00:06:04 - The tower has jettisoned.
00:06:08 Roger, trajectory and guidance a go.
00:06:27 - Spacecraft systems are a go.
00:06:29 - All spacecraft systems are go.
00:06:34 - We have CECO.
00:07:26 Hey, it looks like a fine day
00:07:30 I can see all the way
00:07:34 Coming up on the terminator, should
00:07:46 - Loss of signal with Canary.
00:07:49 Okay time to activate TV transmission.
00:07:52 We remote to Houston through
00:07:55 Araya One, this is Ironman, how do
00:07:58 Ironman One, Araya. I read you
00:08:01 I read you the same.
00:08:03 On my mark, TV transmission
00:08:07 - Mark.
00:08:13 - How are you getting this?
00:08:21 Clearing up now.
00:08:25 Clear now. Good picture.
00:08:27 Well, say something, Ted.
00:08:31 Ironman, this is Houston.
00:08:36 - How about the other camera, Jim?
00:08:44 Mark.
00:08:46 You should be getting me now.
00:08:50 Here's Buzz.
00:08:55 Here's Stoney.
00:08:59 - How's it look?
00:09:02 How are you for docking
00:09:04 Docking is still planned
00:09:09 Roger. We have an update
00:09:12 Delta V, 249 at.3 feet per second.
00:09:15 This is mission control, Houston...
00:09:17 ...at 22 minutes into the flight
00:09:20 After a brief 20-minute flight
00:09:23 ...the spacecraft is now
00:09:27 We begin to look at the
00:09:29 ...which shows
00:09:32 ...with the Saturn 4B
00:10:15 Buzz, what's our closing rate?
00:10:19 - Closing rate: 50 feet per second.
00:10:22 - Let me know when we have 25.
00:11:04 This is mission control, Houston.
00:11:06 Commander Pruett reported
00:11:09 ...at the S- 4B laboratory.
00:11:11 After completing systems checks,
00:11:15 ... in which they will live and work
00:11:18 This will be a test of the spacecraft,
00:11:22 In preparation for interplanetary
00:11:25 ... which are now being planned.
00:11:27 During this entire period the
00:11:30 ... with TV cameras, which will be
00:11:34 ... for study and evaluation.
00:12:14 Well, it's not too bad. We could use
00:12:18 I think we're missing the view.
00:12:21 What's first, Buzz?
00:12:24 Extra vehicular activities
00:12:27 You take it out.
00:14:01 Watch it, Stoney.
00:14:14 Try a little aerobatics here.
00:14:18 Here goes.
00:15:02 Buzz, how about some work?
00:15:05 Yeah, right.
00:15:09 I'm coming right down.
00:15:12 Okay, Buzz,
00:15:15 - Say again, Stoney.
00:15:18 Roger, micrometeorite.
00:15:28 This material was obtained
00:15:32 I am presenting it
00:15:35 Here is Pruett.
00:15:38 Lloyd.
00:15:41 Stone.
00:15:43 We got this day before yesterday.
00:15:50 It demonstrates a serious decline
00:15:53 ...even simple manual tasks.
00:15:56 Just over five months of the mission
00:16:01 We wonder if it remains desirable to
00:16:04 ...originally planned.
00:16:12 - What are your parameters, Courtney?
00:16:17 - EEG, brain.
00:16:21 The trend shows definite fatigue.
00:16:24 - Is he still losing weight?
00:16:28 The quality of the solar spectral film's
00:16:32 - Well, you're not gonna see any more.
00:16:37 Take a look at this.
00:16:52 Tired and he's making mistakes.
00:16:54 You want to try living in a tin can
00:16:59 - What else?
00:17:05 Some further degradations
00:17:09 We've lost a backup coolant
00:17:16 Oh, yeah.
00:17:19 I was doing some preventative
00:17:23 I also discovered some computation
00:17:27 I guess that accounts for the poor
00:17:36 I...
00:17:41 I've fixed the razor.
00:17:48 So we can go back to shaving
00:17:52 And I'm sleeping better.
00:17:58 I guess we're all getting
00:18:03 And if the hardware holds up, I guess
00:18:08 I know I can.
00:18:11 I think they've done a hell of a job.
00:18:17 Bring them down.
00:18:19 Yes, sir.
00:18:22 Mrs. Wheeler, get everyone on the net
00:18:49 This is mission control, Houston.
00:18:52 The crew of Ironman One has closed
00:18:56 ...in which they've worked, lived, slept
00:19:01 Their Apollo spacecraft
00:19:04 ...and at this time, the automatic
00:19:08 Ten, nine, eight...
00:19:10 ...seven, six, five, four...
00:19:14 ...three, two, one, retrofire.
00:19:19 The spacecraft should be
00:19:22 ...towards the splash point
00:19:25 ...some 400 miles
00:19:28 They are waiting now for confirmation
00:19:32 Ironman One, Ironman One, this is
00:19:40 Ironman One, Ironman One, this is
00:19:46 After five months in orbit,
00:19:48 ...a successful prelude
00:19:52 ...that some day will be normal
00:19:54 ...astronauts Jim Pruett, Buzz Lloyd
00:19:57 ...should be on their fiery way home
00:20:00 Ironman One, Ironman One, this is
00:20:05 Ironman One, Ironman One, this
00:20:11 Ironman One, Ironman One,
00:20:14 Do you read?
00:20:17 Ironman One, Ironman One,
00:20:20 Do you read?
00:20:24 Ironman One, Ironman One, this
00:20:27 - Do you read?
00:20:30 Hey, you old bum. How's the run?
00:20:32 We have negative retrofire.
00:20:37 Say again, Ironman.
00:20:39 Negative, no burn.
00:20:42 Bailey, kill it.
00:20:44 - Ironman, wait one.
00:20:47 Don't know.
00:20:50 E-COM, GNC,
00:20:53 A minute and 20 seconds
00:20:55 Ironman, Flight. Would you check
00:20:58 ... and also your Delta V thrust
00:21:01 Roger.
