I agree. Okay.
Do you have anything else?
That horizon isn't very good on the daylight side,
either.
No, the horizon isn't very good on the daylight side.
The horizon's not very good anywhere, really.
We ' ll go more into that on D-9.
You could see the lights of the attitude thrusters,
and it didn't seem to make any difference which ones
you were firing at night. They weren't blinding
by any stretch of the imagination.
They looked like lightening maybe.
Little flashes ·.
The attitude thrusters lit up the sky a little
but not a great amount.
They weren't blinding either.
Not much to say about that. Okay.
I want you to
discuss'·adapter separation that you saw.
Okay.
On the adapter separation, Jim and I agreed
to separate the electric and the OAMS, and then
pause between the adapter separation so that we
could dwell a little bit on the separation and
absorb as much as we could about it. When it did
separate, we got a very clean feeling of separation
between the t wo and a very definite feeling that
the adapter and the spacecraft had separated .
There wasn ' t much question in my mind.
Was there
much in yours, Jim?
