: Yes, I see it. (Laughter)
CDR: It's a trick of that simulator.
LMP: (Laughter) Oh, it's a piece of cake up here, isn't it?
CMP: Oh, it's a good feeling.
LMP: You know, I have the feeling that I'm upside- down.
CDR: That's good, 'cause you are. (Laughter)
CDR: You'11 notice the curvature of the earth is a little bit flatter than what we saw in the simulator.
CMP: Just a little.
CDR: Did you see that flash then down there?
LMP: I sure did.
LMP: Hey, I'11 tell you something. The stars are nicely. Ill C_ irL_L ,-r.J· J-i--_ Day i 19
CMP: Man, I hope they stay that way.
LMP: 1, 2, 3. I can see six of them. There's supposed to be seven. I could see seven, I'11 bet, but we've got that dread LEB light wiping me out.
CDR: That's a good testimonial for the windows.
LMP: Yes, but of course, it could possibly get worse, you know, as the flight goes on, though. That's kind of -
CMP: Well, what I'm thrilled about is the fact that they're not occluded by that damn tower. -
LMP: Hey, that's spastic_ Did you put anything on tape on that? That thing takes off like a scalded eagle'
CDR: Yes sir' No, that goes off like the - that's the Jettison motor, isn't it?
LMP: Yes. That's Just a Jettison motor, yes.
CMP: I didn't see much out there out through the center window. I saw a little orange flame and some little pieces go by.
CDR: Well, that's something else I want to get on the tape during boost. Just before 2 min- utes, I saw a wisp of smoke between the boost protective cover and my number 2 rendezvous window here.
UNKNOWN: Huh'
CDR: Like something was cooking. It really drew my attention. I'm Just naturally conscious of something like that.
LMP: I'11 be darned!
CDR: it was outside of the spacecraft, but between the _pacecraft and the boost protective cover. Well, Walt - -
LMP: Yes?
CDR: You know how the airglow is. You can see stars at 12 o'clock, below us.
LMP: 12 o'clock, you said?
CDR: See that big white star?
LMP: Yes. Oh, yes.
CDR: Well, that airglow is way up there. It's a good 2 or 3 degrees.
LMP: But what bothers me - is that a star?
CDR: That's a star you see there - watch it come up through. See that bright star right there? It's
LMP: very bright.
CDR: ... It's coming up through the airglow, and now it's right on the edge of it.
CMP: You know what that might be? It might be do_m around where Sirius could be.
CDR: Yes, and I think it is.
CDR: gee, now it's out of the airglow.
LMP: I see a couple of meteorites. That's what those lights are moving.
CMP: Very likely.
LMP: Yes, I saw some meteorites burning themselves in.
CMP: That's fun to see, Walt.
CDR: At last Walt has a window to play with.
LMP: Yes. (Laughter)
UNKNOWN: That's why I noticed the tower going some- where. It was the first time I could see out.
LMP: But look, I've got - what is Sirius coming up very nicely. You can see it through the airglow for a long way.
CMP: Yes, I saw it about 2 or 3 degrees below the airglow.
LMP: All I can say is the target'il be easier to find here, Dorm.
CMP: Yes, I hope they work through the optics, too. (Laughter)
CDR: ... (Laughter)
CDR: Okay, we have about 6 minutes to go to Carnar- von. Let's - What do we need over Carnarvon?
CMP: Turn your tuz_ the flood out a second, Wally.
CDR: Do what?
CMP: Is that the Southern Cross you got out there?
CMP: We're due over Carnarvon at 53:40. are
LMP: Yes, what we supposed to have done by then? Day I 22
CDR: Yes, that's what that is, isn't it?
LMP: Oh, that's pretty.
CDR: That's right, you haven't seen that before, have you?
LMP: No, I didn't think it would look that big.
LMP: I'11 tell you one thing, I'm going to have - no, maybe it won't make it up. I should have Orion over here. Yes, I'11 bet Orion is over here in this blind spot, Wally.
CDR: Oh.
LMP: Isn't that nice?
CDR: We're pretty far south, you know.
LMP: Yes, but I've got Taurus out here and what is it - Aldebaran?
