Roger. I'm in reentry attitude.

Ah.

Roger, how does it look out the window now?

Ah, the sun is coming in and so all I can see really is just, ah, just darkness. The sky is very black.

Roger, you have some more time to look if you like.

7 from Cap Com, how do you feel up there?

I feel very good, auto fuel is 90, manual is 50.

Roger, 0.05 g in 10.

OK.

OK, everything is very good, ah.

I got 0.05 g and roll rate has started.

Roger.

Got a pitch rate in here, OK, g's are starting to build.

Roger, reading you loud and clear.

Roger, g's are building, we're up to 6.

There's 9.

There's about 10; the handle is out from under it; here I got a little pitch rate coming back down through 7.
