Jack Swigert:
I've been going over the numbers again. Have they called up with a re-entry plan yet? 'Cause we're coming in too shallow, we're coming in too damn fast.Jim Lovell:We're working on something, Jack, just hold on.Jack Swigert:Listen, listen, they gave us too much delta vee, they had us burn too long. At this rate, we're going to skip right out of the atmosphere and we're never going to get home.Fred Haise, Sr.:What are you talking about? How'd you figure that?Jack Swigert:I can add.Jim Lovell:Jack, they've got half the Ph.D.s on the planet working on it.Fred Haise, Sr.:Houston says we're right on the money.Jack Swigert:And what if they had made a mistake, all right? And there was no way to reverse it, you think they would tell us? There's no reason for them to tell us!Fred Haise, Sr.:What do you mean they're not going to tell us? That's bullshit!Jim Lovell:All right, there's a thousand things that have to happen in order. We are on number eight. You're talking about number 692.Jack Swigert:And in the meantime, I'm trying to tell you we're coming in too fast. I think they know it, and I think that's why we don't have a God-damned re-entry plan.Jim Lovell:That's duly noted, thank you Jack

Have they called up with a reentry plan yet
00:00:07.047 --> 00:00:09.717
We're comin' in too shallow and fast We're workin' on something Hold on
00:00:09.008 --> 00:00:11.709
l can't remember the ratio to temperature
00:00:11.802 --> 00:00:13.711
We got no references on board
00:00:13.804 --> 00:00:15.713
Let's see if Houston can pull up the mill specs
00:00:15.806 --> 00:00:19.756
Listen listen They gave us too much Delta V They had us burn too long
00:00:19.852 --> 00:00:23.055
At this rate we're gonna skip right out of the atmosphere and we're never gonna get back
00:00:23.147 --> 00:00:26.516
What are you talkin' about How'd you figure that
00:00:26.609 --> 00:00:28.352
l can add
00:00:30.488 --> 00:00:34.998
They've got half the Ph D s on the planet working on this Houston says we're on the money
00:00:34.116 --> 00:00:36.239
What if they made a mistake and there was no way to reverse it
00:00:36.327 --> 00:00:38.002
Do you think they would tell us
00:00:38.245 --> 00:00:41.697

There's a thousand things that have to happen in order
00:00:44.335 --> 00:00:49.412
We are on number eight You're talking about number 692
00:00:49.507 --> 00:00:52.591
ln the meantime l'm trying to tell you we're coming in too fast
00:00:52.676 --> 00:00:55.761
l think they know it and that's why we don't have a goddamn reentry plan
00:00:55.846 --> 00:00:57.886
That's duly noted Thank you Jack