00:21:03 Glenn, would you punch up
00:21:07 - All parameters are normal.
00:21:11 - Houston, Ironman.
00:21:14 Circuit breakers are closed,
00:21:18 Delta V manual A and B switches
00:21:22 Thank you.
00:21:24 Suggest you try manual re-entry
00:21:27 Roger, understand manual re-entry
00:21:31 Negative, Jim. Negative.
00:21:34 We suggest you use
00:21:41 - We just told them it didn't work.
00:21:43 ...we prefer using
00:21:50 I'm afraid you don't have
00:21:53 - Say again?
00:21:58 What about the lab?
00:22:00 Houston, do we have enough fuel
00:22:05 Negative, Ironman. Negative.
00:22:08 - Well, what do you propose, Ted?
00:22:13 You're going to have to try retrofire
00:22:19 Smart boys think your automatic
00:22:21 ...but you'll be able to get ignition...
00:22:23 ...from your primary engine
00:22:28 In other words, kick the box, Jimmy.
00:22:31 - Do you copy, Ironman ?
00:22:36 - Mr. Keith, BAO.
00:22:40 We should say something, sir.
00:22:43 All right. Just keep it trivial.
00:22:45 - We may not have a problem.
00:22:49 This is mission control, Houston.
00:22:51 We received word from Ironman
00:22:54 ...that has prevented retrofire
00:22:57 They'll bypass the switch. At their
00:23:06 This is Canon in Houston.
00:23:07 - Yeah, Canon?
00:23:09 - Hold on a second.
00:23:12 - Go ahead.
00:23:14 ...did not fire on first pass.
00:23:15 The secondary thrusters are out.
00:23:19 If that big baby doesn't fire this time,
00:23:23 Motor, pitch two and yaw two
00:23:26 Pitch two and yaw two start, on.
00:23:28 - One minute to burn.
00:23:31 Translation hand controller, neutral.
00:23:34 - Hand controller neutral.
00:23:38 - On.
00:23:42 - Direct RCS.
00:23:46 - A and B normal.
00:23:49 - Thirty seconds.
00:23:53 - Hand controller armed.
00:23:55 EMS Delta V, auto.
00:23:59 - Delta V, auto.
00:24:02 - Roger, 15 seconds.
00:24:05 All right, you bastard,
00:24:08 Ten, nine, eight, seven, six...
00:24:12 ... five, four, three, two, one, retrofire.
00:24:21 Direct Delta V switch.
00:24:30 Ironman, this is Houston. Ironman,
00:24:33 - Go, Houston.
00:24:37 - Negative.
00:24:39 I said, we had negative retrofire.
00:24:43 Ironman, this is Keith, do you get any
00:24:47 Boss, we got a little light here
00:24:51 It's green. We're gonna decorate it
00:24:55 All right, Ironman,
00:24:57 Roger.
00:24:59 Cabin pressurization on.
00:25:02 We'll be back in a couple of hours.
00:25:05 - Roger.
00:25:09 We'll be here.
00:25:23 I want a complete tape dump from
00:25:28 And I want it in strip charts.
00:25:30 Call Sacco, tell him to put an engine
00:25:32 Feed it all the TM we've got
00:25:35 Hard copies of everything
00:25:38 Yes, sir.
00:25:41 Mr. Keith?
00:25:45 - Forgot all about them.
00:25:49 - Ben, take this.
00:26:12 No retrofire.
00:26:17 They're still up there.
00:26:22 It'll take a little time
00:26:30 Well, I guess it's time to go home and
00:26:36 Do you need a lift?
00:26:38 - Did you talk to them?
00:26:42 They're fine.
00:26:51 For how long?
00:26:54 - Well, we'll be in touch, Mrs. Stone.
00:26:58 I'd also like to know
00:27:02 Teresa, Celia and I have been
00:27:06 We learned the best thing is for us
00:27:10 And let the men get on with their jobs.
00:27:14 - Right, Celia?
00:27:20 It's been 15 years.
00:27:31 Morning, ladies and gentlemen.
00:27:34 - Dr. Keith, are you...?
00:27:36 - Are you on your way to Washington?
00:27:38 - Spoken to the White House yet?
00:27:43 Tell me, sir, who's responsible
00:27:45 - Oh, I'm the responsible officer.
00:27:50 No, but I would like to say that
00:27:53 ...are trying to isolate and correct
00:27:56 Every resource of the NASA
00:27:59 ...is being used to the fullest.
00:28:03 - Mr. Canon.
00:28:06 - The spacecraft is still in orbit, right?
00:28:09 Going around the world
00:28:11 That's right, Mr. Canon.
00:28:12 How much oxygen does the crew have
00:28:15 They're in no immediate danger.
00:28:17 - There's a rumor the men are dead.
00:28:21 Mr. Henry?
00:28:23 What happens if you can't
00:28:25 We're prepared for every contingency,
00:28:30 What happens if you can't
00:28:33 Does the spacecraft continue
00:28:35 ...until orbital decay slows it down
00:28:38 ...for it to re-enter the atmosphere?
00:28:39 If so, does the spacecraft and
00:28:43 ...is that right?
00:28:46 How long before that happens,
00:28:49 Seven years.
00:28:53 Have you given up hope, Mr. Keith?
00:28:55 Certainly not, Mr. Canon.
00:28:58 If you'll excuse me now, please.
00:29:20 Strawberry cereal cubes.
00:29:24 Soup, corn, cream.
00:29:28 Jim, why are we just lying here
00:29:31 For Ground to analyze
00:29:34 So some smart-ass engineer
00:29:38 Why not go EVA?
00:29:41 Maybe one of the fuel valves is frozen.
00:29:45 No, Ground could tell that.
00:29:48 Maybe we took a meteor strike. Maybe
00:29:54 Just relax.
00:30:02 What are you looking at, Stoney?