CDR: Yes, you know what you're looking at, Walt, that bright star was Betelgeuse.
LMP: Over here?
CDR: No, Orion's belt has come up through the airglow - -
LMP: Yes, I know.
CDR: That was Bellatrix there. Wait a minute.
LMP: That's Sirius.
CDR: No, no, no, no, it isn't; no, no, that bright star at 12 o'clock - -
LMP: Oh, Rigel you're talking about.
CDR: Rigel. You can see the - -
LMP: Wally, you're right. I J Day i 23
CDR: There's the belt - - was looking at part of - -
LMP: We ought to see another - hard star to find down underneath.
CDR: Sirius isn't coming up yet. We could use Sirius as a mark.
LMP: Well, Sirius is coming up now. I think you can see it dead ahead of you.
CDR: It should be Just in there, right between - -
LMP: It's Just at the top of the airglow now. See it, Just breaking out.
CDR: I don't think so. That's not bright enough.
LMP: No, it might not be. It might be the bottom of the belt - -
CDR: No, it'd be down in the belt a little more, coming up.
LMP: We're going to have Orion nicely, though.
LMP: We may be able to hack it. (Laughter)
LMP: And what is that other star that we got down there, Donn, that's Just below Orion, the hard one to find?
CMP: Gavavalon? No, that would be in the wrong place.
CDR: No ...
LMP: No ... around Sirius.
CDR: Do you see Sirius now?
CDR: It's bright and it - -
CDR: That's what amazes me. Now that's 2 degrees by the COAS and 2.2 degrees right, below the airglow.
CDR: Okay, let's get an elapsed time of 49:47.
LMP: How do you - where do you draw your line at that airglow in row? Up top of center?
CMP: I'm using the COAS. When I saw Sirius, I measured the angle which should act within the COAS.
CDR: Ok_v, now that sun looks like it's - -
LMP: I - -
CMP: - - I'11 give you a mark when I've got Sirius on the surface.
CMP: lO, 9, ---
CMP: MARK.
CMP: 50:14, 50:15.
CMP: That's quite a spread in time.
LMP: Yes, it is. And
CMP: there's two definite layers. I see a layer right next to earth. I see a star. coming up There's one --
CDR: That ia_beautif_i. Day i 25
CMP: There it is. There it is now about halfway between the two layers.
LMP: Right.
CDR: There's a low, low, low layer. See?
CMP: You know that's a .o. If we only had a tool to do it ... Wow! That's almost - It thins out at 4.
LMP: You know, if you'11 look out the side, Wally, it seems to be more evident.
CDR: Well, dead ahead at 12 o'clock, it's 3 degrees on my COAS.
CMP: Look at this little window-shade tab going around.
CDR: Oh, really?
CDR: Yes, ... (laughter).
LMP: Why don't we take a peek at that flight plan, and see what we've got to come up with at Carnarvon. Anything?
CDR: Just my COKE.
CMP: Quite a few - -
LMP: - - It looks like it's trying to lock on, gang.
CMP: At Carnarvon?
CDR: Over some place. I don't know what else it could be.
CMP: Okay, at Carnarvon. Install COAS, lithium hydroxide, I mean hydrogen, vent OPEN. We have a report from !,ICC,GO/NO-GO, S-IVB passlvation, - -
LMP: You ready to get out when you get a GO/NO-GO, Dorm ?
CMP: - - Yeah, boy. CMP to LEB, finish insertion checklist. Stow LMP, CMP, and CDR gloves and lifevests - -
LMP: First thing we can pick up is complete ECS insertion checklist, huh?
LMP: We can forget about that one for a while.
CDR: We'11 be at Carnarvon in about another minute.
CMP: It's too bad that everybody can't see this.
LMP: Yes, it's a shame.
CDR: Few nice gists like me want to hang around and go again. (Laughter)
LMP: You got that now, hu_h? (Laughter)
CDR: It's kind of hard to get rid of it.
LMP: I noticed you weren't terribly excited about that RED down there, but I -
CDR: No, I told you I get GO fever. (Laughter)
LMP: I can't think anything more natural.
