We are preparing to throttle up
the descent engine.

:45:03
Roger, Spider.
:45:05
Then it was time to see if the decision
I had made just before the launch...

:45:09
was the right one.
:45:16
The tank'll be fine.
:45:18
It'll hold.
:45:24
Throttle to 20 percent.
:45:33
It's a little rough.
:45:36
Yeah, wasn't it?
I think we swallowed a little helium.

:45:40
Yeah, let's try it again.
:45:44
Throttle to 40 percent.
:45:52
Houston, Spider.
:45:54
Everything looks good here.
:45:57
It was a good burn.
:46:07
Hey, keep track of us,
will you, Davey?

:46:09
Roger that. See you in a while.

Nine feet per second.
I have the interconnects.

:46:35
Five, four, three...
:46:38
two, one, we have shutdown.
:46:41
Roger. We have a good burn.
No residuals.

:46:46
And there goes half our spacecraft.
