All kinds of garbage came by the spacecraft. It
looked like we blew a whole bunch of junk out of it.
I remember distinctly seeing gold balls.

Great bi g balls of l iquid.

So it must have been raw fuel .
Something at this
time wasn't working right, but I guess number 8
was putting out full thrust and number 7 was still
worki ng but not all the way.
Now mayb<? right then
and there if we'd have really worked that system
over; fired all the thrusters in Direc1; and a
couple of good healthy loads throug it ,., and put
the heater s back on the line, we might have sal­
vaged thew
vaged the whole system. It must have been right
at the point of freezing up.
Cooper
This was early i n the fifth day.
