No, not at all.
There were a few pieces that came around from it,
but not as much as there was at spacecraft separ­
ation after insertion.
Did you see anything?
No .
I didn ' t see anything off the adapter.
All right .
The equipment adapter. I just saw it off of the
retro adapter.
Why don't you go to retrofire then?
Okay.
Do you have anything else on the adapter separ ation?
No, I don't think so.
I was impressed with the cleanness in the feel ,
and I didn ' t even want to look around .
I
just happened to be looking over at Jim' s window at
that time , and , as I said, I could see pieces
go around , and I could especially see pieces
to this side. What I saw looked like a
mount with two round things on it.
I had been
briefed on this thing by John Young and he
said it looked like two pump packages .
So,
I said it looked l i ke two pump packages , too .
Looked like just what I expected it to.
And there was lots of debris around it as it whistled.