00:30:08 A disturbance in the inner-tropical
00:30:11 Somebody's gonna have a hurricane.
00:30:16 - Where's the center, Stoney?
00:30:21 Yeah, nice thick clouds,
00:30:26 Looks like clouding circulation's
00:30:29 She's gonna be a big beast.
00:30:34 Alma, first of the season.
00:30:50 Houston, this is Simulator.
00:30:52 We have on the stand SPS
00:30:56 This unit is an exact
00:30:59 ... of the primary equipment
00:31:02 We have analyzed
00:31:04 And we're attempting
00:31:06 ... which will reproduce the conditions
00:31:11 Three, two, one.
00:31:16 Firing the engine.
00:31:18 I say, apparently we have failed
00:31:21 But we'll keep working on it.
00:31:28 All right, the president's waiting
00:31:29 All right, the president's waiting
00:31:31 One, a statement to be issued at the
00:31:35 "Every effort is being made
00:31:37 ...and correct
00:31:40 ...in accordance
00:31:42 ...designed to meet
00:31:45 Two, a report to be issued
00:31:48 ...by the director
00:31:51 Emphasizing the high degree of safety
00:31:57 The accident will be compared to
00:32:02 It'll be noted that in the development
00:32:05 ...a 10 percent pilot loss
00:32:10 Now, Wednesday morning,
00:32:13 ...the president will issue
00:32:17 Emphasizing the courage
00:32:22 And their final wish, that the program
00:32:32 Discussion?
00:32:36 Yeah, I have something.
00:32:40 I want to talk about a rescue mission.
00:32:43 I'm speaking for the pilots
00:32:47 We propose launching a rescue craft
00:32:51 Rendezvous with Ironman,
00:32:54 Dougherty, you haven't
00:32:56 Courtney, will you repeat
00:32:58 ...on oxygen consumption
00:33:00 As of now, they're going to live
00:33:03 Plus or minus two percent. Now, that
00:33:08 There's a launch window for a shot
00:33:12 Nothing to put in that window.
00:33:14 An Air Force Titan 3C left Denver
00:33:18 Oh, actually it was already in the pipe.
00:33:20 And also the XRV lifting body
00:33:22 Can you get the Titan
00:33:25 ...on the pad ready to go in 42 hours?
00:33:29 A non-man-rated booster
00:33:32 Oh, it'll fly all right, and Dougherty
00:33:38 Proposal is rejected.
00:33:41 Anything else?
00:33:45 Yeah, what do I tell the pilots?
00:33:47 Tell them that the request is outside
00:33:51 - We've got three men dying.
00:33:54 If they were here they'd say,
00:33:57 Get on with the next mission."
00:33:58 I don't give a damn
00:34:00 There's no room in this program
00:34:03 ...who cannot look
00:34:06 Then you fire me.
00:34:10 You want to launch a rescue mission
00:34:13 All right.
00:34:15 One: Assemble and check out booster
00:34:21 How long, on past performance?
00:34:23 Well, on past performance, 12 days,
00:34:26 Twelve days.
00:34:27 Two: Build up and strap on
00:34:32 - Four days, but we can...
00:34:34 Check launch weather for Monday
00:34:37 600 miles off the coast
00:34:40 Well, you're in luck. Three: Make
00:34:43 ...and check out configuration.
00:34:46 - Bob?
00:34:48 ...to determine the minimum time...
00:34:52 Four: Compute navigation
00:34:55 ...for first apogee rendezvous,
00:35:01 ...three weeks.
00:35:03 - We'll go without a checkup.
00:35:06 ...which has not been man-rated,
00:35:10 ...and which has not been modified
00:35:13 How about that one?
00:35:16 They'll do it in 42 hours.
00:35:20 While you're assembling
00:35:23 ...and spending...
00:35:26 - Fifty million.
00:35:27 Plus how many deaths?
00:35:31 - Jimmy?
00:35:35 ...in which all nominal safety factors
00:35:38 ...I calculate.02 percent
00:35:42 How the hell do you know
00:35:44 Think we haven't considered rescue?
00:35:46 Rescue and every other contingency.
00:35:49 Reduced to digitals
00:35:53 You helped to write it.
00:35:55 - A rational approach.
00:35:59 Three of your pilots are in trouble.
00:36:01 And if you don't try to get them down,
00:36:05 Well, you have feelings. Good.
00:36:08 That's why we live by the rules.
00:36:13 Wheeler. Courtney.
00:36:16 Fisher. Klein.
00:36:19 Degrote.
00:36:21 Those men up there
00:36:23 Can you launch a rescue mission
00:36:35 - Yeah, all right.
00:36:39 - We're ready at this end.
00:36:42 - ... at 7:00 our time.
00:36:46 The president will take the call
00:36:51 That leaves us an hour
00:37:53 - Your license, please...
00:37:56 - I'm in a hurry.
00:37:58 Here's security, Q clearance,
00:38:02 You've got a lot on your mind,
00:38:05 - You forget where you are and wham.
00:38:08 Shut off your engine.
00:38:10 I'm Charles Keith, head
00:38:12 I know who you are.
00:38:14 BS G-2896553, another code three,
00:38:19 You have no brake lights.
00:38:23 You may get to the moon,
00:38:25 - Are you Charles Raymond Keith?
00:38:27 Somebody named Olympus
00:38:36 Can you patch me into command
00:38:41 Keith, where are you?
00:38:43 Mr. President, I have a sort of
00:38:47 What do you have for me?
00:38:49 Well, we're analyzing
00:38:51 We've got a contractor
00:38:54 ...in a failure mode,
00:38:58 ...of all the hardware
00:39:00 What else can you do
00:39:03 I don't think there's anything else.
00:39:05 Have you fellas considered rescue?
00:39:08 Yes, we've discussed it, of course.
00:39:10 What do you think?
00:39:13 Well, sir, it's a very,
00:39:19 Charles, can I talk to you as a friend?