CMP: COAS off. Hey look, I've got a lockup, gang.
LMP: Okay, let's see what they have to say. Let's me have the chart.
CDR: Hounton CAP COMM, Apollo 7 over Carnarvon.
CC: Roger, Apollo 7, this is Houston. Reading · you loud and clear.
LMP: Roger, read you same. We're having a ball. Day i 27
CC: Roger.
CDR: ... record launch vehicle ... S-IVB passiva- tion. I guess I could get that now.
CDR: Yes, I don't know if it means immediately before or not. Hey, the tape is running again, so can't we ... ...
UNKNOWN: SC You it from. know what I hear? I bet it is heard
UNKNOWN: the - the launch vehicle - -
UNKNOWN: A is 22.0 and B is 22.0.
UNKNOWN: you want me to get some of those pyro breakers on ... Donn. Yes. --- now.
UNKNOWN: can continue with this It's - drinking we've_ot the water supply valve to come - well, while you're there, let's get the pyro breakers.
CDR: Okay, I'11 get them, that's what I wa_ asking about. They're coming OFF now.
LMP: No, we want to leave them ON until after S-IVB. That's right.
CMP: Okay, they're in, then.
CDR: That's what I was asking. Did you want them in?
CMP: Fine and dandy. Verify they're in.
LMP: Okay, we want to go ahead and - DRINKING WATER SUPPLY valve, ON.
CMP: What is CNB? We're over that.
LMP: What?
CMP: That's Huntsville, isn't itt
LMP: CNB?
CDR: Now I wonder what tha t could mean.
CMP: Carnarv-, Carnarv-, -
CDR: Carnarv-, Canberra!
LMP: Canberra, yes. That's Honeysuckle, I guess they call it.
LMP: That noise is the tape recorder kind of going kk, kk, kk, kk.
CDR: It's terrible.
LMP: Yes, I think that drinking water's ON. My checklist says it's a valve.
CMP: If that's the case, we're hearing it through here, by the way.
CMP: It sounds like it's on its last leg (laughter). It's loud as hell down there (laughter).
LMP: Okay, Donn- -
CMP: Yes?
LMP: Do you want to cheek the SYSTEMS TEST meter 4A to see what the battery manifold pressure is?
CMP: Okay, 4 it is.
LMP: What are you reading?
CMP: I'm reading 3.7 volts.
LMP: Roger. We are reading 3.7 volts. We' re going to go ahead and now vent the battery manifold. We want to verify the WASTE STORAGE VENT valve is CLQSED. You can pull my feetpads - footpads - down out of the way if you want to. It will give you a little more room there.
UNKNOWN: okay, that's a good idea. Footpads down. Now, say again there - -
LMP: WASTE STORAGE VENT valves. You've got to verify that one is CLOSED.
CMP: WASTE STORAGE VENT valve is CLOSED - -
LMP: - - and the WASTE MANAGEMENT OVERBOARD DRAIN valve, CLOSED.
CMP: Okay, the OVERBOARD DRAIN is going to OFF. Okay, now - -
LMP: Now, vent the battery for 5 seconds.
LMP: And I'11 watch the meter go right on down there - - l, 2. You can let it go a little longer. I can see the meter is still moving.
LMP: Okay, that looks like it has stopped, Dorm.
CMP: Want me to close it?
CMP: Alright, CLOSED.
LMP: Now we want to put the WASTE MA_:%NGEMENT OVERBOARD DRAIN valve back to DUMP.
CMP: Okay, back to DUMP.
LMP: And we can read onto the tape what the battery manifold pressure reads - -
CMP: - - What do you want with this WASTE STORAGE VENT? Do you want that in OFF or VENT?
LMP: The WASTE MANAGEMENT OVERBOARD DRAIN valve - -
CMP: Yes, that one's in DUMP - -
LMP: - - To DUMP.
CMP: The WASTE STORAGE VENT, isn't that OPEN?
LMP: No, we would leave that one CLOSED, but -
LMP: We do, huh? Okay, how about the - -
LMP: We have to have one of those - -
CMP: Something's got to be open.
LMP: That's right, and - would you believe I've got the same valve called out twice in the checklist three lines apart?
