I didn't want to trust that altimeter .
Ed
kept fooling around with that blood pressure
without getting any air out of it, and finally
I said, "Okay, Ed, we're going to go to two­
point." I guess by then he had the blood
pressure completed,
I think we got a good blood pressure.
So , just like we ' d always practiced, I said,
"3, 2, 1 , MARK ",and punched the single-point release .
R~lease
We both had our heads braced up on our arms.
We had our arms up on the windshield and my head
wasn't exactly on my arm.
Was yours?
My head was on the arm and pressed over to the
side of the spacecraft.
I was well wedged in ,
I felt.
So was I. My head went forward a little bi t,
back a little bit, then back up forward again,
and it didn ' t hit anypl ace.
Did yours?
No.
I had my head pressed on my arm the whole
time.
I don't believe it left the arm very much ,
because I actually had it wedged from behind , too.
So, I thought going to two-point was a lot
less violent than the ~ide oniihe d:t'ogue.
