Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by LM-12: [B]more on the RCS fuel dump just prior to splashdown on Apollo 10: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]CERNAN: At the completion of the purge and the closing of the valves, we still had a fire on the right-hand side. A fire out of the thrusters over there that was big enough or hot enough to show flames leaping up past the right-hand window and there were definite flames and I'd say this lasted for at least 60 seconds before it went out. STAFFORD: Gene says, "Tom we got a fire out here." I said, "what are they going to do about it?" YOUNG: It went out when we hit the water. CERNAN: It went out long before we hit the water. It burned itself out probably after about a minute, or a minute and a half. But it was pretty impressive because the flames were leaping by the right-hand window. YOUNG: We had a fire on Gemini 10 too. CERNAN: We had a fire on 9 that lasted all the way to the water.[/i]<BLOCKQUOTE> [/B][/QUOTE]