00:39:22 Well, yes, sir, of course.
00:39:23 You're right,
00:39:26 But if we do it your way, 200 million
00:39:30 Well, Mr. President, it's not my way.
00:39:34 ...and there are certain facts
00:39:38 Charles, just put away your slide rule
00:39:41 There's more going on here
00:39:43 The world is watching us
00:39:46 ... about rescuing these men.
00:39:47 To say that there's nothing
00:39:50 ... is going to be disaster for me,
00:39:54 We have to take a crack at it
00:39:58 Now, what do you say, Charles?
00:40:03 Mr. President, it'll be a dangerous
00:40:09 You let me know how you're
00:40:12 Whatever you want, you've got it.
00:40:23 - confirmed tonight that
00:40:26 ... leaving America's three astronauts
00:40:29 ... some 285 miles above the Earth,
00:40:34 They are now approaching
00:40:36 No word has been issued
00:40:40 ... beyond the statement made by
00:40:44 ... held this morning in...
00:40:45 - that contingency plans
00:40:48 ... to meet every conceivable
00:40:50 It has been reported from
00:40:53 ... that the three astronauts are...
00:41:05 Okay, Buzz, you're right.
00:41:08 To hell with waiting for a bunch
00:41:12 We used to fix the airplanes we flew
00:41:15 Let's get into our hard suits
00:41:17 - Okay, Jimmy.
00:41:20 Yeah, go.
00:41:23 - Ironman One this is Houston Flight.
00:41:26 We're coming up to get you, Ironman.
00:41:29 Say again.
00:41:31 We're coming to get you.
00:41:32 We're launching a rescue mission
00:41:35 We're using a Titan 3C with an XRV
00:41:40 The pilot is Ted Dougherty.
00:41:44 Do you read, Ironman ?
00:41:46 Yeah, yeah, we read you.
00:41:49 Houston, when do you estimate
00:41:51 Just over 40 hours, Stoney.
00:41:54 Forty hours? Who are they kidding?
00:41:59 Do you read, Ironman?
00:42:03 We've decided to make
00:42:05 Go EVA and eyeball the engines.
00:42:09 We'll pull the insulating hatches.
00:42:12 ... we'll get in the sun
00:42:15 That's an interesting thought,
00:42:18 ... of that here or anything else
00:42:21 We're all agreed
00:42:24 We're agreed we have to take
00:42:28 Ironman, stand by one.
00:42:31 Tell them negative, Jimmy, negative.
00:42:34 Jim, we appreciate your desire
00:42:37 ... and we need your affirmative action
00:42:42 The most critical factor
00:42:45 To get 15 minutes of activity
00:42:49 ... to eyeball the engine,
00:42:52 ... three or four hours
00:42:55 From where we sit you don't have
00:42:59 Therefore, we'd like to suggest
00:43:04 ... lower your oxygen pressure to 3.5...
00:43:09 ... execute a full emergency
00:43:11 ...and take your pills.
00:43:13 They want us to buy it
00:43:19 Do you copy, Ironman?
00:43:22 Yeah. We're thinking about it.
00:43:26 Tell them negative, Jim, negative.
00:43:32 Pruett, now, this is Keith.
00:43:35 I'm down here at the Cape
00:43:37 ...and we're getting this rescue shot
00:43:40 Don't do anything foolish.
00:43:42 Don't climb into your hard suits.
00:43:45 ...and don't try to fix the engine.
00:43:47 Just take your pills and go to sleep.
00:43:51 Can you get us down, boss?
00:43:52 We've got a better chance
00:43:55 - We'll be back at you.
00:43:57 Yeah, he's lying.
00:43:59 Buzz, you eat up 25 percent more
00:44:08 Houston, Ironman, preparing
00:44:13 Roger, Ironman.
00:44:16 What are the numbers, Stoney?
00:44:20 Well, with nominal oxygen usage,
00:44:25 Take out the pad, 40 hours,
00:44:32 How you figuring the residual
00:44:35 How would you?
00:44:38 Yeah, you'd have to breathe
00:44:43 No one's ever done that.
00:44:46 Yeah, well, I got the feeling
00:45:18 Royce Fitzgerald, call 10-993.
00:45:32 Resume count-off,
00:45:36 Mark.
00:46:00 Pull the GNN circuit breakers
00:46:03 Circuit breakers off.
00:46:06 Shut down the attitude
00:46:09 SCS secured.
00:46:11 Shut down number two
00:46:13 We'll leave one on the line in
00:46:16 Two and three off.
00:46:18 No, we'll leave it on.
00:46:19 Flood lights off.
00:46:24 EL off.
00:46:27 Buzz, are the lower equipment
00:46:30 The B lights are off.
00:46:34 Then why isn't that off?
00:46:37 I don't know why.
00:46:42 Houston, Ironman.
00:46:44 - We're cranked down.
00:46:48 We'll check in when you come
00:46:51 We're gonna keep you informed
00:46:54 Get some sleep now.
00:46:55 - In a while.
00:46:58 I want you to take one tablet
00:47:01 ... and one when you
00:47:03 You can drink as much water
00:47:05 Every word, every emotion
00:47:07 ... so the more relaxed you are,
00:47:10 All right, you bums,
00:47:14 Hey! Hello, big brother.
00:47:16 - Hey, Ted.
00:47:18 Hey, where are you?
00:47:21 Well, I'm in Huntsville,
00:47:25 Say again?
00:47:26 A simulator to the XRV.
00:47:27 I'm gonna do a little pressure
00:47:31 This is a great time to start learning
00:47:33 All you guys gotta worry about is
00:47:37 ...after I make the transfer.
00:47:39 Go on, pick your spot.
00:47:40 Edwards, Vegas,
00:47:43 Why not?
00:47:44 All right, take your pills, go to sleep
00:47:48 I'll see you in 39 hours
00:48:41 Simulation will begin in 10 minutes.
