[ 01 49 03  ][10]
![][11] Canary CapCom
: 

[_Molly Brown_][12], Canary CAP COM. 

[ 01 49 04  ][13]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

It looks like it's something on the side. I don't know what it is. 

[ 01 49 10  ][16]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Canaries, Molly. Go ahead. 

[ 01 49 13  ][17]
![][11] Canary CapCom
: 

Roger. We have systems GO on the ground. 

[ 01 49 16  ][18]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Roger. We are GO in here. We are finishing our Alinement Check. 

[ 01 49 26  ][19]
![][11] Canary CapCom
: 

Roger. Understand, and Canaries transmitting a calibrate command. 

[ 01 49 31  ][20]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

What was that? 

[ 01 49 33  ][21]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

Transmit my T/M cal. 

[ 01 49 35  ][24]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Okay. It's coming. 

[ 01 49 47  ][25]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

What was the time we could see that booster? 

[ 01 49 50  ][26]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

2 08 52. 

[ 01 49 53  ][27]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Elapsed? 

[ 01 49 54  ][28]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

Yes. 

[ 01 49 57  ][29]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

Okay. Tell them we're sending them a T/M 2 cal. 

[ 01 50 04  ][30]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

A T/M 2 cal is coming. 

[ 01 50 07  ][31]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

I don't see where it says for us to do that, but I guess that's all right. I think we should have done it on the first pass. 

[ 01 50 24  ][32]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

One of these pills came off. 

[ 01 50 27  ][33]
![][11] Canary CapCom
: 

[_Molly Brown_][12], Canary CAP COM. 

[ 01 50 30  ][34]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Go, Canaries. 

[ 01 50 32  ][35]
![][11] Canary CapCom
: 

Roger. After your burn your orbit is 85.6, 92.6. 

[ 01 50 38  ][36]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Roger. 85.6, 92.6. 

[ 01 50 41  ][37]
![][11] Canary CapCom
: 

And I have a Two-Bravo time. 

[ 01 50 46  ][38]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

I thought they weren't going to give those times to us. 

[ 01 50 49  ][39]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Stand by. 

[ 01 51 06  ][40]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

If either one of these things leaks, we can just close up shop. 

[ 01 51 15  ][41]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Okay. What's the Two-Bravo time? 

[ 01 51 18  ][42]
![][11] Canary CapCom
: 

Roger. ΔV90. GMTRC 16 52 25. GETRC 02 28 35. Roll left 55. 

[ 01 51 45  ][43]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Roger. Two-Bravo: 90 ΔV. 16 52 25 GMTRC. Elapsed time of 02 28 25. Roll left 55. 

[ 01 51 55  ][44]
![][11] Canary CapCom
: 

That's affirm. 

[ 01 52 26  ][45]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

__Key moment_ The first corned beef sandwich in space: _ What is it? 

[ 01 52 27  ][46]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

Corn beef sandwich. 

[ 01 52 28  ][47]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Where did that come from? 

[ 01 52 30  ][48]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

I brought it with me. Let's see how it tastes. Smells, doesn't it? 

[ 01 52 41  ][49]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Yes, it's breaking up. I'm going to stick it in my pocket. 

[ 01 52 43  ][50]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

Is it? 

[ 01 52 49  ][51]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

It was a thought, anyways. 

[ 01 52 51  ][52]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Yep. 

[ 01 52 52  ][53]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

Not a very good one. 

[ 01 52 54  ][54]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Pretty good, though, if it would just hold together. 

[ 01 53 13  ][55]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

Want some chicken leg? 

[ 01 53 15  ][56]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

No, you can handle that. 

[ 01 53 23  ][57]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

What was the time of that booster again? What elevation? 

[ 01 53 26  ][58]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

02 08 52. 18° el. 

[ 01 53 30  ][59]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

02 — 

[ 01 53 32  ][60]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

2 hours, 8 minutes, 52 seconds. 18° el. 

[ 01 53 39  ][61]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Above? They didn't give us the mileage, huh? 

[ 01 53 43  ][62]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

19 miles. 

[ 01 53 45  ][63]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

Dead ahead. 

[ 01 53 46  ][64]
[ ![][22] John Young ][23]
: 

Yeah. 

[ 01 53 55  ][65]
[ ![][14] Gus Grissom ][15]
: 

We're alined just about perfect. What do you think, looking out your window?