CMP: Oh, is that what it is?
LMP: Yes, it's go t - -
CMP: - - That WAS_ STORAGE VENT is supposed to be OPEN, isn't it?
LMP: The WASTE STORAGE VENT - no, you want to leave that one closed. You only open that one when you are putting something in it.
LMP: But the OVERBOARD DRAIN line has to be open in order for - -
CMP: - - Okay, it's on DUMP. I'm squared away.
LMP: Okay, and the WASTE STORAGE is closed?
CMP: Right.
LMP: Okay, I'm going to write it here, should be the WASTE STORAGE VENT valve.
CMP: Oh! That mother can leak.
LMP: Wha%'s that?
CMP: Oh, this felt ... mapping. There it is.
LMP: There it is. Okay.
CDR: Are we recording now, Walt?
LMP: Yes, Wally.
CMP: Okay, I'm ready for whatever else - mount
LMP: Retro POO is OFF. We've got the - the ORDEAL BOX s_ld then you can look at your optics.
LMP: Well, Wally - have you got the flight plan?
CMP: Yes, that's the - -
CDR: Well, this involves taking you g_ys' helmets off, and then - -
CMP: Yes, that's what we really ought to hear.
LMP: Let's get that stuff done. I'11 give my gloves to you, Donn. You want to turn my ... off?
CMP: Okay, what about your R-12, too? I've got to do something - yes, give me your glove . ..
LMP: Let's Just go by the list that Wully's got there, Donn.
CMP: Okay - ... then we can swing into night side. I think that was a good move.
LMP: Boy, it will be nice when we get those suits off, won't it?
CMP: Kind of nice Just getting the helmets and gloves off.
CDR: It is, isn't it?
CMP: I've got some odor. Did somebody goof up the system?
CDR: You'11 get over that in a while.
CMP: I have yet to take a leak and I'm about ready to do it.
CMP: I nlmost got around to it Just about lift-off, but I decided I didn't want to get caught in the middle, i
CDR: Look at the sunrise, gang. There you go. That's the thrill of this business. See it, Walt?
CMP: Well, I've got some action (laughter). Will that suit be crowded .... The new genera- us. tion is upon
CDR: Hey, look at the clouds, Walt.
LMP: Look at those thunderheadsl
CDR: Yes. Aren't they great?
LMP: Lord - Those are some big ones, aren't they?
CMP: I stretched the bag, this is unreal (laughter).
CDR: There is going to be a few, I tell you (laughter).
CMP: Hey, listen, this is too much trouble to get and up down all that - -
CDR: Hey, I tell you - I think you - that Gunnar Went.
LMP: Hey, why are you laughing - didn't it have to happen before?
CMP: I have never heard it - I Just about busted a gut (laughter).
CMP: It's such an obvious pun - I guess the planning is the thing - -
CMP: Well - He said, "It looks like Gunnar's going," and you said, "Yes, I think Gunnar Went."
CDR: Listen, you're breaking my heart.
LMP: Hey, look at that, that's beautiful.
LMP: The sunrise is on your side.
CDR: Yes. You know it?
LMP: You mean we're coming up from the south, we're going north now.
LMP: I tell you I've got to get a reference sys- tem going here.
CDR: Once we roll over, you're like the world.
CMP: ° Yes, but let's see. We're coming in like -
LMP: You'11 have to put that in that bag for him.
CMP: Yes, I'11 get -
CDR: Yes, you Just put the bag around and I'11 hold it.
LMP: Lift up. ROLL B. Okay, I'm on the north side.
LMP: I guess if I keep remembering that I might make - I might make out (laughter).
CMP: You know, actually - -
CDR: - - Go ahead, Donn- -
CMP: - - We went through that loud phase of boost, you know, MAX Q, so fast, I'm not sure if - well, if I had it, but - -
CDR: - - Wait a second - -
UNKNOWN: - - could be much noise, you know.
LMP: Could you get it on the ... for me, Wally?
CDR: Yes, Walt.
LMP: You know, Wally, I don't remember that noise than at MAX Q being really any worse at Houston.
CDR: No, it wasn't bad.