00:48:43 Maintain RF silence
00:48:48 How does it look to you?
00:48:49 The XRV will leave in two hours,
00:48:52 That gives you nine hours.
00:48:55 We've got eight separate systems
00:48:58 - I don't know how to do it any faster...
00:49:16 That's how you're gonna do it.
00:49:20 Colonel, you've got automatic backups
00:49:23 Now you're gonna find out
00:49:45 Range 6-5, range 2-4.
00:49:49 A little under.
00:49:52 Three-point-four second vert.
00:49:54 Range 6-3, range 2- 1.
00:49:56 Missed his target by 20 miles.
00:49:58 Col. Dougherty, you've overshot.
00:50:03 Yeah, I know.
00:50:07 Is it possible to break down
00:50:11 ... to repeat DPI to rendezvous?
00:50:14 No, we don't have the time
00:50:17 Okay.
00:50:19 Can we recycle fast time
00:50:22 ... and real time from then?
00:50:24 Okay, will do.
00:50:33 All right, let's go again.
00:50:37 The tape is ready.
00:50:39 On my mark, first Delta V burn.
00:50:42 Three, two, one, ignition.
00:50:46 Roger, I have ignition.
00:50:49 Timer on and counting.
00:51:34 We have a new APT,
00:51:43 - It's turned.
00:51:46 How soon will it get here?
00:51:48 What do you think?
00:51:50 Eight hours, major.
00:51:51 Seven, maybe eight.
00:51:54 It's gonna be a tight fit.
00:52:04 All right.
00:52:14 Keith speaking.
00:52:17 Yes, okay. Okay.
00:52:22 - Hello, Mr. President?
00:52:25 Well, it changed course.
00:52:26 Eighty-mile winds heading straight
00:52:29 Well, we can launch in winds
00:52:34 Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure, sir.
00:52:39 No, they can't help us.
00:52:42 I know Kashvin pretty well.
00:52:44 You see, their Voshkod's
00:52:51 We can't launch any earlier, sir.
00:52:56 Well, what are you gonna do?
00:52:58 We just keep going.
00:53:01 Keep plugging.
00:53:10 Deep, dreamless sleep.
00:53:22 Nightmare?
00:53:23 He's an angry, active guy.
00:53:28 - Can we give him something to do?
00:53:35 He's not taking his pills.
00:53:39 He's got a lot to think about.
00:53:41 The sleep period
00:53:44 All right, but tell mission control
00:53:47 - Kid him along, keep him informed.
00:53:51 Houston CapCom, this is Courtney.
00:53:53 This is Houston, CapCom, Frank Piro.
00:53:56 Frank, wake them up.
00:53:57 And, Frank, Mr. Keith does not want
00:54:01 Just keep them informed,
00:54:04 Understood.
00:54:13 The sleep period is terminated.
00:54:18 Hi, fellas! We see you're awake now.
00:54:21 Thought we'd bring you up to date
00:54:24 The solid stacks
00:54:26 ...and we'll be moving the bird
00:54:30 Say, here's a little item
00:54:32 The Russians have just launched
00:54:36 Would you believe it's carrying a
00:54:43 Say, you guys still asleep?
00:54:45 No, we're having a wild party.
00:54:48 Hey, that's pretty funny.
00:54:50 You sure you're taking
00:54:53 We are, but the girls aren't.
00:54:57 Well, have fun.
00:55:01 Roger, Houston.
00:55:12 You never wind down,
00:55:15 No, never do.
00:55:18 I just do the job I was trained for:
00:55:21 I observe systems under stress.
00:55:26 Okay.
00:55:30 I'll give you some data points.
00:55:34 You know what I'm thinking now?
00:55:37 I'm thinking I never made
00:55:42 How do some of those pilots
00:55:46 I don't have a dime.
00:55:51 Are you getting all that?
00:55:53 Yeah. Yeah, getting all that.
00:55:58 I'll tell you something else.
00:56:01 I'll never get the Mars shot.
00:56:06 You know why? I'm too old.
00:56:13 How about that?
00:56:22 Why are you doing that?
00:56:24 - Relax, Buzz.
00:56:34 Hey, Buzz, you...
00:56:37 You remember that psychologist
00:56:41 The one with the blank sheet
00:56:44 I don't remember.
00:56:46 Sure. Sure, you remember.
00:56:49 He held up a blank sheet
00:56:52 "What do you see?"
00:56:54 - I don't remember.
00:56:57 Who, me?
00:57:00 I saw a blank sheet of paper.
00:57:04 No imagination.
00:57:06 No, no. Devotion to truth.
00:57:12 Why don't you take that Ph.D.
00:57:17 What are you gonna do
00:57:20 Drop it out the window in a bottle?
00:57:22 No, I'm the scientist.
00:57:24 I rely on the pilot to get me places.
00:57:27 If we'd had a couple more pilots, we'd
00:57:34 Jim, what did you see when the
00:57:38 They didn't have all that jazz
00:57:42 I saw a field covered with snow.
00:57:48 And underneath, there was new oats.
00:57:55 And then the snow melted,
00:58:04 But the psychologist said I was wrong,
00:58:11 They took you anyway?
00:58:13 Yeah, I guess they made a mistake.
00:58:15 No, no. They don't make mistakes.
00:58:21 That's right, I forgot.
00:58:24 They don't make mistakes, do they?
00:58:36 Ironman One.
00:58:37 Ironman One, Goldstone,
00:58:40 Yeah. Go, Goldstone.
00:58:42 You might want to look
00:58:45 What for?
00:58:46 There's somebody down there
00:58:50 Say again?
00:58:51 Why don't you look
00:59:11 That's San Diego, Jim.
01:00:06 Suspended beneath
01:00:08 ... the XRV is on its way
01:00:11 A flying wedge,
01:00:14 ... the XRV has never before been
01:00:17 When it makes its first flight, Col.
