is poisoning the astronauts with every breath in and out.
- Heads up. Heads up. - [ TV Continues ]
- Oh ! Go, go, go, go ! - Someone get that. Damn.
Heads up, people. Look out now.
- What's this ? - That's what they gotta make.
- l hope you got the procedures for me. - Right here.
That's it ?
[ CAPCOM ] All right, Aquarius, this is Houston.
Do you have a flight plan ?
Affirmative, Andy. Jack's got one right here.
Okay, we have an unusual procedure for you here.
We need you to rip the cover off.
He wants you to rip the cover off the flight plan.
[ Laughs ] With pleasure.
[ CAPCOM ] The other materials you're gonna need here are...
- a lithium hydroxide canister-- - Two, two.
Two lithium hydroxide canisters. l'm sorry.
- A roll of gray tape. - Duct tape.
[ CAPCOM ] Duct tape. You need an L.C.G. bag-- Two L.C.G. bags.
The red suit hoses, and you've got the flight plan cover.
- Can you give me a timetable ? - Henry ! Henry !
What about their level of carbon dioxide ?
lt's, uh, climbing.
You're saying that they're almost out of breathable air ?
Wait a second. That's not what he said. He said we're working on it.
[ CAPCOM ] You want to cut the duct tape three feet long.
- Tell him to use his arm. - Just use your arm.
-lt's a good arm length. -l see what you're getting at. Hold on.
Jack, tear that piece of tape down the middle lengthwise.
- [ CAPCOM ] All right ? - Hold on, Houston.
While the astronauts appear to have enough oxygen to keep them alive,
one thing they have too much of is carbon dioxide.
With each breath, the three men expel...
more of the poisonous gas into the lunar module cockpit,
and the scrubbers intended to keep the atmosphere breathable...
are quickly becoming saturated.
Oh, ***. l tore it.
*** !
Houston, what do we do if we ripped the bag ? Can we tape it ?
- They just tore the bag. - Oh, no.
Uh, stand by. What should l tell 'em to do ?
They should have one more.
But they've still got a long way to come.
They are now working on their backup facilities, their emergency facilities.
The problem is, if anything more goes wrong, they're in real trouble.
