Roger, Apollo 9. We'll pass that along.
:42:03
Oh, well. In a few minutes,
even I would be smiling.

:42:09
You look like you're feeling better.
:42:12
I am. I feel good.
:42:15
How good?
:42:18
Real good.
:42:20
Then what do you say you go outside?
:42:24
I think that's a good idea.
:42:28
- Yeah, Gumdrop, this is Spider.
- Roger, Spider.

:42:31
Yeah, Dave. Rusty's feeling
a lot better, and he looks better too.

:42:35
I thought maybe he should go out
on the porch and get some fresh air.

:42:39
Hey, man! I like the sound of that.
:42:49
For 45 minutes
every available camera on Apollo 9...

:42:51
was put to use filming the first two-man
space walk in history.

:42:57
While Rusty stood
on LEM 3's porch...

:42:59
Dave stood in the open hatch
of the command module...

:43:01
to film Rusty's test of the backpack.
:43:13
When one of Dave's cameras broke...
:43:16
he went back inside to fix it.
:43:21
That gave Rusty something
unheard of on an E.V. A: Free time.

:43:27
For three minutes there was nothing
for him to do but look at the Earth.
