LEGAL NOTE: Generally ALL of the photos on this site are by NASA and/or NASA photographers save for photos taken by myself (which would be annotated as having been taken by me, Emily C.). I take no picture credit for any photos having been taken by NASA and NASA photographers, for obvious reasons. Thank you.

Angry Apollo 7 Transcripts, Part 2
  • CAPCOM Number 1 (Deke Slayton):
    Okay. I think you ought to clearly understand there is absolutely no experience at all with landing without the helmet on.

  • SCHIRRA:
    And there no experience with the helmet either on that one.

  • CAPCOM:
    That one we've got a lot of experience with, yes.

  • SCHIRRA:
    If we had an open visor, I might go along with that.

  • CAPCOM:
    Okay. I guess you better be prepared to discuss in some detail when we land why we haven't got them on. I think you're too late now to do much about it.

  • SCHIRRA:
    That's affirmative. I don't think anybody down there has worn the helmets as much as we have.

  • CAPCOM:
    Yes.

  • SCHIRRA:
    We tried them on this morning.

  • CAPCOM:
    Understand that. The only thing we're concerned about is the landing. We couldn't care less about the reentry. But it's your neck, and I hope you don't break it.

  • SCHIRRA:
    Thanks, babe.

  • CAPCOM:
    Over and out.

  • THANKS, BITCH