01:00:20 ... because that bird was designed
01:00:23 ... but now has been modified,
01:00:26 Col. Dougherty will be
01:00:28 ...the three astronauts
01:00:30 That XRV will plunge
01:00:32 ... at 17,000 miles per hour, a
01:00:36 When it breaks down
01:00:39 ... the speed will drop to only
01:00:42 ... and Dougherty will be flying
01:00:45 ... an airplane without power.
01:00:47 He'll take that bird straight in towards
01:00:50 ... to land on the long runway out there
01:02:25 Hello, Ted.
01:02:27 Thirty-six hours and 15 minutes.
01:02:29 - What about the hurricane?
01:02:32 - When did it turn?
01:02:34 - When do we get it?
01:02:37 - They said it was headed to sea.
01:02:39 How in the hell can they make
01:02:42 Stop wasting your energy. It changed
01:03:09 How are the children, Teresa?
01:03:12 Fine.
01:03:15 Mine are home studying for exams.
01:03:17 Boy, they sure are putting
01:03:27 It'll just be a minute.
01:03:29 I should caution you.
01:03:31 You're going to notice
01:03:35 But it's important to show them
01:03:38 We understand, Dick.
01:03:40 You want us to be confident?
01:03:42 The more relaxed they are,
01:03:45 I know why we're here.
01:03:50 Wyman's report to contact.
01:03:54 Celia?
01:04:07 - Hi, Celia.
01:04:10 Celia?
01:04:12 It's Jim.
01:04:14 - Frank, take it off for a minute.
01:04:18 Celia?
01:04:20 Celia.
01:04:22 Celia, we're gonna talk to him
01:04:46 Celia.
01:04:48 Well, here I am again.
01:04:51 Celia?
01:04:52 Well...
01:04:55 ...everybody's been so nice.
01:04:59 I spoke to your father today.
01:05:02 And he says to say hello.
01:05:04 His cold, it seemed better.
01:05:08 I bought some new shoes.
01:05:11 They hurt.
01:05:15 And the kids?
01:05:17 Oh, fine, fine.
01:05:20 I lost the bill to the insurance.
01:05:22 I thought I had it paid, and then
01:05:27 Listen, babe, I...
01:05:30 I just want to tell you
01:05:33 What?
01:05:36 I said, I love you.
01:05:41 I just wanted you to know.
01:05:44 I know that.
01:05:48 I just wanted to make sure.
01:05:52 Is it very Ionely where you are?
01:05:59 No, not for long.
01:06:03 We all have great confidence.
01:06:11 Celia, if you have any more
01:06:15 ... or the house
01:06:18 ... you can talk to Dougherty.
01:06:21 You can depend on him.
01:06:22 I gave him a kiss to give you
01:06:28 Yeah, that's just what I need.
01:06:31 You never can tell.
01:06:43 - Well, I gotta go now.
01:07:01 Celia, I...
01:07:04 I had a real good day today.
01:07:08 And...
01:07:11 ...you know,
01:07:17 ...I want you to remember
01:07:23 Jim?
01:07:29 We better cut it off now.
01:07:34 Oh, there's one more thing
01:07:40 I lost five pounds last week.
01:07:43 I can't wait till you see me.
01:07:55 You take care of yourself.
01:07:58 Take care.
01:08:26 Hi, sport.
01:08:28 Hiya, kid.
01:08:30 How are the mice?
01:08:33 Well, we're learning
01:08:36 You writing a big, dull book
01:08:39 No. No, a small, dull book.
01:08:43 How are you?
01:08:45 I'm working on a little project.
01:08:50 I've developed an experimental
01:08:54 Have you? Well, what is it?
01:08:58 I miss you like mad.
01:09:05 Yeah.
01:09:09 Your paper came out last week.
01:09:12 Professor Stavel said
01:09:14 It was the best he's ever read.
01:09:17 We're gonna make it, Teresa.
01:09:19 What?
01:09:20 - We're gonna make it back.
01:09:23 We're gonna make it back.
01:09:25 - I know.
01:09:28 - Yes.
01:09:39 Listen, Teresa, I...
01:09:42 I want you and the kids to...
01:09:50 Look, I have to go now.
01:09:54 - I'll be seeing you.
01:09:56 I'll be seeing you.
01:09:59 No, no.
01:10:01 I love you, remember that.
01:10:06 Remember that.
01:10:22 Buzz?
01:10:24 Yeah?
01:10:27 General LeClair called all the way
01:10:31 - I thought that was so nice.
01:10:35 They want to give you something,
01:10:37 Look, hon...
01:10:41 ...you don't seem to understand,
01:10:44 You understand?
01:10:46 I understand, Buzz.
01:10:48 You see...
01:10:50 ... I broke the washing machine,
01:10:55 I understand how you feel.
01:10:57 I could fix it if they'd
01:11:00 But they won't.
01:11:02 Listen, honey, I wrote something.
01:11:07 - Do you want to hear it?
01:11:09 "To the president, the White House,
01:11:14 Dear Mr. President...
01:11:16 ... we just wanted to let you know
01:11:19 ...the heroic action
01:11:21 We are grateful to you
01:11:25 The team effort of the past two days
01:11:28 ... our children and our..."
01:11:30 Don't you understand? It's all
01:11:36 I don't feel very good.
01:11:41 Buzz...
01:11:45 ...I have to go now.
01:11:49 I love you. I'll see you later.
01:12:05 Can you give me a reading on your
01:12:09 Thank you, Dick.
01:12:11 I just gave you that!
01:12:13 Negative, Buzz.
01:12:16 Negative, you gave me a PS...
01:12:17 What difference does it make?
01:12:21 Why don't you get us out of here?
01:12:23 Get ahold of him, Jim.
01:12:27 - Get us out...
01:12:31 Buzz?
01:12:32 Come on. Buzz.
01:12:36 Now just get us out of here,
01:12:41 Come on! Leave me alone!
01:12:53 Don't kill me!
01:12:55 Don't kill me!
01:12:57 It's not my fault!