LMP: It wasn't all that bad. How much did the a meter get to? I wasn't watching.
CMP: I don't really know.
UNKNOWN: Well, if you would quit showing off by float- ing around down there - - (laughter).
CDR: There _fou go, Dorm. It's going in now (laughter). Alright, ugh!
LMP: What the hell is making all the racket up here?
LMP: Wait a minute. Something went - -
CDR: Into the fan?
CDR: What was that?
LMP: Huh? Was I getting across the fan?
CDR: Something blew.
LMP: Is the fan stalled out?
CMP: No, it looks like one of those cords - it looks like one of those things floated into the back of the fan - -
LMP: It did.
CMP: - - and then came buck out (laughter). I got it.
CDR: Hey, what is that noise?
CMP: Maybe if I turn the fan OFF- -
CMP: Ready.
CDR: Stand by.
LMP: What's that?
CMP: That's the fan.
LMP: Turn the other one OFF, too.
CDR: What a nice roar.
LMP: Holy mackerel! If we ever get on the a_r, I'm going to turn those mothers OFF.
CMP: You want them back on?
CDR: No, no.
LMP: Well, - -
CDR: Those fans are so horrible (laughter).
CDR: Okay, let's get ready. We have got some stuff to do here.
LMP: Oi(ay, read it.
CMP: We're going to need another bag.
CMP: Okay, can you put this on, Walt, by yourself?
LMP: Yes, yes, Just give me a bag there.
CMP: I've got to fix the strap on this other one that came loose. Otherwise, I ...
LMP: Okay. around
CDR: Okay, ... we ought not to horse too long - -
LMP: No, we've got to get hot on this stuff.
CDR: - - with the cabin fan on there, because we do need to circulate the air.
LMP: No, we're circulating it Just by moving.
CMP: Okay, now, let's open the suit return air valves up, Wally. That will do it.
CDR: Let me get this rolling ...
CMP: What's that do?
CDR: Well, that cuts both you guys out of your suits, and we're still in the suit mode.
LMP: Let's get out of them,
LMP: Suit return air valve.
CMP: Okay, I've got to - a helmet stowage bag to go under the right seat, and when I go under there, I'm going to hand you the ORDEAL, Wally.
CDR: Are you? Hand me those whatchamahiekey bags.
UNKNOWN: The bags - Now, the one thing I haven't done yet is get the data file out for Walt. Day i 37
CDR: Do you want to do that now or do you want to hang on to your helmet?
CDR: You forgot n_f headrest.
LMP: If you get that now, then I can be stowing it over here while you are doing the onher.
LMP: Donn?
CDR: As long as you're taking that down - -
CMP: What do you want, Walt ...
CDR: ... we've got to do it some other way.
CDR: Man, I'm going to be ready for sunglasses pretty soon.
LMP: Yes, that is beautiful, isn't it?
CDR: Isn't this unreal though? (Laughter)
CDR: Wait _until about the eighth day.
CMP: I picked this box up, and I'd swear there is nothing in it, because it doesn't weigh any- thing.
CDR: That's funny! (Much laughter)
LMP: You're really sharp there! My God, ... Did you open it and look in it?
UNKNOWN: Yes, I did (laughter) as a matter of fact!
CDR: That's funny! Unreal!
UNKNOWN: _° I had one nightmare down there, you know, - you know - you have that CORD4 slJ de rule in your checklist?
UNKNOWN: Yes.
CMP: Oh, good, because I couldn't find. Apparently it slipped down the crack, and I could never our run systems data.
CDR: I better record what I've got on here. 01 plus 14 plus 50, oxidizer was 22.0 on A and B; fuel was 10.0, ranged from 8.0 to 10.0. That's S-IVB readouts.
LMP: Can you hang on to this with one hand for a second?
CMP: Man, that sun is brighter than hell.
CDR: Yes, that's why you need sunglasses - ...
CMP: I Just caught a corner of it in the eyeball.
CDR: Yes. It'11 hurt, too - -
CDR: You can get my headrest down and out of your way if you want.
CMP: Well, let me do this first because it's in my way when it's - well, I'11 be damned. Here's another one of these straps off. What did it go to?
