I'm in fly-by-wire now.

This is Friendship Seven. Turned around, yawed 180 [degrees] to see the sunrise here, and also to see these little, these little gadgets here that I don't know what they are.

They do not seem to be coming from the capsule at all. There are too many of them. They're all spread out all over the place; it looks like they're some of them might be miles away.

This is Com Tech, Canton Com Tech. Do you read? Over.

Go ahead, Canton.

Com Tech, Roger, read you loud and clear. Friendship Seven, this is Canton Com Tech, you are weak but readable. Standby for Cap Com.

Roger.