01:13:03 Why'd you bring in his goddamn wife?
01:13:05 Keep him sedated,
01:13:08 Do you understand me?
01:13:11 You just get Dougherty off the pad.
01:13:19 He's tired, that's all.
01:13:22 Everybody's tired.
01:14:53 Fuel is complete.
01:14:55 Your final numbers:
01:14:59 ...hack sealed cabins burst, 8:42...
01:15:02 ...liftoff, 8:48, rendezvous, 9:33.
01:15:06 Roger, how's the wind?
01:15:08 Thirty-two knots and climbing.
01:15:10 - It's not changing course?
01:15:15 Well, Buzz, you're right.
01:15:17 This whole damn thing

01:25:07 I'm sorry, we had to scrub the launch.
01:25:19 Yeah...
01:25:22 I figured it might be like that,
01:25:28 How close did you get?
01:25:30 T-minus 60 seconds.
01:25:33 Now listen, Jim,
01:25:51 Boss...
01:25:53 ... I just... I wanted to tell you...
01:25:58 ... that you've done a great job,
01:26:06 We know that you've all worked
01:26:10 ... and whatever happens to us,
01:26:16 You've done a great job, really...
01:26:18 ... and, you know, whatever it is that's
01:26:24 GBI reports loss of signal.
01:26:27 Ascension will acquire the spacecraft,
01:26:33 Nope.
01:26:34 Move in, white room.
01:26:36 - Ted.
01:26:38 - I want to speak to Keith.
01:26:42 We've done everything
01:26:46 I'm telling you to launch! You get
01:26:50 Now launch, damn it, Keith,
01:26:54 Keith!
01:26:55 Keith!
01:27:16 I have a brief statement.
01:27:19 The launch of the XRV rescue craft...
01:27:23 ...was scrubbed at 8:47, Cape time.
01:27:28 The pad was shut down
01:27:32 ...when the wind velocity
01:27:37 Commander Pruett in the Apollo
01:27:46 This...
01:27:50 This was a very fine, fine effort.
01:27:57 Do you have any questions?
01:27:58 Mr. Keith, you say that
01:28:02 Are you going to reschedule
01:28:04 We have no plans.
01:28:05 - Any future rescue attempts?
01:28:09 Mr. Keith, you say the men have
01:28:13 I did.
01:28:14 What was their reaction?
01:28:20 Do you have any other questions?
01:28:22 There's an assumption that the space
01:28:28 ...for an investigation
01:28:30 ...plus a general examination
01:28:35 ...and the morality of putting men
01:28:38 What's your question?
01:28:40 Are the results you gained
01:28:43 You're damn right they are!
01:28:45 Know what they accomplished living
01:28:51 Because of men like these, we've
01:28:55 The moon trip was a walk
01:28:57 We're going to the stars,
01:29:02 Mr. Keith?
01:29:05 Men will be killed in this effort just as
01:29:09 ...and bars and... What is it?
01:29:11 - Look at the numbers.
01:29:13 The numbers, Mr. Keith, the numbers!
01:29:19 - In God's name...
01:29:33 In this disturbance,
01:29:36 In the center, or eye,
01:29:38 The eye of the hurricane
01:29:41 All I wish to hear from each of you
01:29:46 Do we have a launch window
01:29:49 We affirm a launch window
01:29:52 Can you launch your rocket
01:29:55 - Yes, sir.
01:29:57 Well, it's been kicked around
01:29:59 - The data's...
01:30:01 It'll fly.
01:30:03 - Carp?
01:30:04 - Do we have 16 minutes in the eye?
01:30:07 Do we have 14?
01:30:08 We've been trying to get a chart
01:30:11 What's your judgment?
01:30:13 I'll buy 14.
01:30:15 Can we move the tower back
01:30:17 You give the order and we'll do it.
01:30:20 Houston, Flight.
01:30:22 Is the rescue craft go
01:30:24 We can have Point Charlie,
01:30:27 Rescue, can you rendezvous without
01:30:32 You just get me in the ballpark.
01:30:34 Then we are go for launch
01:30:40 Roger, 2231:06 local time.
01:30:44 Roger, 2231:06 local time.
01:30:48 We'll recycle to T-minus 30.
01:30:56 You know, of course, that by
01:31:01 There's not enough oxygen left
01:31:05 What about two men?
01:31:07 We don't figure that way, we plot
01:31:11 Is there sufficient oxygen
01:31:16 For one?
01:31:22 Two might just make it.
01:31:49 - Go!
01:32:00 This is launch control,
01:32:02 Col. Dougherty has confirmed...
01:32:04 ... that all spacecraft systems
01:32:07 Launch director is about to feed the
01:32:12 This is an unbelievable scene.
01:32:17 Overhead...
01:32:20 ...nothing but black night
01:32:23 ...as the eye of the Hurricane Alma
01:32:27 There's an eerie hush
01:32:30 No rain, no wind.
01:32:33 The lives of three men are measured
01:32:38 ...and here on pad 41
01:32:40 ...we're in the middle
01:32:42 It's a single moment in the life
01:32:46 ...reprieve, we hope,
01:32:51 The service tower is
01:32:53 As soon as it's 800 feet away
01:32:57 ...but they'll launch
01:32:59 That tower is expendable...
01:33:01 ...but the three men
01:33:07 - LD, SRO.
01:33:09 - You have a clear to launch.

01:36:03 Timer burn T plus 12, plus 15.
01:36:06 - Have Fido confirm my numbers.
01:36:25 Rescue, Flight. We show you right
01:36:29 Cause of death will be anoxia.
01:36:37 You know, that's
01:36:40 The brain gets starved for oxygen.
01:36:43 Ironman One, this is the Cape.
01:36:48 Just before the end you feel great
01:36:56 When you're ready
01:37:02 ...blackout.
01:37:04 Ironman One, this is the Cape.
01:37:11 You know, that's
01:37:15 There's not much data on that either.

