I was putting in the thrust with mostly the aft thrusters and the down-firing top thruster. I don't think I used the left and right thruster, at all. I don 1 t think I used the bottom thurster at all. There was no difficulty controlling a~y of them. I used the forward firing thrusters once or twice to try to slow dow:i, to take out total velocity. Then there was the Accelero~eter Bias Check l which was another one of those things. I don't know hon I let it get into the flight plan. We both joked about that one, huh, Mac? We were really going to get an Accelerometer Check when we were trying to track the booster. I was putting 16V ' s on the IVI 1s at a rate of a foot per minute at least. We ended up with over a foot per minute, I think, over that period of time. We couldn I t have checked anybody 1 s accelerometer bias, so I just didn't even fool around with it. We were supposed- to take a blood pressure. Did you take that blood ~F.10ENTIAL
