when you put it this way trajectory may be off the thrusters may be frozen their
guidance system might be malfunctioning their heat shield could be cracked and
their parish links might be three blocks of ice
clearly rest not supposed to overcome okay but now I'm asking you when we got
last for three minutes they're not back in for woman velocity now reading thirty
four thousand eight hundred and two feet per second range to go copy that
okay can we are aligned for reentry's Jim we're gonna need that computer
re-entry program Fred how the batteries looking okay that a looks good
no volt the apps are okay that's the shit no volts only two amps they die
before the main chutes open Roger let's tie all the batteries on a main and
maybe like they're still shelling a bit up there do you want to tell him I think
we could do about it and they don't need to know do they yeah parachute situation
the heat shield the angle the trajectory of the typhoon is just one variable
someone I know all problems are be the worst disaster nASA has ever experienced
with all due respect sir I believe this is going to be our finest hour
expect entry interface in 45 seconds and on my mark your velocity will be
35,000 245 feet per second marked 35 seconds to entry interface
gentlemen it's been a privilege flying with you
blimey I'm lost radio contact Roger that expect to regain signal in three minutes
one minute and 30 seconds to end of blackened dough reenter each ship has

intense heat of reentry

astronauts were expected to come out of blackout come and gone but all anybody
could do now is listen and hope about to learn whether or not that heat shield
which was damaged as you remember by the explosion three days ago as we stood the
infernal of reentry ozzie this is Houston do you baby
