the propellants .
We ' ve got the EGS oxygen.
We 've
got quantity gages for that .
We 've got electrical
power and we ' ve got .ways of measuring that from
the ammeter.
We've got food and we can al ways
count that .
But when we get down to water, which
is just as critical as all these other things in
flyir.g_ long duration missions, t here ' s not a single
way in the world we can measure how much we've
gotten or how muchi. we ' ve drunk.
I think it ' s
imperative that we get some method of measuring
this t hing before we try to fly another long du­
ration flight.
The white light on the little utility light was
not satisfactory.
We tried to look to see if we
could find out what we had in the cabin bottle- ­
Water tank.
And that wasn ' t satisfactory. I think we ought , ,
to have some type of a metering system which
would enable us to actually determine the water
that we 've utilized and in some way koow that
we ' re getting it out of t he adapter.
I don ' t
know .
We need to look into the whole water
metering system, which is non- existent, and see
ic!o~{Bt some kind of system.
