This is Gemini Control, Houston at 2 hours, 9 minutes into the flight of Gemini 8. The crew by now has probably completed their first meal in space. They were reported having their lunch at approximately an hour and 50 minutes into the flight. Meanwhile, the Surgeon's console here has passed on some information about heart rates at various points in the flight to date. During the launch phase, Neil Armstrong showed a high heart rate of 146 and the low during the powered phase of flight was 120. Neil's normal heart rate runs between 65 to 70, David Scott, meanwhile, reached a high during the launch phase of 128, his low was 91. And Scott normally runs about 55 beats per minute, During the burn - during the first burn - south of New Orleans, Neil's heart reached a peak rate of 105. At Loss of Signal at Antigua, his heart rate was 80. Dave Scott, during that burn, showed a heart rate of 75 and at Loss of Signal at Antigua, his heart rate was 60, We have some tape conversation from the Ascension station between Gemini 8 and Jim Lovell, here in Houston. We're ready to play that conversation for you now.

This is Gemini Control, Houston as the spacecraft went over the Tananarive area, the ground and the spacecraft simply tagged up. There was no additional discussion. We're about five minutes away from our next maneuver of phasing adjust, which is programmed for 2 hours, 18 minutes, 25 seconds into the flight. You heard Jim Lovell update Neil Armstrong on the precise values of wanting this burn. We can confirm that the earlier burn was done apparently. There was some accelerometer bias in some of the guidance components which left some residual numbers in their incremental velocity indicators and these had to be burned off but this was done in the - we were satisfied that the initial maneuver was carried off successfully. This is Gemini Control, Houston.