LMP: Oh, I see why, Donn. No friction (laughter).
LMP: They Just float out (laughter). Here is another one coming out[
CDR: I guess there's Just no reason for them to stay there. All the filters go through the rings.
CMP: Wonder if somebody put them in wrong? ... You can't fix them. Great ....
LMP: This one's coming out too over here.
UNKNOWN: ... again. Oh, boy.
CMP: Well, once they are snapped to the wall, they're okay, but up to that point they are not too swift. That's interesting. We've got a stray strap around there some place.
CDR: It'11 come by in a minute (laughter).
LMP: Get it the next time around, will you?
CMP: I guess I'11 never live that down.
LMP: You know this is - not bad, really, you know. In Gemini you didn't get this marvelous opportunity to float around, did you?
CDR: Oh, this is wild, IVA, gang.
CMP: Hey, Wally, here is younr box.
LMP: Just what he always wanted.
CDR: I have one, too, huh?
CMP: Yes (laughter).
CMP: Anyone I know? (Laughter)
CMP: Will you take this hat?
LMP: Huh - take your hat? Helmet.
CMP: Yes, it's my hat ....
CMP: Just a second until I get over there ...
CMP: I'm going to close this box first. Walt, give me your ...
LMP: You won't need the sleep station out yet. You want your headrest dowu?
CDR: Yes, that's what's the matter.
LMP: If you'11 pull out those temporary stowage bags and hand them to me, I will hold onto them.
CMP: I think you are going to want the headrest dow/] up when you're sleeping there - -
CMP: Do you want to leave it where it is? Or fold it? pull
LMP: I think it makes more room to them down and get a traffic - I can come by under there down, when it is I think.
CMP: Come by where?
LMP: If you are down underneath, you can come up better with that thing down, I think.
CMP: Here is Walter Cunningham's checklist float- ing by Wally's knee (laughter).
CDR: By my knee.
LMP: I don't know how it got over there, but there it is (laughter).
CDR: Okay, I am going to go ahead and get ORDEAL out of the way.
CMP: Here's another one.
LMP: Okay, now- -
UNKNOWN: Walt?
CMP: Do we need anything out of here, like a hydrom- eter or anything like that?
LMP: Now, we've got to start right down that list which does include the c_aeras. Well, Wal]y's ... I
CMP: I know where the cameras are. I don't think any of them are under here.
CDR: No, but you got the - we want to get our Mae Wests off. GO/NO-GO
CMP: Did we get a report, Wally, REV by REV, huh?
CDR: Now, we're GO until we get a ...
CMP: I don't seem to have enough room to get under.
CMP: Hey, Walt, are my hoses caught on anything under here?
LMP: Let's see. No.
CMP: No? How come I can't get under this thing?
LMP: Well, are they the right length hoses?
CMP: Well, I hope so. They were the right length before. Well, I'm a son of a bitch, I can't get under here.
CMP: Look at that. I can't get to it!
CDR: (Laughter) We got a s.o.b, down there.
CMP: Okay, look, I'm going to undo the hoses, Wally, and I can put them right back on - -
CMP: - - Because otherwise, I can't reach the wall back here. I can with - I think the COMM cable will go back alright. I have enough of the C0MM cable, but I don't have enough hose.
LMP: Those people are going to go out of their gourd ...
CMP: Aren't they, though?
LMP: ... (Laughter)
LMP: Need any help?
CMP: I don't think so; it's Just been - getting a little warm. On the whole, it's a piece of cake. I am ws/_n in my suit.
CDR: You guys still have suit flows on, haven't you?
CMP: Okay, Walt, there is your helmet on the wall.
LMP: Okay, I've got a Mae West off, - put it down here.
CMP: It's easier in zero g, isn't it?
LMP: Yes, it is. 100 percent easier than it was. Get rid of that Mae West, you can move around a little.
LMP: Boy, that thing is already starting to shred.
CMP: In fact - -
LMP: Look at that. Look at how that Mae West is shredding - -
LMP: Here is that strap we were looking for (laught er).
CDR: Beautiful, beautiful.
