1:58:01
Clearly, we have
some obstacles to overcome.
1:58:03
Yeah, okay, but now I'm asking you,
when will we know?
1:58:06
Well, blackout lasts
for three minutes.
1:58:08
If they're not back
in four, we'll know.
1:58:13
Velocity now reading
34,802 feet per second.
1:58:17
'- Range to go 2,625 nautical miles.
'- Copy that.
1:58:20
Okay, Ken,
we are aligned for reentry.
1:58:23
Jim, we're going to need
that computer reentry program.
1:58:25
'- Fred, how are the batteries looking?
'- Okay. Batt A looks good.
1:58:30
Reentry interface in one minute...
1:58:32
'- Batt B, no volts, the amps are okay.
'- and 30 seconds.
1:58:36
Batt C...
1:58:38
shit, no volts, only two amps.
1:58:41
It may die before
the main chutes open.
1:58:44
Roger. Let's tie all the batteries
onto main A and main B.
1:58:47
Flight, they're still shallowing a bit
up there. Do you want to tell 'em?
1:58:50
'- Is there anything we can do about it?
'- Not now, Flight.
1:58:54
'- Then they don't need to know, do they?
'- Copy that.
1:58:57
RETRO says the typhoon is still
a presence in the splashdown area?
1:58:59
'- Yeah.
'- We got the parachute situation,
1:59:03
the heat shield, the angle
of trajectory and the typhoon.
1:59:05
There's so many variables,
I'm a little at a loss'-'-
1:59:08
I know what the problems are.
1:59:09
This could be the worst disaster
NASA's ever experienced.
1:59:12
With all due respect, sir, I believe
this is going to be our finest hour.
1:59:17
Okay.
1:59:28
Expect entry interface
in 45 seconds.
1:59:32
And on my mark, your velocity...
1:59:35
will be 35,245 feet per second.
1:59:39
Mark 35 seconds
to entry interface.
1:59:45
Gentlemen...
1:59:49
it's been a privilege
flying with you.