01:37:52 What the hell do they want?
01:37:57 Hello, Jim, I want to talk to you.
01:37:59 Yeah, what do you want?
01:38:01 I have some numbers for you.
01:38:03 The eye of the hurricane
01:38:08 ...and we had a second window
01:38:13 We've successfully launched
01:38:17 ... do you understand?
01:38:20 You have launched the XRV?
01:38:23 Yes, that's correct, the XRV
01:38:26 ... and is on its way to rendezvous.
01:38:28 Our transfer will be at 2328.
01:38:32 That's 55 minutes from now,
01:38:35 Yeah, I read.
01:38:41 Jim, how do you evaluate
01:38:51 Well, we have whatever oxygen's
01:38:55 ...and there are only two bottles
01:38:59 ...five minutes each,
01:39:04 My backpack
01:39:08 ...but there's not much oxygen
01:39:12 Well, you'll have to save your
01:39:14 Yeah, I know that.
01:39:18 Fifty-five minutes.
01:39:25 We'll be dead by then.
01:39:26 Well, only if you continue
01:39:33 Well, we can't cut down.
01:39:36 Let's think about that.
01:39:40 You want us to lower
01:39:44 No, we've examined that.
01:39:50 Well, we're lying here
01:39:53 What else can we do?
01:39:56 You must think.
01:40:07 Yeah, we're thinking.
01:40:13 Are we talking about the same thing?
01:40:18 Yeah.
01:40:21 Why don't you talk it over?
01:40:24 If you could work out something,
01:40:27 Yeah, we'll talk it over.
01:40:29 I must point out that any effective
01:40:33 Look, don't tell me what to do!
01:40:35 We've been taking your damned
01:40:38 From now on we're gonna
01:40:42 Whatever we do, you're out of it!
01:40:44 I appreciate what you're saying, Jim...
01:40:47 ...and I agree with you,
01:40:51 Yeah, anything else?
01:40:54 No, that's all at the moment.
01:40:58 Would you please give me
01:41:02 Yes, that's launch
01:41:07 ...rendezvous and transfer at 2328.
01:41:11 Thanks.
01:41:29 Launch at 2231:06,
01:41:36 - That's what they say.
01:41:41 Through the eye of a hurricane.
01:41:43 Jesus, 55 minutes.
01:41:47 - Right.
01:41:57 Well...
01:42:00 ...one of us is gonna have to go.
01:42:04 I mean...
01:42:08 ...that's what we're talking about,
01:42:11 One of us goes and the other two stay.
01:42:18 Well...
01:42:21 ...what are we gonna do?
01:42:26 Look, let's do it scientifically.
01:42:28 Two big guys throw
01:42:31 Yeah, well that's an idea.
01:42:41 We're gonna have to talk about this.
01:42:49 I could do it by chance.
01:42:54 I'll tear out strips from a pad.
01:42:56 One short, two long.
01:42:59 Yeah.
01:43:03 Oh, Jesus, we can't do that.
01:43:06 No, we can't do that.
01:43:10 Well look, I don't want
01:43:14 All right, then figure the odds.
01:43:16 Two guys, three guys,
01:43:18 I say double the pills.
01:43:20 No moving, no talking,
01:43:23 Even when there's no pressure there's
01:43:28 You live for a while even when
01:43:33 For God's sake,
01:43:36 - You're dreaming, Stone.
01:43:44 I'll go.
01:43:47 I'm the weakest, I'm using up
01:43:50 It's all right.
01:43:53 All right, all right.
01:44:00 All right, get your helmets on.
01:44:04 I'm going out to fix the engine.
01:44:06 Are you kidding?
01:44:09 What the hell do you know about it?
01:44:16 I don't know why I let them
01:44:18 I should've done this two days ago.
01:44:23 Come on, get your helmets on.
01:46:04 He'll fix it.
01:46:06 He's good, he'll fix it.
01:46:09 You son of a bitch. You know
01:46:19 - Buzz, don't!
01:46:21 - Get back in here.
01:46:25 You're going to rip out the umbilicals.
01:46:28 Jim, don't do it. Jim!
01:46:32 Jim.
01:46:34 Jim, don't do it. Jim!
01:46:46 Stoney. Stoney,
01:46:49 - Stoney?

01:48:52 Mrs. Pruett, I wanted to talk to you.
01:48:56 Mrs. Pruett...
01:48:58 ...your husband is dead.
01:49:06 It was an accident.
01:49:11 He was trying to repair the spacecraft.
01:49:22 I'm sorry.
01:49:46 Jim?
01:49:48 Jim?
01:49:51 I told you, Jim's not here.

01:49:56 Where's Stoney at?
01:49:59 I'm here.
01:50:03 Stoney?
01:50:05 Dougherty's coming.
01:50:14 Stoney, tell Jim to get us out of here.
01:50:19 Stop eating your oxygen,
01:50:22 Be still!

01:50:43 Roger, three, two, one.
01:50:51 Oxygen.
01:50:53 Can't. Can't, gotta save it
01:51:00 I'm dying.
01:51:03 - I'm dying.
01:51:08 It takes a long time to die.
01:51:11 Ironman, this is Rescue.
01:51:14 Ironman, this is Rescue.
01:51:18 - Read you.
01:51:24 Say again?
01:51:25 Come on, Stoney,
01:51:29 Roger. Roger, acquisition lights.
01:51:41 Okay, Stoney, I'm coming right down
01:51:46 Six minutes, roger.
01:51:48 Buzz, six more minutes.
01:51:56 - I can't.
01:52:00 - I can't.
01:52:03 Think of...
01:52:07 Think of the Earth, Buzz.
01:52:10 Look at the Earth, Buzz.
01:52:13 Look, can you...?
01:52:15 Can you tell where we are?
01:52:18 Stoney?
01:52:22 All right, Buzz.
01:52:26 All right.

01:56:45 Your oxygen readout?