LMP: You got it off that fast, Donn?
LMP: Aren't you glad we allowed double time for
LMP: Let's get all that garbage out of the way.
CMP: __ou see how bright it is in here - you'd never sleep.
LMP: Yes ... window shades.
CMP: Let's see. Walt, you want to hand me your - _ifevest. I think I can put _t in from right here.
CDR: You really don't need these headrests any- more _.. Kind of nice to have ...
CMP: Okay, Wally, you want to hand me your life- vest?
CDR: There you go.
LMP: ... until 8 o'clock, it's unreal. Have you noticed it?
CMP: Yes, I haven't even gotten mad yet.
LMP: You said one "s.o.b."
CMP: Well, that was Just - that was not said in anger - -
LMP: That was Just to warn up? (Laughter)
CMP: We don't need the hydrometer right new - is that correct?
LMP: No, we don't.
CMP: No point in getting it out.
CDR: ... Just go by the ...
LMP: Are you in any position to use the strap down there, Dorm, for the helmet bag?
CMP: Well, I am on the wrong side. That missing strap goe_ on yours. I can put it on _ f you want.
LMP: That's okay ...
CMP: Snap it to the wall, we can pull it down later. It'd be better. Can you reach the snap there, Wally?
CDR: Yes, I can reach it.
LMP: ...
CDR: Okay, let's cheek on the time. We're at 01:24. We should be over HUntsville. That's program 47. That's at 01:43, of course. We got 10 minutes for that.
CMP: We are still doing - reading the unstowage list, Wally, and get the details later.
CDR: Okay, we've got - -
CC: Apollo 7, Houston.
CDR: - - lifevest and a helmet.
LMP: Lockup at Huntsville.
CDR: Houston, Apollo 7. Go ahead.
CC: This is Houston through the Huntsville. How do you read? me?
CDR: Houston, Apollo 7-' Loud and clear. How
CDR: Maybe they don't.
CMP: Want the cameras now, you guys?
LMP: Might try S-band, but I - that's not locked up, huh?
UNKNOWN: Yes. Okay, go ahead.
CDR: Is it locked up nov?
LMP: No.
CDR: Here is what you want, Donn. Camera bracket on the left-hand side.
CC: Apollo 7, Houston. How do you read?

CDR: You got the helmet - camera bracket, you getting that?
LMP: You got that ... through?
CMP: Yes. I'm trying to figure out in this silly position where it goes.
CDR: The ORDEAL - you should see my ORDEAL - I got - that's not it - here ... the ORDEAL all over the place (laughter).
CDR: What else are you getting, Dorm?
CMP: I've got a Hasselblad coming.
CDR: Alrighto It's already got the film on it and--
CMP: ... the movies ...
CDR: Doesn't really matter who has it. Just get it out of the way.
CDR: There is nothing to take pictures of, frankly.
CDR: Okay, hold up a minute.
CDR: Houston, Apollo 7. How do you read?
CT: ... Houston, coming ...
CDR: Houston, Apollo 7. I read you loud and clear.
CT: ... copied you loud - - 7 copied you loud and cles_. Go ahead. We'11 relay.
CDR: Lockup S-baud.
CC: Roger, Apollo 7. This is Houston CAP COMM. Understand you are reading ... through Hunts- ville, the S-IVB tank pressures.
CDR: Wilco, Huntsville, Apollo 7. Tank pressures, I'11 give you present readings: 24 on A, 24 on B for oxidizers; fuel is lB on A, and 13 on B. Over.
LMP: Can't keep them in lock.
CMP: Yes, it keeps braking.
CT: We can only copy if - when we are in S-band lock. Still having trouble ...
CDR: You locked up?
LMP: Yes, I'11 tell you what I will do.
CDR: Huntsville, do you read Apollo 7 .-.?
LMP: - - I'11 switch VHF - -
LMP: I Just switched the VHF antennas.
CDR: Huntsville, do yogi read Apollo 7 now?
LMP: Houston, Apollo 7. Do you read?
CC: Roger, Apollo 7. Read you loud and clear. How us?
CDR: Okay, the readings are - 24, 24, 13, 13. _ Day 1 47
CC: Roger, 24 and 13.
