Back to the lwo Jima
and our live cameras there.
2:01:16
The Navy recovery and rescue
helicopters already airborne,
2:01:20
circling, waiting
for first radar contact.
2:01:23
Coming up now on three minutes
until time of drogue deployment.
2:01:26
Bill, what time you got?
2:01:28
Standing by for any reports
of acquisition.
2:01:35
One minute and 30 seconds
to end of blackout.
2:01:44
No reentering ship
has ever taken longer...
2:01:46
than three minutes
to emerge from blackout.
2:01:49
This is the critical moment.
Will the heat shield hold?
2:01:52
Will the command module survive
the intense heat of reentry?
2:01:56
If it doesn't,
there'll only be silence.
2:01:59
'- Mommy, you're squishing me.
'- Oops, sorry, sweetie.
2:02:02
It's okay.
2:02:19
Okay, Flight,
that's three minutes.
2:02:21
'- We are standing by for acquisition.
'- Copy that.
2:02:26
Odyssey, Houston. Do you read me?
2:02:29
Odyssey, this is Houston.
Do you read?
2:02:31
Expected time of reacquisition,
2:02:34
the time when the astronauts were
expected to come out of blackout,
2:02:37
has come and gone.
2:02:41
About all any of us can do now
is just listen and hope.
2:02:45
We're about to learn whether
or not that heat shield,
2:02:48
which was damaged
by the explosion three days ago,
2:02:50
has withstood
the inferno of reentry.
2:02:56
Odyssey, this is Houston.
Do you read me?
