At last report, astro-janitor Fleming
is enjoying a hearty meal...
1:30:26
while orbiting the earth
at 17,000 miles an hour.
1:30:29
Chew each bite
28 times, dear.
1:30:41
I'm getting a red on
the flight programming computer.
1:30:43
No!
Check that again.
1:30:45
No, still getting a red.
1:30:48
Control to Eclipse. Roy, we're
getting a minor malfunction...
1:30:51
on your flight programming
computer tape.
1:30:53
Will you check it, please? It's
above your head to the right.
1:30:57
We're full of it here.
It's a mess.
1:30:59
Roy...
1:31:01
can you very carefully put
that tape back on those reels?
1:31:05
Well, I'll try.
1:31:10
Is it all right if I don't
finish the crackers?
1:31:13
It has been confirmed
the Eclipse is in trouble.
1:31:18
The difficulty lies in the programming
computer, which is similar to a tape recorder.
1:31:22
This tape carries the impulses which tell
the Eclipse what to do and when to do it.
1:31:27
In other words, the mechanical
brain of the capsule.
1:31:30
Without it, astro-janitor Roy Fleming
may be doomed to stay forever in orbit.
1:31:40
How are you doing, Roy? Got that tape
back on the reels? I'm workin' on it.
1:31:45
If anything happens to that
boy, I'll never forgive myself.
1:31:48
This emergency is being handled
with great courage by Fleming.
1:31:51
This young man,
never before in space...
1:31:54
is calmly rewinding the computer
tape by hand. Buck Fleming's boy.
1:31:58
No.
