It was , and I was real sorry we d:idn'·t havG
a computer because after those two thingn , which
I thought were done certainly as good as I
could possibly do them.
I felt sure that ~e
could have landed right on the cotton-pickin~
car rier ' s deck if we just had a computer to tell
us wher e t o go . I would have liked to have tried
the guidance.
I worked hard eno,.1g'.l on that
reentry guidance and I didn't get to use it .
Jim, I think there is one thing that we left
out - -the reading of the percentage of 0AMS fuel
left.
I think we called out --3
or 4
per cent.
That ' s right.
I had
3
or . 4
pe·rcen t
remaining on the gage .
We called it out and
it will be on the tape .
I wrote it down ~t
3
percent.
Here it is.
3 percent
of
the fuel left after 0AMS.
Yes , an1 it wa~ a little hard to rea1 down
there and parallax was
pretty bad.
I estima­
ted that it was
3
per cent.
I read off the g_uantity on the gage and it was
a little over 1100.
