[00:00:00,000] 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. [00:00:16,000] And if they are a yaw check, it's fantastic. I suspect that the star, see, is up to us. It would be very interesting. It is neither. [00:00:31,000] It is one of the white objects. [00:00:36,000] So I have two stars that are studying quite still. The white object actually looked like it came toward me, but it wasn't. [00:00:49,000] I can actually see the particle of that playing on it, and I have the chance to start it as a wave shaving. It's a very good description of it. [00:01:03,000] My rates are now just about zero in all three axes. [00:01:13,000] I still have white in the first open course. I'm looking straight up. And yet, at this point, Mr. G, that my object is, I get my couch here. I really can't pick it too well, y'all. Just about inverted at this point. [00:01:41,000] 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. [00:02:00,000] Periscope is blocking out another rapidly, and sunset is almost blocked out completely at this point, and is really not used to me. [00:02:26,000] [sound of waves] [00:02:56,000] [sound of waves] [00:03:06,000] I'm getting a real burst of light in the window, and I really don't know what it is. This point, I should be coming up on a sunset, five hours and fifteen minutes. [00:03:20,000] Periscope is dark. I must be just getting the last bucket in the horizon, getting back down on it.
