is ready to fly and the operations director at mission control in Houston reports the worldwide tracking network is ready.

Now, all of these people, thousands of them and the hundreds of pieces of equipment needed for the flight report, they are ready to go.

Flight director Chris Kraft is notified that the Mission Control Center in Houston that the Gemini Titan 4 is now ready and is committed for our launch.

So we're coming up at five and a half minutes before left off.

From this point on, the count is controlled automatically.

This is what is called the terminal portion of the count, where an automatic sequencer takes over to make the final checks electronically.

If anything in the maze of wires, tubes, and pipes that make up this 11-story tall Jiminy

Titan rocket poses a threat to the safety of the flight, the count will be stopped automatically.

Otherwise, in a few moments, astronauts Macbitt and White should be airborne.

We will be getting another report momentarily on the status of the flight.

At this point, everything seems to be proceeding smoothly.

And if it is, if it continues so, the launch should take place in about five minutes.

Control will be, from launch time on, at the Mission Control Center, a spacking new room and a new three-story building costing something over $100 million, a command spacecraft center in Houston.

And we expect to get a report within just a few seconds on the latest status in these final moments of the countdown on the launch of Gemini 4, Paul Haney in Houston.

This is Jiminy Control Houston to count T-minutes 5 minutes in county.

At T-minutes, we completed a spacecraft test conductor status check and all elements were green and go. At the conclusion of that status check, spacecraft test conductor's status check and all elements were green and go. At the conclusion

of that status check, spacecraft test conductor Frank Whitig of the Kennedy Space Center

signed off to make a short message. It's simply said. Okay, Jim, I have a good flight.

In the last minute, the large vehicle test conductor, Frank, carried a good flight. In the last minute, the large vehicle

co-conductor, Frank,

carrier, the Martin Company is conducting his status check

that bird looks just as green as the spacecraft.
