[00:00] I have some pretty stars in sight, and also I have the little white objects that seem to come from the capsule itself and drift off. [00:16] And if they are a yaw check, it's fantastic. [00:20] I suspect that the star I see is Arcturus, but they're very interesting. [00:28] It is neither. It is one of the white objects. [00:37] So now two stars are standing quite still. The white object actually looked like it came toward me, but it wasn't. [00:50] You can actually see the particle there, flying off, and as John described it, there's a lathe shaving. It's a very good description of it. [01:03] My rates are now just about zero in all three axes. [01:19] I still have light in the periscope, of course. I'm looking straight up, and yet at this point, there's the view that my attitude is... [01:32] [unintelligible]. I really can't pick it too early on. Just about inverted at this point. [01:44] And if my nose is above the horizon, as a result, I notice that these particles keep tending after me, relative to me, at any time. [02:10] The periscope is blocking up rather rapidly at sunset. [02:20] It's almost blocked out completely at this point, and it's really not much use to me. [02:50] It gave a real burst of light in the window, and I really don't know what it is. [03:12] At this point, I should be coming up on a sunset. Five hours and 15 minutes. The periscope is dark. [03:22] I must be just getting a last look at the horizon, getting that down on it.