CDR: That's affirm on both A and B, and I have it logged.
CDR: You're breaking up ...
CC: Roger, did you get the propellant readings while you were at Huntsville, Wally? m
CDR: I afraid so. [-_gt is that ...?
CC: Did you read the tank pressures and the pro- pellant program 47 prior to lockup?
CDR: Roger, we have that data. I have tank pres- sures logged for O1 plus 06 plus 15, O1 plus 14 plus 50, if you're ready to copy. (Laughter)
CDR: Okay, that's 23, 23, 8, and 8; that's O1 plus 06. O1 plus 14 plus 50 is 23, 23, 10, 10.
LMP: We've got a lock here.
CT: Apollo 7, Houston. You faded out completely. We'11 contact you over California in a couple of seconds.
CDR: Roger, data is logged.
CDR: Okay, let me set up this program - program 47 nO_ ...
LMP: Is it too early?
CDR: ... I'd wait until about 2 minutes ...
CDR: ... each other out, Walt, you might see a dump somewhere. I don't know why the hell it would go that way. It should go out that way.
CDR: ... C 'l l,!:il:::m t 4:lA:15 1 48
CDR: Jack, for the record our DELTA-V counter is at 33 feet per second.
CC: Okay, we got it all in the - that was the DELTA-V counter?
UNKNOWN: Okay, you going to write that down?
CDR: Okay, I will, Walt. I'm going to do it at 01:56.
CMP: I've got the optic feature installed ...
CMP: The optic operation _s no sweat at all - -
CDR: Is that right?
UNKNOWN: part that is a little disconcerting is that this Velcro isn't holding down to the floor very well.
CDR: I wondered about that.
CMP: I think it's because there's enough stiffness in these hoses - you see, I sort of want to float to the top of the spacecraft.
CC: Apollo 7, Houston, ... MILA reports your DSE voice quality on the dump was very good.
CMP: That's good -
CMP: Outstanding.
CDR: That really helps.
CDR: Yes, let's see, we should be on our way to the Canaries by now. Yes.
CDR: That's the Canaries. We're coming up on Africa, yes.
CDR: What's the ..., Walt?
CDR: Let me get some light out there for you.
CMP: Okay ... is correct ... B. Optic code has - _L Day 1 49
CMP: See that white cloud on ...?
CDR: It got up to 18. Out over the water, it went down to 14. Did you ever do that, Walt? 250, f:11 is the - -
UNKNOWN: Okay· Walt, you ready?
LMP: Well, okay, let it fly -
CDR: Okay, I want to give you a reading. Okay, 2 - 125, f:11.
CDR: What have you got now? 1007 That's good. Go.
CMP: Okay· here we come· I hope. We're turning. Boy, was that ever pretty! I never saw any- thing like it. If this thing pops off and the minute it got out to slmllght ... there's a whole bunch of little pieces and there's two little· two larger pieces or - well, guess that would be the two covers, sitting out there twirling around, still reflecting sun- light.
CDR: You see both of them?
CMP: Yes, I still see them -
CDR: Beautiful.
CMP: There must be something else that went by ... There's some light straying into the sextant. mlnute
CC: Apollo 7, Houston. You are 1 LOS Canary and we've computed a cabin leak rate. We find it to he one-half of set value.
CDR: Very good.
CMP: Man.
CDR: The optic covers are Jettisoned, and now we're tracking them. Dayi 50
LMP: It's crazy, I think - -
CC: Roger, real good.
CMP: - - I'm coming in a little bit with the star sight, but they're so damn bright that they tend to obliterate the stars. Well, that's funny.
CDR: Well, the sun shoaldn't be there (laughter).
CMP: That's true, but I think I c_l see some stars out there.
CDR: Now?
CMP: Yes, I wouldn't be - I wouldn't want to guarantee what they are, but I can see some- thing - -
CDR: That's good with the - -
CMP: Well, I'm not sure really whether they're stars or Just little light specks in the glass. It could be little -
CDR: I'm sure it was not unusua]. Night is about 02:07. We're only 8 minutes away, Walt.
